[ANN][CACH] CACHeCoin released based on scrypt-jane

[rdnkjdi]

When I download and try to install the wallet from gethub binary I get "Error loading blkindex.dat".  Any ideas?

Hi there!
I suppose you need to cleanup from the previous version. I'd suggest that you make a backup of your wallet, then delete all files from the /roaming/cachecoin folder (except wallet.dat, again play safe with your wallet file!), then run the latest binary. This will net you a fresh peer list, and obviously, will have you sync'ing the blockchain again.
Good luck!

Ahhhh - that was it.  Thanks!

Wonder who's silent pumping the coin on cryptsy for days now   

No idea what you are talking about. Price is stable for weeks now. And btw it's time to move out funds from cryptsy, the new development is scary.

I'm talking about a SILENT pump...
Someone is buying lots of cach between 0.0008 and 0.001 and does it very patiently so price won't jump suddenly.

I have noticed that too. buying between 500 and 1.5k at once....

Hey guys, dasource is offering to setup a new block explorer based on abe for 0.5btc. any donations?

[Sy]

I would call that "buying in cheap" and not pumping...

Sorry if it has been asked / explained before - but I couldn't find the information.

How do I leave my wallet encrypted but unlock it for staking on LINUX with cachecoind running.

I know how to do it on Win (Help>Debug Window>Console...) but it would be easier to just leave it running on a server to stake...

Thanks
Martin

OK I think I got it from looking at the sourcecode
https://github.com/kalgecin/CACHeCoin/blob/7144c263855d6b194c26e926e6cf721553b1102a/src/bitcoinrpc.cpp#L267

I guess it's just

Code:

./cachecoind walletpassphrase XXXXXXXXXX 99999999 true

correct me if I'm wrong please.

you run

Code:

 /path/to/cachecoind <same args as in GUI> 

There's no way to do it automatically. Because that would require you to store the password in the conf file. Which makes encrypting your wallet useless.

That is correct

what does the true stand for?

[myagui]

what does the true stand for?

"true" = unlock for staking only

If "true" is declared, the wallet allows minting/staking to happen, but any spending will require the password to be input again.
If "true" is not declared, the wallet will instead be fully unlocked, allowing transactions to be executed without further password input.

Cheers,

quick question about minting via staked shares.  Will a faster CPU with multi-cores and multi-threads mint from staked coins faster?

[singula]

They are adding USD trade pairs and lock down all accounts to 1000$ daily limits as long as you dont verify yourself with official ID. That's scary.

I have noticed the USD pairs (though seem to be not working at the moment), but I have not found any information about any upcoming limits. Where have you found this?

Short answer: no.

Basically, the staking is done in a way that most inputs to a stake computation come fixed from the last block, the variables being your coins txid and the time. So as long as your CPU is fast enough to iterate over your wallet once a while (and unless you have gazillion of Cachecoin addresses, this iteration is fast, so even very weak CPU is good enough), then you're not limited by CPU at all and having a more powerful one won't help with staking.

just wanted to test this coin out. on a single 750Ti I get 4.1khash/s - is that ok? I somewhere read something about 25khash?
