I think he means spamming the block chain with thousands of tiny (in coin value) transactions to bloat it (and cause other problems that come as side effects).

can you define coin spamming for me please? I am not familiar with the term.

What measures are in place to prevent similar coin spamming as is currently happening to Litecoin?

Cablepair has been awarded the two share bounty for making the third devcoin block explorer:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.540071

He'll get the shares in round 6.  The current round 6 bounty shares are at:

The Devcoin Block Explorer is Now Live:

Ignore this question, for some odd reason I was under the impression that it's CPU mining chain. Powering up my GPUs, that should do the trick.

Hello!

If you are interested in Pooled Devcoin mining I have an option for you:

http://pool.devcoin.org

It is not 100% completed yet but it is very close, and you should be able to register a worker mine dev coins and get a payout with no problem

for now point miners to pool.bitminersunion.org port 8999

Let me know what you think!

Mining away at10KHash/sec. After not finding a block for 24 hours I was wondering how long it would take (statistically). I came across the following extract

time = difficulty * 2**32 / hashrate

from the page at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty

Does this formula also apply to Devcoin?

If it does, then I am getting worried cause: Getinfo shows difficulty of 592 -> time=592*2**32/10000 = ~3000 days

I deleted the wallet and the DB files as well as downloaded the CSV files as you mentioned. It works now.

An observation I made during the loading of the blocks. from block number 11199 onwards I get to see the following error message a couple of times:
 Number of pages in getCommonOutputByText: 3
 Insufficient identical pages in getCommonOutputByText.
Could not get the page: http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/receiver_4.csv
Exception: Host not found (authoritative)

From then onwards the block download speed drastically reduced to a few blocks per second only.

Hi Kumala,


On second thought, it may have something to do with the receiver files.  In your windows machine, try trashing the devcoin folder and trashing the devcoin folder in your home directory (which contains the wallet file and receiver files).  Then reload devcoin from Galactic Milieu:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/galacticmilieu/files/

and download these files into your devcoin program:
https://raw.github.com/Unthinkingbit/charity/master/receiver_2.csv
https://raw.github.com/Unthinkingbit/charity/master/receiver_3.csv

naming them receiver_2.csv and receiver_3.csv, they should be in the same folder as receiver_0.csv and receiver_1.csv.  Then run devcoin again and post what happens.

Cablepair has been awarded the bounty for developing the devtome wiki:
http://devcoin.btcwebhost.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

Devtome is an open source wiki where the contributors get a share of the advertising revenue, converted to devcoins, plus a devcoin generation share. There are no notability requirements for the wiki, only the usual no malware, porn or scammy stuff.

At first, anyone can register for the wiki, and if someone adds scammy stuff they'll be booted off. Eventually as the wiki becomes more popular, scammers will purposely target it, so to stop scammers new writers after that will have to send an email with their first article to register.

All contributions to devtome are considered to be released under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (wikipedia license). You are welcome to contribute stuff from your own website or blog, you just have to show that you have the rights to whatever you're contributing, or the original license is compatible with the ShareAlike license.

Now everyone can write an article on any subject, and get paid for it in devcoins.

Please port over articles from your website or blog.  The more stuff you bring over to devtome, the more revenue will go into devcoin, and the sooner your devcoins will be worth a lot.


Cablepair wanted the 4 share or 40 BTC bounty in bitcoins, so I sent him 40 BTC:
153627 - 40 BTC - http://abe.john-edwin-tobey.org/tx/b20bad415825253283aae67449c259899eef2a59e7d11504d7f135ba4b3f577f

and provisionally I will in turn get four extra generation shares in round 6.  If anyone wants up to four extra shares, I will trade them at 10 BTC/share, until block 20,500.  The round 6 receiver file will be made at around block 21,000.

I sent the 10 BTC for the domain names out of my own bitcoins.

If anyone else makes a devcoin wiki, they will get 3/4 of the bounty, the next 2/4 and the last 1/4.

Twobits tried making a windows version a while ago and ran into the same problem at block 11999.

I don't know why there would be a problem on windows and not on Linux.

Official Devcoin Wiki is up!

http://www.devtome.org

I am trying to get a devcoind running on my PC at home running ubuntu 11.04.

I compiled everything and the daemon is running and downloading blocks. Once it reaches block 11999 I get the error message (using getinfo):

Errors: WARNING: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade.

The version shows "32400".

Any ideas?

Check this post with the nodes and their addresses: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.451400

These three nodes are running 24/7 and all required ports are open.
If any problems connecting these nodes - please PM.

Who is actally running devcoin with incoming port open?

I just got rid of my three spare computers thgat had all been running all the various blockchains, and now, without other machines of my own for my devcoind to talk to, I am only able to mine for about an hour or less before devcoind starts claiming to have zero connections.

I stop it and restart it - am thinking of using cron or just a timing loop to do that automatically even it seems so reliable - and get 3 or 4 connections, but within an hour or so it is back to zero and I have to restart it again.

What could cause that? Are the other machines out there only tolerating a connection from me for a while then rejecting me or what?

Or is no one running 24/7 with an open port so they can be connected to?

It seems weird, if it is just random coming and going of people who only appear on the IRC channel briefly then leave or something, that I can so consistently get 3 or 4 connections again when I restart. I do even manage to get a block sometimes before the connections evapourate.

Would having more 24/7 nodes with open port help, or are the connections going to keep evapourating regardless?

I have not noticed this yet with any of the other blockchaisn I have been runnning, but I haven't actually gone through them all checking yet either.
