Where market is this votecoin?

No market yet. This is waaaayyyy before ICO even. If you mine this you need to understand: You never know - this might never hit the market. So mine and/or help at your own risk. But if it hits the market you already have hundreds - if not hundreds of thousands - of coins already. It's a gamble. But with great potential to make a ton of money.... Wink

It works fine for GTX 1060, GTX 1070, GTX 1080ti for me on Windows 10 Drivers: 384.94

In new excavatoor(i run 1.2.11a) config looks different, mine *conf.json file is like that:

Code:
[
{"time":1,"commands":[
{"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["equihash","pool.votecoin.site:3333","t1NMhTYNDcyx19pvhFWpYCAAsewzV34GC77.1060_komp"]}
]},
{"time":3,"commands":[
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]}
]},
{"time":10,"loop":10,"commands":[
{"id":1,"method":"worker.print.speed","params":["0"]},
{"id":1,"method":"algorithm.print.speeds","params":["0"]}
]}
]
Works with GTX1060 Smiley

Just copy paste and chage to your wallet address, be sure that you modify default_command_file.json as it is the default config file.

Thank you. That worked. Also mining with a 1060 now.

i have 1 mining rig with 4 GTX 1070. waiting for windows wallet
You don't have to wait, you can do as I did:
- download VMWare Player (free non comercial use)
- download ubuntu 16.04 LTS ISO

Install WMWare Player and create new system on it, pick the downloaded ISO and the only thing you have to configure is capacity on hard driver(I suggest about 25GB)
Than you will be able to create wallet as on VoteCoin project's GitHub instructions.

It's easy.

Once you create your wallet, you can start mining on Windows mining software.

Thanks a lot. Will try.

Hello guys,


Why my balance got stuck on 40.81 on http://votecoin.homepool.xyz

Do I need to do something? or any issue with the pool??

There is quite some delay. Just moved the wallet to server with lot more RAM.

Hope it'll catch up soon.

Great, Thanks or the prompt reply Smiley

I can confirm that it has been cleared now, thanks a lot Smiley

Never though I would be able to do it since I have no clue about Linux (first time today!!) but I set up a node and will let it run every now and then. Hope it helps get the network a little faster. Already did more than 23k transaction confirmations. Started extremely fast and now slowed down a lot. I guess you needed me... Wink

But:
Can anybody post a full .bat file for Windows mining with Excavator or any other Windows miner? I'm trying but Excavator gets stuck while initializing. Getting AMD display errors (and have Nvidia).
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Used Claymore and CCminer until now for other Coins and got them to work.
Used both votecoinmine.site pool versions mentioned here (with Stratum and without) but none worked.

Thank you for help.



Zec Miner 0.3.4b
Code:
:mine

miner.exe --pec --server pool.votecoin.site --port 3333 --user t1*** --pass x
goto :mine

It should be possible to cross-compile the VoteCoin sources on Linux to get an EXE file which can run on Windows (thanks to mingw). I believe that zclassic has some way how to do that, but we were not able to use it:
https://github.com/z-classic/zclassic/blob/master/zcutil/build-win.sh
I believe that having just votecoind.exe and votecoin-cli.exe could be more than sufficient for most people now. But we need to find a way how to compile this ourselves, we can't distribute precompiled EXE file made by somebody else.

Last time we tried, it complained about db_cxx.h not found, even if it was in /usr/include ...

If the interest is high enough, I might want to develop a web wallet.

Just so that people can start mining.

But keep in mind that it would be without any warranty as it would just be a hobby project for me. Don't know how secure this could get, as I need to dive into the working of ZCash core. So probably just for mining until a windows or OSX wallet is available and then you'd be advised to transfer funds. Just as you would do with large amounts on online exchanges, or at least as you should do ;-)

Please let me know if there is interest in such a thing?!

hi, please advice,
is it any Windows wallet? as i can see it's only linux now.
so i can't mine without address

There is no windows wallet available as of now. Yes, you can mine without an address but on someone's else address and you probably won't get your coins. So, getting your own address is a must. Follow the guide, set up votecoin node, generate an address, backup private key and you're good to go.

I can confirm that the guide on github works flawlessly on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server, after you finished Building & Configuring your node create an address with this command inside the VoteCoin dir:
./src/votecoin-cli getnewaddress

Then you can start mining with the pool using this parameters (for example EWBF Miner):
./miner --server pool.votecoin.site --user YOUR-ADDRESS --pass z --port 3333


A few minutes and i see the hash rate on the worker stats.


Now what i expect from the developers is a detailed explaination/whitepaper (i cannot download it from your site) so we can see what makes the difference between the other 99999 coins around with always the same features

Open another terminal while the node is running and generate a new address. If you already have an address, just run
Code:
./votecoin-cli z_getbalance *address*
inside src directory.

Thanks for help, I tried to use it on Windows bash shell, and that is the reason why it did not worked.
I took another approach and installed VMware player and ubuntu on virtual mahine, and than I got my address Smiley
Now mining with excavator on Windows Smiley
