[TEK] TEKcoin Hi-PoS hybrid pos/pow no premine/ipo/ico

[thundertoe]

QtCreator for modding the gui's you can have it set alignment and min max size of fields etc, cant remember if you can do save last size but if default is min size you can set it up to have that be a specific layout. Other ideas for gui modding , add links or  links and info page, add social media buttons. highly Custom skins or mini wallet skin for people just leaving up staking.

i sent word about the richlist bounty and i think its getting worked on right now, price ticker and a minted ticker too maybe?

Alright folks, I am on vacation right now - but what is a vacation without a new wallet release??  

I decided to go ahead and release v1.1 with some minor fixes.  

- Qt 5 update
- new button images
- fixed exe icon
- various bug fixes
- various typo fixes
- added linux binaries
- added premade linux qt .pro file
- renamed exe to Tekcoin-qt because industry standard
- fixed file version to be in sync with release (no more 1.9.1) Note - I fixed this after the linux build


Find the release here https://github.com/presstab/TEK/releases/tag/v1.1
Of course this release is optional for everyone.

The next version (v1.2) will hopefully have a lot of changes to it, so it will maybe take a month or more to put together. I will release some betas along the way for testing though probably.

On the list so far:
- make syncing work (not sure if this is possible yet without the correct source code, but I will try to do research)
- fix GUI to fit Tekcoin logo without pushing the transactions column too far
- fix problem with block count vs estimated block count
- add some additional gui features like recently minted count
- add Mac OS wallet?? (will need other devs to help with this, I don't have a Mac at my disposal)
- continue to tweak the button's look to get them just right
- and possibly more

You can see changes I have made by looking at my commits on github. Coin control, stake weight monitoring, etc.

I can't compile it on Manjaro (it happens a lot to me - Linux is increasingly becoming "Ubuntu"n which is slow as hell compared to the nimble Manjaro, based on Arch). Could you give a link to precompiled binary? Usually, Binaries for Ubuntu work in Manjaro too - it is only compilation that is getting difficult.

I will build with ubuntu and see if I can get you the right files.  If you want you can try the tekcoin-qt-linux.pro that I just put on my github repo.  It removes the windows library locations that chokes up Linux compilations.

Edit - Also keep in mind that if you are working from command line and not looking for GUI, then you will need to build with one of the makefiles in the src directory rather than building the qt client.

Thank you presstab. I will try compiling with you new version. Meanwhile, did you success in compiling on Ubuntu, do you have a precompiled?

i can donate 200 tek for the richlist

I will try compiling 1.1 with the mac see what happens later this evening, not had much success in the past with qt4.2, but will give it a try with the qt5 code.

Yeah look at the release it has a rar attached with both Tekcoin-qt GUI (named Tekcoin) and also tekcoind

See if those work.  I couldn't test out Tekcoin-qt because it is on a remote server, but tekcoind seemed to work but needs the block chain put in manually in order to sync.

One thing missing from all Bitcoin-based altcoins and Bitcoin itself is ability to auto-sum values at "Transactions" tab. If for example transactions are filtered for
address BeozB4YqVWu8YyPLXiGiqVHF5NKE21gnUb I end up with many of them but no easy way to find out sum total. Same happens if user filters transactions
based on a type, date or some combination of filters.



v1.1. looks great, good job!

higher interest rate: yes cent

why was coin created: I had already done the scrypt concept with HBN and Tranz took that over (awesome! i knew it was better off in his hands. looks like i made a good call   ) and wanted to work on the next project along the same lines but push the stake concept more and try sha256.

Why sha? At the time it was in concept and released Asic was just coming down in price enough to put them in a lot of hands,(erupters and blades etc just getting to the price point of massive adoption) and there wasn't many sha coins to pick from(aug/sept).

Energy efficiency has changed since for all the mining gears, however TEKs design is such that the  PoS can move the chain efficiently and keep it secure. If you watch the profitability of mining TEK it almost always stays lower than btc, and if it jumps higher it wont stay long.

TEK doesnt need alot of hashpower to be secure, you cant 51% with hash alone on a PoS coin. You cant lock the chain of tek with large PoW miner drop off, or with a sudden massive increase like a multipool hitting it. Its been done and it was not an issue when it happened.

Thank you Thundertoe for these informations. I did not know you are the one behind HBN. Unfortunately, I cannot compile the wallet and the binaries do not work on Manjaro Linux neither. I resorted to fire up a Windows XP VM.

I would like to get some TEK, I see a great future for this coin. Unfortunately, I am broke at the moment (plus, I do not know where to buy TEK). Any faucet or giveway? If I manage to get some BTC, where could I buy TEK? (found it)
My TEK address is: BZ5TBTR9L5uRL97kqYkvqMyzbhfK4fsojF

Thank you!

(by the way, I already directed someone looking for good coins to TEK)

i am having this issue and i do not know why

the date and transaction are lapping on top of each other

http://prntscr.com/3h8fuj

any idea how to fix it?

[David Latapie]

I find it very strange that there was
1 page in 2013
2 pages in 2014 before april
explosion starting from April 2014

Was this coin lethargic on what? I suspect it is the HBN  investment thread which is responsible for this.

Anyway, since my point is keeping it long term, prices fluctuations do not matter much for me. I am more concerned about why so much people posting.
OTOH, when I see newer coins going sky high then silent in just one month...

Im glad you stuck with it and got your wallet working. No faucet yet,  you can buy at cryptsy.com. your lucky day i just staked a block so i have some coins to share.

[David Latapie]

Thanks. Unfortunately, I could not sync my wallet on Windows despite letting it open the whole night. I since created a tekcoin.conf file on APPDATA\tekcoin with the following informations (I used my mintcoin conf file changed the port commented the def part which made the wallet crash and replace the nodes):

I will wait 30 minutes to see how it goes. Opinion? Notice Windows is in a VM with shared internet connection

Currently there is some bug in the code and new wallet installations can't sync properly.
For the time being you need to download the initial download of the block chain here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0M-bp2HC0eYdXlqc0RQWkFFRnc/edit?usp=sharing
Put that into your appdata folder and start syncing from there (check the OP).

Everyone Unick of blockx.info has agreed to get a block explorer going for us (complete with rich list) if we can get a bounty together of 1500 tek.

We need to get the coins into a wallet to give to him rather than simply pledge it. I created a wallet and sent 500 tek to it, please send what you can. We need a good block explorer immediately if we want our coin to be taken seriously.

i will send 200 tek to the address you provided sometimes today or tomorrow as soon as my wallet stakes

and can you also look at the link i posted for a screenshot on my wallet on how things are lapping?

thanks

[subSTRATA]

No faucet yet,  you can buy at cryptsy.com

Starting post lacks link to Cryptsy TEK page, you should add it and please remove any mention of CoinEX (exchange, mining pool) because they're scam.

Once explorer is up so I can check existing balance on that address I'll send some TEK, unwillingly though since I think 1500 TEK is a ripoff.

You are more than welcome to discuss details with unick.  Seems like 200 something USD seems about right.  The wallet is held by me and I won't do anything suspicious with it.  I would encourage all members of the tek community to give what they can even if it is small.  I already funded 33% of the goal so we should be able to get the difference.  If you want to test the explorer try hbn.blockx.info for the hbn block explorer.  Unick does good work.

[solarion]

I will send 300Tek as soon as they stake(next couple days) to help fund a block explorer & rich list.

Thanks for all your contributions presstab.
