[ANN] NDL - The coin for Pastafarians - Flying Spaghetti Monster Cryptocurrency!

[layer1gfx]

the exe in the zip file on http://www.noodlyappendagecoin.net/ works for me.
the installer wouldn't start properly.

That must've been it.  The exe worked for me too, but there was one version of the installer that used to work for me, so idk what's going on with that.

Okay. So, step 1 completed.

Step 2, make Noodlyappendagecoin great again!

okay great good to hear it works now.
have fun and don't forget:

Code:

setgenerate true

So, how hard is it to make a block explorer?  Isn't there some generic template that only takes like an hour to modify to make it work for a given coin?

Sadly, I don't get that joke

but you should have programming skills

Found that too, though I don't have sufficient programming skills to fully figure that out.

I started to try to "revive" this coin a while ago, but nobody really seems interested.
But, we obviously still have people keeping nodes up and mining.
Anyone want to make a push to do something? I would if I had more time, but for the moment I don't.

I think it's a matter of really anyone getting the ball rolling.  The block explorer would, I think, have to be handled by someone who understands databases.  I do not.  Getting that going and contacting the exchanges seems like all we'd need to get going.  Since you have the website you seem to be the linchpin.  I know layer1gfx says he's tried contacting the exchanges. 

Layer1gfx, any response from the exchanges yet?  Have you tried contacting cryptopia by chance, they seem to be one of the big ones that already has every other crypto under the sun.

[layer1gfx]

let's try decentralized exchanges instead.

komodo's barterdex could be worth a try - here are some pointers:

[layer1gfx]

Do I need anyone’s permission to add [X] coin to BarterDEX?
https://komodoplatform.com/faq/do-i-need-anyones-permission-to-add-x-coin-to-barterdex/

(Some of the features that must be in the blockchain’s code for the product to work (without additional effort) include Multisig, CLTV, and OP_RETURN.

If those are in the code of the blockchain, adding it to BarterDEX is quite easy.)

not sure about it.

Okay, we need bounties.


100,000 NDL Bounty:

Bounty for whomever provides DaveF with the code for the explorer that requires virtually no work for DaveF except putting it on his server (if that's possible).


1,000,000 NDL Bounty:

Anyone who updates the code on the github and creates windows exe therefrom and gives detailed instructions how to compile it themselves for anyone who wants to (including n00bs).
Update must include new hard-coded "most recent" or "checkpointdata", and the necessary components above for applying the coin to BarterDEX.

No one willing to bite?  Anyone who can do these things want to make a request as to how much for payment?

[DaveF]

I would also take a pre-configured VHD / VHDX that I can just mount. No configuration changes necessary (other then me setting the IP here) once I get it if it makes someones life easier.

Thanks,
Dave

does it make sense to keep meddling with old code or should it be ported to a better algo / erc20 token?

[Chicago]

The code is not horrible.

By altcoin standards, it is actually pretty recent code from the 0.8 branch.

What is needed is a new checkpoint and seednodes built into the wallet.

[DaveF]

I finally got an explorer up.
Sort of.
http://explorer.noodlyappendagecoin.net/
Once it finishes syncing I have to make some other changes to it, but it is up.
I want to make sure it syncs with no issues before going ahead and doing other work to it.

It's stupid slow at the moment because I did not put enough CPU cores on it. Once it finises I'll put more power behind it.

nice one, i will check a bit later after it finished syncing.

maybe post your NDL donation add

ERC20 NO!!!!!
Changing algo, might, just might, be worthy of a discussion. But it still should be an easily to mine for people.
Just my opinion.
-Dave

[Gash]

Who cares u can change the algo but the internals will still be there. I mean bad mentality and anchoring bias of the guy who created this coin for u. Increase velocity, move forward and forget about the freelancer whom u paid money for exacerbating the original design. Im cooking pasta lines and thinking of grabbing ur head by hair and drowning it into a large bowl with boiling water.

in order to get on some (d)exchanges the code has to be up to date.
i thought a switch to erc20 could *maybe* make getting listed more easy.
what makes the most sense?

[Chicago]

Relatively speaking, for a 0.8 branch clone, 0.8.6.1 is kind of up to date.
What is needed is what I stated earlier, checkpoints, seednodes, new releases for Windows / Linux / macOS plus a UPnP fix for the current version of miniupnpc.
