I would like to propose another charity for CHA position - the Electronic Frontier Foundation (https://www.eff.org/)

What is different about this charity?

The organization works to protect digital rights in the online world from the prying governments.

The Memorycoin community likes the open internet, yes?

With the amount of money raised by the position, the EFF would consider us a "Super Major Donor", which is cool.

Can I trust that the money will arrive to the charity?

Yes! If you somehow do not know, I am the current CNO, and I remain active with the community. All the monetary value acquired in this account will be donated to the EFF in Bitcoins.

Why I am doing this? Because I want the community to have more options on different types of charities to donate to.

To donate to this charity, vote (send 0.00000001 MMC) for this address: MVTEchapJHRRBkCKG4qBCJvYqc1ufmyYvm

As promised...

I warn the community - this is the original mmc.xpool.xram.co pool software. It should work out of the box if you follow the below instructions carefully.

Repository: https://github.com/KillerByte/memorypool

Compiling/Run Guide:


This gude assumes you have already built memorycoind on the same computer, it requires the same dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/KillerByte/memorypool
cd memorypool/src
make -f makefile.unix
mkdir -p ~/.memorycoin/pool/blocks
mkdir -p ~/.memorycoin/pool/oldblocks
./memorypool

It will accept connections from the memoryminer (needs to be updated) (https://github.com/KillerByte/memoryminer) on port 1335.

I plan on updating to the YAM miner within 24 hours with memoryminer, so the pool software has some competing chance.

JSONRPC functions for the pool are also available, including:

* getnumclients
* getuserinfo <username>
* getfoundblocks
* listpayouts (block #)
* ...and more, take a look at rpcpool.cpp

I will get an example website out pretty soon, which uses python jsonrpc to communicate with the server and display information on the website.

Again, this code is very rusty and needs to be updated, and I am not going to do it, I have other things to work on (Blockchain viewer, new distributed pool system, etc)

Projects completed within my first 5 days as CNO:

Fast Block Explorer: http://mmcexplorer.info/
Electrum Wallet: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2829.0
Open Source General Purpose Pool Software (needs work): https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2839.0

Planned Projects:

* Add addresses to block explorer

* New, more efficient pool software which will be used for the distributed pool system

* Electrum wallet (was working on it all day today, actually. See this project to get an idea: https://electrum.org/) I am having a few problems, but once I get it all organized, then it will be a great thin client and will make it easy to get a wallet on any computer (at least that is the hope). All of this project will be opensource. https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2829.0 - Got this done way sooner than expected. I think this will be great for the community

* Android Wallet - Like this: https://github.com/KillerByte/bitcoin-wallet - but for Memorycoin

* Whatever else the community needs - post suggestions here. I try to work on everything a little each day.

For those of you who do not know me, I was the first person to make a successful pool for memorycoin

...and I am back with new ideas and new services!

Who I am:

I am a speedy, supportive, and experienced developer in the US. I will work to maximize my work for pay.

What I am doing:

* Brand new, quick, KISS (that means simple) block explorer for block and transaction searching with AJAX and socket.io! (has some minor bugs, but really minor) (see below for link)

* Super fast bitcoin node (test it! ./memorycoin-qt -connect=xpool.xram.co, download speed is very fast alone!)

What I will do upon election:

* Move the block explorer to a nice domain on http port

* Make accurate and equally fast node viewer

* Begin development of a new pool system, designed to balance the power:

    - Will either Opensource specialized pool code

                     - OR -

    - License it at a cheap price

* The pool software will be provided with the intention to be connected as part of a distributed network which will be autobalanced, spreading the wealth and using the power of numbers over 1GH. Additionally, small pools will be protected from DDoS attacks.

* Developers who run the distributed pools will be able to contribute to the code to improve the pool system
    - This IS NOT P2Pool!

Try out the awesome block explorer: http://xpool.xram.co:3000/

Like it? Then what are you waiting for? Cast your vote for CNO: Send 0.00000001 MMC to MVTEcnogH2ArcvpkYJ66GcErb1iwHhLPN1

I will begin all of the above projects upon election. Details regarding the plans will also be released.

Well, I have been working on XPool for a few days now. It has developed greatly and I have done much work to improve the pool.

Unfortunately, I keep running into problems, the pool server keeps crashing, and I do not have enough time to work on all the improvements I wanted to get done.

The pool software for my pool is not standard: it is written directly inside the source code for memorycoind. This has its advantages, but it causes alot of problems also.

I am unwilling to switch to a pushpool server at this time... simply because I have worked really hard on this pool and dont have time to restart.

I am not saying XRamPool is done or over (and YES, payouts will be executed one way or another, I even have the balance file ready with the correct balances. All will be payed properly), but I simply cant do it all. I am overwhelmed.

So I guess I have created this thread to get some help and insight on how to continue... I feel like people like the pool and if I could just fix these crashes, then things would be much better.

Should I just release the source code to the community to fix and make better? If that would be the case, would I still be able to recieve adequete funding to pay for the pool?

Would the community put the source code I publish into good use, or will it just be a useless project?
