Topic: METAL MUSIC COIN V3 - A COIN FOR THE UNDERGROUND METAL MUSIC SCENE - page 4. (Read 75296 times)

Cool thanks for your suggestion.

we are still at https://yobit.net/en/trade/MTLMC3/BTC you can trade your metalmusic coin there

I will put the site live again and the digital store soon.

HE IS ALIVE....

I would:

1) Get the coin up to a more modern codebase. The old code with the size of the current blockchain make it somewhat of a resource hog
2) Change it from scrypt to something else. Or do something like the random spike difficulty like NENG [ https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nengnengcoin-litecoin-on-steroids-scrypt-for-all-miners-5027091 ] has to prevent it from getting hammered by miners.
3) Get it on a small exchange and see how it moves.
4) Some indy music sales through a digital store?

Hey guys adrian here im the developer and owner of metal music coin. i am very glad that there's still some people who mine the coin and supporting it.

I need your guys opinion and suggestions to further develop the coin.


Cheers guys Keep the Coin Alive.

I feel your pain about "free time" I have over 20+ side projects sitting out there that need to be worked on and the list keeps going.

The NDL pool is still down due to hardware, and even now that I should have the new stuff in this week the odds of getting it done before the end of the month are just about zero.

-Dave

i have this silly delusion in my head that 'one day' i'll find time to build a new wallet/daemon based on modern code.

hahahaha

(i kept NDL running for about 3 years before someone found the energy to update the wallet and get exchange listings.
 so, ya never know!)

the network for this coin is very very weak, i run a fulltime node at

and an explorer at

http://coins.dognose.net:3003/

The coin is alive and that's good. Many 2014/15 coins are already dead. Let's hope that metalmusiccoin will answer us

There have been no updates on github in 5 years. The original developer has not even been on the forum for 4 months and their last post was over a year ago.
Like many scrypt / pos coins of the 2013 /14 /15 era it's just out there and there are a few people playing with it.

I'm not sure why DNP keeps it going, I just keep a node up because it really does not cost me anything for server space / bandwidth.
If you look there are a lot of coins like this. Just one or 2 people keeping them alive for nostalgia or personal reasons.

-Dave

I thought the coin had normal developers, but it turns out amateurs...

What problem are you seeing?
I was on block # 3032081 with 2 connections:

23.233.55.92:25931 (DNPs node IIRC)
194.5.157.188:25931

I then set up a moonlander 2 to mine to my node and got a few blocks and it shows on DNPs explorer.
What block are you on and who are you connected to?
Keep in mind it's all for fun at this point. 99.9999% sure this coin is going nowhere unless someone really takes over development and promotion.

-Dave

Network problems?

The metal (engl) explorer is temporarily down for maintenance.
http://coins.dognose.net:3003/#recent

Does anyone see any movement on the chain since Saturday?
Just glanced at my node and it's showing 3009490 as the last block number, which was Saturday night around 7PM my time.
Don't know if it's my node or if something else happened.

-Dave

Who else believes that this coin will be on the exchange?

thanks 

It looks like 23.233.55.92 / 23.233.55.92:25931 is active.
IIRC that is DNPs node coins.dognose.net
Not sure if mine can be seen from the outside world. 74.113.36.2 I don't have any port forwarding going on but it might be open through upnp.

Let me know if you can get to it, if not I'll forward the port.

-Dave

 any working nodes out there?

what sort of information are you looking for?

last october i took the 1.6 version of Iquidus from https://github.com/iquidus/explorer
(which has since been updated a lot by it's developer)
and added features/changes that i personally wanted from an explorer -- at the time of my
decision to do so that Iquidus explorer looked completely dead in the water for future development, it was a surprise
to me that they woke up and did a newer version at the end of last year.

Iquidus is used by a lot of coins as an explorer, but i've always found it a bit minimal.

Of course some people think minimal is a good thing. There is no doubt my changes added a lot of system overhead and resource usage the original Iquidus does not consume. It also puts out a lot more data making it rather unsuitable for people with expensive mobile data connections.

my focus was on the 'metrics' (richlist) page, i wanted more than one kind of list, longer lists, and pretty charts.
i also wanted the ability to 'trace back' transaction inputs to do simple forensic tracing of curious transactions (forensics not motivated by MetalMusicCoin but by other coins i dabbled in.)

I did explorers for several coins, each who's blockchain found problems and bugs in the explorer code.

here is an example of such a transaction input traceback: http://coins.dognose.net:3003/traceback/0a22c478e2117a251e5406aa5028a718dabc1eabb9d0829b7cc00897ccd4ca58
pretty much everything in that traceback is clickable for further information.

all this is currently running on my personal Linux system and i'm constantly running out of disk space, so you may see the explorer not updating for a few days sometimes until i notice and make more room for it.
i'm planning on paying for a VPS to host this modified explorer for any coins that want to pay me real money for such a service.
but for now, its basically a lower priority personal amusement and hobby in my spare time.

i also added some built-in "help" documentation. although it is very minimal at this time and will accept suggestions on what
type of things could use some documentation.

if you click on the tiny question-mark icon on the bottom left of the main page, you will see what little documentation is
available, and the first item is the "Change log."

eventually, when i find time to clean up my own coding and remove a lot of dead-end experimental code i will make the source available.

thank-you!

Splendid explorer
