Topic: [ANN][DGC] Digitalcoin | Multi-algo & Masternodes | Established 2013 - page 90. (Read 523599 times)

I have a question about future developments of DGC as read at the CryptoNerd webpage. It says there something about variable block times:

"Most, if not all crypto have a fixed block time, depending on their current difficulty. For example, a block can be generated every 45 seconds, every 5 minutes, every 31 seconds,..You get the idea. But what if, and I want to stress the IF part, those block times could become variable?

We’re not going into detail on how this would be coded. I myself am no programmer, and most of you wouldn’t be interested in the technical, boring mumbo jumbo anyway. Variable block times could have several consequences to take into account, so maybe we should take a look at those first, before judging whether or not this would be a good call.

- Potential increase in block generation rate because there will be more transactions.
- The Digitalcoin network would generate less “useless” blocks, useless as in blocks that aren’t processing transactions. This would allow transactions to be sent even faster than the times we are experiencing right now.
- Variable block times could also be a long-term solution to tie Digitalcoin usability and Digitalcoin block rewards directly. Usability and rewards is a very difficult combination to master if you have long-term plans for your coin. This could bring us one step closer to that goal."

So, what's up this this? Is this just an idea or may something really come out of this?

Would love it if DGC would be known as one of the most innovative coins out there for actual use. There has been lots of talk about mining rewards, multipools and the price of DGC lately. But after V1 is active, I think it's time to focus on some core issues again: What non-virtual things can you use DGC for instead of looking at numbers in your client to pile up. The Android Wallet sounds great, and I love the digitalcoin USB drive, though I find 16 gigs a bit too small these days. Its design looks terrific! Let's show everyone DGC isn't just another pump and dump coin. And real world use is the key to success. The more people can identify with the coin and actually use it even for silly little things (that maybe useful though), the faster it will take off.

Rock on!

I think we should officially move the thread to the dgc forum

Klintay,

You do not need pool info in your digitalcoin.conf file.  That info goes into your cgminer config file if you use one.  So it is safe to remove it.

cool, i found a block last night

You don't need to add nodes to your miner config. Those nodes are for your client only.

This is what i put in my config file:

rpcuser=x
rpcpassword=y
rpcallowip=localhost
rpcport=7998
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1

{
"pools" : [
        {
                "url" : "http://localhost:7998/",
                "user" : "x",
                "pass" : "y"
        },
        {
                "url" : "http://mine-dgc.scryptmining.com:3388/",
                "user" : "ilovedgc.1",
                "pass" : "x"
        }
]
,
"failover-only" : true


I noticed that the config file in the digitalcoin master download has lots of nodes. do I need them as well? What do they do? It seems to be mining happily...just keeps saying "New block detected" every 1-2 mins. Haven't found anything yet. Do i need to add any thing else to my digitalcoin.conf file?

Thanks in advance!

I've started promoting the digitalcoin - Portable USB project on indiegogo.com via my proxy websites:

http://www.xeronet-proxy.org
http://www.xeronet-proxy.biz
http://www.xeronet-proxy.info
http://www.xeronet-proxy.net
http://www.xeronet-proxy.com

See the main project page here: http://igg.me/at/digitalcoin-usb/x/5215693 - Again, backing for the project ends on Sat. 30th November 2013.

Anyone with a website or blog can embed the standard indiegogo widget to support the project and help to promote digitalcoin to the masses.


If you would prefer to use the floating ad that I've created for above websites then please contact me via PM.

I'll allocate a number of 16GB Flashdrives to anyone that promotes this widget for the duration of the funding period. Quality websites or blogs with a reasonable level of traffic please. This offer is completely separate to indiegogo and from the new stock.

...

On a separate note if the community would be able to crowdfund my Bitcoinstarter project very quickly, then driving mass traffic to further promote the indiegogo project and digitalcoin long-term can easily be accomplished. See: https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/191

Cheers!

