[ANN][PIVX] - PRIVATE INSTANT VERIFIED TRANSACTION - PROOF OF STAKE - ZEROCOIN

[kbhutto]

OK everyone. It was just brought to my attention that the chain started moving again. Some clown went ahead and custom compiled a wallet with the staking time parameter removed and figured they would get all of the coins for a day. I am going to make a new checkpoint at block 201 and we will all have to roll back to keep them from getting away with these shenanigans. I was actually worried that this might happen earlier today when I let the 259201 hash that was checkpointed out into the wild.

We are all going to need a new wallet and recync thanks to this guy. I will get on that in a few, but I think I am going to keep the relaunch at the 9PM tomorrow time, unless there is an outpouring of people asking for more time to prepare.

Another release!

Do we have to resync again?

Yeah. Sorry. You would not have had to if it weren't for someone modifying the code for nefarious purposes.

Really, I guess it should be taken as a compliment, someone with a bit of coding skills is keeping a close enough eye on things to try and get some quick, free coins. Just wish they would have come to us and said "Hey, I have a bit of coding know how and would like to help". They may have been able to get further ahead that way than the approach they took.

Anyway, the new source is up. s3v3n wil get the binaries up later on tonight. We are still going to restart the chain tomorrow at 9PM EST. This is the last time you will have to go through this.

[jakiman]

What's another day anyways. I bought some more DNET and learnt heaps of stuff during the past 2 weeks.

New Binaries are up, please follow the same instructions as the last time.. Thanks

Great! I'll start updating now.

Can you put this news update & instructions on the OP also?
(so those who only check the OP knows about it as well)

[q327K091]

update: master nodes & UI updated, all parked @ "blocks" : 259200

"version" : 2010100,
"protocolversion" : 70650,
"walletversion" : 61000,
"blocks" : 259200,

see ya post launch tonight! (I have a patience of a saint..plus automated scrypts  to deal with the server farm

[mikegi]

A question about the masternodes.

Do they need to be started by the controller wallet or will their status change when blocks start being staked?

I can't remember exactly what the masternode statuses I saw yesterday before starting were but, it don't they activated until after I started them.

Anyway, I won't loose sleep tonight. Will leave a terminal sleeping and ready to start them.

Devs are scammers and can't make anything good! Dump your coins now!!!!!11

Sorry, just wanted to make this thread looking like any other thread on this forum. I think devs are doing good work and the community is great.
Updating my wallet now.

[cryptomaxsun]

Issues decided with a coin? Which version of the purse is relevant?

Issues decided with a coin? Which version of the purse is relevant?

Yes. v2.1.1.0 is the latest and should be installed then resync from scratch. Instructions & download link are below:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1262920.msg15935850#msg15935850
https://github.com/Darknet-Crypto/Darknet/releases/tag/v2.1.1.0

Blockchain will stay stuck at block 259200 and only will start progressing at 8/17 21:00 EDT. (approx. 15 hours from now)

Sadly there is a big problem with the devs of this coin.  They believe to be so great that they don't answer most questions of the new comers here. Sadly as proved, their arrogance is only as high as their coding is weak.

Why after all the positive messages I wrote about this coin I say such words? I asked repeatedly for a linux 32bit version... being ignored by them, I decided to compile myself. So after learning all the basis of the process, which is by the way super user unfriendly (like everything on linux: this unnecessary complication is just used to mask the lack of coding power and smartness to make it user friendly) but easy. I see that one the ./configure needs to be modified with .ac at the end and worst of all the make command doesn't work for a yet unknown reason to me.

So to resume, their arrogant and unhelpful attitude, like if they invented the wheel, is detrimental to the community and eventual growth of this coin. I find it sad.

If you are building from git, you need to generate the configure file. ( the .ac means that "autoconf" uses this to generate the file). The autogen.sh script calls autoreconf which calls autoconf among other things.

git pull
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

It is mentioned in the "INSTALL" file in the root of the repository. I haven't tried compiling it for 32 bit Linux. I would suppose it would be ok if the dependencies are met.

There's every chance that they just missed your request (yes, both times) due to so many sync / fork issue posts.
Have you PM'ed s3v3nh4cks directly or asked for it in DNET slack support channel? Those would be the best way.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't catch any previous posts asking for a 32 bit Linux binary. As jakiman pointed out, we have been pretty busy with other things lately, and haven't really spent a lot of time in here. Reaching out to us via slack or skype would have gotten you a much quicker response.

Also, you don't add .ac to the end of the name of the configure file. The configure file is used by autoconf to build the configure file that is then used to build the make file.

As mikegi stated, the correct commands to build the binaries from source are:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

Which should work just fine assuming you have installed all of the dependencies.

To save you the hassle, https://github.com/Darknet-Crypto/Darknet/releases/download/v2.1.1.0/Linux32.zip.

Sorry you find us arrogant and unhelpful, at least no one else has accused of that. If you feel as if you are being ignored again be sure to reach out to us via some other methods, slack, skype, or PM. We are here to help those who need it, as I am sure most would agree.

what a mess
2.0.2 2.0.3 2.0.5 2.0.6 2.0.7 2.0.8
2.1.0
and now 2.1.1 ?!

OMG
it was like 6-7 wallets for 1 week ....

[B1tUnl0ck3r]

I feel very bad and would like to present the devs my sincere apologize for my last message. I have no excuses.

First of all thank you very much for having compiled this linux 32 bit version. Then to explain you my total frustration and previous anger, I have every time a lot of difficulties with linux (in this case debian). It angers me so much not to be able to operate it, to have always to search to do basic things in the command line. Furthermore this old computer is almost louder than an S9 at full speed. Moreover I clearly understand that my timing for my request was quite bad.

Sincerely sorry again for my lame and stupid last message and thank you again for 32bit version.

Yes, they could have surrended after the second or third failure, but they has been /will keep working until find the solution. This made me very comfortable about  having a nice amount of this coin.

Yup. You are absolutely right it sure has been a mess. We are looking forward to moving past this when things start moving again tonight. We are so grateful to the community for bearing with us through all of the hassle this past week has presented us. I think that the folks in here are some of the best in crypto, and we are so glad to have you guys here with us.

We knew there would be a few roadbumps, but never expected to encounter the level of hassle that we did. There is clearly a reason all other PoS coins just stick with the old Bitcoin codebase, but if we want PoS in general to remain competitive things must advance. Most of the issues we have encountered along the way were only evident once there were a large number of people stress testing the system, we could not have done it without you guys. We are so grateful to you all.

Thank you for that. Again, I would also like to apologize on behalf of the team for having missed your request in the first place. But, your apology means a lot to us, it is not something that can be expected from most folks involved in crypto. No one here usually likes to admit mistakes, those who are willing to do so are few and far between. I am glad you see it as a mistake, we want to help in any way we can, but don't always see every post, especially in trying times such as we have been going through the past week or so.

I just want to emphasize for everyone the slack and skype contact methods. There are fewer people in slack, skype seems to be really active all of the time, but either one of those places will get you a quicker response more often than not. Links are in the OP, stop in and say hi.
