[ANN] 42-coin Development Discussion Thread

[Lasergun]

Hello everyone! If anyone wants their own vanity address, i will provide here a guide how to do so.
Since im not a programmer, i will not even try to add a flag to the code seperately so you will pretty much need to use the whole line i provided.
I only did this guide for windows, because im sure many GNU/Linux users will know how to use the vanitygen and compile.

First download the executable from HERE
Then extract the folder somewhere on your computer.

After that, edit the bat file and will look like this:

Code:

vanitygen.exe -X 8 4add
pause

Do not change the anything apart from the "add" part of the file, other ones are important parts.
If you example want to generate addy starting like "4aoo" change the file to following:

Code:

vanitygen.exe -X 8 4aoo
pause

Then just save the file, and run the bat file.

you should get something like this as output

Code:

Difficulty: 78508
Pattern: 4aoo                                                                  
Address: 4aooMUfwdJCXbN8RcoTTbBhsitkfhpR9oJ
Privkey: 5azcRvceSKdB7dFtdZAaeFhLpsfgDkYNf3RLQzzUXzHuR6XFtoF

Then just copy the private key that you created, and go to your 42-qt -> help -> debug window -> console
then write the following line with your private key

Code:

importprivkey yourprivkeyhere

I hope many of you will find this information valuable

Edit: you cannot use the following characters in the pattern: 0 (zero), O (capital o), I (capital i) and l (lower case L) as well as the non-alphanumeric characters + (plus) and / (slash)

Generated by vanitygen addresses use uncompressed keys which increases the size of transactions and can lead to the higher tx fees.
You can generate a compressed key by using this modified version: https://github.com/exploitagency/vanitygen-plus/releases (with GPU support).
 
On CPU:

Code:

vanitygen.exe -F compressed -X 8 4add
pause

On GPU (OpenCL):

Code:

oclvanitygen.exe -F compressed -X 8 4add
pause

I transfered yersteday  42 to Cryptopia and still not credited in my account.

Why should there be 200 confirmations to complete the transfer?? I have already 70! confirmations..What's wrong here?

Livecoin.net requires only 8 confirmations for deposits.

Voted!
had my birthday on the 17th of this month, and holding steady as a node for 42coin.
Had one glitch this month though when there was a power outage do to a faulty plug socket do to bad old wiring in my house.

I use a a HP server and a Laptop (for backup) for the 42-coin node..  trying to convince my neighbor (maybe i should clean their yard up)  to used as a backup internet connection.. im on Frontier and they are on Charter..  A good reliable server is ain't good when internet is down..  As a miner, I'm at 45% of extractions and keeping it under 51% is a good rule..   one of my gridseeds have enter the gates of mining heaven but it lowered my extraction score to an acceptable level..  cryptopia hit the 42-coin crowd with a 200 transactions verification mandate because some miners are hitting over 51% of the network..   Can the real slim shady please stand up, please stand up..  and tune your equipment to a reasonable 42% percent of the hash power..!!!

The main targets are: 1) advertise 42 to other users; 2) increase the number of active nodes; 3) enlarge the list of exchanges (is an important factor if you want to add a coin to such exchanges as Bittrex or Poloniex).

What is the general purpose of 42 ?

yeah right before big exchange will accept the application they needed to assess if the coin can survive inside a big venue so allowing the coin to attract more investors from small exchange will give a much better chance to be accepted as well with trex or polo just keep it up dev.

42 is a rare and deflationary coin, which makes it attractive to collectors and those seeking for a safe haven in the world of crypto-investments.

You need to update your wallet to the latest version ("v0.0.8").

how to mining? in addition to the prohashing

All 42 coins are already mined, current block reward is zero. If you want to get the reward you can mine only on multipool prohashing.com.
If you want to support the network, you should mine in solo.

also, solo-mining reward zero, right?
because, I found 2 or 3 blocks, but coin didn't increase.

Solo mining reward is zero + tx fee (if any).
On prohashing.com your reward is depending on your hashrate and the current 42 price.
