[ANN] Datacoin - Censorship-Free Data Storage

[sampei7777]

This is great. But description is not. Only says what Bytestamp does at half way. People have no patience, I suggest you write very simply what it is in first line so that more people will download.

Done, Thank You.

I hope it is better now.

Hi Datacoin!


We are still mining Datacoin and Datacoin testnet!

I'm currently still in school learning computer programming and working in the tech field gaining valuable know-how.

What have you been doing during the crypto-winter?

Hope you have been polishing your skillz to make this world a better place!

The goal is to help take Datacoin and all Cypherpunk blockchains that are committed to helping The People to greater heights.


Kind Regards,

The DataSea / AtomSea

It is indeed a cold winter.

I have been battling to log in since bitcointalk does not accept my password anymore.

Welcome back Extro!

Thanks Chicago. 

I was very busy on the farm (with lambing, piglets etc) and when I tried to log in again bitcointalk would not accept my password.  They are now saying I must sign a message with a Bitcoin address that I posted.

This is irritating.  I think Atomsea went through the same process.

Yay Extro!

Indeed.
I decided to just not deal with it and create DataSea... lol
Maybe someday I'll resurrect the AtomSea account -- i hold the AtomSea Bitcoin privkeys and can use that... but I'm liking the DataSea

Hi,

Just to let you know that https://novaexchange.com/ is open again for registration.

I went through the complete process of KYC and had no issues.

Would be nice if someone could start a coin listing application

Is it possible to add to this wallet: http://www.datacoin.tk/wallet - function of uploading files, we can currently do it, but only with DTC Browser, which is inconvenient and impossible for mobile users?
Dunno, how much effort it would need - DTC Browser is already working - but probably need some backend to do operations - https://github.com/j0nn9/DTCBrowser

With Bitcoin SV (yeah fork), you can do it through moneybutton integration + https://bico.media/ - still inconvenient, but at least possible for mobile users.

DTC Browser (with full QT wallet) as decentralized solution with priv keys access  + centralized solution for convenience - would be really good, and could unleash potential of DTC blockchain. Maybe even solution, which could hold keys locally, but act similar to electrum?
Well I was a little out of my head, still imo it's something really needed.

I have even published some time ago Datacoin AIO suite: https://github.com/muf18/Datacoin-AIO/releases - with full blockchain snapshot + DTC Browser updated and parsed up to 13 Oct 2018.

Today tested this AIO package once again and on old laptop with HDD 5400 rpm, it was synced within 30 min, and parsed for browsing blockchain content with DTC within an hour.
Quite good time I must say, with SSD and better PC components, it can be probably improved by 2-3x times I guess.

It should not be to much effort to implement the publishing of files to the Datacoin blockchain, or I rather hope so!

Anyway, the publishing of files to the Datacoin blockchain using PuTTY and WinSCP  is easy if you run a node on DigitalOcean or Vultr.

Just upload your file for publishing to any directory on the server i.e.

/var/tmp/filename.txt

Next login to the server with PuTTY and at the prompt type;

bzip2 -c -9 /var/tmp/filename.txt | base64 -w 0 | xargs -I XX datacoind senddata XX

and press enter.

The successful publishing of the file to the Datacoin blockchain will return a transaction id (txid) i.e.

3cf7b2efc185cc948261abd3d5d633e9dd3878a8315d579a9ebfd76638638ac1

To retrieve the publication, login to the server with PuTTY and at the prompt type;

datacoind getrawtransaction 3cf7b2efc185cc948261abd3d5d633e9dd3878a8315d579a9ebfd76638638ac1 | xargs -I XX datacoind decoderawtransaction XX | grep -E '"data"' | grep -E -o ': ".*"' | sed -E 's/[": ]//g' | base64 -d | bzip2 -d > /var/tmp/retrieve_filename.txt

The successful retrieval of the file from the Datacoin blockchain will return no visible output, however, you will find the file at your location entererdi.e.

/var/tmp/retrieve_filename.txt

Like I said, easy, very easy!

Now, I just recently started learning about executing a shell script from a PHP script and have not yet found a proper solution.

If someone out there know how to execute a shell file I should be able to implement the publishing of files to the Datacoin blockchain on http://www.datacoin.tk/wallet

i.e. getinfo.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh

// Returns an object containing various state info.
datacoind getinfo

that will return;

Code:

{
    "version" : "v0.1.2.0dtc-hp11-unk-beta",
    "protocolversion" : 70001,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 2900817,
    "moneysupply" : 36483140.72783475,
    "timeoffset" : 0,
    "connections" : 23,
    "proxy" : "",
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1528975869,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""
}

Using a PHP file i.e. getinfo.php

Code:

<?php

echo exec("bash shell.sh 2>&1");

?>

or something like;

Code:

<?php

$command = escapeshellcmd("bash shell.sh 2>&1");
$output = shell_exec($command);
echo $output;

?>

Even tho I dont consider myself a computer illiterate, I didnt understand half of these commends, as I dont use Winscp or datacoind.

And if we want at least some "glimpse" of adoption there should be easy front end for this kind operation on Datacoin blockchain (perferably with viewer/browser in the wallet itself, to search through DTC blockchain).

It should censorship resistant, but also easy enough for people to use it, if they want to do it, without installing third party software.

In BSV there are some easier option to do it, and as I said it should be at least as easy. Log into one service and just upload the files, paying up the fee for it and waiting to upload - simple and easy.

The coin is dead. Only 3-4 people are mining it. The buy pool will dry up soon.

If you are expecting anything else from this coin i would not hold my breath.

it is still alive

There been always some guys mining.
I'm also mining this once in a while.

Difficulty jumping up and down.

I see that Yobit has Datecoin, not Datacoin.

IMHO the biggest problem with Datacoin ATM is the lack of native names and assets like in Namecoin.  With the trading of in-coin assets you have a circular economy, so demand is guaranteed.  To buy the virtual asset you must pay Datacoin, and the coin has value.

I have looked at Xaya (Chi, the successor to Huntercoin).  Xaya (https://xaya.io) is a gaming currency, but it has several features that would be useful to Datacoin.  Since they are based on Namecoin, they inherit the names and assets of that cryptocurrency.  In addition, they have side-channels (which they call game channels) which is similar to the Lightning network.  These features would be very useful to the social network implementations we have in Apertus.

Xaya is based on Namecoin Core 0.16, so it is very close to Datacoin Core 0.15.99.  I think the migration would be achievable.

Crikey! forgot that YoBit have DateCoin (DTC) and DataCoin (DTCN) tokens, a good practice would be not to list tokens as coins!

Disagree. Biggest problem with datacoin is average Joe cannot store data.

Imagine your neighbour wants to store files. Can you explain how they use datacoin? Wallet does not have storage option. No drag-and-drop app. No web service. Cannot find information on google.

No value adding more blockchain features until datacoin can be used for storage by average Joe.

As I said in my previous post. No wants use it as immutable storage, if it's too complicated to use.

I actually understand why we lost excellent coders for Datacoin!

Everyone wants top of the range software, applications and features, however, the very same people are the first to criticize, complain and whine about the development of Datacoin. None of these supporters or rather (ab)users are willing to put hand in pocket to support the coders nor are they willing to pay for private development of their requirements and then make it available to advance the development of Datacoin.

Anyway, let me leave it at that, I will reevaluate my position in three months time.
