Great coinflow! Mac wallet ?

http://mooncoin.rocks was set up by peme (see some postings above).
I wondered about the Mac-wallet, too. We should ask him, if he can provide that also.

peme?

Unfortunately I do not have the mac wallet. Searched the whole internet but couldn't find it. If someone has it, then please send it to me so that I can check the checksums with the original ones from mooncoin.info (possible with wayback machine internet archive) and integrate it for download in mooncoin.rocks .

Hey there i managed to find what i think to be the MAC wallet you can check it out for yourself @

https://deleted/Mooncoin-Qt-1.862.1-Mac.zip

i did not upload this or have anything to do with it....  I just searched for it and this is what i came up with!!

Thanks for your work, but please don't post this link here. We cannot be safe, whether this is a clean copy of the official Mac-wallet, until verified. Please inform peme (see above) first, so we can check the checksums and then put it onto http://mooncoin.rocks. Thanks.

MOONCOIN MAC WALLET IS BACK AGAIN !!!   

The mac wallet of the working wallet version 1.862.1 is online at http://mooncoin.rocks/wallet-download/

All the checksums of the Mooncoin-Qt-1.862.1-Mac.zip are the original ones.

[agswinner]

Windows wallet ok
Mac wallet ok
Blockexplorer ok
listing on the new exchange a good point ( it takes another 766 votes)
now we must strive to find a developer for mobile wallet. so it will be very simple to use this money and the price will go 'to the moon! 

[agswinner]

Very great! Secure (multi) Wallets send and recieve coins without fees....

[agswinner]

Please Peme..add this web wallet on mooncoin.rocks!

While it's definitely a thing to strive for, it is more important to issue an updated standard-wallet with an optimized algorithm first. We need to solve the problem with some miners cheating because of the random block-rewards as soon as possible (edit: this can also lead to the problem, that blocks with low rewards are solved much later than those with high rewards, because only the honest (smaller) miners work on them, hence the transactions contained in those blocks need much longer to be confirmed, which is also unfair for the users).
I have already asked in a thread of a mobile-wallet-developer. See what he answered here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=336215.msg8576255#msg8576255
So first we need deaconboogie back, or another capable developer, to take us to the next level. With that new wallet and the dev being there for contacts, we can proceed and get a mobile-wallet-developer aboard, too.

I just downloaded the windows wallet from www.mooncoin.rocks and it doesn't sync.

It shows a message like this "No one block source found"

What can i do? Thanks

If you have installed completely new, it has to find peers first, to download/update the blockchain from. So just be a little patient, if it doesn't sync immediately. As soon as the first peer is found, it will start to sync and find more and more peers to counter-check the blockchain.

Check these two posts, I have made in another thread, if it still doesn't work, or you're in a hurry:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=760083.msg8575636#msg8575636
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=760083.msg8575815#msg8575815

My current peers are (replace or add those found in the linked post above, as peers can change daily, because they are only the IPs of other user's wallets, that don't necessarily have to be online constantly and their IPs may change regularly over time, when assigned dynamically by their providers. So it is just a snapshot from today.):

"addr" : "82.226.151.241:44664",
"addr" : "92.238.186.27:44664",
"addr" : "116.49.143.141:44664",
"addr" : "24.87.44.66:44664",
"addr" : "23.20.113.24:44664",
"addr" : "188.226.176.232:44664",
"addr" : "192.99.167.170:44664",
"addr" : "162.243.98.174:44664",

Since pools are online most of the time, you could try to add their IPs or domainnames, too, via addnode (see the links above for a how-to). For example:
addnode=multipool.us
addnode=moon.bitember.com

As soon as the first peer is found, they communicate with each other, sharing IPs of other wallets to connect with. So when your wallet has the first connection, it will find more (up to eight) and then redistribute/announce these IP-addresses to the other wallets connected to yours, to stabilize the network. Edit: By the way, this is the reason, why you should start up your MOON-wallet, as soon as your computer runs, even if you're not using the wallet to move Mooncoins around. Because it helps the Mooncoin-network to always have a minimum of peers communicating with each other, hence building up a strong network.

Keep in mind, that the wallets on http://mooncoin.rocks are no new ones. So if you've already got a working wallet, there is no need to redownload/reinstall at the moment.

