OK it is beta release, does this actually mean you'll get new genesis and start over after you've verified your verifies ?
or do you just hope it will takeoff and if it doesnt you can say, hey it was beta.

I don't think it'd be exactly fair to anyone that's been mining it to reset the coin to zero.

Stuck syncing at block 1508, which is right before the checkpoint you added.  Has the blockchain already split into two?

so you're really gonna take that name for a pointless copycat which has nothing more to do with pi than some parameters? aww man.

You didn't read the question.

Mathematically, it's kind of pointless to calculate digits of pi beyond a certain point.

The description states "crypto-homage to the circle" so digits of pi as parameters made sense. Got a better name for it?
anyway?
beyond that, isn't just about every coin out there a clone




- for the person that asked: it's scrypt.

I am though still stuck on block 1508. Here's the exact error:

Code:

I have the same problem, please help me, please send me some coin, my address is: 9ugJa87naPXV5obKV4HpysZqEkQfekLU5D


One more thing, you should modify block 1508 checkpoints which you defined in checkpoints.cpp, just comment this line in checkpoints.cpp:
//(      1509, uint256("0x000000e4fae39746f10875c24334d6441c77d1ead055061cc6ab237ea535af6b"))


I compiled a windows version of PiCoin, Windows QT for PiCoin can be downloaded here:

i'm going to reupload to github with the new checkpoints file. please update your client.


Thanks for the working windows qt.

I added the windows qt to github a little bit ago and sent you 10PCN for the help

Yay - build from git works fine now, went to answer Nature's call while it was compiling, came back and I got a block of roundy goodness! Also the 5er you sent my way. Thanks :D!

Just to let you know, if there ever comes a TauCoin, I will disregard the imposter. It may act tough being twice as big as Pi, but I'm loyal to the original!

Not a serious announcement.
Minimum information about a coin.
Even did not write that coin is scrypt.
How much is premine?

Look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=279633.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=279633.0)

This coin isn't meant to be taken so seriously.

There was no premine, I mined genesis and released the code to anyone that wanted to mine it.

That said, thank you to those who actually ran it. I'm impressed.

I will keep working on the coin and updating as long as people keep mining.

pailure coin?

here's my dilemma.... I can update the code to eliminate that problem, but I can't update the windows qt cuz I know jack shit about coding for windows.

It could be made to work again for linux users, but windows users would be left in the dark. I don't know that I want to do that to people. If anyone would like to help, I would appreciate it. Otherwise I need to let the coin die.
