Code:
pip install git+https://github.com/s4w3d0ff/python-polonix.git --user
Seems to be working for me. returnTradeHistory should return your trade history, while marketTradeHist will return everyones trades for the market
Code:
from poloniex import Poloniex
polo = Poloniex('api-key-here', 'supersecrethashhere123')
# your trades
polo.returnTradeHistory()

Re: [ANN][1CR] 1CRedit Coin Relaunch

Assuming that the 'KimotoGravityWellTW' function is doing what it is supposed to (1 hour min, about 6 days max(or 1 day max? I'm not really sure, either way, the diff is going to be hell)):

https://github.com/s4w3d0ff/1credit/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L1334
Code:
unsigned int static GetNextWorkRequired(const CBlockIndex* pindexLast, const CBlockHeader *pblock)
{
        static const int64 BlocksTargetSpacing =  TargetSpacing;
        static const unsigned int TimeDaySeconds = 60 * 60 * 24;
        int64 PastSecondsMin = TimeDaySeconds * 0.01;
        int64 PastSecondsMax = TimeDaySeconds * 0.14;
        uint64 PastBlocksMin = PastSecondsMin / BlocksTargetSpacing;
        uint64 PastBlocksMax = PastSecondsMax / BlocksTargetSpacing;

        if (pindexLast->nHeight <= FIRST_KGW_BLOCK) {
  return OldGetNextWorkRequired(pindexLast, pblock);
}
        if (pindexLast->nHeight <= FIRST_KGWTW_BLOCK) {
  return KimotoGravityWell(pindexLast, pblock, BlocksTargetSpacing, PastBlocksMin, PastBlocksMax);
        }
        if (pindexLast->nHeight < FIRST_KGWMB_BLOCK) {
            return KimotoGravityWellTW(pindexLast, pblock, BlocksTargetSpacing, 7, 168);  // 1 hour min, 1 day max
        }
        return KimotoGravityWellTW(pindexLast, pblock, BlocksTargetSpacing, 7, 1024);  // 1 hour min, about 6 days max
}

Code:
       if (pindexLast->nHeight < FIRST_KGWMB_BLOCK) {
            return KimotoGravityWellTW(pindexLast, pblock, BlocksTargetSpacing, 7, 168);  // 1 hour min, 1 day max
        }
        return KimotoGravityWellTW(pindexLast, pblock, BlocksTargetSpacing, 7, 1024);  // 1 hour min, about 6 days max

Then one can assume that a large miner could jump in at a low diff, starting with a small amount of hashing power then exponentially (and quickly) increase the power until the difficulty goes through the roof. Then the miner exits the network (or lowers the hash power to a minimal) until the high diff block gets solved and the diff goes super low, repeat.

Not sure if this is malicious, probably just a profit switching pool (or a troll, but is there a difference?), but the miner with massive power could double spend if they wanted (if they haven't already). You could try a simple fix and adjust the parameters above and try to reduce the damage from profit pools, but if it is a troll, adjusting the above would probably do nothing. You would have have to do a major rewrite or push out a new coin.

IMO, to 'quick fix', maybe start with adjusting the "1 hour min" to something higher or the max to something closer to 1 hour. Good luck!

Hello s4w3d0ff, hope you're doing well. I know you're hard at work doing a lot. I've been following your updates. You mentioned there's an upcoming update. How's the progress. Anything we can do to help? Can you please estimate when an update is coming? Any updates or news at all. Thank you so much for your hard work, s4w3d0ff. All the best Smiley

You're right, I should keep this community more informed. I will try to post more updates here and link them on the social sites so users know what is going on. I may move CGA news to a new thread (op seems to be gone), keep an eye on twitter and facebook for updates.

CGA source code update:
I have been doing TONS of research on other scrypt coins that have updated to Bitcoin Core.
I decided to go with (or at least start with) Litecoin v0.10 and I have been slowing moving the necessary variables into the new code base.
I have also been eyeballing Dogecoins code in the hopes that I can enable merged mining for CGA but this initial update will probably just be pure Litecoin (with CGA block rewards and 'Digishield' diff re-targets).
I also have been looking into Dash's 'masternode program' (rewarding users for running full nodes). I have been contemplating just forking Dash but that would mean that CGA would turn pure x11. Personally, I like what Digitalcoin did (having 3 algos) but I am not sure how well that would work with CGA's block reward (being adjusted by the difficulty and having 3 different difficulties) and Dogecoins merge mining. I'm sure it can work, but it is a bit over my head.

