Nice 20000k buy wall @ 0.00025 on cex.

So I was mining no problems one wallet (2) rigs.  I downloaded the new wallet.  Swapped it with my current.  left everything else the same spreadcoin.conf and wallet.dat.  I encrypted my wallet as I realized I hadn't done so on my SPR.  I rebooted the machine with the wallet and went to start the miners.  No luck.  So i switched to the mining tab and it asked me to enter my pass phrase.  When i did the CPU started mining and my GPU miners turned on at around 29 kh/s each.  Am I doing something wrong?
This is a known limitation that you can mine only with unlocked wallet.
You have several options:
1. Use not encrypted wallet.
2. Unlock your wallet from debug console using "walletpassphrase password timeout" where timeout is the number of seconds your wallet will be unlocked.
3. Unlock your wallet by starting CPU mining, as you see it decreases your GPU hashrate; if you will try to mine with 1 thread maybe it will not decrease. There should be a cleaner way to unlock your wallet from GUI but for now there is none.
4. Set private key for mining in spreadcoin.conf as described in OP:
Quote
1. Use existing or better generate a new address.
2. Open debug console (Tools -> Debug Console) and enter:
Quote
dumpprivkey SYourSpreadCoinAddress
3. You will get your private key. Then open spreadcoin.conf or create it if it doesn't exist (D:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\SpreadCoin\spreadcoin.conf on Windows) and add the following line:
Quote
miningprivkey=YourPrivateKey
4. Restart your wallet if it was running.
In the Mining tab you will now see notification that all mined coins will go to this address.

OK - Thank you for that help - i realize now it is the encrypting of the wallet that was stopping me from mining.  That's weird.  Anyway I am downloading another wallet to get rid of the encryption.  Thanks a bunch

Ok - I must be missing something.  i went from 15 mh/s on my (10) 750ti's down to 29 kh/s on each?  What is the exact process for mining with GPU's now?
Hashrate just dropped? Are you sure you didn't changed anything?

All I did was download the new wallet and try to start my miners - no luck.  I did encrypt my wallet but that shouldn't be an issue for mining right?
This is very strange. So you have changed two things - updated to the new version and encrypted your wallet, or you already were mining with encrypted wallet?
If your wallet is encrypted it must be unlocked for mining (or you need to set miningprivkey in spreadcoin.conf). But miner shouldn't launch if wallet is encrypted and locked.

Hrmm - ok - maybe I need a step by step.

Can you mine to a wallet that has been encrypted?

If MN,darksend and especially GUI muliti-sig are integrated into Spread wallet,SPR is undoubtly to be on the list of TOP 10 maket cap.
btw: so many proposals in this thread,a roadmap should be sorted out now.

Really?

You know darksend and instant tx relies on a diverse and distributed community securing the network and putting in the effort to keep master nodes up and updated?

thelonecrouton has also argued (from memory, I'm sure he will correct me) that mining is less important than master nodes, so while solo mining is very attractive and closer to what Satoshi intended, solo mining can be viewed with indifference by some.

To beat DRK, with an effective DRK clone, the best approach would be to advertise SPR as a re-run of DRK for those that missed the launch of DRK.  Then climbing the mountain to beat DRK is a little less challenging. The lack of liquidity will remain the issue to moving this project forward in the short-term as Master Nodes are built around proof of service which requires coins.

Then there is the SPR code. Anything of potential value to SPR and DRK can be used by DRK.

Sadly, as you've posted this, I think I'm talking myself out of SPR. Maybe that's the second bottle of Saint-Joseph talking. Let's see what view sobriety brings tomorrow.
You may forget that DRK is 7 months older than SPR.we'll see what's going to happen in the next 7 months.
plus,you may forget what happened in the first weeks after drk launched as well. Grin

Kindly avoid the wallet download links from the thread.
Better download directly from the website itself.
These links are the same as on the website

Hacker could edit your links when quoting somewhere. I will delete my previous post and its better you mention everyone to download from the site directly.
Good point. Although you don't need to be a hacker to edit quoted posts  Smiley

1. Masternodes are very easy to set up and almost effortless to administer.

2. Solo mining is actually useful, and should IMO be rewarded more highly than the eventual 70/30 split with DRK. 50/50 would be fine with me.

3. I'm happy to see quiet, steady technical progress without all the chart chasing. "No liquidity" = "I can't buy as cheaply as I want to."

4. Developmental synergy is a good thing and beneficial to both currencies.

5. You're too smart not to buy into this. Grin

New version
  • Synchronization is now faster (only up to the lastest checkpoint for now)
  • No need to create and edit spreadcoin.conf to mine with GPU
  • Button "backup your wallet" was added to the overview form (as was suggested by thelonecrouton).
  • Monteserrat font is now used for splash screen and for logo in about dialog (as was suggested by LitcoinCollector)

Other changes are less user visible:
  • 40 seed nodes instead of just 1
  • Total money supply is now returned by getinfo (someone requested this)
  • New checkpoint

Download (version 0.9.15.2)
spreadcoin.net

Mining without spreadcoin.conf
Now you don't need to create spreadcoin.conf to start mining, just run the miner on the same computer with any username and password.
How this works?
If there is no "server", "rpcuser" and "rpcpassword" parameters then RPC server is started in a limited mode where only connections from local computer are accepted, only commands related to mining are allowed and username and password are not required.
I will also make new versions of miners which will by default point to the local machine with correct port, right now you need to set wallet address, i.e. "-o http://127.0.0.1:41677" for AMD miner.
