Just restarted and the wallet.dat was corrupt "salvage failed". Must have been hanging. I'll do a reindex. See if it works.

Did you have coin in this wallet?

I mean why don't you start again from an empty .anoncoin data directory?

Hi,

You were right, the path to protobuf changed. I did a quick commit to master branch, can you try to build the latest now?

That did the job. No errors this time. I still get "Anoncoin running on clearnet". With no splash screen or GUI. Is it normal to have to wait over 24 hours to see a GUI as it builds the database?

Thanks for your help so far Cryptoslave.

What do you mean?

Anoncoin-qtc is with GUI, anoncoind/cli without GUI

Anoncoin running on clearnet message can be removed by the option stfu=0 in anoncoin.conf

When it builds the database you shall be in the GUI already, unless you reindex but it shall not happen on first launch, only if you change txindex=0 to txindex=1 in anoncoin.conf

What do you mean you have to wait 24 h for the GUI?

I've tried to install the linux wallet version on a rasberry pi and am getting the error after the make command: "make -j`nproc`"

I did not have this issue when building today on linux, did you try again? Otherwise I posted how to build without toolchain, try it maybe?


I've tried various Ubuntu versions on an Intel i5 laptop, I'm now on Xubuntu 16.04 and still having no luck.

It looks like the source of the tar file has been deleted from Google and anoncoin.net. If I run "sudo protoc --version" it shows that I am running the correct protobuf (libprotoc 2.5.0) so I don't know why it's not using the native installed version.  The protobuf source that is called while in the /depends directory, and when using the make command is a source that is dead: "https://protobuf.googlecode.com/files/protobuf-2.5.0.tar.bz2" . I tried running "make -i" to ignore this error and move onto using the native protobuf that I installed from Github, but this does not create the GUI when running Anoncoin.

I tried using your instructions for starting Anoncoin without the toolchain, but all I get is "Anoncoin in running on clearnet" without the GUI or splashscreen appearing. Is there anyway of changing the file to change the Protobuf source or alternatively running the make command to source the protobuf from a pre installed directory?

Hi,

No, Zerocash is a totally different tech than zerocoin, despite the name. Zerocash is most inclusive and have small proof using zkSnark but there is a trusted setup, albeit multiparty.

Zcoin is the old moneta, it is a shaddy scam coin made by former vertcoin dev, and matt green former master student, Poramin Insom. Firstly the dev scammed ppl with premined zerovert, a merge mined with vertcoin scamcoin. Then he along another friend of him who has somewhat shaddy reputation on the web, for reason I dont care of, took the zerovert code along with a couple subsidies apparently and developped moneta. Finally after they remained quite for almost a year they renamed their project to zcoin probaly to create confusion along zcash launch.

Even if not for those shaddy technique, I cannot recommand their implementation of zerocoin. Indeed, they used for the master key one RSA factoring challenge number. It is dubious to think this number factorisation was generated long ago by RSA Lab for the challenge without keeping the data somewhere.

For trustless zerocoin implementation RSA-UFO is the best IMO.  We generated some of them long ago, but Gnosis somehow put the project on hold and I cannot tell if he will continue or not at this point working on it.

To answer your question, I asked Gnosis a few month back, if he would use Moneta code for speeding up its implementation of zerocoin in anoncoin, but he said it was best he continue from where he was because he used RSA-UFO. Then I did not insist and since then I dont have news. Zcash is totally not compatible, but they have an I2P dev in the team called Str4d.

Thanks CS, keep up the good work. I know ZC was talked about before with Gnosis; before that ran into difficulty. I know that ZCash is nearing launch/completion. Have you had an opportunity to review their code as compared to what had been previously developed with regards to ANC. Is there any overlap or ability to incorporate new features from Zcash into ANC and continue to be supported under i2p? Just wondering. Thanks in advance and again, keep up the hard work!

Yes 159K is a lot of Anoncoin... time to put buy wall on BTC38 Wink

So otherwise, a new hardfork will be done at block 585000 or at 590000 depending of when I am happy with the last tuning of the PID parameters (the integral gain and time). Other PID parameter and moving average are set now, and there was added an automatic lowering of the difficulty if no block is found in 30 minutes, mining allowed during long synchronisation and the difficulty back to greater than number 1 for simplicity sake and by request from users and third party website.

I will commit this week and the hardfork will be in 20-30 days.

There are lots of ANC that will all be sold at some point... and we won't get our funds back. I had several  thousands of ANC in Cryptsy Sad


Man that sucks. I hope you're part of the class action lawsuit.

This is sad, ANC market going to crash. ANC was my favourite coin, but thank you Cryptopia for helping my coins out. THanks

you do realise ANC is listed on btc38 a chinese exchange much much bigger then cryptopia?

Cryptopias Wallet is working. but they gave up, market is closed.

ANC / BTC market is closing

Unfortunately Cryptopia have been unable to keep a stable wallet running for ANC, Despite many attempts to resolve the orphan transaction issue with our wallet we still have an 80% transaction failure rate which is causing heavy support loads on the staff to reprocess orphaned transactions. It is with regret that we have now decided to delist ANC as it is unfair to our users to have coins stuck during the constant maintenance periods of the Cryptopia ANC wallet. Please close all open orders and cease all deposits and withdraw all ANC before 30/01/2016.

