Ok, so you claim that " tar dumps" from yandex source code are different than "windows compiled" binary from yandex, and that their source code is different, because otherwise "tar dumps" would compile without problems.

So basically we have closed source windows only 0.15.99 version with bug, which is considerate as important to fix.

Edit2: @gjhiggins - would you in some free time compile a version with this commit merged ? https://github.com/datacoinproject/datacoin-core/commit/0ef61078762ee6ec71773f48e1d4ec0b1b8cc3b3

It's an important bug fix, so I think there should be release, but do as you wish. I will update as soon as possible AIO, if you release it.
I didn't compile the Windows binary - there was a flurry of back'n'forth over some Windows-specific issues that resulted in a binary but IIRC, no resulting  code updates were ever published. From this, I infer that the published code doesn't compile for Windows, or on Windows or whatever. I put some time and effort into organising the Yandex tarball dumps as commits in a GitHub repos to add a degree of storage persistence but that's as far as it went. Please note that the comments in the code indicate that the upgrade is as yet incomplete.

Cheers

I must ask you. Did you install Datacoin AIO without changes to default director aka folder?
Was %appdata%/Datacoin directory or some different directory?
Because if you installed AIO in default directory, you should be able to use it's blockchain snapshot with old client, just turn on Datacoin 0.8.6.

Or maybe not... I must see for myself if it works.

Edit: ok so it's not compatible, I'm sorry I was wrong.

I will see if I can make Datacoin AIO 0.8.6.

If anyone would give me snapshot of old client blockchain it would be much faster to do it.

If you would see a few posts above you have Datacoin AIO for windows (whole blockchain and dtc browser in one simple installer with datacoin qt 0.15.99.Cool
If not on windows just compile 0.15.99 version from sources.

Hi, Thanks for that.
I have downloaded Datacoin.AIO.exe, and that started all my wallet issues.It was very quick to sync, but does not allow solo mining from an external miner.

I have no idea how to compile under Linux, but am guessingt that even if i managed it, it would compile a Linux version. I am simply after a finished Win 10 version.

Hmm, I don't know what's wrong then with it, cause I didn't build it, just I used files which were here.

I can make Datacoin 0.8.6 AIO, if it would help you.
Or just use the files you have with 0.15.99 and turn on old client 0.8.6. It should sync quickly enough.

And with Datacoin AIO I must warn - you must only install to the default catalog/folder it will choose - it's designed to do so - because otherwise it would have to sync from scratch. Only default dir works. And also that I didnt test it enough, with all configurations, so install it on your own resposibility (as most software).

Thankyou
I'm at block 2255470 ish now, so about 35 weeks behind, so another 2 days and it should be synced....don't know what has changed it never used to be THIS slow...8 connections, SSD, 8c/16t cpu...200M internet connection....so I don't get it, heck I can download 100GB a day easily....will see what happens when it finishes....just frustrating
Seems to be syncing about 1 block every 1/2 second

Good afternoon,

Guys, how long before the latest wallet allows SOLO mining from an external miner.
I have re-downloaded 0.8.6.0 and its taken 5 days so far and still hasn't synced, this is ridiculous. I'm still 39 weeks behind, 14 hours ago I was 41 weeks behind.
Even worse, when I finally get bored, and go back to the newer wallets, they re-sync everything, which also takes days.
I've also found some wallets will not even open on some clients. This is getting really messy.

Can we not just have 1 new wallet that does it all, with some gusto please.

Hey all,

I am working to get http://www.datacoininfo.org/ up to date.

I'll review what I can and look for any dead links, if you think of anything I need to update drop me a message.

Thanks


Maybe reach at to coinmarketcap and ask if they can point to the correct site?


Good idea! http://datacoin.info was the original site but it hasn't been updated in years.

Every relevant action
I see what you inadvertently did there, you introduced a magical "relevance" gatekeeper module. So you're not envisaging a decentralised solution and believe the future of science publishing lies in corporate-controlled permissioned chains? Or "databases" as they are also known.

Otherwise, if you can drop the "relevance" qualifier, find someone prepared to foot the biil for all that storage, then Bob's your free-for-all, must-publish-any-old-dross-or-lose-my-tenure uncle.

Every relevant action in the publishing process such as paper submission and peer reviews will be registered in the blockchain and accessible to anyone, making #science more transparent, universal and open than ever before.

WTF are you talking about? Science doesn't need blockchain

Think you underestimate what a giant leap blockchain is...

Me just quietly reading here. I confess I hold no DTC, but have an interest in some very similar use-cases.

Hi Everyone!

We've been maintaining the Datacoin testnet, and will keep doing so!
We also keep GPUs on reserve if the mainnet ever needs defending, right now we are letting others mine it so they can fill their bags! lol

We're in this for the long haul.
We will help with infrastructure building.

Decentralized data is key for the world, and Datacoin is a great simple option for everyone.
Soon more will get it. In the meantime, we'll keep the light on!

If anyone wants testnet coin or mainnet coin, just let me know!!
(note the testnet may need tweaking, i'm the only one mining it, and it only confirms about every 5 minutes at best, not the 1 minute it should --- but it works! Test Away!!)

Kind Regards,
DataSea and the HugPuddle team


Hmmm ...

We might be able to help in certain ways, especially in the form of mining and backend support. All that would be needed is a GPU miner source that ACTUALLY compiles in Fedora 27 x64, or at least help in resolving any compilation issues that do arise from this bleeding edge OS.

If s a few URL's are available to look at so we can have a go at compiling the miners, that would be helpful. The wallets needs to be Compiled in both Fedora 28 x64 and CentOS 7 x64, so these will be given a go also.

Setting up pools in general is not an easy task either, no matter how some people shrug it off as being a simple thing. The setup is only the very first and smallest step. The maintenance, the servicing, the repair, the security, and ultimately the cost (both financial and time wise) is a massive undertaking, only then to have to develop certain aspects of the pool for such a complex system such as Prime Mining. Graham hit that point fist first and on the nose.

When time and money permits, we will definitely look into this further. For the time being, we are happy to mine if we can get the miners compiled and running.

I've always loved your outlook on DTC and its usefulness.
I'm in a bit of a tight spot concerning time right now and will be occupied for some time, but in the long run I'd also like to contribute and/or find more applications for DTC  Grin

So site was compromised ?

Just great. I didn't think, that anybody would want to hack site with such low volume coin. Seems people in crypto are now desperate to get anything LOL :O

Yes it was, however, it was not the dice script that was compromised. The VESTA control panel that was used to manage the site was compromised. The intruders then kept sending emails to blackmail me as a distraction while they actually where using the server to send out spam emails. I think they cared less about the DTC that was available on the server.

Everyone else that made withdrawals received their coins; the same with Agent009 that made two withdrawals in two transactions 999.05 and 0.95 to the same address.

I will take down the site when the last player withdraw their 10.6654 DTC

Tnx
