Official Anoncoin Information, FAQ & Description thread. I2P/Tor explained [Mod]

[meeh]

Trying to send some Anoncoins and I have been waiting for one confirmation for over an hour. Doing some reading on the anoncoin.net forums and it looks like there may be a problem with the new client? How do I get some confirmations to get my coins out of limbo here?

How many connections do you have? - and please continue this in chat thread.

Thanks for the settings.
I am getting another error while trying to run Abe using this command  " python -m Abe.abe --config abe-my.conf --commit-bytes 100000 --no-serve " :

Code:

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 187, in __init__
    super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs2)
TypeError: keywords must be strings

Here is my configuration for MYSQL in abe-my.conf file

Code:

# MySQL example; see also README-MYSQL.txt:
dbtype MySQLdb
connect-args {'user':'abe','db':'abe','password':'XBKvkmIRWz5P'}
upgrade
port 2750

use " not '

I did. Still shows the same.

I'm gonna check the config at my server after dayjob, please PM me if I forget it. And ofc reward you for designing

As said in the chat thread:

Many has wondered and asked about whats Anoncoin going to do when v2 of zerocoin is released, if it's gonna affect it's development, etc etc etc. And it's not time effective to answer one at a time

I will write a blog entry about it, where I will answer where,what,when,why and hopefully the rest of w's :p

We're about to release a new site as well. I'll get back to you in short time! Also, I think Matthew is going to give a talk on Monday at New York City College, so I think I post the blog entry after that, in case he says anything that could become a question.

It has been brought to our attention that the pool anc.usr.io is under new management, and they are _not_ paying out requested withdrawals for an extended period. Find yourself another pool or you risk losing coins.

thats why ppl should use p2pool. technology cant be flawed by some administrator/stupid-human-being

Somehow I just knew that post would come

[geekz]

Two small bugs i have found in windows client.

1. When i copy transaction id by right clicking any transaction in transaction details in Anoncoin Client , it adds "-000" in the end.
2. When i change I2P setting of the client , it says , "This setting will take effect after restarting Bitcoin." It should be Anoncoin.

I finally understood that , Its really not easy to get a php based blockchain exprloer up and running..

Here is what i have achieved till now : http://95.85.62.252/index.php/block/fce58f21e2e55d48cfb53e25f55023772bbc960f7cf26930b51a0ae551a0f445

Currently it gets data from mysql database. I think we can get abe to update data in background and use php to display frontend.
But there is a lot of data thats missing.. Like difficulty..

Can you please help me with formula for difficulty calculation of anoncoin?
I would also like to know whats the scrypt parameters for Anoncoin. for example ,  for Litecoin , its N = 1024, r = 1 , p = 1 and salt is same as input. 

Looking forward to answers.

Awsome! It's the same, we use N = 1024, r = 1 , p = 1 as well

I finally learnt python and completed the design.
unfortunately , i am having issues setting up it in my server.  But the new design is ready.
Will provide update soon.   

[geekz]

Finally , Here the link to new blockchain design : http://95.85.62.252:2750/chain/Anoncoin
Still making a lot of improvements in it.
I couldn't get it working with fastcgi and python. So , now its running just on python.  But this can be implemented with fastcgi in any server for high traffic.

Feel free to give feedback on design.

[geekz]

I have created following function to calculate block reward. Please verify and let me know , if its as per specification.
Block reward calculation function :

def block_reward(blocknumber):
    if blocknumber < 77777 :
        return 7
    else:
        return 5 / (2 ** int((blocknumber + 1) / 306600))

Please support development of new design for blockchain explorer of anoncoin with your donations ( demo url : http://95.85.62.252:2750  )..
I want to add more features to it and i also want to launch it a new domain with a dedicated server if possible.
