Hi protonn

I'm getting this warning when starting argentum-qt:

"Unknown block versions being mined!..."

Is this somehow related to the latest hard fork? Anything we should consider?

Is there a plan to add NeoScrypt as a supported mining algorithm in a future release? There are some interesting coins using that.

Also, started downloading the Argentum-Blockchain, but it's taking quite long. I saw that it downloads block headers first; shouldn't it therefore work quite fast?

No plans to add Neoscrypt.

AUXPOW headers can get pretty large, so it still takes a while to download the headers. There's around 1.8 million non-auxpow headers. Blocks 1,825,000 million to 2,977,000 are pretty much all AUXPOW. 2,977,000 is a mix of AUXPOW and non-AUXPOW

Yesterday, I downloaded everything onto an external SSD and it finally completed after 7 hours or so. Today I plugged the SSD in again and got a window that the SSD needs to be repaired. Repairing went through fine, then I opened argentum-qt, and it started all the blocks from 50 weeks behind again, despite having completed everything yesterday. Is this a common issue / why does this happen?

Also, I assume that I only need to back up the encrypted wallet.dat file somewhere as it's the case for other coins, correct?

Edit:
when encrypting the wallet, it says MYRIADCOINS (though there often is Bitcoin mentioned in there as well):

Did you make sure to unmount (eject, on Windows) your external SSD before unplugging? Sometimes if you do not do this it can corrupt data.

Yes, try to have your backups in 2 separate secure locations.

Thanks for pointing that out. I pushed a fix for that.

"Bitcoin" is in the Source code so often it would very time consuming to search for all occurrences that were missed and still display "Bitcoin" to users. I will fix them as people find and report them.

Seems like I forgot to eject the external SSD before unplugging, you're right! Now that I eject it first, there are no problems anymore. Thank you!

I'll collect my findings whenever I see Bitcoin and send them over to you then!

Where in this list of releases* can I download the Electrum wallet for Argentum? Or is this still WIP / do I need to download and install the big
Code:
argentum-4.14.4-win64-setup-unsigned.exe
file?

*https://github.com/argentumproject/argentum/releases

still wip

Yes, that file is what you want to download.

Thank you for the answer, makes sense. I've read through older posts and found out that there are only up to 6 blocks which get mined with the same algorithm, afterwards another algo gets the next 6 blocks etc., is this still correct? Is it random which algo gets to mine the next 6 blocks or is it always for example SHA256 -> Scrypt -> Algo3 -> A5 -> A6 -> SHA 256 -> Scrypt -> [...]?

Bitcoin Core has released the version 0.16 - is Argentum following Bitcoin there (IIRC you are on 0.14.2 now)?

I somewhere read that cryptocollector has health issues - wishing him a fast recovery here. Who besides you, protonn, is involved with the development of Argentum? I understand this is something you are doing on your spare time, do you have a team around you?





Best way to contribute is word of mouth and supporting the network by mining one of the 6 algorithms.

Argentum is listed on Localbitcoincash.org, cryptopia.co.nz, novaexchange.com and coinexchange.io.

Will definitely do that, be assured! :-)

Newb-question, what is the rationale of having 6 algorithms mining Argentum? Does this approach secure the network in a better way? Or: why don't only the "superior"/"more efficient" algorithms survive and the rest die out? I'd think that there is an equilibrium (game theory-wise) where only the most efficient algorithm will be used.



More algorithms can help in securing the network. An attacker would need to takeover multiple algorithms. Multiple algorithms allow anyone to mine Argentum. ARG has algorithms dominated by ASICS, and algorithms that are CPU/GPU friendly for mining with consumer grade hardware. You can even mine from your android phone with NeoNeonMiner. You should be able to point it to a P2pool and go.

The market should (in theory) create an equilibrium between the algorithm, but there's so many variables it's difficult to predict.

Any algorithm can find the next block, it just can't find more than six in a row.

I'm going to keep Argentum up-to-date the best I can. Currently exploring the best upgrade paths.

I'm the only developer right now.
