Thanks, time to get to work!!


So here is the gist of what i could glean,

1) There were multiple forks, i count 6
2) There was a group of solo miners who did not heed my decision to stick to the update and they now have 5K useless blocks.
3) Getblocktemplate was failing for some users because it assumes that the client is still downloading blocks if a certain amount of time has passed since th last block solved.
4) Some of the more stringent rules i placed in order to ensure network wide consensus on BNs were now preventing miners fro solving block 200000
5) Getwork was the quickest way around it using solo.

So since hack_ has the pools, i gave him the git password and some tips, seems he got most of it right, i'm just here to finish the job.

While i did have limited net access....i did have a laptop.... so expect some new code to go up for review, very very soon. (frustrated my friends to no end)

for direct contact please use bitcreditscc@gmail.com, during the course of my detour , someone helped themselves to some of my belongings left in the flat including my phones. 

[bitcreditscc]

Any working pool?

hack_ pools (my pools, but he runs them) are the most reliable, along with sawa's.

[gavrilo77]

So the last client is 0.30.16.9-rc3 ?
If it is it cant be connected to any node. Number of the connection is 0

Welcome back dev!

Just built from the latest master, ran the qt client with --reindex and got as far as block 200000, then stuck. Will try again having deleted everything but my wallet.dats and bitcredit.conf file.

I'll take all my BNs down and await the go-ahead to restart them.

Am I right in thinking that BN mining isn't active yet? If it is I'll only be able to restart some of my BNs if there's still just the 50k collateral option. Looking forward to larger collateral options...  with just 5 of my own boxes on different ISPs I'd have most PoW coins effectively beat for decentralisation singlehanded.

I'm back in the mix, feels good to be working again. while syncing, check getpeerinfo and see who you are syncing from, i'll be spinning up some of my own larger nodes sood, like the exchange, so there'll be more clients running the correct version.

if your wallet says 301609, 70009 then you are on the correct version, it will try to connect to the pools and me and sync from there,

current block height is 200053

Bn mining is disabled for now as i had to roll back a few changes and find out who or what was messing with us. There is someone out there who reportedly just update the wallet and tried to broadcast bad nodes.... i'm sure he/she realizes the error of their ways by now.

Bidding is active though... likely i will write a guide sometime today once i slow down.

The next update likely will feature a major re-design of the nodes to make room for multiple types of nodes. I have the concept down and some code but this is now high level stuff, i'd like to take a week or two before posting anything. Likely we'll run a parallel network, where we can run in depth testing.

Meanwhile until i get a new phone, i'm relegated to checking my email once in a while for replies on this thread and PMs (damn that bastard(s))  as i don't get instant notifications.

I've alerted the exchange and chainz to update as well.

OK, as soon as I've got my local wallet sorted I'll bootstrap all my BNs from that.

Any care to share the compiled 70009 version wallet?

@bitcreditscc

Glad that You are back.

I was thinking before about suggesting to use some testnet for some bigger changes but I'm asking a lot lately  , happy that I don't have Dash masternode with so many version changes ...

So my BNs wasted 8 days, still I can live with it.



I would like linux Ubuntu 14.04 x64 version too.

Tried to start to compile, first command "git clone https://github.com/bitcreditscc/bicreditsnew.git"  and I get "username for 'https://github.com' : bitcreditscc" then "password..."   , lol what


BTW

Anyone tried to use boostrap from linux in windows wallet or vice -versa is it compatible ?

Please do a fresh system. As you can see fro the reference pools and wallets, everything is in order. I'd encourage you to first delete the existing folders and related settings then re-clone and build. When the wallet reports that it is properly synced, that is when you should start p2pool.

Ok few steps ahead, it was my typo in "bicreditsnew" but now after "./configure --enable-upnp-default --enable-tests=no --with-miniupnpc --with-gui=qt5"  I get 

 "configure: error: libcurl not found"

Any wise head there willing to help ?

sudo apt-get install libcurl (or whatever variant works with your flavor)

lol, botnet on the pool http://p2pool.website:8776/static/p2pool-node-status/

someone will be mighty disappointed when we move to BN only mining.

Try

Code:

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev

Failing that, I've uploaded some linux binaries here: www.thebuckstop.net/BCR

Still syncing here or would have uploaded the blocks folder too.

edit: to answer previous question, blocks folder should be OS agnostic, just copy it over.
