What version are you running and does you block height match the explorer: http://gld.cryptocoinexplorer.com/

I just solved a block!

If it were me, I'd pick the coin with "the greatest living coin developer on earth."

This is to keep the community informed. There's an op-out link in the bottom of each message.


The new code changes take effect after block 103000.

The patch does not take effect until block 103000. After that block, please allow a few hours for difficulty to normalize.

Just wanted to let ya'll know the difficulty algorithm has been fixed in the latest update. The hashrate should correct itself over the next day or two.

[UPDATE] Mandatory Update 0.7.1.4 (Difficulty fixes)

Notes: The difficulty algorithm has been fixed. This is a mandatory update, so be sure to do it before the hard fork at 103000 occurs. The hashrate should correct itself over the next day or so. Sorry for the rather frequent updates of late, we are trying to get the situation resolved as quickly as possible.

The only way you can lose valid coins is by losing your wallet. There is no reason to fear upgrading. The people talking about losing coins were mining "magic coins" on their own chains when the network was segmented.

You can always verify whether you're on the correct blockchain by referring to the block explorer: http://gld.cryptocoinexplorer.com/

In regards to mining, the window for mining blocks is small, in that sense its more of a lottery system now than who's got the largest hash-power. We are still monitoring the network for irregularities but have been unable to confirm any definitive problems at this time.

Please stayed tuned as the developers will be reporting after they've had the opportunity to analyze and discuss their findings.

We would have no motivation to do that. Please remember that this is experimental software. Thank you.

Sorry. Maybe you were in the middle of an edit but the post made no sense to me. To answer your question, apparently you were on the wrong chain. I will ask the development team to confirm. Thank you for your patience.

You said there was no solution which is ridiculous. We don't even know for sure if there's a problem.

I'm getting ready to start removing posts that are FUD or that are completely unintelligible. There's no reason that a reader should come into this thread and have to sift through the lies to find the truth. Let's please try to have an intelligent and sincere discussion.

Thank you.

We were anticipating some network issues, that's one reason we requested that Cryptsy pause trading.

Remember, yesterday the network was highly segmented and now today everyone is on the same chain. This is progress. We are now investigating the issues affecting mining and will be making any necessary fixes as warranted. This coin has evolved well past its humble copy-and-paste beginnings and is now starting a new dawn as a unique and viable currency. Changes of this level and magnitude are complex and bugs are to be expected. Rest assured that you're in capable hands and that these issues will be soon resolved.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Everyone needs to make sure they are running v 0.7.1.3.

There were a couple of pools that went off on their own chain after block 100K. Even after being notified at least one pool apparently continued to mine the wrong chain. The official block height can always be confirmed by using the block explorer: http://gld.cryptocoinexplorer.com/chain/Goldcoin.

To the best of my understanding this is normal. You are probably triggering the new 51% defense system. The developers will be closely monitoring the network over the next few days to ensure that the system is functioning optimally.

We requested that Cryptsy pause Goldcoin for a few hours to allow the updated clients to reach consensus.

The new GoldCoin 51% defense is the first of its kind and there have been a few unexpected kinks related to the original bitcoin code and its memory overflow protection. The latest update is now being compiled and will become available within the hour.

Uploading the clients soon. Thank you for your patience.  

The Goldcoin development team has just released mandatory software update V 0.7.1.2.

This update is designed to correct network chain fragmentation caused by a bug in the previous version.

The development team is currently on standby in the event you require technical assistance.

If you're on the official chain (as indicated by the block explorer) you should be good: http://gld.cryptocoinexplorer.com/chain/Goldcoin. Please stand by for additional information. Thank you for your patience.
