Yes, the amounts are cumulative.

So if you send
5 satoshis to A
and 10 to B,
then another 7 to A

B will have 10 and be pref 1
A will have 12 and be pref 2

Worked example here -

I'm using a linux deamon (http://dls.21stcenturymoneytalk.org/dls/memorycoin/memorycoind-linux-x64.xz) to mine. Since today I get this message:

memorycoind getmininginfo

...
error: {"code":-2,"message":"Safe mode: Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need
to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade."}
...

Is there a new linux command line binary?

When I am sending a smaller amount of satoshis to the Grant address to get its preference higher than it was before, the amount is just added to the previous one instead of to reset it with a new amount.

Damn, I jinxed it
By sending payments to the grant addresses I managed to get the miner stuck on the current block. I will E-mail you the debug file now.
I must note that it was mining at full power when making the payments so maybe it's a good idea to stop the mining when sending payments.
I will restart the miner after sending the debug file and check if the payments for the votes were processed or not.

Sure, no problem.
Votes have been added.

I'm glad it has been helpful for you. Now might be a good time to ask you to offer some voting support to community projects. As far as I can see, you have about 18,000 coins which are supporting your grant, MVTEoEoHX4XhRkJnkGVLKDYhHG4MbJDVCT, but the surplus, about 5000 are being wasted because your other grants don't have enough support.

You can add preferences in 4,5,6,7 positions - these don't harm the prospects of your higher preferences, but when your higher preferences are elected or eliminated, the surplus can flow to community grants rather than being wasted as they are at present. Community grants help to increase the value of your holdings. It's both the generous and rational thing to do.

Here's MCF's recommended preferences - you'll need to amend the amounts to control where they appear on your list of prefs -

Hi FreeTrade,

Sorry for scaring you there, but it seems as if that was a one time problem that probably occured because I restarted the new version too soon after closing the old miner.
I'm happy to report that after a restart both the 6-core and 4-core machine survived the night and are still running
Looks like you finally nailed it. Great job.

The MemoryCoin Foundation has been doing some great work, running the logo competition with a $100 prize, and putting up a $100 bounty for the first pool.

Thanks for your support so far, but MCF is nearly out of funds. We've got one grant address that is well supported, but new funds are slow to come in.

If you have spare votes, and would like to offer support to MCF, I've added two grant addressed for MCF - please add these two addresses to your voting preferences -

MVTEoEotER3e9NfAMPi1c1E68h5bthH4K4
MVTEoEoPjXcay3aJU1uZCsipX7pf9xryW4

The more grants MCF gets, the more it can help to support the coin and increase its value.

any nodes please
edit:
"receive version message: version 70001, blocks=4939, us=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx, them=24.6.21.198:8555, peer=24.6.21.198:8555"
One of the orginal nodes seemed to get to life.
nodes are prolly mining thus using all cpu?

hehe, I've prolly been with the linux too much, I actually never had a QT before the powercoin venture. In Windows its logical, but in linux its much simpler if the files used are in one place (rather than the root of the program)

btw: is any of the addnodes online, cos I dont seem to get connection, also dnsseeds fail
why didnt you just use the irc to get nodes.........

You'll want the real file -
https://github.com/memorycoin/memorycoin/blob/fasterstarup/grantdb1540.dat

It's in the root - where would a better location be so the exe will find it the first time it runs?

Also you'll want the trustedhashlookup.txt file in the same directory so the software will sync faster.

btw fresh cloned from github, compiled in linux. gives an error:
"Error: grantdb1540.dat file not found"
(easy fix, 'touch "Error: grantdb1540.dat file not found"')
but the error isnt quite comprehesive nor easy to fix, if you cant read the source. it would maybe be better if the file would reside inthe .memorycoin/ directory

After a restart it is running for 25 blocks now. Knock on wood
IF it gets stuck again I will send you the debug log.

EDIT: Running stable now for more than 40 blocks. The first bug may have been because I started the new client immediately after I closed the old one. I will keep an eye on it but so far so good.

Oh dear. Anybody else still seeing a similar issue?

It'll be helpful if you send your full debug.log file to [email protected] following it getting stuck for further.

Thanks.

Thanks for the new version.
Unfortunately I have to report that it still gets stuck on blocks. My 6-core only took 1 block te get stuck
As I mentioned before, it seems as if the problems get less when the difficulty rises. It can be a coincidence but I'm keeping an eye on this and I'm getting more convinced this is actually the case.

New version -

http://memorycoin.org/downloads/memorycoin-qt-26-08-2013.zip

Some stability improvements -
1. This waits for the blockchain to sync before starting to mine.
2. It requires the grantdb1560.dat file. I think some users are running it without this file and having problems, so its required from the outset.

Mining
1. Batch files auto start mining but mining waits for sync now
2. Only half logical processors are used unless specified otherwise - this is to stop new users systems from grinding to a halt.

Reports
Better debug voting report - it shows what top votes supported, and where support came from - should be helpful to Mr Wax's Capital Appreciation fund . . . .

FreeTrade, You are back to list of grant winners

No - there's about 20 or 30 vying for votes at the moment. And you can create your own voting address - see the topic -
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/memorycoin-how-to-game-the-voting-to-get-free-coins-268774

(You might be a bit late for this though)

Yeah, it's a little bit tricky to set up voting from a voting address, but you make a fair point . . . we shouldn't be seeking votes if we don't have our own voting rights used up I'll take steps.

I think a GPU will help with speeding up the small memory hashes . . and maybe the medium memory hashes too, but if you've got all the threads looking for memory access continually, you're going to have a bottleneck on the memory bus.
