alright dumb question, is it common for exchanges to list coins without being asked by dev and community?
Yes. If they find it interesting. They do what they do, when they do it. Dev's have little to no control over it, though some exchange operators are quite willing to work with new coin devs. |

PAYDAY!!!! Got up to see it in my electrum wallet  |

Been watching for a while, pulled the trigger a few days back on a single Gridseed.
Zoomhash shipped it when they said they would, it arrived well packaged and in good time. I haven't hooked it up yet, cuz I've got too much on my plate at the moment, but I was quite impressed with Zoomhash. I even had a bit of a problem at first, as the tracking number couldn't be found by the post office. (it eventually did). The gentleman who responded IMMEDIATELY to my query was professional, polite, and had a good sense of humour about the whole thing.
I will definitely do business with them again.

Actually both. [...] But the client itself drifts out of sync. If I shut it down and restart, it will sync up again (now that it FINALLY downloaded the whole blockchain), but it won't stay synced. I have no idea why. [...] Maybe it likes Windows 8 about as well as I do  Which is to say not very. Ha, I hear ya. Though it's not all that bad if you ignore that blocks screen. I fired it up in a VM about an hour ago and so far it both synced, and has remained in sync, currently at block 283772 - which is the latest one according to http://max.cryptoexplore.com/ as well. Edit: Maybe your debug window / log file (see Help > Debug Window) contain some clues. Since I replied to you, it has remained in sync. I don't know what the hell it's doing. No issues with other wallets, no issues with my service. These issues can sometimes be system-related. Trying it on a different machine might be a good idea. I'd be happy to help you try and recover the coins and send them to an address of your choosing (if you want to risk sending me a copy of your wallet.dat that is). Not exactly good practice, sending your wallet to random stranger on the net, but it might be worth a shot. Well, MAX was an experiment for me anyway. If I can't get it rolling using the daemon, I'll take you up on that, and you keep ten percent. Thanks for the help, all of you! |

Despite earlier frustrations, I decided to have another go. I did finally get the new wallet to sync. Took almost a week.
I then discovered that I had made a second backup on my old computer of the original wallet.dat, replaced the new one with it, and it's corrupt. Causes it to crash without loading.
Some of you seem to think this coin is going far, and I wish you luck. It does seem to maintain a high value on the exchanges, but I simply CANNOT get it to stay in sync, even with a clean install and new wallet. It's not my machine, because I have dozens of coin wallets on it and no problems with most of them. I suppose I might mine it again in the future, but I'll use a Cryptsy wallet as the Windows client doesn't appear to function well and already cost me 27 coins. Part of that was my failure, as I did delete the damn thing in a moment of high temper, but the backup doesn't work either.
That's where it stands for me, but I would like to know if the thing just refusing to stay in sync is normal behaviour for the Windows client, and also if it works better on Mac or Linux.
Have you tried putting the wallet.dat file in the application data folder before syncing the blockchain? Failing that, if you give me a MaxCoin address, I will send you 27 coins myself. I have, and it hits the runaway exception right away. Same error as with the blockchain complete. I'm gonna try Vann's suggestion, probably tomorrow as I'm not home right now, and see how that goes. Thanks for the offer, but the only handout I'm looking for is knowledge. I'd like to get this thing working, just because I hate to leave things unresolved. I'm not the most tech savvy guy in the world, but I'm not on the bottom rungs either. 27 coins is not a lot. Frankly, if I get the rest of it working well, I may try mining it again. It seems to have a lot of support, trolling aside, and the algo makes it so I can sort of mine with my integrated GPU. Which leaves my gridseed and AMT/Technobit boards for other things |

