thanks, i also want to practice some code for cpu/gpu bitcoin mining, so i very gladly looked at your work.

a question regarding this line of code: hash = hashlib.sha256(hashlib.sha256(binascii.unhexlify(blockheader)).digest()).digest()
why are you calling sha256 twice? so you hash the hash of the header.
maybe it's a mistake?

Yeah, doesn't sound fun... for educational purposes only? I'd prefer to mine some shitcoin using my CPU or GPU but with some real results/mining involved. Solo mining even on an Antminer S19 Pro is a lottery now already - 0.000065% chance of catching the block every 10 minutes (around 30 years to solo mine a block), CPU mining is not even a lottery, you're just losing money on electricity and burning out your CPU.

If you have the following conf file

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.1.1/24
rpcport=40022
daemon=1
server=1
gen=1

And an address in your wallet is : NUQAEFrWoUJvSCDKwAH2j4cA83AEiYYEh9
And wanted to use 1 of your CPU cores to mine then:


Just verified it works, mined 2 blocks to the above address.

Look for developers in the Service section if you'll pay in bitcoin. Another good section to spot is also the Project Development in the forum. If you still can't see that then just go to freelancer websites and have those developers go into your thread with the same posting.
The cost of it varies on the experience of the developer. But, I am sure that this isn't going to be as cheap as some might be thinking since it's a task and skill that's in demand and needs technical knowledge.

Why would you want to build back up an old coin.  Why not just start a new one you are probably better off.  Trying to revive an old coin from scratch is usually very hard to do.  Cost will vary but be careful to not get scammed by anyone in the process.

It's not a question of money. They are salaried, it's just that if I pull them off of real work to do this my head winds up on a pike as warning to others.
If they choose to do me a favor and shift stuff around on their own, their heads wind up on the pike.

But, if there is a lull in "real" work, we can all play around with what we want. But, for a while now, real free time is not abundant.
Yeah, if they do it I'm going to throw them some money, but they can't just go and do it.

-Dave

But, I do have some web people that might be able to do something. Once again, if they like me, every have that mythical free time.

Also, I was moving some DNS things around and might have caused a drop in resolution for a while.
Nobody posted about it / contacted me. But if you could not get to the sites, yeah I know and it's fixed.

-Dave

Still looking for someone to re-do the site into something that looks like it was made this decade.
Also, would be nice to have a few more "permanent" nodes that can be added into the coins DNS seeds for people to sync.

Still chugging along, might have more time to do things this summer but can't be sure.

Peers that I am seeing at the moment:

23.233.55.92:40021
144.202.22.19:40021
183.159.68.150:56873

There are others out there.
Also, yes the .com address is now under my control it should be pointing to the main site.

Anyone want to redo the site into something better more modern?
Probably does not matter that much but it can't hurt if someone has the time to do it.

-Dave

Why is that stupid? Difficulty gotta rise. I skipped through the code but found no alarming spots nor suspicious lines I would feel the necessity to report. Madness is the only reason why people mine it. Only an outcast with sixty kids living below the waterline in a petroleum tank could be the archytype of a person paying attention to anything this insignificant.
