There was a bug (involving a rounding error in Windows vs. Linux/Mac sin & exp implementations) that just became troublesome on July 28. It's now fixed. New windows & linux wallets available from: http://www.apecoin.org(The Mac wallet will be updated in an hour or so.) You'll probably have to re-sync if you're using Linux. |

Which wallet? Windows / Osx / Linux ? What does it say if you mouse-over the lower-right corner?

EDIT: now it started for some reason, but does not listen on rpcport=29998 I'll keep my eyes peeled for this. What OS? Apecoind or QT? |

it spams to stdout: GetNextWorkRequired RETARGET

I thought this was funny  but debug.log has more useful lines: SetBestChain: new best=8a09f01db6b050792739 height=60313 work=81439733234730 date=25.01.2014 20:39:29 That's in "GetNextWorkRequired_Launch" which is...vestigial at the moment. GetNextWorkRequired_KGW is what currently gets called. But...you're right, I should scrub the debugging info more diligently. |

Re-announcing this coin for several reasons: * Significant changes have been made to the inner workings since the first launch. (Most recently, the KGW.) * Many issues that made this coin difficult to integrate with standard pools and exchanges in its original form have now been eliminated. * It's finally on an exchange (see below, more to come soon). * The very loyal community in the East feels very strongly that a re-announce is long overdue. * The seasonal block reward is in "high summer" now (11368 APEs!). It will never be this high again. (Winter is coming.)

For anyone who has downloaded an ApeCoin wallet, there are new versions of all clients available for download and the GitHub repository has been updated. It's a "hard fork", which will cause a change to the block rewards system and limit the supply in a wiggly fashion. http://www.apecoin.orgThe changes to the block reward take effect at block 30,000, which will hit around 3.7 days from now. After that, older clients will start having their new transactions rejected...and the only cure for the disorientation and depression they'll feel will be to bite the bullet and upgrade. After block 30,000: 1) The block reward will start a gradual decay toward zero, which will be reached in around 10 years. At which point the total APE supply will be 6,839,998,399. 2) The reward will fluctuate rhythmically as it decays, with a cycle-duration of 3 months. At the first peak, the reward will be higher than 10000 APEs; This may cause some people to "go ape" (as they say). It will almost certainly cause apes to go ape, and will probably empty out the zoos in metropolitan areas until the mania dies down, at which point they will lope back to their cages and enclosures. 3) The difficulty will be recomputed every 30 minutes rather than once per day. Here's a Wolfram Alpha plot of the first year's block rewards: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=plot++%2810000+-+10000%2F3+*+sin%282+*+pi+*+1%2F%2860+*+24+*+90%29+*++x%29%29+*+e%5E%28-x%2F%2860+*+24+*+30+*+14%29%29+from+0+to+%2860*24*30+*+12+*+1%29 |

I've edited the top post and removed the offending transcription of MAX_MONEY. There is no limit as it stands and the code will remain that way. I don't claim that it was a design decision executed with all-knowing conviction, but I'm content with it and am very interested to see what effect the _lack_ of a supply cut-off has on the evolution. That gene was switched off here, we'll see if the creature survives the mutation.
That pool is run by a third party, I don't have any control over it.

bee7 is right, MAX_MONEY (despite its name) doesn't cap the supply. Theoretically, there is no limit to the number of APEs this universe might contain as t approaches positive infinity. I think the lifespan of our benighted star might supervene, even if other practical factors didn't bend that line into an asymptote. We'll see.

I can confirm that virustotal does report that. It doesn't give any indication of what file in the zip it's referring to, so it's difficult to address their automated-slander.
Sigh, well the source is on GitHub if anyone really thinks it's NOT a false positive. The Windows build isn't that tricky, I had more trouble with getting a working result from macdeployqt.

This is a re-announce in a more standard form in a more standard place, it wasn't pre-mined at all. I annihilated the test-blockchain to avoid such a scenario. I understand that the definition of the term is subjective, and a reddit mention 2 days ago (which had more of an impact than I anticipated) meets some of those definitions.

These are legitimate suspicions.... I'd signed up for this bitcointalk account yesterday, but had to wait a full day before I could post outside the newbie forum. I didn't dream that a mention on the altcoin reddit would result in a "launch", I just wanted _somebody_ to download a client, so I could see if it worked on a non-dev machine before I announced anything. (None of the clients did work off-the-bat, one of them still doesn't. I'll update the github repo shortly.)
As to this being a "pre-mine", there was 20 minutes of "does this buillt-in miner work?" mining done yesterday, then...reddit.
I know the damage is done from this forum's perspective, but what am I gonna do now?