I simply CANNOT get it to stay in sync, even with a clean install and new wallet. I'm confused - is your complaint about old wallet.dat files not being accepted by the latest client, or is it about the current client not staying in sync when you leave it running? They are two distinctly different things. Note that if you shut the client down, it will go out of sync by the very nature of any client. The part that makes this a tad more annoying with Maxcoin is Maxcoin's exceedingly low confirmation times. At now about 9 minutes per block, Bitcoin might see ~160 blocks a day on average. Mjollnircoin saw ~700 blocks due to its ~2 minute block time. Maxcoin? 2,863 blocks. That's a lot more to sync with.Actually both. I'm assuming the old wallet.dat is gone. It causes a runaway exception whenever I start the client. No huge loss, just frustrating. But the client itself drifts out of sync. If I shut it down and restart, it will sync up again (now that it FINALLY downloaded the whole blockchain), but it won't stay synced. I have no idea why. I don't get this with any other client except SHA, and that coin is fubar. It loads up fine with the latest version, but it will simply not stay in sync. Maybe it likes Windows 8 about as well as I do Which is to say not very. I haven't tried it on a WIN 7 install, though I have an old computer lying about that I could do so with. EDIT: The sync issue is with a clean, new wallet.dat file. No coins in it at present. I am assuming my old wallet is making the coin more valuable by not existing. |

Got a dumb question for you smart people. I finally managed to connect to the client for solomining with my rig. I know I'm not going to see "accepted shares" when solo mining, but I am seeing "pool not providing work fast enough" over and over again. Is this normal behaviour for cgminer? the rig isn't particularly crazy, only a single HEX16B hashing board. EDIT: It appears to be submitting shares to my btc pool as well... Which doesn't make sense to me at all. I don't have it set on balance, and it's keeping the connection to my wallet. I'z a confused dude You will need to tinker a bit with your config. What happens is that your rig is too fast for the client. When you mine on a pool, the pool can send chunks of work of difficulty 64,128,256,512,etc. witch keeps your miner busy. When solo mining, and this is what you need to tinker with, you can help by setting a high queue number, smaller scan time and smaller expiry in cgminer. You should see less of that message when you play with those numbers. Also, I believe the fact that the rigs sends share to another pool is tied to your failover setting. Instead of doing nothing, some work is beeing done on the next pool in your settings. Start by adding a lot of queue, that should help you a lot. Hope this helps you out. I knew there was a reason I liked you other than just your pretty wallet Yeah, changing the queue instantly cured it. Now just gotta lower it till it starts again and adjust. Thanks! |

Ok maybe I missed that but what is the merge thing? Is there a thread or article explaining it and if so can you please link it here.
Merged mining, where your rig is mining more than one coin simultaneously. Namecoin does it, MAZA is supposed to but doesn't. I think it's an excellent idea if you're going to fork this coin, make it merge minable with other SHA coins, and that will give it some impetus as pool ops can offer it as a bonus for mining other SHA coins. |

I'm hangin' on to mine till they reach .01 BTC. Ain't got a lot, but hey, I could sell half at that price and make out like a bandit it may just occur! Very much possible. Hope Springs Infernal and all that... |

I like the icon. Email was sent out to another exchange and they are now in contact. TEK is increasing in trading volume and they can be first place to let users keep the stake, or they can benefit themselves by keeping the stake.(seems a pretty easy call to add TEK but then i am biased  ) stay tuned more stuff in the works Tranz had a good post in the HBN thread about why it is probably not a good idea for exchanges to attempt to stake. One reason is that the wallet must remain in hot storage. Another user linked to a thread about how I think it was BC wallet was drained from an exchange doing this. Another exchange could be helpful, but what we really need is sellers  Nah, what we really need is merchants. This coin has long term potential, not just an exchange dump. Though it is pretty good for that, since everybody wants it now TEK is usable with http://www.altaccept.com/ i sent out first email to a merchant this morning. A one merchant that just started taking bitcoin, so maybe they will be open to taking alts. It's a good start. I'm working on some stuff as well, not specific to TEk and not ready to be public, but it should kickstart a number of things in the not too distant future |

I think I got a corrupt download. None of the listed steps worked. Now syncing from the net, no problems except that I have to fake patience. I can do that |

