In regards to BTC38, the volume was actually quite high and I really don't understand why they made the decision to de-list.

I agree with you. The volume was huge compared to the small withdrawal limits at BTC38.

Moreover, we haven't heard anything from Cryptoslave for a while or Yobit for that matter and now we are only on two exchanges with very low volume. I have to admit that it is looking grim for ANC. The CNY I was able to salvage from this mess (22k) I have on BTC38, will be converted to BTC so I can transfer to BITTREX and buy BCC, Monero and Decred. 

Luckily, I was able to sell all our (Lifeboat's) ANC during the recent surge in ANC price. BTC38 has low enough limits on withdrawals that it took me a week and a half to make our trade even though I used two accounts on BTC38 and got BTC38 to raise the withdrawal limit on one of them. (I prefer to withdraw all proceeds after a trade so I was limiting the size of the trades since I could only withdraw so much funds.) I turned our ANC to Zcash as it does what ANC originally promised.

Does anybody know what is happening with BTC38? Trading seems to be suspended!
I wrote to BTC38 and they said, "ANC we will no longer provide transaction services. So please understand!"

i have an open ticket on BTC38 where i asked when ANC will be open for Deposits again,

I tried to use BTC38 and nothing happened when I hit submit to enter a trading password.

When I tried to send a message to support I got the message "Submit fail."

I even tried their Chinese page with similar results.

They don't seem to be doing well.

there was a fork, you should use the newest version:
https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/releases
the first one is the i2p version which has more connections than the clearnet.

This did the trick! Before, I was using the newest version as it had the "This is a HARDFORK build" displayed. I did discover that if I ran it for a long time (over an hour) that I finally got 1 clearnet connection. After a few minutes with your release, I quickly have 13 I2P connections. For whatever reason I wasn't able to get I2P connections with my earlier setup. (I thought it was setup correctly for I2P but the convenient zipped folder at github.com is clearly setup better. A long time ago my setup was able to connect through I2P but that had stopped working.)

I double-checked anoncoin.net and they don't point people to the GitHub URL. Instead they point them to https://anoncoin.net/downloads/0.9.6.11/

"if you have done this, then there are 2 error sources left
1. software firewall / windows firewall
2. you router/nat firewall"

Yeah, I was worried about that but didn't find anything in such firewalls.

I am unable to get any active connections. I used to get them but this stopped working 45 weeks ago.

I have tried https://novaexchange.com/addnodes/ANC/

I have tried using both clearnet and I2P.

Any ideas?

Ok, linux newb question, what is the easiest way to downgrade the AMDAPP SDK files? I do not have keyboard access to this rig, doing via SSH, and I think its FTP ports are blocked....   the link posted is not a direct weblink i can wget from. So, how do i download, and then how to I install those? Thanks a ton!

To install, untar the file and then type ./Install-AMD-APP.sh

You should have at least SFTP access so you could download the file to your home machine and then SFTP to your Linux machine. (Since AMD's complicated site is hard to download from if you only have access to a Lynx browser.) In case you don't have SFTP access, I have now created http://lifeboat.com/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.7-lnx64.tar for you that you can wget from.

I have it installed and running on my BAMT, vanitygen runs fine, oclvanitygen just tosses out CPU/GPU Found errors

Are you using the version of oclvanitygen at lifeboat.com? If not, where did you get it from?

https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen.git

Use the source at https://github.com/scintill/vanitygen/tree/compressed_opencl

Change line 459 in oclengine.c from:
Code:
return quirks;
to:
Code:
return quirks & ~VG_OCL_AMD_BFI_INT;

You also need to downgrade AMDAPP SDK to 2.7. You can find this SDK at http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/downloads/download-archive/

Anyone gotten this to work on a BAMT rig?

BAMT is Linux. If you wish, I could provide you with the source so you could compile this on your Linux setup. Or you could install Windows on your machine and then run our Windows program.

You need to run it from the windows command prompt. Learn more at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/open-a-command-prompt-window

Type oclvanitygen64 --help to see your options.

For example, I run it with oclvanitygen64 -k -p 0 -d 0 -o c:\f\vanity.output 1Lifeboat
I'm making progress. Now I have:
Error loading kernel file 'calc_addrs.cl': No such file or directory.
It is in the same folder as oclvanitygen. (tried your settings but changed that path)

At the command prompt, type "dir" and let me know what you see.

I had to lol at this. First and foremost unless the program was coded to work WITHOUT arguments it won't close. The program EXPECTS arguments, you are not giving it any, so it just exits. This is stuff on a basic level.
I had just ran the first thing that I had seen in the folder.  Cheesy

I thought I had managed to build it, and ended up with a (32bit) binary, but it just wouldn't run (Windows error saying "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application"). I had some issues building libcurl, I think that's where it went wrong. The readme doesn't mention it and it's just assumed in the makefile... I haven't dabbled in that area of programming in a number years, so I could be forgetting something pretty simple.

You can just download working binaries from https://lifeboat.com/oclvanitygen

Are you saying you can't open a command prompt window?
When i run OCVanity it opens up like in a flash and closes? Hmm.

What command do you type to run it?

whats the biggest wordlist you guys are able to load that actually works?

If you are asking how long of a word you can specify and get, at Lifeboat we have gotten 1LifeboatVPg24QghZ73Dzrx8AxcJLCnoA and we use the phrase "Become a Lifeboat VIP and donate to bitcoin address 1LifeboatVPg24QghZ73Dzrx8AxcJLCnoA". So 1Lifeboat was specified, we got many results, and are currently using a 1LifeboatVP match which is pretty cool.

Seems I'm not getting the writing to a txt file done.


Quote
oclvanitygen64.exe -v -F compressed -d 1 1EnJoy -o matches.txt
Prefix difficulty:            259627881 1EnJoy
Invalid character '-' in prefix '-o'
Invalid character '.' in prefix 'matches.txt'
Difficulty: 259627881

am I doing something wrong?

Try oclvanitygen64.exe -v -F compressed -d 1 -o matches.txt 1EnJoy

And is there a way I can get both my GPU's active in searching? Currently only 1 GPU seems to get busy searching.

You would need to run two copies of oclvanitygen64.exe, one using -d 1 and the other using -d 2. (Or whatever numbers correspond to your 2 GPUs.)

opencl vanitygen is only coded to find a prefix. You'll have to use cpu vanitygen to use regular expressions.

You could use the -o option to output results to a file and then use another program to search that file with regular expressions.
