Re: FireFlyCoin Launched! - REBOOT

I was able to connect to the VPS.  To facilitate finding nodes I set up a FireFly Coin DNS Node-Tracker/Seeder at


It can be queried in real-time by re-loading the above web page link, or by putting the reference to it in the source code, (line 69 of 'chainparams.cpp') :

Code:
vSeeds.push_back(CDNSSeedData("fireflycoin.cc", "dnsseed.fireflycoin.cc"));

Should I reboot this?

I fired my node up: 73.73.73.122

I am probably way far behind but if anyone else would like to get this rolling again, let's do it!

Hey Jude, I'm trying to connect ....


Hi,

I setup a VPS with a node: 192.3.112.130

Give that a shot!

I will get a pool up and explorer soon.

Thanks,
Jude

If I recall correctly, the initial test only uses CPU.

Try running it for real and see if you get different results.

I see... I have test it the last 2 days but I'm not sure how better is running that before with only CPU.
While trying to run my machine at maximum power, I have notice that there are gpu options which I do not understand well how to use them.
I have 2 gpu on my machine, 1 intel and 1 nvidia.
This is the command I'm using right now:

Code:
./LBC -id username -s password --gpu -c 4 -t 600 -delay 180

I guess using the command above it's not using both gpu or maybe use intel which has less power than nvidia.

How to use both gpu? Or if I had to use only 1 gpu, then how to know is using the best which is nvidia?

*Also at manual it's says that e.g. -t 10 = 10 minutes, as far I test it -t 60 = 5 minutes, maybe is a bug?
Also try it with 1:0, it gives me the same results.
What I want is to give it a delay 3 minutes after 1 hour running.

Thanks again.

Intel is on-board and will get the same speed as CPU.

You can only really use the Nvidia card.

Hi guys,

I've been thinking a lot about old, forgotten and abandoned BTC wallets and the way they can be accessed. In that research, I saw this project that inspired me and I want to join the project.

Could you give me a PC configuration recommendation, to pay attention to whether is more important CPU or GPU , whether one GPU is enough or more, how much RAM, and more. What is minimum configuration for good participation in this project.

Give me some recommendation, some advice about hardware, what should I pay attention to.

Thanks a lot for every one.


p.s. Who knows, maybe we sometimes get into Satoshi's wallet, it's never known...

Would be better off using: https://github.com/brichard19/BitCrack

You have to set a secret (Password) but you also might still have to be on the GPU list.

You will have to ask Rico.

You have absolutely right. I set password and gpu has been authorized thank you!

Code:
GPU authorized: yes
Will use 4 CPUs.
Ask for work... got blocks [33644116996-33644119619] (2751 Mkeys)
2 just got out of the pool with exit code: 255
1 just got out of the pool with exit code: 255
0 just got out of the pool with exit code: 255
3 just got out of the pool with exit code: 255
Sending invalidation info.

However even if I have enable gpu, the speed is the same when I make a test.

Code:
./LBC -x
Will use 4 CPUs.
Testing mode. Using page 0, turning off looping.
Benchmark info not found - benchmarking... done.
Your speed is roughly 797883 keys/s per CPU core.

Same speed I had before enable gpu, why speed isn't increased?

Hello,

I have just installed on linux machine, works fine except that is not authorize my CPU.

Code:
./LBC --gpu
GPU authorized: no
Will use 4 CPUs.
Ask for work... Server doesn't like us. Answer: wrong secret.


My Nvidia drivers are already installed.

Code:
ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd0000139Bsv000017AAsd00003802bc03sc02i00
vendor   : NVIDIA Corporation
model    : GM107M [GeForce GTX 960M]
driver   : nvidia-driver-390 - distro non-free recommended
driver   : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

I have install "nvidia-driver-390" driver.

My gpu is not supported or I have done something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

When stopping LBC in terminal during sleep period, Ctrl+C gives me "stop gracefully by using ^e" or something like that, yet Ctrl+C still achieves my purpose and even says notifies host of not finishing homework or whatever which makes me feel better. Tried Ctrl+E didn't do anything.

Please help me gracefully exit the LBC when I desire.

Tbh the pool is renewing my interest in linux, however my knowledge of keyboard shortcuts and the finer details of the OS are eluding me, I just wanna get my CPU's down and dirty collidin-n-findin

Thanks,

-J

Yeah, CTRL+E works it just takes a really long time to finally end.

It has to finish all the work on all the cores first and submit it.

I chmod
Code:
chmod +x LBC
and make LBC executable. But now new problem comes up:

Code:
JSON not found - installing it.
Loading internal null logger. Install Log::Log4perl for logging messages

But fail to install it.

Why?

sudo cpan install JSON

I install all of the requirements using cpan instead of the LBC binary. I feel like it's faster.

It's fail:

Welcome to JSON (v.4.01)
=============================

 ** BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY **

Since version 2.90, stringification (and string comparison) for
JSON::true and JSON::false has not been overloaded. It shouldn't
matter as long as you treat them as boolean values, but a code that
expects they are stringified as "true" or "false" doesn't work as
you have expected any more.

    if (JSON::true eq 'true') {  # now fails

    print "The result is 1 now."; # => The result is 1 now.

And now these boolean values don't inherit JSON::Boolean, either.
When you need to test a value is a JSON boolean value or not, use
JSON::is_bool function, instead of testing the value inherits
a particular boolean class or not.

Hey there, I'm new on linux. Since yesterday I am running LBC at vmware but I don't really like it because vmware tools doesn't work for copy-paste, there is not even a scrollbar on console. So I have installed Ubuntu a new machine on vmware  and all required packages as you mention on installation pages.

I have LBC perl file at downloads folder. From there I open the terminal.

I don't know what I have doing wrong but when I type:
Code:
sudo ./LBC -h

I get:
Code:
sudo: ./LBC: command not found

Installation of the packages progress:

sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev
-
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
-
sudo apt install gcc
-
sudo apt install make
-
wget https://lbc.cryptoguru.org/static/client/LBC

I really like to make this work right, once I a planning to run this for a long time.

Any help would me appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT

Also tried the method via WLS and I got exactly the same issue!

Code:
test@LAPTOP:~$ ./LBC -h
-bash: ./LBC: Permission denied
test@LAPTOP:~$ sudo ./LBC -h
sudo: ./LBC: command not found



You have to set permissions:

sudo chmod 755 LBC

Should do the trick but don't put anything personal/private on that VM.


I chmod
Code:
chmod +x LBC
and make LBC executable. But now new problem comes up:
