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

[DaveF]

I purchased the noodlyappendagecoin.net and noodlyappendagecoin.info domains.
Who wants to do something with them?

Also, on a side note I destroyed more then 200,000,000 coins to increase the value of everybody's holdings no that's not the reason. Yes I destroyed them to save the world from the zombie apocalypse no, that's not it either, how about I was trying out some advanced programming and it didn't work out as I planned.  No, not quite it. Let's leave it at I was being an idiot who left his laptop to close to the pool. Yes, that sounds accurate.

Yes I killed it along with a ton of wallets from a bunch of non traded but live coins that I could play with outside of a test net. I would be upset but it's my own stupidity.....

I think you forked. (Or I did)
-Dave

Did you really just put a fork into the pasta ? hahahaha

All hail the Chosen One !

[AmoreJaz]

FSM= if its flying then no one can get their fork into it and have a big bite!
pasta is best served on a plate and ready to eat not while its zooming past someones head in a direct via to the wild unknown.
but all in all this is a great idea for things and who knows where it will land right?

Somebody actually have a working block explorer for this coin?  ( NDL )

i'm still running http://dognose.com:40023/ that i put up months ago.
just a simple ABE explorer.
it does have a bad habit of hanging/stalling. but it generally is there trundling along...

I have not been able to connect to it for a while. I figured it was dead.
Is it a server issue (lack of CPU / RAM / something else), or another issue?

probably 'other', ABE itself or the SQL server perhaps. i've not had time or brain energy to look into it. i work a summer seasonal job 6 days a week. winter months are my play with the computer months. i've done an ABE --rescan and it made no difference.

Code:

abe.conf:
---------
default-loader = blkfile
dbtype MySQLdb
connect-args {"user":"abe","db":"abe","passwd":"secret :)"}
upgrade
port 40023
host dognose.com
datadir = [{
        "dirname" : "/home/ndl/.noodlyappendagecoin",
        "chain" : "NoodlyAppendageCoin",
        "conf" : "noodlyappendagecoin.conf",
        "loader" : "blkfile",
        "policy" : "Sha256Chain",       # not coins algorithm, but chain format used
        "code3" : "NDL",
        "address_version" : "u0305",            # hex value of base58.h PUBKEY_ADDRESS
        "magic" : "u0f0bu0c00u0b06u0d0b"        # main.cpp uchar pchMessageStart[4]
        }]

and

Code:

runabe.sh:
----------
#!/bin/bash
if [ "x$1" = "x--init" ]; then
        python -m Abe.abe --config abe.conf --commit-bytes 100000 --no-serve
elif [ "x$1" = "x--rescan" ]; then
        python -m Abe.abe --config abe.conf --rescan --no-serve
else
        python -m Abe.abe --config abe.conf >/dev/null 2>&1 &
fi

and according to my notes i had done this:

Code:

mysql -u root -p
 create database abe;
 CREATE USER 'abe'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
 grant all on abe.* to abe;
 quit

i run the explorer under the ndl login user that is running the noodlydaemon

[dnp]

probably 'other',...

it might be my imagination but it almost seems as if it doesnt bother to update new chain blocks until or if someone connects to it, then it runs away madly catching up before responding to the web user request.

so, more frequent access would make for less delay?
who knows...
probably my imagination. but it does seem to eventually answer a web request if you are patient enough.

i know this coin is old but anyway anyone here interested to keep it going? i like the ramen brothers community too much to let this coin die...

Well as I said above I have the .net and .info domains.
I will let the community use them if someone wants to setup a page about it.

Hello DaveF, layer1gfx,

    I'm still in and have been mining on and off for the past month.
    Also, I am hoping to learn whether Haggis still maintains the collection of submissions from the logo contest.

    The codebase for this coin isn't too far off whatsoever from its Litecoin upstream and I may end up sharing an updated client with the community.
    So far I was able to update Noodlyappendagecoin to a v0.8.7.5 Litecoin base but before "being done" I want to freshen everything up with entries from the logo contest and also make Gitian building work for us.

    If anybody is interested in seeing the work-in-progress client, just send me a PM.  Its available as source code only right now - no Windows / OS X builds will be provided until later.

Best Regards,
-Chicago

Does anyone have anyplace to host the sites / files?

Hi Dave,

    I don't anticipate hosting as a large problem.
    There will be more resources used for hosting new seed nodes than there would be for a community website.

I could probably do one or 2 of the nodes on some RPis that I have (or some old windows boxes).
I really don't think they are going to need more then that.

[DaveF]

I have been trying to get an ABE block explorer for NDL working all morning.
It's not going well. Does anyone have any experience with ABE or another explorer?

Also, DANG the difficulty spiked up yesterday.

Thanks,
Dave

[DaveF]

Feels like I'm talking to myself here....
But I borked my test server so badly trying to get abe to work that I actually got Debian stuck in a reboot loop.
When I screw things up I go all the way. 

If anyone else wants to give it a shot let me know, if not I'm backing off for a bit to clear my head.

I have been working on a plan to see if we can bring this coin back to life.

A plan (Well not much of one but a plan)

1) Start work on the website / working block explorer. (.net / . info domains that I bought last year)

2) Release wallet with based on updated code

3) See if anyone mines / difficulty spikes.

4) Possible wallet changes (POS / different algo / whatever)

6)
.
7) Yes, YoBit sucks and $300 (give or take) to get it on an exchange is a lot but it's a start if people actually seem to be interested. We can pool some funds together.

7a) If we are going to go on an exhange I pubically burn the 1,000,000,000 coins that I have.



I'm open to suggestions if anyone else has any ideas. It's probably going to be slow going as it's a free time project and I really don't have any free time. It's been over a month since I nuked my test box try to get a block explorer working and I have not even had time to re-image it.

I can do this, or make it clear, without left bar. . . I almost dare it can be to the taste of the community. First let's remove old mining causes alert and another shit.....(a couple of days ago did not give much warning, only bitcoinminer, but it seems that others join today )

Let's work on this first, after It is very possible to make mandatory need an update version. . . This can leave offline to nodes that are not updated. . . . .

Oh!!  flying spaguetti monster creator(FSM), show us the way!!...

2) Release wallet with based on updated code

Hi DaveF,

    Noodlyappendagecoin is "not too old" considering there are plenty of much earlier v6.3 clones out there.
    Though for the users who do not compile on their own, an updated wallet linked against the latest openssl wouldn't be bad.
    There are probably easily updated Qt and boost dependencies which could be incorporated into an updated build too.

    Are you thinking about updating Noodlyappendagecoin w/ something close to the v8.7.5 Litecoin sources or more interested in the v13.2.1 Litecoin update?

    For what its worth, the build process w/ the v8 Litecoin clones is difficult using Gitian because the recipes are based on Ubuntu Lucid containers and Lucid went end-of-life.
    I was looking at the workflow this past weekend for using the Gitian recipes from back when our version of code was more current and there are lots of little work-arounds to do just to accommodate Lucid going end of life.   The other thing about the build recipes for the v8 clones are the much earlier OS X SDK which had been employed.

    The Gitian recipes in v13.2.1 use a relatively more modern SDK for the OS X build and have proven to be really reliable.

    The only problem is the recipes from the newer builds aren't exactly compatible w/ our v8 Noodlyappendagecoin code because Bitcoin switched to Autotools w/ builds after v8.

    What are your thoughts on where the code should be updated?
