What's unique about this coin?

Just another fork right?

Now this can even be mined by asics I presume.

So u didnt read anything about Masari?

DYOR, once you've found enough information you'll see how Masari is undervalued. You could start here: https://btcmanager.com/interview-with-thaer-khawaja-lead-developer-of-the-masari-project/

Undervalued is an understatement.

Also Thaer curbstomping haters earlier in this thread. Glad I found this project early.

It is still early but it would have been nice to find it earlier.

anyone has some info about whitepaper? eager to take a look at it.
Another thing: Slack is not setup for Masari?

A whitepaper will be made when a new scalability feature will be proposed. It will not be the usual crap that lately we see, a protocol will be described.

Does anyone know when we will be listed on the Crex24 ?

Does anyone know when we will be listed on the Crex24 ?

I will post when I have a concrete answer. I sent an email and am waiting for a response. Once they receive payment, we should be set.

masari-win-x64-v0.2.4.0 cli deamon and wallet working fine, testing gui later

[dave_bbp]

I just updated the GUI Windows wallet to 0.2.4. I had to restore the wallet from the seed and after that it was smooth sailing. Syncing and rescanning took only a couple of minutes, all my balance is back, and the GUI looks and "feels" very nice.

Awesome work!

Is this the original cryptonight algo? That is ASIC mineable now?

I had the problem that the v0.2.0.2 masari-wallet-cli would simply not recognize the wallet files from v0.1.4.0 as if there is no backward compatibility.
You input the wallet password and get some error: "Error: failed to load wallet: std::bad_alloc"

So I used --restore-deterministic-wallet and entered the seed from the old wallet, but... attention... it will then ask you for something like a seed encryption pasphrase. If you enter one, it will generate a completely new seed with a new address, i.e. a new wallter, not your old wallet. I don't remember if this seed encryption passphrase was there in previous versions, well at least I didn't use it. So I had to restore again, this time leaving that seed encryption passphrase blank and so it finally restored my old address, i.e. exactly my old wallet.

That's on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Not tried the Windows or MacOS version.

If you rename your keys file (i.e. wallet-name.keys), it will solve the problem. This is because you have to clear your wallet cache (which would be wallet-name, no extension). A rename of the keys file instead of deleting the cache is the safest option (in case you accidentally delete your private key)

Can you explain a bit more?  I have not been able to open my wallet since migrating to Badger.  The cli wallet program generates these error messages:

2018-06-05 07:21:51.044   460   WARN    wallet.wallet2   src/wallet/wallet2.cpp:3789   Failed to open portable binary, trying unportable

2018-06-05 07:21:51.060   460   ERROR   msgwriter   src/common/scoped_message_writer.h:102   Error: failed to load wallet: std::bad_alloc

2018-06-05 07:21:51.061   460   ERROR   wallet.simplewallet   src/simplewallet/simplewallet.cpp:7292   Failed to initialize wallet

How do I solve this?  What do you mean you "have to clear your wallet cache"?  I have my old wallet, old wallet password, seed words, etc.  Just want to restore and see my balance again.

Rename the file in red brackets.

Well, seems like I spoke too soon. After closing the wallet, the GUI cannot open it again, only giving the following error:

Code:

Couldn't open wallet: basic_string::_M_replace_aux

.
I also realized, that the GUI wallet asked for a folder to place the wallet file in, but it didn't write anything to that folder. Restoring from seed works of course, but it would be tedious to always do that again...


Edit: found the solution myself, although it's really weird. Apparently you musn't change the default folder for the wallet storage when asked. So after letting the GUI create the wallet file in "my documents", I closed it, moved the created file to another folder, opened the GUI again and then opened the created wallet file from the other folder. Now it works.

Also: is there a setting to lower the "countdown" to the daemon start? Dunno what those 10 seconds are for...

Nope.

Masari has developed CN-Fast and will roll it out as the PoW algo @ block height 204,000. Testing shows a hashrate increase of 30-50% for both CPU & GPU against CNv7.

Sadly after this change we will loose ability to use free Claymore version. I hope that Masari devs will release custom xmr-stack without built in fees.

What is the problem of CNv7? If you want larger hashrate number, why don't choose SHA256 as POW algorithm same as Bitcoin?

Or you can compile XMR stak via github and remove the fee yourself. It's not rocket science.

What lmao? Your comment makes no sense. The hash increase is all relative. We're forking to prevent 51% attacks and timestamp manipulation. Our network is relatively small in comparison to XMR or ETN. People have been attacking MSR with large nicehash orders (CN7 orders). This fork will move us away from CN7 and kick nicehashers out.

Excellent move. We will see a much more stable network post fork.
