[SXC][NSFW] Sexcoin - New Android Client Release!

[ac0rnsoup]

Hah, yeah, I think that'd qualify as spam

I'm not a terribly good developer so I basically quit doing that over 10 years ago, but I know enough about relational databases that I can probably take care of the data cleanup. I still have to mess around with data every once in a while, set up mysql databases for people, etc. But I'd really have to see if first. Modern HTML/CSS I'd be completely lost.

I'd be more concerned about the code itself - what is it? IMHO if something was written from scratch, or if the core code of something was customized, that was a mistake. Let security be someone else's problem and just make sure you follow upstream and update ASAP. And practice good security habits on the server.

I'm certainly willing to have a go at this.

Almost forgot.

Nodes are ALWAYS appreciated.

Cool. That's the xenial box I did the compile without GUI on yesterday. Node is pretty much synced so it's almost ready to go. Do I just open the port and let p2p take its course or should I have something specific in my sexcoin.conf file?

Just in case anyone is actually wondering, I am actually reading along, just not much to reply to - would like to see the Wiki brought back.

I would open the port, def set up fail2ban. Nodes become an sshd attack magnet.

Code:

server=1
listen=1

rpcuser=blah
rpcpassword=blah
rpcallowfromip=127.0.0.1

addnode=dnsseed.sexcoin.info
addnode=dnsseed.lavajumper.com

check the peerinfo after about 6 hours to make sure its getting picked up.

peer count:

Code:

./sexcoin-cli getpeerinfo |grep subver| wc -l

You can disable the wallet; if you do run the wallet DO NOT PUT COINS THERE.

LOL I solo mined a block tonight, 12.5 SXC woohoo ;-) Won the lottery. Too bad it wasn't BTC...

20 confirmations so far, waiting on 70 more, hopefully this means it is a REAL block, and won't get hung up.

I'm about to put Xenial onto an old Lenovo to see if I can get the GUI working. I thought it would be nice to have a place to post said instructions.

We have a place for instructions. There's stickie posts for these things on sexcoinforum.com.

As a matter of fact, you could start here: https://sexcoinforum.com/index.php?topic=70.msg891#msg891  *note the responses

Good news. The Xenial instructions will be very simple, assuming we trust a PPA for db4.8. I've actually used that PPA in the past to install bitcoin core. It's kind of funny how all the bitcoin related PPAs say you shouldn't trust them.

Once I installed that along with all the other dependencies, I just did
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-pic

and it compiled fine with built in gcc 5.4. There were plenty of warnings, but it compiled and is syncing now. Used qt4 although I'm curious if qt5 will work.

What do you think of using the PPA? I'm thinking keep it as simple as possible as not every linux user has experience compiling lots of stuff. Anyone who is paranoid enough and knows how to compile can follow the raw documentation in the docs directory and compile their own version of db4.8.

Time for bed. Tomorrow, I attempt to take apart these two ancient Lenovo laptops I got off ebay and try to flash libreboot on them with a beaglebone black. After that, maybe I'll attempt a Dockerfile for running a node, unless one exists already. I watched multiple docker training courses recently and haven't gotten a chance to apply that knowledge yet. Oh, and finishing that public node is easy enough, I should at least get to that soon.

That's great news. I was getting those errors on QT5. I've chased down the reason and its pretty sticky. If QT4 builds with no problems we are in good shape.

PPA's are my friend.

Update: ... SOON^TM...

The new client is ready to go. Here are some things we've been waiting on:

• A last minute issue cropped up with building on Linux 16.04. This has probably been worked out
• There are a couple of large pools that have not adapted yet. We really wanted them on board before we released to users
• I've had a report that sync time on the Mac client is off the chain. I think this has been worked out.
• People using the Age Verification feature before mining support was in place still concerns me, but we may just have to deal with it
• The issue with Livecoin and Cryptopia caused us pause. This looks like it has been worked out.

I'm working on the final documentation for the release. Its basically a collection of all the UPDATE posts that have trickled in over the last few weeks. When that is done we will release.

I want to thank everyone, both old timers and new blood, for all the support you have shown. Sexcoin has been more than just a project for many of us and your patience and interest are valuable assets to a coin that has been working hard to create its place in the economy.

