2 2011-08-20 00:00:23 <CIA-101> poolserverj: - fix: duplicate work not being logged
3 2011-08-20 00:11:03 <diki> why does rpc.cpp take much more time to compile than any of the other files?
4 2011-08-20 00:11:15 <diki> its already been 15 minutes
5 2011-08-20 00:12:50 <Nicksasa> hmm so i generated a new genesis block trough multicoin
6 2011-08-20 00:13:28 <Nicksasa> updated hashGenesisBlock, merkleroot, ntime, nnonce etc
7 2011-08-20 00:13:30 <Nicksasa> but i get ERROR: CheckProofOfWork() : nBits below minimum work
8 2011-08-20 00:16:42 <sacarlson> Nicksasa: the minimum work is also setable
9 2011-08-20 00:17:26 <Nicksasa> i think i found my mistake already, used the outputted hashGenesisBlock as hashGenesisBlock in the code
10 2011-08-20 00:17:35 <sacarlson> Nicksasa: I'm not sure what you had nBits set to at genesis so I'm not sure what you should set it to
11 2011-08-20 00:17:38 <Nicksasa> but that should be block.GetHash eh
12 2011-08-20 00:18:00 <Nicksasa> sacarlson, i've set it to the same value that multicoin outputted
13 2011-08-20 00:19:42 <sacarlson> Nicksasa: like I said I don't know what you have anything set to so ??? maybe you have this value set too high ProofOfWorkLimit=32
14 2011-08-20 00:20:23 <sacarlson> Nicksasa: or is this with a merge mine setup?
15 2011-08-20 00:20:39 <Nicksasa> no
16 2011-08-20 00:21:10 <sacarlson> Nicksasa: so what is this value set to ProofOfWorkLimit=32 ?
17 2011-08-20 00:22:13 <sacarlson> Nicksasa: and what is this value set to block_nBits=486604799 ?
18 2011-08-20 00:29:14 <RealSolid> sacarlson: proofofwork limit is to ensure a certain amount of work is done, the more bits the harder it is
19 2011-08-20 00:29:26 <RealSolid> nbits im not sure
20 2011-08-20 00:29:56 <sacarlson> RealSolid: nbits is the value that the genesis block difficulty starts
21 2011-08-20 00:30:25 <RealSolid> perhaps
22 2011-08-20 00:31:07 <sacarlson> proofOfWorkLimit is the bottom that the difficulty goes as it measures itself
23 2011-08-20 00:31:28 <sacarlson> RealSolid: I speak of that what it does in multicion config
24 2011-08-20 00:33:08 <sacarlson> RealSolid: so how would you generate a new scriptPubKey before a new chain is created? just steal it from another chain set?
25 2011-08-20 00:33:41 <sacarlson> RealSolid: or I guess just create a random number that no one can collect
26 2011-08-20 00:35:00 <RealSolid> sacarlson: same way you have in your wallet.dat
27 2011-08-20 00:35:38 <sacarlson> RealSolid: but it's like what came first the chicken or the egg, there is no wallet before there is a chain
28 2011-08-20 00:37:18 <RealSolid> yes but public keys arent tied to a particular system per se
29 2011-08-20 00:37:24 <RealSolid> unless they arent using escda
30 2011-08-20 00:37:46 <RealSolid> ecdsa rather
31 2011-08-20 00:37:54 <sacarlson> RealSolid: well then you would need some tool to create a set for a new chain then
32 2011-08-20 00:38:50 <sacarlson> RealSolid: as they probly already exist then a procedure would be needed on how to use the tool to create the public private key set, how to store it and how to import export it
33 2011-08-20 00:39:55 <sacarlson> RealSolid: one of the pull request in MultiCoin is an import export for keys
34 2011-08-20 00:40:02 <RealSolid> yes or you can just use the app itself as it does it
35 2011-08-20 00:40:17 <RealSolid> to generate pub/priv keys for wallet.dat
36 2011-08-20 00:40:37 <sacarlson> RealSolid: it still needs to be imported into a wallet
37 2011-08-20 00:40:40 <RealSolid> but yeah its not for some laymen to just go in there and get the key
38 2011-08-20 00:40:47 <RealSolid> sacarlson: indeed
39 2011-08-20 00:41:25 <sacarlson> RealSolid: so that would be another use for the import export feature then
40 2011-08-20 00:41:35 <RealSolid> yup
41 2011-08-20 00:41:40 <RealSolid> you also dont mention alert keys
42 2011-08-20 00:42:06 <RealSolid> which is the same principle, basically allowing messages and whatnot to be sent by "Someone"
43 2011-08-20 00:42:26 <sacarlson> RealSolid: nope I never used them, do they also work on the bitcoind also or is that only for the gui?
