Hello Alexander, is the source code available somewhere?

The setting of the min and max exchange rates is up to you. Each time the mining script submits exchange requests, it can possibly result in selling CredaCash to another user, or buying CredaCash from another user. The minimum rate should therefore be set to the minimum amount of BCH you want to receive for each unit of CredaCash the script might sell, and the maximum rate should be set to the maximum amount of BCH you want to pay for each unit of CredaCash the script might buy.

In order to mine, the maximum rate you set must be higher than the current rate on the exchange. The current rate on the exchange is 0.000488, and since 0.000698 is higher than 0.000488, the values you have set will currently result mining. However, if the rate on the exchange rises above 0.000698, the mining script will no longer be able to mine at the maximum rate of 0.000698. It will then instead start to submit non-mining exchange requests at your minimum rate of 0.000694 in an effort to push down the average exchange rate until it gets back under 0.000698, at which point the script can resume mining at a rate under your maximum rate. However, exchange requests at 0.000694 are unlikely to push the average rate on the exchange down below 0.000698, and in that event, the mining script will continue to submit non-mining requests until it is stopped. If this happens, you might have better success with a wider range of rates. The specific range is up to you however, based on the rates at which you are willing to buy and sell CredaCash. You can watch the console output of the mining script to see if it has started to submit non-mining exchange requests in an attempt to push down the rate on the exchange.

Yes, it can take 2-4 hours or longer for the match to be paid and confirmed. If not confirmed after 12 hours tho, it will report an error.

What does the autopay script window say? Shortly after the mining script says "Found test match", the autopay script should say "paid match". After that, the mining script is waiting for the BCH payment to get 12 confirmations on the BCH blockchain, which can take a while.

I can't see any reason why you would get ReadTimeout timeout from HTTPConnectionPool at port 19828. This port is not used by any of the CredaCash software. I would suggest downloading a clean copy of Python 3.8.20 from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3820/ and seeing what the script does when run under this version of Python.

There is also no reason the mining script should be attempting to query pending totals for btc (see "params":["btc"]), since btc is not involved in mining. The mostly likely cause of this is an incorrect setting in one of the configuration files. If the script doesn't work under Python 3.8.20, we would be happy to walk you through each step of the mining instructions at https://CredaCash.com/mining, starting with an unmodified version of the CredaCash software and configuration files to determine what is going wrong.

I'm not sure I understand. Do you want to do something different than the exchange-mine.py script included with the CredaCash software?


It is possible that the mining script will sell all of your CredaCash or BCH, if another user is using the exchange to buy or sell CredaCash. For this reason, the mining script allows you to set the minimum and maximum rates for trading on the exchange. Then if your mining requests match another user and result in a net buy or net sell, the net buy or net sell will occur within that range. Note you can also set an amount limit and trade frequency in the mining configuration file, so any trading will happen over time.

We updating the mining instructions at https://CredaCash.com/mining and hopefully they are now easier to follow. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or run into any issues.

The buyer of CredaCash gets the mining rewards. So it is possible to mine by only buying CredaCash, without selling it. The script does wash trading using the "trade" exchange request, which is equivalent to offsetting buy and sell requests. This could easily be changed to use the "buy" exchange request, which would result in only buying CredaCash. (The specific line that would need to be changed in exchange-mine.py currently reads "submit_xreq(s, 'trade', ..." The word 'trade' would need to be changed to 'buy'.)

Yes, mining is now based on using the exchange to trade BCH and CredaCash, so you need both BCH and CredaCash for trading. The basic steps described in the instructions are:

1. Run the CredaCash Node software.
2. Run the Bitcoin Cash Node software (v27.0 is included with the CredaCash software).
3. Wait for the CredaCash and Bitcoin Cash blockchains to fully sync.
4. Deposit BCH into the Bitcoin Cash wallet.
5. Obtain CredaCash (which you don't need to do if you already have CredaCash).
6. Edit the CredaCash exchange configuration file to set your minimum and maximum acceptable exchange rates.
6. Run the CredaCash exchange autopay script.
7. Run the CredaCash exchange mining script.

The mining script attempts to do wash trading, but if there is an imbalance between buy and sell requests on the exchange, the wash trade requests might result in a net buy or sell, within the exchange rate you specify in the configuration file.

