[ANN][Datacoin] Datacoin blockchain start announcement (Minor code upd + logo)

[maxsolnc]

@Gontxi : as I understood, you can use only OP miner now, and other miners for primecoin if you make some changes to them

Hmmmmm... i has trying to use cgminer
No problem...

no way for cgminer, it is XPM algo used here

@ahmed_bodi:
and what is the purpose of such spamming? People without big HDDs can keep their money in online or exchange wallets. And people who  have profit from this coin can simply buy HDD. If you spend $100 (0.2 BTC right now ) you can buy storage enough for 10 years.

the point is its a flaw in the coin, people can do such a thing and by putting coins on an exchange/webwallet increases centralization

Just remember that it is not 'just coin', it is storage - look into OP post, he positions storage as main purpose of the coin. If you want to support decentralized storage - this coin is a good choice, because you can get some profit from giving for rent your HDD. What is another way to create decentralized storage except storing rather large pieces of data on independent computers?

I'm trying to connect 3 miners to datacoin but dont work

my datacoin.conf:

Code:

rpcuser=USER
rpcpassword=PASSWORD
server=1
rpcallowip=*.*.*.*
rpcport=80
listen=1
gen=0

Anyone with the same problem?

you are using the hp version ... compile the normal one for that

[cryptohunter]

do you have to send coins to send data also or can you just send data?  who has sent some files with this already?

[maxsolnc]

Difficulty still near 8, and new blocks are being created much more slowly than ~12 hours ago. Seems that network stabilizes well.

[extro24]

How was this done in the coding?  Any new script versions created?

Can you also send messages with this coin?

Thanks oocook5u.  This is an idea whose time has come.  A real use for cryptocurrencies.

[bitdraw]

are there any services/tools planned already supporting this concept/coin ?

It is very good that info could be added to blockchain in very simple way (just bash script). So, for example, we need little bash script to get all magnet links from Pirate Bay and but all of them into blockchain (of course in multiple blocks), etc etc etc. No complex app is needed for that

[cryptohunter]

where is the dev? anyone heard anthing from him since?

[cryptrol]

Another dev that tries to pull a Satoshi ?
Hello ? This only worked for Bitcoin.

[goldbishop]

guys...are blocks getting mined very sloow or it's only a my flash? :O

I sent him a PM - hopefully he will answer. But anyway it is very good coin concept, its code is open, and if he doesn't answer in some days - we can continue developing. There is a lot inherited from PrimeCoin, so development can be parallel.

[antp1114]

Just curious, since its only cpu, whats everyones primes per second?

[oocook5u]

As a concept at least, I think this coin will be pretty cool when there are tools for attaching/retrieving/browsing files all built in to the client. if I understood the developer's ideas

You can start with senddata RPC method that is available now in non-hp version of software. Other tools will appear. I'm working on this.

Thank you oocook5u for quick reply

senddata is a lot like sendtoaddress. It creates a tx that contains:

- data
- fee for this data
- inputs (in order to pay fee)
- output (for change)

So the answer is: no, you don't need to send coins to somebody to send data. You can just send data.

thx for the clarification!

How was this done in the coding?  Any new script versions created?

Can you also send messages with this coin?

Sending a message means that there is a receiver for this message. senddata RPC doesn't add a receiver into tx but as soon as any tx has a data field you can do this (=> needs a bit of coding but doesn't need a hardfork).

I don't think that messaging (like IM or e-mail) is a very good idea for the blockchain: IM/e-mail is a one-to-one communication and data in blockchain is more suitable for one-to-many communication model.

Are there plans for tor nodes, darknet ip2 etc?
