I will be getting Mac wallets and Windows wallets built for the community to build a testnet and try out the Stormnodes, Sandstorm and InstantX and of course test mining/timings.

Even though its a "testnet" we can in fact use the mainnet parameters for testing as I will be changing the magic numbers and regenerating the genesis hash, merkle hash and of course that means the ntime, nnonce and nbits will be different.

Will you also correct for/change the lbits, and tminus2, deeznuts, etc. as well?

Let's do this! Testnet testnet

me too..

semi public private testnet but post shit in this lil forum here as bumpin is good.  even if its about handjobs in regina.  it bumps it.  trolls welcome. 

for anyone left on silkchat Ill add er back to my android.. seem to go through them things like fuckin shoes.. so gotta add ol silkchat to it again.  else totally taken up telegram.  send me your user id as always love chatting with ya crzy folk

[arteleis]

  by the way... mad props dobbscoin.  smartest fuckers around.  stoked to see his review when we ready.  aint nothing like a subgenius.  although i think he should review for free.  but they godless folk.  so that unlikely hahaha.. personally my credentials do no allow me to have subgenius standards.. but ya know words are a potion.. and analogy breaks all rules.. so perhaps this may play a part.. although unlikely ranking in the tribe of brilliant.. appears a socialist liberalist evolutionary scientific movement to me.. basically the curriculum of every major university... cuz of course that makes everyone smarter and more enlightened on logical fact and relations to logical analogy and romance of liberalist/socialist regime.. which is beautiful! but... how many of them know the permenant brain washing the curriculum teaches.. many a tripper been stoked to live forever in the green paradise on lsd or mushrooms.. yet the same trippers realize they need clean water and food.. 

  dimitry did you say you messaged dobbs or dobbs messaged you? .2 seems fair - read the last 12-15 reviews or so from the point he really knows nothing about masternodes, but! is brilliant enough to find holes minimal or holes/scams elaborate in non masternode coins.. although majority reviews were of crave heritage. a bold venture but good reviews nonetheless.

  dobbs bobs bobs dobbs realm of the anti spiritual logical annihilation of intelligent spiritual nature?  or perhaps not.. looking forward to code review.

and perhaps a rebuttal to my poetic take on subgenius culture.  always remember.  Bob.  is Bob. And Dobbs is Bob.  and as far as ive noticed. the average fellow is inferior to Bob. nonetheless i love dobbs and is something to strive for... assuming bob dobbs loves me.. else fuck this. hahahahaha

re: arguing with a far to logical and elitest subgenius on the poisoned curriculum of the globalist sect.. is well.. normal. subgenius is still beyond me and perhaps reserved for alumnis..  we shall see.

No I just stumbled across Dobbs/Bob and I dont know but I have attraction to it maybe its in the name

For review, "Earlz"  does the review I dont know if he have anything to do with Dobbs, Besides the review part!


Also I contacted Earlz! I think there is alot of doubters in crypto and when someone like Earlz can give a positive
that will bring good vibes for those

[acquafredda]

too much technical speaking around I don't understand much.
Waiting peacefully for the next realease.

Nothing more at the moment.

ATM only the Linux source is up online.

Currently I believe I have a memory leak, which until I have a Windows build environment I cannot debug easily.

I will be getting a Windows environment built as quickly as possible. At the moment I am also building a 10.8 MacOSX environment as well.

Once Windows is sorted I will install Visual Studio and locate the memory leak using Visual Leak Detector for Visual C++
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/7c40a5d8-dd35-4019-a2af-cb1403f5939c

Once these are all done I can also build Windows and Mac wallets.

[SCDeveloper]

I would like to see if it is my VM so....

Clone the repo.

Follow the readme to the letter.

Here is a conf:

rpcallowip=*
rpcuser=USERNAME
rpcpassword=PASSWORD
rpcport=31500
server=1
listen=1
daemon=1
testnet=0
addnode=74.5.128.205
addnode=81.98.168.158

When you direct a miner at the wallet if it crashes then you have experienced what I have.

This will mean to me that it isn't environment and is indeed the wallet.

Let me know your findings.

Which version of Visual Studio are you using and when did we start using different code based for Linux and Windows?  If there is a memory leak in the Windows wallet, it's almost guaranteed to be there in the Linux wallet as well; unless you have a closed source Windows version with a different code base.  Do you have a Microsoft Visual C++ version???

When I was building the Market API and Polling functions in the wallet, everything was built on the same code base using QT Creator...even in Windows.

And breath.

I am talking about the DarkSilk source

I haven't actually built a Windows wallet yet. I have the code for DarkSilk at https://GitHub.com/SCDeveloper/DarkSilk

When I point my GPU at the wallet it instantly crashes or it will mine and crash upon finding a block.

It did this for a while and now it is mining ok. However the crash is caused by an invalid pointer.

So my plan was to get a Windows environment built so I can install Virtual Studio and then find this memory leak.

Unless you want to assist?

[mbishop75]

I'm doing well, thanks for asking.

Just trying to get my head around where we are currently...so, my questions still stand. 

Are there different code bases between Windows and Linux for the DarkSilk wallet?  If so, does the Windows version use Microsoft Visual C++ versus the C++98 that the SilkCoin wallet was based on (pre-fork)?

No I was going to insert my C++98 code that is forked from Cravecoin into Visual Studio and run a memory leak tool to check the pages and pages of code.

I've tried the Valgrind approach with no success.

[mbishop75]

An invalid pointer is not a memory leak;it's an issue with memory management. 

Chances are you're trying to free() malloc'd memory that has already been free'd.
You could also be trying to free() memory that has not actually been malloc'd.  If the ptr is null, free() won't do anything, but if the ptr points to memory that has not been explicitly malloc'd, it will cause 'undetermined' behavior because you're trying to release memory that belongs to a different handle. 

Have you tried to put a try catch around the problem areas and do a stack dump to log what's going on?  You should be able to narrow down where in the code the issue is happening fairly easily.

*** Error in `./DarkSilk': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007f422c004630 ***

[mbishop75]

Yep...looks like it either does not need to be free'd because it was not explicitly not malloc'd, or it has already has been free'd earlier (maybe at some other method if it's a global object). 
When does this error occur?  Same place in the code or just at random times?

I'll clone your repo and take a look.

Same time.

Either when you connect via RPC to mine and send your first hashes at the wallet, or when it finds a block.

I have a feeling it is definitely RPC related.
