[ANN][SEM] Semux - Official Thread

[Pumuckel21]

hey i just found out about semux an i am pretty interested in this coin ... so do you know if there is another airdrop or bounty coming in the future.

[romec1701]

This looks like a really good and interesting project. Will be downloading wallet and getting involved. thank you.

[Mynameischair]

So my laptop is a chromebook. Should i download the Unix or window version? Am guessing Unix, but am not sure. Will hate to miss out on this.

[mdodong]

nice project, i downloaded the wallet and joined the airdrop.
is it a weekly airdrop or just one time?
what's the use of "delegates"?

Delegates are validator candidates. Once a delegate gets enough (top 64 ) votes it becomes a validator which can forge/mine blocks and get rewards.

Does chromebook have java and does it allow sort of 3rd party apps to run? I'm not really familiar with it but as far as download will go you need the Unix version since Chromebook is linux based OS.

Is there an instruction to force the program to update the blocks?

You can delete the database file inside the Semux folder, it will automatically resync the Semux blockchain.

Did not help. I need enter to the program 100 times to start updating the blocks. But when the number of peers reaches 36-38, the update stops and again has to restart the program.

Have same problem. Used beta, rc1, rc2 without problems before and now cannot sync during 2 weeks.

This has been a common issue recently.

• To fix this problem, please follow the following steps. 
• close any running semux wallet in your network
• open port 5161 in your router/firewall.
• delete semux database folder
• restart computer
• open semux wallet and sync

PS: If port 5161 is opened successfully you should get 70+ peers. If you are getting just around <50 peers it's possible port 5161 is not yet open.

Looks too hard for wide using. Not many people know how to open port.

What? Opening a port nowadays is pretty straight forward. Google is your friend.

yeah you can either use 3rd party or install it directly thru the developer section. anyway, thanks for the info

For those who have sync issues please download the wallet again and resync. There is a little update to the RC3 wallet

[extravirgin]

So i have a really old laptop, IBM thinkpad 2673 (dont clown, that all i can afford for now)with Window XP. Anyway, i downloaded the wallet but its asking for java runtime 8. I downloaded it but it's not supported by my operating system, is there any way to work around this

If you are brave enough, install linux. I suggest Ubuntu. It's free and has tons of support online. Not to mention it runs on older PCs as well.

i have downloaded and installed semux on my pc and i have already joined your bounty.. thanks

Today it's not a secret, it's quite easy case, but if people want only "Money" button, I think they have go to another place 

where is the Like button here?

So what is the expected price for this coin?  I'm trying to figure out if it's even worth the effort prove I own my amount of BTC.  Some of these kinds of airdrops have given away barely a few dollars and this coin isn't on coinmarketcap.

[RogerSally]

My wallet is stuck on block #3 182, and no sync even with 95 peers indicated, what I should to do?

Looks like the price is around 3000-4000 sats at the moment.

dynamic ip?
restart the wallet.
Dev has fixed this issue with auto IP update. But unavailable until next version.

[wiredideas]

For those people who have some difficulty in syncing with our blockchain, please open port 5161.



How do you open port 5161 on your modem/router?


If you are using any router with QoS or other bandwidth limiting software (i.e Tomato, DD-WRT, TPLINK, Asus Merlin, OpenWRT, Kerio Control, Mikrotik, etc.)   please exempt or make a rule to allow Semux traffic to flow in port 5161:


Protocol: TCP/UDP
Destination Port: 5161
Classification: Highest



That will speed up the syncing process and anything related to Semux. HTH.

There are some issue with syncing if you're running the SNAPSHOT version of the wallet. We're looking into it.

P.S. keeping port 5161 open is not required for non-validator nodes.
