I just now stumbled upon a DeVCoin faucet.

It is part of a DeVCoin Portal that claims to be Copyright 2013 the DeVCoin developers.

It wants to batch up 30 requests for free DeVCoin to send all at once, so I presumably would not all b y myself be able to test it to see if it works; can we drum up 30 bitcointalk members to give it a whirl to check it is still working after all these years?

-MarkM-


I made this faucet back at 2015 and it always work.

But not until January 2025, my server got wiped due to vps provider (another long story and I'll not post it here), I restore the backup at 20231110, so that we can coutinue the service, both faucet and blockchain explorer, but the problem now it, I cannot catch up the blockchain since no peers was successfully connected, now the block header is stuck at height 610575(2024-05-19 17:06:18), and nothing changed since more than 20hours past. I tried to connect to explorer.devcoin.org but its 52333 port is closed. so any other peers we know are publicly connectable?

I just started with Docker (for Windows). Could you give lay men instructions on how to download and run this container from the Power Shell window?

if your docker installation is complete, just 'docker run emfox/devcoin:testing' will do everything, for detail please reference at:
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/

I get an error message:



edit: retried a couple of times. Seems to be a download not getting traction. It is downloading now but very slow... I guess I need more patience.

edit 2: could not start (fatal state)?



I do not familiar with docker under windows, maybe there was some write permission issue or other compatible things...

hello everyone, I have created an infrastructure of automated building devcoin(only devcoind, no devcoin-qt) on docker hub, that depending on well crafted dockerfile. the latest tag will follow master branch, and any new commit will be at testing tag first, then moved into latest.
Now the newest latest is not available because the new Dockerfile hasn't accept into official repo, and so the build is only tracing my own repo(emfox/core) but not the official one(devcoin/core), I will change is later.

please check it here, you can check the build log, whatever success or failure, or directly download and use the devcoind image.

Fuzzybear

The faucet sounds like a wonderful idea, Fuzzybear. We have another faucet, run by Emfox, which should be shamelessly plugged here...

DVC Faucet : http://faucet.d.evco.in/

Thanks for the promoting Smiley

I just upgraded faucet.d.evco.in and block.d.evco.in to https, and remade some ui code, anyone please test if they work properly.

and I've moved the site to another machine, so the faucet.devcoin.org and blockchain.devcoin.org has wrong redirection, please could the admin of devcoin.org help to do CNAME records instead of A records?


All looks to be working well, though you should remove the link to vircurex and put one to https://www.altilly.com/referral/f4811

OK yes, of course Wink

Hi develCuy,

My understanding is that all of jasinlee's duties have now been assigned to other Admins (primarily ctya), as jasinlee had requested some time ago. Kudos to jasinlee for hanging in there, for so long, after that request!

The 2/5-Node Maintenance (seed node) duties mentioned above are still in question. Perhaps ctya would know if that was part of the server software/data moved off jasinlee's server? All the rest can be removed, though. Please let me know when your updates are complete so as to update the Devcoin HR Resources page accordingly.

Thanks,

Nova

I still hope to have some clear info about seed nodes because people could claim they do things but they aren't. How can we confirm that a seed node is running if we don't even know the IP address?

My take on it is to become a little strict. Apart from my node (http://dvcexplorer.wy.si/) I don't know of any other.

NOW listen carefully

I'll drop node maintenance rewards from people not replying to this message. Deadline is 2 weeks!

Emfox, Hunterbunter, Jasinlee, Markm, Shattienator PLEASE CONFIRM that you are still run your seed nodes. (sent you a private message as well)

EVERYONE If you are not mentioned but you are in contact with such people, please reply here.

Thanks!

P.S: If you have other duties, please confirm those as well

My seed node is running at d.evco.in and default port

How up to date are these IP addresses? http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_seeds

The following suitable seeds are known at this time:

198.154.60.183
174.34.170.240
There are also some nodes people have posted, that would be suitable for use with the -addnode option either by the command line or configuration file if you are having trouble getting connections. Known at the time of this writing are:

dvc.rpwt.org:52333
devcoin.rpwt.org:52333
dvc.rpwt.org:52333
devcoin.rpwt.org:52333
devcoin.rpwt.org:52333
dvc.us.public.txn.co.in
dvc.eu.public.txn.co.in
dvc.public.txn.co.in ( picks one of the above )
dcnode.bitparking.com

I checked them when I was making that list about 12 months ago, and I don't think anyone's checked them since, so about that. Are there some that you think need to be removed?
remove dvc.rpwt.org and devcoin.rpwt.org, change to d.evco.in

Hi everyone,

1.) I do apologize for having such a messy OP. No worries though, we are pivoting to a niche Internet of Things wallet/platform, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=761852.0
2.) Development continues with Micropayments and Data Marketplace.
3.) We will have a new Testnet/Mainnet version next week with additional Features.
4.) Our "Explainer Video" will be out next week.
5.) We have a new investor (THANK YOU!!!) and more information will be announced soon.

