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

[K1773R]

I compiled it to try it out but I cannot run datacoind-qt... I don't understand. Access denied.

Are you running windows or linux (if linux, what distro)?  What version?

Is "Access Denied" all that it's saying? 

Copy & paste your input/output if you're able...screenshot would work too.

This machine is running Ubuntu 13.04. I can't get anything useful anymore, I already compiled so I'd have to recompile. It just basically says "Permission denied" when I type "./datacoin-qt.pro"

In which directory did you try to compile the 1st time? Did you change it? (Sounds like you've got it, but now I'm curious, lol)

and did you chmod'ed it to be executed?

seriously? you dont execute a .pro (qt project file)... you use it to create a Makefile and with this, you compile it later.

hahaha, shame on me, I didn't see '.pro' in that message. Of course, that  needs to  be qmake'd and compiled.
btw I'm still fighting with Windows QT wallet and trying to choose right mingw, dependencies etc to avoid segfaults and other errors during start (facepalm)

How many coins can be mined?

[maxsolnc]

How many coins can be mined?

Total 2 billions. But max.coins per year even with current diff is 5 millions, so you see...

[GreekBitcoin]

How many coins can be mined?

If i am not mistaken 2Billion will need a couple of hundred years...

Has anyone used the pool? http://dtc.gpool.net/

[GreekBitcoin]

Has anyone used the pool? http://dtc.gpool.net/

I think most of us. I personally from the first day, before 4-5 days, that it started. It pays indeed. Some people have spoken about some problems but it is really new. Until yesterday it was only in Chinese.

I dont know your setup and if it would be better to solo but give it a try. It goes smoother every day i think.

Has anyone used the pool? http://dtc.gpool.net/

I did. Started to use this pool this morning. Have a couple of primeminers running on Linux.

Payout is when you reach 0.3 DTC. I got my first payout of ~ 0.3 PTS - which is now 'immature' :/

How can this be? IMHO the pool software is also 'immature' ^^
Will wait for the next payout - if this is immature too - I'm gone.

[jabbaah]

Hrmpf. Just googled a bit - seems to be my misunderstanding...
 
Is it correct that 'immature' payments need to wait for 3200 blocks to get 'mature'?

So I simply have to wait, then... I'll see ;-)

Can I restart the wallet while I have 'immature' values in it? I cannot see them in the 'getinfo' output...

yes, you're right, 3200 confirmations before maturing the funds and before you can use these coins. Only after 3200 confirms you'll see coins in getinfo, it is common practice for all coins here

Seems legit

Still.. I've read somewhere else that one had immature funds in his wallet and after restarting the wallet, it was gone. So, can I restart the wallet without risking to lose what I've got? Or how can I find out if the block was orphaned later?

Until now I was only pool mining and there the pool was checking for orphaned blocks before executing the payout. Might have something to do with the number of accepts - which might have been lower for this other coin?

You can get situation when immature go away from your wallet after restarting is possible only in case of solo mining. Pool checks for such things.

3200 is required number of confirmations and doesn't depend on pool, but only on network protocol. Each pool can only increase this value, but not to decrease - the same is true for all altcoins. No way to get your coins and spend them before they mature in the network, no matter how you got them - with pool or with solo mining

Just wait the 3200 blocks, it's only ~2.2222 days

does the speed of the maturing speed up later?

i got 6 dtc now ^^ but i havent been able to use it for like 3 days sofar and i wanne sell em :>

only with hardfork, and it will be not good idea. But maybe in future...

[gorgorom]

Think someone could whip up a mac binary?

[jabbaah]

I was brave and I just closed and reopened my wallet - immature DTC are still there.

You can see how much I trust you guys

Anyway I can wait. Thanks for the help.

I downloaded datacoin and was surprised to see the difficulty at above 9.  I'm just wondering, is it possible to merge-mine this, or at least to re-use the cunningham chains from the Primecoin block chain?  If it's possible, I'd say some clever person is getting a lot of blocks!

That's interesting, and I have been thinking about it also, if in the end DTC could be merge-mined with XPM that would be definately good for the coin, and that would also mean that both coins would share the same difficulty. I can't see a reason why the prime chains accepted by XPM couldn't be accepted for DTC, but they could be chained somehow in the blockchain.

Let's wait and see. 

Yeah, with the same difficulty and merge-mining it can be awesome union for both coins.

In case of merged mining one of blockchains is parent (has much higher difficulty) and another one is auxiliary and has lower difficulty. This is not the case of Datacoin and Primecoin as soon as difficulties are very close to each other now: 10.x for Primecoin and 9.x for Datacoin. Thus there is no way to do merged mining in the near future.

oocook5u, I have a request for you, what about lowering the fee to post data so people start actually using this nice feature ?
You know, people tend to hold the coins, as if they where bitcoins ...

Can we test it client side ? I tried lowering MIN_TX_FEE in the code but somehow I end up always with the same fees ( the -paytxfee argument doesn't work either since XPM has it disabled in code).

Do you know why did Sunny King disabled -paytxfee?
