I'll definitely be setting up a copy of this!

Nice!!

Could we get a list of dependencies and config instructions?

[j0nn9]

Nice!!

Could we get a list of dependencies and config instructions?

dependent libraries are:

Code:

bzip2-1.0.6
curl-7.42.1
file-5.22        (libmagic)
jansson-2.7
libmicrohttpd-0.9.42
openssl-1.0.2a
protobuf-2.6.1
sqlite-3.8.8.3

You can probably compiler DTCBrowser with different library versions, but the ones above, are the ones which were used to build the binaries.

for bzip2 just run:

Code:

make

for libmicrohttpd run:

Code:

./configure --without-gnutls
make

for curl run:

Code:

./configure --disable-ftp \
            --disable-ldap \
            --disable-file \
            --disable-ldaps \
            --disable-rtsp \
            --disable-proxy \
            --disable-dict \
            --disable-telnet \
            --disable-tftp \
            --disable-pop3 \
            --disable-imap \
            --disable-smb \
            --disable-smtp \
            --disable-gopher \
            --disable-manual \
            --disable-sspi  \
            --disable-ntlm-wb   \
            --disable-tls-srp \
            --disable-cookies \
            --disable-soname-bump \
            --without-zlib \
            --without-winssl \
            --without-darwinssl  \
            --without-ssl \
            --without-gnutls  \
            --without-polarssl \
            --without-cyassl \
            --without-nss  \
            --without-axtls  \
            --without-libssh2 \
            --without-winidn \
            --without-libidn \
            --without-librtmp
make

for the rest I think:

Code:

./configure
make

should do it

I setup a DTCBrowser demo at: http://104.131.69.82:8080

But, since DTCBrowser is designed for local usage I won't keep that up very long.

[j0nn9]

If you running DTCBrowser in testnet mode, the main website can be found here: http://localhost:8080/dtc/get/557d6d7ad790ce4e392235fa50741b9a626a74290624cf69a5d2a8e2db9c9c15

Very nice to see some real activity in this thread

True :-)

Datacoin up 30 places on cmc since yesterday!

It would be very interesting if the Datacoin Browser had an EDIT facility, where a transaction could be indicated as an "edit" of a previous transaction.  In that way the browser could show updated versions of transactions and their files.  Then the raw data on the blockchain could be shown as newspapers, tweets, social media posts etc.  All uncensorable.

This would effectively implement the "sidechains" that oocook5u talked about.

EDIT:  Oops, I see this is already part of the envelope rules (#4).

Yes, updates are already possible. Datacoin Browser currently shows the newest valid update if you request the original tx (or any tx in the update chain).

One of my planned features includes an history function.
Something like:

Code:

/dtc/lsrpc/listhistory/TXHASH
/dtc/lsrpc/gethistory/TXHASH

Which lets you access a specific update (or the original tx)

Hi guys, been out for a while but I'm back for the second BTC coming . Is mining DTC with CPU still feasible??

[j0nn9]

Hi guys, been out for a while but I'm back for the second BTC coming . Is mining DTC with CPU still feasible??

It should be, difficult is still be around 9.3, but you have to go solo, since there are no more cpu pools available.

Is CPU mining worth it though? i thought GPU mining was possible for dtc which is why i never bothered with my CPU or am i off base here?

GPU mining is possible for Datacoin, but the difficulty is still so low that you can make several Datacoins a day with a fast CPU.

I've got quite a handsome bag of DTC to sell at 3000 satoshi. Message if interested. Accepting BTC, LTC, UNO in return.

I'd like to implement some DTC Android stuff but I'm not sure of the best way to get DTC functionality without downloading the whole blockchain.  Of course it could just connect to nodes running the full DTC wallet, but then how would Android clients get a list of nodes without relying on a centralized node?  Any ideas?

[AtomSea]

Current nodes active:

218.24.154.38:4777
80.74.157.31:4777
144.76.123.194:4777
92.222.37.29:4777

Long live Datacoin!

Long live the Blockchains!

Nice but any coder to takeover this coin - coins can't live without development
