Feathercoin [FTC]

[xchrix]

i have added feathercoin charts to my charting website
http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/period-charts.php?period=2-days&resolution=hour&pair=ftc-ltc&market=cryptonit

but i switched the name from LTC/FTC to FTC/LTC .. i think this way it is right. cryptonit got it wrong
its the same as LTC/BTC ... the name of the coin with less value is in front to geht the exchange price right.

Latest git pull of feathercoind does not compile:

Code:

obj/checkpoints.o: file not recognized: File truncated
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [feathercoind] Error 1

-MarkM-

Okay. I've just grabbed from GitHub and everything compiles fine on Debain.

If you let me know your exact distro I will try to recreate the problem?

This has been tested on Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Win and Mac.

Could you delete your Feathercoin folder and pull fresh from GitHub and try again?

Okay, I cloned https://github.com/FeatherCoin/FeatherCoin.git

Copied makefile.unix to makefile.fedora17

Added -I../../deps/include to the DEFS and -L../../deps/lib to the LIBS += line so it uses my custom openssl that includes the elliptic curves that Fedora leaves out of their distributed openssl. Added BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX = -mt where the comment indicates.

That is all standard stuff I have to do for every *coin.

Then did

make USE_UPNP= -f makefile.fedora17

It does not get far before producing that error.

Are you maybe not compiling it without UPNP?

On *nix I also disable UPNP. Can you try compiling with just the default packages?

Then again I'd doing the same as you on CentOS with OpenSSL. I also compile the latest boost on that distro too. I use export before running make, so export OPENSSL_INCLUDE_PATH=/path/to/ssl and OPENSSL_LIB_PATH=/path/to/ssl, plus the two exports for the Boost libs. I've got a long list of things to work on today but I will find the time to test FTC on Fedora 17 and get back to you.

I noticed that the make blurbs going by had ABSOLUTE PATHS in them, for some reason they embedded /usr/src/bitcoin/feathercoin-git into all the paths for all their -L and -I stuff.

So, I changed the ../../deps that has always worked with all other coins, including feathercoin itself up until this recent pull, with an absolute path coded into the makefile (a very bad idea as it means other people who try to use makefile.fedora17 will find it does not work unless they place their git clone in the exact same place in the total filesystem as I did) and suddenly it worked.

This is BAD, I think your shell script that makes the build.h header file has been hacked and thereby fucked up, so that suddenly it is putting absolute paths; at least that is the first mechanism that comes to mind for how you manage to go find out where on my filesystem I have chosen to place the git clone and embed that information into the make process, which, did I mention IS BAD.

Please fix this broken behaviour, it is (did I mention?) BAD.

It should be possible for people to put their bitcoin, or altcoins, or cryptocoins, or whatever THEY choose to call it directory anywhere, even in their own home-directrory, put their custom openssl into deps (dependencies) where all the many many many (and growing number) of coins can find it, and go ahead and use existing makefile.fedora15, makefile.fedora16, makefile.fedora17 or whatever according to their version of Fedora. Absolute paths for where the git is cloned into is bad idea.

Off Topic.. my Feathercoin pool now has stratum support!  fhc.ub3rl33t.com
stratum+tcp://ftc.ub3rl33t.com:3334

I'm psyched, because it took me long enough to figure out how to implement it.

[MarKusRomanus]

I just noticed FTC is now on http://www.cryptocoincharts.info

i thought it would be a good idea to be an "early bird" for charting and maybe the price gets a little pump from it!
if anybody wants to donate a feathercoin or maybe two: 6gtyYCpM8MKRS818xEo7rDpKWQW1m67mML thank you!!
lets make this coin the next successful and alive altcoin..

[RetardedMonkey]

Can you remove that Dig pool from the list of pools?

I was mining there all day then found out the payouts aren't working... sounds like a total scam.

[e521]

any other exchange is working of ftc?
cryptonit seems good but it's very very slow

unfortunately i dont know of any other. i saw somebody asked a lot of other exchanges if the want to add here in the forum...

[e521]

I really respect cryptonit.net for jumping on board and provide with a platform to trade.
unfortunately it seems an university project, not sure I want to keep my money there that long

i dont know why people dont like that place, only for FRC thing it was not the best way to do but for other trade or take out my coin i dont have trouble with the site. if you want i can trade them for you on the side.

Same. Everything works 100% fine and smooth. Had 1 downtime for 2 minutes in the last 20 hours.

I've only had successful exchanges there, but the site is still annoying with glitches. The chatbox bounces around (not that important) and a lot of the time I'll click my account and get a blank screen and have to refresh a few times to get it to show up and things like that. When I withdrawl and put in my auth code, it gives me a white screen but then still processes the order. The balance of coins isn't automatically updated sometimes, you have to click "details" and "update" to force it to poll the account balance.

Bottom line from me: It's buggy and frustrating sometimes but it hasn't eaten my coins.

[psybits]

Cryptonit are actively working on the bugs, and they do help if you have a problem. A+++ for getting an FC exchange out there, and being a stand up operation I say.

[MarKusRomanus]

Everyone..change your FC in your signatures to FTC.

[bitdwarf]

Done. :3

[MarKusRomanus]

I'm really hoping for a web service or something along those lines for a live feed of trading on FTC.  What about cryptonit?
I can't find anything on their site to suggest this kind of feed is available.

dont know exactly what you mean with "live feed of trading" you mean something like bitcoinity?
