Don't forget OS updates...

I'm sick to death of Microsoft OS updates on my farm, don't spoil the MN experience for me by telling me I need to do OS updates on that as well  Cheesy

How often does Ubuntu need to be updated?

Almost daily security updates  Grin
You should update frequently...

yes its true there are a lot of security updates, but only ssh and darkcoin updates are important if these are your only running services reachable from the internet. Amazon users dont even have ssh open.

This is correct.
darkcoind and SSH with ALL his dependencies need frequent updates if thats the only running services reachable from the internet  Wink

It's crazy running 30 rigs on Windows 8.1, every week I spend half a day on OS updates... They always say "critical" updates and give fuck all info on what's contained.

I'm having a play with PiMP at the moment, it seems nice, I'm close to making the switch.

I've got the Ubuntu 12.04.4 x64 distro on my nodes.
Well that is a lot to update manually indeed, and making something that could update everything at once is rather very complicated and needs extensive knowledge. Why aren't you using an Ubuntu 13.x?
12.04 is stable and works perfectly fine. 13.x requires some additional libraries when making daemon.

I've downgraded to 12.04 for my rig. Everything works and it will be supported to 2018.

When is the halving??
Multipools are killing darkcoin
Dumpers are selling, nothing to do with multipools as there not enough mined coins per day for pools to have an effect.

yes , downtrend is more due to dumping than multipools selling there coins.

The Buck Stops Here.



First image shows the balance of 2052.6784971 with all but 2.6784971 being anonymized.

Second image shows that it took roughly 34 minutes to anonymize the whole balance after original inputs. Good stuff!

What libraries? help us please Smiley
Thanks
google is your friend. We had some issues when compiling for ozziecoin. It is situation dependent. Suggest you downgrade to 12.10 or 12.04 if you have problems.

Do not update. Those guys are trolls. On my ignore list.

No chance in hell I was going to change your maintenance instructions without speaking to you first.

Just being polite to people trying to help.

The coin doesn't half. It uses a different dispersion model that slowly tapers the coin production down year by year.

It's a genius distribution model. (probably because the main dev has experience in the financial industry and understands basic economics)

Basically it creates a nice deflationary currency with a nice deflationary curve.
No idea where the image for it is...

TLDR: Genius deflationary model for coin distribution that doesn't rely on sledgehammer halving.

i wonder what's the percentage of masternode owners capable of upgrading their node themselves..
They might need to find someone who can help them, before big updates are coming (?)

Maybe it's nothing to be afraid of, but it must be kept in mind running a masternode is not a fire-and-forget kind of thing, it needs maintenance once in a while.
More than 90% of MN owners know how to update because if they don't they won't get paid. MNs are set and forget. Super easy.

plus there are scripts that will automatically update a masternode anyways.

darkcoin doesn't halve. It has DGW, which automatically adjusts block payout with difficulty. The minimum is 5 drk per block

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is out as well Wink
Much longer support than some 13.x one!

I have had no problems with compiling darkcoin from source on 14.04.

At least do apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and reboot afterwards. In case you are on Debian based system.
Or spend maybe 10 DRK and buy Debian/Linux for Beginners to understand a bit.


I hear you bro, I know I need to understand Linux a lot better, it's on the list...

I shall add it to my list of tasks when I'm updating my MN's, thank you...

Avatars are overrated.
How is this coin still going after the epic instamine scam? I don't understand, was that not true? Was there an instamine or not?
