Attempting to install Decred

Github project:

https://github.com/decred/dcraddrgen.git

GO installation:

sudo apt-get install gccgo-go
mkdir ~/gocode

Add to .bashrc

export GOPATH=$HOME/gocode

Now get the address generator:

go get -u github.com/decred/dcraddrgen

Currently getting errors, will update this post later…

EDIT: This post is old, I was able to get my decred wallet working and will post details in later posts.

I already had the dependencies, just needed to download and compile.

git clone https://github.com/myriadcoin/myriadcoin.git
cd ~/myriadcoin
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-gui=qt5
make
cd ~/myriadcoin/src/qt
make

My bitcoind was always crashing after about 12 hours and I would restart it. I had a script that ran after a reboot, but that didn’t help to restart it after a crash. I tried Upstart scripts but they wouldn’t work at reboot, although I could start/stop them at will after configuration.

I found the answer here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25518.msg8733922#msg8733922

So this is what my /etc/init/bitcoind.conf looks like now.

description "bitcoind"

start on filesystem
stop on runlevel [!2345]
oom score -500
expect fork
respawn
respawn limit 10 60 # 10 times in 60 seconds

script
	user=yourusername
	home=/home/$user
	cmd=/usr/local/bin/bitcoind
	pidfile=$home/bitcoind.pid
	# Don't change anything below here unless you know what you're doing
	[[ -e $pidfile && ! -d "/proc/$(cat $pidfile)" ]] && rm $pidfile
	[[ -e $pidfile && "$(cat /proc/$(cat $pidfile)/cmdline)" != $cmd* ]] && rm $pidfile
	exec start-stop-daemon --start -c $user --chdir $home --pidfile $pidfile -m --startas $cmd
end script

I have similar scripts for my other coins.

There are several things you must do to accomplish this without any user intervention. It is up to you to decide if any of these pose as a security risk depending on your situation.

1. Enable your user to automatically login
2. Start all your CryptoCoins at login
3. Unlock all your CryptoCoin Wallets at login
4. Run NOMP as root

Enable your user to automatically login:

• System Settings
• User Accounts
• Automatic Login

Start all your CryptoCoins at login:

• Create a script for each coin “run_bitcoin-qt”

/usr/local/bin/bitcoin-qt -server

• Create a “start_all_coin_wallets” script

echo Starting Crypto Coins...
/usr/local/bin/bitcoin-qt -server &
/usr/local/bin/mazacoin-qt -server &
/usr/local/bin/titcoin-qt -server &
/usr/local/bin/UniversalCurrency-qt -server &
/usr/local/bin/zetacoin-qt -server &
echo Wallets Started.

• Here is the daemon version.  Seems to be more stable, but you have to compile the daemon’s for each coin.

echo Starting Crypto Coins...
/usr/local/bin/bitcoind -daemon &
/usr/local/bin/mazacoind -daemon &
/usr/local/bin/titcoind -daemon &
/usr/local/bin/UniversalCurrencyd -daemon &
/usr/local/bin/zetacoind -daemon &
echo Wallets Started.

• Add the “start_all_coin_wallets” script to “Startup Applications”

Unlock all your CryptoCoin Wallets at login:

• Create a script that passes the “walletpassphrase” command
• Example:

  /usr/local/bin/bitcoin-cli walletpassphrase "this should be your passphrase in these quotes" 9999999
  

• Since you don’t know how long it will take to bootup all your wallets, you can set this to run every 5 minutes just to be sure.
  • Do this by adding it to the “Scheduled Tasks”

Run NOMP as root

• Why? because “node” needs to run as root or your website won’t work.
• Create a “run_nomp” script, something like this

  echo Starting NOMP...
  cd /home/yourusername/www/nomp
  sudo node init.js
  

• You will have to add a line to /etc/sudoers

  yourusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

• Add “run_nomp” to “Startup Applications”

  gnome-terminal -e "/home/yourusername/bin/run_nomp"
  

Reboot your server and watch it boot up.

Nomp:
—-

cd ~/source
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
sudo apt-get install redis-tools
sudo apt-get install redis-server
git clone https://github.com/zone117x/node-open-mining-portal.git nomp
cd ~/source/nomp

—-
Copied the nomp to my www folder and configured.

Folders that needed configuring:
coins
pool_config

Files that need configuring:

Well, I got this configured and I’m happy to say that all the alt coin wallets that I attempted to mine solo before, but got 100% rejects, are now working. Perhaps it is because of the startum protocol built into this mining pool.

I also got the profitability coin switching working, although I only enabled Cryptsy for the profit checking.

So far, I like this little piece of software, and great job developers. It does seem to still be in beta, but for now is functional for what I need to do. Which is solo mining alt coins.

If I have time, I’ll see if I can help out, but doesn’t seem likely with my schedule.

This coin was about the easiest to compile except for MazaCoin which was the easiest. It was also the longest to compile.  The make created zetacoind, zetacoind-cli, zetacoin-qt. It worked after adding the –with-incompatible-bdb flag to configure.

cd ~/source
git clone https://github.com/zetacoin/zetacoin.git
cd ~/source/zetacoin
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-incompatible-bdb
make

This coin gave a bit of trouble.  It may have been my libraries were conflicting and I was running the wrong version of qmake.  What finally worked was to uninstall both versions, re-installed both versions, then ran these commands:

cd ~/source
git clone https://github.com/OfficialTitcoin/titcoin-wallet
apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev
qmake-qt4
make clean
make
