I am having issues with the new wallet , both the 'windows installer' version & the zip. Have tried 3 downloads of each, both giving problems. Known issue? Help? Advise?     (win 7 Ult 64)

I had to uninstall it from add/remove programs then install 0.56

REMEMBER!! Backup your wallet first.

I am having issues with the new wallet , both the 'windows installer' version & the zip. Have tried 3 downloads of each, both giving problems. Known issue? Help? Advise?     (win 7 Ult 64)

I've heard some people have issues with the downloads, we're trying to get extra mirrors for them but until then try clearing your cache, it might help you download them.

Also we might have some more big news to share soon, just need to speak with everyone tomorrow and make sure they're on board. I won't announce anything yet as I'm not fond of making announcements and being forced to work on them, but I'll probably announce it after we've gotten the mixing service released.

Small scratchpad for things I'm going to implement for the mixing service

Code:

1) Nodes are announced over the network by me via transactions. No hard fork is needed to implement this, it's a simple matter of
a. Node owner contacts me asking if they can be announced
b. I check their security, ensure everything is configured properly
c. I receive their public key and addresses
d. Using my special announcement address I send a transaction to another of my addresses, with the mixers public key + addresses embedded as 0 value transaction outputs (along with flags in the data saying if it's being announced or revoked)

Embedded TX data looks like:
[4 byte flags field]
[256 byte node public key field]
[20 byte node receiving address public key]
[20 byte node sending address public key]

e. Clients see this transaction, check if its from my announcement address then decode and add the mixers public key, along with the mixers receiving address and sending address to a list of mixers built into the daemon
f. New clients, while downloading the blockchain, when they see a transaction from my announcement address they do as above.

2) Node revocation works much the same way as above, except the flags field specifies a removal bit and the receiving address, no need for public key or sending address

3) Automated way of checking if nodes actually send out data, works like:
a) Someone sends a TX to be mixed
b) Network sees the TX being sent to known mixer receiving address
c) Clients on network keep a tab on the mixers sending address to make sure it actually sends coins with equal or more value out in the next 8 (extra minute for slow networks) minutes
d) If it doesn't the node must be offline and it gets removed from all the clients mixer lists
This would also apply while people download the blockchain, the only way to be readded is for me to issue another node announcement.

4) A ping-pong system to check if nodes are online, receiving nodes that get added by me get added to a script that automatically sends 1 coin without any mixing data embedded. Works like
a) My script sends receiving address 1 coin, with a 0 value transaction output specifying my own address (in a format different to normal mixing data, this wouldn't be encrypted and would only need a single output)
b) Receiving node receives the coin, does the normal mixing procedure
c) Sending node sends the coin back to me
d) My script marks the node as still online

If I don't receive the coin back then the node must be offline and a revocation message is issued to the network saying that the node can be removed.

TODO:
1) make mixer scripts allow for transactions with value of 1 to be sent to the sending node and sent out without any fees or encryption of the tx data needed
2) set the encrypted mixing data (when decrypted) to be completely random and then write the mixing data over it, along with the number of tx's to send.
3) ??? (TBA)

Appreciate the work you're putting into this coin.  Donated TIPS to the coinmixing test address at ETSzZNZyAt1XhbKUReneEb5YkmMjVXTzBy.  Syncing the new wallet now.

Good coin but it has a bad reputation due to redditor smear campaign.

i think of holding for 6months when im america without setting an sell order. Anyone thinks this is stupid?  
What potential you see in this coin? I mean this doesn´t seem like a bump n dump coin. How high is possible. I mean possible is everything but... any thoughts?

I have many millions and i want hold for "long time" , two years maybe or more.
I really believe in this coin , awesome community and very nice feature ,and i like 500B of total coins.

Bitcoin after 6-12 months had not value...watch now...
So the keyword is "keep them all"

[tminer]

dear developers

 the new update(http://fedoraco.in/files/0.56/fedoracoin-0.56-win32.zip) zip file is corrupted. fix it and release a working one.

waiting for the new.......................

Same here. Many millions already bought, many more to come as long as price is good and I have money for investments.
Also we should remember that all the coins are at some point tangled with bitcoin price. If somebody is considering investing
in any alt-coin it means that he believe in bitcoin and system it created generally. Following this way of thinking we all generally
assume, that bitcoin will lead innovation and it's price will rise. In other words- you are always a winner, you will be either rich or super rich.
Just imagine bitcoin doubles in price tomorrow. You just bought BTC today for 300$ > LTC > TIPS. Tomorrow you still have coins of 600$ value,
no matter their name. Now lets assume, that additionally TIPS got 1000% its starting price- do the calculations yourself.
BTC is at about 1000$ now, and expected to reach 3000-10'000$ just this year.

