Using the latest version of Mac OS I got this error after ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-boost-libdir=/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.63.0/lib && make

So I opened my text editor and edited that line to devlist = upnpDiscover(2000, multicastif, minissdpdpath, 0, 0, 0, 0);
After that edit the compile worked although I didn't actually go read the upnpDiscover code so I have no idea what I did.
With the current implementation there is not enough memory (at least for some 32 bit systems) to allocate statically and it must be dynamically allocated (heap). Solution: bitmarkcc@16b949e.
Update the sha sums of intermediaries in build process after openssl upgrade
Hi,
I'm running Bitmark-Qt-HighSierra_0.9.7.1-RC1.dmg and can't get my blockchain to sync.
My /Volumes/LaCie/AppSupport/Bitmark/debug.log file is full lines like the following:
2018-06-24 18:17:09 connect() to 127.0.0.1:9050 failed after select(): Connection refused (61)
2018-06-24 18:17:10 connect() to 127.0.0.1:9050 failed after select(): Connection refused (61)
...
2018-06-24 18:17:11 connect() to 127.0.0.1:9050 failed after select(): Connection refused (61)
Any idea what I can do to get passed this? I had the same problem is the previous version.
Thanks,
~Johnny
When I downloaded and ran bitmarkd (v0.9.7.0), I ran into
bitmarkd: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.58.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Could I get some help on debugging this?
Bitmark has a unique history, one of fairness, of utility, and one with a vision for a powerful use case, namely web scale marking
However, due to a combination of bad luck with miners and exchanges among other things, we have fallen below our potential
When people look at alt coins they think of exit scams, of founders getting rich, ICOs, dev taxes, premines and instamines. We did none of those things, and in fact, was one reason that our early years have been that much harder
How do we explain to people that this coin is different. ie that it is not a "sh*tcoin", as that will be the first question that anyone new to the project will likely ask. I also hear the concern raised that the coin is dominated by whales, however the price low enough right now and has been a while that anyone can buy a decent chunk
I suggest putting together a history from the genesis block, where we were released without any unfair advantages, of the early years and running out of resources, then the recovery, and poloniex troll box delivered to almost a million users. Then the miner attacks of famine and feast, followed by selfish mining rerogs. Followed by the fork discussion. Why it was done in a certain way. Then the cryptopia story. Until the current day where we are now
I wonder can we turn this and other points into part of a FAQ or something that we can put on the wiki or on the home page?
Related to some other issues, I'm unable to make on Ubuntu 20.04
bignum.h:594:77: error: cannot convert ‘const CBigNum*’ to ‘const BIGNUM*’
I believe this is related to openssl, but didnt work out how to fix it
Also, I'm doing final testing on development v0.9.7.5, which implements the "headers first, blocks-in-parallel" initial blockchain download (IBD/HF-BIP) strategy which debuted in bitcoin v0.10 This enables faster initial blockchain download, because only the block headers are initially obtained from a single peer; once the entire chain of headers is obtained and verified as correct, then the actual block data for each block is filled in, from several peers in parallel, concurrently.
Let's discuss this here. It seems it should be on hold until v.0.9.7.4 is working and the proposal is written up and reviewed, PRs associated with the issue, etc. Let's stop merging into master before review after v.0.9.7.4, please

liaise with leathan to setup.
For building with Ubuntu 22, gcc-11 (the default) fails. Thus we should instruct users to use gcc version <= 10 for now. Also the windows README shows an incorrect Bitmark version number. Solution: bitmarkcc@df1e617 and bitmarkcc@d58aa6a
Wallet causes the yiimp stratum to segfault if auxPOW is enabled on Lyra2v2.
We have a few little bits of the eco system dotted in various areas
This thread is open to add bits and pieces about the explorers, mining pools, wallets, wiki, source, libraries and other stuff as of 2021
Hopefully I'll be able to make a documentation of this after gathering the links