I plan to remove the 'bonus blocks' and clean up the reward system in general. The original block reward scheme has changed (evolved) drastically since CGA first started, I intend to revert the block rewards to just 1/diff (with special rule for low difficulty). Removing bonus blocks will keep miners from jumping in and out of the network (they are trying to snag just the bonus block then leave, leaving the difficulty super high and then transactions take longer than expected.).

CGA community update:
Seems we have pools and block explorers scattered across the internet.
I have adjusted the CGA logo further (images coming soon).
I have secured the basic domains and social pages for the upcoming rebrand.
I am working on setting up a personal website along-side the new CGA site. I will be hosting a forum for CGA on that site (once I have it fully operational) as well as a basic block explorer of some kind (probably just ABE).
I am also working on creating an online gaming community centered around CGA. I want to create a system that uses cryptocoins as a means to 'pay' gamers for "out-playing" other players in various online games (once I get the forum up updates on this project will be posted there).

So, to recap the things I have left to do:
- Convert CGAv2 code to Litecoin (or Dash? or Dogecoin?)
- Create a 'coinswap' page if one is needed (if we switch to Dash or I just can't get the update to talk to the old network)
- Create/update CGA webpage
- Setup CGA community forum
- Setup 'official' blockexplorer
- Migrate CGA to rebranded name
- Maintain CGA/rebrand social sites
- Create framework for gaming community
- I also maintain a(the) python api wrapper for poloniex
- Post regular 'updates' so investors don't get cold feet
- Attempt to live a 'normal', stress free, life

How long will all this take me?
I really have no idea, just updating the code base alone could take months, other coins have teams of devs working on updates and it takes them months to do it, with CGA it is just me for now so it may take a very long time... Once I have the code mostly transferred I will push my local dev branch to git. If anyone feels like I am moving too slow and they can do it quicker, by all means, do it.

"Because we take these claims seriously, we investigate each one, but almost all of them turn out to be fake with the sole purpose of extorting us. In the event that someone comes to us with a legitimate matter, we pay a bounty and part ways with a professional understanding that as long as we promptly fix the issue, the matter is considered closed."

Quote
"This same person then found another client-side exploit where he could alter the style of his Trollbox name to resemble the color of a moderator. Despite what has been falsely reported, he did not gain moderator privileges. Still, we would have considered this a bounty-worthy bug, but rather than report this to us, he decided it would be a spectacular idea to go into the Trollbox and flaunt what he had found. He was quickly banned, and a fix for this bug was implemented in a matter of minutes."

Umm... so polo has been hacked before, they raised security measures and repaid the users who lost funds. It has been over a year since then and the staff (both behind the scenes and in the TB) have grown significantly.

You would think that with their history and man power, they would have security pretty tight. The only vulnerabilities I see are "user-error" in which some dumb-ass (either mod or user) makes a mistake. Even if an attacker managed to send withdraw requests, the coins are (from what I remember) in cold storage and you need 2fa or email confirm to do a full withdraw.

Your security risk claim has been dealt with (if it was even a 'risk' to begin with...).

Yeah, so...

A new node in Ireland has been added to the CGA network at 52.211.157.41.

This is part of the Unobtanium community's sponsored node project, where a sponsor pays for an Unobtanium node and can then also select a 2nd coin they like to be added to the server.  This anonymous sponsor chose CGA. 

The node will be up through October 4, 2017.  We hope its a useful addition to your network.

Good luck to CGA from your friends at UNO.

Awesome! Thanks (anonymous)!

I really like the node program you guys got going. I will probably donate for another node once CGA gets through its "growing pains".
(I'll be adding the node to the source of the upcoming update)

I also set up a node recently (80.82.69.135)

I think the DNS seed is down (been looking into creating a new one) otherwise if you can't connect a (v2) wallet try adding these nodes in the conf

Code:
addnode=80.82.69.135
addnode=52.211.157.41
addnode=104.172.24.79
addnode=108.61.10.90

Good Bye

lol goodbye, Im sorry if I am not the "all seeing eye" when it come to CGA, I have a real life beyond the internet. I didn't notice the count down site until CGAs price was already "pumped". And apparently no one on this thread can read past 2 pages, I mentioned the website was down in early Aug. Not my fault if you want to be ignorant:

Currently someone has "parked" (holding hostage) the old domain (cganomaly.com) and I haven't looked much more into it.


