Polo is a solid outfit. There is not stopping stupid. On the bright side, stupid people tend to die young. On the other hand, they also reproduce like rabbits.

And yes, these day to day swings are more an annoyance than anything else. Once we get our platforms built and on the market, that will drive the exchanges, rather than the other way 'round.

Some idiot is dumping at ridiculous prices. Those of you looking for opportunity, I'd say there it is... and if you know who's dumping, smack 'em upside the head with a cluebat, will ya?

Buckle up and hang on

Love your screen name, by the way

He wasn't a guest, he was Atlas, a fairly infamous troll who got permanently banned.

It's actually about three weeks behind. The script kept crashing the server. I will update it today manually. I've no idea where this 49 weeks comes from.

bear in mind that a bootstrap does take a few hours to work. It's much faster than syncing from zero, but nowhere near instant.

Thanks, Jonesd.

I was a bit over the top there, but I have tried with this guy. Spacedevil, I don't retract anything I've said, but I do apologise for my tone.

I'm rather tired of being nice. So...

If you cannot compile a wallet from source as a LINUX user, I suggest you return to Microsoft where you belong. Development workes in parallel, and some departments get ahead of others. Our site is being updated daily, sometimes hourly, and the wallet upgrades (yes UPGRADES!!! the current one works very well!!!) are a bit behind. We are not going to sit on our thumbs till a prettier version is ready, we're going to keep working until all the pieces come together, and then make more pieces. That is how it works. We're NOT Sony, we don't have thousands of people doing this stuff on a Rapid Deployment Schedule. They can hide their progress and mistakes, we cannot. Pointing out a mistake we've made (if it even is one) is one thing. Bringing FUD for the OBVIOUS purpose of being a jackass is another animal altogether. Get Thee Hence.

I cry bullshit. Sanity is strictly forbidden in crypto!

Thank you sir! We're trying to keep it fun, but we are very serious.

Several things. One, we cannot delete the original repo, as this coin was taken over just a short time ago. Either the noise23 repo or the gamecredits-project repo (currently identical) work. We can undo the things that were done, but we can't erase them. The current wallet needs addnodes, but aside from that works and compiles fine. I'm not sure why you're having trouble with it. I have literally compiled it dozens of times, without error.
Our homepage is a WIP, for sure. We are trying. There are six people on the core team and about another 8 that help us. We all have lives outside of the coin and are doing the best we can in our available time. We are working currently on an updated wallet that does not need addnodes, and that is the link that will be on the homepage. I actually disagree with this decision, but I was outvoted. There will be a great many changes, and yes, a downloadable Linux binary will be one of them. But we are small.

This coin has been through hell. First, it was essentially abandoned by it's original developers, leaving spaghetti code with more errors than government "logic" in it. Then, when it was in the process of being rebased, our main developer went AWOL, and we had to scramble to find people to help us. We still do not have a full time developer for the coin code. Noise23 assists as he can, and there are a couple others. We're seeking some additional people, but in the interim, we are doing as much as we can. Because we DO have some very dedicated people, we're getting it done. But not as fast as you would like. In that, we agree. All of us would like to see it happen faster.
Our game developer, who also maintains the website, is a freakin' genius, but he's not a crypto guy. He's gettin' there real quick, though, out of necessity.

It was supposed to be in the OP when we revamped it. Apparently got omitted, which I will see to it gets fixed. But in the meantime, I can answer those questions right now.

Algorithm: Scrypt
BlockTime: 90 seconds
Retarget: Every block.
Retarget Algorithm is takend from Earthcoin, as KGW (apparently) caused the chain to freeze prior to the current release.
Block Reward is 25 coins.

Anything else you can think of that we missed, let us know. It will be fixed ASAP. Thanks for pointing it out.

Well, I ain't been here anywhere near as long as you, even with my unregistered lurking time, but I do have a word of advice.

Never change your avatar! 

Woot! I got something right today Mine is always open anyway, but for the watchers...

Assuming you don't have your blocks distributed over a 30 day period, is there any reason to have the wallet open when no blocks are mature? I was under the impression that there was not, but I am not sure.

I assume you meant scrypt, and no, it isn't. All are derived from bitcoin code, and share most if not all of the same RPC commands as bitcoin. The mining algorithm and proof of stake components are different, of course, but the base code is still bitcoin. NXT, for instance, is programmed from the ground up. While conceptually similar to bitcoin, it's code is completely original. (and a pain in the ass, in my arrogant opinion).

I think I may have achieved journeyman status... pretty far from guru still

I can attest that these servers are quite good. Even when some dumbass Biomech puts more load than they're designed for on them.

Give us a couple days. We're working on it, and hopefully will have better syncing routines ready at the same time. Just got a guy willing to teach me how to do this, and OSX wallets. For future releases, we shouldn't have to go outside the core group

I unfortunately do not have the time this response deserves today. Really didn't expect me blowing off some steam to go anywhere But I'll briefly address this and come back to it when I'm not up to my ass in alligators. It's a very complex subject, one I've dedicated years to studying, agitating, etc...

But frankly the main problem with the current system isn't that it doesn't work, it's that it works too well. It as you said incentivises corruption at nearly every level, and has made it very much a government of rulership, rather than stewardship as originally proposed. Voting, frankly, isn't something particularly worthwhile. By voting you lend your support to a system and agree to abide by it, regardless of the outcome. Whether or not that is your intent. In small groups, where you have the opportunity to take the third choice and leave, that's ok. But in a large system like this, it merely adds to the ability for the corrupt to manipulate the system for their own good.

Eventually such large amorphous constructs consume themselves. This, in itself, is not so egregious. But they take a lot of innocents with them. I think that digital currencies are a step in the right direction. I'll revisit in much more detail when I have time.

This! I'd like to see a bit of a facelift on the wallet from time to time, and that's really it. TEK works as it should, and almost always has. I think I may have been the last to understand NVCS, and I'm still not concerned
