[ANN] Datacoin - Censorship-Free Data Storage

[extro24]

Good day,

I see someone has suddenly become aware of Datacoin, and has doubled the nethash. 4 rigs (20 cards).
Well thanks for screwing the small guy. No point trying to compete with that hash. Price dropped by 2/3rds and for every £5 of power i spend i get approx £0.25 of Datacoin. (That was pre hash increase.)
I wish there was a way to implement say something like for every gpu you needed 8 or 16GB of system ram, that way at least it might keep the 1080ti rigs away a little longer.

I'll stick a 1030Gt on it, just to help keep the chain ticking over.
Be interesting to see where the mining goes next.

Will keep a casual eye on developments, cos i love the concept, and think the individuals behind this are some of the very best i have come across.

Hi minerja

Where do you look to see that the nethash is doubled?  And how do you know it is with 4 rigs (20 cards)?   Just curious.
Your power cost is very high.  Is this the UK?  Better place to mine would be India or Canada.

Good Day!

I glad to present the new DTC client with embedded pool for GPU mining.
This version of DTC client implements all planned features at this moment.

This version synchronizes very fast, includes most of the bitcoin 0.15.99 client features.
But segregated witness was temporarily disabled because of incompatibility with old dtc clients.
The next improvements cannot be done until dtc network moves from old clients to new client.

Source code DTC 0.15.99-08: https://yadi.sk/d/nA7f5cWr3VSYDf
Windows binaries 0.15.99-08: https://yadi.sk/d/eu7rJ9EN3VSYBF

IMPORTANT: Backup your wallet (wallet.dat file) before using it.

It was a hard last month. I need some time out. In near future I plan only to make bug fixes if there are some.

Thank you for patience

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MINING
You need to start the embeded "madpool" in dtc client, then use xpmclient for mining.

1. setgenerate true
Enter this command in dtc console. If you need you can stop pool later with command "setgenerate false", but closing dtc application also works

2. use xpmclient v10.1beta: https://yadi.sk/d/gFMn5wDw3Nnven
You can try another versions of xpmclient.
Check config.txt for configuring. For example server = "127.0.0.1".

It is possible to use xpmclient on remote pc. You need some additional configuring for that.
Let the dtc host ip = 192.168.2.1. Then you need server = "192.168.2.1" in config.txt of xpmclient, and host=192.168.2.1 in datacoin.conf file.

Linux compiling:
- Install compiling tools.
- Download db-4.8.30.NC. Extract. Compile it.
Short example ("/home/veter" is my homedir):
$ cd db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix
$ ../dist/configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --with-pic --prefix=/home/veter/dbbin/
$ make
$ make install
- Install additional tools:
$ sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libczmq-dev
- Compile DTC:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --with-gui=yes LDFLAGS="-L/home/veter/dbbin/lib/" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wvla -Wformat-security -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-strict-aliasing" CFLAGS="-O3" CPPFLAGS="-fPIC -I/home/veter/dbbin/include/" LIBS="-lgmp -lboost_timer -levent_pthreads -lzmq -lczmq -lprotobuf"
$ make

In case protobuf version error you need to regenerate protocol.pb.h and protocol.pb.cpp files from protocol.proto.
$ cd ./src/madpool
$ protoc --cpp_out=. protocol.proto
$ mv ./protocol.pb.cc ./protocol.pb.cpp
$ cd ../..

Actually, the difficulty is significantly down in the last week due to the Primecoin spike -- you should be seeing a big increase in the coin you get! I am.

This is beyond exciting! 
Great work Verionum and all Devs!

I'm jazzed to test functionality using Apertus on Datacoin mainnet and testnet.

I should have some feedback for everyone later this weekend

Go Datacoin Go!

Uk here, and yes 16p per kwh, so 1000watt 24hrs = £3.84

Is there any profit calculator for this coin? OR someone can give me an estimate of the potential profit for a 1080ti or 1070Ti or 1060? thanks!

[extro24]

Added windows binaries in my previous post.

Thank you Verionum.

Enjoy your well earned rest.

Verionum, thank you for the awesome job that you have done with the fast tracking of the latest client.

Do you perhaps have a list of additional dependencies required for latest - 0.15.99.07 version.

Tnx,

 

[Verionum]

It needs installed czmq.
$ sudo apt-get install libczmq-dev

May be you need to regenerate protocol.pb.h and protocol.pb.cpp files from protocol.proto.
$ cd ./src/madpool
$ protoc --cpp_out=. protocol.proto
$ mv ./protocol.pb.cc ./protocol.pb.cpp
$ cd ../..

Verionum,

I appreciate the quick response - installed 0.15.99.07 on Ubuntu 16.04 x64 without any problems.

Tnx,

[Verionum]

Updated sources and binaries.

Source code DTC 0.15.99-08: https://yadi.sk/d/nA7f5cWr3VSYDf
Windows binaries 0.15.99-08: https://yadi.sk/d/eu7rJ9EN3VSYBF

Fixed some bugs. Windows binaries have moved on static linking.

I need some advice, the first phase of my project is about to be completed and need to establish a currency symbol to make it easy for users to understand when they speak about Datacoin as a currency; for example when they use $ / £ / ¥ / ₽

D - the obvious choice
Ɗ - to simple look like the plain D and the ' is barely visible
Ð - used by dodgecoin
Ď - .... just not sure
Ḋ - dot above ...
Ḏ - line below, I like this one and the original is pronounced as Dal or Dall )

Also need something for pennies / cents - I suggest the use of stics from the synonym for data - stati stics

The price for this item is Ḏ 13.00 (thirteen data coin ) or the service cost Ḏ 25.00 (twenty five data coin)
The price for this item is Ḏ 13.25 (thirteen data coin and twenty five stics ) or the service cost Ḏ 25.50 (twenty five data coin and fifty stics)

Any suggestions is welcome.

Tnx,

H

On another note, run your own Datacoin node.

You will find a semi automated node installation script for Datacoin Core 0.15.99.08 at;

https://www.datacoin.tk/source/0.15.99.08/

Supported OS is Ubuntu 16.04 on the x64 platform.

Get a server at Vultr - affiliate link available at the link above for a $10 coupon.

Setup a server on  ( 1 ) Server Location: Miami

Select ( 2 ) Server Type: Ubuntu 16.04 x64

Select ( 3 ) Server Size: 20 GB SSD $2.50/mo $0.004/h (Vultr coupon above will give you four months fee use)

Select ( 4 ) Additional Features: Enable IPv6 and Enable Private Networking (for future use)

Next ( 5 ) Startup Script:

Next ( 6 ) SSH Keys:

Next ( 7 ) Firewall Group:

Next ( 8 ) Server Hostname & Label: [what ever you want to name your server]

Click the Deploy Now Button

Wait for the server to be installed an configured.

On the Server Information screen you will find your IP address, Username and Password

Click on the View Console link/image and a noVNC window will open.

log in

Type username  root and press enter

Type password *************** and press enter (On the Server Information screen)

Next change your password to something easier for you to remember and to enter on the noVNC window.

I would like to start solo mining.
I download latest wallet and synced .

If I enter in console setgenerate true wallet crashed  with assertion error

I cannot reproduce the error. It seems the race condition with zsys_init function.

Can you make some runnings and present a report? Does it happen every running or time to time?

I have intend to make solo mining, and every time I enter command, got same result
So I cannot make condition for solo mining.

Please try this version https://yadi.sk/d/Tc-KjdVN3VgS6P
and make response. Is any difference?
