Hello World!
I see. Well I have to past on this crypto coin investissement. "Limite peer" mindset, "much limited files size" and up to you, equal no users adoption in my book. Good luck to you all.

Not sure to understand you, did you mean faster blockchain at 128kb

What I mean is -- when you broadcast a transaction with 128KiB of data within it you will want the TX distributed through the network so it can easily be included by miners in the next block.
A limit of 128KiB makes it possible for even the most limited peers to be able to verify and relay the transaction in a relatively short period of time.

big file are writen on multi TX ?

The "how to" is up to you. Think of it like splitting a file into multiple chunks where part 1of8 is in one transaction and part 2of8 is in another transaction.
In this way you are able to spread a large upload across multiple transactions.

If you're familiar with Usenet and the alt.binaries newsgroups, it would be similar to seeing a nice large upload split across dozens of posts.

I try to see what purpose this coin can fill. Seem very limited at 128kb

The data transport mechanics are up to you.
If you want to send a megabyte in 8 parts, then you segment the payload into 128KiB sized pieces and write it to the chain.
After it has been enscribed, then the chunks may be re-assembled into their more useful format.

Small TX limits are helpful to promote swift propagation throughout the network.

Hello World!
Can the storage of 128kb be updated to a higher level like 1024kb or 2048kb ?

I downloaded the wallet, but unable to mine with it.
The wallet is closing, Ryzen 1600
Wallet not full synchronized yet.

What you peoples using to mine.

I have be able to mine with the GPU and the pool.
Can't mine if wallet not synced.

You omitted to say what OS and GPU card you're using.

eXtremal's xpmminer works with dtc.graymines.net https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.57002698

But it very complicated, many broked/dead link,
Not updated.

This projet is still moving foward?

Happily mining away.

Network difficulty at 8.84.  I solved my first block for a reward of 12.76DTC.

I want to see if I configure a Javascript program correctly and store it in the Datacoin blockchain if I will be able to run it in my browser off the Datacoin blockchain.

New Datacoin release:

https://github.com/datacoinproject/datacoin/releases

Thank you Mr Higgins!
Slightly jumping the gun there, I wasn't ready to announce the release.

Users of Windows and OSX 0.8 clients should back up their wallets and save a copy of the datadir directory before attempting an upgrade. The new 0.16.3 client won't load 0.8 wallets, you'll need to import your privkeys by hand. Edit: okay, it does successfully load 0.8 wallets but still do the backup, anyway (always backup the datadir before attempting to upgrade the client). I'm still testing whether the Crossverse 0.15.99 wallets will load. Edit: Meh, had to abandon that, won't compile under 18.04 and just not worth the effort to fix, if the 0.16.3 client can load 0.8 wallets it should also load 0.15.99 wallets okay.

(I have to run the 0.8 and the 0.15.99 wallets on an Ubuntu 18.04 VM because neither can be successfully compiled on contemporary Linux distros due to issues with non-backward compatibility of support libraries).

I dont understand the bytest explorer at all, i like the chainz.cryptoid.info one where i can check block height, and check peers....


Edit: Ah, yes there is: https://www2.bytestamp.net/blocks/index but it doesn't provide the list of recently-seen nodes that the chainz explorer used to.


Peers support added.

Here it is:

https://www.bytestamp.net/peers

Or, you can select DataCoin Block Explorer and then select Peers

in the last couple of weeks i have lots about 30,000 DTC in various transfers...

Status: 0/unconfirmed
You may well not have lost the coins if the transactions haven't been broadcast and confirmed.

Backup your wallet, then close the client and restart it with the options -rescan -zapwallettxes=2

i like the chainz.cryptoid.info one where i can check block height, and check peers....
No-one renewed the subscription, so they removed the service.

Cheers

Graham


Hi Graham,

Thanks for the assist.
Took this long to rescan / resync, but the missing coins are sorted.

Thankyou

I thought ownership was a matter of signing a transaction with the Datacoin client, which should be possible in 0.16.
It can be interpreted as such but there's no software support enforcing it (i.e. you can sign any tx but to what effect?) The semantics of the interpretation remains a purely social understanding. Signing a tx doesn't have any inherent meaning as far as the client is concerned.


I would remember that you can already take the ownership of an asset on Datacoin blockchain with ByteStamp Digital Assets.

Here is the tutorial:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqu0syu9Qtc

and here you can download the windows app:

https://blockchain.bytestamp.net

When you take the ownership of an asset, it writes to blockchain the ByteStampMD5 of the file and the sign of the Address that becomes the owner.

And when the owner transfers an asset to another address, it writes in blockchain that the previous owner has transferred the ownership to another address.

Anybody can read in the Datacoin blockchain that the transfer of the asset was signed by the address that was the previous owner.

Each ByteStamp Digital Asset transaction has an hash that is inserted in the next one transaction, thus creating another blockchain of digital assets that relies on Datacoin blockchain.

All the process is open and verifiable by third parties.

For example, you can read the transaction id 76fbe121399d0b2fd62ee151d7bba079400b0d246fe8cb219407778600689c79

(https://www2.bytestamp.net/blocks/qtx/it/76fbe121399d0b2fd62ee151d7bba079400b0d246fe8cb219407778600689c79)

that transfer an asset from a Datacoin Address to a Bitcoin Address (yes, we can transfer across different wallets types  Wink)

In this way you can transfer each type of file (music, image, video, spreadsheet,...) as like as you transfer bitcoins or datacoins, because each file can become a crypto asset.

Apertus is no longer under active development, so I suppose it would be fine to interpret .js files, so that they could be run straight off the blockchain.
That might work. What do you have in mind?

I thought ownership was a matter of signing a transaction with the Datacoin client, which should be possible in 0.16.
It can be interpreted as such but there's no software support enforcing it (i.e. you can sign any tx but to what effect?) The semantics of the interpretation remains a purely social understanding. Signing a tx doesn't have any inherent meaning as far as the client is concerned.

I've had a go at fixing up the 0.16.3 client so that the GUI allows users to create pure OP_RETURN (0-valued) txs. So you can put 0.00 for the value of notarizations (of hashed resources) or TrustyURI inscriptions (“Verifiable, Immutable, and Permanent Digital Artifacts for Linked Data” - I'll write more about them later) - they're not free, they still have a cost - the fee you pay to have the tx included in a mined block and have always been an option - as long as they were specially-crafted and submitted via the creatrawtransaction RPC API call:
Code:
createrawtransaction [{"txid":"id","vout":n},...] {"address":amount,"data":"hex",...} ( locktime ) ( replaceable )

Create a transaction spending the given inputs and creating new outputs.
Outputs can be addresses or data.
The purpose of the GUI additions that I created is to simplify this process, now you can do the same thing from the GUI without having to craft txs by hand.


I'm also looking at the W3's DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) which can be inscribed via the standard Datacoin txdata mechanism  but I suspect users will find some GUI guidance useful.

Cheers
