We'll still need a block explorer to get Allcoin to update the wallet...

My issue is currently that the wallet won't compile in linux for me...  Tried fresh install of Ubuntu 10, 12, 14... no difference.
I am able to compile a wallet, I successfully got HYP compiled and synced, so I know it's something to do with the way this co(i)n is configured...

Code:

I get the same error with Firecoin, no real shock there.  I'm sure it's an obvious solution that experienced devs would know, but so far all the solutions I've tried do not work.

Help!

We have some updates on progress being made on fixing the wallet.

First, we have realized that we don't need a block explorer to retrieve the information we needed.  It is accessible through the debug console of the wallet, so we do have the info we need.

In case you couldn't tell from that last statement, we are not experienced devs.   Smiley  We are crypto enthusiasts who are interested in the code with experience in tweaking code and compiling wallets.  Our goal is not personal gain, as we are not even holding a very large amount of TECH, we just want to get this thing back on track.  We are open to growing this community and would love to have a more experienced dev join us on this project.

We have made the following changes to the code and are now in a testing phase:

1. Added checkpoint for block 5000 (last POW block/POS switchover) on the corrected POS fork (1.0.0.1)
2. Restored original min stake time of 24 hours
3. Changed main seed node.

We're now in the process of getting the new wallet compiled and up and running on the new main seed node host.  Due to the fact that we have full-time jobs and families, we're not progressing as quickly as we would like, so would welcome additional help to get things moving more quickly, as well as some more experienced eyes on the code to make sure there aren't any other errors in the code that need to be corrected.  It is apparent at this point that the dev intentionally coded this coin to stop the blockchain at the end of POW, and only issued a "fix" after he dumped his coins, so we wouldn't be surprised to see other malicious errors buried elsewhere in the code.

Thank you all for your patience, and please contact us if you are interested in assisting.

How does restoring the original min stake time of 24 hours help anything?  I thought the whole problem was we didn't have enough blocks eligible for stake?

The point of restoring the original stake time is to restore the original parameters of the coin.  Reducing the stake time was not a fix for the slow blockchain.

The new source is up on GitHub:

https://github.com/techcoincommunity/techcoin

If somebody could compile a Windows wallet and put it up on Mega or Dropbox for us to test it will help us get this moving quicker and would be greatly appreciated.  Our compiling experience is in Linux and Mac wallets.

We are in desperate need of a block explorer.  We can't fix the wallet without one.  We obviously have no premine to offer a bounty, but we will work to gather donations for anyone that can provide a working block explorer and will put your BTC and TECH addresses in the OP of the new thread and encourage the community to donate.

The original dev was an asshole who thought that he could manipulate his code and the market and just move on to his next con, or we as a community can say "no, we will not accept this bullshit" and crypto is not a game for scammers....WE believe that cryptocurrency is the future.  You turned your premine into a tiny amount of BTC....others invested even more BTC into this. 

So what are we going to do, Techcoin Community?  Are we going to just lay down and say "another dead coin," or are going to stand up and say "ENOUGH?!"

just got up to speed.  I'll contribute to this cause as well if someone can set up the bounty.  I believe this can be done for .2 BTC by http://chainz.cryptoid.info/

I'm just a small fish but I have 5 TECH sitting on bittrex I'll put towards the bounty for the new wallet/explorer  (something like judgecoins version on the silk wallet could look really cool with a TECH design)

might donate a lil more if some progress is made Smiley

what should be the contents of the file techcoin.conf to make wallet work properly ?

wallet not working. any idea of techcoin.conf?

The wallet is broken.  Nodes won't help you.  We can fix it but we need to bring somebody on board that can develop a working block explorer.  We don't need it hosted, at least not right away, we just need to look at blocks 5000 and 5001 on the good fork so we can hardcode a checkpoint in the new wallet.

Well the TECH I withdrew from bittrex finally confirmed.  If we can all just hang tight for about 2 months, my coins should be enough to move the blockchain along.   Undecided

A community takeover is in progress.  An updated wallet is needed to fix the slow blockchain, and we are also working on a new block explorer.  Please watch for an announcement in the coming days.

Any word on the takover of this coin, or has the dev returned?

Yeah, we'll need to start a new thread but not until we have a working block explorer and fixed wallets, otherwise it will be ignored.

Curious, so if the min stake age was set to an hour in the latest version of the wallet, the blockchain measures time in blocks, not actual time correct?  So these coins I withdrew would need not be eligible for 60 blocks, not literally an hour?  If thats the case, then yeah, we need a fork and community takeover because we won't ever get that far.

That's correct, we need to fork and reduce nTargetSpacing to increase the rate at which blocks are generated.  Reducing the stake age won't help with moving the blockchain.

What about stake difficulty?  Isn't that the reason it's taking so long to get the next block, kind of like PoW after big hash power leaves?  The target time is 60 seconds, do we really want to reduce it to get things moving, then increase it later to correct the block rate?  If we lower the initial difficulty that should get block time closer to 60s target, right?

I think if we are determined to keep the coin as PoS only there are a bunch of numbers needing to change, but let's gather some more opinions on what numbers to change...  I am new at this, so any info you have about other coins n stuff would help.

I am also open to (and in favour of) re-starting PoW, mostly as a way to generate blocks and get transactions moving, using a very low block reward so that it's still primarily a PoS coin.

The POS difficulty is 0.00024414.  It doesn't really get much lower than that.  I've been looking over the code and comparing it to other coins and I'm starting to think that this is a problem that isn't going to be fixed by coding, but by fixing the network.  The first thing we need to do is identify nodes that are updated and consistently online.  The only one I've found so far is 24.85.126.229:57697.  We should also contact Bittrex and make sure they have the updated wallet.  We also need to get a block explorer up and running so we can take a look at what's happening on the blockchain.

Yeah, that guy...  err...  yeah   Smiley

My weekend starts tomorrow, I should have enough time to learn what is needed to get a block explorer up.

I guess we should start a new thread so that the latest version is in the OP, that might help, and establish the fact that this thread, and thus coin has been abandoned.
