Topic: [ANN] TagCoin - Multi Token Wallet and Trading Platform - page 35. (Read 301297 times)

@werneo - we tend to not leave much in the hot wallet, but I added some so that you can withdraw. We will keep a closer eye on keeping the hot wallet loaded with enough for smaller withdrawals, but this week we will change the notification given when withdrawing when there is not enough there for immediate payouts, and manage the process manually. We keep TAG in cold wallets, to avoid temptation for hackers...

@knektlife - I already posted an update as to our activities, on this page or previous. Tagcoin is a small part of our entire business and I am sure a lot of people would want to us to accelerate what we are doing to promote TAG so they see their investments grow. However, we see it as a live rewards currency that should be used, not hoarded. The value means little to us - we want to simply allow merchants to use it as a way to reward customers. As the demand grows from merchants, primarily here in the Philippines, then of course the price should go up, but that is not our primary goal. We just want a independent rewards currency for use within our platform. If the community or anyone holding TAG want to see the price rise, then they need to encourage retailers and anyone they know to use it in real life...not just depend on BTC priced linking, idle speculators or Tagcash. Everyone here deals with retailers, coffee shops, businesses every day. Are you suggesting to them that they use Tagcash or TAG as a rewards currency?..Ask yourselves, what are you doing to promote your investment? If you want to see TAG grow, then sign up on Tagcash and get everyone you know to sign up too, get businesses to start using the system and you will see it grow with use. Just sitting there and expecting us to do all the work...well...this is a community. Either use our API to build something that uses TAG, or help us build Tagbond and associated websites. Enough ranting ...:-)

Our primary focus is on Tagcash right now, and within that, the cash wallets that will be used in the Philippines. That should increase awareness of TAG but it will take some time.

I have written in this thred once before without success. I once again want to raise the question of what is going on with tagcoin. I have not mined it or quite a while, but I have some coins put away because I believed in this. A coin that was backt up with a real company that was trying to accomplish great things for the future. I believe yout coin had a great chance of becoming someting, something with real value.

What Iam lookiing for now is an update from the development team. Are you focusing your efforts on other things or does tagcoin still have a priority with you gous? The price is in an awful downward trend, but that is quite logical due to what is happening with the coin.

I just took a look at 3 pools mining tagcoin and here are some examples

http://tag.hashfaster.com 32 found , 5 orphan - 15.63% orphans
botpool.net  3 of latest 30 block are orphans = 10% orphans
cryptominer.net 7 of the latest  100 is rounds orphan   =7%

Im just curious what your next move will be, I do not want to get stuck with a bunch of tagcoins that I mined at a much higher difficulty than what it is now.

So Mark, do you consider these orphan rates "normal" or are you going to take som action to try to change what is happening now? Im not up to speed on all altcoins, but an orphan rate between 10-15% does not look right to me.

Please consider the issues and the consequences they may bring, and do what is right for your business . Business is business, if you lost interest in tagcoin I will not blame you. If you do not want to make an public announcement of your plans (if you have any) i would appreciate an pm.

What do you other people think of the situation? ( I mean peaople with no connection to tagcoin, who is mining or have bought a stack of tagcoins?) Hold, buy sell? I would hate to sell those tags for 50-60 USD pennys, but if nothing happends I dont believe TAG is coming back as a stronger currency.

The floor is open, I would appreciate a response from the tag coin developmnet team, but also opinions and suggestions from other people that holds TAG or is intrested in the subject. Thanks in advance. (I hope I have not stept on anyones toes with my comments,supcicions and wonderings)

Think about it and goodnight!

Regards; knektlife

Hi Mark -

I have ~50 TAG in my Tagbond account. At this time I am unable to withdraw it.

I go to this page:
http://tagbond.com/credit/user#walletTransferModal
... and click TRANSFER

I select WALLET ADDRESS and enter my deposit address here TBvpeYkbv97CSfCdNiWzr4kmd4Z53c84ZK

Then I add the amount I wish to withdraw, and click TRANSFER.

The progress bar starts, but then stalls half way through.

I have tried this repeatedly. All errors.

Can you look into this?

