Topic: [ANN] [PPC] PPCoin Released! - First Long-Term Energy-Efficient Crypto-Currency - page 133. (Read 685176 times)

I think the idea of proof-of-stake is quite interesting...

I've read the paper on the website, but didn't have time to check the source code, yet. I do have some questions about thing the paper doesn't explain:

• Exactly what is used as input in a coinstake transaction? My best interpretation would be that all outputs in your wallet are included, such that the correct coin-age can be computed. Wouldn't this effectively kill privacy as it links all your outputs together?
• Will proof-of-stake result in the richest people having to say the most? Exactly what decision could they force by using their PPC-wealth?
• Is it possible to keep PPCoins laying around for a long time, just to build up coin-age and use this to force some decision onto the network at a later time?
• What outputs can be used in the coinstake? Must those output be consumed already or must they still be available?

As I said, I didn't have time to check the source code, so some questions may be answered that way. However, I'd like to hear your view on the questions I posed.

In any way, I think you're doing some good work in creating an implementation to start trying new ideas!

i sent 0.01
question: fee is mandatory? can't be selectable like BTC?

btw: i like your nick, i should change mine to oPPai  :p

i'm getting a lot of messages like this:

******* exception encountered *******
ProcessMessages(tx, 798 bytes) : Exception 'CDataStream::read() : end of data' caught, normally caused by a message being shorter than its stated length

in %APPDATA%\Roaming\PPCoin\debug.log

i dont know what it means or if it is importand..., miners are working correctly (at least, so it seems)

Someone want to send any amount of PPC to my address to make sure its working please? (Even .01)

ive installed it on 2 computers, now i thought it was smart to connect one miner to the other computer like this

bitcoin-miner-64.exe -t 4 -o http://ppcoinrpc:[email protected]:9902
but it says:
HTTP 403: Forbidden
HTTP 403: Forbidden
0 kHash/s          4 CPU threads

when i use:
bitcoin-miner-64.exe -t 4 -o http://ppcoinrpc:[email protected]:9902

it does work

Using CPU (4 threads)
12.92 MHash/s      4 CPU threads

i've added these lines in ppcoin.conf:
rpcallowip = 127.0.0.1
rpcallowip = 192.168.0.102

is that correct way to add more ips?  something seems to be wrong, anyone knows how to connect one computer miner to the ppcoind server that is running on the other?  


edit: i guess i have to setup ssl like this https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Enabling_SSL_on_original_client_daemon 

but havent been able to do this... because i'm on windows... , tried connecting to NothinG's pool, also does not work (same connection problems) ...

Is there an exchange up already?

Current difficulty is 3886, approx 1266 coins per block

So I saw people buying PPCoin's at 0.001 or something, what is the current profitability estimate? What is the current difficulty?

I'm looking into this now thank you for joining

Just signed up to the forum, but I get "You are not allowed to post new content in the forum."

I'm going to try with sendtoaddress and see how that works for now. After it gets to the point where people are withdrawing a lot and causing transaction fees to skyrocket, I'll start working on a script that does a sendmany. Currently, it's setup that the user sets aside 1 PPC in their account to handle their transaction (done automatically). I can set it up as a percentage donation, they will be listed in the sendmany letting the pool (from donations) pay for the transaction. I'm not really sure how that will work, but it at least helps me figure out where to spend donations.

I'll start logging all the data soon. I've still got a lot more work with the script to detect new blocks, as well as a script that will convert the ppcoind to database for my transactions. I'm getting to the point where transactions are going to be hard to read after ~100. Stack that with the average amount of people on the site at once, and you've got yourself a hell of a server load. Anyways, I'll send as much information as I can to the users (with their API key) letting them decide how they want to make their own graphs.


In these transactions:
1-I've sent myself (from the pool, to my home wallet) 6482.75326 PPC.
2-The pool received the transaction from (3'd TXID).
3-Shows the pool sending 1 PPC to the pool's wallet.

Looks like each transaction cost 0.01 PPC.

[Edit]: Looks like 6482.75326 PPC showed up in my home wallet after 2 confirmations.

Would it be possible to add within the next few release a method to determine the price of the transaction?