"Patience is a virtue."
Thank you for your support.

Regards,
ASIC-8TILE

Where's the new version?

If you dont want to do that another thing that needs to be done is the build scripts that allow the node to be built across the platforms on the cloud. We can fund the hosting and base it per
build (when code changes) again bitcoin already has this but our makefiles need to be all working then we can do the same thing.

What exactly do you need the build scripts modified to do?

I would like devcoin to be built the same way as bitcoin. If it uses cloud then it probably downloads all the dependencies and makes everything.. im not sure exactly what the
bitcoin build system is like but it does make all the different platforms as now we have seperate admins responsible for the builds it would be ideal if we can automate this process.

Oh god, you want to use autotools.

Its essentially the start of a real release process which we dont have: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-process.md


Using the gitian builder procedure is like this https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/gitian-building.md scripts are already in btc src directory.

I like the autotools when I'm building a project, but as a developer, I hate them. I tried to learn it several times, the documentation SUUUUUCKS.

Me too. but truely, If we want to follow bitcoin, we should consider using autotools, that bitcoin has already did in 0.8.6 (or may be 0.8.7?)

Looking at this makefile... why on earth are you building libcurl? It's on quite a few linux systems. The user is supposed to install the dependencies, except sometimes in the case of Windows...

Because you cant assume users have it.. unless you do a dynamic compile then its up to you to put the dll as a registered dll or in path of executable.

Take a look at the config for the build.. Then windows mingw makefile atleast. It strips out everything except the http get functionality.

Also it needs to be statically linked because I believe it is safer and avoids bugs where multi-threading could cause issues.. I believe this is why they went with the static
build for it.. was done before me.

You're thinking like a Windows user. If you're compiling for Linux, there is no reason to compile libcurl with Devcoin. If all developers thought like you, it'd be a disaster. Shared libraries were created so that every program didn't have to statically link their own copy of a common library, wasting memory and disk space.

Several distros don't ship static binaries, and AFAIK, it won't cause issues unless you're using archaic versions.
I believe I did change the dependencies to be dynamically linked and included them in the distro. With libcurl it the lib is compiled without the unneeded options so that is why the src was included. It wasnt a standard lib that any coins used at the time so the src was put in the repo. You still need the src to compile the linked lib and since we are only using 1/10th of it having src there makes sense.

How does it make sense to only waste a little memory copying code that already should be on the system? And what if there's a security bug in libcurl? With dynamic linking, I can use my package manager to upgrade. This way, I need to recompile EVERYTHING that depends on it.

Hello wolf. As the current linux admin of devcoin, I tell you just go ahead, to adapt the build method of linux as you like, and ask sidhujag to pull it. Because he is of the responsibility of developing our new release, but not the release manager of every distribution (though he happened to be maintaining the windows build). I was not too familiar with those libcurl hacks, and a little too busy to dig into it, so just modify the code (of linux part) as you like. I think sidhujag would like to see it, too, right?

I'd like some devcoins, but if not, that's okay too.

I may be able to set aside a share for you (about 100k devcoins).
What is your address and is it on your computer or an exchange/web wallet?

Also, are there any objections to this 1-share award?

I'm wolf on devtome.

10K dvc is on the way.

There's a problem with the Linux binaries. They're dynamically linked to OLD ASS versions of libraries. I could recompile them if you want.

Please do it, and give the code (method) so others could repeat your work.

We did all the tests before, but I had to reflash my phone. I am more comfortable with a working Devcoin wallet on my phone thsn without, so I asked for a node to make it function.

If sidhujag didn't change something recently, you could use my node at 'd.evco.in', using default port.

Please make it work with new code which is ported to 0.8.5, but it will have to be forward ported again to 0.9.0 when we merge that code in later. We are just testing the merged-blocks are backwards compatible across clients. The windows client is in test mode, and linux client can be built aswell from source...

https://github.com/sidhujag/devcoin

I did the android wallet based on 0.8.5 aswell... are there changes in Armory after 0.8.5? Otherwise you can use this code as your client to test with. (version is now 70001 from 032501 or whatever)

How are you going about it? just adding the merged-mine parsing, and do similar adaptions that the client did with bitcion -> devcoin?

Okay sounds good. As far as I can tell most of the substantial changes were in 0.8.x; there are lots of places in the code that reference that version. I just started working on it, so I got it talking to devcoind, and reading the blocks from blk0001.dat instead of the blocks folder, but I'm realizing that most of the changes I'm making to get it to read devcoin blocks are just reverting changes that were made for post 0.8 bitcoin. I think it will be a lot easier once I get the 0.8.5 based devcoind built.

I guess I'm not fully aware of all of the difference between the devcoin and bitcoin blockchains, I assumed that all I would have to change is parsing of the receiver files - although Armory interfaces directly with bitcoind/devcoind, so maybe that would be handled by devcoind rather than by Armory. If I have any trouble I'll definitely refer to your Android wallet or send you a PM.

