[ANN][MOON] Mooncoin: You know where it's headed! KGW exploit FIXED 4/3/2014

[aaron_m]

UPDATE 4/6/2014

Still need help with the GUI wallets...

I'm sitting on a Kimoto Gravity Well enabled 0.8.6 build of the new client which works perfectly in headless mode but I have had no luck (which is all it really is, because I am not a Windows/Mac dev) getting a good build. Everything compiles clean, but when I launch the Windows GUI wallet, I get this:

"EXCEPTION: N5boost10filesystem16filesystem_errorE
boost::filesystem::status: The operation completed successfully: "C:
\Users\Deacon\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup\Mooncoin.lnk"
C:\deps\mooncoin\release\mooncoin-qt.exe in Runaway exception"

I've seen a few people mention this error with regard to Bitcoin-qt and Dogecoin-qt, but nobody ever shares the solution.

Sent you 3 messages (2 from me and 1 from a dev), but got no reply

What do you think about this icon?
We can use this for less graphic, like icon or advertising something...



And above picture to represent detailed mooncoin.

Side (A) & Side (B)



Just want to know if Deaconboogie would be ok with this?

Reposting...

Yeah he doesn't seem to read his messages as. haven't had a reply either. Probably posting here is best....
Thanks for your help! Deaconboogie please check your messages!

oudekaas, lets make it happens....we got to create a strong coin!

look, do you know who post on facebook? and other social medias? may i help with that?

We should change the infos on facebook, giving information about the coin, and the links to know more about the coin. what do you think?

yeah I am not sure who is busy on facebook, I have no facebook account tbh. Check reddit and mooncointalk.info the guys there can help out I am sure.
Nothing to stop ou from setting up a facebook page though I will try and setup a page as well to spread the moon around!
We need to make sure that investors understand we need more funding and help!

question for dev: I know you ate very busy with getting that freaking wallet to work, must be a pain.
But if you have time at some stage, could you gives us your longterm plans for this coin.
Obvioulsy mooncoin is your baby, so we are kinda hoping you will take the lead.
What do u think about these sellwalls... what are your plans after setting up the gravity well.

Like I said, I am kinda losing faith, if u check orbitcoin they seem to be a hell of a lot more active in the way of promoting the coin and getting universities involved.

So we either have to do the same and better, or choose a totally different direction or work together and combine the communities. How bout the first coinmerger in the history of cryptoworld

[aaron_m]

The dev i was talking about tried him on irc too....  No reply yet

[jepistons]

Ya I agree dev need to let us knows whats up seems like 3 to 4 of us really wants to move the coin in a better direction word to dev please let us know how can we help u  not how u can help us.....

UPDATE #2: 2/6/2014

Windows GUI status:

I am trying some different versions of Boost.

Mac GUI status:

BTCtalk forum user maxpower has agreed to provide a workable Mac wallet when the time comes. I will be providing him source code shortly.

The plan for release:

Once I have either the ability to make my own wallet or have solid resources confirmed for building the wallets, I will adjust the stating block for the Kimoto Gravity Well and release the new source to github. Right now, the starting block is 27,000 which will take too long. We'll probably give a three day "heads up" and calculate the appropriate starting block then.

The blockchain should not fork as I am using the same crypto keys for the new version.

Thanks for the update if there a bounty for him pretty sure we can pitch in

Great news!

I have a suggestion. Guys, if you support it please speak up!

I was looking into Vertcoin lately. It looks very impressive that they gathered so vital community so quickly. Their coin uses this Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor, which happens to be a very powerful hype and attracts a huge crowd of ASIC haters. Their reddit base grew by 600 in just one day and continues to grow at a surprising rate.

I was thinking: as Mooncoin is going to have a hard fork soon anyway, maybe we should consider switching to Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor. In this case Mooncoin will be the first coin to adapt the new technology and will attract Vertcoin adepts. Also, Mooncoin will be unique in a way that it combines the hypes from two successful communities (Doge and Vertcoin).

I'm pretty sure, other altcoins are thinking in this way too, we must not stay behind.

What do you think, guys?

First of all, is it possible? If changing the algorism(Scrypt to Scrypt-Jane) without a discontinue of existing blockchain,
Why wouldn't other alt-coins do it? (I'm just wondering atm)
Will existing mooncoin mining pools be able to mine further? (without huge changes?)

It would be awsome if anybody have a clue of this!
and... i'd definately support this idea! (by this decision, mooncoin will be the king of Scrypt-Jane in a short period)

[GambitBTC]

Any interest in a MOON super lottery?


Well its just a regular lottery, but i make it super

It's possible: before height X calculate hash with old function, after height X - calculate hash with new function. The reasons why other altcoins don't do it:
  (a) hard forks are very annoying and risky, especially when the coin is already widely adopted
  (b) most altcoins don't have devs competent enough to do the change.

Mooncoin is still in its infant stage, we're forced to do a hard fork soon, and we have Deacon who's able to do the change (the complexity of the change is not higher than switching to gravity well). So I think we should consider it.

Great news! I really like your idea!

Let's make mooncoin the KING OF SCRYPT-JANE CRYPTOCOIN! (before it's too late!!)

[oudekaas]

I support your idea, let's hear it from Dev

[ratcatcher]

I'm new to Mooncoin so could someone explain to me the background to the redesign of the wallet (or direct me to the page in this thread where it's discussed in detail)?

Is the current Qt wallet (0.6.4.0) considered usable?  I have noticed that it has some problems synchronising and catching up with recent transactions.

I'm also unsure why a fork is being proposed.  Again, perhaps I missed some earlier discussion.

T-shirts, iphone and Samsung Galaxy cases, pins,
mugs, stickers, mousepads, bags and more sufs with
Mooncoin logo

AWESOME IDEA, I do like the other mooncoinlogo better the less shiny one. It gives more of a Moon feel to it, like someone else mentioned before the moonpicture you are using is brighterbthen the sun itself
Nevertheless that is brilliant work!

I would personally buy a few thins if the logo looked a bit cooler, check the artwork from fayens.

[oudekaas]

Thank you all.

Maybe like this?



This is not official logo! Only contribution.

Talking about this logo. But I guess we need devs approval if he is ok with that if you agree as well.
SOme of the art fayens made looks really cool as a picture on a Black t-shirt for instance.
