Wlii spin up a few extra linux boxes to help support the network. Any programmers here or is it only me?

I'm program.  I am pretty deep into hardening the client against strip-mining.  I occasionally have questions on data structures, type changes, and the like.

I have some scripts that build a VM on an Ubuntu box, apt-get the necessary support stuff, and build the client.  It is not completely turn-key, but that is the goal.  Each new VM is a clone of the others, so I can do clean builds, and simply erase a VM for cleanup.  Of course, there are little bugs that I don't know about, because I wrote the thing and I have work habits that don't expose them to me.

git@github.com:a-mcintosh/Trusty-preseed.git


A test of that VM would be for you to clone and build ahmed's repository.  My diffs are against his work.

git@github.com:ahmedbodi/bytecoin.git


One thing on my wish list is to do the apt-gets in the VM build process so that I can also make the Windows .EXE.

One of my efforts has the SHA-256 of the binary be signed by the builders Bytecoin address and then scp'd back to me.  This is probably in disrepair, because I don't do regression testing each day.  It may also not be in the github, because I have not released much while I am testing.

It might make sense to join #altcoin-dev on freenode.

May I add this to the DNS lookup for seed.bte.vima.austin.tx.us?

Yes no problem.

Also, I build a faucet that gives out 0.001. Can anyone test if it works?

Prof, I lost connection to your node. Tried manual connect but not luck.

My client has connection to your node, but I can't connec to your faucet link.

I am making cost containment changes to my internet situation. 
The good news is that I got 3x the bandwidth for a reduction of $30 / month.
More good news is that I bought a new router, an Archer C7, and flashed it with OpenWRT.

The bad news is that nothing goes smoothly.  Please stand by.

I made a dns entry, faucet.bte.vima.austin.tx.us = 34.233.28.56

It looks like several people have tried the faucet.  Let me offer a suggestion.  Edit your post above and put a dedicated address into it.  Then if someone is careless, no coins are destroyed.

58,464 is the next difficulty adjustment correct?

check here for current block: http://34.233.28.56:3000/ (58,182)

That's only 282 blocks away before adjustment.

Go Miners!

[movellan]

Are you mining?

This week, I bought a cable modem and a separate router.  I flashed OpenWRT onto the router, and spent some time getting a satisfactory initial configuration.

Today, I temporarily switched my upstream from a static IPv4 address to a DHCP IPv4 address, which will change from time to time.  My DNS provider does support dynamic IP, so eventually this should work ok.  I am still paying for the static IPv4 service, so I can back down if it is unworkable.

Today, and for a while, I am test deploying the DHCP IPv4 configuration.  In the moment, the DNS entry for seed.bte.vima.austin.tx.us is updated to the correct value.  I made an outgoing connection,
and now I have several incoming connections.  I think things are workable, at least until my provider assigns me a new DHCP address.

This is all to save $12 / month cable router rental fee.  I probably spent 40 hours on minutia.  I don't think this was a fiscally sound move, but I am satisfied.

CPU mining if that counts.

[movellan]

Any mining counts with BTE. Found any blocks yet? Must be hard on the CPU.

[bluecoin_devops]

Must be hard on the CPU.

You mean hard to find coins or hard on the CPU in terms of overheating or something?

[movellan]

Meaning a load on the CPU. My machine has an i7 but I don't use it for mining as things slow down too much.

yes the one which might be turning into PPS bte.crypto-expert.com (if we go ahead with the move to PPS it will be reallocated to pool.bytecoin.biz  everyone will have 1 weeks notice and any unclaimed funds will be moved over to the new pool with their account (passwords will be invalidated then so will need to be reset)

Pardon my density, but what are you talking about? TIA.

[movellan]

You are probably correct, but the REAL Bytecoin (BTE) started in April, 2013. As the Prof said earlier, can anyone present verifiable proof that the fake bytecoin existed before that?
