Thank you very much for your support. We appreciate your help!

here is a link you can sign up but I have made it so I have to approve users so I can accept them all when the devs are ready

>  http://www.sexcoinforum.org/


if you have any content you think should be added you can post as a guest and I will approve it

All the restrictions will be removed once the devs are happy

What is the link?

Hi guys the sexcoin forum has been up over a week and am still waiting for your ok to make it public please let me know

Thanks

Zack

Hmmmm Thinking of doing a few things, because at this point, I'm no technical help at all. Except with testing. Just have the miners site to tweak a bit and we won't be going live until it can't be confused with the official site.. I was thinking..

The "Zombie bonus" isn't being laid to rest as quickly as it once was.. might open up the movie quote part to just anybody.

and..

I've been hot to trot on a SXC motto contest since day one... we don't need it, and it might attract the odd troll, but I think it would be a hell of a lot of fun... so much so, I'm willing to put 6969 SXC on the table.. most popular motto wins by public vote, ends when it starts to run out of steam..

(Yes , I have no life) ..

And we have a winner !.. Well done that one was a bit more difficult than usual.. Normally I know the wallet addresses off the top of my head, I'm not sure of yours.. Post or PM it so I can send you your winnings.

pineapple express?

haven't read your description, so forgive me if i assume something wrong. But my idea of a portable app would be to store the client on the USB drive that gets executed on plug in. The USB drive would also store the "db", peers data, etc. I believe QT has to call the windows API GetSpecialFolderPath. Just search the code and replace. Also do not write into the LOG by default or you'll run out of space rather fast.

That's really no problem, and honestly it can be done with the present client, using a 'crafted' blahcoin.conf and 'crafted' shortcut. One of the things that has always annoyed me about the coin client is that lack of 'pathing' flexibility out of the box. I think one of the reasons for this is that, in Linux, all of that stuff is very easy. Take this for instance:


Then in sexcoin.conf you set the datadir and bingo, instant jump drive.

Windows is just different. You don't want to open a command prompt to start an app. You don't even want to edit a shortcut. The 'windows' way is to open a config dialog, or set your pathing on installation. Then there's the issue of needing write access. IMHO, Windows has made their OS so secure that only malicious software can do anything on it anymore. So, defaulting all the pathing to %AppData%\Roaming\% is the best way to INSURE that your released app with have the access it requires.

This is something we plan to address.

That brings up the next point:

Windows uses its swap file extensively, and this is the part that is a real challenge. How can you be SURE that unlocked wallet data isn't left in the swap area...in plain text? Its not TOO impactful on your own PC, but whoring that jump drive all over internet cafes is another story. I don't know the answer to that issue at the moment, it warrants more investigation.

But seriously, the idea is worth the investigation and effort!

Many thanks for your positive feedback, just one point,

What about the files written to the C:\Users\(blah)\AppData\Roaming\Sexcoin directory?

The subtlety of PortableApps is they are written to a directory on the external drive (which means the PA version needs to be configured to ensure these files aren't left behind on a host computer - you don't want to leave part of your wallet/earnings on someone else's computer)

Regards,

As the sun sets you'b better beware ...

Well, don't I look stupid now  , saw a dip and panicked..

Maxpower is the man for Mac builds...

@Timelord2067

I just read over your portableApps description. That's an excellent idea!
Just put it on a jump drive and plug it in 

Do be sure to send me a personal invitation when you launch your Spooky Coin. 

?? 32 or 64?
I just pulled the windows client. What error are you getting?

Windows download doesn't work

I have 43k of SXC that I'd like to sell. Send me a PM with any offers.

gr33k's pool's frontend was down for maintenance, he left an announcement in his 'news' section. Its back up now.

As far as the network hashrate, its always been up and down and I don't think this is any different. Its still healthy and the average is twice what it was two weeks ago.

Dev work can get quite frustrating at times, especially when you don't see the 'meteoric' rise that sometimes occurs with other coins. However, and this is one of the things that I find very encouraging about sexcoin, we have seen steady upward growth if you draw a 'best fit line' through our hashrate (I have a job that's been tracking it since I put up the blockexplorer), and the number of people contributing to the thread. I like that, and it tells me that the coin is not run of the mill crap-coin. I really enjoy working on it, both the pools and the client.

I think I may have gotten the reputation for being too cautious, probably because I've been a professional in IT for about 17 years and I've seen what can happen in the development cycles. Bottom line is, I NEVER trust code, or hardware, especially code that was written by someone else, unless I have a sincere command of what the coder has written.

That being said, perhaps its time to let people know.

I have a client that addresses the desync issue, I'm setting up a test-net this weekend to be 'extra' sure that it works. A short explanation of the desync issues is that our addresses are unique, but the actual p2p network that passes messages back and forth from client to client are not. We are on litecoin's 'network'. The sad part of this situation is that I have found no less than 7 other alt-coins that have made the same mistake. I feel the need to remind people that the current dev team had NOTHING to do with the initial release, we picked up a dropped ball. IMHO, the fix for this is not for the faint at heart. We have to re-define our network, and do it in a way that doesn't destroy all the mining and transactions that have already taken place. This is the source of the desync and also the 'forking' that plagued the coin in its early stages, along with a failure to properly set the difficulty at startup.

I want to say this again, I've got the fix in place and am testing it through this week. So far it has tested successfully.

If anyone wants a more detailed explanation of the issues, feel free to ask.

More great news: I am currently adding 'features' to the client that some people have expressed would be desirable. So I see that NOW is the time to ask everyone:
If you have some 'wishes', post them here. "I wish I could do XXX with the client" or "I hate that it does XXX"

We are dedicated to making the client and coin AWESOME!

Also, we are still working on a Mac build, and are beginning designing the architecture of a mobile client. These are a good bit off. If anyone has some experience with Mac builds, we need your help!



 

There's a few around here that appreciate the hardwork you and the team are doing .

Guess in this community there are pockets of those working and creating, surrounded by a zillion leechers.....guess thats the nature of it all though.

I did notice the types in the crypto community change alot after btc became priced to stupid levels verse the USD
