Is this the same with bootstrap.dat ?
So you can load it with memorycoind -loadblock ?

no, its just a pregenerated file made by the servers which can be directly downloaded to the client to speed up the block header download.

bootstrap.dat? No, and you dont load it in memorycoind, it only works with the electrum wallet.

Hey, is it possible if someone with a little technical background, after getting this to work, could use the py2exe application (http://py2exe.org/) to simplify all this into a single, standalone executabe? Like they have on the original electrum download page.

This is a great idea. Is there a similar packager for the Mac?

Also the install for Android looks very daunting. Is it achievable in theory to package everything required into a single .adt - or even distribute through the Play store?

For Mac, Yep, I believe it says I'm the package description on the front of the package repository.

Android install depends on a library Google does not allow on the play store, so no.

I will be back home (traveling at the moment) Friday or Saturday night - as soon as I am back I will setup a shared hosting account at Go Daddy and if I am able to get it working well - I can setup about 15 more.   

Does it matter what host name I use?  I have a few domains  that I really dont care much about that I can donate to the cause if host-name is not important.


Thanks,

15 nodes? The original Electrum network only has 8 or so...

Wow, that is... unbelievable.

The hostname is not important, just so long as the hosting is reliable.

ELECTRUM ON WINDOWS

1) open setup.py with text editor and change line 18 from

Code: [Select]

usr_share = '/usr/share'to

Code: [Select]

usr_share = 'C:\Users\<YOUR USER NAME>\AppData\Roaming\Electrum-MMC'
2) Download & install python

3) open cmd line and go to your electrum directory

4) Depending on where your python is installed, execute 

Code: [Select]

C:\Python27\python.exe .\setup.py install
5) Download PyQT4 from http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/download
Select the correct PyQt4 Download based on your installed python version! 32 vs 64 Bit is based on your python version, not OS!

6) Install PyQt4; on "choose components" screen, select at least "Qt runtime" and "developer tools"

7) open cmd line and go to your electrum directory

8 ) Depending on where your python is installed, execute 

Code: [Select]

C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4\pyrcc4.exe icons.qrc -o gui/qt/icons_rc.py
9) Start Electrum GUI with

Code: [Select]

C:\Python27\python.exe .\electrum

I will hold off on updating the instructions until we know for sure.

Thanks BTChris for the detailed instructions, which I am not good at

Thanks reorder!

At long last, we should have new nodes coming into existance for the wallet software hopefully by tomorrow. Emre has graciously provided 2 additional nodes, and BTChris has mentioned he will run a server node as well.

Nobody has reported any problems, which is good. The 2 nodes I run have been unbelievably stable. Free Trade unfortunately has not given the wallet a try yet, but I am sure he will give it some publicity eventually.

I have read this multiple times... it is very good. Might be a little biased, but still excellent reasoning.

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)

Very fast from germany

OK, at least it is fast in Europe, just have to worry about the american audiences now
