💊 Dobbscoin Core v0.13.6 — the wallet finally tells you what the chain is doing

Short version: the Overview page now shows the chain's vitals without you opening the debug window, hunting for a block explorer, or asking someone in a channel. Open the wallet, look at the front page, know where you stand.

THE PIPE

Top left, under your balances, borderless, minding its own business:

Code:
  Slack Accrued:   how many blocks have piled up since "Bob" started counting
  Conspiracy:      the difficulty, right now, against its own 7-day average
  The Grind:       what every machine on the network is throwing at it, combined

Three lines. No new window, no new tab, no configuration. It updates on every block.

The middle one earns its name. Difficulty is not an abstract number — it is the resistance, the exact measure of how hard the Normals are making it to find the next block. Showing it against its own average means a retarget reads as a retarget instead of a number that changed while you were not looking.

EVERYTHING FROM v0.13.5 IS STILL IN HERE

If you skipped that one, you are getting it now, and one of these was not optional:

1) The mining fix. The solo miner was hashing the address of a pointer to the block header instead of the block header. It could not find a valid block. Not "found them slowly" — could not. That is fixed.

2) The Mining tab, on the main toolbar where you can see it, not buried in the debug window. Point it at pool.dobbscoin.info or solo against your own node. No config file. No second program. No batch script you wrote in 2014 and cannot find.

3) NAT-PMP port mapping, with UPnP as fallback — one checkbox, and a status line that tells you what actually happened instead of leaving you to guess whether your node is reachable.



⚠ BLOCK 2,000,000 — AuxPoW

This release carries the merge-mining fork. It is not active yet.

Code:
  chain is at    1,890,989
  activates at   2,000,000
  that is        109,011 blocks out

When it lands, (BOB) stops being defended by whoever happened to plug in and starts being defended by work that was going to happen anyway. Dogecoin took the same medicine in 2014 for the same reason and is still here.

Where the chain stands tonight, since nobody is served by pretending otherwise:

Code:
  height       1,890,989
  difficulty   0.00043554
  network      6,339 H/s
  peers        12

Don't take my word for any of it — watch it move at explorer.dobbscoin.info.

Six thousand hashes a second. One rig is a majority of this network. That is the arithmetic AuxPoW exists to fix, and it is 109,011 blocks away.

Upgrade before then. Not tonight-or-else — but a node that reaches block 2,000,000 on an old binary gets left on a chain nobody else is following, and it will not tell you. It will look fine. It will be wrong.

The (BOB) Android wallet has been in closed testing on Google Play since 26 August. We are five testers short of the number Google requires, and until we have them the app cannot be published to anyone.

Why there is a gate at all

Google will not grant production access to a personal developer account until the app has run a closed test with at least twelve testers opted in, continuously, for fourteen days. Not twelve downloads. Twelve accounts opted in, and still opted in on day fourteen. Seven have. The fourteen days have not started counting and will not start until there are twelve, so every day short is a day added to the end.

That is the whole obstacle. It is not a technical one and there is nothing clever to be done about it. It needs five people with an Android phone.

What it involves

1) Join the tester group with the Google account that is signed in to the Play Store on your phone: groups.google.com/g/dobbscoin-testers

2) Open the opt-in page and press Become a tester: play.google.com/apps/testing/subgeneius.dobbs.wallet

3) Install with the "Download it on Google Play" link on that same page.

4) Leave it installed for fourteen days.

You do not have to fund it, sync it daily, or open it again after the first launch. Being in the group is not the same as being opted in — the group only makes an account eligible, and Play counts nobody until the button is pressed.

Two ways this fails silently, both of which have already cost us an evening

1) Your browser is signed in as one Google account and your phone's Play Store is signed in as another. When that is true the app does not exist as far as the phone is concerned. There is no error message worth reading.

2) You type the store address in by hand instead of using the link on the opt-in page. A closed test has no public listing, so a hand-typed store URL answers "Item not found" with complete confidence while you are a fully enrolled tester in good standing.

What it pays

1000 (BOB) to every tester still opted in on day fourteen.

308 (BOB) on top of that to anyone who posts a screenshot of the wallet's first screen showing the receive-address QR, any time before the trial ends. The address in that screenshot is where both payments go, so the thing you installed is also the thing that tells me where to send them.

