Nice Im gonna hook up to that fucking aggregator and let my feed daemon dive into the awesomeness of delivering thousands of irritating updates to my desktop. Somone need a snickers.... For some reason that aggregator sucked out over 600K usd of my bank account, maybe it stealthily connected to my browsing history and retrieved my credentials from there, otherwise its impossible that money vanished on its own, without outside interference. That's nuts. You're working with the bank on this, I'd imagine you have your firewall active and a decent spyware program. It's possible you have a key logger, but I don't know enough about your system to say for sure. Normally secure sessions require IP verification if you or a hacker attempts to log in from a different IP than your main router. |

After one year of collecting Solarcoin on an exchange I have downloaded the wallet to my computer and sent my coins to my wallet from Bittrex. Bittrex shows that it went through but I don't see anything in Solarcoin wallet yet. The blockchain says it was received. Is this just my old computer not working correctly with the wallet or is this normal for it not to show up in wallet for a bit? Thanks
If you're fully in synch, it should show. Did you do a clean install of the newest wallet? The wallet is a little finicky, but once you get everything set up, it works properly. How long has it been? Bittrex is slow on many coin transactions. |

You got my vote.  Mine too. Not that it matters since your Post has already been hidden by the mods. I love reddit and the free uncensored internet  For what it's worth, they don't like Litecoin either. Solarcoin has an uphill battle with the net crowd, but that's not who it's catered to generally. It's finding real acceptance where it's supposed to, that's all that matters. The mission is sound, and the reaction from industry is positive. I foresee good technology emerging from what's already been developed. |

It would be great if they accepted SLR of course.  But in either case, does this doodad work on the pi2/3 as well? |

Just some more info on the Raspberry Pis, Im now using my Pi2 as my fulltime staking machine and have all of my SLR on it. So I hope shortly to be able to confirm a staked block. I have done a bunch of transactions without issues. My Pi seems more reliable at syncing with the block-chain than my windows machines this is the best news. I have a Pi3b on chain as well. Now, it is about 50% solar powered, because we are in December here in Tokyo. But when I take it to the Emirates I will try to get it more solar powered. Are you mining the sun? |

someone is accumulating solarcoins and it isnt me but I have an idea who it is. Hopefully my theory is right  Cryptonick? Sorry had to. |

For those interested. A team active on Telegram has gotten solarcoin up and running raspberrypi which is very cool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi That means a solarcoin node for $35 that could be posting live solar production data and or earning interest while maintaining the chain with POST is quite cool. Obviously 1gb storage limitation is an issue so either enhanced storage or a version using checkpoints might be considered as solutions for full node. well done to the team of community members. We are waiting for a summary and write up from Luke and team here is what is up on steem: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@jza/build-a-headless-solarcoin-node-on-raspberry-piWe solved the storage issue because the Pi's have multiple USB slots where we store the synced blockchain. It is good practice according to ROKOS staking rules to store your blockchain on removable USB keys rather than on the SD card that has the OS running on it. So these USB keys now have storage over 64GB. Currently the SLR blockchain is around 800MB to 1GB and growing steadily. Thanks, -lfloorwalker Bitcoin's blockchain is over 60 GB now, and it took this long with heavy use. Though you can plug USB hard drives into the pi also, and I'm assuming you can set up a network disk as well? Something I've been considering trying. |

I've closed it and restarted, even deleted the program twice and re-loaded, but didn't help.
.... finally I manually downloaded the blockchain and that worked to sync it.
Good! It's great you're staking again. |

Anyone else having problems with 2.1.8???
My wallet hasn't fully synced for several weeks now ... ever since the mandatory update to 2.1.8
Close the application, and restart. If that doesn't work, rescan your wallet. It's still a little cumbersome, but on the most part it's working well. Also check that you're running 2.1.8. The installer is a little funky for some reason it won't install it like it says if there's already a copy of 2.1.7 (2.1.7.1). You may have to delete the files in the solarcoin program folder, then reinstall. And of course make sure you backup, or have backups of your wallet before any update. |

