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

  ---

  Wallet at Github

  Updated Dimecoin-qt Download

  WALLET BACKGROUND IMAGE RESIZED

  Full Windows compile including the whole source code and the qt

  Full Windows Compile

  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

  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.

  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.

  • Somebdy with the know-how and time ought to make an Electrum version of the wallet!!

  Wallet background

  Simple

  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.

  Active nodes 11 October

  You may notice a pattern between these nodes that are active at this moment, and future data reported by Chainz Explorer, in which case you can consider matching nodes as reliable to add to your dimecoin.conf. I have put them down as addnodes.

  Setgenerate

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

  ---

  To do

  1. Change the background image to the dimecoin planets image on the splash.
  2. Update the logo when the new one is available, as reported by dimecoin.rocks.
