also something that dosnt work is adding data with sendmany:

Code:

datacoind sendmany SendOut '{"DMqiuhrowAAbVtc4UBu8U1hAkqC15CuVuy":1.0}' 120 1 "sendmany+data test" "RGF0YWNvaW4gZmF1Y2V0IHBheW91dCEgV2FudCBzb21lIERUQz8gVmlzaXQgaHR0cDovL2ZhdWNldC5kYXRhY29pbi5kYXJrZ2FtZXguY2ghCg=="
error: {"code":-1,"message":"sendmany <fromaccount> {address:amount,...} [minconf=1] [comment] [data]\namounts are double-precision floating point numbers<data> is a base64 encoded data chunk"}

but according to the synopsis, this should be accepted!

You have more params than needed in your command line, what is the "1" for ?
Also, does that mean that you can send an arbitrary amount of data ? Or the fee rules equally apply to sendmany (and send for what matters) ?.

oh thanks, shame on me!

works now
well, i wanted to put some text in the faucet donation transactions to identify it later (in case of address changes) and for testing usage of course.

here my test tx:

you need to start mining for some minutes, and then use http://datacoin.info/calc.html

Cross posting from the krypte thread, hope it picks your interest :

Just wanted to share that we have successfully uploaded a big file (290K ok, not that big) into the datacoin blockchain, download functionality is already implemented at https://krypte.net , we will put the upload big file functionality in place later today or tomorrow.

Also, I have been thinking about how to give exposure to Datacoin, one possibility would be to accept payments in other currencies to upload data to the Datacoin network. This also would alleviate the current lack of a serious exchange and leverage Datacoin as a service utility, not just a currency.
We could offer krypte.net users the opportunity to sell their DTC in exchange of BTC or other alts, we are not sure about that point. And implementing this is somehow harder, anyway I would like to know what do you people think about it.

EDIT: Donation addresses for the krypte : DTC DLjcy3vu8KhMGbqbEtRcrGQUEweuMpiZqs , BTC 1BynKGAvBNprNLDFmix8LXtt8g5yGch1iD

Hey how (if it does) does datacoin reward those who run a full node? That seems like the most important part of datacoind is the storage and not the transactions. I'm sure I'm missing something. Thanks!

The same as for Bitcoin, those who process transactions can get transaction fees. But as discussed earlier, there is no possibility to add reward for storage as it can lead to cheating. Maybe this issue will be solved in future.

Uploading BIG files is now possible.

Up to 1Mb, although this is an artificially self imposed limit, we may increase it if there is demand for it.
Also all the files uploaded now from krypte.net use the envelope protocol (even small ones).

Feedback ? Ideas ? Donations ?

See our latest blog post at https://krypte.net/blog for more info.

can this coin still be solo mined

[GreekBitcoin]

can this coin still be solo mined

If you have a good computer or many computers then yes. My i3 laptop needs 11 days for a block...So i prefer pool.

Check this: http://datacoin.info/calc.htm

I have an amd 6 core and a i5 i think im a mine the pool with the 6 core and i5 solo just to see if i get anything.

So let me get this straight. Recent developments...

• Datacoin has an excellent online wallet (krypte.net) that makes the file storage/browsing features incredibly easy to use
• Datacoin added support for files up to 1MB instead of 128KB, and it will now possible to increase that limit
• It is now possible to update files on the Datacoin chain
• Datacoin is on 2 of the 3 major alt exchanges, Bter and Coins-E. Cryptsy is also aware of DTC but won't add it because of the potentially large blockchain. The Datacoin dev announced recently that he is working on a lite wallet to get around this.
• A potentially big new alt exchange is opening up in February that will support Datacoin on launch (comkort.com)

In spite of all this, the community has not grown at all. Activity on this thread has dried up, /r/datacoin has not grown, there have been less blockchain uploads lately. This seems to be completely because there is no PR activity going on at all. For instance, look at the Chinese DTC announcements and you will see that there has been no updates since a couple of weeks after the launch. They are completely unaware of the above developments and still think DTC is just a primecoin scamclone, and so goes the rest of the world who might be interested in DTC.

Look at the chart and you can see that the volume has been waning and the price is following, but it seems to have bottomed out over the last 6 days. I personally have been waiting for when I think DTC has bottomed out to get in so today has been buy time for me. The fact that the price has remained steady over the past 6 days despite no renewed interest suggests to me that only strong hands are left in the market.

Datacoin is also possibly far more distributed than other coins, according to the top 100 wallets. However the block explorer seems to be down so I will link that info asap. This hint of healthy distribution suggests that pumping and dumping will be difficult and less likely.

So what does this mean?

Datacoin seems poised to have a good rally, but we need awareness. The first thing we need to do is get datacoin.info and krypte.net translated into Mandarin. That is why I propose a bounty and I will pledge 30TC.

We also need to start getting DTC onto some more exchanges. Guys, forget Cryptsy. That will not happen until the lite wallet is made available. Instead lets focus on:

Coinedup.com - Post on http://www.reddit.com/r/CoinedUp/comments/1v9s0p/please_add_datacoin_to_coinedup/

Coinmarket.io - Post here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=422726.0

And it would be neat for the block explorer Blockr.io to support us: http://blockr.io/addcoin

Don't just write "add dtc pls" like all the scamcoiners do when they flood requests. Write why you actually want to trade DTC. With easy access to up to date information, they are much more likely to add it.

[GreekBitcoin]

I am also pledging another 15DTC . Nice idea to translate krypte to chinese.

Also we must organise the bounty-Lotterie for using the krypte services!

[kaja]

GreekBitcoin, great. Thanks. Good idea about the lottery. Let's make that our next project after we get the translation happening.

• It is now possible to update files on the Datacoin chain

No way!!  That's EXCELLENT!

We made PR and sent it to many resources, look into this thread

We've also contacted at least vircurex, mcxnow and coinex. They keep silence, vircurex was in our 'mail list' just from the beginning of Datacoin - we sent them mails several times, with each major update (pools opened, HTTP server created, big promos), but still no answers. MCXNOW has just opened, so maybe they'll answer later.

Datacoin seems poised to have a good rally, but we need awareness. The first thing we need to do is get datacoin.info and krypte.net translated into Mandarin. That is why I propose a bounty and I will pledge 30TC.

I'll add 100 DTC for translation, and if someone makes complete site (I mean takes our CMS with CSSes and pictures and makes the changes according to language specifics), I'll add 400 more DTC - total 500. 

[kaja]

Max: Ok, since you made a big pledge I think for security purposes you should be the escrow. Post an address and I will send my 15DTC. I am also in search of a Mandarin translator now.

nxt,ethereum,bitcloud and other v2 currencies have plans for doing decentralized storage with many more features on top. what do you think about the long term outcome of this coin?