I guess this is some teething problems with the 20.04 build, good to keep an eye on it and track in this issue
Hi,
The new version of Bitmark core V.0.9.7 is getting close while synchronizing the block 451098. What need to be done to fix this issue
Regards
Sureshkumar, K
There are some problems with how openssl is used.
In bignum.h the BIGNUM *bn data member of CBigNum, is referenced by overloading the ampersand (&) operator. This can lead to unpredictable behavior (https://www.appmarq.com/public/changeability,8010,Do-not-overload-the-ampersand-comma-logical-AND-or-logical-OR-operators). Also, util.h does not need to be included.
The usage of ECDSA_SIG_get0 is not ideal... There also needs to be a call to ECDSA_SIG_set0 for openssl versions >= 1.01 when initializing the ECDSA sig (this leads to an error in one of the unit tests).
Solution: bitmarkcc@799f18c
I am convinced that we must have some algorithms returned to native-only status. Currently, since Fork 1 in June of 2018, all 8 Proof-of-Work algorithms are merge-mine enabled.
The advantage of merge-mining is that very large hashpower secures our blockchain throught harnessing hashrate of other coins via the AuxPoW mechanism. (This is particularly true of SHA256 and Scrypt)
The disadvantage is that there is no native mining any longer, and anyone interested in the Bitmark project and in mining bitmark must compete with very large "foreign" hashrate, unrelated to the Bitmark project. There is no focused, Bitmark-only dedicated mining for us now; all the mining is mostly the by-product of miners mining other coins and regarding Bitmark as a mere "small bonus".
Most other, if not all other, coins that allow merge-mining, always reserve some algos as exclusive to their blockchain
I believe we must address this by returning at least 1/3 or perhaps as many as 1/2 of our algorithms to native-only status. This will be a net improvement, with no downsides. This change does not affect neither the emission rate nor the total emission. We have always respected the total cap on emission. Security is rock solid with several algos and several of those with very large hash rates.
It only means that those with an interest in Bitmark for its own sake will have the ability to mine it without having to compete with any foreign, unrelated hashrate; in the native-only algos, they will have to compete only with other Bitmark miners.
We are due to freshen our algos in any case, because as several were chosen because of the hashrate or philosophy (democratic mining) of the coins implementing them and those coins have improved or changed the algos as well, we should keep up to date.
This is the case with Lyra2REv2, which was used by VertCoin. Now, VertCoin has adopted a proof-of-space algo developed by their team, to ensure widespread democratic mining, "VertHash". I believe we should replace Lyra2REv2 with VertHash
CryptoNight has also evolved and we should update it accordingly to harness the hashrate of the popular privacy coin, Monero; the same is true for ZCash's EquiHash.
To achieve at least 1/3 native algos, I recommend:
- Swapping Yescrypt merge-mined for Yespower as a native algo. The developer of both these algos, SolarDesigner, developed Yespower expressly for cyrptocurrency.
- Returning Argon2d to native mining.
- Introducing a 9th algo as native-only: our original algorithm SCrypt. We would then have merge-mined SCrypt, and the same algorithm SCrypt but in a native-only flavor.
I think these algo updates and restoring a measure of native mining are justified and desirable. There are also some minor bugs outstanding that need to be fixed, but require a hard fork. For these reasons, I think that another fork, Fork 2 is warranted and should be undertaken. We have traveled that road, and done it before, succesfully.
Getting everyone on the same page. The original emergency fork was a response to the inconsistent mining, firstly, famine and feast, and then large reorgs. Specifically it was unanimously agreed that the fork was a one off
By that reasoning a 2nd fork aka "Fork 2", is a hard NACK by default, unless as a bug fix. So, we should separate out bug fixes from new development. This is not a project with continuous rolling forks, like many other coins, we are simply a stable block chain on which to build our signature use case, namely marking
That said, I think we should stay open minded, and consider proposals on their merits, over time. We should keep up to date with innovation in the space. As before, the bar is extremely high and requires unanimous approval. The proposal should contain a logic and a motivation. Such as to allowing greater decentralization away from large mining pools
I'm opening this issue not to report a bug, but to start a discussion about merged mining in Bitmark, which potentially could be seen as Bitmark improvement proposal.
First I want to say kudos for adding multiple mining algorithms, kudos for new Coin Emission Modulation and for merged mining only half a kudos from me.
Merged mining can be seen as positive because it increases hash power, to prevent blockchain attacks, and on the other hand it is also a weakness because of mining centralization. Good summary about this: https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/791.pdf
Making every algorithm merged mineable, in my opinion, is unnecessary decision, and will eventually lead to mining centralization around small number of large pools.
But the biggest impact merge mining will have on the price. There are already couple of large mining pools that are merged mining some of the Bitmark algorithms. This pools doesn't send their miners Bitmarks. Mined Bitmarks are market sold on the exchanges and a miner receives Bitcoin or some more value coin. You can probably see where this is going to lead.
Also CEM doesn't have much sense with every POW is merged mineable, pool operator doesn't cost anything to produce new blocks, and they probably wont stop mining at any price.
So my biggest question is why every mining algorithm is made merged mineable?
Myriad coin is a good mPOW merged mineable coin example. Myriad coin has 5 POW algorithms, but only two of them are merged mineable - SHA256d and Scrypt. That way they made optimal solution that insures blockchain security, fair mining and coin price.
Some of mine ides how to overcome the above issues:
TLS / SSL Updates
The update for libboost and openssl has been done; branch 'ssl-only' on my github page takes care of that . It was developed as v0.9.7.3. Now that it is stable, I will soon merge it to the official master branch and tag it v0.9.7.4 and make an official release with binaries.

