dimecoin 1.7.0.1

dimecoin

Another dimecoin wallet for you, but with some changes made (no mandatory swap necessary of course)

Wallet at Github

Updated Dimecoin-qt Download

Changes

  • Hopefully the sending limit has been lifted so you can send as many coins as you desire to send.

  • The rpc call getnetworkhasps has been added

  • A simple background image has been added to the wallet

  • I added some nodes that you can hopefully connect to (I hope they are reliable enough)

  • I Changed the pro file to a qt-pro file

  • Some minor changes made to dimecoin-qt.pro, including the path set, and updating to mgw49-mt-s-1_55

  • Since no Windows dependencies are in the original source, I put those necessary to compile on Windows in. They remain there, but I have commented them out (lines 33-43). To compile on Windows these simply need unchecking (remove the # on each of them)

  • Updated to Protocol version 70003

  • Updated to Dimecoin client version 1.7.0.1

  • I changed the horrible old icons and used the logo from dimecoin 1.5

Source used

The source used was the original by Antcoin at:

Remaining Issues

Dimecoin has a huge bloated chain, and you should give the wallet a higher priority in Windows Task Manager. If not, you face the prospect of the wallet becoming unresponsive or not even opening.

dimecoin.conf

  • rpcuser=dimecoinrpc
  • rpcpassword=LongShitHereRepeatwithNum838s
  • rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
  • daemon=1
  • server=1
  • rpcport=11930
  • port=11931

Addnodes

Go to https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dime/#!network

You will find 70 or so nodes to use in your dimecoin.conf, as such:

addnode=111.92.56.73

addnode=111.92.57.239

You can also visit www.dimecoin.rocks where there is a copy of peers.dat from a fully synched wallet, which may help you connect to more nodes, as the information in peers.dat will already have a list of reliable connections to seek out.

Setgenerate

I left setgenerate in as an rpc call, as it possibly useful. However, this means the qt will alays get flagged for bitcoin miner. It is a false positive, and evryone should know that by now.

bootstrap

file: bootstrap.dat

The bootstrap contains block data up to approximately block 2,448,000 (2 million, four hundred and forty eight thousand). It was created on the 9th October 2017.

You should unzip the download first. The contents, boostrap.dat, should be placed in your dimecoin folder located at %appdata% (Roaming). Remove all items in the folder first, or simply rename the folder dimecoin1, and make a new folder called dimecoin. Copy paste the bootstrap to the empty folder, and add a dimecoin.conf.

Then start your dimecoin-qt and it will start importing blocks from the bootstrap. The process is somewhat faster than downloading from the blockchain.

Blocks produced after the bootstrap, will automatically begin to download from the blockchain when the bootstrap is finished, from 9th October, 2017.

If you have wallet.dat with dimecoin in it, when the wallet is fully synched, stop dimecoin-qt, wait a minute or two to be sure the bloated client has really closed (you can check in Task Manager), remove wallet.dat, and copy paste your own wallet.dat into the new folder.

NB: Always copy paste (do not cut paste) in case something goes wrong. You will then still have a fresh unharmed copy of your wallet.dat.