⚠ Screenshot the receive screen only. Your recovery phrase is a different screen. Anyone who sees a photograph of it can empty your wallet from anywhere on earth and I will not be able to get it back for you. The receive address is public and safe to show. The words are not.

The 100 (BOB) hardware-report bounty described in our other thread is a separate arrangement and still stands for anyone who would rather report a bug than enroll for two weeks.

The wallet

Non-custodial. bitcoinj underneath, around 11 MB, minimum Android 5.0. Keys are generated on the device and never leave it. No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no telemetry. The build, its known issues and the reason it ships unminified are itemized in topic 5592512.

⚠ If you installed a (BOB) APK before 26 August 2026, the signing key changed. Android will refuse to install the Play copy over the old one and will tell you almost nothing useful about why. Back up your recovery phrase on paper first, then uninstall, then install fresh. Do not skip the backup.

Reports, screenshots and complaints are welcome here, or in the Discord at discord.gg/dAqeASnJkk.

This chain has produced blocks every two minutes for twelve years on volunteer hardware. Five phones for two weeks is a smaller thing than that, and it is the only thing standing between the wallet and the store.

💊 Dobbscoin Core v0.13.8 — if you mine, this one has a deadline

Short version: there is a rule change waiting at block 2,000,000, roughly 24 January 2027. If you are still on v0.13.7 when the chain gets there, your miner can produce blocks the rest of the network throws away. Nothing warns you first. That is not an oversight, it is arithmetic, and it is explained below.

THE DEADLINE

CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY turns on at block 2,000,000. It is a soft fork: it makes things that used to be legal illegal. An older node keeps following the chain either way, so this is not the kind of fork that strands you. What it does do is let an un-upgraded miner build a block that breaks the new rule, which upgraded nodes then refuse. You did the work, you do not get the block.

Normally miners get warned by version signaling, a running count of how much of the network is ready. That does not work here. Past block 2,000,000 the merge-mining chain ID sits in the high bits of every block's version field, so every block reads as version 11,534,339 and the count is meaningless. Activation is by height instead. A flag day. No countdown in your wallet, no percentage, no nudge.

Code:
  chain tip today   ~1,907,000
  activates at       2,000,000
  blocks to go         ~93,000
  at 120s spacing    ~24 January 2027

CLTV is what atomic swaps want. Nothing else in this release needs it.

TWO THINGS THAT WORK THE MOMENT YOU RUN IT

1) Signature checking moved off OpenSSL and onto libsecp256k1. Whether a signature is valid no longer depends on which OpenSSL your particular binary happened to link against. Signing already used it; only verification was on the old path. 68,863 real mainnet transactions were re-validated against the new path before this shipped, and the harness was proved by sabotage rather than trusted: break the verifier on purpose and the same check goes red.

2) A peer-selection loop no longer eats a CPU core. On a node that knows few addresses, the address manager could sit in an unbounded retry loop forever. Measured on a live node: 99.2% of a core before, 0.1% after. If your node has been mysteriously warm, this was why.

ALSO IN HERE

Ten spare DNS seed names alongside the original. One seed name is one thing to break.

-assumevalid, which lets a fresh node skip re-checking signatures below a block you have no way to disagree with. It relaxes no rule: every other check still runs on every block, and -assumevalid=0 verifies everything the long way if you would rather.

Everything from v0.13.7 is still here: the pool-mining fix, the Mining tab, the chain vitals on the Overview page, the solo miner, NAT-PMP.

💊 AN OPEN LETTER TO 16UGKvnCt4iD8FxM1LRdfo81GtkTjMD3vE · CASE CLOSED

Update, 27 September 2026: we were wrong. He was never working for free.

This post used to say that somebody had spent four months mining (BOB) into the pool's own wallet and had earned nothing. That was not true.

The address belongs to a customer of The (Bob) Bank. The bank hands out deposit addresses from the same wallet the pool pays from, so from the outside his address looked like ours. His miner was pointed at his own bank deposit address, which is exactly where it should have been, and his pool payouts have been landing in his bank account since May.

The one real problem was on our side. A maintenance change on 8 September stopped the bank from noticing incoming payouts for about a day, so one batch never reached his account. That batch has now been credited in full.

He found this thread, we found him, and everyone is square. He has since pointed his rig at a wallet of his own, with SLACKOFF in the worker name, which works just as well.

Praise "Bob". Check the ledger before you write the letter.