I got my one mining solo now...check the ports and appears the computer is listening on 7998 so i guess it is working. Only mining with my 7700 series GPU. How long do you think it will take to find a block? The hash speed is 208kh/s

My current calculations say 0.6 days

If you have a copy of the wallet before said transaction, you can just copy paste it in the directory of a V1 client.

Otherwise, copy your wallet.dat to a V1 client and run -rescan and/or -salvagewallet startup commands.

I'm no expert but here's how I see it.

If you delete the DGC blockchain and download it again while keeping your wallet intact the coins should either reappear or be resent on the correct blockchain.

I'm sure someone else will confirm this.

No. That was laszlo. I was on this forum back then though and I did offer to buy laszlo the infamous pizza.  

See: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1183

The pizza was purchased by someone else. With Bitcoins changing hands and private PM's at that time I only really give myself the permission to jest about indirectly purchasing a slice of said pizza - as per my current form sig.

As someone once said Bitcoins for pizza ? or Pizza for Bitcoins ? Its a mystery.

No one involved with crypto-currencies or this forum really owes me anything. The price is the price, right!

For various reasons, I'm one of the few early adopters who sadly didn't make it big. I'm here again to do my bit. I'm continually pursuing new ideas and concepts for crypto related projects and online privacy in general that I hope to make a reality some day soon. I'll work to earn my way up the bitcoin ladder again - its more interesting I guess.

Having the 2nd post in this thread is more of an honor for me than the whole pizza debacle - Topic: Welcome to the new Bitcoin forum!

See: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.188  (I do wonder exactly who was on the old Bitcoin forum   )

Some folks had to be the first forum members and I just so happen to be one of them. How randomly I discovered Bitcoin is sometimes of question even to myself. At one time I think the way back machine's stats show me as the 4th (or something) most active contributor to this forum - mostly ramblings. However, much of the potential for bitcoin and crypto-currency that was discussed in those early days - i'm pleased to know has since been made a reality by others.

Anyway, I digress and we all contiune ...

I remain the multiple and the multiplex.  

open DigitalCoin.QT and waiting sync then start cgminer.

I sent 28000 coins from a client which was on the old version of digitalcoind to my current version wallet. I didn't realise the client I was sending from was on the old version  .

Anyway, the coins didn't arrive in my new client wallet.

Is there any way to get these coins back??

Wait a minute, are you the 10000 BTC pizza guy? Everyone in this forum and outside owes you if you are. Put up a whiskey fund dgc btc and ltc address in your signature, man!

I'm pleased to announce that I've successfully added the digitalcoin - Portable USB project to indiegogo.com

See: http://igg.me/at/digitalcoin-usb/x/5215693

Backing for the project ends 32 days from today on Sat. 30th November 2013.

Please tell your family, friends and co-workers. Tweet about it, blog about it and/or anything else you can think of to promote the project and to further support digitalcoin.

Any questions, comments or suggestions please send me a PM (preferably via the digitalcoin forum).

digitalcoin forum topic: http://digitalcoin.co/forums/index.php/topic,203.0.html

Thank you for your support.  

http://dgc.xpool.net:8810 updated to client version digitalcoin-qt-v1.zip

Its always good to see new miners , some help for this guy friends,

When you start your qt , you have to start it in "server" mode to solo mine this is often done by adding a -server tag to the end of say the shortcut if in win via properties. 

Look up how to solo mine also look up a little about difficulty.

Tell us how you go.

Cheers.

What kind and how many gpus are you using? It would be a good idea to read up on some basics mining threads (for example about litecoin mining or any other scrypt coin) if you want to get into mining. Mining with just a cpu is possible, but probably no longer worth it.

ok, and i just have to let my wallet open. It will appear by itself?

One more question. The IP. I statet my IP as 127.0.0.1 in the .conf and in the cgminer -xx -xx --xx ... when I start i receive the text: No suitable long poll foud for http://127.0.0.1:7998

GPU: 0        | 6.700-6.800 kh/s-- does it mean i mine with my cpu? And will i ever reveive a reward with this rate?

If you find a block and if it is not orphan, you will see 20 DGC in your wallet.
