★ ZEIT ★ [COMMUNITY & KNIGHTS] [ULTRA LOW INFLATION] [MICRO-PAYMENTS]

[Bluemustang]

Hey guys, its been awhile since i've posted on here but im back and could use some advice.  I got computer running on an ssd now and i cant afford to have the huge database file sizes to be on my ssd.  I'm trying to set a symbolic junction link as ive done before with other files but no matter what i try the wallet tells me "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way." after i set the junction and closes whenever i try to start the wallet.

Any ideas?  Thanks

If you want blockchain/wallet on an another Hdd: Properties of a zeitcoin shortcut:  C:\whereYouHaveZeitFiles\Zeitcoin-qt.exe -datadir=D:\SomewhereElse

I'd appreciate a more expanded, step-by-step, version of exactly how to do this as I have the same prob - My 120GB SSD is getting full with the wallets I have stored there - BTC, LTC, Zeit, VRC, BYC & the 7 Blake wallets.

I created a shortcut and added what you said to the end of the line inside target and it says "The name "F:\Internet Downloads\zeitcoin-qt.exe"-datadir=D:\Crypto\zeitcoin' specified in the target box is not valid.

It's unclear from your inserted quotation mark, but I think there should be a space between .exe and -datadir.

Sweet adding the space helped thanks.

Glad to be of help. Using a ssd-based computer for minting is a neat wrinkle!

As an interlude, I'd like to touch upon something that I personally find interesting. I've brought some recent posts together. Bluemustang mentioned ssd (solid state drives). I have two Asus 901 net-books that are ssd-based. They have limited storage capacities, but can be expanded with SD cards up 32Gb. I've always resisted the temptation to mint POS with them and transferring onto a SD cards.

OK fellow Zeitcoinistas, please share any experience you may have with 901s, or similar machines - I suspect Bluemustang is using one. He has always struck me as being particularly savvy! SSD computers use far less less energy. I've been wary of possible, limited over-write issues in using extended SD memory cards in slots on SSD machines. I have an open mind. Please convince me to deploy my 901s! Your experience is valid.

Nope, I am using a custom high end gaming rig.  Multiple GPUs, SSD, multiple HDDs etc.  Never got into mobile stuff much, just doesnt have the power i love or the mod-ability (my rig has got custom water cooling setup with AIO coolers on the CPU and both GPUs).  Ok i'll stop talking about my hobby

[BainbridgeJ]

To Bluemustang ... and here's me thinking that you were putting an old net-book to good use! I know some do for POS coins because of power efficiency. Sounds like you are into lots of coins though. POW, POS and any hybrid in between. And talking about coins units of barter, that reminds me:

Forgot to re-post this from XBC thread:

Pro staker tip: (ahem .. me   )

- Get a cheap Intel Mobo. AS Rock H61 or H81 Pro BTC are dirt cheap now and do not need a GPU, due to HDMI port on mobo,
- Q3220 Intel CPU - dirt cheap as well,
- add some RAM - 4GB enough, 8GB better,
- and a HDD, or SSD .. 60GB enough, 120GB better,
- cheap ass PSU .. 250W is plenty.

And Voila! You have a staking machine which uses 50W power and is silent (if using SSD, no clack clack from HDD) makes more money than a $1000 mining rig right now. Best thing, can have a dozen coins staking full time.

So .. $200 tops for staking rig, spend $800 on 2 BTC and buy Zeits. ~ 400Mil Zeit at this silly low price. Make 40mil coins until March PoS reduction and still have all the original coins.

... Sounds good! How would you put it all together though? What box do you recommend to put it all into?

My Asus 901 SSD net-books are rated at 36W (max), so for pure, one-on-one, POS minting I should imagine they would perform well too. I must try one out see what power it actually consumes in staking.

I've never found minting to be that much of a problem with Zeitcoin. It's quick and easy.  Just sync up every now-and-then and ... pop, pop, pop ... the POS interest payments flood through.

Low power set-ups come in handy for POS coins where the difficulty is high and there are very low maximum coin-block sizes for optimum POS. On such coins it is more like mining - a bit of a pain in the neck - small POS coin-blocks fragmenting into smaller blocks all over the place. This makes it necessary to keep a computer staking for long periods.