[redjedievolution]

thanks a lot coinflow! i added this to mooncoin.conf
addnode=5.45.105.66
addnode=188.226.176.232
addnode=23.20.113.24
addnode=188.165.252.23
addnode=148.251.70.194
addnode=85.10.194.50
addnode=74.91.20.250:44664
addnode=76.14.186.38

and now is resyncing

The absence of deaconboogie shows that MoonCoin was indeed designed as a Pump and Dump scam only. He gave up on the coin as soon as there was no more profit to be made and even the mooncoin.info site has been abandoned, and all this despite MoonCoin's young age of only 8 months!

MoonCoin urgently needs a new dev and the support of its community. Let's hope for the best. The community is still there.

[Bluestreet]

Guldencoin is the most impressive coin for me this year, if you not interesting in gambling on PnD and want something solid, you will never see a coin get updated faster.

Yes, you're right. We should set a deadline until deaconboogie should be back. If he doesn't reappear, we should look for a new dev.
Do you know, how to manage that? It seems as if you - as a legendary member - could know more? Maybe even have connections to a possible new capable long-time-developer?

Edit: But I would not go as far as declaring it a pump-and-dump-scam. Because if that was true, why would he have let MOON hang "back in the days", when the blockchain was stuck? A p'n'd-scammer probably could have made more money, if the KGW (or another solution) would have been implemented immediately, maybe pushing MOON to an even higher level. Keep in mind, that MOON was chasing DOGE then and ranked right behind it in terms of market capitalization.
I'd say, that deaconboogie just don't feels as commited and dedicated as he should, after launching (t)his coin (maybe also lacking skills to develop the coin further?). Which is not so nice, regarding investors and users believing in the coin and himself.

Edit2:
Maybe at the end he really "only" has serious family-based problems, as he posted on reddit. But at least he could give a short sign of life, sketching out a development-plan, so that we see a future direction of MOON. It's not that hard, to log in to bct and reddit and post about that. That is my opinion. And put mooncoin.info back online again, of course.

What do you all think?

[redjedievolution]

I think we need a new leader-devel asap.
Maybe not just one guy, even a group of people compromised on the project.

I think the reasons for the absence of deaconboogie are all speculation. If he is still interested in his coin than it should be ok for him that the community cares. His return would be great, but we should not wait endless. His last presence at bitcointalk was mid July. In my opinion setting a deadline is an idea.
Mooncoin works very well. The change from random to fixed block size is in my opinion the only change in code I would think about, perhaps in the future also staking (like hobonickel does) could be interesting.

At the weekend I installed the QT and MinGW development environment to compile mooncoind.exe from source. It was not so easy but I did it.  ...next days I will compile the mooncoin-qt.exe (GUI-version of the wallet) from source. At the moment there is a QT Library for QR-Codes missing, I have to install...then this should also be succesfull. In the past I 've been programming a lot with QT and it's easy for me to read all the source code. It needs more time for me to understand all the details and complexity of the wallet, but I am optimistic that I should be able to fix things like random to fixed block size also short-term, if needed and if you all wish this.

@agswinner: https://www.coinspot.com.au will be addet at mooncoin.rocks within the next hours.

That's a good idea, I'd subscribe to ...  
I was researching as well at the weekend and found this one, which gives a basic idea of how the wallet has to be tweaked, respectively where the relevant parameters can be found:
http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=scrypt_altcoin_cloning_guide

For me the hardest part seems to inform all relevant parties like pools, coinmarketcap-pages, online-wallets, exchanges etc. prior to a hardfork (don't know, if we simply can release an updated wallet and when enough supporters install them, then the fork takes place automatically? Or has something special to be changed in the code also, to make this happen? Maybe you or someone else here can enlighten me ...?). I could imagine that they are skeptical at first, if they are not contacted by the original dev ...


I'd do that part and try to communicate with all the involved, in order to make it an as glitch-free (hard-)fork as possible ...
But of course we need the entire community behind us first, for this to become a successful thing.

Edit:
Do you have a GitHub-account, so I can add you to https://github.com/mooncoin-project ?
There we would have a nice basis for the next wallet-version. According to gjhiggins, it is a ported version of Litecoin with the latest updates (OpenSSL-fix etc.). We would have to ask him for details. Btw: you can then change back the coin-icon to the original one immediately as you like, since the other one there is only a suggestion by Graham and he already stated, that he is out of the project, regarding active work on the code. He just wanted to provide a good new starting point for the community, after deaconboogie seemed to be so unreliable.
