[NSFW] Official Sexcoin Thread - New MANDATORY upgrade: KGW Timewarp attack FIX

[jytou]

No I was already with 14.04, it's an update that came probably around mid august.
The symptom is that a few seconds after launching the wallet, it sits there doing nothing (0% CPU), as if it was waiting for something (which is confirmed by strace - and ltrace gives a cycle of waiting locks). I've also tried building from scratch with a newly created user (to avoid any user-environment stuff that might interfere) on the same machine - same symptoms.

Have you compiled the client yourself or are you using my packages from http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Ap_conrad%3Acoins&package=sexcoin ?
What's in debug.log?

[niothor]

For one, Sexcoin is not manipulated, yes the price has gone steadily down from its entry to btw pair on cryptsy but it is just gaining a history. A coin that is not a fake and doesn't just come and go.

A history of going down , not that attractive

What makes a coin strong, the development and people behind it.

What Sexcoin needs to be a strong coin? Exactly that, people and development behind it. The core team has not given up on this. But with just a handful of guys keeping the coin alive, any of us will understand it is hard to make any progress.

People means usually more than two

The coin is there, can be mined, the wallets are there and can be used, the stores are there and you can buy sex related items with it. I know I have, and I know of people that have also.

The same usage and the same store(s) as 6 months ago.

What's in debug.log?

I've tried both, with the exact same results. The interesting thing is that I have lots of other wallets on the same machine, and they run just fine. I wonder what is different (what different libraries) that you use that would break it...

[pmconrad]

On my old ubuntu netbook it takes several minutes to start (hangs after "Loading db index... dbenv.open..."), but it comes up eventually. There's not much CPU use during that time, but lots of disk access. It's not significantly slower than other coins IMO.

Library dependencies should all be handled by the packaging system, so unless you deliberately broke them while installing you should be fine.

Again, what's in your debug.log?

Are you using the command line version or the gui version? The biggest difference from most other coin clients code is in the GUI version, which has sound support. I'll try and get a 14 machine up today and see what happens.

Gotcha!
Commented out the contents of PlaySound() in guiutil:cpp: it works now. Not sure what is wrong with my phonon lib then (I noticed there are a few installed on my machine - messing up with qt4 vs qt5 I guess). Thanks for the tip!

Glad you're up and running!

I am VERY curious what is causing the problems though. Do you have both qt5 and qt4 build environments set up? Do you have a backend installed for libphonon? Did you get any build errors or warnings centered around the sound functions? If you have a couple of minutes, let me know.

[jytou]

To be honest, sound is really the least of my concerns (especially if there is a huge moaning sound each time you receive some coins   - just kidding).

More seriously, the wallet is running on a VM that is hosted on a remote machine... from what I've tried just now, playing sounds on any software on the VM is a no-go. They don't freeze, but if I launch lxmusic for instance, I get a bunch of errors in the console (can't even change the volume) and there is no sound coming in (although the sound is set up on the VM, and I do get some sound on the host machine through VNC) so that must be the main reason. But freezing because of lack of sound is definitely not something I would expect from a crypto currency wallet.
Make is only giving a single warning saying that Phonon::MediaSource::MediaSource(const QString&) is deprecated, but I don't believe it's anything related to my problem. Apart from than, when launching the wallet with sound enabled (i.e without commenting PlaySound()) there is no message, no warning, nothing that could give a lead. My guess is that one of the calls to the phonon library never returns and you can't do much about it.

Just an idea: what about playing sounds in a separate thread (i.e. PlaySound would just post in a fifo that a sound-playing thread would poll?)... if the sounds plays, that's fine... if not, well, too bad but let the show go on!

PS: now that you helped me fix it, you have a permanent extra 8MHs on the network competing with you now.

I always moan when I get coins

Yes, I agree. I'm looking into.

I have a build for the android wallet which is ready for alpha testing. DO NOT risk alot of coins on this, but I do believe it to be safe. Make a backup of your keys.
You will need to 'side-load' the apk. If you don't know how to do this, maybe you should wait before trying this out. Please report back any issues you may have.

Get it from github

OR

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pyzfpb081rmqqrh/sexcoinwallet-0.1.0.0-signed-aligned.apk?dl=0

Knows issues:

• The EUR exchange rates are not accurate
• Sometimes the blockchain catchup hangs for more than 3 minutes, close the client and reopen
• Some graphics and translation string still reflect Litecoin
• Some Credits in the 'about' screen still reflect Litecoin

[lavajumper]

I just posted the newest test release of the Sexcoin Android Wallet:

==> Get it from Github ( v0.10.1-alpha )

This has been refactored for sexcoin extensively, and fixes the bug which the Litecoin wallet from GooglePlay detected the Sexcoin wallet as itself.
Most translations have been fixed.

I just posted the newest test release of the Sexcoin Android Wallet :

==> Get it from Github ( v0.10.2-alpha)

This fixes the addressbook and USD exchange rate bug

I am looking for some help solo mining. I have thus far been unable to get it working with any coin / wallet.

I am running windows 7 with 4 Gigs of ram on a dual core pc.

I start the sexcoin-qt wallet with the -server switch.
the wallet updates, and is synced correctly.

If I run a port scanner, it tells me 9560 and 9561 are both open.
If i go in my web browser to my ip address (192.168.1.11) :9561 I get a message that the webpage is not available

If I put in 127.0.0.1:9561 it asks for a username and password.
If I put in the matching information I have in my sexcoin.conf file, and it gives me the following output:

{"result":null,"error":{"code":-32700,"message":"Parse error"},"id":null}

So I point my miner to 127.0.0.1:9561 (any miner... I have tried cgminer BFminer, and multiminer) with the correct username / password combo from my config file and it tells me there is no pool at that address.

If I start mining at another pool, the miners start fine... and will mine for days.
While I am connected to that other pool (whatever it is) in cgminer or BFminer, I hit P for pool management, then a for add pool.
Type in 127.0.0.1:9561 and then the correct usernam and password where prompted, it will connect to my local pool.

While mining like this I found a sexcoin block once (it was orphaned) but it showed it was working for a little while... but my hashrate decreases over a short amount of time.

Within 10 min or so the pool is listed as dead and mining returns to the other pool.


I have tried shutting off antvirus and firewall, different wallets (different coins) forwarding ports on my router to this machine. Setting this machine up in the DMZ... all the different miners I can use... all the same problem.

My hardware is 2 gawminer furys (so I am not expecting too much)
but I was also having no luck running a wallet for sha256 to point my antminer S1s


Any assistance you can offer would be great as I am pulling my hair out...

[spamsucks]

Correction... I can mine with my antminers locally. I am testing with bigbullion now and its up and running stable for 10 min. Now to do the same with scrypt

are you getting many peers on your sxc client? can you link your sxc config file