Hi,
To be consistent with all the other multi-algo coins could you add the missing fields:
pow_algo_id, pow_algo and difficulty
Example from ARG:
ARG scrypt
{
"version": 4140300,
"protocolversion": 1090000,
"walletversion": 60000,
"balance": 9.29367439,
"blocks": 3138494,
"timeoffset": -1,
"connections": 19,
"proxy": "",
"pow_algo_id": 1,
"pow_algo": "Scrypt",
"difficulty": 2637127.305992147,
"difficulty_sha256d": 2629485835.201973,
"difficulty_scrypt": 2637127.305992147,
"difficulty_lyra2re2": 200.2645212118318,
"difficulty_groestl": 5973.255004714738,
"difficulty_argon2d": 0.02092733630310869,
"difficulty_yescrypt": 0.127252427184466,
"testnet": false,
"keypoololdest": 1527772795,
"keypoolsize": 103,
"paytxfee": 0.00000000,
"relayfee": 0.00001000,
"errors": ""
}
The "difficulty": value should always match what the pow_algo is.
With the newer openssl (as in Ubuntu 22) some unit tests fail, so I've implemented Bitcoin's custom library for ECDSA crypto for validating signatures. For new blocks, signatures have to be strictly DER, but for prefork blocks that's not the case, as well as in the unit tests. This library can be useful for other ECDSA crypto operations, but for now we can use it just for the signature validation. Here is the patch: bitmarkcc@e6bdd4b
There are many new files added in the src/secp256k1 dir. You can run a diff and check that they are the same as Bitcoin's (thus safe). The rest of the files changed are configure.ac, src/Makefile.am, src/Makefile.include, src/key.cpp, src/test/Makefile.am.

Modern distros are on the Berkley DB 5.x series;
workaround: "./configure --with-incompatible-bdb"; This might (will ?) result in generated wallet.dat not being readable by older versions of bitmark.
The currently listed service for getting the external ip is whatismyip.io doesn't seem to be working properly. Thus I recommend switching back to checkip.dyndns.org as patched in this commit: bitmarkcc@714657b

I think it would be a good idea to change the private key prefix from what it is now to 'b' + 128.
This will enable us to use lots of tooling without having to reengineer it and/or get patches upstream which can be quite time and work intensive.
I dont think much will break, because the underying private key is still the same independent of the base58 check prefix.
I use the latest source code.

Hi,
I'm trying to change the default algo but seems using
miningalgo=X17
in .conf doesn't take
and commandline
bitmarkd -miningalgo=X17
Doesn't either....
This change does not affect neither the emission rate nor the total emission
Further to this comment here from @dbkeys and follow up:
How do we verify the emission schedule for those that have followed the coin a while. I do get asked this and sympathetic people say to me 'they changed the emission'
What can I point them to that will verify that the community designed halvings and emission have been retained
If it's a case of having to read the code, the bar is going to be too high for most people