Thought I'd regurgitate some of the history of this coin so people can really grasp what is actually happening with CGA:

DISCLAIMER:
I do not own/control cganomaly.com (I never did apon further investigation I actually DID have the domain registered under my name until February 6th 2015). The domain was purchased by another user during the first week of launching the coin (2 years ago). That user gave me access to the web server to maintain the site. Since then a LOT has changed within the community. I lost access to the server that was hosting the original cganomaly.com and I never renewed/purchased the domain (I didn't have the funds for web hosting and such at the time). During this time I was also going through a lot of personal life events (which is why I dropped off the face of the internet). Then the "Diemcoin team" contacted me saying they wanted to "revive" CGA. Since I was still in the middle of sorting out my personal life, I gave them "the reigns" in hope that they would update the code and such. They "updated" the code enough to stop the MASSIVE amount of forks that was happening constantly within the original code. The coin network has been running without any known major forks. Poloniex has been sending me 'hints' of delisting because the source code is neglected which is why I have been working on updating the code base...

So back to the domain 'cganomaly.com': After the original site went down someone (my guess is from Taiwan Japan, based on the default language of the site) 'parked' cganomaly.com, and then shortly after had (from what I remember) a nail/hair/salon/spa site up on the domain. Then magically the site is changed to the "Unprecedented Tech" site with a countdown, the link was spammed a few times in the Poloniex Trollbox and now we have a shit show...  The domain owner is selling (ransoming) the domain for +$700, but I don't negotiate/cooperate with terrorists. This is one (of many) reason(s) why the coins name should be changed (as stated in my previous post...).

THE ACTUAL (BARELY FUNCTIONAL) WEBSITE IS HERE: http://s4w3d0ff.github.io/cganomalywebsite
THE MOST RECENT BRANCH OF CGA(v2) IS HERE: https://github.com/s4w3d0ff/CryptographicAnomaly2

REAL CGA NEWS:
I am STILL updating the code!
I am also setting up the new website, a dedicated seed node, and community forum.

FAQ:
"How long until I'm filthy rich because of your hard work?"
How ever long it takes me...



It is just one, unprofessional, hobbyist (who periodically makes 'high school level' spelling, grammatical, and mathematical errors with no shame) working on the code in his free time.




Due to various reasons, Cryptographic Anomaly will be going through some changes.

These require first priority. They have first priority over ANY OTHER concern because, if these things don't happen the coin won't live much longer:

  • CODE UPDATE - The coins code needs to be updated to some version of Bitcoin core. Things need to be addressed, like what base code should be used, what features (if any) are to be added, and who should have access to the development repo (We need more bodies maintaining the code then just myself even if it is just someone periodically popping into github and adding a checkpoint or useful link).
  • Branding - Should a re-branding happen (the name has been confusing for non-native English speakers)? If re-branded, then new social media pages need to be created, and possible new logo (I have been working on updating the logo, it wont change to much).
  • Web presence - http://s4w3d0ff.github.io/cganomalywebsite source: https://github.com/s4w3d0ff/cganomalywebsite but it would still be nice to have our own site and forum. We also need social media managers to maintain the social sites that allow moderators.
  • Whitepaper - We have this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cQJE8P0mR6n-9_F5BuI8sDvjNn-SD3VTPHK9ulxpgUQ/edit?usp=sharing It is a good starting point, but like I said before it is very outdated.

These things are NOT a priority and will be addressed by the main developers ONLY after the list above has been 90% completed (I say this because of the lack of bodies, if we had a solid crew committed to the software, these things could be done simultaneously/autonomously):

  • Network Services - Pools, block explorers, etc.
  • Other Services - Exchanges, markets, games, applications, etc.
  • Media - Blogs, Videos, wallpapers, banners, etc.
  • Translations - For the web page, whitepaper and forum as well as community support (helping out with general translations between members)

What this means is, until the updated coin software is ready to be released and a basic web presence has been established for the possible re-branding, no one should be overly concerned about getting a pool/block explorer running, or getting added to new exchanges/services (it is pointless if the code is going to change).

I will attempt to be on IRC in #CGAnomaly (freenode) as frequently/consistently as possible to answer any questions, address concerns, and point volunteers into the right direction. (Just don't bug me too much if you want anything to get done Tongue)

PLEASE DO NOT ASK/TELL ME ANYTHING "INVESTMENT" RELATED INVOLVING CGA, I DO NOT CARE. I WILL NOT HELP YOU BUY A GOLD UNICORN.

