As DNS you mean mnemonic name such as www.domain.org?

Do any of them have any DNS, even a no-ip.org type DNS, so we can use them in the DNSseed part?

Also, the IP address array has them coded somehow, I am not sure exactly how, what byte order it uses for instance...

Another two seeding devcoin nodes up:

107.20.209.11:52333

107.20.228.112:52333

in addition to existing 50.19.210.139:52333.

In the meantime is anyone interested in blogging on Rejuvepedia for Devcoins?

Oh damn I only just noticed IXcoin ...

OK I have started hashing again

I'll do my best to help you guys reach block 9000 .. seems silly not to finish what I started

Tomorrow I will set up two more permanent seeding nodes. Necessary ports will be opened.
These servers (instances at the amazon EC2) are pretty fast and have permanent IPs - so three nodes will be able to provide seeding fast enough to feed requests for blocks from hundred of connecting clients.

Received.

Of course we need them. I have four nodes running behind my NAT router but the stupid router does not work with the UPNP lib so no incoming ports. We especially need nodes with incoming ports.

The post didn't have to be particularly informative, the bounty doubles for "informative".

I was not sure if this post is informative enough

Here is the address: 1Fhex5BvBGaChJqK75Z6MPxtK9muSsScKC

P.S. I can set up two more seeding nodes (in addition to existing one) - do we need them?

Shattienator, maybe I simply missed where you posted the address to send your bounty/bounties to?

I think I am basically watching/waiting for actual addresses to sent to for a number of posts that have happened without indication of what their receive-account is?

-MarkM-

Is my post #24 can be classified as minimal one?

P.S. Devcoin node at 50.19.210.139:52333 was offline for some time but now it is running and have active 6 connections. Block number is 8286 right now.

Because purser accounts lead to problems, the receiver_2 round is the last round with pursers.  In future, bounties will be paid directly from the generation share of the next round.  The conversion rate for already posted bounties will be 5,000,000 DVC per developer month share.  For example, a bounty of 1,000,000 DVC would be 1/5 of a developer month share, and a bounty of 100,000 DVC would be 1/50 of a developer month share.

The current remaining bounties of 100,000 DVC for a minimal post and another 100,000 DVC for an informative post remain, those are the last defined bounties.

Thank you very much.

I have extracted the key for the address:
19piwg8kyW5unDpLjYjbvE6GGvtAfghT8c

I am going to be periodically draining that key, usually one million devcoins at a time, until the extra 22,500,000  purser coins are drained.  I will leave a balance of one million, but please don't use that account until all the purser coins have been extracted because that might lead to invalid transactions.

Until then, if you want to send people devcoins, please use the wallet on your other machine.

Yeah but I guess the conflict basically is were/are you actually interested in devcoin, which it seems is quite a well defined project roadmap Unthinkingbit already has laid out, or in some hypothetically or even superficially similar project that might or might not interest those of us who are working on devcoin?

-MarkM-

OK I am back home now. I have e-mailed the wallet.dat file to you.

For what its worth I had shown the seeds of expressing interest in starting some new bounties. One for a devcoin logo the other for a devcoin linux based live CD:

http://www.devcointalk.org/index.php?board=5.0

Thank you for replying.

I mean the key for the address:
19piwg8kyW5unDpLjYjbvE6GGvtAfghT8c

You can extract that key from the devcoin wallet by using the modified version of bitcoin tools which incorporates Matt Giuca's privkeyimport:
https://github.com/Unthinkingbit/bitcointools

or you could also use Jackjack's pywallet:
https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet

the instructions for which are in the Pywallet section at the bottom of the post:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.432697

The easiest way would be to send the wallet which has that key to:
[email protected]

I'll extract the key then delete the wallet. 


I'm going to extract the 22,500,000 extra devcoins from this generation round, the rest are yours.


The wallet from that machine would be the one.  You can send me the wallet or try to extract the key.


Those are your devcoins, I do not want those.  I only want the wallet or key from the first machine.


Thanks for telling me roughly when you can send them.

Yes I am at work and just logged in as its quiet at this time of night. I definitely did not intend to steal anything. Please let me know what you need me to send to where. What do you mean private purser key?

I am just going back and reading your posts. Boy you sound angry dude. Sorry if I have upset you. You can have back all the devcoins if you like. I'm not even going to do any sums.

My most recent wallet.dat files are at home of course so please wait until I get home. Then its probably better if I sleep before sending them to you to ensure I don't make a mistake so I do this when I am fresh. If you want to send me any instructions to help me do this then that would be excellent.

To confirm some more details though I was mining first on a machine with 2 6870's which is the one that generated the address I gave you which the bounties and everything else went to. The other machine was my main machine which I later started mining on with a 6950. I believe it has about 2 million devcoins but I will need to double check when I get home. Do you want these as well or just all the devcoins from the first machine?

I may be able to send coins to you when I get home but I usually get home from work about 1am. I work a long way from home and don't own a car so get home via train and bus.

You have the wrong idea about devcoin and the wrong idea about being a purser.

The coins you get into your purser account are not yours, they are for the other developers.  Since you have not returned them, you are now taking devcoins from open source developers.

You must now send your private purser key to Mark or I.  It should take less than ten minutes to extract.  If you have any trouble extracting it, please post your issues and someone will help you.

If you did not answer because you were busy, that's fine; but please answer quickly, this issue must be resolved soon.

Use multicoin-qt and multicoind would probably make sense to pick up the parameters from config file stuff, also the merged mining if that is working for them now.

Exchanging to fiat currencies is a painful can of worms, part of the need for lots of different blockchain based tokens coins whatever is to get away from fiat currencies and all the crap associated with them. If only a few of the blockchains bother to maintain an exchange directly to and from fiat and being able to exchange to and from fiat is so darn important or valuable then those that do might find their exchange value tending to be higher than that of ones that do not. That is fine. When I stumbled upon bitcoin in the first place I was looking for software that would allow players to buy and sell things located in different places, and most of those things were expected to be in places where the planet known as Earth is thought to be a myth, so it was quite expected that most of those places would not be featuring currencies from planet earth in their "stock exchanges" (where by stock exchange is meant generically the forex, commodity, bond, stock etc market; prerequisite facility being bank though interestingly maybe not market so maybe commodity market need not be assumed).

Leaving fiat out of it is great, it is part of what makes bitcoin and namecoin stand out from the crowd, as those two become gateway coins or tokens, the "chips" players who are planning to "cash out" are likely to value more than various "chips" players who are in for the long haul or in for reason other than to suck the livelihood out of the peasantry, using currency to exploit them and import all of value from them and export any famines and droughts to them and so on.

Some people actually prefer that value be acquired locally within a world or nation or community instead of being beamed in from firstworldia by aliens/foreigners who never come right down in the trenches / dungeons/ paddies getting muddy / killing monsters / planting rice and pulling weeds with the locals on an equal bases of an equal among equals. For this reason (though admittedly also others) one already sees some worlds / universes whose players/inhabitants are told by their rulers / power that be / oppressors not to sell local valuables in return for fiat currencies from the planet known as Earth.

-MarkM- (Like the Iron Curtain but maybe Iron Screen? Glass Screen? Glass Wall? Fourth Wall? Virtual Curtain?)

I like the idea of competing block chains, which is why I downloaded and compiled devcoin to start with.  I imagine it will get mined if it supports merged mining,  but I don't yet see it acquiring an exchange to fiat currencies. 

Rather then just changing the port numbers, how about making one merged client that can support both (and more) currencies,  using parametrized config files or modules, and multiplexing over the same port?

Seems some mined blocks did take, but it 2/3rds become orphaned.
