I don't think seed nodes are live

[Heiwabitnull]

Seed nodes are online. They are Tor hidden services .onion addresses.
You need Tor running on port 9050 to connect.
Start with:

./rxbd -daemon -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050

Network is onion-only by design. Currently 15 active connections confirmed.

waiting on a windows prebuilt binary.

and also will this be a sha-256 cpu mining forever, gpu/asic resistant?

[Heiwabitnull]

Please take look on the main post there are the links to download the binaries.
In the GitHub source code there is also a link to the project website where you can easily download the binaries for Linux or if you prefer for Windows
.


First Windows binaries are available at
https[Suspicious link removed]

SHA-256 PoW is the consensus algorithm. RXB uses Zaworski LWMA difficulty adjustment per block but the more CPU miners join the network the more stable and secure it becomes. GPU and ASIC can mine too but the network is designed to be accessible for home CPU miners. For now No plans to change the PoW algorithm.
Sample RXB node configuration examples and setup guide

Install Tor:
sudo apt install tor

Start Tor:
sudo systemctl enable tor
sudo systemctl start tor

Then simply create config directory:
mkdir -p ~/.rxb

I apologize for not mentioning this earlier.
I have received several questions on my email about coin availability after mining.

RXB coinbase maturity is 50 blocks.
This simply means that after you mine a block you need to wait for 50 more blocks to be mined by the network before your coins become spendable.

I would also like to thank everyone who has already installed a node and started mining.
Every node strengthens the network and every miner contributes to its security and stability. Thank You.

I've mined a few coins now.
What's next?
Will there be an explorer and a pool for the coin?

[yoshikiazuma]

ive now managed to setup tor and connected to the rxb network and i am now synced

ive tried the following commands in the console but im having an issue getting the miner started and give me this error:

thanks and thanks again to you, ive start mining few minutes ago and ive just hit a block. first block yay!

(:

[Heiwabitnull]

Congratulations on mining your first block!
The network is young and the difficulty level is still low, so it's a great time to start mining.
Please keep your private keys safe and never share them with anyone and back up your wallet file at least once every two weeks and store it somewhere secure.


Within the next month I hope to complete a transaction that will contain the hash of a document recorded using OP_RETURN.
Notarizing documents is one of the main goals of the RXB system.
I'm simply waiting for an important document that will be suitable for this.
 
I hope this post doesn't irritate the moderators and I don't want to clutter forum with a new threads for this update so please bear with me.
Bitcoin miners, please consider RXB mining as an additional quest that does not require significant computing power and can be ryn on home computers.

I would also be interested to hear what the community thinks about the LWMA difficulty adjustment in RXB.

Does it perform well in your view?
Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you for joining the RXB network.

Official Update for RXBcore (RXB)

CoinMarketCap Verification
Ticket ID: 1350602
This is an official confirmation that the CoinMarketCap listing/update request for RXBcore (RXB) was submitted by the project.

Official repository:
https://github.com/Heiwabitnull/rxb-core

Additional resources:
https://github.com/Heiwabitnull/RXB-Whitepaper.git

This post serves as public proof of authenticity of the request.

A call for miners
If you have a gaming PC or a home computer with a strong CPU or GPU, I invite you to start mining RXB. The project needs a steady growth of nodes and hashrate. The consensus parameters are well-balanced for a fair network. Join us and start mining.

Social Media and Community
I do not use social media, especially Twitter or other such platforms. If anyone wants to promote RXB by creating and managing social media profiles, it would be a massive help to the project.
Official site:
https://rxbcore.org

GitHub:
https://github.com/Heiwabitnull/rxb-core
The simplest set of commands for new users starting RXB mining.