Thanks

Added some basic translation to TagYak.org

If you think any additional languages would be beneficial let me know and I will add them.

Edit: Update: I gave the site a facelift while I was at it.

Yep...

hi, continuous problem with orphans?

Put this in your tagcoin.conf file:


That's not a fix, it just prevents that amount of coins from being put under 'stake'. So, you won't be making any POS blocks (but you also won't be earning 1.5% per year.)

I just downloaded the newest version, now I see a part of my coins under 'stake' instead of under 'balance'.

I know there is a command to fix this, but I can't find it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have a suggestion:

Include code in the client to alert the user if it detects another node claiming to have a higher version number. No need for alerts. The client will just have a little warning (but it should not shut down on its own.)

There is the possibility that some malicious people will release a "fake" client with a higher version number ahead of the official client, and this will cause everyone else that connects to it to get a warning; false alarm.

And oh, devs, coin control?

I got a dozen 270Xs, I should be able to set them up this week. However I don't have enough risers and need to order more.

My first rig doesn't seem stable, one GPU ends up getting sick every other hour or something, so I put the entire rig on a timer. It turns off for 1 minute every 2 hours. Sort of like it hit reset and reboots.

I need to find a way to do this only when the GPU goes SICK or below a certain hashrate, but the closest thing is CGWatcher and that's a Windows .net app. Has anyone managed to make a BAMT compatible equivalent?

I know I can do a cron job to do the same thing as my timer. I need something smarter, something like: If any GPU = sick, then restart, and if any GPU hashes below 400 khs (or whatever value you like) for longer than 60 seconds, then restart.

The R9 270s I use normally hash at least 470 khs, so if they go below 400 it means they are getting sick or overheating or something. A restart cures it.

I'll keep the timer there anyway, nothing beats a true hard reset (it basically unplugs the rig for 1 minute.)

Going with the idea that the issue could be that users are using the incorrect wallet version, I have started to look into what it would take to get this straightened out.  I have found the following post from the spots thread:


Essentially this blocks node connections if the protocol number doesn't match what you set it to.  I've noticed in the Tagcoin code as well that the code in the version.h was changed to allow older versions "for now".  I'm not sure why this would be allowed if the older versions are suspected of being the issue with the orphans.  Shut them out and move on... period.  At least eliminate that variable from the orphan equation.

So I went through and forked the tagcoin code to another github repo, changed the code to only allow versions 1.0.4 and higher, and submitted a pull request.  I know that Mark and the team have the say on this kind of stuff, but I'm taking the connections to my pool in my own hands.  Pool ops, you are more than welcome to use this code if it doesn't get pulled into the main code.  It can be found here:

https://github.com/ny2cafuse/tagcoin

While investigating this, I marked down some IPs that were using the wrong client version.  They went back all the way to 1.0.2.  So yeah, people are dopes and haven't updated.  They are as follows:

162.217.76.228      162.217.76.228.3wave.net
86.15.162.44         cpc23-alde4-2-0-cust43.6-2.cable.virginm.net
91.143.109.221      221-109-143-91.grazkom.at
198.23.230.253      host.colocrossing.com
95.85.33.207         scrypt2.megamultipool.com
24.55.2.13            82-149-230-110.static.aixit.com
82.149.230.110      cpe-24-55-2-13.austin.res.rr.com
96.236.44.79         pool-96-236-44-79.albyny.fios.verizon.net
162.217.76.228      162.217.76.228.3wave.net

If those IPs or DNS host names look familiar, as in they are yours, update your damn client.  Notice the one in red?  That's the megamultipool mining pool.  I have contacted the pool OPs there to update their wallet.

If I came across as brash, I'm sorry, but this is getting old.

I have reopened mining on Tagmining.com.  We'll see how this goes.  After many updates and code changes, I'm pretty sure we'll be running solid.  So:

Tagmining.com is mining again.

@Dabs - POS is not causing any problems, it is working fine. No plans currently on removing it, and no plans yet to introduce yet another forked version just to make sure people upgrade.

@vesperwillow - I update when there is news - we are working on quite a few things, but will post when we have something worth posting about. Here's an update so far.

