Sorry - took me a lil bit to figure out how to upload pics  There's your problem, right there. One easy way to check is to have a Linux VM handy ( Vagrant, VMWare or VirtualBox) and then you can check very simply with: $ grep -n -r pchMessageStart spreadcoin
I've bowdlerised the results but the principle is clear: spreadcoin/src/main.h:832: unsigned char pchMessageStart[4];
[...]
spreadcoin/src/main.h:1564: unsigned char pchMessageStart[4];
spreadcoin/src/protocol.cpp:20:static unsigned char pchMessageStartTest[4] = { 0xc2, 0xe3, 0xcb, 0xfa };
spreadcoin/src/protocol.cpp:23:static unsigned char pchMessageStartSpreadcoin[4] = { 0x4f, 0x3c, 0x5c, 0xbb };
spreadcoin/src/protocol.cpp:25:void GetMessageStart(unsigned char pchMessageStart[], bool)
spreadcoin/src/protocol.cpp:28: memcpy(pchMessageStart, pchMessageStartTest, sizeof(pchMessageStartTest));
spreadcoin/src/protocol.cpp:30: memcpy(pchMessageStart, pchMessageStartSpreadcoin, sizeof(pchMessageStartSpreadcoin));
spreadcoin/src/main.cpp:3263: unsigned char pchMessageStart[4];
[...]
spreadcoin/src/main.cpp:3585: unsigned char pchMessageStart[4];
[...]
spreadcoin/src/main.cpp:4389: unsigned char pchMessageStart[4];
[...]
spreadcoin/src/protocol.h:62: unsigned char pchMessageStart[4];
spreadcoin/src/db.cpp:496: unsigned char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xfb, 0xc0, 0xb6, 0xdb };
[...]
spreadcoin/src/db.cpp:536: unsigned char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xfb, 0xc0, 0xb6, 0xdb };
[...]
At the very least, the output should cue a degree of circumspection and help you be less precipitate in your wagers. Cheers Graham |

Nice work! So let me get this straight: Every block I find goes to another spreadcoinaddress? I did not notice yet  . Like it though, nobody can see how much I mined atm  Is that where you got the name from? |

Every block I find goes to another spreadcoinaddress? Yes, this is the same as in Bitcoin. This is purely wallet feature, with some effort you can mine always to the same address. |

Cheers Graham Hope you don't mind me correcting your comment... makes a little bit more sense now. Big words don't scare me. Evidently you assume I downloaded the files? But since you seem to know what my problem is... why not scurry over to the thread where I'm offering a bounty to anyone who can help me recover my wallet.dat files. Hell, at least it'll save me from having to buy coins to pay this here bounty - yeah, I keep my word. And not sure what you think my problem is... other forums you're allowed to upload pics; my problem was with finding a site to host the pics. |

I just remembered that before the last wallet update, when i had the old wallet open, i saw a message(in the wallet) about the new wallet and the hardfork at block 2200.
Is this message feature something that only spreadcoin has, or other coins have it as well?
Im sure they can do it with other wallets , but its the only time I have seen it in a wallet!! maybe its a first i dont know but it is handy!! That's what i was thinking too! Mr. Spread: can you elaborate a little bit more on this feature please? This is general feature in many Bitcoin forks. It is used in rare cases when serious vulnerability is found and before a hardfork so you probably won't see it often. Some devs maybe are to lazy to use it. And I wonder if Dev got his 1BTC from that guy that was saying there was missing bits of the code??
No. My address is still empty - https://blockchain.info/address/1MSL9Ph2RCUnpekpuf6Rofb4kUo1nArsnSand Lucky Cris just disappeared: Last Active: August 12, 2014, 07:24:01. Well hopefully she (thats what here profile says anyway) will keep her end of the bargain up!! And when you get sometime would like to have a chat with you maybe on a IRC channel or something , I know real world can be busy , but like I was saying , I see a massive potential here and want to have a chat, when your available!! And she (yes, I am) most certainly will. And what difference does it make whether I'm a female or not in this situation? You took the time to view my profile, so I wouldn't doubt you skimmed my previous posts. What, not used to a girl not begging for coins here? |