💊 Dobbscoin Core v0.14.0: new wallet format, a faster miner, a Windows installer

Short version: the first time v0.14.0 starts, it converts your wallet.dat to a new format and keeps the original beside it. Older versions cannot open the converted file, so make a backup before you upgrade. The built-in miner is 5 to 6 times faster. Windows gets a real installer. No consensus rule changes: if you mine, v0.13.8 or later is still what you need before block 2,000,000.

THE WALLET

wallet.dat moves from Berkeley DB to SQLite. The records inside are the same (keys, labels, watch-only addresses, transactions); only the file around them changes. On first start v0.14.0:

Code:
1. reads the old wallet.dat without touching it
2. writes every record into a new SQLite file
3. reads the new file back and checks it against the old one, byte for byte
4. keeps the original as wallet.dat.bdb-<number>, unchanged
5. only then gives the new file the name wallet.dat

If any step fails, the node stops and your wallet.dat is left exactly as it was. Encrypted wallets convert without the passphrase, and the same passphrase unlocks them afterwards.

The way back, if you need it: rename the kept .bdb file back to wallet.dat, or dumpwallet here and importwallet on the old version. Both were tested against v0.13.8.

The new wallet code was checked with a code review and with fuzzing, which means feeding it millions of damaged and random files. That found and fixed several problems before release, the worst being a damaged wallet that could load with an encrypted key missing and no error. None of them ever shipped.

THE MINER

The built-in miner used to hash one nonce at a time with the reference scrypt code. It now runs several at once using your processor's SIMD instructions, and picks the fastest method by itself:

Code:
  8 threads, AVX2 processor    16,500 H/s  ->  95,000 H/s
  4 threads, SSE2-only         16,900 H/s  ->  39,500 H/s

Solo and pool mode both use it. Only the miner changed: validating blocks still uses the original scrypt, and every block the miner finds is re-checked with it before it is sent. -minerscrypt=generic|sse2|avx|avx2 forces one method if you want to compare.

The network runs at about 100 kH/s right now. One desktop with this build is a real share of it.

WINDOWS

A setup.exe alongside the zip. It installs to Program Files, adds a Start menu entry, and uninstalls cleanly. If the wallet is still running, it says so and waits instead of failing halfway through. The installer used to carry Bitcoin's logo from an old code import; it carries the coin now. Updated libraries: OpenSSL 3.5.8, Boost 1.83, Qt 5.15.

LINUX

The tarballs no longer need libnatpmp or libminiupnpc, which every Linux build since v0.13.5 did. They need libsqlite3-0 instead, which nearly every system already has. Both tarballs now include dobbscoin-cli. The AppImage needs nothing.

NETWORK

Five more DNS seed names on a second domain, 23skidoo.info, so finding peers does not depend on one registrar. And the built-in fallback list, used when no DNS seed answers, was still Bitcoin's from 2015 and reached no (BOB) node at all. It now lists the six public (BOB) nodes.

FOR PEOPLE WHO BUILD

Berkeley DB 4.8 is gone as a build dependency. CMake builds the whole tree beside Autotools for this release. BUILDING.md has copy-and-paste steps for the Linux wallet and the Windows installer. qa/run-all.sh runs every test suite: 26 passed, 0 failed.

CODEX APOCHARUM FABRICATORUM
The Book of Dobbscoin, bound on the Gnosis chain


This is not an NFT drop. It is scripture, and that is meant literally.
https://subgenius.finance/codex

Fourteen Books, written by the Hand of Rev. x_static from three contradictory pastebins and one man's memory of a Discord that no longer exists.
Where the accounts disagreed, he chose the funnier one. One hundred copies of each Book, on Gnosis, open now.



WHAT IS IN THE TOKEN

The whole Book. The text, the cover, and the reader that turns its pages are stored in the contract and served from it. There is no server holding the real copy. There is no real copy. If every site we run goes dark, the Books keep reading.

What is not in the token: a promise. Read the Notice of Impermanence before you donate. It is printed on the page and in the Book.



A SAMPLE OF THE TEXT
Quote
1:4 And the rulers of the systems said unto them:
"Be patient, consume more, and your reward shall arrive later."

1:5 But later never arrived. Later has never once arrived. Later is a subscription product and you are three months behind on it.

1:6 This condition was called The Great Boredom, and it was the most successful thing ever built, and nobody had to build it.
Book I, The Book of Origins. All fourteen read free at subgenius.finance/codex, straight off the chain. No wallet, no signup, no email.


