Big things will come, lets see where these new connections will bring IOC. I'm interested in what you think about the upcoming technology, any thought is welcome as well.

Hey no problem, this was from the beginning ment for people to use since i was vexed that i couldnt find a single step-by-step guide to make my own coin, shoutout to the thread starter too, nice !

Here's a complete guide on creating genesis block, how to edit the source code and control the network: http://www.theseus.fi/bitstream/handle/10024/123896/Sikorski_Timothy.pdf?sequence=1

I just bought a ton of cheap IOC to stake, which is something good that came out of this at least. As for the delist, there has been something fishy with poloniex for a while. This could be a paid thing to lower the IOC price before DIONS release or something similar..Polo has a history of disabling wallets during or at the beginning of pumps to make it easier to pump, propably bribed by the pumpers etc. Weird errors that continue weeks on end, I decided that even though polo is one of the biggest exchanges for alts these days, i will not trust it anymore for these reasons and withdrew all of my BTC: s and IOC: s to my own wallets.

Allright, since many viewed this post and nobody answered the call i will just post here how i solved my problem:

It was all due to the version of the core btc; I was using 0.10.4 where the internal miner is disabled in the source code except for testnet. This was the reason I could mine the first blocks in testnet but not on the mainnet. As for the solution, i just inserted the same parameters as in btc 0.10.4 to btc version 0.9 and used the miner to solve the first few blocks.

In version 0.10.4 the bitcoind was stuck in downloading blocks and could not tell the rpc miner api gateway the GBT (GetBlockTemplate) information so there was no way for external miners to get work from the server. Good thing coffee made me stay awake and crack the problem, hope this helps someone struggling with the same thing!

Hey!

I have created a bitcoin 0.10.4 version private network with a brand new genesis block. I have setup 2 virtual machines that are connected to eachother and want to use the integrated miner to mine the difficulty 1 main net.
Heres the thing; I have succeeded doing this in the testnet, the network is going on block 13 and i can verify that the network is hashing with (./bitcoin-cli -testnet getmininginfo). I cannot for some reason do this with the mainnet, it says that bitcoinminer has started but no hashing starts.. This is just for a school project, last thing that i need to get it working. Any help is appreciated (Might tip the guy who solves this for me!).

Heres the bitcoin.conf for both machines:

PC1

gen=1
listen=1
server=1
rpcuser=foo
rpcpassword=bar
rpcallowip=207.242.196.190
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8332


PC2

gen=1
rpcuser=foo
rpcpassword=bar
connect=207.243.197.55
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=207.243.197.55
rpcport=8332

I am using debian jessie as the base os, any advice on how to go about this? Heres what is in the debug.log when i start bitcoind:

16) What is the command to reindex a DigiByte wallet on windows?
The command should be "/yourpath/digibyte-qt.exe -reindex"

17) What is a DigiByte node?
A computer which is a part of the dgb network which validates and relays transactions to others.

18) What is the command to reindex a DigiByte wallet on Mac OSX?
Mac:  /Applications/Digibyte-Qt-"version".app/Contents/MacOS/Digibyte-Qt -reindex


18.5) What is digibyted?
It is a sort of an headless client For DGB. Uses Digibyte core source code.

19) What is an RPC command?
RPC, defined by RFC 1057, is a set of function calls used by a client program to call functions in a remote server program.

20) What is digibyte.conf?
It is the configuration file for your DGB Node.

21) What is wallet.dat?
It is the wallet file for your wallet program, it is essentially a marker on the blockchain where your coins are.

24) What is the most useful RPC command?
Encryptwallet

25) What is a difficulty adjustment?
Difficulty is a measure of how difficult it is to find a hash below a given target. The adjustment of it is to either make it easier or harder based on the hashing power of for example of a mining pool.

26) What is OP_RETURN?
OP_RETURN is a script opcode used to mark a transaction output as invalid.

27) What is the difference between a full node an an SPV wallet?
A full-node is a mining node.

A node:

Needs a complete, validated copy of the blockchain so that it can mine on the correct chain, earning bitcoins and contributing to the security of the network.
Chooses the transactions it includes in its blocks.
Relies on other mining nodes to accept its blocks as valid. Rejects any invalid blocks.
Won’t update its software unless it is sure it will generate blocks valid to the rest of the network
Will likely service requests for blockchain data and SPV clients. The mining nodes provide fraud proofs to SPV-users.

