It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency,
since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site;
Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in -
your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency
so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.
how to host masternode on windows?? any link or videos
I have a hunch that you may be able to make your Chaincoin-QT client behave as a masternode by setting up your chaincoin.conf and using the Debug Console to issue command masternode start.
For instructions, go here, but ignore everything at the beginning about setting up the Linux instance and building the application (this isn't applicable to you):
Send exactly 1,000 coins to your wallet in a single transaction (no less and no more, I'm serious, account for the fee if you are sending from Cryptopia send 1000.0001 for example). The 1,000 CHC must be in a SINGLE TRANSACTION in your wallet, or it won't work.
Extract the private key corresponding to the Chaincoin address that received the 1,000 CHC and put that in the masternodeprivkey property of the chaincoin.conf file. It should look something like this:
Once this is done, restart Chaincoin-QT, let it initialize, then go to debug console and enter:
masternode start
It is a good idea to look carefully at information in the debug.log file (same folder as chaincoin.conf). Look carefully for the word capable in debug.log, because when your masternode receives 15 confirmations, you'll see that message, indicating that your node is masternode-capable.
Next, the acid test though is whether you see your node in the list when you issue this command:
masternode list
If you see your IP address in the list with the word "ENABLED" you're probably good-to-go.
Note: you must open ports 8333 and 11994 through your router to your PC for this to work. If those ports are not open, no dice. Also, you must leave your machine on 24X7.
Thanks I had a rpi running , but after relocating it just wont work , so I decided to try windows , but after looking at your comments, I just remembered that I didn't do the port forwarding stuff , thanks , will give windows a shot and updates you .

Chaincoin website has been hacked!! It hasnt been fixed for 5+ hours!
Where is the dev team? Do they even exist? Crazy its taken 5+ hours to fix a website lol. CHC is worth $10mm+, if it took a regular company that was worth 10 million dollars more than a day to fixed a hacked site that would be crazy! At least take down the defaced text lol. The same should go for crypto.
----------------------------
I dont think the CHC team exists anymore, if they do, they dont do any work
I've noted that those original links don't work (they may be fixed now that the developers of CHC are coming back). Mean time come join the ChaincoinHODLERs Discord channel:
Can someone tell me why this coin should reach 100$ (or even raise to a new ATH in the near future)?
One can read about the strong hodl community, but where's this community now, the coin went trough a massive pump&dump, backed by some youtubers and it seems to me that almost nobody is left anymore, besides the users which set up a master node. What is so special about this coin? Where is the strong hodl community now? Why should the average crypto user invest in CHC?
HODL community is still there in force. You should have seen the outpouring of emotion the last time Random Tandems came online. He did a show from his car driving with a lot of people viewing, and the solidarity and cohesion was awesome. A lot of people sent Random donations because he's having trouble in his personal life. There was one message shared by all: don't give up and HODL
Max seems a little more subdued, he's down because the HighOnCoins slack channel got hacked. But he's still there with hundreds of followers saying the same thing: HODL.
Yeah that sounds nice and all. I must admit i rode the CHC-hype train and booked some profits, and went back in later (overall im in loss now, but whatever) Im also not planning to sell this coin in loss, so count me in the hodl-movement for the moment but i just don't get all the optimism. Sure, even after the dump, the gain of CHC is impressive but to reach the announced targets you need a lot more than hundreds of followers and some Youtubers with 10,000 clicks. I just don't get rid of the feeling that some p&d whales took the opportunity to suck out some profits and left a lot of average traders back which will take distance from CHC in the future.

Dude, the community is stronger than ever. Join us on discord (link on twitter.com/zedomax)

Thanks! I think I will continue having one server per MN then. Its only $6 per month with daily backup, and I also think that I spread the risk of hacking with different servers.
Right on. Oh, one more thing that is good about separate server: with AWS, I can easily make an AMI (Amazon Media Image) of the Chaincoin server, then launch new instances. This is like cloning. So when I get more CHC, I'll just spin up another instance by cloning the AMI. All I need to do is edit the chaincoin.conf file to put in the IP address and voila, another node. No need to go through all the hassle of compiling the C++ code (make) and so on.
In my case, I'm saving money now by NOT allocating Amazon Elastic IP addresses. The downside of this is if I stop the servers, the IP address may be reassigned, but since I leave them running 24X7 this isn't a problem.
So I've now got 2 up and running MN and enough coins for a third. Im using vultr.com and have setup one server per MN. Are you guys running more than 1 MN per server, or do you have 1 server per MN?
I have been using a single server for each masternode. I tried to consolidate all of them, and it didn't work out, at least not in my case. By having each masternode on a single server using Amazon AWS type t2.nano (512MB) and 25GB drives, everything seems to be working.
I tried to use a technique mentioned on one of the DASH forums discussed here:
What I didn't realize (and this took some hacking) is that even when you consolidate wallets as documented, you still need to have the discrete masternodes running. And this is tricky, because if you follow the instructions and you DON'T have the discrete masternodes running, it will appear, at least temporarily, that it is working.
The false-positive symptom is that your masternodes will appear in the return from chaindcoind masternode list as ENABLED (false). This will last only about an hour and then they will be marked as EXPIRED and finally disappear. This is because the network periodically tries to do some kind of transaction against the port.
In theory, it could be possible set up each master node on the same machine with a different port number. I was going down this path, but I found that running multiple copies of chaincoind (daemon) was using a lot of memory, so much that I'd have to upgrade to a much bigger machine to do it. Also, I could not find a way to "share" the blockchain between the daemons (there may be a way but I could not find it). This means that you have to make a copy of the .chaincoin directory for each daemon, and it gets messy.
TL;DR - it is easier and cleaner to run each masternode on a separate t2.nano instance. Each one costs $4.95/month to run, so it is kind of like renting a Raspberry Pi.
BTW Generally speaking, almost everything documented in DASH works for Chaincoin as well, so it is a good trick, because native Chaincoin documentation is scarce.

OH PS: I have a great trick that came out of this effort. I have five Chaincoin masternodes on AWS. Each has its own wallet.dat file. What I have done is export all of the wallet.dat private keys, then imported them into a consoldated wallet.dat file called masternodes.dat. That consolidated wallet is now on my Windows machine used with Chaincoin-QT, the Windows client program.
When I imported the private keys, I imported them using importprivkey where is the name of the Chaincoin AWS machine (e.g., Chaincoin 1, Chaincoin 2 and so on).
The result of this is that mined coins appear consolidated in the Chaincoin-QT transaction list as shown here:
Very nice. So I can leave Chaincoin-QT up and monitor the mining activities without having to SSH into AWS.
So I've now got 2 up and running MN and enough coins for a third. Im using vultr.com and have setup one server per MN. Are you guys running more than 1 MN per server, or do you have 1 server per MN?
