we should find more places to advertise the great benefits of XCN.

No, it's because those shitcoin people spend all their time and money on promotion and marketing so that their premined coins can be sold for a hefty profit. All they care about is whether or not people buy their coin and push the price up. And it's sad because many of the top ranking coins are not there due to their innovation or merit, but simply because they had a strong marketing campaign.

My main focus is not promotion because I don't treat Cryptonite like a business. But I am doing what I can to spread awareness of Cryptonite, I've done several interviews and most recently my goal is to get XCN accepted by one of the altcoin payment processors so that I can create a market around XCN and give people a reason to own XCN apart from just holding and hoping the price goes up.

Cryptonite is and always will be an open source community project, not a company owned by anyone. There will never be a "Cryptonite Foundation" because history shows that those types of centralized organizations are easily corrupted and are the antithesis of P2P technology. My point is, this is a community effort, don't expect us to do everything. We are all responsible for the success of Cryptonite.

NO. Its because those shitcoins release new stuff all the time even if its just announcements, good coins think they can not do anything and people will magically buy the coins.

Exactly. The dev has made the coin i.e. 99% of the work.

If the coin has genuine value in the market, and it does seem that way, it will catch on.

Most people are okay with spamming shitcoins but have a healthy distaste for pumping better coins.

Dude like what?  You do something ... lol o.0

How bit would the bit coin blockchain be under the cryptonite implementation?

Wow Wtf, this is disappointing. This coin probably interest(ed) a lot of people. Dev can you PLEASE do something to this coin to make it popular.

I mined a few weeks after launch, thought it was going somewhere..in another 1 month like this itll be completely dead. PLEASE DO SOMETHING I  BEG OF YOU

Well I was unable to contact coinpayments.net directly because they don't provide a contact email address, but I was able to use their coin request form and told them that I have a proposal which will benefit all parties involved. Hopefully they will respond soon, but if anyone knows of any other good cryptocurrency payment processors which accept a wide range of coins, let me know and I will send them the same proposal.

someone should make some tee shirts or hats   cryptonite hat would be cool.

People are slow to learn or quick to forget. The Russkies are doing exactly what the Chinese did. In a few days or so news from russia will tank the bitcoin market, russian exchanges will mysteriously end up with a huge increase in physical control of bitcoin.

Actually looks like govts conspiring to distribute bitcoin among the 3 major poles.

All Alts are down because of BTC crashing. Contrary to 99.9% of Alt(shit)coins out there, XCN will always own great fundamentals. Im not concerned at all and will buy more soon for sure.

Sent my donation to bitfreak. Still mining your coin like no tomorrow. This is the only reason for me to keep my farm running at a loss now.

I believe 5.3 should work, give it a try and see. But to be on the safe side you should build with 4.8.

I'm hesitant to repost the XCN announcement on other forums because I don't have the time to keep track of multiple Cryptonite threads on different websites. I'd rather most discussion was kept to this thread until I create our own official forum. But if you want to repost the XCN announcement in other places don't let me stop you.

To bitfreak, I would like to say a sincere thank you for this contribution.  It seems to me the bitcoin community may have rushed to work on 2.0 apps before work was finished on a solid 1.0 money app.  A digital money that can scale to global use by billions of people (isn't that the goal?)... and IMO money is THE killer app in this space.  So thank you, bitfreak, for having your priorities straight!  Also, I still just don't trust PoS systems. After all, that's exactly what the Federal Reserve banking cartel is... a PoS system.

I'm running on an Arch Linux system, so I got the source code from GitHub and built it.  So far, cryptonite-qt seems to be running like a champ, it synced to the network very quickly (as compared to my experience with bitcoin-qt).  I even ran it with setgenerate turned on for about 16 hours with all four of my laptops CPUs cranking... but of course I didn't get any blocks.  I aquired some XCN on BTER to try out the wallet, but I want to ask a question first.

When running the configure step of the build, I got a warning about my Berkeley DB embedded database system version.  In fact, I had to rerun configure with the flag "--with-incompatible-bdb".  The build wants version 4.8, but on my system I have version 5.3.28-2.  How important is this?  Do I need to go to the trouble of rolling back my Berkeley DB to the older version?

Finally, I would like to offer to help out.  Is the BTC address on page one of this thread still valid for contributions?  I'll send what I can.  Also, I have about 18,000 LTB coin I am willing to donate if you find that useful (to go toward a sponsor token or for some other purpose).  Do you think it would be useful to repeat the XCN announcement on the LTB community forum to raise awareness?  I really want to see this succeed.

Well I believe the blocks are downloaded and validated in a simultaneous fashion, so it's not quite that simple. I think it's mainly just because there are faster Bitcoin seed nodes which allow the blockchain to be downloaded at very fast speeds but there are several different factors playing a role.

Bitcoin should have many more transactions though, and that's where most of the work of validating should be.

Figuring this out would likely require some profiling but it sounds to me like something about Cryptnite is bogging down a bit here.

Try running -resync and adding the nodes listed below. If all else fails then sync using cryptonited and then once fully synced switch to cryptonite-qt. For some reason the sync process in Qt seems to be a bit buggy, especially on Windows.

174.6.46.186:8253

Like I said, unless you wait several weeks you wont really notice any advantage. Syncing once per week is the same as syncing once per day overall because you're not skipping any blocks unless you wait more than a week. If you wait more than a week before resyncing that's when you will see a difference because it will only download the last 10k blocks. Stay offline for 10 years and try to sync and it will still only download the last 10k blocks (and account tree), but that doesn't mean it's missing any data, it can still be a full node and do anything a full node can do because of the way the account tree summarizes the entire state of all addresses and since transactions become instantly spent when applied to the account tree.

I'm new to XCN. I downloaded the wallet this morning, but now it's stuck on being eight days behind, after leaving it open all day. I'm using win64_cryptonite-qt_14091021.exe.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

I open my wallet only maybe once a week, but it's syncing pretty fast, can't complain about the speed here.
