[ANN] Fastcoin - FST - The Fastest coin so far in the market - is launched!!

R.I.P FASTCOIN

[m0gliE]

Just a quickie. The source still has the default RPC port of 9332, which conflicts with Litecoin. Setting the correct default port in the source is much better than forcing it via the config. Perhaps this could be fixed in a future release.

Thanks for catching this, it's been fixed on the 8.7.2 branch.

FST daemon died today (and continues to die on restart attempt) with:

Assertion failed: (internal_key.size() >= , function ExtractUserKey, file ./db/dbformat.h, line 99.

dbformat.h seems to be a leveldb file. I use several other coins which include leveldb, but have never seen this error before.

I really hope there's a simple fix, because Fastcoin took nearly 2 days to sync the first time... and that was WITH the bootstrap!

This is a known bug since the early versions of bitcoin. Generally caused by an improper shutdown or diskspace/ram issues. The solution is to run the daemon with the -reindex command line parameter.

Source: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/2664

Also, if it's taking you that long to sync, then you may have compiled your daemon without the proper libdb version files, or again run the daemon using -reindex.

When was FST added to the exchange AllCrypt?

I'm pretty sure it was there at launch 9 months ago.

[m0gliE]

Fastcoin will also be listed on the Koinyx exchange at launch.

Updated bootstrap.dat as of Dec 29th, 2014.

Archive Mirror - https://archive.org/details/fastcoin_bootstrap (wget compatible)

I've resolved the problem that had caused some users to pull out their hair because of the slow synchronization time. It was caused by a recent blk*.dat file being corrupt prior to creating the bootstrap.dat file.

The new revised bootstrap.dat has been uploaded to both sources below and a full sync up to 3850000 blocks now takes less than 7 hours on the most minimal hardware. 1 CPU core, 512MB Ram, 2GB swapfile, using the following command line perimeter.

Code:

-dbcache=1024

Archive Mirror - https://archive.org/details/fastcoin_bootstrap (wget compatible)

SourceForge  - https://sourceforge.net/projects/fastcoin/files/bootstrap/2014-12-24/

The bug that limited some clients to only 8 connections has also been resolved. Users can now add listen=1 to their fastcoin.conf file enabling the client to accept more incoming connections. It's also suggested to use;

Code:

maxconnections=30
listen=1

More or less depending on the users preference.

Happy Holidays!

I have windows qt wallet v0.8.7.2-unk-beta

I have 2 transactions of 25000 outgoing which are stuck with ?. I tried rescan, I tried to use the raw transaction and another wallet to rebroadcast and it is still stuck. Any ideas how I can get these coins back?

Just export your private keys and import them into a new wallet. The tx could have very well been broadcast into an orphan block is all.

I think Supercoin is faster than Fastcoin.

I think Supercoin is faster than Fastcoin.
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=875651.0

Nope:
12 seconds block target      (Fastcoin) vs. 20 seconds PoS and 90 seconds PoW (Supercoin)
48 seconds tx. confirmation (Fastcoin) vs. 1 minute (Supercoin)
