[ANN] MemoryCoin

[Vorksholk]

Memorycoin for windows keeps dying on launch for me.

[stas]

start it, while mining is disabled.
let it synchronize first.
Than restart it while mining is enabled

[Eli0t]

having it start mining (by default) before loading the wallet is a bad idea, not only if you just want to send funds and the time it takes to startup but any blocks found will be orphaned when the client finally syncs (happened to me)

so what do you suggest on doing?

[torbank]

why the hashespersec = 0?

Here is a small patch for this.

Immediately after line 4873 of main.cpp, add this line:

         nHashesDone++;

Re-run the make file and you should now have a non-zero hashespersec.

 You could try starting up by clicking directly on the .exe file rather than the start.bat file.

Once it's synchronized, on the debug window, type

setgenerate true

having it not start mining by default would be better, people who want to mine can turn it on again
i never started it with the bat

Is it typical for "bitcoind" to take 100% cpu of a single core while downloading the blockchain?

This is on linux btw... whats the current block count?

[halibit]

rl3 Looks better. I have mined about 10 blocks 

[Sondey10mg]

This coin is really hard to mine. It takes literally hours to load the bitcoind and download the blockchain..

I think he made the hashing algorithm so hard that even verifying work takes forever....

[halibit]

Verifying is slow endeed.
I got sync and verifying faster putting these nodes.

addnode 180.183.205.59 add
addnode 71.187.248.95 add
addnode 97.89.174.206 add
addnode 211.75.183.176 add
addnode 209.190.27.90 add
addnode 46.229.50.42 add
addnode 65.61.116.102 add
addnode 46.98.142.139 add
addnode 142.55.148.72 add
addnode 180.183.156.19 add

Don't know which one works, but I have 5 connections to the network.

[EnJoyThis]

Quite quick after launching the mining I found a block
Date: 5-8-2013 22:56

But after this one no new blocks were found.
Quite hard to mine, and quite some trouble setting it all up.

Will come back in a day or so and see how it all evolved.

its just verifying at startup? wow it was working so hard i thought it was mining

yeah takes a couple of minutes for it too verify the last blocks in the chain before starting up and making connections.

What's you hashespersec, what cpu, how many blocks did you find?

[erem]

I have a following problem: it dowloads all the data, starts mining and mines for few blocks then it stops downloading new blocks. It looks like it loses connection, but there is always 4 connections in the debug window. When restarted everything is OK, but looks I can't live it overnight.

anyone get multi-threading in linux to work? I can compile/run, but then cannot connect to the server via the daemon command. Very odd

ok it seems like deleting my .memorycoin folder fixed this. However, only 1 CPU core is being used ?

Are you using the multithread branch from github?
