Report on compiling and installing wallet ver. 1.4.4

OS: Mint 18.1
Compiler: FCP 3.0.2 and Lazarus 1.6.4

Compiled without any change of project options and installed in existing directory /home/xxx/pascallite with existing data from wallet 1.4.2.

1. Attempt

When run it twice showed:

Access violation.

Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption.
Press Cancel to kill the program.

and died   When restarted it again warned about attempt but connected to the servers and run.

2. Attempt

When run in the same directory but with all data deleted it once warned about attempt but then run as it should with no more problems

Just to make sure. I can't repeat this error. It could be a problem specially when it run first time with existing data files from an earlier version.But it could also just be an error in my blockchain.  Aside from that the program seems to be rock solid

Next time I find something I'll report it at Github.

By the way under Linux the Text at the top of the GUI needs more space. Specially "Blocks Found" and "Build" should move to the right.

Same for Windowze, but since this is only a cosmetic bug I can live with it.

@adaseb, will we be listed as PASL on Cryptopia?  I noticed some of the thread pages have PASC2 on them.

When I submitted the application I put PASL as our ticker.

Is PASL being added today?

Yes. The Cryptopia dev contacted me and I've sent them over an account they can use for the deposits. The Crytopia deposit address will be "5-70".

DO NOT send your money to account 5-70 yet

You will need to send it with a specific payload so Cryptopia knows it is your deposit and can credit your account.

This is a warning to all the new people following this topic

I'm new to crypto currency. I expected that it all was bases on p2p. But I can't see much p2p in connection with the mining. Only some few pools make all the coins.

The first versions of PascalCoin had a build in CPU miner so all the running wallets was mining. It was actually p2p. I really wonder why this feature first was disabled and later removed completely. I don't know if Pascal Lite ever had this miner

I think it would be much better to let the common users do the mining and to keep the pools out. That's of course just my opinion. But I really don't like that a lot of money and electricity is wasted  on pool mining. Could we somehow change the Proof of Work to something more equal and lesser wastefull?

Pascal coin had miners because no pools would take it. it was only after poloniex add pools got involved. decentalization people can do what they want, look at nanopool it's taken over majority of hashrate on some coins nothing can be done, it's their choice

survival of the fittest and nanopool and plenty of muscle just hope they don't point hash here. would be great if ocminer opened a pool for us.

Cpu mining is usually only a viable option at the very beginning of a coin . Gpuminers will be build and they are often dozens of times more powerful than cpumining. Gpu miners weren´t probably programmed/ready in the beginning of Pascalcoin but they were when PascalLite was launched, naturally.

The advantage of pools is that it reduces ones variance. If you were to mine with just one gpu for example a coin with a high global hashrate, you´d have to be very lucky to find a block and to make any coins at all. Lets say that with one gpu you´d find 1 block/week on average. It would be very possible for you to mine for a couple of months without getting rewarded at all as you might not find a block. When you mine with a pool you get some coins all the time as the pools high hashrate finds blocks a plenty and the rewards are shared among the miners.

If you want to earn coins without spending alot of electricity you might be interested in looking into staking, where you stake coins to make more coins. Ethereum is moving to proof-of-stake for example...

Great to check Cryptopia soon by the way!

Now that you mentioned it. staking is not bad. it can build value for accounts as youl need one to stake. not bad mate

[lockepi]

Great work dev this is the beginning. hope to see PASCLA market soon along side new features.i think you should consider staking feature.

Will sending coins with encrypted payload be an issue? Many will have this mistake. Me included. Thanks.

They might not support encrypted payloads. Xiphon is working on a fix for this. For now just make sure you click "Don't encrypt (Public payload)"

Here is a tutorial on making deposits

https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Forum/Thread/1016

Just make sure you use "5-70" account #.

how much time till it gets coins confirmed at cryptopedia side?

They require 20 confirms

Do not encrypt the payloadID!

https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Forum/Thread/1016

I sent my coins with an encrypted payloadID, as it is the default option in the client. Cryptopia should really warn about this in the deposit box and not just some forum thread.  

Created a support ticket, let's see if they can help. They banned me from the chat after I respectfully complained there.

[MrJaekin]

Cryptopia... Down for maintenance... really?  LOL!!!  30 min?

I quote myself

not my fault that you don't warn of this shit in the deposit box

Anyways, as long as this gets resolved I won't complain.

I understand that the chat is not for support, but it's a new coin and many users might lose their coins because they are unfamiliar with it, the exchange, the deposit process and because there are no clear warnings before depositing.

Adding "IMPORTANT: Do not encrypt PayloadID" should help avoid such issues.