THE PARTS

Books I through XIV. 1 xDAI each. 100 copies of each. Every copy numbered, with a Certificate of Issue that records the block it was given in.

The Collected Works. Never sold. Hold one copy of every Book and bind them; the fourteen go inside it and stay there. It is numbered in the order sets are bound, and the copy numbers inside do not have to match. Unbinding is allowed after seven days, because otherwise one man with fourteen Books could burn through every number in a long weekend.

The Complete Canon. 23 xDAI. One hundred, in four leathers, twenty-five each. You choose the leather and how badly it has been treated: Pristine, Read, Well-Thumbed, or Survived the Rupture. The wear on your copy is painted after your donation and sealed to the chain. Then it cannot be repaired.



The trading post. Built into the contract. List a copy, name a price, wait. No marketplace lists Gnosis books, so we stopped asking them.


WHERE THE DONATION GOES

Into the SubGenius.Finance proceeds vault, from the same transaction. The vault buys GNO and sets it as a buy order under wBOB in the wBOB/GNO pool, locked four years. Trading post sales send 2.5% the same way.

No refunds, because the money is not here. No admin key. No pause. The curator cannot mint a free copy, change a price, or move your Book. The source is verified, all nineteen contracts, exact match on Sourcify.



WHAT IT IS NOT

It is not an investment. It will not go up. If it goes up, something has gone wrong with the world, and you should check outside.

We would rather you read it than bought it. Reading it is free.



Contract: 0xBcb314BBDE5711EbA97004C48a377B5D897D1782
Never used a wallet: the page has six pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one.
Discussion: forum.subgenius.vip, topic 43

Book I, Nº 1 of 100 went to the treasury, along with Nº 1 of the other thirteen. They were bound into Collected Works Nº 1 the same hour. Somebody had to be first, and the treasury does not sleep.

Dobbscoin Core v0.14.1
The wallet now comes in the dark.

https://dobbscoin.info/downloads

The Conspiracy prefers you work under fluorescent light. As of this release, the (BOB) wallet does not. Options > Display > Theme: System, Light or Dark. It was asked for in Dobbscord by dokfaux, filed as issue #49, built, screenshotted, put out as a test build, and released in about a day.


Nothing in the wallet file format, the consensus rules or the network protocol changes. From v0.14.0 it is a plain swap.



DARK MODE

Three choices. Light is the wallet as it has always looked. Dark is dark all the way through: tabs, dialogs, the debug console. System follows your operating system: on Windows it reads the app mode setting, and on macOS and Linux it follows the colors your desktop already gives programs. The setting takes effect after a restart, and -theme=dark on the command line does the same thing.

The wallet's icons are SubGenius clip art, not stock pictograms, and recoloring them by machine turned "Bob" into a photo negative. So the black line art got light versions, chosen drawing by drawing, and every drawing of "Bob" keeps his own linework with a light outline. The pipe stays lit.







Before and after for every tab, plus the art, is on the issue: #49. The code is PR #50.



FORGET A PRIVATE KEY

File > Receiving addresses, right-click an address, Forget private key. The key comes back out of the wallet, which is what you want after an importprivkey you no longer need hot. You choose whether the address stays behind as watch-only, so its balance and history remain visible. The wallet refuses its default key, keys still in the keypool, and keys it uses for change.

Two console commands go with it:


Code:
removeprivkey "address" ( keepwatchonly force )
signmessagewithprivkey "privkey" "message"

The second signs with a key you paste in and never imports it, so a cold key can prove ownership without becoming hot.

⚠ A forgotten key is gone from the wallet file. Backups made before still contain it. If you have no backup and no copy of the key, the coins at that address are gone with it.




MINING TAB

A new choice at the top: when the wallet opens, don't mine, mine solo, or mine at a pool. Solo waits until a peer has been connected for 30 seconds and the wallet has every block it knows about. Pool uses your saved pool, pay-to address and threads. gen= or stratum= in dobbscoin.conf still overrides it.

The pool and pay-to fields now say why they come filled in. No address ships with the wallet. If the pay-to box has one, it is yours, from last time, saved on your own machine, and a note under the box says so.




COMING FROM v0.13.x

Read the v0.14.0 notes first. The first start converts wallet.dat from Berkeley DB to SQLite, checks the new file against the old one byte for byte, and keeps the original beside it. On a large wallet that takes a while, and Windows will label the window "Not Responding" the whole time. It is working. Let it finish.

