[ANN] MON | Monocle | Merge Mined on VTC Vertcoin - No Premine - Scrypt-N

[mega]

Unfortunately I'll be missing the launch

Boris, when will be the passwords released? I'm thinking in pre-configure my miner, so my wife could easy start it at the launch. I'll be ON until tomorrow night (8pm London/Lisbon)

Cheers,
mega

Cool I will try this coin out never merged mined before

Brilliant idea, ask Dev to create and address for you and PM you with it and private key, mine p2pool using MON address as a password. Then import private key to your wallet when you came back.

Any hints on what exchanges MON will be traded on?

Haha, sorry, wrong thread - not only do I have no idea what exchanges it will be traded on, I have no idea _if_ any exchanges will trade it! Just like VTC, we won't be bribing anyone to trade it etc. so if people want to trade it and exchanges want to, you know, earn trading fees, they can add it.

Sorry, guys, I am still a bit confused here, so please help me out. I am running a private Ubuntu-based p2pool node where I am the only miner.

Here is the step-by-step that I am going to follow:

Code:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/erkmos/monocle/
cd ~/monocle/src
make -f makefile.unix

### I assume ~/.vertcoin/vertcoin.conf stays the same

cd ~/monocle/src
monocled --server

python run_p2pool.py --net vertcoin --give-author 0 -a VTC_PAYOUTADDRESS --merged http://MONOCLE_PAYOUTADDRESS:X@127.0.0.1:6888 -f 0 -w 9172

Currently, I have encrypted Windows wallet and I pass VTC address as username (-u) in miner configuration. So, now, I have
several options:

a. Use daemon monocle wallet (but it is not encrypted and I never tried that).
b. Use Monocle Windows wallet (encrypt it) and pass monocle address as password (-p) to miner config.

So, what's best to use and what am I doing wrong here?

Specifying a monocle address as password does not work with the solo-mining way, also it should be http://RPCUSER:RPCPASSWORD@127.0.0.1:6888 so if you have

Code:

rpcuser=bing
rpcpassowrd=bong

in your monocle.conf, then you'd connected with --merged http://bing:bong@127.0.0.1:6888

I would like to join as well.
I have not seen when the wallet password gets released and I would like to preconfigure my miner for it.
Has this info been released yet and it is something we can do?

The wallet password will be released when the coin is launched

Thank you for the answer. I am not solo mining since I am on p2pool #1 network.
So, to specify monocle address I would HAVE TO pass it as password in vertminer configuration?

The wallet password will be released when the coin is launched

Hi

Thx, this is pretty much what I was asking.
@sammy007:Not asking for PM, just saying that if passwords would be released until 8pm today would be nice to pre configure my miner.
Didn't get the sarcasm...

It's impossible.

I am definitely lucky bastard, I just found 2 almost sequential VTC blocks solo using my 3 GPU. Will mine Monocle solo at least for a week and I am going to set up p2pool for me and my friends.

I am running 16-20Mh vertcoin farm and could only get 1 block per day on average with 200 difficulty. With 200+ difficulty it is much harder but I am wondering if there is an advantage to solo mine now with merged coin to get the most hashes...

how long after start will be mon running on OP specified P2Ps, are they pre prepared, and it will be done in a minute, or in some longer time ?
will be there updated ports for connecting too ?
thanks

[mmouse]

Ports: Mainnet RPC port 6888, mainnet P2P blockchain sync port 6889. Testnet RPC 16888 and p2p 16889.

By the way, did anyone notice that 6889 is the port of the h2ocoin network? Not a big coin, really, but there are enough other ports, aren't there?

Didn't know that, there are a little too many coins to keep track of what ports they all use. I don't think it will be an issue though.

Any chance we could at least get instructions up tonight? I know the source/wallet won't be available till tomorrow, but it would be nice to know what I'll actually have to do in detail a good amount of time beforehand since Ill be updating my personal linux p2pool server.

Yes, Good to know when we are expecting the updates so know the things should be done at launch.

[sammy007]

What is data directory and config file name?

Hard to say, installing wallet is just a while, but proxy software itself, as almost nothing is known now, is big question. I think that proxy software should be released before wallet to give time for OPs to prepare it, but if I understand information right, it will be released same time as wallet.