Seems the difficulty in getmininginfo just randomly picks a diff to display rather than the diff that the wallet is set for, which is scrypt.
Hi, dear dev!
Some time linux wallet(compiled from yesterday's master clone) shows that error.
If I will restart daemon - I will get corrupt block and have remove blockchain database and resync from the network and some of mined transactions will be discarded.
Have you idea how to fix the problem?
It seems to exchange will not work with buggy wallet.
Thank you.
I am not prog, but I am good linuxoid. I cam help you with debugging/logs,etc...
thank you.
Ubuntu 22 uses gcc-11 as default, and this causes compilation and runtime errors.
In a previous issue I mentioned to notify users that we don't support gcc-11, but now I have a possible solution:
First is to update blake: bitmarkcc@cb67862
The code for this comes from here: https://github.com/BLAKE2/BLAKE2/tree/20190724/ref
Next, we need to fix Lyra2REv2 because with the current code the gcc-11 compiler produces a runtime error (incorrect hash) for this algorithm and thus nodes can't sync. I dealt with this before with a sort of hack in my lm branch: bitmarkcc@cb67862 (see the changes to src/bmw.c). But I think a better solution is to use a different implementation of the BMW hash, at least for lyra2. x17 uses the 512 bit BMW hash and it works fine, so we can leave that as is. The implementation of BMW I found is here: https://github.com/floodyberry/supercop/tree/master/crypto_hash/bmw256/ref and it looks like a reputable repository. The patch that uses this for Bitmark is here: bitmarkcc@f6faae9
Had a chat with @dbkeys yesterday
I think we're at a consensus that the block chain we have is ready to use, and that we want to start to fill the blocks with marking related activities
Adding marking to blocks is a win-win because the we believe the value of the project is the sum total of everything that is marked. Our successful pilot to poloniex to 1000s of users shows there is appetite for this. We need to get back to that
This also creates a permissionless development environment where many developers and communities can work independently and bitmark becomes a glue between them. The idea of "let 100 flowers bloom"
This marking on the original chain constitutes the first work stream, which has always been the aim of the project
There is a second work stream regarding on-chain changes. This is more intensive and impacts everyone in the community. While not wishing to shut this work stream down, it should to happen in a more controlled way, as we've been in emergency mode for the past years, due to our small volunteer based team, and we now have a chance to come out of it. That inevitably means doing things more carefully, and more slowly than we have
I suggest over time moving to shore up the development practices. Perhaps over the next year or so
A lot of time, care, and effort was put into the fork, to decrease the centralization associated with the selfish mining farm. I think we can now start to focus on using it, and start filling up the blocks
I am unable to compile the source under any Debian amd64 version (tried 8 and 9).
On Debian 9 it seems impossible due to too new openssl version with errors like:
...
bignum.h: In function 'bool operator>(const CBigNum&, const CBigNum&)':
bignum.h:594:83: error: cannot convert 'const CBigNum*' to 'const BIGNUM* {aka const bignum_st*}' for argument ' ' to 'int BN_cmp(const BIGNUM*, const BIGNUM*)'
inline bool operator>(const CBigNum& a, const CBigNum& b) { return (BN_cmp(&a, &b) > 0); }
...
On Debian 8 I can overcome some c11 related errors with:
./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-incompatible-bdb --without-miniupnpc && CXXFLAGS="-std=c++11" make
But then I am stuck with the following compile errors:
In file included from cryptonight/crypto/hash.c:35:0:
cryptonight/crypto/hash-ops.h:65:15: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'sizeof'

I believe we are around the next epoch, about now
I've been monitoring the emission (but not the charts)
It seems there is inconsistent emission, but it's unclear why?
Sometimes 6, sometimes 3, sometimes 4 or 5
@dbkeys @piratelinux any idea what's going on, or what it's supposed to be doing?
Guess is that it's related to the Coin Emission Module ... but I didnt find a way to verify that (yet)
Screenshot below
Im wondering how to run the unit tests
I read the command was make check
but when I run it I get:

