[ANN] Datacoin - Censorship-Free Data Storage

[minerja]

in the last couple of weeks i have lots about 30,000 DTC in various transfers...

Status: 0/unconfirmed

You may well not have lost the coins if the transactions haven't been broadcast and confirmed.

Backup your wallet, then close the client and restart it with the options -rescan -zapwallettxes=2

i like the chainz.cryptoid.info one where i can check block height, and check peers....

No-one renewed the subscription, so they removed the service.

Cheers

Hi Graham,

Thanks for the assist.
Took this long to rescan / resync, but the missing coins are sorted.

Thankyou

I dont understand the bytest explorer at all, i like the chainz.cryptoid.info one where i can check block height, and check peers....

Edit: Ah, yes there is: https://www2.bytestamp.net/blocks/index but it doesn't provide the list of recently-seen nodes that the chainz explorer used to.

Peers support added.

Here it is:

https://www.bytestamp.net/peers

Or, you can select DataCoin Block Explorer and then select Peers

Thank you Mr Higgins!

Thank you Mr Higgins!

Slightly jumping the gun there, I wasn't ready to announce the release.

Users of Windows and OSX 0.8 clients should back up their wallets and save a copy of the datadir directory before attempting an upgrade. The new 0.16.3 client won't load 0.8 wallets, you'll need to import your privkeys by hand. Edit: okay, it does successfully load 0.8 wallets but still do the backup, anyway (always backup the datadir before attempting to upgrade the client). I'm still testing whether the Crossverse 0.15.99 wallets will load. Edit: Meh, had to abandon that, won't compile under 18.04 and just not worth the effort to fix, if the 0.16.3 client can load 0.8 wallets it should also load 0.15.99 wallets okay.

(I have to run the 0.8 and the 0.15.99 wallets on an Ubuntu 18.04 VM because neither can be successfully compiled on contemporary Linux distros due to issues with non-backward compatibility of support libraries).

Happily mining away.

Network difficulty at 8.84.  I solved my first block for a reward of 12.76DTC.

I want to see if I configure a Javascript program correctly and store it in the Datacoin blockchain if I will be able to run it in my browser off the Datacoin blockchain.

Mining reward does not show in pending or final balance.  But reward mined message (hammer) is shown.

I downloaded the wallet, but unable to mine with it.
The wallet is closing, Ryzen 1600
Wallet not full synchronized yet.

What you peoples using to mine.

I have be able to mine with the GPU and the pool.

But it very complicated, many broked/dead link,
Not updated.

This projet is still moving foward?
Team?
Roadmap?

Thanks

Can't mine if wallet not synced.

You omitted to say what OS and GPU card you're using.

eXtremal's xpmminer works with dtc.graymines.net https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=831708.msg57002698#msg57002698

Thank!

I added x3 GTX980 for testing.
Working fine getting about  142/day each.

Can the storage of 128kb be updated to a higher level like 1024kb or 2048kb ?

I try to see what purpose this coin can fill. Seem very limited at 128kb

The data transport mechanics are up to you.
If you want to send a megabyte in 8 parts, then you segment the payload into 128KiB sized pieces and write it to the chain.
After it has been enscribed, then the chunks may be re-assembled into their more useful format.

Small TX limits are helpful to promote swift propagation throughout the network.

Not sure to understand you, did you mean faster blockchain at 128kb, but big file are writen on multi TX ?

What I mean is -- when you broadcast a transaction with 128KiB of data within it you will want the TX distributed through the network so it can easily be included by miners in the next block.
A limit of 128KiB makes it possible for even the most limited peers to be able to verify and relay the transaction in a relatively short period of time.

big file are writen on multi TX ?

The "how to" is up to you. Think of it like splitting a file into multiple chunks where part 1of8 is in one transaction and part 2of8 is in another transaction.
In this way you are able to spread a large upload across multiple transactions.

If you're familiar with Usenet and the alt.binaries newsgroups, it would be similar to seeing a nice large upload split across dozens of posts.

I see. Well I have to past on this crypto coin investissement. "Limite peer" mindset, "much limited files size" and up to you, equal no users adoption in my book. Good luck to you all.

Now I know why they don't have the Engineering guys running the Sales department.

Now I know why they don't have the Engineering guys running the Sales department.

Was a lost cause from the beginning.

This person arrived with a negative judgemental attitude, was trying to mine with an unsynced wallet and exhibiting the typical demanding impatience of someone looking for free internet money and not finding it:

I downloaded the wallet, but unable to mine with it.
...
Wallet not full synchronized yet.
...
I have be able to mine with the GPU and the pool.
...
But it very complicated, many broked/dead link,
Not updated.
...
This projet is still moving foward?
Team?
Roadmap?

Not exactly a great loss to the community.
