I like that…

There’s no need to worry about ASIC development in my opinion… From what I’ve seen from Zenpool and “Hashlets” and also what I’ve seen with scrypt ASIC’s, the future of mining really is in the cloud.

We simply need enough coins mining via NeoScrypt and they will add Neo to their list of algo’s.

They have SHA and Scrypt with ScryptN or x11 next maybe… Point been these hashlets they call them are algo upgradable…

Maybe they have themselves access to a SuperComputer, I don’t know… but I really think this is one we will have to wait and see…

For now, we should be more focused on increasing the performance of the GPUminer.

Upstream -> p2pool node status hub.

I was looking into security of p2pool, then this came up today :

**jasonswan ** commented 13 hours ago

There are two major security holes in the default jsonp.php file. An attacker could easily fetch any file off the local server by simply passing in a filename into $_GET[‘report’] variable. Second, an attacker could essentially send out and receive web requests on behalf of your server, since theres no validating of the hostname. I’ve added the ability to whitelist a hostname in case anyone wants to lock their script down.

Seems like the daemon died, I have restarted it now and the explorer is updating and the API should follow shortly.

I believe ftc’s core strength is that, out of all the coins, we don’t pick a niche or single element to base our coin around. We should be implementing the best of all the open source material available, then build upon it.

It would be nice to have a single download for everything. The wizard gives you all the choices of which modules you want installed, along with the option of routing all the traffic through the tor network.

If we could have a way for merchants to have their products on their website browsable within this “program” which hosts the ftc wallet as a module, like what flobdeth said, payments could be made directly.

If one was able to only pick one OR as many different modules that they want, it provides a one stop download that could be designed for the average user. I really do believe that simplicity is key. You can’t just have a wallet on it’s own. It’s no use without having an exchange or miner or place to buy goods and services. Right now the amount of accounts for various aspects of been involved in crypto’s is scattered everywhere. Ave Joe cbf’s with all that.

So let’s put it all in one place. Modules could consist of:

Wallet Social (could it be possible to pull stuff from the forum like followed topics, pm’s etc?) Link (browsing and/or publishing) Block explorer Bitmessage Tor (or maybe even the tor browser itself as well?) Shopfront (for browsing both the ftc marketplace and merchants who implement it on their end) Decentralised Exchange Team Portal (the organisational aspect wrapper and I tried out with trello etc) MinerX

This project is now pinned.

I’ve got some questions about the map, and am now having to learn scripting and cron jobs, which I could do with some help with -

So I have created the [Dev] page for the Feathercoinmap.

https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?app=forums&module=post&section=post&do=new_post&f=131

I’ve only done this in Python, as thats all I know (and I don’t know much about that)

I use a requests.get call to the API to return the value I’m looking for in this case it’s the current value of 1 FTC to enable the conversion between pounds later in the program, I also do it using payloads as that works out for me better as I’m doing a couple more calls into the API later as the transaction moves on so can just substitute the “payload” data

import requests     #returns current feathercoin value def toFTC(v,c='gbp',j='0'):     payload = {'output': c, 'amount': v, 'json': j}     to_ftc_url = 'http://api.feathercoin.com/'     ftotal=-1     try:         r = requests.get(to_ftc_url, params=payload)         print(r.url)         if r.status_code == 200:             ftotal = round(float(r.text) ,6)     except:         pass     return ftotal print toFTC(1)

If you run the above the output printed to the screen is the current FTC value in GBP, rounded to 6 decimal places. If you wanted to do it the other war around i.e. how many FTC to the FIAT the api call needs to look something like this

http://api.feathercoin.com/?output=ftcgbp&amount=1&json=1

where you can specify the FIAT currency as follows

?output=ftcaud (Australia)  ?output=ftceur (Euro) ?output=ftcgbp (Great Britian) ?output=ftcnzd (New Zealand) ?output=ftcusd (United States)

Hope this gives you a pointer in the right direction

Thank you very much for this.

I’ve been struggling to do just this all night (I am a cut and paste coder) and only barely know how to install a library on Python let alone do any useful coding

As I still have a spare Raspberry Pi and several Arduinos lying around and was thinking of making an ‘old school’ analogue meter display showing current price of FTC and high and low prices over the last week.

Something similar to this

http://makezine.com/projects/data-dial-dashboard/

No real value in the project other than its something to do.

Wow, Excellent work.

I am testing the code, I encountered a problem. After starting the wallet, it automatically exits. :-[

How to output information to debug.log file ?

That’s great work Lizhi - I’ve added [Dev] - in case others want to add some patches.

Is there an instructions on which version are available to compile under Linux?. I’ll try it in a virtual box compile.

There are differences to how the Hash rate is calculated. Because of its probabilistic nature an average is used. For the Feathercoin web site it is sampled over about 30 blocks, the hash rate can appear higher for short periods.

The hash rate can appear high due to strip mining where large hash rates are employed for short periods. Despite the fact that this is only marginally more effective than a lower hash rate spread permanently, they obviously don’t care what effect that has on the stability of a coins hash rate.

I’ve put an AP up on the trello board for this. We should definitely try to put together a team to work on this!

I am on the road quite a bit during the working week it would be much easier to keep ontop of all the posts being made in the forum. Would be lovely to have.

Cheers
