[ANN] Triangles [TRI] Now Stable & Working Anonymous Cloak over TOR - ON BITTREX

[pseudonymdude]

Also, perhaps we should create a single username as the new dev (or just OP) that several of us have access to in case some people leave in the future?

Hmmmm. I think an argument can be made for creating a username... but also a strong argument could be made for wurst or another longstanding member. If it were up to me I'd have wurst make the post, without a doubt.

Checking in.

A new dev account is a good option i think. We simply need to be absolutely transparent, like stating who is operating this account and why ("its teamwork") with each of the accounts listed verifying that by posting an answer in the ANN.
No credibility issues then. And workload sharing would be easier. Or am I missing something?

Yeah, you might be right that people trust ANN's from older accounts more.  Wurstgelee would be good, but I don't think he wants to post it under his name.  Or maybe he just didn't want to write it.  Wurstgelee, do you want to post it under your name if whalebone writes it all up?

If not, whalebone, do you want to post it under your name or would you rather create a new account that multiple people have access to?

wurst

I guess as long as we clearly explain who has access and why the new account was created ...

[wurstgelee]

I have no problem with posting the new ANN thread myself (once everything works) - i just think it complicates things unnecessarily. We have more than one person working for and with TRI, so i would have to proxy (->c&p and post your PMs) or edit everything you guys want to post or edit regarding "official" information. Could be difficult especially if it's time critical information. Time zones and so on.

Thats why I think the dev account would make more sense. As long as transparancy is guaranteed. I would agree otherwise though if I am outvoted here.


Still 2 more days of holidays but here are some values for you:

- 2 or 3 mins blocktime (instead of 1 now)
- maturity 21 blocks (instead of 7 now)
- fixing blockchain sync issue (this is not an option - it will happen )

An open discussion about these is intended and wanted. Agreeing would be OK too.

wurst

[whalebone]

Unless one person is playing multiple accounts (and I am but one) we truly have an outstanding team and I know you all know that.

I think one of the first links on our new ANN should link to the point at which wurst took TRI by the balls.

I would be honored to draft the new ANN. Is the best technique to create it and post it to this thread?

It would be minimal at first but I think we need to establish what makes TRI a unique asset. Something more than "you know why" AND I would create a new account perhaps "inwurstwetrust" or "cheops" and we can PM the account login to the team members.

I like the idea of an equity club or VC holdings for open sourced developments.

Everyone who has TRI could be public but our coin movements would be as anonymous as TORsible until we add a mixer or join SUPERNET.

So I am proposing we focus the ANN roadmap on what TRI can offer the crypto as a team, not just in features. But this is all somewhat half baked and I want to make sure you are all on board for the club concept.

Bottom line, I think we need offer a unique coin experience for BTC holders who would like to put their coin to use as opposed to hoarding or fiating it away into real estate.

Lol. Never thought of that.
I'm pretty sure that isn't the case though.

I agree :-)

I'm real 

I'm hitting 0.00 about 33%

[StephenJH]

heh, funny how that trade on trex was 0.7 btc  

[wurstgelee]

Aaaaaand I'm back...finally (flight delayed several hours). :|

Anyways, I will return to the TRI workbench tomorrow after wage slavery.

Nice, I hope you had some nice days.

The TRI faucet is also ready. The only thing I need is a synced wallet such that the community can test it.

[pseudonymdude]

My laptop that was staking TRI got kicked offline for a day or two and when I set it back up, the coins had too much coin age so they started mining blocks and forming their own chain while syncing.  I guess I should have started with -staking=0, but I didn't think that would happen.  While attempting full resync, I get caught at block 16500 so I'll have to wait for the update before I can get on the right chain again.

edit: Also, that sounds great, NightmareLev8.

[StephenJH]

I still have a wallet synced, 3 active connections. 50% of the PoS blocks are 0.00 lately.

Also, that sounds great, NightmareLev8.

I'll give to the faucet fund.

I somehow managed to keep my "main"-wallet synced too - even with traveling in between.  

Those 0.00 blocks will be history soon.

Also: Awesome @ NightmareLev8!

+1 for funding the faucet

The time when my wallet went offline, I tried to sync many times and always I get close to ~1400 behind the current block. Sometimes 1344 or 1404, but always around 1400. I don´t think this has something to say, but it is strange. 

When the faucet is online, I will host it for a time by myself and will do some improvements based on your feedback. Later on it can may be hosted somewhere else. It only requires a webserver, mysql database and a running (synced  ) wallet.

You will likely notice that your wallet stops syncing ~24h behind the current block (usually 1-3 minutes less).

That's a symptom of the problem that needs fixing.

(Just returned home, coding cave is scheduled in about 3h from now on)


Also the hosting plan seems reasonable. (And I still would suggest putting it on the "TRI"-server later - it already has a wallet, a mysql-db and a webserver.)

[wurstgelee]

Progress. Tomorrow: Testing. (after wage slavery as usual)

Is it fail project?

[wurstgelee]

Is it fail project?

No. Fail language.

Fixing the sync issue was stalled for 5 days  - dev had holidays.

Work was resumed the day after his return (yesterday).


Situation Update:

The fix I worked out yesterday solves our current issue. So far so good.

But the more I digged into the code to find the reason for the sync issue, the more I realized how ugly and dirty our original dev has done some things (and how ugly the fix would be to counter former uglyness). Imo it's really impressive we've come this far under these circumstances.

So what now?

I started to review the whole codebase of the wallet today, mainly focusing on the miner (i completely reworked that one today - wallet will now for example cause less CPU load), the kernel and main since this is where the magic happens. I have made good progress today and will continue to work on the code for another hour or so until i go to bed, but since this is A LOT of work I will need a few days until everthing will be done (I work ~8-10 h/day as a sysadmin wage slave - so time is precious).

The reason why I am doing this is dead simple: You can't build a solid coin on a crappy codebase. We HAVE to fix this.

All I need from you is some more patience. I expect a working wallet somewhere during the weekend - probably towards the end of it.

But it's worth the waiting!

PS: I will try to show you something of the work in progress tomorrow. I dont know what exactly that will be yet.

PPS: Meanwhile the blockchain is still alive and healthy - see http://explorer.triangles.technology . Only if you loose sync for several hours, you can't resync - Stephen and I managed to keep some staking wallets synced. So no blockchain restart or anything else will be required once the new wallet is ready. Those of you who are stuck somewhere behind simply resync and thats it:)