So Darkcoin is also a scam in your opinion: https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L3591 As well as Bitcoin: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L3214 As you said, these values are used to identify the network. They are the first bytes that each node sends during a connection and they are the first bytes that each node should receive. This way you can easily detect if you have connected to a wrong cryptocurrency network (or even something completely different like a webserver or bittorrent client). Wallet cannot work without these values, they are not specifically for pools. Pools also need to connect to the network so they also need them. For SpreadCoin you can find these values in protocol.cpp: https://github.com/spreadcoin-project/spreadcoin/blob/master/src/protocol.cpp#L23 Note that values that you pointed to in your screenshot are actually for testnet. My bitcoin address: 1MSL9Ph2RCUnpekpuf6Rofb4kUo1nArsnS Of course I don't think that either is a scam - but I see the link indicates those values are in their main.cpp file - yours on the other hand is located where people who write guides (and even on the wiki itself) neglected to tell people. Now I'm really wondering. I don't claim to be any kind of techie, but using their instruction, I was able to create the network.py files for the coins who didn't have them listed in the hub. It wasn't until I started to bring nodes online for these fly by nights that I noticed those values weren't in the main.cpp. After asking several devs how I can find them and got nothing but crickets, I came to the conclusion that something must be up with it. Before downloading the files, I always checked the files for the values needed to bring a node online... there was no need to waste my time compiling a wallet for a coin I couldn't set up a pool for. But like I said... this info is instrumental; worth a btc IMO. And yes, I realize the numbers were for the testnet; the hex value for the real network is located in that file as well. |

Not sure where you get that notion from, I was pointing to a pure-text solution which would eliminate any need to use/upload images<- the problem. I thought it might make that particular task a bit easier to manage. Cheers Graham |

I assume you were hinting that I didn't know what I was doing because it took a minute to upload the screenshots. Yes, your method would've been much if I actually had the files downloaded - I was just using a browser's preview pane. But I wasn't being factious about the offer to assist me in recovering my wallet files - I'm still on the hunt. Unlike the incremental payments mr spread will get from me, I do pay out my bounties in full - and I don't retract them. Hell, I still sent out a mobo even after I found it was working - I held a give away for a free broke mobo; turned out it wasn't broken after all, but oh well |

Thanks for the info, but I'm still going to dig into it; I don't know the first thing about code... I simply followed everyone's direction to start a p2pool, but this is an excuse for me to learn about coins on a deeper level I suppose. Don't take me very long tho to learn tho - hell, it took me less than a month to convert my rig to a web server and build a website and I knew absolutely nothing either going in. Still can't figure out that damn mail server, but I'll get it right. I'm more focused on learning how to harden the system more than anything right now; silly chick had her box wide the fuck open, no wonder it went bunkers on my ass and I lost everything. Anyhoo, until I recover my wallets I'll have to buy btc - the coins I have at an exchange are already reserved for the person who helps me to recover my files. |

Mr Spread, what's that line of code in your db.cpp? Why would you need two different pchmessagestart identifiers for a coin? Which one is your coin's network? I love looking at code. Don't really know how this all works but it seemed like the ones in db.cpp were used as some sort of header for files like peer.dat. Was curious so went looking and darkcoin, feathercoin, litecoin, reddcoin and of course spreadcoin have the exact same bytes as the header in their peer.dat file. Probably a lot more coins if they were originally based on litecoin. |

Hello! Could someone help a noob? Wanted to know where or how to use these commands? options: -? This help message -conf = <file> Specify configuration file (default: spreadcoin.conf) -pid = <file> Specify pid file (default: spreadcoind.pid) -gen Generate coins (default: 0) -datadir = <dir> Specify the data directory -dbcache = <n> Set the size of the database cache in megabytes (default: 25) -timeout = <n> Specify the timeout (timeout) the connection in milliseconds (default: 5000) .... Thanks in advance for your attention! These are command line parameters. Please create a shortcut for "spreadcoin-qt.exe". Then edit the command line: C:\ ... {Your path to wallet} \spreadcoin-qt.exe -gen Then launch with this shortcut, and you will immediately see CPU usage top at 100%. Mining is on. Regards, Andy |

Hello Developer,
can you tell us, what level of mining optimization has the wallet?
Are there special piece of code optimized for different CPUs?
It seems to me, that i5 Haswell has significantly higher finding rate than "faster" i7 Ivy Bridge.
Should be any difference between HyperThreading on and off on i7?
EDIT:
can you explain little deeper about threading? Is each thread trying to find a new block, or are all the threads working on the same block?
(The latter seems much more reasonable to me, but I am asking for sure).
Thank you.
Regards,
Andy

Built-in miner is the same as in Darkcoin. There are no CPU-specific optimizations. It seems to me, that i5 Haswell has significantly higher finding rate than "faster" i7 Ivy Bridge. How do you measure it? You can find exact hashrate with getmininginfo command (see at hashespersec value). Should be any difference between HyperThreading on and off on i7?
I think that with HyperThreading hashrate should be higher, that is what HyperThreading for. I didn't check it myself. EDIT:

Each thread has its own address for generated coins but otherwise blocks in each thread are the same. Well, in fact the same is true for the whole network (additional differences are caused by delays in blocks and transactions transmission). |
