Protocol switch!!

https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/pull/17 is accepted.

Based on Kimoto's change to the J-coins SSDRA Retarget system.

The protcol will also switch to 3 minutes block.

This happens 10k blocks after last switch. Block 87777.

From now that's 1957 blocks in the future.

I will build new builds within the day, and announce it as many places as I can. For those of you that have compiled yourself, redownload and recompile now!!

I was able to compile this version, but it crashes out after a bunch of orphan block messages, does something need to be done other than compile?

If you used 0.8 from before, delete your blockchain. We added some structure changes in the files, so when it reads your db it crashes.

Shall we contact the BitWasp dev team and ask them to support Anoncoin in BitWasp? BitWasp support I2P and TOR too. Here they are: https://m.facebook.com/BitWasp?id=404638142925188&refsrc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FBitWasp&_rdr

Great idea - and BMR too!

It was only the wind.

Is AnonCoin gonna be kept up to date with the latest Bitcoin? For example, the use of autotools?

Is it a multi pool problem or some other kind of exploitation?
If multi pool.. have you had a look at Megacoin's solution? (based on J-coins SSDRA Retarget system, but I think Kimoto changed something.. not sure)
It seems to be working very well.

I'm just very happy to hear that the implementation was a success. It helped MEC a lot and I think it will do the same for ANC.

Protocol switch #3 suggestion #2

Based on Kimoto's change to the J-coins SSDRA Retarget system.

The protcol will also switch to 3 minutes block.

https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/pull/17

This patch is the most likely to make it into production as it shows huge benefits in countering exploitation by the big pools, and stabilizing transactions. We are very happy with the way this patch behaves.

Testing using variable hashrates shows the difficulty adjusts according to plan. This will effectively take away the unfair advantage of huge miners like middlecoin pool by invalidating/rejecting blocks when the hashrate increases drastically. Only the blocks that fit the target will be approved, which will prevent instamining when the diff is low.

As a result the amount of blocks are more likely to be distributed evenly between potential "attackers" and the regular pools, as well as provide stable transactions.
The target time will be changed to 3 minutes, increasing the blocks per 24 hours from 420 to 480.

If anyone has any input (good or bad) regarding the implementation of this patch, we would like to hear from you ASAP.

Haven't read the source code to Megacoin, nor have I looked much. But thanks for the tip, I will bring it up with the rest of the team

We have tested it for some hours now, so far, awsome! This might be the change.

A mandatory upgrade is on it's way. The difficulty adjustment that is in place now didn't go so good that we expected.

Blog update:
https://anoncoin.net/blog/?p=24

Pull request (Protocol 3. Total rewrite):
https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/pull/16

I'll get back to you shortly with more information! If you'd like to contribute/say what you mean to the adjustments, with helping out finding the right percentage etc. Please visit https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/pull/16

or you can just comment in our blog post about the pull request! https://anoncoin.net/blog/?p=26 (Note; comments need manual approval at the moment, and can be slowly approved. But you comment still helps!)

Note: You don't need C++ skills here. This is adjustment and math.

I had to change the mydestination= in my config for some reason. It would not use it and would use a dynamic address. So heres the new b32 one:

viptekiiwmx4ibszmtkev5loexw2qonojgdtb7qdcct3mgeiowmq.b32.i2p

if you want the long one, PM me and I'll send it your way.

Also, here's my review on CoinCloud.no:

I love it. It is simplistic and Aesthetically pleasing to my eyes. I know it is in Alpha-Testing so I am not being too strict; I'm being strict enough.
I am able to quickly and easily upload files that I choose. There is a Calendar, and other things that you can fill in [I'm not sure right now because I'm unable to log in atm].

All of all, it's a pretty neat service for ANC. Keep up the good work!

Could you check if you could build Litecoin, Bitcoin or any other coin? Because this does not seems like a Anoncoin problem, more like a boost development installation problem. I guessing you will get the same error there as well.

Litecoin, Bitcoin and PPC I have build before upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 13.04...

Well, build them again just for testing, so you'll see that this is a boost problem. It has nothing to do with the Anoncoin client.

This could be multiple installs of boost, or just fuckup after upgrade.
I suggest you try uninstall all your boost libraries with:
apt-get --purge remove
and then install one version at a time, to find out which works for you.

I use boost 1.49.0 from the standard dpkg system on Ubuntu 13.04 as well, and it works fine here.