Looks like 2.1.8 is stable so far.
I would like to be able to get 2.1.8 running. I download 2.1.8 from solarcoin.org and from the 2.1.7 and both times it reinstalls and reloads the block chain fine, but both times the HELP ABOUT says it is 2.1.7 !! It then, once again, prompts me to install the mandatory update to 2.1.8 Ground Hog Day .... T I ran across this problem. Right click the solarcoin shortcut, hit properties and click the find target tab. Delete everything in the solarcoin program folder. Note this isn't the appdata folder so your wallet shouldn't be in there, but if it is by some unreasonable explanation, make a backup of it anyway. Reinstall 2.1.8 and it should run properly. |

Just out of interest: Why are there suddenly 39,146,979 SLR in circulation? How do 3-4 Million SLR just magically get added to the supply and where did they come from? It looks like the wallet generated a new address due to a grant and mixed coins around. That's what it appears like to me. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/slr/block.dws?1461199.htm4.5 mil looks like it went to an internal wallet address. There was only 1 transaction for 20k slr. |

Action Required! Mandatory update to 2.1.8 using the wallet’s Check for Update feature, or downloading it from the solarcoin.org website.
SolarCoin Community,
Thank-you for your patience as we get through this fork. We rolled out 2.1.6 to reduce the minimum transaction fee from 0.001 to 0.0001, with a fork scheduled for block height 1440000. Because this was not a hard-fork, it opened the door for 2.1.1 nodes to reject transactions for not paying the minimum fee of 0.001. This was expected to cause a soft fork, which it did. However, I suspect that when transactions were sent from 2.1.1 nodes to 2.1.6 nodes, this also created a third fork among the 2.1.6 nodes.
We tried to remedy this in 2.1.7 by creating a hard fork, bumping the protocol version from 70004 to 70005, and blocking nodes on older protocols. This was somewhat successful. However, there were still 2.1.7 nodes creating mini-forks. We issued 2.1.7.1, which added four new blockchain checkpoints, and required more node connections before allowing a wallet to stake. Because this was not a staking issue, but a transaction fee issue, those on 2.1.7.1 that were not sending transactions (i.e. the master node, explorers and many in the community) managed to stay in sync.
We are actively testing version, 2.1.8, which retains the reduced transaction fee (SLR 0.0001), and reverts all of the special forking logic back to a code state equivalent to 2.1.1 (but still using protocol version 70005, which blocks 2.1.1 nodes).
Please update your Qt wallet ASAP to 2.1.8 and begin staking so we can get the network stable again.
Note: This update forces a Blockchain Reload. After the reload, please rescan your wallet.
We will notify the exchanges and explorer ASAP. The website will be updated later today.
I have a huge problem. When Im connected with my ISP I CAN'T download anything from the Solarcoin website anymore. Its crazy but someone I think my ISP is blocking everything. When I connect with a VPN it suddenly works. Thats why I wasn't getting any new bocks from the new Version yesterday. I guess ill have to run my node on a VPN now. what a bunch of jerks I'm installing VPNS on my nodes and should have them back up soon Call your ISP, it could be a configuration problem inside your modem. After the hurricane that blew through here my modems file got corrupted, comcast had to resend a valid file to the modem because I could access some websites but others just wouldn't download. |

I seem to be back on the long chain again, so far so good
Just installed the new update and reloading blockchain. I will post the results 2.1.7.1 is ready to go. Help->Check for Update, then let me know if you are still having issues. Thanks, again, everyone. -Steve Now it doesn't even try to catch up - it's In Sync right after downloading the bootstrap. I will post a screenshot and a text file with the getpeerinfo. I am connecting from a cellular IP (random within the provider's range). EDIT: will repeat the bootstrap download, just to be sure it got right. EDIT2: Now it works! This time it did sync up to the current Explorer block height, and keeps on syncing. Will now go on to upgrade all wallets. Thank you Steve! Yeah, I created a fresh bootstrap.zip from the master node about an hour ago so you would be almost in sync after bootstrapping. EDIT: I'm doing some post mortum, and even have a node syncing from the genesis block. That will take a while, but I'll post anything that comes up. Just sent you a 100 SLR tip Steve, thank you for your dedication. |

