I'm sorry this is what my console says...

}

--PD

I'm still mining this coin and still finding blocks but they are showing up under "Immature"...what does that mean?

--PD

No I think I was on a wrong fork.  3 different times, 3 different forks.  6 hours wasted.  Good luck with you coin.

After having this and then watching it go away, I am so done with this coin!!

+1

yep 500

im sure I will... I mean I was mining for 30 minutes or so, had 200k, over half of which was confirmed. then just gone.

LLbrhu56TAiLa6edcXYMBdsE7ohxePoiav

im kinda scared to mine again just yet... I dont know where the heck my 200k+ coins went.

do u think that is my problem too?

na they were confirmed already?

uh.... wtf just happened? all my coins just vanished? lol

Can´t get the wallet to sync...1 node ..but no block source available.

It shouldn't take long to Sync, if it does, try re-starting your computer.

Pools should come soon as the community begins to see what an asset CaliforniaCoin will be.


Thank you! 


Thanks!


The pre-mine of 4.5% hasn't even been fully completed. Also if you compare to other coins such as Isracoin which has a 10% pre-mine, our 4.5% is a drop in the bucket considering California's economy is the 8th largest in the world and Isracoin is 39th largest. Big difference you see.


Glad you believe in CaliforniaCoin! Tell your friends the more the merrier!

Alright, so I've been PM'd by a few people what red-flags to look out for since I have a pretty good track record of spotting scammers.  Sometimes I get it wrong, but better safe than sorry.  Anyway, watch out for the typical behavior from scammers who will usually fit at least two or three (and sometimes even more) of the following characteristics:

0. Newbies, NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH OTHER NEWBIES, EVER. There are plenty of veteran members to do business with and ALWAYS use escrow. If you're a newbie you're doing business with another newbie, there's a 100% chance that you will get scammed (or you're a scammer yourself).
1. New account (usually created within the last 3 months, plus or minus)
2. Low-medium message count with vapid posts of little to no contributory value
3. Use of a seemingly realistic first/last name as their forum account name
4. Signs posts with full name
5. Straight out of Newbie mode right into Lending (requesting a loan of course)
6. Straight out of Newbie mode right into Currency Exchange (PayPal, Liberty Reserve, Western Union)
7. Straight out of Newbie mode and selling gift cards/codes/Steam games of any kind (they'll often be purchased with stolen CC info, leaving you holding the bag later on down the road)
8. Any user blatantly claiming to be female
9. New user trying to sell an Apple iAnything
10. Sob stories asking for handouts
11. Never send to a Bitmerch.com address for escrow!!!

There.  Pretty much in a nutshell how to spot a scammer.  There's still some finesse to spotting a scammer, but these rules will separate most of the wheat from the chaff, so to speak.  Oh, and I guess there's one more rule:

12. NEVER DO BACKROOM DEALS VIA PM WITH NEW USERS. Make sure all deals are negotiated in the open forum for both public record and peer review.

TLDR: Be careful before you freely give away your coins. From the evidence collected here, you stand substantial chance of getting ripped off if lending to someone who fits the scammer profile.  If that chance is worth making an extra 1-10% on your money, I can't stop you.