44 2011-08-20 00:42:42 <RealSolid> only the bitcoin developers can send them
45 2011-08-20 00:42:49 <RealSolid> whoever the key owner is anyhow
46 2011-08-20 00:43:16 <sacarlson> RealSolid: I've glanced at the code for them but again I didn't know how to create a key set
47 2011-08-20 00:44:35 <RealSolid> theres also the stop key
48 2011-08-20 00:44:54 <RealSolid> unless thats tied into the alert system, i havent checked
49 2011-08-20 00:45:00 <sacarlson> RealSolid: cool to shutdown a client?
50 2011-08-20 00:45:44 <RealSolid> the network i believe
51 2011-08-20 00:46:11 <sacarlson> RealSolid: you can stop an entire network with a key?
52 2011-08-20 00:46:42 <sacarlson> RealSolid: why would you want to?
53 2011-08-20 00:47:25 <BitcoinForNewegg> BECAUSE YOU CAN
54 2011-08-20 00:47:32 <BitcoinForNewegg> and someone told you you couldnt
55 2011-08-20 00:47:47 <BitcoinForNewegg> why do people do anything noteworthy
56 2011-08-20 00:47:54 <sacarlson> BitcoinForNewegg: they should also add the key to format everyones hard disk then
57 2011-08-20 00:48:09 <BitcoinForNewegg> nah they cant do that
58 2011-08-20 00:48:14 <BitcoinForNewegg> see what I did there?
59 2011-08-20 00:48:28 <RealSolid> BitcoinForNewegg for president
60 2011-08-20 00:48:41 <BitcoinForNewegg> just say no u cant and I will do it
61 2011-08-20 00:49:09 <sacarlson> BitcoinForNewegg: lucky I don't run my clients as root
62 2011-08-20 00:53:25 <sacarlson> I'm having some problems with making a i0coin config for MultiCoin for something as little as the spanish letter I can't add to the config
63 2011-08-20 00:54:32 <sacarlson> aprobaci??n this letter "??"
64 2011-08-20 00:55:37 <BitcoinForNewegg> this sounds like a challewnge
65 2011-08-20 00:55:49 <BitcoinForNewegg> create a key that erases hard drives form limited user
66 2011-08-20 00:57:06 <sacarlson> BitcoinForNewegg: that challenge has already been done 1000's of times by viruses, it's not that hard
67 2011-08-20 00:58:21 <sacarlson> BitcoinForNewegg: and since I see a majority of users still use windows OS it gets scarry how easy it would be
68 2011-08-20 01:07:40 <CIA-101> poolserverj: shadders * dd1f87bf2483 r29 /doc/config-samples/local-daemon.properties: - update sample properties file to reflect recent changes.
69 2011-08-20 01:07:41 <CIA-101> poolserverj: shadders * bc5f9d3f20cb r30 /etc/lib/lib_non-maven/ (4 files): -commit updated libs, missed in previous commit
70 2011-08-20 01:14:17 <jjjrmy> BitcoinForNewegg: Hi
71 2011-08-20 01:14:30 <jjjrmy> Anyone good with Google App Inventor?
72 2011-08-20 01:14:53 <sacarlson> so my attempted fix for the pszTimestamp spanish letter problem aprobaci"??"n was to add an option to enter the pszTimestamphex so you could in theory enter any coded text from the config, but it still won't work, even when I compare the original value to the new
73 2011-08-20 01:15:34 <sacarlson> if (strcmp(pszTimestamp,pszTimestamp2) != 0) shows the original matches the new entered with hex