Hi all, for Lykkex, does anyone know why the pool address 8cSBrj3d9Hc2KZ6dfNCMHG4BqLwjMjNULP is not in the blockchain.
We are asked to send to this address, but for what i can see , it doesn't exist.
Thanks for your answer if you have, i have also asked to Alan.
fred
Dear Fred, the address was generated, but haven't been used earlier. Nick just tried to send small tx 0.5 SLR https://chainz.cryptoid.info/slr/address.dws?8cSBrj3d9Hc2KZ6dfNCMHG4BqLwjMjNULP.htm , which was successfully received. If you sent the transfer to this address earlier, but don't see transaction in the blockchain, you might need to roll back and rescan the wallet, and then resend the coins. We suggest to send a small amount first and wait for our confirmation before full transfer. Warm regards, Sergey Ivliev, COO Lykke I understand Lykke services aren't available for people in the US, does this mean I cannot provide solarcoin for the liquidity pool since I'm in the US? |

... In the console you can use> getpeerinfo to see the version and blockheight for each of the nodes you are connecting to. could even edit the solarcoin.conf file to start with nodes that are both 2.1.6 and have blockheight similar to figure shown in Chainz explorer. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/slr/#... This was very helpful, thank you Nick! To be clear, getpeerinfo reports the starting height of the node trying to connect to you. If the starting height is less than the height of your node, your node will push its inventory to the requesting node. It is NOT the current height of that node, just the height at the point in time that it connected to you. -Steve I can't get the new wallet to run on my XP machine. I did a clean install of the blockchain, and restored a wallet image. Added only peers from 2.1.6, etc. I have a windows 7 machine that does run the wallet, stays on the right chain, but reports a higher balance than what's currently in the wallet. |

Hi folks, here's my short story ... so far. I came into mining about 6 months ago. Had a HP 8600W Workstation, that was running 24/7 quite underutilized. So I thought why not making some extra money?! To stay easy I went with nicehash. I soon noticed my good old trusted Nvidia Quadro was no more beefy enough for nowadays. So I ended up adding 400,-- € with 2 RX290x cards to my system. Seemed to make them pay themself in 2-3 months at that point, selling hashpower for ether. Let them run with minor tweaking and now, just a few days ago they paid themself (as long as I dont calculate power use). Great so far, profit might be coming. Thats when I learned about Zcash and the Claymore miner. Went fast, quite easy installation and worked fine. Have been running V1, V1.1 and V2 with success, for about a day each . Made about 50% more BTC than on Ether for a Moment. Then I got greedy. Tweaked settings up to 1125/1500 with good result. Ran for hours ... When I stopped the miner for some updates, the system fried. Got a black screen and the system blackscreens again at boot up or after login. Even with different GPUs. I'll go on figuring out tomorrow. Right now, I'd say I killed the board or the PSU or both and a "new" used Workstation might be needed. If that's the case I'll be set another 500,-- € back. At least unpleasurable when you are already set back with a big Vets bill because of some asshole that poisened and killed your dog.  So worth the money? I'd say no. But it's a experience and a gamble. I'll be back soon, maybe... Cheers Peter Did you pay attention to heat? I'm paranoid about heat issues. I don't run my cards more than 10% OC and that's just the GPU, I don't even like to mess with the ram clock. I also unlocked and under volt my cards. Mining ZEC barely produces any heat, takes about 2/3's of the power of mining ethereum and 1/2 the power of mining the old litecoin that I originally built the rig for. |
