[ANN] Datacoin - Censorship-Free Data Storage

[dtc2017]

Curious on your opinions on how datacoin will defend itself from abuse like the recent news with CP on bitcoin? Since you can store whole pictures and not only links on the datacoin blockchain:/

This issue has been discussed at length many times on the dtc forums

With 10.1 version I had 110cpd on 1060 3GB

Miners before 10.2.2 have a bug and produces 4-5% invalid shares with odd targets (include 9 and 11).

Can you build xpmclient 10.2.2 for Microsoft Windows x64 please?

Tho it's not exactly like that. It's in fact quite easily accessable - you just must have public key, and that's it. With bitfossil you could see it even without blockchain, and of course blockchain is tainted that way. It's just a cost of immutability of database and it's decentralisation

what is your opinion about NiceHash?  
the question arose because ... xpmforall.org - always skips +\- 300 miners...

Datacoin gets Satoshi Dice!

NB:  I haven't bet yet, just noticed the service.

Datacoin Core 0.16
I thought I should quote some of the PM's between the developers in this forum:

Due to everyone's hard work, ... fwiw, my Linux-hosted datacoin-intermediary is now fully synced from the datacoin node on my remote server via a bootstrap.dat that I made by simply concatenating its blk*.dat files. I'm aware that this approach preserves any orphans present in the original files but I'm using a separate client (on OS X, immaterially) which I've configured to connect only to the datacoin-intermediary client on my local Linux host and is syncing from this restricted local network - which is one recommended way to filter out any orphans and produce a contemporary linearised bootstrap.dat file.

My next step will be to merge the Primecoin and Datacoin 0.16 codebases and see if I can get Datacoin Core to sync from the datacoin-intermediary on the OS X client.

(primecoin-intermediary blockchain is still syncing, despite being started a day and a half earlier than the Datacoin client, loads of orphans being received.

Cheers
Graham

Graham does emphasize that  

...this is investigative work, the intermediary is merely a necessary precondition for any work on augmenting the Primecoin Core code with the Datacoin data storage mechanism. In an earlier piece of work I seemed to be able to identify the components of the mechanism and cleanly separate them out. However, the implementation of several years ago may need extensive refactoring in order to function in the context of a contemporary Bitcoin clone.

Bottom line is that the Datacoin developers are now hard at work on a Datacoin Core 0.16 client.

Whilst I I understand the enthusiasm, I prefer realism - “hard at work” is misleading.

Hi dev.
i am using this version dtcclient v9.4.1 for mining. but after a period of work and after 1 payout it closes with an error.

This error => (xpmclient.exe has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.)

why?

[gjhiggins]

Reported on solid/chat (https://gitter.im/solid/chat) as interesting and I concur:

Hi hoseinor5,

That's a pretty broad error message to be able to troubleshoot - also, you provide scant information to work with.
Also note that some systems simply cannot handle the stress of mining and shutdown.

That being said, if you really want someone to be able to help you, it's generally wise to give all the information about your system.
Operating system - type of GPU (and if you overclocked) - type of GPU mgmt system - type of motherboard - type of PSU. Also, the mining pool you use, and why you chose 9.4.1 instead of a newer version of the miner.
(and more miners are here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=831708.msg33032822#msg33032822 - that may be able to help better)

Kind Regards,
DataSea

I found, that exactly two hours later, the xpmclient(any version) closes. why?

I have found that the xpmclient closes due to an interruption in your internet access - either loss of connection or IP change from your ISP.

This issue was resolved once I have changed over from ADSL to Fibre Connection now having a static IP and no more lost connections.

Hi dev.
i am using this version xpmclient v9.4.1 for mining. but after a period of work and usually after 1 payout it closes with an error.

OS : win10 64x
GPU :amd radeon rx 570 *4
MB : msi b250 krait gaming
RAM : 4GB ddr3
CPU : Intel pentium G4400 3.30GH
PSU : real 700 watt *2 = 1400 watt
POOL: coinsforall.io and dtc.graymines.net
I chose 9.4.1 because cpd/day > cpd/day with any version. Anyway i have problem with any version(9.4.1 - 10 - 10.1 - 10.2.2) and any pool
also, i am ETC miner for 8 month with this reg without any error.

I have access to one 6x570 rig with same problem, but miner crashes rarely (1 times in 2-3 days).. I will try fix it in next miner version 10.3.
Now you can use simple .bat file:

:1
xpmclient
goto 1

I suppose Datacoin is the currency you need to use in order to pay for storing info on your blockchain? Does the system work by now? How much is it to store data on the chain?

Yes.  Works well.  The cost is 0.05DTC for 128kB.

That was the doubt on top of my head regards to the economics ...

I am developing a 2D game and I would also like to develop a marketplace for my game assets ...

Correctly if I'm wrong ...

If the price of datacoin rises then the price of the assets stored at datacoin blockchain will rises too, isn't it ?

now the coin is very cheap

No, the cost to store the asset will rise with the price of Datacoin.  But the price of the asset will be determined by the market.
Are you talking about the Bytestamp assets?  Like this one:  https://www.bytestamp.net/docs/qdoc/en/468a1bac2eea3b415deaf054e56381ac
