Topic: [ANN] NDL - The coin for Pastafarians - Flying Spaghetti Monster Cryptocurrency! - page 34. (Read 125333 times)

Wait a minute and I'll get a node going, hadn't ran it since May.

I just opened my NDL wallet, and no nodes to connect to, 8(

It's definitely a good starting point.
I would remove the donation link for now. (We all get to work for free, for now.)

I would think that it would be best if everyone working on it / discussing it did it here.

Some things we can do in PM, but for the most part make it full public here of who is doing what and when. This way nobody can come back and say Dave did this or Chicago did that or someone else did the other thing. It's all out and in public, and if nobody says anything, and it gets done in a way they they don't like then it's on them for not participating.

Also, as I said before given a few days time I can provide the hosting. I just need to spin up a VM or 2.

If you got it working just once you are ahead of me.
I followed the step by step build. (actually found a youtube of it) Once it was running I went to 127.0.0.1 page (yes I built it on a machine with a gui) and as soon as I got there the MySQL daemon threw an error and died.
I wiped the DB and redid it, same thing.

Figuring that I because had put in an older version  MySQL for compatibility reasons and that was the issue on a new OS I went to Postgre and that although not causing an error it just did nothing.

Pulled out both db and started fresh with the latest version of MySQL again and the latest version of Python everything fully up to date and then for some reason I could not get the coin daemon to run. It had been fine up until then. So some update that got installed during the 5.7.17 MySQL update or the latest Python update was causing an already compiled app not to run.

So I started to roll back packages 1 or 2 at a time, I did a reboot every time. Somewhere along the way, bam, reboot loop. So I walked away from it "for a few days" That was over a month ago...

I was thinking v13.2 for a few reasons.

1) It shows we are up to date using up to date tools / code not just pulling off another old clone. There is NOTHING wrong with cloning old coins and some of the ones that popped up over the years have been good and caught on. As a mostly hardware guy I just feel if you run the latest code things are better, there are more current discussions of issues and it's easier to move forward to implement other newer ideas. [The sound of 1000's of screaming programmers are heard in the background]

Guys, we really don't need this Making crypto more absurd than it already is will not benefit anybody. You are just wasting your time.

Hi DaveF,

    How far did you get with the Abe installation before nuking the test box?
    I'm up to the point where I have fcgid installed and am trying to make Abe work through mod_fcgid so I don't have to call http://example.com:2750 to see the chain.
    The problem I'm running into is with Apache v2.4 and trying to avoid mod_cgi or ScriptAlias from getting in the way of the Abe script being executed with mod_fcgid using a handler for the Abe script.  I'm pretty sure I had it right "just once" and then went to test another change in the configuration and then never had it working again and always coming up with a 500 even though permissions on the filesystem were seemingly good.

    I figured once I had Abe going at its best then I'd take a look at the Insight block explorer too.

Hi DaveF,

    Noodlyappendagecoin is "not too old" considering there are plenty of much earlier v6.3 clones out there.
    Though for the users who do not compile on their own, an updated wallet linked against the latest openssl wouldn't be bad.
    There are probably easily updated Qt and boost dependencies which could be incorporated into an updated build too.

    Are you thinking about updating Noodlyappendagecoin w/ something close to the v8.7.5 Litecoin sources or more interested in the v13.2.1 Litecoin update?

    For what its worth, the build process w/ the v8 Litecoin clones is difficult using Gitian because the recipes are based on Ubuntu Lucid containers and Lucid went end-of-life.
    I was looking at the workflow this past weekend for using the Gitian recipes from back when our version of code was more current and there are lots of little work-arounds to do just to accommodate Lucid going end of life.   The other thing about the build recipes for the v8 clones are the much earlier OS X SDK which had been employed.

    The Gitian recipes in v13.2.1 use a relatively more modern SDK for the OS X build and have proven to be really reliable.

    The only problem is the recipes from the newer builds aren't exactly compatible w/ our v8 Noodlyappendagecoin code because Bitcoin switched to Autotools w/ builds after v8.

    What are your thoughts on where the code should be updated?

I can do this, or make it clear, without left bar. . . I almost dare it can be to the taste of the community. First let's remove old mining causes alert and another shit.....(a couple of days ago did not give much warning, only bitcoinminer, but it seems that others join today )

Let's work on this first, after It is very possible to make mandatory need an update version. . . This can leave offline to nodes that are not updated. . . . .

Oh!!  flying spaguetti monster creator(FSM), show us the way!!...

I have been working on a plan to see if we can bring this coin back to life.

A plan (Well not much of one but a plan)

1) Start work on the website / working block explorer. (.net / . info domains that I bought last year)

2) Release wallet with based on updated code

3) See if anyone mines / difficulty spikes.

4) Possible wallet changes (POS / different algo / whatever)

6)
.
7) Yes, YoBit sucks and $300 (give or take) to get it on an exchange is a lot but it's a start if people actually seem to be interested. We can pool some funds together.

7a) If we are going to go on an exhange I pubically burn the 1,000,000,000 coins that I have.



I'm open to suggestions if anyone else has any ideas. It's probably going to be slow going as it's a free time project and I really don't have any free time. It's been over a month since I nuked my test box try to get a block explorer working and I have not even had time to re-image it.

-Dave

Feels like I'm talking to myself here....
But I borked my test server so badly trying to get abe to work that I actually got Debian stuck in a reboot loop.
When I screw things up I go all the way. 

If anyone else wants to give it a shot let me know, if not I'm backing off for a bit to clear my head.

-Dave

I have been trying to get an ABE block explorer for NDL working all morning.
It's not going well. Does anyone have any experience with ABE or another explorer?

Also, DANG the difficulty spiked up yesterday.

Thanks,
Dave

I could probably do one or 2 of the nodes on some RPis that I have (or some old windows boxes).
I really don't think they are going to need more then that.
-Dave

Hi Dave,

    I don't anticipate hosting as a large problem.
    There will be more resources used for hosting new seed nodes than there would be for a community website.

Best Regards,

Does anyone have anyplace to host the sites / files?
-Dave

Hello DaveF, layer1gfx,

    I'm still in and have been mining on and off for the past month.
    Also, I am hoping to learn whether Haggis still maintains the collection of submissions from the logo contest.

    The codebase for this coin isn't too far off whatsoever from its Litecoin upstream and I may end up sharing an updated client with the community.
    So far I was able to update Noodlyappendagecoin to a v0.8.7.5 Litecoin base but before "being done" I want to freshen everything up with entries from the logo contest and also make Gitian building work for us.

    If anybody is interested in seeing the work-in-progress client, just send me a PM.  Its available as source code only right now - no Windows / OS X builds will be provided until later.

Best Regards,
-Chicago

Well as I said above I have the .net and .info domains.
I will let the community use them if someone wants to setup a page about it.
-Dave

i know this coin is old but anyway anyone here interested to keep it going? i like the ramen brothers community too much to let this coin die...

it might be my imagination but it almost seems as if it doesnt bother to update new chain blocks until or if someone connects to it, then it runs away madly catching up before responding to the web user request.

so, more frequent access would make for less delay?
who knows...
probably my imagination. but it does seem to eventually answer a web request if you are patient enough.

probably 'other', ABE itself or the SQL server perhaps. i've not had time or brain energy to look into it. i work a summer seasonal job 6 days a week. winter months are my play with the computer months. i've done an ABE --rescan and it made no difference.


and


and according to my notes i had done this:


i run the explorer under the ndl login user that is running the noodlydaemon
