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

[cazze]

Hey all, I am going to start focusing on wallet development for other coins.  Hope you enjoy the wallet TEK has!  Any build/source code questions should be directed towards thundertoe.  Keep on staking 

Will you release it as 1.3 ?

There are still a few things left that would need to be done before I would feel comfortable releasing it out to the public. Also I would like to focus on a coin that I can be considered the official developer for, instead of having someone get the glory and the final say for the coin.  I would be happy to continue to work on TEK because I have become so intricately familiar with the source code, but again I am not going to waste my time.

One of the most known members of the community (~8,000 twitter followers) is encouraging me to throw a community led coup d'etat and officially take over TEK making thundertoe nothing more than a cheerleader.  One of the beauties of an open source coin is that it is really the community's choice what happens, not a single centralized person.  I have had several respectable members of the community contact me and tell me not to get involved in TEK because of thundertoe.

I am not particularly interested in getting in a dramatic battle for developer status for TEK, especially with someone that I have heard a lot of horror stories about.  So for now, you will have to get thundertoe to make any needed changes to the code and to compile and release a new version of the wallet.

If you want to discuss it in more detail, send me a PM and we can talk privately.    

Man sorry to hear this . Thundertoe and You are cool guys . I don't see what's all this ball busting for fame and glory since it's open source and 0% premine . In this crypto world we live by collaborations and open up decisions . I do think Thundertoe implied himself in TEKcoin as much as you did lately and we all did . That's why coins don't have just 1 DEV , they have a dev team .... . But if you like solo then good luck with your future projects man and hope you will come by here from time to time . It is a project with potential .

+1

Here it wasn't a dev team it was a dev dream team :-) Good luck presstab with your future projects. You're always welcome to come back and have a chat with us. No hard feelings.

Hello Spirey Introduced me to this coin and I will download the wallet today. I would love to promote it and blog and also troll it on Poloniex. This coin should be on Poloniex. Any little bounties going let me know. Unfortunately my cryptsy account got hacked so I will have to try get a new account before I can buy any. So if I can earn some coins would be great.

Shouldn't be on polo, no point in making it vulnerable to a bunch of Pump and Dumpers, trolling on trollbox will gain more bad things than good things, promoting it on a blog would be good though.

WIN!

1500TEK

Could you clarify what we must do to enter that raffle? What is the deadline for entering, when will a winner be picked and how exactly? Can we use
online wallets to send payment or local wallet (ownership of private keys) is neccessary?

I accept coinpayments right now but if youd like to pay with another coin manually, let me know. I would suggest using the wallet with coinpayments as your payment can easily time out otherwise.  The 72 hour raffle countdown will begin when the threshold for entries is reached. Thanks, Good Luck

well, today I decided to power up some of my old rigging again.
I may get the whole lot back online soon, and it'll be mining TEK. For now I've powered up 2x BFL singles... just for the heck of it

I starting thinking about a info-graphic after talking to a few TEK fans.  Spirey linked me to https://magic.piktochart.com and i started this one

Hey guys,
I'm trying to build 1.2 wallet on Ubuntu 14.04 and running into some compilation errors.

You might not have miniupnp installed. Try qmake "USE_UPNP=0" tekcoin-qt-linux.pro

It appears I needed libminiupnpc-dev as well. With this I was able to compile with UPNP support. Thanks so much for your help.
And for anyone interested, here are the exact steps I took:

Build instructions for Qt4 GUI tekcoin wallet on Ubuntu 14.04
-------
Ubuntu has an officially maintained personal package archive (PPA) for Bitcoin wallet. Add this repository by entering these following commands in a terminal window:
   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
   sudo apt-get update

Install required packages for Qt4 development:
   apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \
   libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options1.54-dev libboost-thread-dev \
        libssl-dev libdb4.8++-dev miniupnpc libminiupnpc-dev

Download the source files from presstab's repository and extract them.

Navigate to the source folder and execute the following commands:
   qmake "USE_UPNP=1" tekcoin-qt-linux.pro
       make

An executable file named `tekcoin-qt` will be built.

For those interested, here are the necessary packages to build the wallet with QT 5:
         apt-get install qt5-qmake libqt5gui5 libqt5core5 libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev-tools

Info graphic, great idea I like it.

What version of OS X are the Mac users running who have managed to get the wallet to work? I've had to resort to using a Win7 VM and use the TEK wallet from there, which I'm not too delighted about... The Mac wallet crashes on Mavericks as soon as it's loaded...

Weird... that's the version I'm running... Did you have to do anything special to get it working?

it sticks at the hard fork - simply restart the wallet and it should sync up nicely.

I haven't even got that far... It crashes immediately after starting, giving me this in the report:

I probabaly just missed it, but I can't seem to find the diff retarget specs. Help a brother out?

Reason: I'm learning how to set up MPOS. It wants to know

Retargets every block

Thank you, sir!

if you find a nice config for it with NOMP, please share :-) I wasn't able to use NOMP with MPOS for TEK :-(

Well, I'm in the process right now. But I had it working on a test rig a couple days ago, reading the network and such. Didn't connect a miner to it at that point, cuz I managed to hose up some other things. Shoot me a PM, and I may be able to help.

I am sorry you feel that way, i hope you have a nice day.

I'm a bit taken aback by this. I thought all was well betwixt you guys.

I don't know who's slingin' shit, and honestly don't care, but I am going to say that both of you gentlemen have been very good to me when I had (sometimes stupid) questions. TEK is my favorite coin, and was even before Presstab's improved wallet. What he brought to the table was quite nice, and what you had already accomplished was very cool as well.

I can see the desire to have your own deal. That part makes sense, but WTF with the personal shit?

Hello I am qiwoman but my account got compromised so had to open a new one.. I want to download the wallet for staking soon is it o.k now? Also blog post and Chinese translation coming your way in next few days.

I am going to try this coin out.  It sounds interesting. I wonder how hard it is to use the source code.

If you're talking compiling it for linux, easy. I'm not a programmer, but if you have all the bitcoin dependencies installed to current, it's make -f makefile.unix then sit and wait for a few minutes.


If you're talking about modifying the code, I have no clue
