[RESURRECTION] Bringing Life to Growthcoin (GRW) , MADATORY UPDATE TO 1.3.0

[ranlo]

What is the interest rate for Growthcoin?

It literally tells you right on the first post.

PoW/PoS - 100% annual interest!

I'll let you guess the interest rate based on that.

[dengnizaidongji]

i guess the price of BTC will rise to 1000 dollars.

[Jamesco]

Just wanted to give an update on my situation, I downloaded unicks updated links for the block chain. I made back ups of appdata and growthcoin ect and then replaced my blkdata files ect with the ones he linked. Changed my growthcoinconf to one with updated nodes. Loaded growthcoinqt and after 15 minutes was updated with one problem. I was missing over 100k coins.

I did a repairwallet and thankfully they appeared, although I was lacking a lot of my POS coins I had earlier acquired. My coins now have max stake I think though so no biggy. It all worked out in the end

[SolidStateSurvivor]

I wanted to try and compile the new wallet (1.3.0.0) for windows again, but the version of Debian I moved on to didn't have python-vm-builder package any more, so it wasn't going to work. I'll see if I find an older version that does.

[noobtard777]

wow this is awesome!

[unick]

Does the updated version cause a network fork, or is it just the local db which needs to be regenerated?

No these updates are mainly wallet improvements, no need to hard fork

As far as compiling for Windows, check out Gitian - this is a set of scripts that automagically use a preconfigured Linux VPS to cross compile to a Windows EXE (and optionally Linux, too). Gitian is intended to allow multiple people to independently compile an identical binary to prove that a release is clean, but it's also very handy for one-step 'doze compiling. (Once you figure out its quirks )

Thanks I'll check into that

[dengnizaidongji]

wow this is awesome!

Hey guys here are the new commits to the source.

I activated the DNS seeds witch greatly improves the get connection time when the client is freshly installed or the peers.dat file deleted. I managed to get connected within seconds with a fresh install... no config file to mess with

I have setup a dns seed host (seed.grw.blockx.info). I plan to make it an automated process so the host can scan for good nodes to connect to in realtime.

If someone wants to host another dns seed host for redundancy please do so. send me the link and I will add it to the source.

If you can setup a static node, that will also be a great addition for the network.

Don't worry, I put this up mainly so people can follow the changes and to be as transparent as possible

the URI fixes is to be able to link a growthcoin://ADDRESSHERE to the client (when you click on an address on a website to make a payment for instance).

I still have a few minor changes I want to include before I set to build the windows version. That being said, if you or someone else wants to compile, they are free to do so

I've been looking through the source and there's a few things left from the old versions, but it's coming along nicely.

Next release, say 1.3.1.x maybe we can add a "Unlock Wallet" feature/button on the "overview" page/section, like Peercoin, Mintcoin, Jackpotcoin wallets have. What do you guys say?

[dengnizaidongji]

the price of grw on allcoin.com is rising.

[noise23]

Maybe some new logos would be useful? 




Here are bigger 500x500 versions.

I'll let people choose and I will include the one people chose in the final release of version 1.3.0.0

I'm loving your updates! Do you have a listing of your "to-do" stuff so we know what to look forward to? Or just kind of knocking out things randomly?

[unick]

I'm loving your updates! Do you have a listing of your "to-do" stuff so we know what to look forward to? Or just kind of knocking out things randomly?

My goal is to bring the wallet close to the security and features of the HoboNickels wallet.  Plus some of the features mentioned by users on this thread.

So you have that to look forward too
