Bottlecaps 2.1 UPDATE REQUIRED - HARDFORK JULY 4 2014 to 200% Annual PoS

[presstab]

I am just happy that the title still warns us about the 2014 hard fork.

I am just happy that the title still warns us about the 2014 hard fork.

It's like a monument to remember a better time.

[GoldTiger69]

Has anyone had any luck building the wallet on ARM eg: RPi or OPi?
 
I attempted to build using the git source, and altering the makefile.unix by removing the sse2 instructions. But it still fails, assuming because I'm missing the "scrypt-arm.S" file. Creating this file or migrating from another project is beyond my ability.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Ideas?

This is the guide I used and it worked for me:

Thanks again to Hilux74!

RPI2 wallet was released some time ago in binary form, read back a couple pages (also quoted below):

Evening all,

Fuzzbawls shared RPi binaries for BottleCaps-qt AND the bottlecapsd. 

If you appreciate it here is his BottleCaps address = Et4a2FrRzRxC4RAh88haNag3UaFFubyaPo

Thanks Fuzzbawls!

Got a successful stake on the RPi2

Here is the link to the binaries:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-oIh2h7uqLSakE4c0llTmhCYlU

Included in the file is the BottleCaps-qt AND the bottlecapsd binaries, statically compiled for use on Raspbian Wheezy or Raspbian Jessie (RPi2 intended target). They MAY work on a RPi1 or RPi3, but as I don't have such hardware myself, I cannot verify.

As noted previously, the rather large size of the CAP blockchain may result in inherent instability of the program when running on any SBC platform. Users should monitor and make frequent backups of their wallet.dat files (which is general good practice for any coin wallet on any platform).

RPi2 Binaries were compiled using OpenSSL 1.0.2d, BerkeleyDB 4.8.30, and Qt 5.4.2. UPNP disabled

Raspbian Jessie has seen some updates that aren't included in the default image that seem to have fixed the instability issues I was previously having. These aren't "extra" packages, but newer/fixed versions of the packages that are installed by default on a base system.

Users of Raspbian Jessie should ensure that their packages/system are updated if they are experiencing any stability problems with the wallet.

The same may hold true for Raspbian Wheezy, but I have yet to do extensive testing on that platform (especially since Wheezy is becoming older)

Just wanted to chime in myself and state that the files produced from my RPi2 binaries are completely portable with other binary distributions of the BottleCaps wallet. Though if you have followed previously mentioned steps to self-compile, you are probably running with bdb5.x (in which case your blockchain and wallet files are NOT compatible)

It seems like that was the time where GPU scrypt mining ruled the scene and coins like Litecoin were valued at $50 each, I think I remember seeing CAPs on Cryptsy at one stage with the price of 0.00044000 satoshi per coin, now scrypt coins are 1 satoshiers in general.

Hey, thanks. This wouldn't come up in my searches. I'll build this tonight

I was able to build the wallet successfully, and sync the blocks. But I get an error about the Checkpoint being too old:

Code:

}

With that said. I attempted a solo mining test, and I get these errors:

Code:

Any ideas on whats happening?

I was able to build the wallet successfully, and sync the blocks. But I get an error about the Checkpoint being too old:

https://github.com/Tranz5/bottlecaps/archive/2.2.2.0.zip

OK that's odd. I built from the github code and only ended up with 2.2.0.

Time to rebuild I guess.

Thanks

I swear I cloned the current git. I don't know what happened. Either way, it's building now.

Heh, yup. All built. Does anyone know if you can mine from several hosts to a single wallet? It's been about 2 years since I touched this stuff.

iSpace features CAP for POS mining

Further explain from this point?

I'm about on the same timeframe for forgetting the hands-on aspects of mining. For anything scrypt I ususally include DOGE in my search strings; Shibe tend to be prolific content creators. If nobody chimes in i'll see what I can track down or maybe give a solo setup a shot myself.

Thanks for explanations! Will try soon.

the 2.2.2 qt wallet i'm running on windose is creakingly slow.
are there no longer any active developers for this coin?

cant even find an 'official' website for this coin.

The wallet is a memory hog and syncs very slowly. There's a blockchain download a few pages back, that would get you synced a bit faster.
 
I don't think there ever was an official site.

so, no developers then?

Tranz5 is the main dev for the coin now. There isn't really anything that needs changing or fixing right now.

Here is the Github: https://github.com/Tranz5/bottlecaps/

He also handles HoboNickels.

[Belligerent Fool]

Is Bottlecaps still minable or have all the pools closed down ?

I see there is a maximum amount of coins that can be awarded per stake, is that to limit the annual inflation rate or have I misread ?
