Ok it looks like the problem with the Windows binaries has finally been solved. Turns out the problem was with GMP using machine specific optimizations. Thanks to coinfusion I was able to find a solution which produced fully static binaries that work on all my 64 bit machines so they should work on almost any 64 bit machine. Working Cryptonite Qt binary for WindowsWorking Cryptonited binary for WindowsThe build process is the same as what I described on the last page but GMP needs to be compiled like this: tar xvf gmp-6.0.0a.tar.xz cd /c/deps/gmp-6.0.0 MPN_PATH=" x86_64 generic" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=core2 -mtune=generic" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=core2 -mtune=generic" ./configure --disable-shared --enable-cxx --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 make I also compiled boost using slightly different settings but I don't think it really matters: cd C:\deps\boost_1_57_0\ bootstrap.bat mingw b2 --build-type=minimal --with-chrono --with-filesystem --with-program_options --with-system --with-thread --layout=versioned -sNO_BZIP2=1 -sNO_ZLIB=1 toolset=gcc variant=release link=static threading=multi target-os=windows threadapi=win32 runtime-link=static stage

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Working Cryptonite Qt binary for WindowsWorking Cryptonited binary for WindowsCryptoniteQt works on my machine (Win7 64-bit, SSD disk) but there are few problems: 1. Upon start wallet can not find any nodes to sync from and the only way I found to fix that was to addnode=IP at cryptonite.conf file, IPs of other nodes found at XCN blockchain explorer. 2. Once finaly connected to other nodes wallet drops connections very frequently many times dropping to just 1 connection. 3. Once syncing starts "Current number of blocks" goes to maybe 1000 but then "Estimated number of blocks" takes over and leads most of the time, with "Current number of blocks" only occassionaly catching up but maybe for 10 to 100 blocks. It takes very long time (day+) for "Estimated number of blocks" to catch up with latest block and only then "Current number of blocks" starts fully catching up but very slowly. I think it would take at least few days to fully sync wallet from scratch. 4. Upon every wallet restart it checks and loads blockchain but then starts with resync (showing some weird values like -232865374 %) that lasts horribly long time. On a funny notes, my nodes IP checker has found that many notable corporations and goverment sectors were or still are present at XCN network including NASA, Moon time guaranteed!

1. Upon start wallet can not find any nodes to sync from and the only way I found to fix that was to addnode=IP at cryptonite.conf file, IPs of other nodes found at XCN blockchain explorer. The server which was running the seed node is no longer online, I'll probably try to use the explorer node as the seed node but I'll have to rebuild again. At least I know the correct build process for Windows now so it shouldn't be hard. I also want to set up a dns seeder thing on the same server as the explorer which should make it much easier for new nodes to find peers. 2. Once finaly connected to other nodes wallet drops connections very frequently many times dropping to just 1 connection. The networking code is the same as Bitcoin so it's either a problem with your connection or a problem inherited from Bitcoin. I think during the sync process it will only download the blockchain from a single peer because that's how Bitcoin was designed to work when we forked from it. Since then Bitcoin has gained the ability to download the chain in a parallel fashion from multiple peers which is something we really need to carry over to Cryptonite. 3. Once syncing starts "Current number of blocks" goes to maybe 1000 but then "Estimated number of blocks" takes over and leads most of the time, with "Current number of blocks" only occassionaly catching up but maybe for 10 to 100 blocks. It takes very long time (day+) for "Estimated number of blocks" to catch up with latest block and only then "Current number of blocks" starts fully catching up but very slowly. I think it would take at least few days to fully sync wallet from scratch. It should take no more than hour to fully sync from my experience. Usually when you have problems syncing it's because you're connected to a peer who either has a bad connection or is giving you bad data. Once again I believe this issue is compounded by relying on a single peer for synchronization. Try adding some different peers to your conf file then do a resync. 4. Upon every wallet restart it checks and loads blockchain but then starts with resync (showing some weird values like -232865374 %) that lasts horribly long time. This is probably related to the last issue with bad peers. The negative percent thing is a known issue but it shouldn't take a huge amount of time to catch up.

hey I would like some help with the NVidia GPU pool miner I'm kinda new here
first I follow the links in OP for miners looks like its not valid anymore
got the miner from 1gh pool and I think its out of date 1 year without new release ?? or a optimized one ?
also the miner I got there put the GPU on 20% load for some reason I think I can get better hash
this is the line I use
Cryptonite-CudaMiner-compute_35.exe -o stratum+tcp://xcnpool.1gh.com:7333 -u CJQZoYjCdU7TaHNvyHYVoD6bNJ57aho7Xq -p x -t 1 pause