Of course all this can be worth 0 at any moment, but is expected different. And expectations can change everything when mixed with big amounts of money.

And what I really do hope is that, I will have no reason to ever exchange any of those coins to local fiat currency (and also pay the tax...).

[Catanonia]

Whats happened to all confirmations ?

Since .55 version my wallet client isn't syncing to network and pools are taking an age to confirm blocks ?


edit : It seems to working, just slow. Oh well, updated to .55 for now ready for .56

[Nthused]

Can't seem to find the "Coin Mixing" Feature and the version is confirmed as 0.56......

[colinfx]

To be honest I wish I'd pre-mined a bit more for the mixer It wasn't originally part of our plan though.
If anyone feels generous the mixers address is ETSzZNZyAt1XhbKUReneEb5YkmMjVXTzBy, I won't see those coins at all, they'll only be used to mix other peoples transactions.

We've got some nice things coming on the horizon too, we might not need to implement the gravity well since icanprogram has a neat idea concerning block rewards. I'll have to delay the release until I've heard him out properly but rest assured that a fix for the multipools will be coming soon

We may also be relaunching FedoraCoin soon with a whole new image, the new guy we have on board (not sure if he wants to be named) is an amazing graphics designer and has some great ideas on how to make FedoraCoin more accessible to the normal person. You'll hear more about that very shortly

Awesome work!!!! Thank you so much for addressing these issues!!!

Donated to the mixer on the way...

Hi guys,

I'm a holder of 10 million fedoracoin since a few weeks, and I have a question about the wallet I'm using. I downloaded it a few weeks back and it is this version: v1.0.4.3-unk-beta. Question is: is it still usable as a wallet after the recent changes (coin mixing etc.) of Fedoracoin? It still is synchronizing with the network.

I myself expect not, so what should I do? Where can I find the most recent wallet and how do I get my coins from the old wallet to the new one (without the risk of losing them)?

Thanks for your replies

This is how I have done updates.

1. Backup your wallet in the gui or by copying the c:\users\USERNAME\appdata\roaming\fedoracoin directory.

2. Unzip the files from the download.

3. Find the directory where the software is installed and delete all and copy in the new ones. (Fedoracoin-qt.exe sits in this directory)


ONLY do this if you are confident with files and directories on computers, otherwise wait for others

BUT above all make sure you have a full working backup.

If in doubt, while the wallets are being worked on, you can store your TIPS in your Cryptsy account (that's what i'm doing), then when you have the new working wallet, withdraw your tips back to your desktop.

We are going back to 43, just above large buy support. The changing of the reward system was an understandable (it was supposed to happen earlier but was postponed) but bad idea as those who don't know better will see it as a scam to artificially pump up the price for those who hold coins now at the expense of those who buy in now and in the future. People will not pay more bitcoin just because there will be fewer coins released. I admit I was cautiously optimistic when I saw the price hit 48 but there is just no demand apart from those pushing their order up the queue in a trickle.

Until the dumpers are out of the game we will not see an increase in price - unless of course someone comes in with 1000 litecoin and starts knocking down walls creating momentum, but face it, there is no reason to invest that sort of cash in this coin right now - not until we get some real services and uses for the coin. Vertcoin, the PITA that I couldn't get to mine when it released, is doing bloody well, over doubled in priced in 24 hours. We need to start looking at what these coins have that we don't and begin providing. Kimoto Gravity Well is the first step.

[colinfx]

I prefer that TIPS hang around the 40 level than dropping further. Coins are changing hands at this level bringing up the average holders price. This takes time. We need all the lower level holders (or as many os possible) to sell their holding and new holders hold at our current level. This will just take time, there's a lot of coins out there, I am grateful we are holding this level. The longer we hold, the better for us.

Anyone looking for fast profits is in the wrong game. I am SURE that in some weeks or months we will all wish we loaded up MORE at this level.

[ifightformerkel]

I think TIPS go in the next 2-3 week over 300, the coin now not even 2 satohi cost, its one of the cheapest coins.
And when people get it whats going on with this coin, with all the new feauters and a lot of new things in the next days are implemented, then it it will rise very fast in the next days and weeks.

Than you will be praying and crying, why i dont buy this coin so cheap, i would 10x double my money.
