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

[DaveF]

Yeah, still working on the pool.
For some reason I can't get the coin up and running on the pool server. Keep poking at it whenever I have time.
Last error:

Code:

error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.65.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Which is logical since I only have 1.58 installed.
But.....for some reason I can't get anything newer installed.

As I recall, you have to have at least one connection to solo mine.

Edit: Also, as I recall, with the version 15.2 (versus the older version), the Bitcoin/Litecoin developers disabled the solo mining (compared to the way it was in the older version of the NDL wallet).  It has been a while for me thinking of such things.

Interesting to know this 15.2 feature or lack of feature.  MC or Marycoin is 15.6 based coin.  I had no problem solo mining MC with GPU or with ASIC.

But same still true, for me to solo mining MC successfully in the past, the wallet syncing had be 100% complete in debug.log file.  Without 100% complete syncing, MC solo mining did not work either.  NDL wallet I never got 100% synced on wallet. , always 99.99999% complete.

Just checked ShorelineCrypto exchange wallet syncing on latest block:

Same for exchange wallet,  progress=0.999998

I think regardless of what version bitcoin clone,  progress not equal to 1 means solo mining does not work.

I don't recall all the specifics, only that it was "different" for the new version.  It has been a while since I did it, so I don't recall exactly.  The wallet I have open shows no issue though, no "99.9999" percent or anything. Full 100%

edit 3-- Sunday Sept 13 AM It was not the drives, replaced all of them and was reinstalling and imaging and started to get I/O errors again. Give me another few days
If I owe you any coins post and I'll send them out of my wallet.

-Dave

flakey power supplies (with noise/ripple bleeding through on the outputs from a bad capacitor or something) can possibly cause this symptom. got a spare or borrowable power supply to try out?
perhaps even try reseating the power supply connector on the motherboard.

is it specifically trying to load that file version? or more sanely simply libboost_system.so ?
perhaps you have a bad symlink in your lib directory pointing libboost_system.so to the failed install of the newer version. ??

No, it was an old Dell server with multiple PS.
At first I thought it was the drives.
Then I thought it was the backplane.
Then I thought it was the controller.
Then I did a lot more reading and other people have had the same issue, nobody has ever been able to come up with a solid reason. But they all go the same way.
It's old so nobody that I found has put that much time / effort into digging up the end issue.

No, that is the version that shows loaded. I just can't get anything newer installed. Very odd.
Not sure if it's looking for that version or a newer one but 1.58 just does not cut it for some reason.
Going to possibly play around this weekend.
That or see if I can get the pool to communicate to a node on another server.

i'm attempting to put real language support (localization) into my explorer.
i have no clue about the Italian language, but my first attempt may be
found at
  http://coins.dognose.net:3401/

basically i used google translate then touched up any seriously obvious issues.

there is still some text 'wired' into the program and not translating. but i'm working
through liberating them as i notice them.

there is also an as yet unsolved issue of accented characters in the popup tooltips
when you hover over various things. i've been trying to phrase things to avoid accented
characters

this is the madness being stuck at home during a plague 

(italian... pasta... get it? but if you REALLY want another language, you only need to provide
the translations. lol...)

Well I finally got off my ass and got some form of a pool working.
It's just a bare-bones UNOMP setup at the moment.
Will be doing more work on it over the next few days (yeah...right).

Website = http://unknownminingpool.com
Stratum = stratum+tcp://stratum.unknownminingpool.com:3256
Stratum Port = 3256
Username = your NDL address
Password = x

Automated payouts every 10 minutes
Minimum payout 10000 NDL (will probably lower that later)

Use at your own risk, I just put it up quickly since the other pool has been down for months and due to other circumstances I have no idea when I'll really be able to put time into it.

-Dave

[honglu69]

Looks like the pool is down again.

[DaveF]

Looks like the pool is down again.

I got it back up last night. Seems to be working, someone is mining there at least.

Small favor, if you see it down don't just post here also PM me. I don't always check thread post notifications when they come in while I am working but I do tend to at least read some of the PMs.

Not sure what happened, the DB just stopped responding for some reason. I hope it's not hardware again.

Sure will do.

So baring anything going wrong, or the current owner renewing it I just bought the .com at an expired domain auction.
Should be in my domain account by next weekend.
Yeah, does not matter much but I figured what the heck. .com domains just seem to generate more traffic.

-Dave

[dnp]

so they auction expired domains now days?
i just assumed a couple months after they expire they simply fall back into the open market.

Nope, all the bigger registrars will sit on them for a bit before releasing them.

Capitalism :-)

https://www.godaddy.com/help/bid-on-expiring-domains-893
https://www.namesilo.com/Support/Expired-Domain-Auction-Frequently-Asked-Questions
etc.
The downside is that with some of them, like the godaddy ones, I can put in a winning bid, and actually win and pay godaddy. But, the original owner can still get the domain back for a bit.

I do not receive the domain till that time has expired.

So for this one, i won it on the 6th, but I don't get it till the 14th or so.

active nodes infor?

[DaveF]

Peers that I am seeing at the moment:

23.233.55.92:40021
144.202.22.19:40021
183.159.68.150:56873

There are others out there.
Also, yes the .com address is now under my control it should be pointing to the main site.

Anyone want to redo the site into something better more modern?
Probably does not matter that much but it can't hurt if someone has the time to do it.

Bravo!  I was just looking at shorelinecrypto and it looks like, at highest buy price, NDL market cap is about $35k and the lowest sell price puts it around $330k market cap.  Not too shabby.  Though I wonder if "now is our time" to really get this coin to take off.

[DaveF]

Still looking for someone to re-do the site into something that looks like it was made this decade.
Also, would be nice to have a few more "permanent" nodes that can be added into the coins DNS seeds for people to sync.

Still chugging along, might have more time to do things this summer but can't be sure.

Just copy the Dogecoin website and change everything to Noodlyappendagecoin and related images.  It worked for them, why can't it work for us?
