Hey guys,

I'm trying to set up a FIRST MINI purely selling DCR (not buying at the moment) business directly via credit card payment. This is experimental and i only accept small transaction at anyone time. Here's little more information regarding how the payment works.

1. I am a reputable seller from a Singapore marketplace called Shopee.sg (It's a lot like Carousell + Amazon on a steroid). You can make the purchase directly from the website or download the companion apps called "Shopee" on your Google PLaystore/Apple Appstore.

The sample of the purchase will be like this, you can try to navigate around to familiarize yourself with the payment procedure as it's very straight forward:
http://mall.shopee.sg/item/?sid=223570&iid=1945925

PROTIP-
* Enter your country code+mobile number during the registration of your address (i.e: +60 1275582229). This is required to receive a one time SMS verification code before you can purchase.
* Do not save your credit card info after purchase for a better peace of mind. You can manually remove it from the database after purchase.

2. You PM me of the amount you wish to buy. This is an experimental feature so i'm not accepting more than 10DCR transaction at any one time.
3. I will list down a "product" that reflect the value of the DCR and you shall "purchase" the product and make the payment via your credit card .
4. You need to then "CONFIRM" the delivery of the product via apps. This is done so that the funds will be released to me by the marketplace and no chargeback is possible (Unlike paypal).
5. Your DCR will then be sent to you instantly. (This require some trust on your end, but you can try with amount as small as 1 DCR if you are skeptical). This is all done manually.
6. There is no credit card fee involved on the buyer's end but the price of the DCR sold will be at a slight premium and decided at the point of agreement (which is to be expected as this involve some overhead fee and no one else is taking the risk of offering the same service as i do). Also, the currency involved is naturally in Singapore Dollar (SGD) so there will be some Forex fee involved when it shows up on your credit card bill.

I hope with this service, it will mark the end of fear of the scammers and a new age of trust, despite paying  a little bit more premium, i'm opening up the opportunity for guys who are looking to buy DCR directly using credit card and hopefully increase the adoption by the masses.


PM me away, and REMEMBER to leave a positive review once the transaction is successful to vouch for me =)

It's serious to someone who uses the web wallet. Also, a new investor might get rightly pissed off trying to figure everything out for the 1st time without the wiki or the forum.

Just have published the sgminer decred preview :

The issue should not be serious because everything is running smoothly.

Any news on why the websites have gone down?

Forum and web wallet too

I agree that the Spartan-6 chips are outdated.  That was actually why I created the bitstream.   I was hoping to find other devs that wanted to collaborate to push the Spartan-6 further and breath a little more life into these ztex boards.  I didn't find any so I just decided to post what I had.  The newer chips/boards are certainly better, but I'm not sure anyone is creating bitstreams for them.  Maybe you can lead the way :-)

I created a bitstream for the ZTEX 1.15y board and want to share it with the decred community.  If you have a ZTEX 1.15y board, you should be able to mine DCR using this modified cgminer and bitstream.

I have put the bitstream at the following link.  It gets about 800Mh/s.

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/j1d12ixhfthj0y7/ztex_ufm1_15y1.bit?dl=0

The cgminer is located at the following link:

    https://github.com/sprocket-fpga/cgminer_3.7.2_ztex

Below are the steps I used to modify Decred cgminer 0.0.5 to run on my Raspberry Pi.

    1) sudo apt-get update
    2) sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-1.0-0 libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev screen libtool automake pkg-config libjansson-dev
    3) git clone https://github.com/decred/cgminer
    4) cd cgminer
    5) sudo ./autogen.sh
    6) sudo ./configure --disable-adl --enable-icarus
    7) copy .c and .h files to cgminer directory
    8 ) copy .bit to cgminer\bitstreams
    9) sudo make
    10) Command Line: cgminer --disable-gpu --blake256 -o < url:port > -u < username > -p < password > --ztex-clock 100:100

Note: This miner only works on Getwork pools. It does not have the Stratum logic incorporated yet.

Open Issue: This miner seems to work fine for up to 4 ztex boards. More than 4 boards is causing the cgminer to crash after 10 minutes.  If you have any ideas how to fix this issue, please PM me.

It appears the wiki, the block explorer,  & the stakepool web pages are all down.

had the same problem - i switched over to yiimp - finding blocks no problem.

What's the command lines for this order:
Mining stops for 10 seconds between each 5 minute and then start automatically.

Examples:

11:00:00 start mining
11:05:00 stop mining
11:05:10 start mining
11:10:10 stop mining
11:10:20 stop mining

Can't seem to connect to Suprnova....I used stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252 ever since it was released and supported, but now the miner just says it can't connect to 2252.  Anyone else having this?

Good news from Brazil

@LeviNobre Is developing a gateway to make easier that online shops receive in DECRED and Vcash.

Soon several brazilian online stores will be accepting DCR, including a hemp market 

Yeah, you're not gonna find HDL or a bitstream for LX150. Not for a while, at least. I hear kramble's code won't do it (suboptimal implementation core leads to it not synthesizing and fitting on LX150 when extended from 8-round to 14-round) but I haven't tried because I found his code so unreadable I didn't even want to start with it as a base - so I wrote it from scratch. I do have a ZTEX quad (1.15y) that behaves somewhat badly... I might try using my design and putting it to LX150.

Sweet!!
Thank you very much!

Thanks
