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

[Chicago]

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.

Hi DaveF,

    How far did you get with the Abe installation before nuking the test box?
    I'm up to the point where I have fcgid installed and am trying to make Abe work through mod_fcgid so I don't have to call http://example.com:2750 to see the chain.
    The problem I'm running into is with Apache v2.4 and trying to avoid mod_cgi or ScriptAlias from getting in the way of the Abe script being executed with mod_fcgid using a handler for the Abe script.  I'm pretty sure I had it right "just once" and then went to test another change in the configuration and then never had it working again and always coming up with a 500 even though permissions on the filesystem were seemingly good.

    I figured once I had Abe going at its best then I'd take a look at the Insight block explorer too.

Best Regards,

Guys, we really don't need this Making crypto more absurd than it already is will not benefit anybody. You are just wasting your time.

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?

I was thinking v13.2 for a few reasons.

1) It shows we are up to date using up to date tools / code not just pulling off another old clone. There is NOTHING wrong with cloning old coins and some of the ones that popped up over the years have been good and caught on. As a mostly hardware guy I just feel if you run the latest code things are better, there are more current discussions of issues and it's easier to move forward to implement other newer ideas. [The sound of 1000's of screaming programmers are heard in the background]

If you got it working just once you are ahead of me.
I followed the step by step build. (actually found a youtube of it) Once it was running I went to 127.0.0.1 page (yes I built it on a machine with a gui) and as soon as I got there the MySQL daemon threw an error and died.
I wiped the DB and redid it, same thing.

Figuring that I because had put in an older version  MySQL for compatibility reasons and that was the issue on a new OS I went to Postgre and that although not causing an error it just did nothing.

Pulled out both db and started fresh with the latest version of MySQL again and the latest version of Python everything fully up to date and then for some reason I could not get the coin daemon to run. It had been fine up until then. So some update that got installed during the 5.7.17 MySQL update or the latest Python update was causing an already compiled app not to run.

So I started to roll back packages 1 or 2 at a time, I did a reboot every time. Somewhere along the way, bam, reboot loop. So I walked away from it "for a few days" That was over a month ago...

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!!...

It's definitely a good starting point.
I would remove the donation link for now. (We all get to work for free, for now.)

I would think that it would be best if everyone working on it / discussing it did it here.

Some things we can do in PM, but for the most part make it full public here of who is doing what and when. This way nobody can come back and say Dave did this or Chicago did that or someone else did the other thing. It's all out and in public, and if nobody says anything, and it gets done in a way they they don't like then it's on them for not participating.

Also, as I said before given a few days time I can provide the hosting. I just need to spin up a VM or 2.

Wait a minute and I'll get a node going, hadn't ran it since May.

[Chicago]

Looks like there is a full node up at 24.212.140.163.

Odd, that is the only one I see also. But all 3 of my nodes *are* up.
Have to check this weekend as to why. They are not even talking to each other.

-Dave

[lungbubble]

You guys have a node list?  When is someone going to start to push this coin again?!

[layer1gfx]

syncing again

[DaveF]

And I got this up and running:

http://www.noodlyappendagecoin.net/

Woo Hoo.

Still working on the block explorer.
If anyone has any advice on getting one working let me know.

-Dave

[nxtraordinary]

My wallet doesn't sync anymore.
Last block 282991 is two weeks old.
So far it was very easy to sync.

Now totally dead.

Hello,

     The current block height is #292889

     Please try to add the following node which is presently online in addition to the two mentioned above in the previous post.

     addnode=173.58.40.33

Kind Regards,

Hi, I am back, too! ;-)
After nearly 4 years I also still have one wallet left with a few ndl coins in it.
Sadly I am no programmer, so I can't help us with the code. But I did some research. And, what I found is interesting: The user "His Holy Noodliness", who has been initiating this whole thread, came back to post in the Onion Thread in 2017! So, he is still active in cryptocoin themes ... .

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=206157;sa=showPosts

Would be great, if he at least could help us a little bit with the bits of ndl.
I don't understand, that he obviously isn't aware of the coolness of his own ex-project.

I wish you luck!

You did a great job anyway, so far!
Would love to trade that coin one day at a platform and as a flag or promotion tool for the freedom of all science.
I think we really could need that in times like these.
So it could be much more than just a joke.

It's a pity this coin died. I think it should be restarted.

Good idea, I hope you have had all the info they need.
Only thing is: We are a bit old in code I think, though its from 2014. ;-)
But I am pretty sure, they could love NDL, anyway.
Its a nerdy coin for people with a sense of humour.
Thats why I still think, its worth a try, too.

Still working on getting a block explorer up too.
I just have not had enough free time to try again.