Some of the rpc commands do not behave as expected.
In rpcblockchain.cpp:
The GetDifficulty method uses the tip's difficulty instead of the height specified (when passing next=true). The GetPeakHashrate and GetCurrentHashrate methods should convert the bignum to a uint256 instead of a ulong in order to allow for larger hashrates. GetAverageBlockSpacing should use MedianTimePast to be more reliable. The block variant info is not needed (block variant codes were made to allow for the signalling of multiple forks using the same version number).
In rpcclient.cpp:
Set generate returns a segmentation fault without a 3rd parameter. getblockreward can be made more useful by allowing a noScale parameter, to show the block reward without the CEM scaling.
In rpcmisc.cpp:
getblockspacing, getblockreward, and getdifficulty can be made more efficient by directly passing the height index to chainActive instead of walking back the blockindex to the needed height. The chaindynamics "sdifficulty" (unweighted difficulty) is passing NULL to the blockindex parameter. It should pass the blockindex corresponding to the requested height.
Solution: bitmarkcc@3719ed4 and bitmarkcc@ce4b6cd
As we will soon enter our 8th year, this is a quick health check to call to see who's around to help reboot the development process for this project
It's been a challenging year all round, for many external reasons, and the project has been largely on auto pilot
Good news is that behind the scenes there's been some great work from @dbkeys on maintaining the website, the BTT thread, explorers, plots, mining, exchanges, block chain dev, and other things
Our software clients still work on windows, macos, and ubuntu 16.04 (I just checked). Ubuntu 20.04 will need some updated instructions due to the upgrades of libboost and openssl
We are still trading on freiexchange, and bisq. More than one explorer works, and the plots from the fork can be examined. The blocks seem to be coming in regularly without reported issues, so we have largely achieved our main goal of having a stable block chain
However, there has been a lack of activity and understandably our price has suffered with many thinking the project is abandoned. So this is a call to see who's interested in rebooting the development effort
There is a bit of maintenance work to explain the history of the project better, why certain choices were made, and what they do. And also to explain how we are different from most alts in being a provably fair coin, with a probably fair emission schedule. ie no ICO, no premine, no instamine, not dev tax, no proof of stake etc.
The eco system needs documentation to show where all the different pieces are
The instructions for building need to be updated so that we can more easily run and build on linux
Our code base is behind upstream bitcoin by some years. So we might need to import some of the fixes there, which is a big task in itself. Some of the newer optimizations we dont need just yet, as our blocks are not full
The idea of grounding reputation trees in the block chain needs to be fleshed out and documented. There was some talk about OP_RETURN and OP_COMMENT, but I think we are actually able to do this today with a modified chainpoint and single use seals, and so, not requiring any low level changes. I've been doing some experimental work on this, and it's gone very well. Happy to share findings on this soon, and write up
There's been some talk about having 1 of our 8 algorithms as a special bitmark algo that can be CPU mined, to generate interest in decentralized mining. This might be an avenue to explore, provided that the proposal is clearly documented, reviewed, and our code base is in a good and well maintained state
We are also I think close to the point where the first reputation trees can start to be grounded in our block chain. I may have this working quite soon. Again, this requires a bit of documentation
We continue to work, as we have from the start, as a 100% volunteer based team, on a best effort basis. That means that things can be slow, but we are a community designed coin, which will have an emission period over many years to ensure fairness. Whether or not that model will work in the long-term, time will tell!
If any devs (new or old) wish to help out with the project and the vision of marking, please feel free to drop a note here. Or visit us on slack. Or you can mail me a ([email protected])
Thanks!
Just a call to see if we can find some mutual time free to go over the open issues and way forward
And what's the best place to discuss, e.g. slack or some other venue
There's no real urgency with this, I appreciate we are a volunteer base, and there's lots going on in the outside world right now, so people may be quite busy
But let's see if we can get some momentum and productive discussion going some time soon (ie in Q2)
Feel free to reply here (or on slack) or email me ([email protected]) ... ill reply here to anyone that reaches out ...
./configure
./configure --with-incompatible-bdb
./configure --without-bdb
Tried these three and it gives the error
checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... no
configure: error: libdb_cxx headers missing
Seeing if I can figure this out
It does actually compile and bitcoind + bitcoin-cli make (but not bitcoin-qt for some reason)
Issue here is that it stalls at:
"blocks" : 119808,
Been there for about an hour. Other commands are working tho
Good progress on libssl and libboost, I'll keep seeing if I can figure out the issues

But first note that OP_PUSHCODE is my own invention, so that's why you never heard of it. And yes I think this is needed for the next layer of functioning, i.e. creating a reputation system instead of a vanilla chain, though it can even be used to create a highly secure vanilla chain.
This issue is for discussion around OP_PUSHCODE
