[ANN] FedoraCoin (TiPS) - New Dev team: Fedoracoin Foundation

[supoplex]

can somebody please make a short description of how to compile the Linux wallet and what packages are needed?

Here is short version, but this is only for command line. Still figuring out how to complile with gui, having some QT errors, here is https://kaip-padaryti.blogspot.lt/2017/09/how-to-compile-fedoracointips-source.html investigation.

Code:

Dependencies
$ sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler -y

Other dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install autoconf libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libqt4-dev libqrencode-dev libtool -y

$ cd
$ git clone https://github.com/fedoracoin-dev/fedoracoin
$ cd fedoracoin/
$ TIPS_ROOT=$(pwd) 
$ BDB_PREFIX="${TIPS_ROOT}/db4"
$ mkdir -p $BDB_PREFIX
$ wget 'http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz'
$ tar -xzvf db-4.8.30.NC.tar
$ ./autogen.sh$ ./configure LDFLAGS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib/" CPPFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include/" -without-gui --without-miniupnpc --disable-tests
$ make

Compile fedoracoin without GUI:
$ cd $TIPS_ROOT
$ ./autogen.sh$ ./configure LDFLAGS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib/" CPPFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include/" -without-gui --without-miniupnpc --disable-tests
$ make -s -j5

Hope it helps

Any chance you have this for mac?

[testbug]

Update on the website progress:
We have rented a domain and webserver. The blockexplorer is as far as i know synced and i will be working on getting all the required informations to the website.
We will upload the wallet to the webserver and we might also be adding a blockchain download/bootstrap so new people can sync the blockchain much faster.

After the website is finished i will rework the ANN, changeing all the informations needed.

Does anybody know about active pools? I am hosting pools myself and i would like to also host a pool for TIPS for helping to stabilize the network. The pools wallet will then serve as a permanent node, like the blockexplorer.

As far as i know, TIPS is currently only tradeable on novaexchange, as bter is still refuseing to switch to the new, correct and working blockchain. As soon as the above steps are finished, i will get in contact with bter and ask them, if there would be the possibility to switch over to the correct chain.

If you have any questions, feel free to message me here.

Need help  compiling fedoracoin with linux

This is most recent version, is that correct?
https://github.com/fedoracoin-dev/fedoracoin

Yes, that's the correct repo.
Can you be a bit more specific what your problem is?

When compiling I'm getting this error:

Code:

shiftdialog.cpp:28:23: fatal error: QJsonObject: No such file or directory

So far what I have installed:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libqt4-dev libqrencode-dev libtool 
$ sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler 
$ sudo apt-get install autoconf autogen

Also compiled Berkley DB 4.8

OS: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

Please check if you have qtbase5-dev installed.

Let me check

Code:

$ dpkg -l qtbase5-dev
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description
+++-==============-============-============-=================================
ii  qtbase5-dev:am 5.5.1+dfsg-1 amd64        Qt 5 base development files

Yes, it's installed.

I've tested this on an Ubuntu 16.04 VPS and it failed for me with the very same error.
It seems, as far as I could find from other sources like the Feathercoin forum, that boost-1.58 is the problem that keeps the build from completing.

I then tried to build and use boost-1.59 to build fedora-wallet but unfortunately that didn't work any better.

Out of ideas right now..

There is also a new issue on the Feathercoin github: https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/issues/223
I recommend watching that as any possible solution offered should be applicable to Fedoracoin as well.

No sorry, but there is some info, on fedoracoin github page:

Update on the website progress:
Does anybody know about active pools? I am hosting pools myself and i would like to also host a pool for TIPS for helping to stabilize the network.

I checked the pool list in the OP (did not mine there but check if they still have TIPS available):
OK: fedora.poolto.be         
OK: SmarterHash
Multipool.us
OK: hash-to-coins.com
mineblocks.eu
NEW: zpool.ca
NEW: testbugs TIPS pool

As far as i know, TIPS is currently only tradeable on novaexchange, as bter is still refuseing to switch to the new, correct and working blockchain. As soon as the above steps are finished, i will get in contact with bter and ask them, if there would be the possibility to switch over to the correct chain.

TIPS is currently traded on Novaexchange and Coinexchange.

I don't see Bter ever moving to the new chain, that train has probably left the station long ago. They would loose too much of coins that were mined between the fork and when their chain halted. Actually I do not think they are interested to fix their wallet at all, TIPS gets traded there and can't be withdrawn - nothing wrong for Bter with that..

[psycodad]

Oh btw: Upon popular request (read: one person asked for it) I have brought the IRC-TIPS-tipbot back online.

Drop by the #fedoracoin channel on freenode.net and get a healthy rain shower of TIPS.

P.S.: I also restored the old database, everybody having a balance on the old tipbot should see it still.

[kurbeks]

H2C is main pool. Controlling anything from 80-100% of hashrate. Usually there are about 2GHash/s on TIPS network from H2C. Good pool works stable

[$dakini]

We should remove TIPS from bter, other wise people will buy TIPS from them and will end up with bag holding the wrong coin.

Also Coinexchange.io, I have deposited and withdrawn successfully from them.   I don't think you will get much cooperation out of Bter, they are mostly a scam these days and even if they switched, I would never trade there. But, it's worth it to kill off the old chain completely I suppose...

Great work!
It's trading coinexchange.io also
The explorer looks great and is synced.
Do you know how the reddit tipbot works?  I'd like to get that working too!
Would be a great feature to add an auto-bootstrap downloader to the wallet, vericoin does it and it makes it easy for newbies.
I can help test, or beta anything, just PM me.

Unfortunately nobody can force BTer to stop doing what they are doing. But I agree with R-J-F that the reputation of BTer is borked so much meanwhile that nobody should be trusting them with their money anyways.

@testbug: Maybe you can add a fat, bold, red, blinking warning to the OP to not buy from or deposit to BTer?

I will add one to reddit thread right nav.

Are there any plans of rebranding FedoraCoin?

I think that it would gain much more attention if it's name would be connected to 'tip' word.
Like 'Tipper','Tippit','Tipsy' or something similar.

Or it is to much work at this point?

We can't command bter to remove tips, all we can do is to let community know that bter's tips is a dead chain especially the chinese community, as i assume alot of trader in bter are chinese.

if no trader left than bter have to forced to close pair OR their member force bter to move to new chain

Fedoracoins was re-branded to TIPS.

mineblocks.eu
NEW: zpool.ca
NEW: testbugs TIPS pool

fedora.poolto.be is live but without hash, i used to be join here few years ago, right now 1-2 member come and go
SmarterHash seem to be dead for me
hash-to-coins.com is multipool, seem allow some hash to point to tips as long as its profitable
zpool.ca also like hash-to-coins

You can also use ProHashing.com and select payout in TIPs.
I think you don't mine fedora, but it auto converts your payout to TIPs.

H2C allows to mine any coin on pool even if it''s unprofitable. You can manually select which coin you mine, or you can just mine most profitable coin.

Fedoracoins was re-branded to TIPS.

FedoraCoin was not re-branded to TIPS. TIPS is the international currency symbol for FedoraCoin just like BTC is the symbol for Bitcoin and ETH For Ether and so on. Each coin has one.