Who knows... maybe the owner is actually making some sort of "unprecedented tech" that they want to share with the CGA community... or it is just a troll

Hello!
I have wallet.dat CGA - V1. I do not know how many coins. How can I upgrade to V2?

That is going to be tricky. We would have to verify that the coins on that .dat are from the old chain and not mined/transfered after the fork, then we would have to find the "cache" of premined coins left over from the swap (I personally don't have access, someone from the diem team is holding it... I think).

Hello,

I am excited to become involved in the community and can head the task of rebranding and social media development. Have you any logo mock designs or can I get to work on something?

Who currently holds the accounts?

My time is in abundance for this moment and I like to work quickly.

If developers need funding to make some changes we can assist. I am not familiar with state of affairs but if you can get tasks assigned regarding the technical development I will help pay for the work.

Anyone that wants to be apart of a strong community should voice their support and get on board! The coins been around for over 2 years and stood the test of time. Its not going to disappear and can only rise in strength.

Lets get to work

CGA's code needs to be "copy/pasted" into the latest version of Litecoin, this can be done in such a way that another "coin-swap" is not necessary (personally I cringe thinking about it) but I currently am lagging behind in staying updated with bitcoins source code changes. We need another developer who has worked with bitcoin core code and knows where key variables are (without hours of googling on my part). At the very least the current code should get prepped for the future code transfer (checkpoints and such).

We should set up community funded seed nodes. I think the cheapest Digitial Ocean droplet might work, put up a donate address that is attached to the droplet and voilà.

Currently someone has "parked" (holding hostage) the old domain (cganomaly.com) and I haven't looked much more into it. We do have control of the Facebook (managed by me) and Twitter(managed by the diem team... maybe lol). The reddit was managed by tf2honeybadger but he is quite busy and elusive (but I can still contact him if we need to add an admin/mod). The old CGA website old source code should be trashed and redone.

The old logo was create by someone that never claimed the bounty... they just dropped off an amazing logo and then never sent an address to claim the bounty so... a new logo would make me feel less guilty. The name "Cryptographic Anomaly" (as sexy as it sounds) is confusing and hard to translate in other languages (believe me, I spent hours on IRC with someone from China trying to find a suitable translation) and it is a lot to type. CGAnomaly is a nice "short hand" alias but still hard to translate. I had the idea of PenroseCoin (ROSE) as the new brand name, playing off of the current logo and this coins crypto-paradox. Since Penrose is a name, the translation should be easier if not necessary at all. And who doesn't like giving/receiving ROSEs?

I have already been tweaking the old logo and here are some results (Blender Tongue I have svgs somewhere...):





PS: I have started a side project involving CGA and online gaming but it is still just a concept.

Due to various reasons, Cryptographic Anomaly will be going through some changes.

These require first priority. They have first priority over ANY OTHER concern because, if these things don't happen the coin won't live much longer:

  • CODE UPDATE - The coins code needs to be updated to some version of Bitcoin core. Things need to be addressed, like what base code should be used, what features (if any) are to be added, and who should have access to the development repo (We need more bodies maintaining the code then just myself even if it is just someone periodically popping into github and adding a checkpoint or useful link).
  • Branding - Should a re-branding happen (the name has been confusing for non-native English speakers)? If re-branded, then new social media pages need to be created, and possible new logo (I have been working on updating the logo, it wont change to much).
  • Web presence - Thanks to the DIEM team we have http://cga.thehouseofdiem.info/ (which is VERY outdated, source: https://github.com/s4w3d0ff/cganomalywebsite) but it would still be nice to have our own site and forum. We also need social media managers to maintain the social sites that allow moderators.
  • Whitepaper - We have this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cQJE8P0mR6n-9_F5BuI8sDvjNn-SD3VTPHK9ulxpgUQ/edit?usp=sharing It is a good starting point, but like I said before it is very outdated.

These things are NOT a priority and will be addressed by the main developers ONLY after the list above has been 90% completed (I say this because of the lack of bodies, if we had a solid crew committed to the software, these things could be done simultaneously/autonomously):

  • Network Services - Pools, block explorers, etc.
  • Other Services - Exchanges, markets, games, applications, etc.
  • Media - Blogs, Videos, wallpapers, banners, etc.
  • Translations - For the web page, whitepaper and forum as well as community support (helping out with general translations between members)

What this means is, until the updated coin software is ready to be released and a basic web presence has been established for the possible re-branding, no one should be overly concerned about getting a pool/block explorer running, or getting added to new exchanges/services (it is pointless if the code is going to change).

