[valvalis]

I like the logo, I hope this Electron had a great future 

[electron-coin]

Thanks!  Will keep working hard and hoping for a successful future for this coin.

Thanks!  Will keep working hard and hoping for a successful future for this coin.

So we need to see some news about this coin? What are road map plans? Dates of proposed updates and features. This helps keep the community entertained.

I updated photon to add support for qr codes in the win qt wallet. 
For Electron everything was all in place so it was just a matter of building it.
Here is an unofficial Windows Qt Electron wallet with QR code support enabled.

No changes to source were necessary , the dll file in the zip is probably only necessary for some....depending on which version of windows you are running.

Thanks Cinnamon.  It looks good!  Added the link to the op.

Your welcome,

here is a link to the same file on google drive

some people in different parts of the world have issues with media fire and brought it to my attention

Interesting.  Just 0.07btc would take the price on bittrex from current levels up to 4500 sats.  With the current levels of volume this wouldn't last long without the buy support but it just shows how easily this market can rise.

Working with Blue to troubleshoot the network.  Please stay tuned. Thanks.

[electron-coin]

Blue found a bug in the MMP code.  Network should be back to normal now.  Thanks Blue!

Yeap! All fine right now

Hey chiguireitor, are you working on a merged pool?  When is that going to be ready?

Wasn't going to spam threads here on BTCTalk...

I'm beta-testing the pool at http://nomp.universalmolecule.co.ve if anyone can spare some hash, it would help crack some more blocks to get some payments going on... had to increase the minimum payment for each coin because the tx fees coudln't cover them (was testing with cinnamon).... let's see if the payments go through now

Looks good.  I will add it to the op and try to throw some hashes your way.

The Electron Explorer at elt.cryptocoinexplorer.com has just been updated to the latest build of CCE 3.5.

Because of the light colored nature of the background, which is the splash screen from the QT client, some of the glass effects do not look as good as they could.

If the community has a darker background they want to use, please send it my way, otherwise I will try and tweak the coloring at a later date.

You will notice some new new features along with the GUI improvements. There are more to come.

Note I have forked the official Electron repo and compiled an updated wallet which you can get here....

My copy of the source code on github (not the official source is here)

 
https://github.com/photonproject/Electron-ELT

  

Changes include:

 

1) In my source code i deleted many unnecessary files and created an obj directory in the src directory.

 

2) I added a fairly recent checkpoint

 

3) Wallet was compiled with qr code support and with openssl 1.0.1h

 

Known issues still not fixed : some rpc console commands like getblocktemplate craash the client.

Photon does not have this problem but Electron and most other coins in the blake 256 family do suffer from this.

Note it is not related to this updated build this glitch was present in the initial release and every release after until now.  Eventually I will have time to correct it.  

 

I am also working on a few other things with the other core blake 256 developer while Bluedragon747 is slightly busy.  We are looking at a few possible 'enhancments'  -- The developer of Universal Molecule and I will certainly keep you posted on the new developments we are working on and testing. Our core team is pretty solid and the future is looking bright.


Special thanks to everyone mining and the exchanges in particular Atomic who has supported the blake 256 family of 6 coins now the most. Thank you Byron.


There should be updates on a few other coins in the blake 256 family later on tonight or tomorrow  



EDIT 1   NOTE I FOUND A WORK AROUND FOR THE RPC CONSOLE ISSUE SEE THIS POST ON THE BLAKE COIN THREAD I JUST PUT UP !!!

Finally i was able to pin down the rpc console error (that I think I am the only person who ever noticed)  and pushed code to my fork on github with a fix.  A similar fix was pushed for Photon, BlakeCoin and B+ . The dev. of UMO is aware of the issue and the fix and communicated to me that he was going to examine it and do his own tests and push it when he is ready.  It is certainly not a critical issue.

The changes are here https://github.com/photonproject/Electron-ELT/commit/bd9a439bab26dd38cc933e1cb1330a38ada53aee

On an unrelated note , some trivia for you:

The famous physicist Richard Feynman who helped shape the standard model stated in theory the entire universe could be made up of just ONE electron.

Yes it is true, look it up if you don't believe me 

[teknohog]

The famous physicist Richard Feynman who helped shape the standard model stated in theory the entire universe could be made up of just ONE electron.

I think his argument was that all the electrons in the universe can be seen as manifestations of one single electron. You'd still need other particles.

The idea is that a positron (anti-electron) is mathematically equal to an electron moving backwards in time. A single electron, whizzing to and fro in space and time, could explain all the electrons and positrons in existence. It also ties in neatly with the balance of matter and antimatter -- you can turn a photon into an electron-positron pair or vice versa, but never a single electron or positron.

However, it's more like a fun way of looking at things, rather than a physical theory, as it doesn't give any new predictions over the Standard Model. Nevertheless, you can still see its influence in Feynman diagrams.
