I cannot read your answer because https://wiki.anoncoin.net/GroundRod_PID_main_ver1 has a security certificate error. I know the problem is not unique to me because I attempted to access it fro multiple devices, browsers and IP addresses.

Can you cut and past your response here until you are able to fix the ecurity certificate error?

Based on this issue and the toolchain problem described by Cryptopia perhaps these easy certificate/build errors should be fixed before more time is spent on PID.

It is hard to convince people to use privacy/security software when these basic issues are present

The build without toolchain was proposed here above, it is not and never was an issue at all. Just two ways of building with dependencies.

The SSL certificate is self-signed by Meeh as the wiki site is hosted on its norway server. The only thing I can do for that is to ask him to renew his signature, which I did right now; but I have no more power than this on this SSL certificate.

I can copy paste here but it will be huge post, which is why I used the wiki for that.

Did the blockchain fork after the hard fork?
My transfer of 9.9 ANC from AMXraoVxaBvkiwWHbYRkQW7nmo6vHNHBrQ to ASoVC4BfzXKvuCp96ckq41QsxnWLh3gxnx has a lot of confirmations, but it doesn't show up in the explorer http://abe.darkgamex.ch:2751/chain/Anoncoin

Hi,

Yes, the hardfork worked correctly.

http://abe.darkgamex.ch:2751/chain/Anoncoin is still on the old chain but is being updated at the moment.

Your transaction was done on the correct chain.

Sadly, I am not very happy with the tuning of the retarget algo with 90% of our hashrate being multipools it retarget too strongly both upward and downward and consequently the remaining faithful miners (around 400 MH/s) have to mine very difficult blocks (even up to 100 times more difficult than some of the quick blocks mined by multipools). The chain is thus for the moment about 30% too slow with very broad block time.

So I will check how to tune the moving averages differently to not have so much variation with this particular 90%+ intermittent multipool hashrate as well as the proportional term of the PID to have a smoother ride with retargetting less aggressively in those worse mining conditions. In a couple of weeks a new hardfork (0.9.6.12, same codebase) will be proposed with the new settings for the PID after we testnet it and will be announced here as well as with the alert key.

CS

How is the difficulty re-targeting looking now after you have had a few more weeks to evaluate it post fork?

Hi,

I did a post with the current data from mainet on the wiki: https://wiki.anoncoin.net/GroundRod_PID_main_ver1

I hope it answer your questions!

As stated above I am still tuning the PID to limit the dispersion in block time.

Thank you for your question!

vircurex.com also trades ANC and you have to inform them about the wallet upgrade. I have been trading lots of ANC over there and so far I have not had any problems with deposits or withdrawals

Quote from: ?? on ??

Only vircurex to go... They're slow, let's see if they update or drop ANC

vircurex is run by the known scammer kumala, AVOID or lose your coins.

I think the fact that Cryptopia doesn't simply compile untrusted code rather makes them different from Cryptsy. Wasn't it malicious code injected by some coin (lucky7coin or so) that brought Cryptsy down in the first place..?

Supposedly, but I think it's widely believed that Vern just took the money and ran (to China), and the lucky7 exploit thing was just an excuse/ruse.

Re: Cryptopia, they didn't open an issue on GitHub, and I'm assuming they didn't ask for help on irc. If you come to the land of trolls asking for help at the last minute, don't be surprised if you get trolled.

bump

Sallah says he's now come to the same conclusion Silver has reached about Big Vern's story.

"You do the math," Sallah says. "If you think someone hacked in, why would he have written that kind of confessional letter, posted it, and moved to China?... If it's not corporate looting, it's at least extreme corporate malfeasance."

I contacted them for the second time.... we will see if they answer.

Hardfork is in 4 days! Please update your wallets everybody! All people on 0.8.5.6 will be disconnected soon from the correct blockchain (0.9.6.11)!

Thanks for the hard work cryptoslave. The name seems especially fitting with all the work you've been putting out. Thanks.

Thank you tomothy, yep hence the name Wink

So I have received confirmation from BTC38, cryptopia and exchanged.i2p: they are all on the good version (0.9.6.11)

The libraries downloaded by the toolchain are public and open source.

