EmerCoin Development Team is pleased to announce that the long-awaited release 0.3.0 was held, within the deadline.
The last version of EmerCoin wallet you can download from our site
http://emercoin.com (for Windows(
http://sourceforge.net/projects/emercoin/files/0.3.0/emercoin-0.3.0-windows.7z/download), for Linux (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/emercoin/files/0.3.0/emercoin-0.3.0-linux.tar.gz/download))
Many improvements were done, but the main and most important – distributed trusted storage of general-purpose data (Name-Value Storage – NVS).
The NVS data is organized in pairs “key –> value”
Maximal size of key – 512 bytes, value – 20 Kbytes.
NVS is the system of common use and can be the basis for a number of services.
As such, we have implemented a distributed alternative DNS service.
A detailed description of the NVS, DNS and expected future services can be found here:
http://emercoin.com/DNS_and_Name-Value_Storage Also note that each EmerCoin purse has a built-in DNS-server, which serves for the alternative TLD-zones. Currently these are zones *.coin and *.emc, but it is possible to connect any other zones.
What’s new in EMC GIU-client:
Part one: Interface
New tab "Manage Names"Fields in order of appearance:
Name: Contains any printed symbols. If this name will be used for extensions of service (like dns: ssh: etc.), use standard characters of appropriate service.
Days: For how many days you want to register that name. Min - 1, Max - 9999. Upon expiration, the name can be taken by any EMC participant.
Window of operation type:
NAME_NEW - create a new name.
NAME_UPDATE - update values, change the owner.
NAME_DELETE - guess what could it be?
Value (0%) : The field to be filled with content. The percentage indicates how much space is already occupied by information. This field can contain ANY type of data.
Button "Import" - allows to choose any file (not more than 20 kb), to be inserted in the field "value".
New_address: field to enter EMC-address of a new name owner, available only in NAME_UPDATE mode.
Button "Submit": Confirms an operation.
Table "Names in your wallet": Displays list of your names. Fields are yellow when the name is just created or remains less than a month before expiry. Red field indicate expired fields.
Filters: Owned by me - displays only my names, Owned by others - displays names transferred to others, Expired - displays expired names.
Every registered name has its own EMC address. The new version of wallet makes possible to transfer coins directly to name (without address).
Part two - EMC services.Now you can register and manage domain names in zones *.coin and *.emc by yourself.
If you register DNS names, the records should correspond to DNS standards.
For example, if you want to register emer.coin as an alias to existing emercoin.com,
In field "Name" write:
dns:emer.coin
In field "Value" write:
A=192.241.241.153|TXT=EmerCoin main site
Where:
A - Server IP
TXT - Text comment Pretty soon we will release one-click installer, which will perform all settings automatically.
But now, if you are enough curious and persistent, after some rain dance you will see *.coin zones already today.
1) Download and install Emercoin 0.3.0
2) Launch, wait for sync, and exit.
3) Edit file C:\Users\
\AppData\Roaming\EmerCoin\emercoin.conf (if it doesn't exist, create a new one)
4) Add the next lines to emercoin.conf:
emcdns=1 # Activate built-in DNS server
emcdnsallowed=.coin|.emc # Handle only these TLDs
5) Download and install Acrylic (URL - http://sourceforge.net/projects/emercoin/files/0.3.0/Acrylic%20%28EMC%20pre-configured%29.7z/download)
6) Now run Acrylic as a service.
7) Change DNS server to 127.0.0.1 (look how to do it in win7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRUD4irlMXA ).
Leave secondary DNS empty.
Run EmerCoin wallet.
9) Go to http://emer.coin in your browser or just click it here.
If everything was done correctly, you will see our site in zone *.coin.
Congratulations! :-)
