The Van Kush Family Project will be Creating a Mining Pool ASAP, we are not in a Situation to begin this Currently, but over the Next Few Weeks a lot of Thing should Change where we are much Better Situated.

I wanted to have this here, because we will be making a Cryptonote Mining Pool, then as we Teach People to make Hive-Engine/TribalDEX Currencies, we will also Encourage them to make ETH Clones and Cryptonotes, and we will have the CryptoNote Pool Ready, as well as our Own CryptoNote that they can Mine.

We will have a Community of Mining Pools and Currencies, all Hosting themselves on HIVE, BLURT and STEEM. A Renaissance of Blockchain, as if it was 2012 or 2014 or Whatever again and for some Reason it is like that because no one Ever Learned any of this and now we are Basically Starting Over. But Bitcoin is there in the Background like a Guillotine waiting to do what Markets do, just Change and Change.

The official CryptoNote repository has been updated to include smart genesis block creation. Previously, it was required to comment and uncomment some parts of the source code. With our new currency creation flow, genesis block coinbase tx hash is created as follows:

I would like to know where that code is and was originally so that I can work on a clone/fork that didn't have the more advanced method. aka  --print-genesis-tx..

I haven't been able to find any documentation on creating the genesis block by the method it was created before that method was added to the code.

Do we need to install something on peer node which we use for P2P communication? In the cryptostarter guide, nothing is mentioned on this.

When all the data and settings command "make" in the src folder, run the coin, and simplewallet.
Then say:

Code:

Greetings,

Today is a big day for CryptoNote technology and every coin that is based on it. CryptoNote reference code repository has been updated with an additional submodule called “cryptonotewallet”.

This step marks a start of new era. Every CryptoNote coin will be able to have a GUI wallet with all necessary features on its start. As a prototype to the first CryptoNote GUI wallet, we’ve used Bitcoin QT. As a well-known solution: simple yet familiar to all cryptocurrency users interface was transformed to suit CryptoNote needs.

Here is a preview of a new wallet:

As you can see, we didn’t change Bitcoin QT interface. Start screen contain all necessary information: balance, unconfirmed balance, number of transactions and recent transactions.

“Send coins” and “Receive coins” tabs will allow you to transfer your funds to any destination you want. Your address is located on “Receive coins” screen. Also, we’ve made some small changes to the Send coins screen compared to Bitcoin QT.

Please note: your wallet is not encrypted upon creation. You should encrypt your wallet through Settings menu > Encrypt Wallet.

Transactions screen will show you transaction that you’ve sent and received and “Address book” will help you deal with a big CryptoNote addresses in most effective way possible.

We are confident that CryptoNote GUI Wallet will help every CryptoNote coin in particular and CryptoNote environment in general.

Today we’ve updated CryptoNote Foundation repository with 1.0.2 update which includes a lot of improvements to API, network and much more.

Read full news here: https://cryptonote.org/news/2015/4/23/cryptonote-reference-code-update-1-0-2

CryptoNote reference code release notes 1.0.2

- Multisignature with API

Multisignatures provides user with a possibility to create an address associated with several (M) owners. In order to access funds on this address one would have to provide  N (of M) signatures under the different keys. It also enables convenient way to  create trustless services such as escrow (2 of 3 sigs) or web-wallet (2-of-2).

- Low level API

Updated Low level API provides users with a possibility to easily operate a transaction creation process: select inputs for a transaction, contains various methods for transaction signing.

- High level API improvements

This update have increased the modularity of high level API. It is now separated in three different modules: INode, IWallet and ITransaction. API is now much faster and much more stable than before, supports ordinary and multisignatures transactions.

- Updated block reward scheme

Before this update penalty was imposed only to block reward and now it’s imposed to both block reward and commission.

- Dynamic maximum block size limit

This feature was introduced to protect blockchain from bloating.

- Instant transaction pool notifications

Instant transaction pool notifications provide user with a possibility to find out their locked amount as soon as transaction is sent, not when it is included into the block.

- Transaction priority based on tx fee

Bitcoin-like feature, the more your commission is the faster your transaction will be included into the block.

- Transactions are returned from tx pools after 24 hours

To ensure that transaction pool won’t bloat out of proportion, all transactions that has been in the tx pool for 24h (and were not included into any block) will be removed and funds returned to the owners.

- Fully refactored simplewallet

New version of simplewallet, built on updated High level API - serves as a showcase of what new API can do.

- Transaction history for simplewallet

Updated transaction history for simplewallet, now it shows much more information about the transaction you’ve sent, such as: fee, block index, unlock time, timestamp etc.

- Reset command for simplewallet

Reset command allows user to reload the data from a Node. This will allow users to unlock their outputs in case their transaction wasn’t included into the block and was sent back to them.

- Faster wallet refresh

Faster communications between wallet and daemon. Including faster synchronization with daemon and other various improvements.

- Further optimization in daemon RAM consumption

This update brings less RAM consumption to CryptoNote. Now users will be able to start CryptoNote-forked coins even on a low RAM PCs’ without any difficulties.

- Config and CryptoNote forking how-to update

More detailed and comprehensive instructions on how to fork CryptoNote, establish a config that is the most suitable for you and finally launch your CryptoNote currency.

