@kahir: I haven't used the Cuda miner so I don't know much about it. But I'm pretty sure it should use more than 20% of your GPU. Maybe try upgrading or downgrading your graphics driver.

@SISAR: My suspicions about the bad nodes seems to be correct. I tried doing a fresh sync on my linux machine and had similar problems. I was able to make it work by deleting everything in the data folder except the wallet and the conf files and adding the explorer node to the conf file:

addnode=206.72.193.148

No I believe that expert area has always been hidden in Cryptonite, I can't remember what is usually there now, but I think it was something to do with coin control or change addresses. Don't need to worry about change addresses in Cryptonite because there is no such thing as change.

That's a known bug, has always been like that, not sure why though because nothing was changed which should have altered the wallet backup functionality. Might be another issue inherited from the version of Bitcoin we forked from. If you want to make a backup of your wallet file just make a copy of the wallet.dat file.

I've downloaded the new Windows QT and opened the wallet, but no connections are found/wallet can't sync.

I see that my XCN folder lacks a .conf file; I imagine its inclusion would help a lot.

Can you please post a working XCN .conf file??

Thanks.

here I leave some nodes:


It was frustrating to barely get the wallet working; have tried different things, addnode added exactly as what said, deleted entire directory except wallet.dat and conf also, well but got the same issue! Any ideas? I guess many people would stop looking into this coin (or just me run into this issue?) if the wallet simply not working.

@JasonSW: Not sure why it wouldn't work if you followed my instructions on the last page. I would suggest you try syncing using cryptonited instead of Qt, it is more stable. Once you are fully synced you can switch back to Qt.

@GingerAle: it looks like http://cryptoncoin.com is still working. I have no idea why that would work but cryptonite.info will not work. I have opened a support ticket with my host so the main domain should be fixed soon.

sorry for what seems like spamming this thread. my head gets moving and I can't stop.

it seems this balance-type "blockchain" would be a good fit with blockless cryptocurrency, as described here with DAGcoin.

so instead of having the miniblockchain, as described for cryptonite, you have some kind of DAGchain.... and the balance-type fixes a problem with DAGcoin, in that DAGcoin requires there to be an extant blockchain of outputs to use. If I understand how cryptonite works (which I probably don't), when a user goes to make a transaction, they are essentially minting coins (from their available balance). 

im trying to compile in ubuntu...

gbone@gbone-therock:~/Cryptonite$ ./autogen.sh
./autogen.sh: 5: ./autogen.sh: autoreconf: not found

@GingerAle Sorry about my delayed response, been busy killing brain cells over the weekend and haven't had much time to check this thread.

I believe I have attempted to come up with a rough estimation in the past but I can't remember what the answer was. You should be able to get a rough idea by checking the current size of the trie and how many addresses exist. It wont be small though, at least a few dozen gigabytes in size. But I highly doubt we'll ever actually reach a point where that many addresses exist, and if we did it would be a very long time from now. We could probably come up with a good solution if it ever starts to become a problem anyway.

There has been some discussion in this thread about methods for making transactions more anonymous and private. I think one of the most promising techniques is stealth payments because it should be compatible with the mini-blockchain scheme. Edit: there is also this thread which you may find interesting, but it looks like the links to his paper don't work anymore: Anonymity in the Mini-Blockchain scheme

I will read into how DAGcoin works and get back to your later with my thoughts, it seems like it could be an interesting concept.

Coins are never really minted in Cryptonite, even coinbase transactions have an input which points to the coinbase account. Coins get subtracted from one account and added to another when a transaction happens. If you add up all the balances of the accounts in the account tree it will always be the same because the coinbase account started off with all the coins.
