[ANN] [CND] CannabisDarkcoin TAKEOVER by Altcoin.Center - New official thread!

[altcoin.center]

(Background info of the takeover in the old thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=825005.msg9656590#msg9656590)

Dear CannabisDarkcoin community,

I hereby announce the taking over of CannabisDarkcoin by Altcoin.Center!

What this means is that Altcoin.Center will:

- Provide upgraded wallets compiled against current non-vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL library. No new functionality will be added at this point; this is just an initial "emergency" update to eliminate the risks related to the buggy versions of OpenSSL.

- Initiate the search for a developer who is able and willing to take charge of technical development of CND

- Manage the strategical planning and overall coordination of the non-technical side of CND development, i.e. branding, partnership deals etc.

- Generally look after the coin doing our best to give it a long, stable and prosperous life.

For starters we have already added CannabisDarkcoin to the Altcoin.Center addseed network. The network currently has four DDoS protected nodes; two in Europe, two in Northern America. More nodes are to be added shortly. The task of the nodes is to provide a permanent high availability block source for CND as well as other coins "protected" by us.

The seed servers can be reached at the following addresses:

addnode=seeds.altcoin.center
addnode=seeds.altcoincenter.eu
addnode=seeds.altcoincenter.us

The block chain served by the nodes is the same that both Bleutrade and C-Cex recognize as the one with the most work in it. NOTE! There are still several forks out there, so make sure your wallet is in sync with the above seeds servers!

When posting this announcement, the number of blocks in the "official" chain is 86569 and rising at the rate of about 1-2 blocks per minute.

Both Bleutrade and C-Cex have been informed, asking them not to de-list the coin.

More info will be made available soon!

Ah, thanks for the reminder!

Will take care of that right away!

Please let me know if I've missed any others - it's been super hectic 48 hours here so mishaps may have happened.

It appears BitTrex is attached to one of the several forks that appeared some time ago.

I've sent them a contact request hoping to solve the situation ASAP.

Just added your seed nodes to my .conf file and my wallet has started to catch up a lot faster.

I had only recently, (yesterday) downloaded the original wallet from the old thread so that I could send my remaining coins from BITtrex to my desktop wallet; so glad to know that the coin is now in better hands.

Congratulations go ahead gallant soldier of the cryptos,  I STRONGLY WISH YOU SUCCESS in this endeavor.
Getting that coin up again is noble.

Good to hear that - thanks for the report!

BitTrex also responded to my contact request and are checking ther CND wallet status as we speak.

great news. I support CND now.

Cannabidiol (CBD) would also work as the abbreviation for this coin.

That's an excellent idea indeed! =D

Another idea for the coin, would be to get a multipool set up for it. Multipoolmining.com are great for this type of thing and make mining simple. It will also create a decent buy pressure for the coin.

Probably better to do this once new wallets are released and working well though.

An excellent point! I'll definitely take this into account.

There is in fact a new rather interesting pool being built to support the Altcoin.Center grand scheme of creating a new level of trust and stability in the altcoin scene.

Thanks again for the tip!

Cheers. Also, do you have a fully up to date blockchain that you can upload, as my wallet has taken nearly 24hrs now to sync and I still have 11,200 blocks to go. Have quite a few coins heading to wallet and would like to know they are safe.

We sure do! Actually, eventually we will be providing automatically updated zip archives of block chains of all of the coins hosted in our network. We're not quite there though so I made this one for you manually:

http://fr1.pool.altcoin.center/cannabisdarkcoin-data.zip

It's from a 64-bit Linux system and I'm not 100% certain whether or not it will work when just copied over to another OS. Please let me know of the results - it's valuable information to me. =)

Cheers for the files. I am using Windows 7 x64, and didn't work.

Never mind, but glad I could at least test it for you.

Here is the error message I received:

[altcoin.center]

Hi!

Thanks for the information!

I faced a similar situation just a day or two ago, using 64-bit Windows 8.

I haven't had the time to test and investigate these issues at all due to more urgent tasks, which is why the automated data file downloads are not available yet.

What I do know that at least with some coins a data directory created in 64-bit Windows does work ok in 64-bit Linux.

This is pure guesswork, but it may have something to do with the endianess of different operating systems and platforms; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness

Thanks again for testing it out anyways!

I hope you'll be able to get your wallt synchronized soon. I was experiencing similar troubles when I was synchronizing the Windows CDN wallet for the first time. I noticed that it would download a bunch of blocks fast right after it had started, but soon came to a complete halt. After some tweaking and testing I ended up in a horrible hack: I created a schedule Windows task that would start and quit the wallet once a minute. It was ugly but it did the trick...

The fact is that things are pretty badly messed up with the CND block chain, and possibly with the wallet software as well. For example, I can't get a fresh Windows CND wallet (with zero block loaded) initiate synchronization with the seeds servers at all. The connection is built ok on network level, but no data arrives in. The debug log does not reveal anything of use; call you can tell from it is that the client and the server greet each other as they should, the client says it has zero blocks and the server responds back with the current block count - and then the connection just remains open without anything happening.

While this is again just guesswork, I do have a feeling even the "healthy" version of the block chain may have been corrupted somehow at some point. The situation will be taken care of eventually, one way or another. It's starting to look as if a mandatory update could become necessary some time soon, but that's not for certain yet. It's a tricky situation but we're on it. =)

Hi!

There is still at least two separate forks of the CND block chain out there.

The one our seed servers are providing is the same that Bleutrade and C-Cex CND wallets are synchronized to, while Bittrex is attached to some of the smaller forks.

This is exactly the kind of situation that could wreck huge havoc to the all mighty Bitcoin itself. I started a thread about the issue some time ago, looking for skilled developers to participate in a task force that would specialize in disaster recovery and post-disaster unification of the forked chains: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=812863.0

I'm working on finding a solution to the situation. It's a challenging yet also very interesting one.
