Greetings to everyone I just want to inform you there is one active node on this IP = 176.57.189.39
In order to add it you can either enter this command in the client(spaincoin-qt) console:
Code:
addnode 176.57.189.39
or add an entry within file spaincoin.conf like this:
Code:
addnode=176.57.189.39
. This file can be found in the
.spaincoin folder under your user's home directory. If you choose the last option, the client wallet must be restarted to setup the new config.

If you don't have the client spaincoin-qt, I was able to compile it for UBUNTU DESKTOP 20.04, I assume it can be used in others as well.
Click the link below to download it:

https://mega.nz/file/sloEWYKB#PXuqlcAqexaruBcqhwb5bv91hgsScmn-hydnBJCbLxE

So as to be able to use it, please read and follow the next instructions:

1) Copy(download) spaincoin-qt into a folder with permissions.
   You can rename it if you wish, but then use that name for the remaining commands.

2) Open a terminal inside the folder that contains spaicoin-qt, enter these commands, parenthesis are not part of the command:

3)
Code:
sudo chmod u+x spaincoin-qt
(grant execution permission)

4) Adding bionic beaver repositories. Here They are the libraries that I used to compile the client wallet using qt5
[Now yo can pick one of these methods to include the repositories. Second one is less cumbersome]
   METHOD 1:
      1) Install gnupg and keys
                 
Code:
sudo apt install gnupg
(if not installed yet)
         
Code:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32 871920D1991BC93C
(in Debian, kali)
      2) add repositories using add-apt-repository command
                 
Code:
sudo apt install software-properties-common
(if not installed yet)
         
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted"
         
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal main restricted universe"
   
   METHOD 2:
      
Code:
sudo echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
          
Code:
sudo echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal main restricted universe" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

5)
Code:
sudo apt update
[update the repository cache that we've added in the previous step, it's mandatory to be able to install the new packets]

6)
Code:
sudo apt install libqt5widgets5 libminiupnpc17 libdb5.3++ libboost-system1.65.1 libboost-filesystem1.65.1 libboost-program-options1.65.1 libboost-thread1.65.1

7)
Code:
./spaincoin-qt

Aside Note: This has been tested on  ubuntu desktop 20.04 with gnome 3 and you can still use it in a virtual machine or WSL under Windows 10

If anyone wants to compile it by theirselves in the creator's official site in Github there are tutorial and manuals with instructions
but I have had to struggle a lot in order to make it work. This way you can dowload the source code and compile it by yourself.
I can post how I did it if there is enough interest.

I haven't found any exchange yet, there is another coin with the same symbol SPA but it is not Spaincoin. There is an exchange called graviex.net that works with bitcoin, litecoin forks
among others. I think they use a kind of voting system to accept the client wallets , even former or dead coins.

I don't have a clue about programming the source code of this wallet, is not my programming language and too many files. I just have some coins from the past and I dont want to waste them.

I know the ideal thing to easy management would be migrate this project coins to an ERC-20 token inside a smart contract on Ethereum, cardano or similar ones

Hope that helps and someone accomplishes to connect to the node. Another thing is than someone snoops in this room after so much time.

Be aware that if anyone wants to reach me for dm or wants to talk to me, I'm not a native speaker.
