Topic: [GRP] GRouPcoin - page 8. (Read 28430 times)

Any Windows client for this coin yet or still no devs actually doing anything to cater for many people who want client ?

addnode=198.154.60.183
addnode=188.165.216.59
addnode=192.99.0.153
addnode=37.139.4.19

Note that groupcoin doesn't appear to have a "getpeerinfo" function, but you can see the IPs it has connected to by doing netstat and looking for port 51333.

... and BAM now I'm in. Thanks so much!

Will try to remember to post some more IPs once I've synced, in case others are having the same problem.

198.154.60.183

Been about 3 days now, debug log has not changed since I posted the above. The client is running, but it's not trying to connect.

Anyone got some peer IPs I can put into my conf to try to get it kick started? groupcoin is the only thing holding me up from opening a new account on bitparking.

Is there a seednode for the "new" coin, or can someone throw me some peer IPs? I've compiled the client, debug.log says it's connecting to 142.68.82.127, and then...nothing. It doesn't report connect success or failure, nor is it trying other IPs. Apart from a wallet.dat flush that's the last thing reported in debug.log in the past 12 hours. Why isn't it persisting in trying to connect?

edit: ignore for now, I was trying to compile two coins at once and thought it was groupcoin that was failing. It wasn't. hurrr. Sorry.

where is the windows client?

Good work! I'll give it a go.......

I've made github page and made groupcoin to work actually with newer version of uPNP libs:

Feel free to send patches, comments or suggestions...

Use Virtualbox with a mint-image. Then you can run it on windows practically. There will never be a win gui since this coin is practically dead and outdated.

Any chance to get windows version? With GUI if possible...

It works! Finally... The two new commands were correct and with some testing with the commands in first tut post i now have an address. 2hypBHFzRxUsvuu79xkqSYpcx7Bs4xBsYfD

And it downloads blocks.

Thanks a lot!

@markm... i asked in your server thread but didnt get an answer yet... is your digitalis-server more active now? I read that in the past not much trades were going on and wonder if its worth to go through the hassle to install the OT-Client. When its silent on there i wouldnt invest time but maybe its lively there now?

I would try using the linux client then since i had so many problems with the windows version that i dont expect that it will run fine in near time.

SebastianJu, I also encountered the issue you're facing.  Try:


Turns out I needed some more items to build successfully:


It appears to have built groupcoind successfully now.  It's downloading blocks.

Mine already worked, I just think one had to say bitcoind instead of groupdcoind as what to build.

The GUI might not be feasible to build anymore due to even if you manage to get the correct ancient version of wxwidgets that in turn might have depended on ancient versions of everythig else on your system resulting in gosh knows how many things you might have to use ancient versions of in order to get that ancient wxwidgets to work.

Basically groupcoin is a daemon-only coin as far as I know, unless someone does want to wrestle with that ancient wxwidgets GUI system.

Just make sure to mention you want the daemon compiled, that is, bitcoind, or if someone has hacked your copy of the makefile to change the name from bitcoind to groupcoind, then groupcoind.

I never changed that name due to there are many makefiles for many systems and I did not want to imply they all had been made up to date by hacking just that name when, for all I know, tons of other things in other makefiles might also need changing. I figured best leave the original bitcoin makefiles so people can see that they have not been changed so they can figure out that whatever they do to such old makefiles for bitcoin to make them work the same updates will be needed in these to make these work.

So I just rename bitcoind to groupcoind after stripping it after making it before moving it to /usr/local/bin manually for use.

Also I personally do not even use makefile.unix because it lacks the -mt suffix on the boost libraries and it doesn't force use of my custom openssl that includes elliptic curves, so for all coins first thing I always always always have to do is copy makefile.unix to makefile.fedora15 or makefile.fedora16 or makefile.fedora17 or whatever version of fedora I am up to by then and hack it to tell it about the boost libs suffix and my custom openssl because fedora deliberately leaves elliptic curves out of its openssl packages. For some coins I also have to tell it to be permissive about the order in which declarations happen, because the compiler on fedora is strict so doesn't like the code of some coins, at some versions of the coin. So in general, you might well need to make a custom makefile for your specific version of your specific operating-system.

Some versions of some coins I have sometimes also had to add -ldl too to make it link libdl, as some versions of some coins have sometimes failed to link because that lib was not specifically mentioned. The linker usually says that what is causing the error is in that lib so when that lib needs adding it is made clear that is the case by the error message given by the linker, on my system. I dunno if all distros of all operating systems have linkers that helpful though. I guess whatever version of whatever distro makefile.unix was originally created for some other lib already causes it to include libdl without the makefile having to mention it, or maybe does not use libdl so does not need it or something. Need for it seems to vary from coin to coin and/or version-of-coin to version-of-coin over the years.

Im not sure what you say but will you change makefile so that it works?

Seems the default make target is the wxwidgets GUI not the groupcoind.

Building with the specific ancient version of wxwidgets that old code used is hard, even if you grab the exact right version of wxwidgets.

Trying specifying to make groupcoind or maybe even bitcoind if makefile wasn't hacked to change name of target from bitcoind to groupcoind.

Now that i0coin has been updated so nicely it is time anyway for all the other merged coins to update themselves based on the new i0coin code.

Hm, i tried all the new commands but when i try the new make command i get this error:
I then deleted the new makefile and reused the old but the errormessage remains. Does the files have to be in a special directory? Im using Mint 14 in VirtualBox if that matters.

Regarding Snowden... im not sure Linux will help there. When the NSA cant be stopped by the TOR-Network anymore, then reading that Germany is the country the NSA is working the most with and then read that Germany is the first country that literally legalizes Bitcoins i had to think of a connection. I mean who is Satoshi Nakamoto at all? He created a currency that is a party for agencies... Of course thats a conspiracy theory only.
The only possible security gain linux might give are missing backdoors and vulnerabilities. Which is a serious issue for sure when people dont have their money at a bank account anymore but instead in a wallet on their harddisc. I see many tears coming from that fact in the future.

Heh, disregard my previous babble, in the new makefile the "ifdef USE_UPNP" part is commented out, so it will always compile without upnp.

Yeah listen to K1773R, seems there's a reason for his avater this should work even with the original makefile (did not test it though)...


...or use the new one, couldn't be arsed to really check the diffs, way too many posts for this coin already anyway. ;P

this is way easier!
