[DVC]DevCoin - Official Thread - Moderated

[.cryptic.]

The Alcurex market seems to have dried up, and SafeCex is basically offline (or at least a lot of its wallets are offline) for the foreseeable future. Vircurex is no longer taking deposits. Are there any other exchanges that carry Devcoin?

Any idea how many coins were lost with Cryptsy?

I'm using:

Devcoin version v0.8.5.1-g25a7d46-beta

The latest one on the site. I got almost fully synched last night and then it got invalid blocks again and won't start, .

Try to remove block chain, leave only wallet.dat and devcoin.conf (make a backup of wallet.dat, if it has the money)
In devcoin.conf write:

Code:

rpcuser=devcoinrpclogin
rpcpassword=devcoinrpcpassword
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=52332
irc=0
connect=199.192.77.162:52333
connect=82.200.205.30:52333
connect=69.197.61.58:52333

Do not write "addnode", write "connect".
"connect =" - connection is possible only to a specified node.
"addnode =" - a node that connects to your wallet sends the entire list of nodes. Among them may be nodes with incorrect block chain
After synchronization can be rewritten to "addnode".
_{Sorry, my English is very far from perfect.}

Will try with your settings. And I've been deleting everything but wallet.dat. It always locks up on one specific block and throws error after error: 167999

Trying another fresh start with your .conf now, will report back, .

Not sure what to do. I used your exact settings, fresh directory (even wallet), hit the same exact block and errored out due to orphans. Re-tried on a system that never even had Devcoin on it before, same block, same errors.

When I hit that block and restart the wallet, it always errors out with "Can't connect to best block." And the log is full of orphans.

In the process of setting up a new wallet, noticed that many of the links from the DevTome Official Main Page have been highjacked or have gone down perhaps?

What is the current status of DevCoin itself? Any development or marketing going on?

Hello Community!

Can somebody help me? I posted this on devcointalk.org but the forum rarely moves nowadays.

I just changed my coin address on my Devtome user page; when/ how will it become effective? This is because I installed the Devcoin wallet on a new comp and consequently generated a new address. I understand it doesn't happen automatically because the last time I tried, coins were being sent to the old address, on a comp I won't be using any more. The admin who signed me up was known as DINKLEBERG (and Penguinwriter for my user page) and I don't know if they're still available here on anywhere else. I'll be grateful to know who I can contact about it. Thanks in advance.

You realize that you can bring over your old wallet.dat file from your old computer to the new one and continue using the same address, correct?

Seems to be steady as it goes. Writers still getting paid for contributions to DevTome, sponsored Open Source programmers still receiving payments, etc.. With the price much lower interest has lessened to be sure.

No Nova, I didn't know that, thanks a lot. I'll try.

Where is the source for the latest devcoin daemon that pools should use? Have there been any recent versions since 80501?

Thanks, that's what I'm running. I get this error when starting devcoind:

Downloading receiver_0.csv base file /tmp/.devcoin/receiver/receiver_0.csv

Number of pages in getCommonOutputByText: 5
Number of identical pages in getCommonOutputByText: 4

No coin addresses were found, there may be something wrong with the receiver_x.csv files.

It then fails to start. Looking at receiver.csv it shows the following mirrors:

http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/receiver.csv
http://devcoinpool.btc-music.com/receiver/receiver.csv
http://devcoinblockexplorer.info/receiver/receiver.csv
http://devtome.com/files/receiver.csv
http://devcoin.darkgamex.ch/receiver.csv

These all appear to be offline or 404. Where are receiver files these days?

[IconFirm]

You can grab them here:

http://devcoin.darkgamex.ch/

I have mine in a folder named "receiver" in the data directory. Sometimes the csv files don't update properly, so I have to download the latest file # manually then restart the wallet.....old code I suppose.

Hello,

I'm not receiving any shares for several days.
I had difficulties to sync with the latest blocks.
As it was an old version I updated and added the nodes but it was the same (by downloading the entire blockchain again).
Coins in and out seem to work.
Yet I'm up to date.
Can someone help me there please ?

Regards,

Flam.

I just opened my wallet and found the exact same thing. No mined shares since June 10. What's up?

DVC is still one of the best alt coins yet created, it had a real purpose that was 'good', I really hope it continues!!

One of the main requirements for devcoin to function is the hosting of the receiver files. Each time a block is solved a 'call' goes to the receivers so as to determine distribution to recipients addresses. There are 7 receivers hosted and (I believe) that 5 out of 7 need to be hosted for devcoin to work/blocks to proceed. Feel free correct me if I am wrong.

I host receivers at http://show-me-the-devcoin.info/devtome/ and am current. Hosting the files is not cheap, or at least wasn't when the big mining pool merge mined dvc. There were so many calls to the receivers I had to upgrade my bandwidth considerably as my site went down. Not sure how it is working now in regards to bandwidth post merge mining with big pools. My site is pretty crap but it's only there for the receiver files.

But the achilles heel with dvc is that if the receivers aren't hosted that the blocks won't be solved. Above post mentioned 404's on some of the receivers which suggests they haven't been updated. If it isn't syncing (mine isn't) then most likely the last receiver hasn't been uploaded enough times.

The last message to host/upgrade the receivers from Unthinking bit from http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/receiver_59.csv was May 27, and there is a lag until they are required. My guess is that not enough receivers have been uploaded, the lag time has passed, and the blocks aren't being solved.

In that case, I'm part of the problem. Crazy busy three weeks and didn't get my file uploaded in a timely fashion. I just uploaded it now. Hopefully anyone else procrastinating will do the same. Thanks for the explanation.

OK, tried to open my wallet this morning and got an error message saying "failed to connect best block." When I click OK, it just closes the wallet loading. What do I do?

Thought it was just me, when setting up my wallet recently.
