What's the plan stan?

He works in mysterioius ways.

wow I thought this was dead.  Still have some coins from back in 2014.

New client is syncing 

What's the plan stan?

Please keep me up to date with your experience with the new wallet.  You will notice a lot of litecoin and other altcoin nodes appearing in the list of nodes but the wallet will reject them over time.  This will be resolved on Feb 1st, 2019 when the pchMessageStart code changes.  I didn't set it to change yet so that everyone can get on board with the new wallet first.  Though if you watch it vigilantly you can also right click the non-NDL nodes and ban them too.

original nodes not working for me

54.200.35.130

I had to use the explorer as my primary node

explorer.noodlyappendagecoin.net

synced to Jan 2016 and counting, it's going pretty fast so far.

pretty sure if you run the iquidus peers script it will add the nodes to the explorer w/node ver

Due to all the other alt-coin nodes, I think that script is running a bit behind.  We're still working on updating the explorer daemon.

Very slowing working on it.
I try to carve out a few hours every week to make changes and test. You can't see it on the public facing side, but it is there. I just keep the testing on the private lan, this way if I have to kill it the "real" explorer is still up and running.

The network tab does not seem to be enabled it has to be set to "network": true  
in settings.json for the feature to show up if i remember correct, but it's been a while since I set up the iquidus explorer.

I have it disabled as I could not get it to sync the peer list for some reason.

i was very busy in november when the new client was released, and had not included its new client name in the 'whitelist' my own node uses to allow connections.

(my quick and dirty solution to all those other altcoin connects was to create a list of allowed client names)

i have now added the new client name to my whitelist and connections should once again work for those new client users to my node at coins.dognose.net

i also maintain an iquidus explorer at coins.dognose.net:3001
but please do NOT consider it the primary or main explorer to use because HTTP type network connections to my site are often blocked by border networks thinking that home users should not be having incoming http connections (ie: they think they are protecting innocent home users from themselves and trojans/backdoors/etc.)

remember to specify 'coins.dognose.net' with addnodes and do NOT use my internet ip# --as a home user my ip# could change at random times without warning. admitidly not frequent, but it does happen.

Glad to see your node back on the list!  As time permits, please check out my client, I'm hoping that with the linux release that it will also be able to work with the iquidus explorer without issue.  Once February 1st rolls around and my client is reset, you won't need your whitelist code any longer.

Less than 2 billion NDL left to be mined.
Anyone else notice that?  We're already at 11.9 billion NDL mined.  Less than 2 billion left before NDL maxes out!

so, should PoS be seriously considered to keep a moving network?

i think i recall an altcoin (42coin perhaps?) that continues to mine zero value blocks with the finder getting
transaction fees only as a reward. doesnt sound motivating, but perhaps it's success should be looked into.
do most coins default to 0 blocks with just fees when they reach their maximum proof of work? can't say i've thought
about that end of things.

The majority?  With the over 1 thousand different coins out there, who knows....  I do know Bitcoin was originally designed in that manner.  Once the block reward is 0, that's when you only get transaction fees.  It'll still be a while for us (years).  I don't know what 42 coin did differently that caused that.  I guess it could have been the limitation to the number of smaller units that was a big culprit.  You can only half a coin that was already in the decimals so far.  


EDIT:
If my little python program is accurate, I've determined we have until around block 3,592,218 before we run out of coins to distribute. We are currently at block 1,400,407.  Which appears to work out to 4.17 years from today if we maintain our current mining rate.

http://explorer.noodlyappendagecoin.net/ is back to where it should be.
I did a test that I thought was working. It was not....  Still learning.

fixed.
if either the ndl wallet daemon isnt running, or the iquidus update process get killed for any reason, a lock-file is left behind.

that lockfile then needs to be manually deleted before things start moving again.

there is now a report/feedback link at the bottom of the explorer page since i'm not realiably reading this forum. (well, i'm reliable, just not frequent. ]

Whats next for NDL?  any exchange prospects?

Whats next for NDL?  any exchange prospects?

Once the new forks occur exchange prospects will blow up.  We need the new protocol updates that will occur in February to be added to exchanges.

Please help test the new wallet to assist us in reaching that point:
