Re: [ANNOUNCE] picocoin and libccoin -- C-based bitcoin library and client

Hi marcopal,

If you look at the code you will see that both the client (picocoin) and the block relay daemon (brd) both have a init_blkdb() function. This creates the emplty blkdb file.

brd also has a block_process() function which uses blkdb_add() for adding blocks to the file. This is what my query to Jeff was about in the previous post.

The client (picocoin) does not have a block_process() function so nothing more is done to the blkdb file after it is created.

Hi marcopal,

 Maybe this helps.......

Hi Jeff,

I'm trying to get my head around the brd.c code with a view to introducing LMDB to the picocoin project.

There's a few things I don't yet get. It seems that brd no longer stores blocks in brd.blkdb (it's commented out in code) but uses brd.blocks instead. But, there are still attempts to write to brd.blkdb, like calling blkdb_add(), which I think will always fail.

So, can the blkdb.c code be removed or does it just need a tidy-up?

blkdb is required and is always used.  It is the block header database.  It is kept in RAM, as bitcoind does.  It is optionally stored in a file, in addition to RAM.  It is optionally regenerated from the 17+GB blockchain file, if blkdb is missing

Actually, that reminds me. I never did have a go at adding LMDB to picocoin.

It still works?

Hi andrepcg,

Development on Aido ATP had been halted for several months years now so it is unlikely to still work.

"Pseudo anonymous" as it relates to cryptocurrency seems a silly term to me.

I totally agree, the correct term is pseudonymousSmiley

Quite happy where I am, the good old USA!

Ahhh, but are you happy because you don't know any better or because you have a wide experience of other countries and have made an informed decision.

A country named Jersey?  Are you referring to the state of New Jersey?

There is a country named Jersey. It is apart of the Channel Islands.


Methinks ALToids is perhaps being a tad pedantic?

Is Jersey a country?

Isn't the Bitcoin legality uncertain there?


As with nearly every other country I think.

Having lived in about 7 or 8 different countries on 4 continents and travelled through more than 80 countries on 6 continents I agree with this:

I did not lose much at all (0.0006 BTC or 0.001 USD) so no issues at all.

So it cost several hundred times more to send the card from Japan than the total amount you can claim for  Roll Eyes

Real sensible Mr. Kobayashi

  • 850,000 BTC officially "disappeared"
  • 200,000 found in "old-format wallet" or 23.5% of total. Mark Karpales says no more will ever be found.
  • OKpay and BitOcean propose to repay a proportionate amount + stock.

So, that means if you once had 10 BTC on Mt. Gox, then you'll be getting (10 * .235)  2.35 BTC back from OKpay/BitOcean plus some stock in a revived Mt. Gox under their new management.

Who gets the remainding (10 * .765) 7.65 BTC? Hackers, asset strippers, lawyers?

What if the reason MK is so confident no more bitcoins will ever ever be found is that there were never more than 200,000 BTC there in the first place?

or maybe you'll be getting 200,000 * Personal amount claimed / Total amount claimed i.e. for various reasons a certain amount will be unclaimed

Got a letter today from Tokyo District Court Civil 20th Division.

Written in Japanese with a footnote stating the English translation is on the following pages - but there are no following pages...

Any ideas?

The airmail is actually both in Japanese and English. Did you check how thick the paper is? It is because you can "open" the thick paper and inside that you find the English translation.

However, it seems like there is no more info in that airmail than what was on the mtgox.com website already.

In light of the current "51% attack" brouhaha raging on Reddit, how difficult would it be to add some p2pool mining functionality to the picocoin library?

All the core bitcoin and p2p functionality is there, ready to be built upon.

How close to the regular bitcoin code is it?

  • Supports all core data structures and network messages
  • Full script implementation
  • Passes hundreds of available reference client tests
  • Supports multiple block chains: main or testnet3
  • Written by bitcoin core developer

On a more serious note, I mentioned previously that I was investigating introducing LMDB to the picocoin project. Before delving too deeply into this should the OpenLDAP Public Licence used by LMDB be a concern when used in a MIT/X11 software licensed project like picocoin?
