Riecoin and Huntercoin to rule all!
Thursdays come by soo quickly.


I couldn't agree more...

I'll mention some of the features of the new client so everyone can understand why it's taking so long:

- Coin Control!  if you want to, you can choose the inputs for your tx when you send RIC
- Payment requests - this is a whole new world: we'll have "riecoin:" URIs
- new makefiles (autotools): build with "./autogen.sh; ./configure; make"
- New receive coins workflow, with invoices

And all of these that can we applied to RIC will be applied: https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.0/README.txt
Of course the new openssl will be used, and we'll have Riecoin specific optimizations.

This sounds great but don't make too many commitments right now. One at a time Cheesy. Can we get a rough estimate of when it will be ready? Like 2-3 weeks perhaps?

Hey Gatra, I posted the android app code up on github if you can take a look on parameters,etc. Sorry to bug you but need assistance.

https://github.com/AshleyDDD/riecoinj

https://github.com/AshleyDDD/riecoin-wallet

The params I see on the repository are identical to the originals from bitcoin. Are you sure you pushed all your commits? which branch are you developing on?

Oops, I did not push all commits. Sorry about that. I will do that later today. The only problem I have is when I change the nonce to 0, the app crashes on me.

northranger is spot on with RIC. It is not a coin that a traditional pump and dump or scam feature coin. It provides, real, sustainable additions to the science community. To that end, a fast explosive growth pattern would not be conducive to stable, long term growth. Future development would include stratum support for sure and the addition of more pools to increase mining adoption rates.

At least I think that's what we are going for?

yep, useful features (like coin control) will be included, but I think we don't need PoS or decentralized exchanges (at least as they are currently implemented in other coins) or other features which I consider of "dubious fairness" (requiring IPOs or skewing rewards in an obscene way towards early adopters).
we do have a huge list of developments to do compiled in riecontalk, right?

Hello, dga. Maybe this will help you with b15 windows crash problem.
There are next lines on riecoin_process function:
Code:
uint32_t pending[PENDING_SIZE];
uint32_t pending_pos = 0;
for (uint32_t i = 0; i < segment_counts[loop]; i++) {
    add_to_pending(sieve, pending, pending_pos, segment_hits[loop][i]);
}
pending array has no initial values and it causes memory access violation, program crashes at start(on win by default it has all values more than 3 billion). It needs something like that
Code:
for (int i = 0; i < PENDING_SIZE; i++) { pending[i] = 0; }

Agh!  Thank you so much for spotting this.  I've killed my main dev machine for a few hours but I'll get this fixed tonight.  I thought I'd already fixed that bug, but I think I fixed it incorrectly.

Valid bug - I'd fixed it in one use of pending but not the second - but it's not the one that's causing windows to hang.  Still seems like a thread deadlock.

Fix for this one committed to the github repository.

I know you said you thought it would help float difficulty above 1700 but it seems to keep hovering right below that still...what are your thoughts on this?

I think next lines have initialization problem too.
Code:
// scan for candidates
    riecoinPrimeTestWork w;
    w.testWork.n_indexes = 0;
    w.testWork.loop = loop;
w variable needs w.type = TYPE_CHECK;
On windows it will never start to check candidates.

damn thinking there was news on android wallet... ah wel, moving on.



Good luck on future endeavors! Cheesy

I am new to android so I'd like to test things about before actually releasing anything to the public in case I screw up.

Well I think northranger is close to finishing it...don't move on just yet! Smiley

I think I am. A lot of renaming files...Like at least 50-70 files. Could write a script for that but I don't want to accidentally do anything wrong so I am doing it manually.

what are the plans for future development?
··

I'd like to start off with this is purely my opinion.

What do you mean?
If you mean if Gatra plans to modify the code to make an decentralize exchange, switch to PoS, or something similar, I don't think that'll occur simply because Riecoin doesn't need it.

If you are talking about improving Riecoin by fixing bugs, making sync time faster, then a new client is in the making and more fixes are sure to come. That is what Bitcoin and other successful coin aiming for currency is about.

Riecoin is unique and not another Pump and Dump coin. The community is trying to make it a currency, not a stock option. Flashy addition is not necessary in my opinion and shouldn't be added. Widespread merchant adoptions will be the goal.

I hope that answer your question.
