[RE-ANN] Galaxycoin Revival! KGW, POS/POW hybrid [TRADING ON CRYPTSY]

[icecube45]

Tompool.org pool is updated to the latest GLX fork

Woohoo

[soopy452000]

We need atleast 10 more nodes with the updated client.

FYI, I was able to use the zip to get a FreeBSD (64 bit) compile of the new client kickstarted. Had no luck syncing until I downloaded the correct blockchain.

Please share your info, are you running the qt-client or galaxycoind ? How did you get the zip file contents to be accepted on the FreeBSD system ?

What is the annual interest rate?

Anybody?

0.5% 5 - 15 days!

Is that 0.5% annual interest or interest in 5-15 days?

Just galaxycoind. Didn't have to do anything, the (Windows generated?) database file appears to be binary compatible with my FreeBSD client. I am actually surprised to hear that there would be a conflict across platforms.

Are you unzipping the archive into the correct directory? It needs to be your "datadir" - same directory as your wallet.dat

cd /path/to/datadir
unzip galaxycoinblockchain.zip
/path/to/galaxycoind -datadir=/path/to/datadir/ &

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. I have tried the solution you describe but galaxycoind exits with the message it can't load blkindex.dat.

Try this:

/path/to/galaxycoind -loadblock=/path/to/datadir/blk0001.dat --datadir=/path/to/datadir/ [[Additional Commands Here]]

Finally figured it out, it is a file permission problem, if I run 'sudo galaxycoind' it does work, somehow the default user is not given the correct permissions to the files included in the zip file. It remains a mystery to me why this only happens with this specific daemon, I am running a p2pool server and none of the other daemons have these issues, so still worth looking into The good news is that since my poolserver is up 24x7 you can add my node 87.209.206.80 to the list of nodes on the correct fork/chain

Excellent!

OK, folks; the list of folks on the new client is around 40%.

Much better than yesterday but still not quite there yet.

I will be posting some helpful bits for folks who still may be having trouble updating shortly.

Maybe also a good idea to update the first post in this thread with the correct nodes in the sample galaxycoin.conf

Seconded; icecube45 can you do this soon??

Script for installing GalaxyCoin 2.0 daemons on Linux Hosts

Link here: http://galaxypool.chriskoeber.com/galaxycoinlinux.sh

You can easily execute this script on any Bash shell with the following code (running as root or other user with appropriate permissions):

Code:

wget -O galaxycoinlinux.sh http://galaxypool.chriskoeber.com/galaxycoinlinux.sh
chmod +x galaxycoinlinux.sh
./galaxycoinlinux.sh

You will also be presented with the option of downloading the correct blockchain, etc.

Follow all directions. Verified to work under Gentoo Linux but once I get verification from others on different platforms I will update where appropriate.

[ckoeber]

Is that 0.5% annual interest or interest in 5-15 days??

The latter; 5-15 day interest. Sometimes a little longer depending on block movement but nowhere near a year.

I'm back guys, will do that now

Main post updated with new information and instructions

EDIT: on a sidenote, I'd love a graphic artist to get in touch with me

[niothor]

Is the coin completely revived or is still in zombie state?

[ckoeber]

80% there

We still have Coinwars and the exchanges on the old fork/blockchain but we now have a solid pathway for everyone else to get on the new fork and blockchain.

[supercodebunny]

Putting the early block chain as a zip file was pure genius. I am going to suggest that in every coin forum that I belong to.

when I ran  ./galaxycoinlinux.sh  the code did not compile. In fact, it deleted the code, after it downloaded it from git. At least there was nothing in the galycoin directory except for .git

I will post a page, and post in the forum, directions for getting it to build on debian, and ubuntu. It is really easy to build.

I had built the daemon from source, but it got hung on block 19000 something. I am assuming there was a fork there, and a lot of old servers are posting orphan nodes. The zip file was magic. Now it all works.

THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
