[ANN][XCN] Cryptonite - NEW Thread | 1st mini-blockchain coin | Bounties!

Hi Pallas,
rpcwallet.cpp

Code:

if (params.size() > 4 && params[4].type() != null_type && !params[4].get_str().empty()){
string msg = [b]params[2].get_str();[/b]
        wtx.msg = vector<char>(msg.begin(),msg.end());
    }

here all right?

Doesn't look right, and there is another one like that a few lines down. Likely a few chars fix. Tomorrow I will create a new branch.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

it's not much harm to the work, probably just a copy-paste

Yes, typical copy-paste error ;-)
will fix asap.

bisq v0.6.0 has just been released and now supports XCN:
https://forum.bisq.io/t/new-version-0-6-0-released/3446

It's the first true decentralized P2P exchange. I like it a lot, especially because you keep full control over your coins (always stay in your own wallet).
I think this will be a great way for us to trade FIAT -> BTC -> XCN and back.

And it supports some new TOR features to now make it work in China -> our favorite market

here it is:

https://github.com/pallas1/Cryptonite/commit/ac5fc1a5fe82856aba2445519fb21d70f97ec492

a couple little fixes to the send tx rpc calls.

thanks!

Updated OP and tweeted. Thanks for your support!

Now lets make some volume and support the decentralised exchange approach. I'm sure you all realize how important it is, and bisq implementation is the best IMHO!

EDIT: Chinese users reading this, please spread the word about cryptonite and bisq thru your local channels!

I came here from the "Scalability" page on the Bitcoin wiki. If this coin works as it's described, then this is the most awesome find in the altcoin world since I discovered Slimcoin . Cryptonite predates Ardor by more than 3 years (Ardor hasn't even launched) and seems to have a very, very similar scalability "solution".

I'm however a bit surprised to see that the price went so low. It's good for me, so I can buy some ... but did something like an attack/unintended fork happen or are these just the normal speculative waves?

Hi and thanks for joining us.
The current price is, basicly, the result of our main market (chinese exchanges) being almost lost because of regulations by their government.
We are trying to fix this in many ways, but it's taking a lot of time because today most good exchanges want a lot of money for listing. We had pending listing requests on many exchanges like bittrex and poloniex (which was active last year but then dropped us).
Currently we are on novaexchange that (unfortunately) is apparently closing doors in some months.
Good news is that, since today, XCN can be traded on the new version of the bisq P2P exchange network.
Another good news (but not yet totally accomplished) is that we are listed on the international version of our former (chinese) best exchange (btc38.com): aex.com.
Trading is open but the wallet, just like that of many other coins there, is still closed (for both deposits and withdrawals).
Their support is stating that their are going thru a server upgrade and they will open the wallets later.

Thanks for your fast answer, pallas!

So technically Cryptonite is working well, I assume. In this case, I'll try it out these days, I'm eager to see the "mini-blockchain" working ...
Exchange delistings are temporary problems, so if the coin's "basic concept/USP" is solid, that doesn't matter for me, "its time will come".

The other small altcoin I support, Slimcoin, is actually in a very similar situation (only trading on Novaexchange, but it's closing ...) and it's still alive and kickin'.

I'm not saying we didn't have any trouble thru our history, but we are still alive as you can see, after almost 4 years ;-)
The coin is still fast and its innovative concepts working as expected.
It is a coin worth keeping alive for its technology and for historical reasons, but I can tell you we had huge trading volume at times, so no reason it can't be used as a currency.
Not only a tech exercise, then :-)
We have plans for it...

Why do talking constantly to obtain the wallet to find subsequent prevent, this is actually the 3rd day and also the pocket book is not ready, this is one of the cause I get free from Antshares project at first since it is really frustrating to use their wallet and now almost thesame issue

Sorry I couldn't get what you mean. Could you please explain again? What is frustrating you?

Looks like ai generated text... Maybe a translator?

It's just another bot account to get airdrops

wtf, I had no idea that's a thing now ...

Here sometimes they write about problems with the wallet.
Do they really exist?
I bought coins several times on Nova, they came in successfully and very quickly

Once we had sync issues, but now I believe it is pretty stable. If someone is still having problems, please post the details.

Trying to install the Linux wallet. Unfortunately, I run into a compilation error.

Code:

In file included from chainparams.h:9:0,
                 from protocol.h:13,
                 from addrman.h:9,

bignum.h:61:21: error: ‘BN_init’ was not declared in this scope
         BN_init(this);

(and it continues a lot more ...)

I googled the error message and the issue seems to be well-known with various cryptocurrency wallets - it is an incompatibility with OpenSSL 1.1+ (see here, for example, for Steem). I also found a Cryptonite pastebin with the same error.

It has already been fixed in Bitcoin, the Steem folks say it's this commit: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/b58be132c994b6f9b25cb4a702186ef96104953f

The only workaround I found would be to downgrade to OpenSSL 1.0  - does somebody know another solution?

Thanks, I will try to incorporate that patch into cryptonite, it should be a no brainer.