This guide works if:
1. RXB node is already installed and compiled in the Downloads directory
2. Tor is installed and running
3. Tor hidden service has already been configured

After completing the above steps and starting Tor you can use the following commands:

~/Downloads/RXBcore/src/rxbd -daemon

~/Downloads/RXBcore/src/rxb-cli createwallet "your_wallet_name"

~/Downloads/RXBcore/src/rxb-cli -rpcwallet=your_wallet_name encryptwallet "your_strong_password_here"

 After encryption the RXB daemon might stop. Restart it then load and unlock your wallet:

~/Downloads/RXBcore/src/rxbd -daemon

~/Downloads/RXBcore/src/rxb-cli loadwallet "your_wallet_name"

~/Downloads/RXBcore/src/rxb-cli -rpcwallet=your_wallet_name walletpassphrase "your_strong_password_here" 259200

~/Downloads/RXBcore/src/rxb-cli -rpcwallet=your_wallet_name getnewaddress

# copy your generated address and replace "your_RXB_address_here"


~/Downloads/RXBcore/src/rxb-cli startmining "your_rxb_address_here" 4

   and If you want to mine using one thread then use this command:
~/Downloads/RXBcore/src/rxb-cli startmining "your_rxb_address_here" 1

 Check status and balance:
~/Downloads/RXBcore/src/rxb-cli getmininginfo

~/Downloads/RXBcore/src/rxb-cli -rpcwallet=your_wallet_name getbalance

~/Downloads/RXBcore/src/rxb-cli stopmining

Thanks for reading.

Official Update for RXBcore (RXB)
Hi.
New RXB binaries for Linux and Windows are now available on GitHub:
https://github.com/Heiwabitnull/rxb-core-binaries

What's new:
- Checkpoint at block 3500 has been added
- Source code updated accordingly
- Both Linux (tar.gz) and Windows (setup.exe) binaries are signed with my GPG binary release key

All binaries are available directly from the repository. Signatures (.asc files) are provided for verification purposes.

Official RXB repository:
https://github.com/Heiwabitnull/rxb-core

Official RXB website:
https://rxbcore.org



Current development focus:

In an era where corporations and governments increasingly encroach upon individual privacy people must have tools that afford them the same level of encrypted communication as that employed by governments and diplomatic services.
Work is presently underway on such a system.
It will utilise RXB coins for payments and new version of RXB Core will be released.

Prior to that release the current version will be updated to include bridge nodes contributed by community members.
One such bridge node enabling clearnet users to connect to the RXB network is currently undergoing testing.
Once testing is complete then bridge node will be added to repository.

Contact for bridge node submissions:
Heiwabit0@protonmail.com

Will there be an explorer and a pool for the coin?

  > @worgon12 Sorry but No explorer or mining pool planned at this stage.
Infrastructure costs are being directed for setting up a bridge node first which will allow clearnet users to connect to the RXB onion network.
Explorer may come later if the community grows.
Network has been running stable and uninterrupted since February 28th and solo mining works well given the low difficulty.
For transparency:  I personally hold only 3 addresses with no more than 800 coins total.
The rest of the blocks I mine go to addresses with no private keys so those coins are permanently unspendable.

Hi, is RXB mainnet activated or it is a testnet?

Prior to that release the current version will be updated to include bridge nodes contributed by community members.

I don't understand what is that mean? You talking about seeds?

Hello  BoozyTalking.

Its simple RXB mainnet has been live since February 28th.
There is no testnet because one of the core principles of RXB is keeping the code and the chain lean.
Anything that is redundant for operation takes up unnecessary space so technical users who understand minimalism can simply mine their own Genesis block and run a local chain for testing purposes.
And NO for Ordinals there is no place for them in RXB I consider that protocol to be something that simply litters the chain unnecessarily.

Seed nodes using onion and VPS bridges are two different things.
Nodes using onion seeds are regular RXB nodes operating as Tor hidden services.
The VPS bridges which have not yet been in RXB are bridges where RXB nodes will run to help future new users easily join the network during their first launch specifically for users who don't know how to install and how to use Tor hidden services.
Every currently operating RXB node is a node using Tor hidden services.
Bridge nodes are different because their task is to connect users who do not use Tor hidden services so that people not using Tor can still connect to RXB.
Im are currently/testing configuring two bridge nodes.
One of them was provided by a community member from Poland who has a VPS and the second one I rented myself and am testing to ensure it is stable enough.
Once both pass the tests then their addresses and configurations will be added to repository.

If you run an RXB node without Tor hidden services running then your node will only see the Genesis block and will never synchronize with the rest of the network.
If you start mining in this state then your coins will be not valid because your chain will not match the real one so please Always start Tor hidden services before running the RXB daemon.
Bridge nodes will solve this problem for people who don't feel confident using Tor which likely applies to most Windows users.
I may be wrong but I think most Linux users are familiar enough with Tor services.