3. Someone else other than the CN devs is pulling #2. This was my first thought. Wink

4. This is the long awaited 'solution' to the bloatchain - instead of a few big ones, have dozens of smaller ones. No idea.

5. This is prep for a ScamNet style vapourware cross-chain multiphase paradigm warp topology telepod meta-CN 2.0 IPO/ICO/CFC/WTF. You know it's only a matter of time.

Monero is #2 in terms of coding at the moment, but it catches fast.

It is not that easy to create a cryptonote from this website, i have been there even it take weeks to get reply from their forum and you will hardly get assistance from the forum member.

1. CN devs actually believe their own spiel, want to broaden adoption and understanding of CN coins. Not entirely implausible.

2. CN devs are attempting to dilute the market of all their cloners, possibly prior to releasing a new coin or new features of their own, as they're still the only ones that actually understand the code. Might have the desired effect and costs nothing.

Well Spoetnik question was not cryptonote question. But why they gave this technology for everyone to make a cryptonote coin. If you belive their words it makes sense. But there still is question who they are.
Most BBR and XMR community will say, they are connected with Bytecoin and also with other Cryptonote coins. But can also not be true. Yes they said they worked close with Bytecoin in past, but when Bytcoin focused strictly on their coin, they parted.

What bothers me most is if all what they say is true and i more and more believe it. Who are they? Just random people that love their hobby or some organization that hate centralized world. Maybe one day no one will ask who Satoshi was, but who Cryptonote team was.

Spoetnik, i was today on Cryptonote forum and saw they made an account on this forum and actually today first time read this thread. On your last question that basicly BTC-Mike lead you to it is simple answer. Well unless you believe in conspiracies as most here does anyway.

We're not surprised with your response.

First of all, I suggest you re-read our philosophy: https://cryptonote.org/inside.php#philosophy

CryptoNote mission is to provide you with the tools that could be used to subvert the paradigm and decentralize the international financial system. Such radical innovation should not be grown from within one center, it requires a lot of contributors to become a trend. We are concerned with strategic issues of the whole platform not a single coin, which is only a tiny part of the ecosystem that is being crafted at the moment. The advent of CryptoNote allowed to create first truly anonymous currencies, but the goal is to create a fair financial system.

We have stated it multiple times and I'm going to repeat it once again, we will never launch or maintain a real currency. We've opened this opportunity for the community to create and grow their own CryptoNote coins and let the market and developers teams decide which one is going to succeed and become the main CryptoNote currency. We're not jumping on this "train", we're working hard to create the rails for it and won't be lured away from our mission. That is why we are not going to specifically promote any of the existing currencies, and you have to face it.

Unfortunately, the community is using decentralized currencies but still operates within centralized financial system frame. While proponents of Bitcoin or any other particular currencies try to focus their efforts and create yet another centralized financial asset, we envision a much larger picture with a lot of co-existing cryptocurrencies, corporate currencies, private currencies, community currencies, niche currencies, etc. Consider Auroracoin and how it was proposed to educate Iceland on cryptocurrencies and create liquidity out of nowhere. This trend will be reinforced with more and more national and regional coins launching. A truly decentralized financial system requires a number of stable and fair currencies, not a single one.

According to our roadmap it is time for new CryptoNote currencies to emerge so that the whole CryptoNote platform becomes more stable and diversified. Apart form what I've mentioned above, this will also lead to more significant contribution from the community and much faster technology development. We're already working on the crypto protocol documentation to help you, but this will take some time. What you are largely misunderstanding is that CryptoNote is still relatively raw as the technology and requires more attention to gain momentum.

Having said that, CryptoNoteCoin will not be a sustainable coin. You can be sure that we know what we are talking about. Actual implementation may vary. For instance, genesis block will be changed everyone month, which will break the previously mined block chain. We'll also give a way a lot of the coin for free for the newbies to give CryptoNote a try and then move on to the currencies that you create or support.

That was pretty funny Spoetnik but you should have photoshopped in our names under the characters pics.

I would like to be on the picture but I'm French so Spoetnik would have to change the flag in the background.

Very funny anyway.


i think the funny part is the questions i asked ignored.. par for the course around here.

anon name changers scared ..hiding.

and that sounds like a lot of work ...i am lazy Sad

Also, can someone give a quick summary of the process needed to create a new cryptonote genesis block. Thanks.



ya good idea not sure i will though i am lazy..

and OP.. use test net ?
explain to me why you need to create a pile of forks / clones to find bugs ?

i was not flaming or trolling in the slightest and i asked questions and they were ignored.. good job hiding.

your attempt to discredit me and what i said earlier failed.
it's not about me is it ?
it's about cryptonote and i asked questions about Cryptonote of you actually read what i asked..
so i ask you to refrain from discussing me on the forum and stick to the topic of coins please.

i bet i will get the BFL answer..
Testnet does not make us money LOL
that was what BFL Asic company said when a staff member asked the boss why they don't burn in on TestNet.

so be a man grow some balls and own up to your clone coin posting here and answer the questions.
a full list of all the Cryptonote clones would be a good start.. AND who made them.. did you make any of them ?

Where do you set the initial difficulty?

Where is genesis block chain stored?
