Thanks anyway but no, major bounties like that are at an end now.

Oh ye of little faith

Blockchain has kicked forward this evening, wallets back online, network running. UK press mentions should be available tomorrow, I will update the thread, Slack and Tweet ASAP upon confirmation.

As for mining, GCPOOL is a solid and robust offering. If you're not returning, it's because of the diff, which was at 1100+ is now at 292. You need beefier GPUs running at 1k+ diff, that's just the way it is. Rent some hash at miningrigrentals.com for example and then your shares will shoot up. That's normal.

But consider this - I am going to continue to socialise this coin for as long as I can and as long as there's an interest in the community, as I've already said. But we need miners, not only traders. Classic crypto conundrum. Leave the investment and coin value innovations to me. As long as you guys are mining the coin and ensuring a supply (up 300k in the last couple of weeks, which is good) we will survive.

No missed that dude, got a link?

The coin is going to be mentioned and name checked (website, coin name, purpose) in a UK automotive magazine title. I will confirm details (title is in the premium sector) early next week.

First off we are in the UK press next week...

But before all that:

New Windows and Linux wallets (compiled binaries) after the recent fork now available for download. Check www.social-coin.co.uk and ensure you download this for security whilst trading and mining. Thanks.

Note that Nova are now open for trading.

Ah this is still washing around I see.

Wallet re-sync instructions are now live on www.social-coin.co.uk

Note that recompiled Windows wallet will be published ASAP.

The new source you mean? Check page 37.

Otherwise, follow the instructions now live on the website, this means you will delete your local blockchain and re-sync. Which is what you need to do anyway.

I do believe we have noticed that Yobit have updated their side and their current block status matches the official chain. Against this, Nova intend opening up wallets for deposits/withdrawals in a short while. Confirmation either here or via Slack ASAP.

Windows wallet currently giving me some issues in recompile. Will be advising ASAP.

Diff on the blockchain looking good now.

Create one of it's not there and ensure the content is as per the advice. Make sure you name it socialcoin.conf and not socialcoin.conf.txt and it will be ok

Block explorer will be updated ASAP after blockchain fix.

Delete your post (don't post wallet addresses in the thread please) and PM me the wallet address and I'll send you the reduced bounty.

*** FORK UPDATE - RESOLUTION - INSTRUCTIONS - ACTION IMMEDIATELY***

Linux users - Compile the new wallet from source https://github.com/novaexchange/SOCC and ensure you delete your blockchain, before using the 'connect' command in your conf as detailed below.

Windows users

1) Delete your blockchain files in AppData\Roaming\Socialcoin

To get to this directory, as I'm sure you all know, use %appdata% in the run box, and open up the 'Socialcoin' directory.

DO NOT DELETE THE wallet.dat FILE
DO NOT DELETE THE socialcoin.conf file

All other files and folders should be deleted.

2) In socialcoin.conf file, add the following line AND DELETE PREVIOUS. This is critical, and without this addition and removing the blockchain, the fix will not work:

connect=217.175.119.126:18645

So your conf file should now look like this:

rpcuser=<your local wallet address>
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=18646
port=18645
listen=1
server=1
connect=217.175.119.126:18645

MAKE SURE YOU DELETE ANY EXISTING ADDNODE LINES. Once we issue recompiled wallets, the old nodes can be added once again.

Note that the above is a temporary solution whilst we also work on issuing recompiled Windows wallets (I am away from home currently will get to this ASAP). This will be done ASAP but for now, removing the blockchain and mining with the above settings should work successfully. To aid mining, connecting to GCPOOL is the suggested solution as part of the resolution to this issue is mining the blockchain until the height exceeds the height of the hacked chain. Indeed, to secure the network properly we need people to start mining on this pool please.

Any questions, post them here.

Massive thanks to Linus on the Nova Exchange for his dev assistance in this. And to Glen on GCPOOL for clearing his hangover incredibly quickly and recompiling his pool

Cheers, Mark.

Well if you're going to do a job, do it properly!

And point taken on white paper - we are busy with the blockchain repair currently though.