SPV client:
Simplfied Payment Verification:
A Bitcoin implementation that does not verify everything, but instead relies on either connecting to a trusted node, or puts its faith in high difficulty as a proxy for proof of validity.

28) What is a deterministic wallet?
A deterministic wallet is a system of deriving keys from a single starting point known as a seed. The seed allows a user to easily back up and restore a wallet without needing any other information and can in some cases allow the creation of public addresses without the knowledge of the private key.

29) Explain the difference between a public and private blockchain
A private blockchain merely acts as a permissioned network that enables entities to secure information.  A private blockchain is not actually a true blockchain since the access to it is restricted to pre-selected parties. Public blockchain is what it name says; public. Anyone can join on the network without having to apply for permission etc. Anyone can see what happens on the blockchain, which is not something you can do on a private blockchain.

30) Explain the difference between a permissioned and permissionless blockchain
Properly permissioned blockchain networks differ from unpermissioned blockchain networks solely based on the presence (or absence) of an access control layer built into the blockchain clients.

The first primary difference between a properly conceived permissioned blockchain network and an unpermissioned blockchain network is whether the participants in the network have an ability to restrict who can participate in the consensus mechanism of the blockchain’s network.

https://poloniex.com/, https://bittrex.com/, https://yobit.net/

32) Name three places people can spend DigiBytes:
https://www.digibytemarket.com/en/shop/#!/d/home, http://glivet.com/, http://sanfranciscoseoagency.com/cryptocurrency/

33) What is the current block reward?
~1042 Digibytes/block



Thanks for the interesting quiz ! If i won, heres my DGB wallet: DT8Lmosx7BAXj8qLR8ePFjCubVbUYn8ER1

Haha it has like an under 1 bitcoin daily volume according to coinmaketcap and no known exchanges for it It even has a same kind of scam article on july first in some page i dont remember anymore...Dont fall for this garbage

Well, i will be following the markets closely as etherium has a more than a good chance of getting a much higher marketcap but i will wait for the initial excitement of people to wither down a bit before considering it. I do not think most people have dumped as the command line wallet is very hard to use for people who are not tech-savvy, theres a lot of buy resistance but it will steadily go down despite of it. I can be wrong but highly doubt it as i am rarely wrong in this sort of things in my own experience.

 I have no idea about kraken as i traded at poloniex, we had a 24h waiting period before trading was allowed (Etherium staff asked exchanges to wait). What windowsgui will do is give access to those wallets that people haven't yet been able to access to, only logically i think they will sell if the price is still higher than from when they bought their coins a year ago. After that i believe the price will start settling to a norm.

This is only my opinion but i always value it highly, might be biased though  

Edit: kraken volume is so low, most people wont be able to dump there.

The thing is, etherium isn't ment to be used as a currency, but to only fuel the platform. Smart contracts etc. People assume that it is a scam, but in my eyes they have been very much open about what it is going to be. As for the price drop, anyone who has been in the crypto scene knows that every coin that is released will have a huge price drop, specially in coins that has an initial investment in it.

I am very much happy i invested in etherium, i made monster profits and profited on the fact that i knew that most people who invested in the coin wouldn't be able to sell at the start since they wouldn't know how to use the command line wallet. I sold my investment early since i know when the windows wallet comes most will be dumping their ethers then. I believe that Etherium can be a huge part of our economy, not necessarily as a coin but as a platform for innovation, it shouldn't be taken lightly.

As for investing in the etherium-coins, i will wait untill the windows wallet gui has been made and the rest of the people have dumped their possible investment.

Well, i made about 13 bitcoins off of ethereum, will buy back in after they have made the windows wallet and ppl have dumped it enough 

It will take a few days but im sure there will be a functional wallet made for it soon 

Just bought around 4000 verts and propably going up till 9000 slowly

Oh please, may every hamas-soldier be destroyed to the ground, Israel has the right to defend itself from their rockets 

He's just trying to bring the price down to buy cheap, + this is a perfect pump coin, only 18 bitcoins for over 3x price. Bought some coins off him and he immediately pulled his sell offer

Dunno about that but looking at the buy volume building at cryptsy i would say buy before it shoots up again.

I told people earlier that the price was too good to pass by and the next day it rises, coincidence? I think not.

They have mentioned earlier the usd option for eac, but i am merely speculating wether it will actually happen (hence the "if"). Yes, they will have to invest in the site properly to make it work, but if they do it will be huge! I think cryptsy is busy with the coins they have and wouldn't be able to focus on an usd option with the coding problems they already have.
