Tenebrix

Yeah, use the daemon.

As I said this happened with DeVCoin too, we just disabled the gen=1 commands so people cannot turn on mining in the devcoin-qt since we (Unthinkingbit and I) didn't manage to track down what exactly it was that was doing it, other than it looked like some things we needed for doing what devcoin needs to do were not thread-safe, at least, it seems, not in the GUI.

We needed to use curl, or something anyway that would go out and get our lists of recipients for minted coins, so if not being able to mine with the -qt client was fallout from that too bad, its more important to do that key function of devcoin and anyone who does want to mine can use the daemon, which in any case probably uses less resources on the server and allows the server to be headless so for miners it is in any case generally better / more-appropriate anyway.

Curl is threadsafe,  qt at least as it used to be built on windows was not.

So good chance these older forks still have that issue.

Yeah now you mention it, maybe we used something other than curl first, that was not thread-safe, then noticed curl was listed as thread-safe so switched to curl despite that adding a new dependency, then still found the damn thing wouldn't mine.

Thanks for the link I will go look at that maybe we can get mining working. though if they fixed it then once the "mergecoin" repo (bitcoin with ONLY merged mining as secondary chain added) is ready all the merged coins can inherit the fix along with gosh knows how many other fixes the bitcoin devs have been doing while all the kiddies squabbled in the altcoin playpen all this time...

Oh the -mt we add to boost libs in some distros of linux might stand for multithreaded.

I think our mining in devcoin-qt crashed on linux too though not just on windows. Unless maybe unthinkingbit uses Windows I'm not sure we would even have noticed if it didn't work on windows until someone built a Windows binary, whereupon we'd likely have been like well you do windows, you figure it out.

Where is the mining program running? Is it connecting to 127.0.0.0 aka localhost? If not maybe firewall isn't letting it connect, or its IP address is not on the rcpallowip list, yet for some reason its claiming internal sever error (500) instead of unable to connect?

Or does 500 mean it must have connected and the RPC server itself is telling it that it got an internal server error (500) ?

What error does it give when username or password for RPC is incorrect?

-MarkM-

It's connecting, because I have no firewall inside the network. 401 if the password is incorrect, 500 if they're correct.

EDIT: By the way, are you getting connections, Mark?

Yeah i don't have eight connections though, only seeing 7 right now, and that is from a machine that has incoming port open.

Maybe who-ever is blasting it with hashing, likely from one or more GPUs, will get enough coins to fell like investing in a stable node that people can put in -addnode or even that can be coded into the DNSseed and fallback IPs.

Maybe they are just trying to drive difficulty way high and abandon it though due to being against the idea of having some coins that are nice havens for CPU miners or something though.

I don't use config files. I had to have one of course for the old multicoin-based version, and thus had to until today for Fairbrix, but Tenebrix is just like normal bitcoin or litecoin based coins, no need for any config file at all.

tenebrixstart.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash

TENEBRIXD=/usr/local/bin/tenebrixd
DATADIR=$HOME/.tenebrix

$TENEBRIXD -datadir=$DATADIR -rescan \
        -rpcuser=whoever -rpcpassword=therpcpassword \
        -gen=0 -daemon -rpcport=8697

(Addnodes of course one would also add if one happens to have any.)

tenebrixd.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash

TENEBRIXD=/usr/local/bin/tenebrixd

if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
  echo "Syntax: tenebrixd.sh COMMAND"
  exit
fi

$TENEBRIXD -rpcuser=whoever -rpcpassword=therpcpassword \
        -rpcport=8697 "$@"

Just wondering, is Lolcust even still around?

Is there any windows client for tenebrix now?

[markm]

I don't know. Even if some folk did compile it for Windows maybe they haven'y made the binary available anywhere. Maybe no one has compiled for Windows at all, or compiled only the daemon. or maybe no Windows peoople are mining it at all.

[nabworth]

any idea what an average block rate might be for a dual core i7-2640M 2.8GHz ?

mined for 24 hrs, didnt find a block. pretty difficult for something people consider a 'dead' coin.

[markm]

Yeah someone with a bunch of GPUs hit both Tenebrix and Fairbrix recently. Not sure if they are still mining them or just drove the difficulty up and went away.

Maybe having acquired lots of coins they will next look into getting them onto an exchange so they can dump them...

[ahmed_bodi]

yeah theres  a few of us mining tenebrix for some plans that we have for it. stay tuned

[digitalindustry]

ahh you just failed politically - if you have a GPU miner and  "Have plans for it" its just going to look like a Pre-mine , so now you kind of have to try to retract that .

 

[digitalindustry]

yeah theres  a few of us mining tenebrix for some plans that we have for it. stay tuned

[ahmed_bodi]

ahh i dont mean in that sense i dont even have a gpu lol, ive been cpu mining with my laptop but i know theres a few of us working on the coin and theres been more people joining the #tenebrix irc channel outta interest and wanted instructions on how to mine it

[digitalindustry]

i'd give that a moderate 6 out of 10 .

pretty good really.

revised 6.5

[ahmed_bodi]

aha itll have to do, but stay tuned for more tenebrix news

[Buffer Overflow]

aha itll have to do, but stay tuned for more tenebrix news

You'll have to destory that little matter of 7769999.0 TBX premined on block 1 or this coin isn't going nowhere.