I will attempt to be on IRC in #CGAnomaly (freenode) as frequently/consistently as possible to answer any questions, address concerns, and point volunteers into the right direction. (Just don't bug me too much if you want anything to get done Tongue)

PLEASE DO NOT ASK/TELL ME ANYTHING "INVESTMENT" RELATED INVOLVING CGA, I DO NOT CARE. I WILL NOT HELP YOU BUY A GOLD UNICORN.

I would like to propose that we move CGA to DGC (Digitalcoin) code. It is based on Bitcoin core and supports 3 algos.

Think about it.

Re: [ANN][CGA]Cryptographic Anomaly V2.0 Swap Coin Before 10/1!!!

Not sure if this was addressed yet:

I tried to "swap" my V1 CGA from Swisscex (putting the V1 swap address [prefix:A] that I received from the swap site in the "withdraw" box) only to get an "invalid address" error. I then just tried my V2 address and it went through and confirmed.

So what I gathered from this is that Swisscex did their own swap, have the V2 wallet running and are still delisting.

If anyone else has CGA at Swisscex, you can (and should) withdraw them into your V2 wallet.

--SNIP QUOTES--


And for the buying pressure, we need a few things:
1: the swap to finish
2: PR campaign using 1 billion hex as well, can't solely rely on the game even though Noble went underground when UK made their law decisions -- which were being ratified last I knew.
3: if no game, CGA needs merchants and more "something" to draw attention.
4: Possibly a buy up campaign? maybe offer a sale for half price for some of the undestroyed V2 premine as a bonus to THOSE PEOPLE ONLY buying cga off the exchanges, proven with screenshots and wallet messages? (I'd still like to see ~2000 destroyed, reminder... haha Tongue) then we could use that BTC for some buy support or other services or whatever. This way adopters of CGA will get 1.5x the amount of CGA for the prices at exchanges. True, they could sell, but if we start gaining steam here in the forum and with innovation or services, then why can't CGA reach those awesome prices of 100k-130k satoshis or even half, dissuading those 1.5x investors from selling for a long time.

I'm telling you... if cga is around for 1 billionhex.... that will create the moonshot. and I don't ever say "to the moon..." but from my diablo 2 experiences with people buying items with FGS (the forum based currency for diablo2, not an actual crypto), then absolutely cga will skyrocket. It alllllll depends on what items are associated with/represented by CGA. Since CGA is so rare, I assume CGA would be used for the rarest items in the game. If people own actual CGA outside of the game, they could pay for the item in CGA and trade in forums!!! This is why the game is so crucial.


I was told by Noble that CGA would be used for large purchases (planets, moons and such) but that might of changed, I have not talked to him for sometime. I have been thinking of selling penrose triangles made of wood (sanded, stained, finished, and of different types of wood).


In case you didn't know:

The reason I stepped back from CGA (but was never really gone) is because I had a lot of life events going on at once. I lost the time I had sitting here on the computer (partially because when I created CGA I was unemployed and now I am not), I moved twice, was the "best man" at my brothers wedding (which I had to help set up Tongue), and now I am 100 miles from home laying down custom hardwood floors in the mountains. I am here still and (as promised to a few members) will be the last one here if CGA ever dies.

SO, In a few weeks I might start making those penrose triangles. I have one already, made out of pine that was "reclaimed" from an old tobacco barn somewhere in the midwest (USA). Once I start making these I will sell them for 1 CGA each regardless of price.


Hmm... planets and moons.... real estate, heh! That's cool! Now I could picture buying platinum mines on asteroids.... and the entire asteroid! See if you can get an update from "someone who isn't him"... haha..  Wink Wink

No worries about what you had to do, just glad you came back. Thanks again! You saved our investments and minings. Don't be insulted by how I refer to you "moving" in quotes like that, I just knew there had to be more to the story, that's all. Cheesy

Triangles are a cool thing, too. +1

Yes I have learned the ways of the forc..... forum and try to not to get angry or offended Tongue. It had been awhile and I am sure people were wondering, so I thought I would enlighten them so that the whispers would go away. Yes, I am still working with the new CGA devs. I am kinda here and there, a little bit here in BCT and a bit in IRC @freenode #CGAnomaly, but mostly I am at work swinging a hammer Tongue.

I am learning new languages in my spare time (mostly PHP and Python) and hope to bring forward an innovative new service for CGA. We will see how much time I can squeeze. Roll Eyes
