any working pool bros ?

Not working for me

[techbytes]

I'm on there along with someone else and found 21 blocks already.  What is not working?

Point your miner to :  stratum+tcp://cap.cryptopools.com:3362 -u (Cap address) -p (anything)

Does noot sync!

Add to your conf

addnode=cap.nodes.btcrypt.net:7685

and it will sync. I've updated it to the latest version flound did above.

Connected to 39 peers at the moment.

Hi sheffters. I have added this as a dns node. I was able to get connected and sync'd using this without anything else. 

However there are a few things. When I do a nslookup I only see one address. It should be many addresses.  See below

Yours:

Code:

nslookup cap.nodes.btcrypt.net

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    cap.nodes.btcrypt.net
Address:  87.106.246.28

Here is hbns:

Code:

nslookup seed.hobonickels.info

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    seed.hobonickels.info
Addresses:  162.243.251.173
          176.31.250.94
          5.39.90.17
          5.249.152.30
          24.93.183.133
          71.91.14.102
          82.146.37.116
          84.45.63.205
          98.232.23.64

Your peer did supply me with other peers. About 2,000 worth. So I would be good for the future, but better for the dns node to point to other peers address right away. Anyway it is working for now, so thanks!

Also if anyone wants to be a dns node, it would be good. 3 or 4 is a good number to keep the network healthy.

do you have a link handy to how to set this up?

PT is the man with these. PressTab care to share the best method for creating a dns-node?

PT is the man with these. PressTab care to share the best method for creating a dns-node?

I do it the manual way, I am sure there is a more efficient solution.  What I did was created a few different subdomains and then for each subdomain I assigned 5-7 a-records to the domain with a peer that I see connected to the network. Then look through the list every once in a while and update it.

I am guessing there is a better way to automatically update the a-records, but I don't really have the know how or have the domain hosted on a server that the a-records can be changed without getting into cpanel.

I don't know if that helps much, again I used the simple manual way.

I have bottlecaps.org maybe we should get seed.bottlecaps.org going.

Edit - I have 6 nodes on seed.bottlecaps.org right now.

For ~20 minutes it just said 'waiting for work' after connecting so failover would kick in and put me on another pool.  Whatever the cause was it is now working well.

Maybe something like that one https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-seeder ?

I can host a dns node on my servers but have no skill to modify this software for the coin.

I also stumbled upon that, I'll give a look to see if this can be used.

If someone already modified it for some alt coin, please share, it will save us some time

Looks like I'm back playing Fallout 2 ;]

One of the best games in my life!!! Stimpack

[tokyoghetto]

A fan-made "fallout" game using CAPS as the in-game currency would be pretty slick IMO.

[Nthused]

Leaving the Vault, 101, walking towards the light
With a stimpak for the stats, Bottlecaps for the cash
Then I open up the V.A.T.S for the rats !

[Hilux74]

If you want to go full on Fallout maybe we should mix in a Radiation algo to add a game aspect to the wallet 

Eg. POS% increases with time but with each pos mined block your radiation level increases...as your radiation level increases there is an increasing chance your POS mined blocks are actually destroyed along with an equal amount from your stake.  So you have to decide when to take a dose of RADX (a button in the wallet...) that resets your POS reward% and your radiation level to 0.

Do you go hardcore and go for the big risky rewards or play it safe and stay at lower but safe rewards.

That actually sounds pretty cool! But I am not sure off hand how you could enforce it. As you can just combine your blocks after they stake to a different address.  But I guess that would be the same as  just hitting the RADX button.

Anyway something to think about..
