If we can get a linux binary for the daemon I could add it to one of my node vps

wailord284 and I can help you with that as we both got flappycoin-qt running on Raspbian. Which Linux distro and architecture are you targeting?

Or if you'd like to attempt to build it yourself, for the most part the instructions in doc/build-*.md work. I did this:

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libdb5.3++-dev libminiupnpc-dev qt4-qmake libqt4-dev \
  libbooost-thread-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev
git clone https://github.com/Flapmin/Flappy5.git
cd Flappy5/src
make -f makefile.unix # see notes

I left out libssl-dev as others mentioned having trouble with it, and you can see my earlier instructions for building openssl locally and pointing makefile.unix to it. Later when I ran qmake and plain make for the Qt build I didn't bother specifying my own openssl, so it might actually work with libssl-dev on some systems after all.

IIRC if you don't have libdb4.8 you shouldn't attempt to migrate an old wallet.dat, but libdb5 is fine for fresh wallets.

Between 150K ~ 500K ... part of the day I need to reduce to be able to work ...

That would suggest you have a GPU or some small ASIC miner. Can you answer my earlier question about how to solo-mine with sgminer?

@hanzou solomining:
to keep it simple:

sgminer -k scrypt -o http://ipfromwallet:11555 -u user -p yourpassword
pause

for more information about sgminer type sgminer.exe -h
configure flappycoin.conf in %appdata% >> flappycoin before mining
sample:
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=yourpassword
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=11555
port=11556
addnode=24.9.245.200

Update:  node is up and pulling blockchain down. ( 198.98.48.192:11556 )

You may want to add to your "How to build a node instructions"

Code:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 11556 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 11556 -j ACCEPT

Thanks uBm! And ugabuga for the PM.

Nice work getting everything built and running on Linux.

the tx fee isssue

I think I figured it out. If you run with -mintxfee=0.0001 -minrelaytxfee=0.0001 that makes a 4000 FLAP transaction cost something reasonable like 0.3 FLAP.

Unfortunately everybody's nodes are setting the default fees really high so at first my transactions weren't getting accepted by the network. So then I applied these settings to my node that carried hashpower to pull my low-fee transactions through.

So we could benefit if anyone here running an active node could go ahead and edit flappycoin.conf accordingly.

They own about 5000000 flappycoins a few years ago. Can I do anything with these coins?

I edited my node to use this now! So far a 25 flap transaction went from a flap fee of 73 to 5.7 so that is significantly better

By 'they' do you mean 'I'? If so, you can download the new V5 wallet, sync it with the available bootstrap.dat and then copy your old wallet.dat into the C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Roaming\FlappyCoin folder and you should have your coins back.

Developer has been a bit quiet of late? An update would be cool

stopped the node and added that to the .conf, trans fees are as above now!

added to  wallet and will test
(i even used 0.00001) which led to a tx fee of 7 flap for a 200 flap transaction from ~100 adresses

I'll set mine to what ever you guys want.  Just let me know

also the coin itself needs update, codebase seem a bit dusty to me compared to doge btc etc

I've been brainstorming some ways to to modernize the coin. With all the August 1st news, I started thinking about what it would take to support SegWit and the Lightning Network. This would put FlappyCoin ahead of its cousin Dogecoin in that regard.

So I found the pull request for SegWit: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7910/files Unfortunately it's 5000 lines and dependent on years of other changes to the codebase.

Okay then, next thought: can we fork the tip of Litecoin and change all its parameters to match the Flappy blockchain? From what I can tell we mainly need to modify GetBlockSubsidy() (formerly known as GetBlockValue()) to handle those Flappy random block awards, plus change the genesis block, protocol number, retargeting period, and checkpoints. Any soft-fork BIPs that got applied in the past three years, set those to start some time in the future.

Migrating the branding images seems easy, but wouldn't attempt that until the above path is proven.

Easier said than done, but I think much less than 5000 lines and it gives us a modern codebase/UI along with a whole lot more than SegWit.

No doubt I'm missing something. Thoughts?

I think its a good idea and certainly possible but like you said it would take a lot of work. But it would certainly help this coin and future proof it a little more.

[wailord284]

This is a really interesting project and I'm extremely excited to watch it evolve over the next few months/years.

You just posted that on the Casinocoin page too...

Guess we can hit that "Report to moderator" button

[uBm]

would be happy if Flapmin could comment on the issues,  / Progress, i get a feeling he is not along with it anymore... ?

[flappycoinrevive]

he said in the earlier days that his team would not solely focus of flappycoin, but on saving several other coins from the dark abyss. so maybe he's caught up on other projects at the moment and we'll have to carry on by ourselves.

[hanzou]

Well I can confirm at least he's still alive. Flapmin replied to me last night mentioning that he's quitting his day job (which I assume is the carpentry shop) and going back into crypto full-time.

flappycoinrevive, can I get edit access to the WordPress site? I submitted my "Become a Contributor" request last week but anyhow my WordPress username is hanzoufuuma.
