After running Mr. Higgins 9.4 Gapcoin port of Bitcoin core using the local daemon and mining with ./gapcoin-cli setgenerate true a different problem arises. I was thinking if it was a conflicted parameters for the built in miner and using the built in miner using setgenerate true. That the local daemon would show if this was true or not. I did not get the same error and shut down as with running the QT wallet. However, It seems to prevent locking the computer screen as if a hidden process is going on somewhere. I let it run to see if my local screen saver would lock it over time. But after 45 mins still unlocked desktop. Re-booting the computer without running Gapcoin daemon fixed it. But I am not going to test Mr. Higgins' "software" any longer.
Now, normally I would think it is just general stuff due to it being a 1 man show with Mr. Higgins. However, I find nothing trustworthy at all. And the so called person who "Called" in his help is the spam poster BitcoinFX, who could care less if anything is backdoored since he uses virtual machines on cloud computing. (At least what he admits to doing).
I encourage anyone to contribute to updating Code for Trisquel 9 soon to be released.
But good luck to anyone who chooses to focus on dominating the shift 25 using Mr. Higgins code work.
What the .. ?
So this virus doesn't work well? Is that basically what you're saying?
Or maybe the Gapcoin Miner is a trojan to .?. mine Monero ? or to hack at random 3 people?
What's the point ? You can see and investigate all the
code and commits ...
Re-booting the computer without running Gapcoin daemon fixed it.
Is this a diagnosis?
And stop to tell "Mr. Higgins this..", "Mr. Higgins that.."
It's starting to be ridiculous.
It's of course not impossible, but you'll have to prove your assumptions.
Thank you for your contribution
1. I'm not a spam poster. Individual and uniquely targeted PM's are not spam. I'm actually a contributor to an open source anti-spam project.
2. I did not bring gjhiggins in as a developer. He contributes to the gapcoin project entirely of this own volition and that deserves to be respected.
3. I use cloud computing solutions and my own IT infrastructure ...
4. Gapcoin does not have a 'backdoor' you can read / check the source code for yourself.
5. If you had been following the Gapcoin project more closely you would know that the 'Header Shift' is already optimal in the default mining range.
e.g.
"Modded CPU-Miner (by dcct, about 10x faster than old version)"The additional Mining Tab in the v0.9.4 wallet does a great job of presenting what is happening and will be useful for the higher ranges, moving forward.
No, it is not the Gapcoin code. Of 3 different blockchains on a new install, it is mostly likely 1 of the other 2.
But the In-built miner error is Real, which is just as bad. But it is ok, as I assume it is set for people who like simple things.
But whatever, I tried building up the code, almost got it to compile from Jonn9 original code.
Just can't get by a Serialize.h error for the moment.
After playing with the Gapcoin code however, Jonn9 and the 0.9.2 Gapcoin code compared to Bitcoin 0.20.0 is like climbing the bean stalk. I think it is where the giant bean stock keeps growing bigger and bigger Until the giant comes around to the little guy climbing the bean stalk and talks things over.
"Story
Jack, a poor country boy, trades the family cow for a handful of magic beans, which grow into an enormous beanstalk reaching up into the clouds. Jack climbs the beanstalk and finds himself in the castle of an unfriendly giant. The giant senses Jack's presence and cries, “Fee, fie, fo, fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman!” Outwitting the giant, Jack is able to retrieve many goods once stolen from his family, including an enchanted goose that lays golden eggs. Jack then escapes by chopping down the beanstalk. The giant, who is pursuing him, falls to his death, and Jack and his family prosper. "
Gapcoin has not seen any chain forks.
The v0.9.2 release is a good starting point,
https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.9.2, as a great number of additional bugs were only introduced with future Bitcoin features and/or releases. We now have the advantage of being able to 'cherry pick' from the repositories on the way up.
Now, do stop trying to malign Gapcoin. In many regards Gapcoin is more original than the 'original' Bitcoin.