Something we created recently - http://vskype.com, is a site like preev.com, giving you a quick valuation of TAG (we will add BTC in the next couple of days), against 9 Fiat currencies.

- We have 8 sales people selling the Tagcash platform to merchants.
- miskio.com - ebay/sulit type of site for buying and selling goods, using Tagcash
- vtc.com and eduslide.com, will introduce a nanopayment system, paying for individual lessons.

We have other sites and apps we are building, and partners that are using Tagcash as well.

Yeah, I think POS is causing problems. When you remove it, there will be a fork, because a lot of clients will still not be updated. If everyone just puts


in their tagcoin.conf file, that would effectively do the same thing.

1) As ahmed posted several already, I would add Potcoin and Digibyte to the list. I don't have my list with me at work, but I have noted that with pot and the ones ahmed posted, occasionally there would be a block (or 2) confirmed long ago, suddenly go orphan. The one thing I noticed between all of these coins is that these orphans all occured around the same timeframe as eachother, despite being separate coins on separate networks. 5 or 6 coins all having that happen at once..that begins to exceed coincidence in my eyes, but I haven't gathered enough data to prove it as anything more than a striking lottery's chance of coincidence. It seems like the coins not based on litecoin are having the issue more than others.

2) If I had time to fully digest and test the code, I would do so. I broke it almost all the way out to the basic math, but never got a chance to complete it. It would almost be easier for me to simply change the timestamp on one of my private pools and see if I could force the issue myself. And if I do find an exploit of that level, what then?

Like some other pools have done in the recent past, it may be worthwhile to simply push 500mh or a gigahash or more at the inverted timeframe, and suck the profits from the rest of the network. Unless you're confident the code doesn't have an issue with the negative retarget.

Of course, we all hope for that I'm sure.

3) Also I remember you stating that with POS a network hash monitor wouldn't be viable; since you've discussed removing POS, would you add one then?

4) There were many updates, more frequent, prior to your business trip regarding the current status of the TAG project as a whole and where it was going, but so little since then. What's the situation?

5) For network confirmations, what's the suggested number, and why?

did you even read replies that I/we gave?

You don't need to tell it to mine scrypt.

Start sgminer.exe by itself.

it will ask for a url, give it one.

then a username/worker... give it one.

then a password... give it one.

THEN create a config file by typing "S" then option "W" and enter.

THEN, select the .conf file it created and EDIT THAT.

This is probably the easiest way i can explain it.

cheers.

FortuneSeeker, in trying to keep the TAG thread on topic, move over to here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=324938.900

I'll post up some advice for you.

Ok I still need help here please

I followed this thread as it got him decent results with my cards

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=453067.20

I've got a complied version of sgminer, downloaded his .cl file and .bin file and written the .bat file like his (as below) and all I get is "unexpected extra commandline arguments" from sgminer.. Why?

color 02
timeout /30
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer kernel : scrypt130302 --thread concurrency 8192,8192,8192 -g 2 -I 13 -w 256 --auto-fan --temp-cutoff 90,90,90 --temp-overheat 85,85,85 --temp-target 68,68,68 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500,1500 --gpu-engine 1065,1065,1065 --expiry 1 --scan-time 1 --queue 0

that thread has --lookup-gap 2 in his .bat file as well, though that has already been pointed out it doesn't need to be there, but I get the same problem whether its included or not.  The kernel file is simply the name of the kernel file, but again i've tried the zuikkis.cl and that doesn't change anything.  So where am I going wrong.. still...

please help!

The old versions can't know or can't act based on other people's version. But the old versions can get an alert I think. So, maybe the devs can broadcast that alert which gets spread to all nodes to update to 1.0.5.

Then 1.0.6 and higher can have the code to check if they are on the latest version (based on alerts or something signed by the devs, so we don't get random people attacking the network by making the clients think they are on old versions when they aren't.)

In a way, the tagcoin network and mining is decentralized, but distribution and development of the clients are centralized.

Nice, mate! I'm getting the same rates with my Asus 280x's!

I've got 280X's running 720-810KH/s. Sapphire Toxic is the best of the 280X's for mining.