Thank you four the reply, CS  Smiley
Like you said user can give the fee they want, but I dont know to what extent this will motivate miner to mine the difficult block?
it's quite simple. let's say the diff is 130 and the price 0.00017753
empty block: Reward 2.5 -> Profit 0.0684496
block with fee 2.5: Reward 5 -> Profit 0.1368992
a modern multipool should see the difference.. ( coinbasevalue )

from what it seems cryptopia is about to remove the anc market because of wallet sync issues
Well, Cryptopia's ANC wallet is locked (again).  They typically don't have much patience for issues with coin clients, regardless of the cause.  So I would not be surprised if they announced they were removing ANC even if the cause was not the developer's fault.

Okay it's because the Anoncoin library is setup for Intel so won't work on Raspberry Pi 1,2 or 3. SSE and SSE2 are Intel/AMD specific extensions that are not supported on ARM, ARM has it's own NEON SIMD extensions. It seems to me like I was trying to cross-compile a program for ARM and using the native Anoncoin g++ toolchain. Rasbpberry Pi seems to work in installing the bitcoin wallet because the Bitcoin library includes Arm support. Arm support sometime in the future possibly?

Hadn't noticed this before now after being rather lazy on the forum.

I had about 4000 anc in an old wallet for which I have lost my password. Are they now irredeemably lost because of the hard fork?

If you lost your pass then yes i would think so.

Is this coin making a comeback ....sad to see the original anon coin in such a sorry state really.

Well after the next tuning of parameters it will roll again.  Wink



please explain:
Difficulty 0.00000045
Network hash 5.65 GH/s

See https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/blob/master/src/rpcblockchain.cpp

Code:
Value getdifficulty(const Array& params, bool fHelp)
{
    if (fHelp || params.size() != 0)
        throw runtime_error(
            "getdifficulty\n"
            "\nReturns the proof-of-work required difficulty now at the tip of the block chain.\n"
            "\nResult:\n"
            "n.nnn       (numeric) The minimum difficulty is defined as 1 and this result is linear relative to that value.\n"
            "            Smaller values indicate harder, larger an easier difficulty and all blocks will have a value < 1.\n"
            "\nExamples:\n"
            + HelpExampleCli("getdifficulty", "")
            + HelpExampleRpc("getdifficulty", "")
        );

    LOCK(cs_main);
    return GetDifficulty();
}

(...)

//! Returns the floating point number that represents a multiple of the minimum
//! difficulty that was required, and found within the given block index entries
//! nBits field.  If the block index pointer given is NULL, then we use the active
//! chain tip block index as the one for which this evaluation is made.
//! minimum difficulty = 1.0, and the value goes down when difficulty is harder,
//! and up when the difficulty is easier.
double GetDifficulty(const CBlockIndex* blockindex)
{
    if (blockindex == NULL)
    {
        if (chainActive.Tip() == NULL)
            return 1.0;
        else
            blockindex = chainActive.Tip();
    }
    uint256 uintBlockDiff;
    uintBlockDiff.SetCompact( blockindex->nBits );
    return 1.0 / GetLinearWork( uintBlockDiff, Params().ProofOfWorkLimit( CChainParams::ALGO_SCRYPT ) );
}

As many people are confuse about the difficulty value returned by getdifficulty, in the next release it will return GetLinearWork( uintBlockDiff, Params().ProofOfWorkLimit( CChainParams::ALGO_SCRYPT ) ) and not the inverse of this value.

I think this is also the reason why coinwarz and coinmarketcap delisted anoncoin... so this will also be patched, people prefer a difficulty going to infinity than to zero. This was a choice of GroundRod to reflect the actual true value of difficulty which indeed becomes smaller as it becomes more difficult, but the community do not like it (and me neither BTW).

Can anyone recommend what to buy to help network? It's tough parsing through what is sensible and relatively economical (in terms of mining at a loss but not a huge loss) to buy equipment. Just wondering.

How many different miners are there btw? Is it a one-miner-per-algorithm or can you mine many other different coins? When I started, there were essentially Scrypt and SHA256... now there are LOTS of them, do you need one miner per algo to be the most efficient, or how does it work? Just wondering myself also of buying some dedicated miner and mine some ANC, but if ANC does not provide any good profits I'd want to jump in to some other coin.

Many different mining algorithm, some are for common harware like CPU or GPU, some became for specialized hardware like FPGA and ASIC. Scrypt is now only ASIC minable if you want to ROI.

Hadn't noticed this before now after being rather lazy on the forum.

I had about 4000 anc in an old wallet for which I have lost my password. Are they now irredeemably lost because of the hard fork?

No, they are lost because you have lost the password. If you find back your password, the wallet.dat is totally compatible with the new wallet, after hardfork.

I would be happy to put the Prohashing pool back on Anoncoin, but the daemon just returns "error: {"code":-10,"message":"Anoncoin is downloading blocks..."}" when calling getblocktemplate even though we are on the same block as Cryptopia.

Thank you, this is normal it is because you are stuck in initial block download because the wallet see the last block time stamp far away in the past so thinks there was blocks in between when indeed there were none.

When the next block will be found it will synchronize if you are connected to peers. I just patched a wallet to make it avoid this error and will run my ASIC to find the next block soon.
