[9 TH] Bitparking Pool, DGM 0%,vardiff,stratum,Merge Mining

[Kuroth]

I am glad you broght that up.. So I can have all my address(except for Bitcoin) setup on Cryptsy and I can mine to those address?  And thus dont have to run the Wallets for them on my PC?

I must have spent 2 hrs yesterday messing with that damn Cmd line Nameoin Wallet and was about ready to thorw my PC out the wondow..

I did not know you could mine directly to places like Cryptsy

Yes, you can.
Of course, there are risks, if Cryptsy disappears or loses its keys, the addresses won't work.
p2pools have issues with that method however.

Doesn't look like Cryptsy has Groupcoin

Oh yes I forgot about Groupcoin..  Does Groupcoin have a nice easy to use wallet?


Something yesterday happend and I am not sure what it is..  I was D/L and running all the Wallets this pool supports and I now have one Wallet that is says Bitoin when I opne it up but it is NOT my Bitcoin wallet..  I dont know what this is or which coin its assoicated with..  It just says Bitcoin but the Icon and stuff looke different..  Anyone know which Walet this might be?

Ok.. Will do..  I did not think of that..  LOL..  But I am at work so will be in about 7 hrs before I can post it..


Thanks..

Hey Bitpop I see you sometimes in the Knc thread.. You have some on order?

[Kuroth]

Oh yes I forgot about Groupcoin..  Does Groupcoin have a nice easy to use wallet?

No, and it's a nightmare to compile.

Is Groupcoin on Cryptsy?

Cool..  Thanks for that Info..  Namecoin was the only one I was having trouble with setting up so I will use Cryptsy for that I guess..  But I can see the dangers of doing this as you guys noted..  


I still REALLY like the Auto Exchange to BTC and hope this pool would consider it..   Just for really busy people it comes in handy not having to manage and excnage all the different coins but have the pool do it and just send you the BTC for them..    I would for sure pay an Auto Exchange Fee to have this at this pool..

Again, wallets are best, and if I can figure out the namecoin client, I'm guessing you can, too.

However, if you choose to use an exchange, I recommend https://vircurex.com/.

Yea I am not done fighting with the Namecoin Wallet LOL..  Actually I think the part that is caused me the most Greff is the Windows & permissions


You can have coins sent from a pool directly to vircurex?  I thoght I read somewhere you could not?

Same here..

You going to upgrade?  I am 90% leaning towards upgrading..  Got to decide soon.

It's recommended not to for any exchange, but if you're going to use one, I recommend https://vircurex.com/.

You can, but it is not a very good idea. Your bitparking NMC address, for example, is hard-wired to your bitparking account. Vircurex and other exchanges sometimes change your receiving address, though. Each time this happens, you have to give up your bitparking account and create a new one.

There is a Namecoin QT Wallet:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=236375.0

Oh yes I forgot about Groupcoin..  Does Groupcoin have a nice easy to use wallet?

Sadly not. The Groupcoind seem only to compile under Linux, and the wxWindows Wallet is even more a pain in the ass.

Something yesterday happend and I am not sure what it is..  I was D/L and running all the Wallets this pool supports and I now have one Wallet that is says Bitoin when I opne it up but it is NOT my Bitcoin wallet..  I dont know what this is or which coin its assoicated with..  It just says Bitcoin but the Icon and stuff looke different..  Anyone know which Walet this might be?

Thank you Sir....  Appricated..

[bronan]

for those fearing a deamon from namecoin this might make you very very happy

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=236375.0

yes the long awaited and very handy gui version

[fsb4000]

 will there  be groupcoin windows binary ?

[Lucko]

You can also use Ufasoft Coin for NMC... It has a lot of coins in... But it doesn't work well for BTC... At lest on my computer... It takes ages to download chain...

[Apheration]

Yeah the namecoin-qt client for me took almost 24 hours to download the blockchain, becoming unresponsive quite often while doing so and I couldn't tell if it was totally frozen and should restart it or let it be.  After just leaving it alone, like I said after about 24 hours it was finally synced.  The other client "namecoinGUI" downloaded it MUCH faster and never froze, however I could not get it to use a custom data directory, and I kept running out of diskspace (it used c:/user/PROFILENAME/appdata/roaming/namecoin).  Should have made my windows partition bigger lol.


edit: Wow we're about to hit 24 hours for the current round: MORE POWER TO THE TURBINES!! How much power do you ask??

1.21 JIGGAWATTS!!!

[bronan]

well if you have other bigger partitions you can play with mklink

short guide for usage:

make anywhere on other disc a full move of the coin you are going to change the data map this ofcourse prevents you from loosing your precious
in my case i move the map onto my network drive (nas)

so the map on c:\blah blah blah must be gone for this to work
then use this command where you replace the "USERNAME" with the one you actually have

to do this you need to start a cmd as administrator in win 7 and higher you can do that by pressing windows key+X and select admin prompt there

mklink /J C:\Users\"USERNAME"\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin H:\Bitcoin << here the place you want it

you can do this with any coin you have

for instance i moved my namecoin to my nas on H:

mklink /J C:\Users\"USERNAME"\AppData\Roaming\Namecoin H:\NMC

there i had put my moved the namecoin files into and ofcourse made also for security reasons another copy of the wallet.dat elsewhere

Now comes my problem with i0coin up till now all worked fine but all of a sudden the i0coin client refused to open the old wallet
So i went looking for a newer version of the program and found it
Then i started this newer version to find it refuses to open the old wallet, now on itself something worth nothing is not that bad yet

But if the coin gets some tiny value it would be nice if i could get it into the new version

When i open the old program it crashes and whines about a T-fork and thats it no opening or checks simple poof gone

This gave me another problem as well since i had made a new name on the bitparking to get these coins and ofcourse with that failing address

Does anyone know how i can get these coins to be merged back into the new or are they lost forever like many other coins


 

[bitpop]

My nmc change directory works

[Apheration]

@bronan - thank you!  And I'm sorry I can't be of similar help but I can say that I simply extracted the new version of the i0coin client over the old one and it loaded my wallet.dat just fine.