@kahir: I haven't used the Cuda miner so I don't know much about it. But I'm pretty sure it should use more than 20% of your GPU. Maybe try upgrading or downgrading your graphics driver.
@SISAR: My suspicions about the bad nodes seems to be correct. I tried doing a fresh sync on my linux machine and had similar problems. I was able to make it work by deleting everything in the data folder except the wallet and the conf files and adding the explorer node to the conf file:
addnode=206.72.193.148

Retried, it worked like charm with full sync in under 20 minutes and only 90MB of data downloaded! https://i.imgur.com/CrjbriO.pngAfterwards (without restart) I have checked status via getinfo at Console and found the folllowing line there: "errors" : "Warning: The download trie/blockchain appears to have invalid data. May need to try again" Error was gonne after restart but then I found one possible issue, at Options > Wallet there is Expert area without any options. Should there be Coin Control checkbox, maybe? https://i.imgur.com/GLXv9JO.pngAlso wallet is not saving backup at all, it pops up message that wallet was saved successfuly but no file is created.

No I believe that expert area has always been hidden in Cryptonite, I can't remember what is usually there now, but I think it was something to do with coin control or change addresses. Don't need to worry about change addresses in Cryptonite because there is no such thing as change. Also wallet is not saving backup at all, it pops up message that wallet was saved successfuly but no file is created. That's a known bug, has always been like that, not sure why though because nothing was changed which should have altered the wallet backup functionality. Might be another issue inherited from the version of Bitcoin we forked from. If you want to make a backup of your wallet file just make a copy of the wallet.dat file.

hello.. im long time follower of cryptonite.. and miner and buyer. Theres a great opensource android multi coin wallet called coinomi.. with a builtin exhange for swapping coins to another. however coinomi lacks one thing.. Cryptonite ! wandering if this can be looked into .. there is instructions here https://coinomi.com/AddingSupportForANewCurrency/looks like need a cryptonited + electrum .. then add some code to coinomi code. https://github.com/Coinomi/coinomi-androidthen everyone can have mobile cryptonite

I've downloaded the new Windows QT and opened the wallet, but no connections are found/wallet can't sync. I see that my XCN folder lacks a .conf file; I imagine its inclusion would help a lot. Can you please post a working XCN .conf file?? Thanks.

website and block explorer appear to be down It's just the cryptonite.info server which is down, the explorer can still be accessed at http://206.72.193.148@CRYPTONAIRE: I would recommend you just add the explorer node to your conf file:

It was frustrating to barely get the wallet working; have tried different things, addnode added exactly as what said, deleted entire directory except wallet.dat and conf also, well but got the same issue! Any ideas? I guess many people would stop looking into this coin (or just me run into this issue?) if the wallet simply not working.

@JasonSW: Not sure why it wouldn't work if you followed my instructions on the last page. I would suggest you try syncing using cryptonited instead of Qt, it is more stable. Once you are fully synced you can switch back to Qt. @GingerAle: it looks like http://cryptoncoin.com is still working. I have no idea why that would work but cryptonite.info will not work. I have opened a support ticket with my host so the main domain should be fixed soon.

Very fascinating. Thanks for the updated links. I love how with every other cryptocurrency the insurance against huge blockchains is the sure increase in our ability to store data. What I don't think has been addressed is the fact that most, if not all data, is moving to the cloud, and the only people with massive home storage are those that are operating outside of the cloud (read: dloading content in maybe perhaps not legal ways).
Do you have any projections on how large the blockchain would be when fully maxed? I.e., the 100 billion addresses as proposed in the "account" document?
Also, does the current implementation address fungibility and privacy at all? What may be fascinating is that, inherently, the account system preserves fungibility once the coins have been absorbed into the account ledger. While the transaction is in the minichain, not so much though. If its not addressed, is there a way to address it?

sorry for what seems like spamming this thread. my head gets moving and I can't stop. it seems this balance-type "blockchain" would be a good fit with blockless cryptocurrency, as described here with DAGcoin. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1177633.0so instead of having the miniblockchain, as described for cryptonite, you have some kind of DAGchain.... and the balance-type fixes a problem with DAGcoin, in that DAGcoin requires there to be an extant blockchain of outputs to use. If I understand how cryptonite works (which I probably don't), when a user goes to make a transaction, they are essentially minting coins (from their available balance).

It is not good if a procedure to merely sync a wallet requires that much trouble. Also, even though I managed to have wallet synced in like 20 minutes any further syncing (after restart) went super slow. It just can't be the only friendly node on network is explorer one, why it is working flawlessly and what is wrong with other nodes? The last build for wallet was roughly a year ago and since then Bitcoin code was massively updated, can we have updated code with XCN as well? Not just fixed networking and backup parts but Coin Control and other features as well.
