[ANN][THOR] THORCOIN | ASIC RESISTANT | PoS | Join the THOR Community!

[KrvnoZrnce]

Many thanks do Daanlt who mined on the new client and has mined a replacement block for the current stuck one. It seems that the coin is now working as expected. We need to get a few people updated, connected and mining for everything to start working again.

What is needed is an updated DNS seeder to be added to the source code so that updated clients can connect to each other. While the network is coming back to life it would be helpful if people could share IP info for addnode. Otherwise we will end up with people mining isolated chains some of which will be orphaned when the network fully links up again.

If anyone wants to fund additional work like porting a seeder to Thorcoin and running it then please let me know.

The updated source code is available from the link below.

https://github.com/HiroSatou/Thorcoin/

I have compiled a Windows binary for testing.

I am running an updated node on the IP address below.

-addnode=207.12.89.227

Once nodes are connected and the blockchain is ticking please note that my Thorcoin address is TKJBU85sETT712uMVfjxGzbTx3CZfvHP17

Great job! Once I setup everything and start mining I will send you 10M THOR. Is this version of client patched against heartbleed? I will continue my work on the website and hopefully we will launch it soon.
One more question. Can we see you from now as a main dev of Thorcoin? (I'm not talking about adding new features, etc, just maintaining coins stability)

The Windows client that I provided is updated against the Heartbleed vulnerability. If there is something required and a bounty can be raised then I can make the time. Coding is how I pay the bills so some kind of reward is appreciated. If all seems to be well with this patch then I will create a Windows installer and Mac version. It may be sensible to start a new thread as the original dev has disappeared.

There will need to be some discussion over the outcome of this patch. All that was done was to move the coin back to safe Peercoin settings. Looking at the comments it seems that the dev meant nTargetTimespan to be every day, however it was actually set to each hour. This is now one week the same as Peercoin. Also the block time was set to one minute which was probably the cause of the problem and has now been set back to the Peercoin time of ten minutes. However the block reward has not been adjusted to restore the original inflation model so there are currently less coins coming to market.

The discussion should be over what to do in the long term over these settings. If the blocktime is to be increased it has to be done safely. If not then perhaps the inflation model should be restored. This is not my coins so there should be consensus over this in the community.

compiling thorcoind for pool http://bee-thor.daan.lt
atm you can add those nodes to sync: addnode=86.100.200.19 addnode=86.100.200.4

Great coin and i believe that it will gain some tracktion soon. Great job HiroS you are the best...

[HiroS]

Thanks for the donations.

I think what is needed going forward is for someone with some free time to come forward as a Thorcoin strategic planner and representative. Someone who can relaunch this coin, map out future work and contact services who do or might support Thorcoin. I am happy to provide some support for this person like technical information and coin development.

The two things that need doing ASAP are as follows, if you want to take a task on please state on here.

1. Inform services that use Thorcoin to update

This is something that everyone can get involved in. If you know of a service that supports Thorcoin please send them a message as soon as possible telling them to update their local Thorcoin daemon with the one from the GitHub linked here.

Also there is an exchange that supports Thorcoin linked in below. I have posted on their forum about this update and sent a PM to their mods but have not heard back from them. As far as I know this is the only exchange that supports Thorcoin so it is vital that they update their client.

https://www.scificryptoexchange.com/#/trade/exchange/31

If you contact someone please let us know here though if you see that a certain service has already been contacted feel free to contact them again until they actually update their systems.

2. Post a new Announcement thread

The original dev has gone so there is no control of the original post on this thread which is potentially dangerous as people will be downloading or building the wrong client. We need a new thread with links to the update GitHub repo and built Windows client. Who ever wants to take this on can give me a kick for support over things like update clients and technical support. The new announcement thread should be the place to go to find all Thorcoin resources. Perhaps it is sensible that an account is set up to announce the updated client and that account is shared to several people to share the work and responsibility.

Again please post your interest here. You can add me on Skype with hirosatou071

Comkort and Europex also support Thorcoin. I will send them emails to let them know.

Hi! maybe is a stupid question but... what kind of algorithm use this coin? i was trying to mine with Scrypt-A-NFactor in the http://bee-thor.daan.lt/ pool but nothing, also try it with normal Scrypt (is at the info section of the pool "how to") but also nothing, only rejected...
Thanks in advance

How important is this Updated DNS seeder? Will Thorcoin be ok without it or are we walking another tightrope hoping it won't crash again?
What is it going to take to get this programming done?

A DNS seeder helps new clients connect to others on the network. You see many coins launch without such a thing and then users end up sharing addnode information. It looks a lot more professional to have something like this for a coin. Thorcoin is okay without such a thing. My time is very tight doing commissioned work and when I am free I need to get on to Hirocoin before anything else.

Checking scificryptoexchange.com they seem to have updated their daemon as I am able to withdraw some Thorcoin from there.

Off one of their web pages: 

Info! Europex is unlisting THOR . Please cancel your orders and withdraw your coins before Sunday 8th June 20h00 UTC, else your coins will be destroyed.

[Litte]

Im not understand , what is this info ? - and where im  trade my thorcoins ? Im withdraw my thorcoins from sci-fi on june 9 2014 without problems , whats happened to the destruction of coins after june 8 2014 ?

[HunterS]

if who ever has taken this coin over wants people to become interested the stake of 1 year really needs to be looked at.that is just stupid

[hanoosh]

is it stuck again ? 9 days behind ?

Hi, thanks but this miner, at least in my computer is not working. I have a nvida card and use the cudaminer. Maybe knowing what kind of algo is using the coin would be possible to use it. I try Scrypt-Jane only but it is also not working...
