Exactly, but the dev is sure that he is working on solving the problem, since he would not lose my coins, he will upload a new copy of the chain to the website, because they will support the long chain that is the one that handles cryptopia
I bought these coins to set up a masternode
Me too. Does it work to set up a masternode on llinux/ubuntu? Where are the instructions for it? First post only covers windows
Yes, masternodes work perfectly on Linux (Ubuntu in particular). Not sure there are instructions for this coin, but the process is the same as most other masternode coins, aka Dash or BitSend. The collateral is 112 8BIT, thats the only difference.
Also, masternode.conf cannot be used with the current source, but that is easily fixable, if anyone needs, I can send the instructions to patch the source.
Heh, to write good instructions, I have to spend a lot of time, which I don't have unfortunately. To write bad instructions, I need much less time, but I don't want to write bad instructions.
However here is a good guide here for setting up ChainCoin masternodes: http://chaincoin.org/Setting%20up%20a%20Chaincoin%20Masternode%20-%20draft%20v.04.pdf
It is too detailed to my taste, but is a nice one. With some understanding, you can follow it, while replacing ChainCoin with 8bit where needed. Or just read it, to get an idea on what needs to be done. The first part (setting up a VPS) is completely generic, and can be followed blindly. The second part - needs to be adopted for 8bit. Volunteers welcome.
