[DEAD] Coiledcoin - yet another cryptocurrency, but with OP_EVAL!

[Ycekezuv]

In my opinion, there is no point in pouring it into it.  The system is completely unfinished!

[markm]

Well the blockchain IS still moving, albeit slowly, and the players who use it have started thinking about starting a Civilisation whose currency it will be so that they can support it with the full backing of an actual "nation" in the game. I do not know how long it will take for the difficulty to adjust downward enough for the blockchain to move at a more reasonable speed, or for more hashing power to be applied to get it moving better, but players are not particuarly concerned about the slowness of the blockchain since most activity will probably take place on the HORIZON and Stellar platforms.

CoiLedCoin (CLC) can be traded on the Stellar network, see http://makemoney.knotwork.com/stellar/

Does anyone have any links to the wallets?
Someone should post them someplace. Yeah, it's an old just about dead coin but it's still an important part of crypto history.

Not sure if this is really the copy I am still using, but I have one in my Galactic Milieu sourceforge account:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/galacticmilieu/files/CoiLedCoin/

Hmm actually I guess I am pretty sure that is NOT the one I am using, as consulting my source directory on compiling machine I find this:

Code:

markm@DotThree:~/src/Cryptocoins/coiledcoin-git/.git$ cat config
[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
        url = https://github.com/mmpool/coiledcoin.git
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/master
markm@DotThree:~/src/Cryptocoins/coiledcoin-git/.git$

So I guess I am using the one the mmpool (merged mining pool) guy made way back when.

Located at https://github.com/mmpool/coiledcoin

As it seems to be 8 years old, maybe it actually IS the same one; the package on my sourceforge might just be a tar.gz copy of my coiledcoin-git directory.

Thanks, I will take a look at the code.
On a side note I picked up coiledcoin.org and coiledcoin.com going to see if I can get a copy of the original site.
It's probably a waste of time, but since it was an interesting piece of crypto history I want to keep it around.

-Dave

[DaveF]

Hmmm, will not compile.
Going to have to figure out what my system does not like about the old code.
Threw too many errors to post going to go do some googling.
Do you have anything compiled I can grab while I work on it?

Thanks,
Dave

[gjhiggins]

Going to have to figure out what my system does not like about the old code.

There are a host of forward-incompatible issues to be resolved (Qt4->5, Boost1.4->1.6, OpenSSL1.0->1.1). Perhaps a better approach that acknowledges the historical focus is to try compiling on a VM hosting a suitable vintage OS (OS X 10.5, Ubuntu 14.04 or Windows 7).

Cheers

Graham.

I did try on a 14.04 but it was not a "clean" setup I had already installed some stuff to compile other things.
Probably try spinning up another one with just what is on the install CDs / DVDs and see if that works without trying for dependencies from outside sources. Most of which you cant easily find anymore.

Thanks,
Dave

 I almost never make a GUI of any coin, I run daemons.

I am on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS still, presumably I was able to compile the daemon on that.

I probably never even tried to build the GUI.

-MarkM-

[sorryforthat]

I was able to compile. Does anyone have any nodes?

[markm]

LFM.knotwork.com aka DVCstable01.dvcnode.org

It will know of others presumably.

It runs all my coins so should have the other related coins too.

Thank you. I was able to get it synced. 22GB+ Blockchain, took about a week. I have two more nodes that can help speed up any other users looking to download the blockchain.

Did you use the directions that gjhiggins posted or some other method?

I tried following the steps that he posted but it did not work. Then corona happened and I have had no time to really dig into it. Probably something that I did wrong but till I can carve out a couple of hours of free time it just is not going to happen
Also, what OS?

I just made the daemon with the standard commands

Code:

make -f makefile.unix

Out of curiosity, I just tried to compile the linux qt wallet. I was able to compile on 16.04 just fine. To be honest, I did not do anything out the ordinary. I just ran

Code:

qmake
make

Here is a link that contains the qt wallet built on 16.04 and I also included the daemon.

https://mega.nz/file/aEAS2AwQ#oHNoHiK8v2yZi85rf_gmVJ3DNovvEprpLsOo4VAYJgo

Just so that we have some documentation for others who may have issues in the future. Can you please let us know what errors you came across, so that we can provide some solutions.

If anyone can build a windows wallet, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the download links.
I really don't remember the errors it was 3+ months ago. I kind of remember this but it could be wrong:
The 14.04 which I admit had a lot of oddball stuff installed looked like it compiled but it would not run. Gave a bunch of errors.
The 18.04 gave a ton of cannot find this package or dependency errors.

Work was getting busy with a before lock-down rush so I never did anything more. If I have time I will spin up the VMs that I tried to do it on and see what errors I got.

Thanks again and stay safe.

No worries. Let me know if you have any issues with those files. I compiled on a VPS and then ran them on a VM on my windows machine. So it should work fine as long as you get all the depends. Also, replaced the previous wallet links with a Mega link. The others expire after 30 days and I want it to be available longer.

[markm]

Many/most old coins use an old Berkely DB for the wallet, as Bitcoin still does.

So I usually first use the instructions for Bitcoin, involving activating a repository that holds those as well as bitcoin itself, to get that old BDB 4.8 installed.

After that often old coins compile fine, at least the daemon; I almost never even attempt to build a GUI, since I mostly run coins on machines I "ssh" and 'sftp" to.

I was able to mine some. I merge mined it for a bit and it was working without any issues. If anyone would like some to play around with, give me your address.
