[TEST RELEASE] Cryptonite binary for linux (NEW: Qt and Windows builds)

how does the network know my wallet address? (qt)

roughly the same way bitcoin does. it doesn't. coins are sent to addresses with no verification that they can be spent. See 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE. Spending involves proving that you have a key which is allowed to spend that address. Since addresses are generated from keys via one way function, it's practically impossible to spend an address unless that address was in fact generated from a key you already possess.

sorry - my question was not clear.

i mean when i start mining in the QT debug console, it starts to mine, but i dont even have a wallet address yet.

If it's anything like core Bitcoin client, then you already have 100 keys by default. You can just start mining directly in console, it automatically credits to an address in your wallet.

thank you.  in that case, if i successfully solve a block, then i would see an incoming transaction and a a positive balance?

nevermind, looks like its working!  i see transactions coming in!

after 160+ confirmations, my mined deposits become "conflicted"

There is a flaw in M7 implementation in the wallet: sph_tiger_context is reused for ripemd as its context *after* being used for tiger. Fortunately the structure is bigger than sph_ripemd_context so no stack corruption occurs, but it is a dangerous assumption, and ripemd is essentially just not the standart ripemd.

[catia]

the default sort order is by status and then date. So orphaned blocks will be moved after your confirmed once. Click on the date column if you want to see it that way.

is the source already available ?

Not that I know of. But binaries are, some unstripped..

its it possible to run 2 instances of the QT?  

i have 2 laptops. one of them seems to be working, and the balance is increasing.

however, laptop #2 is behaving strangely.  it is mining blocks, but the balance never goes above 0.

is this related to 2 nodes being on a single IP?

EDIT:

in case this is useful info, the laptop that is mining ok is running 14072700.exe

the laptop that is mining but balance is stuck at 0 is running 14072707.exe

Yeah this seems to be the case. Going to reset testnet with the change and revert to normal difficulty calculations shortly.

Okay thought I would give this a try.

So I downloaded the latest win64 qt build.

Ran with -testnet

Synced up super fast! Kewl 

Started mining with setgenerate true 4 like the good ole' cpu coins. I'm finding blocks like mad.

getmininginfo..

"blocks" : 46799,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 1.00000000,
"errors" : "This is a pre-release test build - use at your own risk - do not use for mining or merchant applications",
"genproclimit" : 4,
"networkhashps" : 579857,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"testnet" : true,
"generate" : true,
"hashespersec" : 339900

looks like I got lots of orphans or something is up. I'll keep mining for a bit and see what happens.

Yes because we have fixed the difficulty at one in order to make some bugs easier to detect and deal with. You wont get many blocks because there's a very high orphan rate.

@Primitive: 14072700 is probably mining ok for you because it might be on a different fork or something. Catia also mentioned that behind a router upnp will only work for 1 of the computers, so that might also have something to do with it.

ok thank you.

i wonder does anyone following this thread have any steps i can use to have more than one node mining?  i behind an apple airport.

Thanks.

I closed and opened the wallet 105 blocks later. Everything synced up fine. The coins I mined are still there so far everything looks good.

You should be fine with multiple machines on the main network. There will be more nodes, so better chances you can get high connectivity with only outgoing connections. Also the block time will me much longer leading to less orphans in general.

New builds up. Testnet chain is reset, you will need to delete data folder before switching to new build. Resync option does not work for this.

thanks for all your efforts catia.

will there be an official "final" launch release posted?  and will that be posted in this thread?

There will be an ANN thread posted. I link to that will be posted in the TEST RELEASE and PRE ANN threads.