The transaction fee setting in our client software wasn't adjusted properly for the chunk size and so we are lower priority in the blockchain right now. You will all get your payments, it will just take a few hours  This is one of the many reasons we get started with the process early in the day. Figured it was something like that. It hit my wallet no probs, just taking a long time to confirm. Happy Piggy Day! Or should that be Happy Sow Day, in honor of mother's day? EDIT: Went to one confirm just after I posted this. Be an hour more or less now All is well. No more doom and gloom music. Trolls, please return to your bridges, no food for you today. |

delete the file called blkindex0001.dat i think is the one balls it up
ok, got the new wallet, it came up no problem, but I tried to load the saved blockchain from the op, and it keeps giving me a "runaway exception", cannot open blkindex.dat, error 22.
WTF am I doing wrong here?
Hmm interesting. I would try moving the contents of your tek folder in appdata (if using windows) to a directory called "backup" or something of the sort. Then try copying the contents from the op into the tek folder and see if it works. Or you could always try extracting the contents into a directory like c:\tekcoindata and then startup your client using the terminal and entering tekcoin-qt.exe -datadir=C:\tekcoindata If all of that fails, you might have to start a fresh sync. If you look a page or two back on the thread dyoungii posted a working exe that will sync from block 0. If you need to compile from source, all of the github directories (including mine) have been updated to include this change. Thank you, gentlemen. I'll try the above until it works or I give up and sync from the beginning Never had a real problem with TEK before, other than I suck at linux. But this is the first time I've had a windows problem, and it can be solved by faking patience if nothing else. Also, while I'm at it, should the conf file be named TEKcoin.conf, or just TEK.conf? I'm trying to set up for solomining. Just for shits and giggles. Not even sure my rig is fast enough, but it's worth a shot. |

Hate to say it, but I too have been setting unconfirmed for more than two hours. Never had a problem before, and I am sure they'll resolve this one. Is a bit vexing though.

All those POS coins are doing pretty well. If we just stop adding new coins then the price most go out and you create a shortes of coins.
yes indeed to many coins being generated for the current demand. I think the supply should be halved asap. Would like to hear the opinion from the dev team about this (earthcoin account) What are the pros and cons I'm working on a writeup on that very subject. I will have it under the news thread before the week is out. There are a lot of things about the concept of this coin that seem to not be well iterated to the public. I'm trying to fix that. It will be a fairly long post. And yes, I'll post it under the earthcoin account. still waiting for the writeup ...  Sorry for the delay. I"ve had to deal with a number of personal emergencies and a computer crash over the last few days. I've barely had time to think, let alone write. I haven't forgotten, but I did forget to update everyone as to the delay. In the meanwhile, TamB has been taking up a lot of my slack. Thanks! I will be much more active shortly, and yes, I'm still working on the article. Still waiting... A new dev team is needed, earthcoin is doomed with the current team. I'm having a really tough time with life right now. Anyone of you like to step up and take my place as the voice? The dev team is indeed working. They've got new wallets, not just recompiled against heartbleed, completely new wallets ready to go, currently in testing. As of yesterday, they had a few cosmetic issues, but were working great. I've been balls to the wall with personal life, and it don't look to be slowing down anytime soon. Sorry again for the massive delay. Eating came first, unfortunately. EAC is more fun What I alluded to in the above is that Earthcoin's large amount of coins was intended to make it competitive with mainstream currencies, in time, as people would have a lot of individual units to spend. There is of course a lot more to such a strategy than just that statement. It is my belief that the coin hit the exchanges too early in it's life cycle, and indeed that created both a euphoria and a hysteria. This is a coin that is INTENDED to be used for everyday purchases. So far, only a couple people have really developed anything along those lines (I'm looking at YOU, ATXsilver and Centurion!), but that was always the intent. Getting there from here is a difficult task. In my case, made much more so by personal issues which would probably bore the shit out of you, but consume great amounts of my time. TamB and CryptoZark have picked up some of my slack, and I thank them for it. Peace, and I'll try to be more active. In the meantime, that wasn't tongue in cheek. Anybody wants my position, I'll hand it over. As long as the rest of the Dev team agrees. |