Those very same libraries (boost, openssl, qrencode, qt, berkeley-db, miniupnc,...) are used by many altcoin and Bitcoin. For more info Building headless Bitcoin and Bitcoin-qt on Windows. Compare the libraries with for instance https://gist.github.com/kostaz/19729e6d53adc5d1606c

BTW the OSX DMG Build was added today https://anoncoin.net/downloads/0.9.6.11/Anoncoin-0.9.6.11.dmg Checksum: MD5 40FFC15255518EC30D6678EA3469C313 SHA-1 0C4E8F229EE09F8F1CDD8F500496F510A21A8A0A

I have updated a procedure for building anoncoind, anoncoin-cli and anoncoin-qtc without the toolchain on Ubuntu and Debian, for people who need it. Also good to check the Bitcoin guide https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md

Code:

If you want to build anoncoind and anoncoin-cli without using the toolchain.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install g++ git automake
sudo apt-get install autoconf make libtool pkg-config libqt4-network libqtgui4

After the dependencies got installed, download anoncoin and configure the building process.

cd
git clone https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin.git
cd anoncoin
./autogen.sh
./configure

If you encounter any error.

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev git libdb++-dev libssl-dev

If you encounter configure: error: libdb_cxx headers missing.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev

Now launch the configure again.

./configure

If you want to compile the GUI (anoncoin-qtc). After "make", anoncoin-qtc will be found in src/qt/.

sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
./configure --with-gui=qt4

Now after a succesful configure ending, launch the build.

make -j`nproc`

You now have built src/anoncoind, src/anoncoin-cli and maybe src/qt/anoncoin-qtc.

The executables are quite big because they are built with GCC and you can strip the debug symbols, which reduces the executable size by about 90%.

strip src/anoncoind
strip src/anoncoin-cli
strip src/qt/anoncoin-qtc

Setup of first run in command line.

Code:

Anoncoind and anoncoin-cli will have been created in anoncoin/src folder. To run it the first time, with no previous datadir (if it exists from a previous version please remove everything in ~/.anoncoin but not wallet.dat).

mkdir ~/.anoncoin
cp doc/anoncoin.conf.sample ~/.anoncoin/anoncoin.conf
nano ~/.anoncoin/anoncoin.conf

In anoncoin.conf, change rpcuser, rpcpassword

For clearnet-only comment onlynet=i2p and in i2p.options set enabled=0

For I2P-only uncomment onlynet=i2p and in i2p.options set enabled=1

For I2P and clearnet (mixed mode) comment onlynet=i2p and in i2p.options set enabled=1

For I2P router configuration and settings check https://wiki.anoncoin.net/How_to_setup_your_Anoncoin_wallet#Using_the_command_line_to_generate_a_random_anoncoin_address_and_run_anoncoind_with_I2P

Execute anoncoind and anoncoin-cli

Man, great job wrecking the price Cryptopia Cheesy

I agree they're a decent exchange in general. I like the stand they took on ETH, but I am still shaded the fuck out by EDRcoin. Hopefully they get this sorted shortly and I can grab a few more before price recovers.

Look, if the EDRC guys want to give us fees for trading among themselves then I dont care, they are doing it on multiple exchanges, and personally I don't really care, and normal trader can see its not real volume.

If we started blocking coin devs from pumping there own coins we would have no users.

As for us being "Crypsty" for having compile issues with ANC due to it contacting untrusted sites during compile time which is impossible with our wallet server security, then so be it, plenty of other sites to trade ANC without us "verning" you guys.

Spend all week trying to do something for the ANC community, then just get shit on for it, just another day in crypto.

Poor guys, (supposedly) soaking up hundreds of dollars in fees from EDRcoin scammers everyday, and still having to put up with shit from uppity shitcoin holders Tongue

I wouldn't say that I'm ANC community, I just have a few hundred coins on your exchange. I'm glad you guys got cryptonote integration working, and like I said, I'm glad you dumped ETH, but cmon, if you can't compile a wallet for a week and you can't deal with a little (mostly) good natured ribbing on shitcointalk, maybe you're in the wrong business...

Re: Cryptopia & Wallet compile

Is the above-mentioned discussion and wallet issues singular to Cryptopia? If there is a concern about downloading unknown/unverified libraries from an unknown location, wouldn't other places/exchanges/users share a similar concern? Would this simply be a hosting issue and we need to upload the requisite libraries someplace else? Just wondering as there are already few exchanges offering and maintaining the coin as it is. Sorry if what I just typed didn't make sense, I don't understand all this code stuff so... lol.
