Utility for checking IXCoin difficulty amongst other things, within the client

[kiwiasian]

Download here



THIS WORKS FOR BITCOIN TOO, you will just have to change all IXCoin variables to Bitcoin in the DOS code

Installation instructions:
1. Download .bat file
2. Right click-->edit
3. Change "IXCoindirectoryhere" to the program files directory of IXCoin. For example, mine is F:\IXCoin:

Code:

set LOCATION=F:\IXCoin

4. Go to IXCoin.conf and add the following to the end of the code:

Code:

server=1

5. Done. Run batch file.

MS-DOS Code:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
set LOCATION=IXCoindirectoryhere
set PING=PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 700
set LONGPING=PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000
set tempfile=%HOMEDRIVE%\getinfo.txt
tasklist > %tempfile%
ECHO Checking if IXCoin is open...
%PING% > nul
type %tempfile% | find /i "ixcoin.exe" > nul
IF %ERRORLEVEL%==0 (
ECHO IXCoin is open
goto :open
) ELSE (
ECHO IXCoin is closed
goto :close
)

:open
%PING% > nul
ECHO Getting info... 
start /d "%LOCATION%" ixcoin.exe getinfo
%PING% > nul
echo Y|del %TEMPFILE% > nul
exit

:close
%PING% > nul
ECHO Starting IXCoin in server mode...
start /d "%LOCATION%" ixcoin.exe -server
%PING% > nul
ECHO Waiting...10 seconds
%LONGPING% > nul
ECHO Waiting...9 seconds
%LONGPING% > nul
ECHO Waiting...8 seconds
%LONGPING% > nul
ECHO Waiting...7 seconds
%LONGPING% > nul
ECHO Waiting...6 seconds
%LONGPING% > nul
ECHO Waiting...5 seconds
%LONGPING% > nul
ECHO Waiting...4 seconds
%LONGPING% > nul
ECHO Waiting...3 seconds
%LONGPING% > nul
ECHO Waiting...2 seconds
%LONGPING% > nul
ECHO Waiting...1 seconds
%LONGPING% > nul
ECHO Getting info...
start /d "%LOCATION%" ixcoin.exe getinfo
%PING% > nul
echo Y|del %TEMPFILE% > nul
exit

Seriously?

So I suppose no one cares about IXCoin difficulty

[CYPER]

I care, but use getinfo.

[Oldminer]

I care, but use getinfo.

Agreed. I did run it but Im not sure what this utility provides that the command line doesnt?

[kiwiasian]

Huh? This tool is just for executing the client with getinfo. That's the point of the program.

[mike85123]

You have all of that crap... when you could just do "ixcoin getinfo"

Is there any way to tell stats (gh/s, total 'shares' submitted, etc) for solo mining in IXcoin or Bitcoin?

Did you not read what I just said? This is exactly what the tool is for, running ixcoin getinfo

And the answer to your question is yes.....
Did you even run the program

His point is that there is no need for a whole tool to run a command that already exists in the original program. It's a complete waste of coding. Also, ixcoin is bs, waste of time, nonsense.

[mike85123]

yes, but I have a miner pointed at IXCoin in server mode and it is telling me hashes per sec are still at zero.

[Oldminer]

yes, but I have a miner pointed at IXCoin in server mode and it is telling me hashes per sec are still at zero.

Thats CPU hashes

Lol at least read and understand the code before you say something like that.

Hmm, let me see. Ok I read the code, it's a waste of time. Is that sufficient for you?

[Fakeman]

Sure launching a batch file is faster than typing out a command every time, but why not just use 2 or 3 lines for this?

[kiwiasian]

Sure I can use two or three lines. What if your client isn't open? What if it is open and you end up running multiple instances of it? What if it isn't in server mode?

If you know any software programmers, the simplest of things can take hundreds of lines of code because there are too many what-ifs and variance across different systems.

Now had I done this solely for myself it would only be a few lines because I know under what circumstances the file is run

Are you serious?

I'm not even going to respond to this trolling.

Simple version:

Code:

ixcoin.exe
pause
ixcoin.exe getinfo

Done.
No need to write like 70 lines

Looks like I already have the client open, oh no now I have two instances of the client running.

Looks like I don't have server mode enabled, and it's giving me an error.

[joulesbeef]

wow give the guy some shit for developing something for the community.
So fucking what if you dont fucking like it.
so fucking what if you live on the command line.
so fucking what if you think you can do in 3 lines what he did in 70.
So fucking what... one of the problems with bitcoins is it;s lack of ease of use.
Sure it is easy for all us tech heads and if you want to keep bitcoins as an inside joke, keep attacking the people that make it slightly easier for the rest of us.
with this tool , dont have to google, dont have to learn how to use the command prompt or even how to get to the damn directory with ixcoin in in via the command prompt. I'm glad you learned how to do all of this through osmosis at birth, but give some of us mere mortals a break.(and yeah I can do it too but I am not so insanely egotistical and ignorant to think that my mother can as well)


yeah I can getinfo too... but I appreciate your batch file, as well as the pains you went through to make sure it actually works as advertised.
People who scream "i can do that in two lines.. idiot" are the same reason we have so many damn websites with sql injection vulnerabilities.

And I say fuck them.. keep up the good work.. some people do appreciate it.

[CYPER]

I am.

[wallet.dat]

All this bickering aside, is anyone actually mining IXCoin ?

I am.. it's still more profitable to mine Ixcoin than Bitcoin right now.