That's one of the reasons why I like Zeitcoin. Quick and easy. Power efficient. I think that should be emphasised as a selling point.

For the 1st time in recorded history, there will be a world resource that can be used as a unit of exchange between individuals for Virtual or Physical goods & service not corrupted by banking corporations, kings, or corrupt governments.

Only problem with that theory is that this "world resource" is still highly oligarchical in nature. It is true that everyone has to consent to the new changes that are being made, but it is still "managed" to a certain degree. It is true that there is no "federal reserve" for Bitcoin, but the truth is that if the developers of Bitcoin were to get together with the exchanges, key businesses and pool operators and coordinate a hard fork, then the rest of the masses will have to make the change or else their Bitcoins will be useless.

And what if the masses don't accept the changes? Well we've seen what happens in that scenario play out in countless alt-coin communities, esp with pump and dump communities. Often the results benefit only the people who jumped ship before shit hit the fan. Many times the community simply fractures, or disintegrates entirely because everyone stops using the digital resource and thus you have "dead coins" with no real market value.

So yea, Rent-A-Ray, behold the mighty power and influence that you wield. No pressure or anything.

Guys i finally got my wallet back online today, for the first time in 148 days, and it immediately minted 4 times.  It should have minted 7 times though, what gives?

(it also mined a bunch of times while the wallet was syncing the last day but obviously didnt complete as the wallet wasnt done syncing yet, i temporarily disabled minting until the wallet was synced but then it only minted 4 times)

[stevegreer]

Just be patient. Minting isn't an exact science. The minted blocks are still trying to compete for their spots on the blockchain with blocks from all of the other wallets on the network. Your minted blocks will be accepted eventually.

In your last post you said that the latest Wallet is 2.0.1.4. I couldn't see it to download on the website. The latest there is 2.0.1.3.

Is 2.0.1.4 about to be released, or was it just a typo?

Cheers

@ BainbridgeJ,
Ray posted it a few pages back

FYI:
Only Difference between 2.0.1.4 & 2.0.1.3 is 2.0.1.4 has an added block explorer.

Thanks Kiklo! I'm still on wallet 2.0.1. I'll download the new wallet and get it ready to transfer over to after a batch of large mintings hatch in the middle of December.

• Can anyone tell me how to withdraw from the wallet without it affecting POS too much?

• Is there a way to home in onto an interest amount minted, for instance, and isolate it to be withdrawn, so that all the other coin-blocks are not affected POS-wise?

In the Zeit Wallet , click settings then options,then display tab ,
Place a check mark beside Display coin control features (experts only)
Click Apply & OK .

Click on Send Coins, Click Inputs , click the arrow beside the address you want to send from,
It then lists all of the blocks with the amounts in them, click Confirmations , this will sort the blocks in order , only send the blocks with the lowest # of confirmations. You chose which blocks to send by placing a check mark in the box to the left of the amount.
Blocks with the lowest confirmations were recently minted or received.
Blocks with higher confirmations are closer to minting, so you never want to send those if you can wait.
You can also look at the date, but I use confirmations.

This is such an interesting project 

[BainbridgeJ]

Kiklo ... Thanks!!!

If you wrote a guide on how to use the advanced coin control features of Zeitcoin, I'd definitely be interested in buying it on Coinpayments - with Zeitcoins of course!  

I wonder what else would be of interest to barter Zeitcoins for? Perhaps we should start thinking about that now!

Hi Guys

I just posted this on ZapChain - and tweeted about it. OK, it's not ALL about Zeitcoin but hey, you know how I roll by now

... Sounds good! How would you put it all together though? What box do you recommend to put it all into?..

Not using a box, but an open frame I used for mining before the summer. Sure it gathers dust on the CPU, but doesn't matter.

Frankly you can just use a non-static bag under the mobo and leave it open (like how I test components out of the box).

If one has a spare PC, Laptop or spare parts lying around, knock em together and invest in PoSing. Is worth the effort for most part.

I was thinking more on the lines of microwave emission from an unshielded board. But it seems that it is now common practice not to bother with covers because of the heat dissipation factor. Your set-up for professional, multiple coin staking is worth taking note of though.

I find Zeitcoin is easy to mint on a variety of computers, old and new, with just a catch-up sync a few times a month. I wish that was the case for all POS coins, but it's not.
