[GPL] Gold Pressed Latinum v3.0 New chain.

[markm]

All my machines are still running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, there are far too many of them for me to be in any rush to upgrade to Ubuntu 18.

I cannot compile the GUI version of your newfangled GPL2, it seems to be something to do maybe with paths that have "C:" imbedded in the path?

At least those lines are the only ones I can find in the Makefile that mention 1_59 or 1.59, and the error that breaks the compile in the end says

Code:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_system-mgw49-mt-s-1_59
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_filesystem-mgw49-mt-s-1_59
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_program_options-mgw49-mt-s-1_59
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread-mgw49-mt-s-1_59
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:559: recipe for target 'goldpressedlatinum-qt' failed
make: *** [goldpressedlatinum-qt] Error 1

Isn't mgw some kind of tool for cross-compiling FOR WINDOWS on linux machines? If so it looks like the Makefile somehow thinks I am trying to cross-compile for Windows, though I do not know what would give it that idea.

I tried qmake with and without RELEASE=1

I have not yet ever even attempted to compile a GUI for the old GPL, maybe if I tried I would find it has this same problem?

Diamond (DMD) coin has a GUI that compiles just fine, but, they use ./configure system so probably are able to figure out I am trying to compile on Linux for Linux not on Linux for Windows.

...

I have compiled GPL2 headless (no-GUI) no problem, and thanks to your foresight in assigning new port numbers I am having no problems so far setting it up right alongside the old version of GPL. I didn't check whether you also changed the default directory, I forced use of ~/.GPL2 in my GPL2start.sh script so I wouldn't have to check. But it occurs to me it could be useful for players to know whether in fact it does have a different default directory from the old versions.

Try  in file goldpressed-qt.pro

BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX=-mgw49-mt-s-1_59
BOOST_INCLUDE_PATH=C:/deps/boost_1_59_0
BOOST_LIB_PATH=C:/deps/boost_1_59_0/stage/lib
 
change path and version numbers to actual you have.

New default directory ../goldpressedlatinum2

Ahhh yes the .pro is what the qmake uses to create the Makefile. I guess in DMD the configure must mess with that.

Great, than ks. Not sure how much I need the GUI, so far only one I ever use is DMD, and only to make sure I get coin-control right when sending earnings so as not to mess up my Masternodes.

Sounds like GPL is pretty much automatic in dealing with piles for staking though so hopefully won't need it.

Since snapshot was taken way back in November coins should be old enough to stake already? Yet I am not seeing any balance in the staking field.

Example config file shows turning off reservebalance but nothing like "staking=1" or whatever to make it stake? SO shouldn't it be staking by now since it got my balances and caught up to blockchain last night?

[vampirus]

For staking just keep 2 or more connections. If you have big balance, split it like in Hyperstake tutorials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H4Xi3zr21g

If wallet encrypted, then unlock wallet for PoS.

Well there is STILL no sign of any staking happening.

Even if it is counting coin age only since the wallet obtained the private keys, instead of since the coins were actually sent to their addresses on the blockchain, some indication of staking should be happening by now shouldn't it?

[vampirus]

Check next:
reservebalance=0
connections 2 or more
wallet - unlocked

What tooltip do you see when pointer over staking icon?

I have had three connections all this time, I set reservebalance to zero way back, and have never locked the wallet.

There is no icon as I cannot compile the GUI, I am running the headless daemon.

...

However, I just stopped it, emptied debug.log and restarted it, and now all of a sudden it seems to be staking.

...

Didn't last long but at least it tried. Staked its biggest balance, showed an orphan in log, back to doing nothing. Maybe waiting for coins to age again.

[vampirus]

1. orphan transaction not reset age, just staking again.
2. I see your good staking on block 10012
3. wait 100 confirmation and split your coins or next time (in 7 days) you get only 2 staking.

If you not have GUI to split coins, just create new wallet (not address in old wallet)
and send to address from new wallet many transactions, every 500-1000 coins.
And do not forget backup new wallet.

[markm]

Won't splits happen automatically as staking happens?

Also do you happen to know a good CPU-miner for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Linux?

I have minerd but googling led to a thread on bitcointalk that claims no one has gotten scrypt-jane to work in that, and its -help readout does not even mention scrypt-jane as an option, just scrypt and scrypt-N.

I also have sgminer that I use to run little USB-stick SHA256 ASICs but it seems maybe to only do SHA256 just to offer tons of different hardware it can handle.

[vampirus]

Splitting automatically, but with big balance you get best block size after 6 month.

[markm]

I have left a cpu miner running a few weeks now supposedly mining the old GPL, but nothing is moving and neither the miner nor the debug.log of the coin show any sign of anything happening, nor does "top" show the miner using any CPU power.

The only CPU miner I could find that purported to be able to do scrypt-jane on Linux was cpuminer-opt, a supposedly optiminsed miner. But it actually seems to do nothing whatsoever.

With the old built in mining ability it never took weeks to find a blocks, so I figure I have given it long enough a try.

Does anyone know of anything that CAN mine the old GPL coin, without special equipment such as a GPU?

I lost my last GPU by trying to mine KED (Klingon EMpire Darsek) with it, and it took out the whole motherboard too.

So even if I actually had any more GPUs I would't want to risk them, and entire motherboards, especially when I know CPU mining used to work just fine back before the code to do it was stripped from the wallet.

EDIT: Went back to the problem with "fresh eyes" and got it working.

GPL added to voting list on exchange Altilly
Please register and vote (you need buy some ALTI coins for vote)

upd. coin listing was rejected, reasons:

No github activity. -
No community. -
No activity for years -

 

[vampirus]

I am sorry, but GPL was rejected by Altilly CEO only because of its name.
Gold Pressed Latinum on most info portal marked as dead coin.
Initially GPL2 pass all reviews and was approved, then CEO check it and say: "No activity for years"

As I said before, GPL must be rebranded or destroyed (swap to undistributed  premine SCIFI)

[HodlerCompany]

We didn't reject the coin because of the name.

Only the following is required for listing on our exchange;

- Team members with Linkedin profiles will meet a higher chance for approved listing
- Solid product with real use-case
- Recent github activity is required
- Website
- At least 1 social group (for example, Telegram, Discord or similar)
- BitcoinTalk Announcement
- The project is no longer in ICO phase
- Tokenomics: a proof that during the pre-ICO and ICO phases at least 80% of total circulating supply was sold/distributed to investors that didn't include project team or project advisors.


That's all we ask and I think it's really fair.
We don't look at the ICO funds, volume, value or anything else that other parties think it's important.

Send you application to listings@altilly.com and I will review the coin once again.

Git updated, telegram channel created, soon send request.

[SignMananic]

I'm going to promote you on social media. Any camp?

[vampirus]

Looks like GPL2 was rejected again.

Since KED and SciFi already are listed there, maybe there is a chance to get GPL on Nova?
https://novaexchange.com/coin_listing/

edit...
Of course a exchange would be nice, but i don't think it's urgent. GPL might become a nice gem when cryptos become mainstream and till then my GPL are staking nicely.

Nova take 1 BTC for listing and not allow USA users. Volumes very low.

By the way, FreiExchange also reject GPL2 in January.
"Unfortunately we have chosen to not list your coin. While we like your project and respect your efforts, with 8+ coin requests a day, FreiExchange is now trying to establish a certain branding for the exchange in vintage innovative coins or new socially conscious innovative projects. Further, for new coins, we like to see further advancement in the project to ensure its longevity prior to listing."

If you can pass the compatibility check, I would support your chain on the Blocknet dex:
