As a fairly small bagholder, this may not mean much, but I would like to see this happen. So, I won't dump if you guys get it going. With a little help from raskul, I got my wallet synced, and it is staking and working fine. The mechanics are sound, if a way can be found to void or otherwise negate the premine. I likely will sell some of my generated coins, but I want my stake to grow.

Good luck, and if I can be of assistance, let me know.

1. relax. You didn't lose your coins.
2. in the console type repairwallet
3. you just got your first orphan. It worked as it should, just conflicted with a generated block. It'll go back into stake as soon as the orphan is clear.
4. You're good! It worked right.

At least you have a sense of humour

To be more serious, I think that the value will return. The basics of the coin are decent, and it's rare, which should drive the value up. The known issues are being worked on, and the dev seems to give a damn.

Right now, the value is low for a couple of major reasons, which cause panic amongst the impatient and an opportunity for the patient or stubborn.

The first is the multipools. Not ours, it's probably doing quite well because of the price drop, but the ones that sell for bitcoin or other cryptos. They operate on a "right now" basis, and the blockchain froze, then went forward at a wounded snail's pace. So they were probably offering any deal at all to get a return. But Proof of Work is over, so that's mostly over with as well.

The second was the issues with the wallet and the blockchain. They're being resolved. The fundamentals of the coin remain the same, but the weak hands and get rich quick people are panicking. This was always a longer term deal.

My main coins are TEK cuz I love it and Earthcoin cuz I like the ideas behind it and am part of the team. But this one has a great deal of merit. We'll see how it's handled in the coming days. It has the potential to be quite valuable.

And quite well. This is my favorite coin, and I love the new wallet.

Yes.

Thursday, when I get paid.

Peace, children!

Personally, I think pbmining is a good deal, but I also think hardware in hand is a good deal. It works out pretty similar. I like the control of my own hardware, but I like the payday every sunday too. Don't put your eggs in one basket.

I know. Just giving Presstab a little hell. I hated .rar back in the BBS days, and age hasn't improved it 7 zip is pretty awesome, though.

Not a dev, so I can't speak for them.

But I would (and am) holding for now. The bumps are pretty normal for a new coin, the devs are working on it, and the sheep are panicking.

I always try to remember that I have two eyes and one mouth, and respond at least at that ratio I've always noticed, just not always commented. Keep up the good work!

Usually, and this is not the first coin I've run into this with, you can fix it by completely exiting the program and restarting. After you exit, hit ctrl-alt-del and open the task manager. Make sure ALL instances of the client are not running, force any that are to stop using the "end task" button.

Then restart the wallet and see if it solves it. If it don't, delete everything in the appdata\roaming\sync folder EXCEPT wallet.dat. (best practice is to copy it somewhere safe, and somewhere else safe, too. ) Then let it sync again. Should cure it.

Agreed. Always with the hiccups While you're watching, can you clarify how many blocks, or if not a block count, what basis for stake maturity? (not the time to confirm, the time to be eligible to stake).

thanks.


Gracias! I'll let everybody know what the results are. I'm gonna try it first without deletion, and if that fails, reload the blockchain.

That's the flavored one. I'm looking for the basic QT. Flavored started hanging on me, wanna try the plain. Not sure why a skin would make a difference, but a couple people indicated it would.

Hmm. I'm either blind or there's no link to the non flavored wallet in the OP. Somebody help a brother out?

Nah, it's just a newborn. Gotta smack it on the ass a few times to get it breathing properly...

Same here, same block. Flavored wallet. I'm about to get the "vanilla" wallet and try again. Will report how it goes.

I didn't get no payout last time either, help! The world is falling down! Aieeee!!!!












Oh.










Wait.



My gridseed isn't plugged in until I get the computer back online for it.


</sarcasm>

Hmm. Let me think about this for roughly two milliseconds. How many coins out there are completely original code?

Anyone?

Ok, I'll spell it out. Bitcoin and NXT. All others are derivative in some manner. I'm in the midst of compiling hundreds of them, and you know what? They're all pretty similar at base. The innovations, such as they are, are minor things to the code, but can have a major impact on the way the coin performs. These coins are out there for many different reasons, from someone trying to change the world all the way down to some body having a bit of fun. In my time, I've seen a few that were outright scams, a few that were really tremendously awesome, and a lot of reinventing the wheel.

The thing is, the market is new. I know, I know, it's "so yesterday" to have scrypt, x11, grostl, keccak, PoS, PoW... But face it: This revolution started in 2009. Bitcoin is king, due to being first and well marketed. There are a lot of contenders. The basic code works, and works well, or there wouldn't be all of this crazy, insane, cool, innovative, and wacky market. Evolutionary changes are just as valid as revolutionary ones, and it takes the lens of history to determine which is which.

As fof loljosh being a hired gun? So what? I have some ideas for a coin myself. I'm not currently looking for a developer, but if I were, he'd be on my short list. If you have a good idea, and don't know how to make it happen, you hire somebody who does. Frankly, if you don't like that concept, you probably should stay away from markets, period.

Presstab, I love ya man, I really do...

But why the fuck would you use .rar as a compression tool?

Fixed that for ya.

Doesn't look like it. I can't even Sync.