We will take another look at the mining instructions at https://CredaCash.com/mining and see if they can be made more clear.  Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Greetings! In preparation for the upcoming GUI wallet, the CredaCash project has released a new version of our core software. This version corrects an issue with partial settlement payments on the integrated exchange. This change affects the transaction consensus rules, so the new version is required to maintain sync with the blockchain.

The new release is available at https://CredaCash.com/software/, and the source code is published on GitHub.

If you have any questions or run into any issues, please let us know!

and this works?

ccwallet.exe was tested with wallets from 2019, it should work fine.

The file CCWallet is in your current directory? ccwallet.exe doesn't normally look for the wallet file in the current directory. What does the debug output line containing "DbConn::OpenDbFile" say?

The possibilities I can see are a configuration issue, or you're not using the correct wallet file, or the wallet file is corrupted.

I suggest download the sqlite tools from https://www.sqlite.org/download.html . Then extract the files and make sure you can run the program sqlite3.

Next, run ccwallet from the command line like this:


ccwallet will output some debugging info to the terminal. The second line should be "DbConn::OpenDbFile" with the full path of the wallet file.

Now try opening that same file using sqlite3, like this:


and if it opens, check the schema using the command:


and then try the command:


What do you see?

There should be a GUI wallet within a few weeks, we'll definitely let you know...

Hello everyone,

Greetings,

We are pleased to announce the release of v2.0.2 of the CredaCash software. This release fixes a floating point rounding issue. Windows binaries are available on our website at https://CredaCash.com/software, and the source code is on Github at https://github.com/CredaCash.

Exchange mining of CredaCash currency remains active. Approximately 20 million Creda has been mined since exchange mining started on 6-June-2024, and the average exchange rate has increase from 0.0002 to 0.00045 BCH. Approx 99% remains to be mined, so this is a perfect time to acquire CredaCash currency through exchange mining. Instructions are available on our website at https://CredaCash.com/mining

Thank you for using CredaCash, and if you have any questions or run into any issues, please let us know here or via our website at https://CredaCash.com/contact

Thank you,

Greetings,

We posted a software update to resolve an issue that caused the node software to halt at block level 1299246. The issue was an assert statement triggered by floating point round off when checking the rate of an exchange request with a fractional amount. This issue did not result in any data loss or corruption.

The software update has been posted as v2.0.2-rc1 on our website at https://CredaCash.com/software. If there are no other issues, we will do a full v2.0.2 release shortly.

If you have any questions or run into any issues, please let us know here or via our website at https://CredaCash.com/contact

Thank you,

Try "ccwallet-eval.exe help", or try "ccwallet-eval.exe --interactive" and then enter "help".

The command to get the wallet balance is "getbalance". CredaCash uses the bitcoin model, where the wallet can have multiple addresses. The command "getnewaddress" will give a new unused destination for receiving funds. (In general, a destination can only be used by one sender. The wallet will not send funds to a destination that has already used by someone else.)

This message will appear if you run ccwallet.exe without telling it to do anything. In that case, it will simply terminate without taking any action. In order to get ccwallet to do something, you need to either (a) tell it to respond to interactive commands entered on the console; and/or (b) tell it to respond to RPC commands; and/or (c) give it a command on its command line.

Note that all of the batch files in the v.2.0.1 release include both --interactive and --wallet-rpc=1, so when these batch files run ccwallet, it will respond to both interactive console commands and RPC commands.

The default wallet location for mainnet has not changed, it is still %LOCALAPPDATA%\CredaCash\CCWallet-1 and the wallet file name is still CCWallet.ccw. If your wallet file is no longer at the location, you would need to locate it and move it there, or set --datadir and --wallet-file to point at the wallet by using either the command line options or editing ccwallet.conf. (Note that if the wallet file is totally lost, it can largely be reconstructed and the funds recovered from the master secret and password if you still have those.)

The software at https://CredaCash.com/software/ contains two executable files ccnode-eval.exe and ccwallet-eval.exe. These are full compilations of the source code, without any technical limitations, but in order to limit legal liability, they are licensed for evaluation purposes only. If you are only using these executables for evaluation (for example, to sync and query the blockchain), then you can use them with mainnet by simply editing the batch files. The source code is also published on GitHub to allow anyone to create their own executables (which the build script will name ccnode.exe and ccwallet.exe).

Thank you for your inquiry, and if you have any additional questions or comments, or run into any issues, please don't hesitate to contact us.
