Master should build cleanly with gitian now, I think!

EDIT: Or maybe not.. I made a bad merge when WIll and I both fixed the NULL problem on win32, so when I tried gitian with a clean clone it failed on 'max' missing again. Silly C++11. XD  I'll re-merge that.

Also, I'm surprised that nobody else is mining yet.

So you are mining? Using unconfirmed sources that changes every few hours, without officially compiled and released binaries. Actually, I've expected this.

I've mined 1-3 blocks after each patch, to test that the chain is still moving, and nothing crazy is happening again with log2_work etc.

I am not bot mining at the moment, only mining by hand.  (If you look at the replays (and consider that each block takes me about 20 minutes, HEH) you can see how comically bad I really am.)

None of the patches since the addition of the map filter to motoCheck change protocol, only local work credit calculations, the small memory leak, and build process, so any version of these "unconfirmed" sources would be fine to mine with on the current chain, and everyone has had opportunity to be mining, with an unfortunate caveat that they'd have to build from source.  That is something I'd argue any miner should be doing with any coin they mine anyway!!!!!!!

About half of the coinbases I've mined I have also subsequently ditched from my db, just from testing resync, so the chain was technically soft-forked by me several times at first.  (There have been no tx on the post-fork chain yet, so this only affects my own coin-bases.  There have barely even been peers online, and none running the new version, so no-one even "saw" most of this.)  If people really have any problem with my having "pre-mined" as a side effect of testing on main net I'll gladly nuke my db and give up claim to those ~400 moto, and resume mining again from the fork point.  I doubt people will honestly care much about my having made some loose change while fixing the network.

It occurs to me that we may want to append the version number, but I'll leave that up to William.

Also, am I correct in understanding that gitian doesn't build motogame for windows, so we can't sign that portion yet?

[HunterMinerCrafter]

I asked a friend to do the windows motogame build for me in Visual$tudio and I put together binaries.

I've tried but it's not syncing

[Spiky]

I've tried but it's not syncing

I think it actually synced but showed you label "Out of sync" only because last block was made 5 days ago

Anyway, I've mined 3 blocks already) so it must sync now

But it seems that old clients constantly ban me (is it possible?)

So I have only 0-1 connections now

[Adapik]

And pressing the buttons "play to mine" and "watch" leads to nothing both in windows and linux versions.

Yes, what block does it show you on? The fork point is after 177107.

I don't see your blocks yet, perhaps we are not peered.  Are the trackers misbehaving?

But it seems that old clients constantly ban me (is it possible?)

Yes, old clients and new clients will basically consider each-other not sane, it seems.  I'm looking into this in more detail, but I think it might be somewhat unavoidable.

So I have only 0-1 connections now

I'll put up a VPS node so we'll at least have something stable to peer against consistently.

Strange, is there anything that stands out in debug.log?  Is it logging any call(s) to CreateNewBlock?

[MultiDice]

Would you like Moto dice game created?

[Spiky]

I have 177114 blocks now, the last seven blocks are mine and it shows 1 active connection now, but it seems that nobody else sees my blocks so I've stopped mining

By the way, is it necessary to delete old database and make full resync with new client? (I did but not sure if it was necessary)

[HunterMinerCrafter]

Sure, but you should probably wait until after we stabilize from the fork, and start to build up hash-rate again.

Odd, that would imply that there are actually 3 soft forks active right now, and I only see the two.

I'm not sure that you'll need to resync entirely, but you probably need to at least reindex.  In theory the client should be able to recover blindly, but it largely depends on what sort of state your node ended up in during the stall.

[Spiky]

Ok, it's working normally now. I can mine and receive other's blocks so everything is ok (177152 blocks now)

Yup, things seem to be going a little more smoothly now, seems to be at least 3 of us mining on the same chain!

[e1ghtSpace]

I'm going to buy some coins soon. I would have thought the price would have dropped a lot more by now but it hasn't. Which is a good sign.

Also, am I correct in understanding that gitian doesn't build motogame for windows, so we can't sign that portion yet?

Yes, to build motogame you need to build glfw, to build glfw you need cmake capable of cross-compiling, this all is a little bit complicated.

I think my motogame.exe was just built against the glfw binary distribution.

I'll put a block explorer up there at some point also.
