Just wondering if there's any update/success on tracking down the instability issues (getting hung on a block seems to be the most common, I have seen it once with the new client as well)

JD, I'm focused on making sure the fork is successful right now. I think the next approach I'll take with the block hanging issue will be to update to the latest core Bitcoin code to see if that helps, but it'll be after the fork at the earliest.

What is the calculation for the time to find a block from the current difficulty and the hash per second please ?

Someone posted a formula for this - I think in this thread. Let us all know if it seems to be accurate based on your experiences.

Well, I mined one block successfully yesterday, then my client forked again. There's another 7 orphans... I may be done mining this coin since my client can't stay connected to the current block chain.

What OS are you using? And are you downloading or compiling your own client?

You might find opening port 8555 keeps you better connected - that might reduce problems, but I'm not sure what's going on with your client yet.

Something odd since switching to the new client: My hashespersec has dropped quite a bit. From 12-13 to 8-9. Looking at core utilization, core 2 is never used more than ~30%. The other cores seem to average around 70%.

MemoryCoin only uses half of available cores by default now - you can explicitly set the number of cores using

setgenerate true

The rationale is that the MC client is being designed for ease of use - so we don't want newbies machines grinding to a halt when they start using it. For more advanced users, they can set the number of cores explicitly.



Thanks. Makes sense, though even with all cores pegged on my PC, I don't have any usability concerns. I'm just used to the -1 meaning all cores. Smiley

Hmm - give these IPs a try -

"addr" : "192.241.163.164:8555",
"addr" : "110.190.247.14:8555",
"addr" : "178.33.191.150:8555",
"addr" : "79.113.223.83:8555",
"addr" : "182.130.181.127:8555",

Thanks. Got a connection out of those.

I still had connections to other peers while I was forked, but I don't see any evidence of my debug log of anyone else generating blocks but me. 9/2 06:54 (CST) was my last accepted block, first orphan on 9/3 06:32. FYI.

So now my client is hung on block 6439. Guess I will restart again.

EDIT: Still stuck on 6439, but now getting an orange banner on QT: "Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade." Nice. Smiley Time to delete blockchain I suppose.

Downloaded new client, found that I've been mining on a fork for the past 3 days... Grrr....

Can't get any peers with the new client. I used the addnodes from post 1, which had worked before, but no connections showing up any more.

Hi,

I cannot open the linux build. The xz archive won't decompress on linux.
On windows, with 7zip, there is no name on any file.

Can someone upload a normal archive please ?

Or just describe me the content of the archive so I can put name and format on all files ?

Thanks

EDIT : work great on windows but still can't open the archive on linux. Can someone create a zip file for me ?


Forget it, I found a solution :

 a)     git clone https://github.com/memorycoin/memorycoin.git
     b)     cd memorycoin
     c)     sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \
             libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \
             libssl-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev libjpeg62
     d)     qmake
     e)     make

Ok there's hard fork on block 8710. That's 1 week from now, and should give everybody enough time to get the updated code.

I've uploaded a new client here -
http://memorycoin.org/downloads/memorycoin-qt-latest.zip

and Github is updated with the new source.

From block 8710 onwards, only 1 large grant rather than 5 small ones will be awarded in the block chain. This change has been made to ensure that awards are only made to grants that enjoy broad community support. The total amount of awards won't change so the inflation rate will remain unaffected.

Come on Quantplus,

the thing that is interesting with this coin is the voting system.
If you want to mine a clone coin with no innovation, there is plenty out there.

The fact that FreeTrade get one of the 5 grant is perfectly normal since he didn't premine.
But yet we can chose at any-time to remove this grant from him.
And that's what happened once already, and he has the right to whine about it.

This is far better than premine, because he can't dump it all at once, and he need to keep on with the support of the coin, otherwise we can remove the grant from him.

As far as the market, I think FT is not the kind of vocal man, who shout everywhere to promote the coin, and it's ok since he is a developer, not a salesman or public relation.
So what memorycoin lack is some kind of promotion.
And I guess as a collective we have to take that in charge.

So if you want more byers, then move your ass and promote the coin !

Well, there's a irony about cpu-only coins...and more so when it's designed to hit L2 memory.  The cpu is an 'all-purpose' chip, and yet, when the MemoryCoin client is run on a personal computer in a household, the computer becomes basically paralyzed.  Performance degrades a lot when constantly accessing L2 memory and cpu resource usage is at 100%.  So you want to promote this, but to who?  And for what?  To paralyze your personal computer and not allow you to do anything else?  No, unfortunately, cpu-only coins are botnet canon fodder until they are no longer profitable.  And so far, the price action of cpu-only coins depicts this to be the case.

You are contradicting yourself, because if the client where to paralyse your system, then the botnet couldn't use it, since if an infected computer is paralysed, the user just reformat and reinstall the OS. So botnet have to be stealth and not consuming all the cpu of it's minion.

If you want to work at the same time, just set the priority of the mining process low.

While getting my graduate degree in Mathematics, the main thing that was constantly pounded into my head by professors was don't try to 'reinvent the wheel'.  In other words, just use the work of someone else who worked on the problem before me and try to add to it.  In the art world, Picasso says something similar, "Good artists copy.  Great artists steal." 

I don't see where you are going there ?
But what your teacher has failed to tell you yet, is that once you have stooped studying and if you what to become a great mathematician, you will have to find your own way.


Every development project starts somewhere.  And in time, the successful projects add to their origins and evolve.

Sure, but mostly in computer development, if you want to make a big step ahead, you have to "trash everything and start from a clean well thought state" (with the knowledge you have acquired with the previous version).

today's value on BTER is ~16000 MEG
It's more than 10% of all current supply
So things are not that bad.
Once again, the priority would be the pool and a better exchange than making voting system better:)

The market is working...
But volume is deceptive because price crashed 75% from 0.0004 to 0.0001...
And Q+ was not responsible for the Crash...
It was a buggy Client... and all the bullshit with the 20% Mining Tax = Grant System...
Even bter has told me they are having problems with Client and network.

Stas, ask yourself a serious question:

Do you really expect the idiot who designed the current "Voting System"...
And buried it as cryptic text in the "debug.log" file...
While creative people are building fabulous $10 million BTC Casinos...
To "make it better" after > one month of not making it "better"?

It's nothing more than a Smokescreen for grabbing 20% of the Coins.

I don't know why you are seeing all in such a negative and an incorrect way.
You keep saying that he is getting 20%, but he is not. You are wrong here, that's a fact. look at the voting longs there is a proof.
he gets something. and if you ask me it's not a lot, considering the fact that he is working constantly on improving the client and the whole concept + he does spend the money he gets on bounties.
So i do not agree with you completely.

Have You actually used Memory Coin client?
Because it runs on my PC at work and does not disturb to work I do during the usual working day.
Especially the latest client which only uses half of the PC's power.
