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

[pallas]

I downloaded the mining program, but it doesn't do anything. There's no instructions and it just flashes up a command window that disappears just as quick!

I also tried messaging the "Contact Us" on the website, but seems it either doesn't work, or I'm just being ignored

I own a lot of XCN, I'd like to mine too, but everything feels like pulling teeth at the moment!

Please use this thread or slack for support.
If you make a bat file with "pause" command at the end, you can see the error message which is printed before the window closes.

The error is saying it expects a URL....

Is there not normally a batch file supplied with a miner with all the required parameters?
There's nothing in the zip file I downloaded....

Standard ccminer parameters:

-a m7
-o [stratum url]
-u [username]
-p [password]

Sorry, I've worked in IT for 30 years, but I've never mined coins before. That means nothing to me....

make a bat file containing:

ccminer -a m7 -o [stratum url you get from the pool] -u [your username on that pool] -p [your password]

pause

Thanks for your contribution!
Yes please, make a fork so I can have a look at the changes and help fixing the remaining issue.

Here it is: https://github.com/d5000/Cryptonite

The patches I used (in part, I had to modify them):

From Bitcoin:

Move base58.h implementation code to base58.cpp
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/010e66188e24b80f9c5d2e9ab3645792cab07f20

Replace DecodeBase58/EncodeBase58 with direct implementation.
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/b58be132c994b6f9b25cb4a702186ef96104953f#diff-25d902c24283ab8cfbac54dfa101ad31

Reduce bignum.h now it is only needed for scriptnum_tests
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/ccc84e0963dab2ee6276ccc9766c2c19b0ebb3e3#diff-a14526df59967a9cc4103d78f3f40dd8

From Peercoin (partly for key.h/key.cpp/crypter.cpp):

Fix OpenSSL v1.1 compatibility
https://github.com/hrobeers/peercoin/commit/5b09830e5de0f5105534e69dbf4acffb3255869b

I had originally deleted bignum.h and the bignum tests, but I included them for the case they're needed - I think not.

(To the users: Don't use this fork - it does not work properly!)

[gnasirator]

nice!
btw, is there anyone who knows how to open the project in eclipse?
I'd like to get my hands dirty as well but really only know eclipse - preferrably in windows. Is anyone developing in that environment? (I know you're not, pallas^^)

No, there is no staking.

Wallet on AEX "Temporarily closed", why and for how long?

Wallet on AEX "Temporarily closed", why and for how long?

As @liuwei37645 linked the AEX announcement, maybe the "temporary closed" XCN wallet is related to this.
Here is what they say about the XCN and other six projects: https://www.aex.com/page/news/notice/2017/1110/en_46.html

Maybe is time to search and try to get on another exchange..
stocks.exchange it seems to get some momentum and I think is free to get listed there, but I'm not sure.

Aex support said they would open the xcn wallet regardless.
I agree about stocks.exchange, we should try to be listed there while it's free/cheap since that exchange is growing. Any volunteer? :-)

Thanks a lot!

Sorry it took so much but I finally was able to have a look at your work. I thought less changes were needed :-/
In general it looks good; I will clone and compile it ASAP to see if I can find were the problem lies.
A little note: bignum.cpp is added to a headers directive in Makefile.am, there is probably a more appropriate place to put it.

Yep, I thought also it were only a couple of easy replacements - and it turned out to be much more. But as I already started, I wanted to finish it ...

The files where I suspect I did something wrong are those where I didn't make only simple replacements using the patches (because Cryptonite had significantly different code) and had to guess what to use instead:

- chainparams.cpp (first replacement is specific to Cryptonite)
- main.cpp (the part at line 980 where a fNegative/fOverflow variable is introduced, Cryptonite's code was somewhat different than Bitcoin's)
- main.h (around line 736)
- crypter.cpp
- key.cpp (in these two files the original Peercoin patch didn't work fully, so I had to adapt it)

PS: I think I spotted a possible error in this commit at line 305 in key.cpp, where I used (probably wrongly) the original Peercoin patch. I'll look into it.

Edit: It still segfaults after correcting the values to those used in Cryptonite. :-( However, I commited the change to my fork because I think it was wrong anyway.

Hope to see us in a group with same purposes for exchanges, and markets, with Slimcoin, and other innovative crypto projects.
Hello to Cryptonite community, from one of the small supporters of Slimcoin.

Aex support said they would open the xcn wallet regardless.
I agree about stocks.exchange, we should try to be listed there while it's free/cheap since that exchange is growing. Any volunteer? :-)

Are they give any ETA for opening?

[pallas]

Latest support reply version:

"Hello! Sorry, the current xcn wallet is still under test, to be open as soon as possible after the deployment of the test, but also you concerned about the news, I wish you have a good day."

At least there does seem to be an improvement ;-)

Can you suggest any pools that support XCN mining?

Difficulty is pretty low now, I think you can.

Indeed. Aex.com promised to open their xcn wallet soon. If that is true, we will have much more volume!

No just letting the newer people know.

I go solo with 12MH if the net is below 2G and diff is below 200k.