THANK YOU!

Update:

There was an error in the recent bootstrap file we released which caused clients to jump to network downloading prematurely.

The corrected bootstrap file is available for anyone wanting to download it in preparation for the release:

https://github.com/sexcoin-project/sexcoin-bootstrap

The bootstrap file is ONLY BLOCK DATA. We haven't officially released the new client.
It is available so you can download it in preparation for the new client.

From the README: https://github.com/sexcoin-project/sexcoin-bootstrap

• Download bootstrap.dat.gz OR bootstrap.dat.zip from github or mirrors.
• Verify the integrity of the compressed bootstrap.dat file with the checksums.
• Decompress to obtain bootstrap.dat.
• Put it into the Sexcoin datadir. This is the same folder that contains wallet.dat and the blocks folder.
• Delete bootstrap.dat.old when syncing is finished if you wish to recover some storage space.

If you are starting a brand new client, you may need to:

• run the installer
• start the client just long enough so that it builds the directory structure
• shut it down
• copy the bootstrap.dat file into the data directory
• then start it back up

good work on sorting hte problems out lava, we all appreciate your hard work

Oh cool, I thought I was doing something wrong. I got nada done yesterday. At least my node is up and running. Still seeing mostly 0.6.4 peers though Since I have been using Tor or VPNs to log into server, I decided to hold off on fail2ban for now, will check the logs in a few days to see how often the dictionary attacks are occurring. I usually use DenyHosts anyway, it's just what I learned first. For now, I turned off SSH password auth and disabled root login. Don't get me wrong, this account isn't anonymous enough to be government-proof, but I'm trying to improve my opsec nonetheless. I still need to set up monit or run sexcoind under supervise, but I'm assuming the software is stable enough that it can wait until my next TV show binge (I usually do light work while I'm binging)

Off topic note for people: If you sign up at vk.com (to follow the sexcoin pic group there), make sure to use your pseudonym from the get-go. They seem to be stricter than facebook in some ways. I signed up with my real name just to poke around, since it needed my real phone number anyway, went to change it and it requires moderator intervention since they want real names. No way they were going to accept Ac0rn Soup. I deleted account but they don't actually delete it for six months and since cell phone is primary log in I couldn't sign up again. Tried my google voice number, numbers from burner app, wouldn't take any of those numbers. Looks like I'll need to buy a prepaid cell if I want to sign up there with my pseudonym.

#Sexcoin
Welcome https://vk.com/sexcoin_ru 

[lavajumper]

I've had a number of general inqueries about what some of the more esoteric features we are getting as a result of going to V.0.10.4.0.

Most of this information is valid for Sexcoin:

https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.10.0


The most notable exception is the faster blockchain download. Bootstrap will still give an advantage for Sexcoin because:

• Network traffic during blockchain download taxes our existing nodes.
• Network traffic during blockchain download can put an unwanted strain on people with metered internet connections( 700M bootstrap compared to 1.6 Gig blockchain)
• 'parallel' downloading of blocks isn't really valid because of Sexcoin network's size, which is orders of magnitude lower than bitcoin and litecoin
• Because Sexcoin retargets every block, compared to bitcoin's and litecoin's weeks of blocks, Sexcoin validates difficulty on each block, this causes Sexcoin to periodically 'starve' during network downloads
• Most existing nodes are holding a record of orphan chains all the way back from when sexcoin was first released. See above.

Sexcoin does use the 'header first' method, so when sexcoin's network is more robust network downloading will be faster than bootstrapping. We need 100's of nodes for this to be effective.

Guys I am traveling at the moment and not responding to the direct messages fast enough but her it is

I would love to have he site promoted on the Sexcoin Maine website I will get a banner made. Or if you could use the main page picture we could use that for now until I get something made.

The same goes for free sxc website. I will give you a nice 40% coupon for one item from the store for having my banner on your site. Thanks!

And I will get a spot on bitcoingarden when I get back to my place.

Thank you guys for all your support. We had our first purchase and lots of visitors. Let's keep this going this way.

Once I am no longer a newbie I would be able to promote Sexcoin and the site with pictures of the products here.