Now I'm going to see if I can the new 0.8.5 wallet compiled on Ubuntu. Smiley

Edit:

For what it's worth, I have the 0.8.5 devcoind compiled and running on Ubuntu 12.04, got the whole blockchain downloaded successfully and I imported my wallet and the balance looks normal. Anything specific you'd like me to test?

Btw is there anyway to compile Devcoin-Qt on Linux? Or is that not supported yet? I'm getting a lot of errors when trying to use the "bitcoin-qt.pro" with QTCreator.

please post your step of compiling, and the exact error message.

The round 32 receiver files have been uploaded to: [...]

There were 1587 original receiver lines, so the average number of devcoins per share is 180,000,000 dvc / 1587 = 113,422 dvc. Administrator pay is 218.0 shares, 13.7 percent of the total. The value at vircurex is 0.9 mcbtc/dvc, which works out to 0.102 btc. This times the bitstamp price of 662$ gives a share price of 68$.

http://dvccountdown.blisteringdevelopers.com/ shows 119,442 dvc/share (with 1508 shares) for round 32. Is this a bug in the DVC countdown? Or a miscalculation somewhere?

dvccountdown read my d.evco.in/charity log, which read github/Unthinkingbit/charity, so it mean Unthinkingbit has not already update github record to the newest version, so this cause the inconsistance.

It's really not needed. General questions are easy enough to answer. The technical questions go to K1773R and Emfox. In fact, this is what they're being paid to do as part of their jobs on a round-by-round basis.

Busted.

Yea I dont really see them contributing to people asking questions, especially ont he forum, who really has the time to look up a user to send a private message when it is way easier to simply post on a thread?

I haven't seen either of them answer questions, its usually one of us answering people.

It's really serious accusation, and let me clarify it.

My admin job is Linux wallet maintainance and help people install on their own linux box. since it's now we actively developing and testing new wallet (and I think I do did something during this phase), I haven't starting packaging an new official one( and have done an testing one, but now no one tested or give me feedbacks).

concerning helping people compiling or installed devcoin wallet in their linux box, there is not much questions there(this forum thread) , and I've answered all those who have posted or directly send pms to me (maybe Hunterbunter can prove it that he has contacted me about devcoind compiling, or installation I don't remember well).

So, I am working as an admin.


Edit: Yes, I confirmed it's Hunterbunter who've contacted me, and also recently question I've answered in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=233997.msg4355754#msg4355754 . too long this thread is, I woundn't like to dig the whole thread again to find more.

ive asked repeatedly for someone to build me a linux build and I didnt get anything from you in an answer.. But maybe thats my fault i should have pmed you instead.. I didnt mean to sound harsh just seemed like Im left to try to find the right people to do the right things.. we need more coordination to roll out products and the source is our new product. Tomorrow we have another release happens I expect it to go smoother everytime.. we all are on one team and we should try to help whenever we can. Im not sure but I thought admins should be answering questions on the thread too? Do people expect to be redirected everytime to the right admin?

Im still not sure whos in charge of what until I reread the csv file but he better we work together the better it will reflect in the community and as a result our future here in crypto.

Your a wallet admin right? Ive seem many posts general ones about the wallet regarding missing coins or  checking balanced on the blockchain.. as a wallet admin regardless of os isnt that something you should know? If noone else knows the internals of a wallet then who will help them?

ok, I admit sometimes I may be missing some questions not linux concerned, it should be my fault if I know the answer but not answering it.

Talking to the wallet maintaince. I think I have expressed my meaning and plan of linux version, let me say it in detail again here:
1. people using devcoind more often than devcoin-qt (gui version, I mean) in linux environment
2. those who using devcoind is mostly would like to build devcoind themself rather than using pre-built binarys, so it not urgent to redistribute binary version for linux
3. I haven't find suitable and graceful way of building linux version of devcoin-qt, and concerning both the static and dynamic link method, though I've built an ugly one, but no one seems have test it.
4. the current makefile manual hack cause some issue (like you should wipe */.deps first before doing linux build), and I'd like to use automake/autoconf building system that bitcoin 0.8.6 already use, which is beatiful and os independent, but I heard you'd like to wait till 0.8.5 of devcoin became stable and matual before we move forward, so I'm still thinking I should wait or port it myself first ...

and last, a little busy myself recently, so I haven't rebuild any new version of linux wallet.  but I do actively testing the wallet, I've used 1.0.7 1.0.9 1.0.13 1.0.14 1.0.15, and redistributed some version (1.0.13 or .9?) to my friend, encourage them to use and testing our shinning new wallet. some of them lost 250,000 devcoins due to the fee issue, I just covered this myself because I realised it's a kind of support to devcoin development while the one who lost his coins didn't think so.

Edit: I found the reply I post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=233997.msg4613062#msg4613062 , that was exactly me and only built the linux test version.
