old client dead
no, not dead, you could still run it. but it had a serious bug in it all along that made discovery of other AmericanCoin servers fail via IRC; so after AMCCoin lost their domain, and DNS seeds were no longer useful for finding servers, very few connections were found. some of the last I had, at least a year ago maybe more, were 128-73-148-39.broadband.corbina.ru and ns3311733.ip-5-135-163.eu. remember those? anyway I never thought to troubleshoot the problem until you mentioned the other day that you couldn't sync. that's when I got motivated to locate and fix the bug. so, in short: you can run the old client as long as enough other people are running the fixed one.

tonight I finally found and fixed the root cause of the wrong port numbers, with revision 4b557e22b. I notice @collapse also has the correction, but I found it independently.

looks like I lost all the blocks I mined since 2018-12-10. they're showing up as orphaned in ns004.unternet.net's `listtransactions`. ah well, c'est la vie. I still don't see any nodes to peer with on irc, where are you guys? [UPDATE] just verified and corrected the quickstart instructions at https://github.com/jcomeauictx/AmericanCoin. I'm hoping I can let this go for a while, I've got other projects to work on!

commit 606a7aee08 from https://github.com/jcomeauictx/AmericanCoin *should* fix the syncing problem without having to use -addnode or -connect. check out the new wheezy.mk and buster.mk files and the possibly-outdated instructions in the new README. NOTE: [added later]... BACK UP your wallet before running! in fact, I'd recommend renaming your $HOME/.americancoin directory, making a new one, and *copying* the saved wallet.dat and americancoin.conf into that new directory. once the blockchain has been downloaded fresh, you should see your balance restored, but *it will be zero* right after starting the rebuilt daemon. if you don't want to do the above, at least remove or rename your current $HOME/.americancoin/peers.dat file, because as long as the old addresses with a port of 9057 are in there, it's unlikely you're going to be able to connect. I'd also recommend removing or commenting out the `addnode=` and `connect=` lines in your americancoin.conf file, just to make sure the discovery mechanism is working as it should. WARNING: [added still later]: if you're using a non-default listen port, *WAIT* for next bugfix. I used GetDefaultPort() instead of GetListenPort(). UPDATE 2020-01-24T07:50PST revision 9a1b9c3 seems to be good. I submitted a pull request to AMCCoin, in case the original coder is still alive...

not sync
I'm seeing this too. I could only get it to sync by using a "-connect=" option. troubleshooting it. How to use it? I'll let you know as soon as I have a fix for it. meanwhile you can *maybe* sync to ns004.unternet.net with a `connect=ns004.unternet.net` directive in ~/.americancoin/americancoin.conf. let me know if it doesn't work. update: `addnode=ns004.unternet.net` also worked for me. start sync, thanks! the old wallet is dead? no, your old wallet should be just fine. you backed it up I hope!

for what it's worth, I reached out to Steven Steiner, CEO of freebitcoins.com, and asked him to list AmericanCoin on the exchange. he's open to the idea! -- jc

What about the commit? Other diff adjust algo? Do you want to make some changes in the commit?
too many changes, it won't be AmericanCoin any more. but I can't stop you.

Too much time without blocks,..., Hard fork at block 361724? I notice it's at 361725, did you fork? will I still be able to run the old software?

dead coin?
not really dead, but on life support. only a few of us mining, although the difficulty shot way up a few months ago so somebody's going at it hard. no exchanges have listed it since mtgox went tits-up, and my attempt to use it for atomic swaps failed, as the software's support for p2sh transactions is apparently insufficient. I haven't yet dedicated the time to investigating further to see what needs to be done.

Unbelievable! I found AMC! The wallet synchronizes! I lost all my coins in Cryptsy with Vernon trumpet. I had AMC in value of 1Btc. I am very happy to find this small community again.
nobody knows what the current value of AMC/BTC might be. it could well be 0. but I'm trying to understand cross-chain atomic swaps well enough to try it between AMC and another coin. if that can be done, to hell with the exchanges, we can maybe get AmericanCoin viable again.

is nobody mining except me? all the blocks I've mined since April 2nd are still marked "immature". I guess the big miners are waiting for the difficulty to drop again before they bother.
on another note, the halving should be happening soon shouldn't it? I can't remember at which block it's supposed to happen but it should be coming up.

I got it! thanks man! I'm 70000 AMC richer... now to see if this ever translates into USD again :^)

Sorry, why can not I find more information about this project?
probably because very few are interested in it. there are only a few full nodes running, there are no block explorers, and no exchanges list it. most people don't know it exists.

yep, read the thread. the project folded weeks ago.

Is is PoW, PoS, Masternodes? Algorithm? Wallet? Besides the cool name, what distinguishes this from a shitcoin?
PoW, Scrypt, wallet is desktop only, most up to date software I know of is my branch https://github.com/jcomeauictx/AmericanCoin. but it doesn't have anything distinguishing it. just another out-of-date Litecoin clone.
