Topic: [ANN] ZERO - fork of Zcash with harder mining params - page 59. (Read 131859 times)

zerodev2, you are DA MAN!
Can you tell us how to check the state on the network, the number of running nodes, please?
And I'll be sure to leave a Zero node up and running as well.

We are in business!

So with the help of some users here I was able to send my coins from linux node from the first days of zero. I wish good luck and prosper to zero.

he has to send mined blocks to a private address first.

The GUI wallet supports T addresses. Please PM me with the wallet log and screen-shot of what error occurs.

As already announced by @tearodactyl the ZCash Desktop GUI wallet is now available for the ZERO currency:

https://github.com/vaklinov/zero-swing-wallet-ui

This program provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the ZERO client tools that acts as a wrapper and presents the information in a user-friendly manner. Before installing the Desktop GUI Wallet you need to have ZERO up and running. For security reasons it is recommended to always build the GUI wallet program from GitHub source. The details of how to build it are on the GitHub site (link above). If anyone encounters a bug, please open detailed bug reports (attaching logs and screen-shots) here:
https://github.com/vaklinov/zero-swing-wallet-ui/issues

At the present time this project is non-commercial in nature and developed by volunteers. If you find the GUI Wallet useful, please consider making a donation for its further development. Your contribution matters! The donation address may be found on the GitHub site and in the GUI wallet "About" window.

Somehow can not send my coins from linux to exchange, t address is not supported in ui wallet.

On the topic of the ZERO network, two things are apparent:

1. There are very few running ZERO nodes
2. Very few of those few ZERO nodes accept incoming connections

In fact my own node constantly has only one peer connected. The only node that (seems to) readily accepts connections is 35.164.216.74 (put up by the ZERO creator). In this condition the ZERO network is not really decentralized and resilient at all...

So let us try to fix this! I have started a ZERO node to the "benefit of the community" - IP 94.176.235.178  It accepts incoming connections. Everyone interested may add it to their config. file ~/.zero/zero.conf:

addnode=94.176.235.178

This node is based on the ZERO code-base at: https://github.com/zerodev2/zero
I would ask all those interested in having a strong ZERO network to either run a node that accepts connections or help me run this one (at least) The node costs approx 0.8 USD per day - at the current rate this is 5 ZER. All ZER contributions I receive to this ZERO address

t1L7TfvTQb9B78sLxH9cfx65aBVKfrFJMBQ

will be used to pay for the node... If enough people help with a few pennies - we can keep it running. This should be just a start - one extra node does not make a network ;-)

Yep. The ZERO Desktop GUI Wallet  https://github.com/vaklinov/zero-swing-wallet-ui works for me too... much better than a command line.

Ok so my node disconnection problem was because it somehow colided with older original zero node. Now everything is just fine and my node is working. So new source is good..

I did not get your mail. Could you send it again or post the log on some shared service (dropbox) and send me a private forum message with the link...

Ubuntu 16.04 build works as advertised. Code changes look very reasonable. Node has been running for six hours.
Validated GUI Wallet https://github.com/vaklinov/zero-swing-wallet-ui
Two transactions to the dev tip jar address: t1UDhNq2aEqvxEbPzcRM8n2QJV8YJ664rXJ
You should try it too
I say, ship it.

So log file is sended. Wonder where is my problem. First I thaught that It is more cores than my memory, but even with less cores setup it disconnects..

Could I ask you to ZIP and send me your log ~/.zero/debug.log to check (my mail is [email protected]). I do not have this disconnect problem...

So node is getting every few mins. disconnected.

Then a few other volunteers may run it on their ZERO nodes for a few days to make sure it works for them (works for me locally).
For now the question of long term development remains...

Node is up and running..

On it.

To move ZERO forward I think we all need to realize that “we are in it together”. We may be selfish in our own ways: developers/miners etc. but if the currency dies off, due to not being pushed forward we will all suffer. If more community members become more active I think we can push it forward together…

The main problem to tackle at this stage is indeed the lack of further code base development. Like many I hope the ZERO creator will return to active development. But even if he does not, this is no reason to close shop. Bitcoin did not die when Satoshi disappeared, ZERO can also live on supported by a community. Perhaps one or two developers like @tearodactyl could undertake to continue to develop the code-base and the miners could support them in some way … e.g. developer bounties.

At this difficult time (security issue) I wish to offer my own contribution to ZERO development: I have back-ported the Zcash 1.0.8-1 security fix to the codebase of ZERO (which is based on Zcash 1.0.6). The code is now available on the following alternative ZERO GitHub site:

https://github.com/zerodev2/zero

I wish to ask for help by 2-3 community members who understand code, to review the change and confirm it is OK with them (and write on this forum thread). The security fix is the only change. Then a few other volunteers may run it on their ZERO nodes for a few days to make sure it works for them (works for me locally). After that I will send a pull request to the ZERO creator to incorporate the change… but even if he does not, this will not stop us… if an attack is started by malicious actors we will have a fix to deploy.

For now the question of long term development remains...

You´r the hero.. Would be great..

Not to despair, I'll look at it today.