Miners: v0.13.8 or later before block 2,000,000. As of this post that is about 54,000 blocks away, around 25 January 2027. CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY activates there by height, with no signaling beforehand. The explorer counts it down.




HOW IT WAS CHECKED

Every program reports a clean v0.14.1. The 37 consensus and scrypt test cases pass, and qa/run-all.sh passes 27 of 27. An encrypted wallet holds 202 encrypted keys and not one in cleartext, unlocks with the right passphrase and refuses a wrong one. On a machine that did not build them, the Linux daemon mined, sent and confirmed a payment, backed itself up, and ran both new commands, and the AppImage opened in Dark.

The Windows installer and zip come from the same build setup as v0.14.0's but have not been started on Windows by us yet. If you are first, tell us how it went in this thread or on the tracker.

Dobbscoin Core v0.14.1
The wallet now comes in the dark.

https://dobbscoin.info/downloads

The Conspiracy prefers you work under fluorescent light. As of this release, the (BOB) wallet does not. Options > Display > Theme: System, Light or Dark. It was asked for in Dobbscord by dokfaux, filed as issue #49, built, screenshotted, put out as a test build, and released in about a day.


Nothing in the wallet file format, the consensus rules or the network protocol changes. From v0.14.0 it is a plain swap.



DARK MODE

Three choices. Light is the wallet as it has always looked. Dark is dark all the way through: tabs, dialogs, the debug console. System follows your operating system: on Windows it reads the app mode setting, and on macOS and Linux it follows the colors your desktop already gives programs. The setting takes effect after a restart, and -theme=dark on the command line does the same thing.

The wallet's icons are SubGenius clip art, not stock pictograms, and recoloring them by machine turned "Bob" into a photo negative. So the black line art got light versions, chosen drawing by drawing, and every drawing of "Bob" keeps his own linework with a light outline. The pipe stays lit.







Before and after for every tab, plus the art, is on the issue: #49. The code is PR #50.



FORGET A PRIVATE KEY

File > Receiving addresses, right-click an address, Forget private key. The key comes back out of the wallet, which is what you want after an importprivkey you no longer need hot. You choose whether the address stays behind as watch-only, so its balance and history remain visible. The wallet refuses its default key, keys still in the keypool, and keys it uses for change.

Two console commands go with it:


Code:
removeprivkey "address" ( keepwatchonly force )
signmessagewithprivkey "privkey" "message"

The second signs with a key you paste in and never imports it, so a cold key can prove ownership without becoming hot.

⚠ A forgotten key is gone from the wallet file. Backups made before still contain it. If you have no backup and no copy of the key, the coins at that address are gone with it.




MINING TAB

A new choice at the top: when the wallet opens, don't mine, mine solo, or mine at a pool. Solo waits until a peer has been connected for 30 seconds and the wallet has every block it knows about. Pool uses your saved pool, pay-to address and threads. gen= or stratum= in dobbscoin.conf still overrides it.

The pool and pay-to fields now say why they come filled in. No address ships with the wallet. If the pay-to box has one, it is yours, from last time, saved on your own machine, and a note under the box says so.




COMING FROM v0.13.x

Read the v0.14.0 notes first. The first start converts wallet.dat from Berkeley DB to SQLite, checks the new file against the old one byte for byte, and keeps the original beside it. On a large wallet that takes a while, and Windows will label the window "Not Responding" the whole time. It is working. Let it finish.

Miners: v0.13.8 or later before block 2,000,000. As of this post that is about 54,000 blocks away, around 25 January 2027. CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY activates there by height, with no signaling beforehand. The explorer counts it down.




HOW IT WAS CHECKED

Every program reports a clean v0.14.1. The 37 consensus and scrypt test cases pass, and qa/run-all.sh passes 27 of 27. An encrypted wallet holds 202 encrypted keys and not one in cleartext, unlocks with the right passphrase and refuses a wrong one. On a machine that did not build them, the Linux daemon mined, sent and confirmed a payment, backed itself up, and ran both new commands, and the AppImage opened in Dark.

The Windows installer and zip come from the same build setup as v0.14.0's but have not been started on Windows by us yet. If you are first, tell us how it went in this thread or on the tracker.

Lol nice work, I remember right after I did the fork I toyed with dark mode and got it working but don't gui too much and abandoned it.
