If so, maybe we need several permanent seed dns servers and hard code.


I agree that we need several permanent seed nodes.  Ahmed (mrbodz) has been very generous by hosting the seed nodes for a while.  I do have a really old server that can host a permanent node, but my internet prevents me from having a static IP.  I would have to have a redirect which isn't the best option.

Mrbodz did suggest that we (The Terracoin Foundation) pay for a cloud server to cover such issues and he was willing to implement other features if we did.  Obviously for a price.

The community needs to raise bitcoins for this.  I may run The Terracoin Foundation, but nothing can be done without the help of the community.

One of the reasons I took control of Terracoin was because I saw too many coins being controlled by just one person.  I think that the community can work together to make a coin for the whole world.  When we finally construct the coin that we want it will pay off in the end.  Wow, I got a little preachy there.  I guess I just think that there is a coin that can replace fiat and bitcoin and it is Terracoin.  We have all been working together for a long while now, so...Damn.  Preachy again.

We can put the seed addresses (these addresses can be the pools/explorers/exchanges running server) in json file or xml file and serve the file in the website (e.g. terracoin.info). This is the cheapest way.

Consider this case:
Alice has to pay Bob for an item.
But Bob receives a lot of payments.
So there are risks of misidentification.
And moreover the transactions are publicly visible, so someone else (in case of a kind of a middleman attack) can see the transaction and pretend that the payment was made by him.
So if some information is being attached directly to the transaction, for instance the address where to send the item or some identification code, the problem of the identification is solved.
It would be even more useful in case in which the payment is automatically elaborated without Bob control.
Of course the information attached has to be encrypted, because Alice may not want everybody to see her address, for instance.
Maybe there are other ways to solve this question. I'd be happy to receive suggestions.

By the way I think that SEGWIT is useful, AFAIU it reduces the blockchain and speeds up the transactions.

 

I'd like to ask whether it's possible to add some encrypted information to the TRC transaction.

I am not sure what you mean, but if you mean encrypting messages in the blockchain I have always thought that could be the future of everything money related.

The problem is that Alice want to be anonymous. I think Alice can send some signed message to Bob before the transaction begin, to specify her bitcoin/altcoin address and other things. Then Bob will know how to deal with the transaction.
I think this is related to the protocol they do business, not with bitcoin or terracoin.
No matter what if two strangers do business, it's always unsafe. That's why we need a trusted person to be the middle man.

BVB, I should be home friday night. Been away for a bit. I'll try it when i get home.

Thanks again tt_afr!  I know BVBcoin is waiting to get paid.

Can you explain more about SEGWIT? I know it's been done to bitcoin and it can help to upgrade the protocol.

I can't actually, because I don't know enough about it.  I read all about it with bitcoin and was wondering if anyone had any opinions about it.  From what I read I couldn't see why we wouldn't do it, but I wanted to get everyone's ideas on it.  Sometimes one person's input can change everything.

I'd like to ask whether it's possible to add some encrypted information to the TRC transaction.

If terracoin irc channel is working fine, every new TRC client can get the recent nodes from there.
BTW, maybe we need to enhance the p2p connection management, so that it will be intelligent enough to find peers automatically.

Terracoin IRC channel?  What are you talking about?  I thought all cryptocurrencies have moved away from IRC for security reasons.  Sorry for my ignorance.

How do we enhance the p2p connection management?

Lastly, I was wondering about adding SEGWIT to Terracoin.  What does everyone else think about that?


Sorry, I check the code, IRC had gone. I'm out.

I added your list of nodes to my terracoin.conf and now I have peers:




Is it possible that none of the hardcoded nodes is working ? I tried several times sice two days and never got a connection.

BTW, that user agent SatoshiClone:0.8.0.4 is legit ?


It is possible that none of the hard coded nodes are working, though that means Mrbodz servers are down.  That is worry some though.

We will have to work on replacing those nodes if something doesn't change soon.  Thanks for noticing it.

As for the SatoshiClone:0.8.0.4 it should get banned around block 829,999 (or sooner).  That is the old legacy wallet which is only run by people out of the loop (Vircurex).

Hi,

I have downloaded the windows desktop wallet but it seems that it cannot connect to any peer. Tried both the 32 and 64 bits version with the same result:



Also I would like to mention that I downloaded it from https://github.com/clockuniverse/terracoin as it is stated at the home site (terracoin.info). However in the "Help->About Terracoin" of the client it relates to https://github.com/ahmedbodi/terracoin. Which is the correct repository ?


I am using the 32 bit on one computer and the 64 bit on another computer and they both work fine.  During the initial sync on one of them it stalled, but all I did was close and open the wallet and it started syncing again.

The correct repository is the clockuniverse one.  I will have to update the About Terracoin section in the code at some point.

Did you allow them access through your firewall?

You can also use these nodes (which is from C-cex node list https://c-cex.com/?id=ws&shownodes=trc):

A) Which exchange does everyone think I should try to get us added to next?

B) If you donate $5 USD on terracoin.org website I will put all of that into voting for getting Terracoin on Coinpayments!  (Scroll to the very bottom on the home page and click on the button.  You can pay with a variety of altcoins besides TRC)

For A) I suggest BTC38. If we just can manage to get into a Chinese exchange, it would really do great. BTC38 has it's trade_en pages and one can submit questions and they answer in english (depends who is there, sometimes they use google translate and occasionally someone DO speak english).

for B) I suggest that you list all people that donated at least 5$ worth of coins to the TRC foundation. Only list those who are willing to do so. List them by bitcointalk-nicks?
