Looks like carsen is back. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/webcoin-web-x14-powpos-hybrid-block-explorer-stats-and-chat-in-wallet-701408

Yup, source is ALWAYS missing docs https://github.com/webcoinx14/Webcoin

Is there an active dev on this project? Is there a working blockchain explorer?

Blocks have been really slow and I can't tell if its us or the network.

Thanks,

Update: Getting closer to being able to release a new wallet that will allow the next block to be PoW. I am testing code now.

The next block may not be solvable by ourselves since the difficulty got high with pools, it might be necessary (although we don't know yet) to code a reward for the next block or two to attract some hash power, or maybe gather donations to briefly rent some hash, (ask a favour of someone perhaps) depending what we can find out... We'll probably make a copy of the blockchain available for download so there won't be such an issue syncing...

I think changing the last POW block to 6000, making block reward for 5001-6000 = 0, while leaving POS starting at block 5000 is a smart idea. Only problem is POW difficulty is currently 84. Are we going to be able to solo mine that? I don't think any pool is going to want to bother mining 32 blocks for no coins.

True... that will be a problem. Can we force a re-target after one or two blocks instead of what it's set for now? would that be enough? It should re-target crazy low since it's been soooo long since a PoW block.

bumping this thread for interest. I admit I've been under the spell of other coins but could easily donate to see this one back on track. I asked Bill at Bittrex to give some time for this to evolve but I don't have the tech skills. Yes, bad pun. Any other bagholders with me on this ?

I have set up a DNS seed for Hyperstake, I can do the same for Tech when I have a chance.

I'll set up tech.chainworks.info as the dns seed and take a look at where it needs to go in the code.

It's in net.cpp.

static const char *strDNSSeed[][2] = {
{"23.254.97.249", "23.254.97.249"}, //Main Techcoin Seed Node
};

I finally got Abe working 98% with Techcoin so we now have a mostly working BLOCK EXPLORER here for now: http://techblocks.chainworks.info:8324/

I need to find some hosting for it, has to be some kind of VPS, not just a webhost since you gotta compile & run the wallet.

As far as changing the wallet to fix things, I think if the PoW is restarted until block 6000 (when PoS was originally supposed to start) with 0 reward (+ transaction fees) and we cut back on the block count for maturity and stake some more, by block 6000 the PoS should have had some time to get going and PoW can really end.

I've only got a couple hours a night to dedicate to this stuff, that's why progress is so frustratingly slow. I am working on things to prepare this, but I am basically learning all the development process as I go, so things are not progressing quickly.

I haven't yet got linux GUI or windows wallet compiled, that's my next thing to learn unless someone can volunteer to do that... that's where I'm at.

I can compile Windows and Mac wallets if you upload the edited source to github. I can also help you with compiling your Linux GUI, I have a working Techcoin wallet in Ubuntu. Do you know how to setup a new DNS seed? Not completely necessary because we can publish nodes for conf files but would be nice.

would be good timing rods just fell flat on it's face and is in the early stages of a community takeover and I like technology much better than nuclear anything Wink

Potential Market Delisting for July 14th from bitrex Sad

Right now the blockchain is totally stopped (block 5067), but 3 days ago it went forward faster and got confirmations.

Can we withdraw or send them to another exchange Huh

Will I lose the coins if I send them somewhere from Bittrex because of the blockchain problem Huh

Withdraw the coins to another echange not seems a good idea. Contact bittrex and tell them if can wait a wile to delist, because there are people working to fix it. I can't think anything better.

sudo chmod 755 src/leveldb/build_detect_platform

then make

Thank you... knew it was simple but for some reason couldn't figure that one... feeling a bit stupid - it's been a while since I did linux.

ok, now to get it ~~running and synced~~, then the BE, then windows qt cross compile.
