what is the latest version of the verge wallet? The one I downloaded the other day from the Verge website is version 2.0 and it says that it is obsolete. Thanks for the help.

@scatha Thanks that did give me an additional connection.

Varvarin, I hope things go well for you. Good luck ... appreciate your work for einstenium

cannot get wallet to sync. does anyone have some nodes that work. I tried everything listed above.
What is the name of the config file for china coin? Maybe I am using the wrong name or directory.
Thanks

Hey Lightfoot!

Just cranked up the board that you repaired. It is working great. I have now implemented a voltage check on the cable before connecting in just to make sure wiring is correct. All is good thanks again...
 

where is some good mining pools for emc2?

Good advice Biomech about not panicking. Panicking often leads to actions that end up wiping out any hope of recovering lost crypto coins. Always back up your wallets at least once a day. Another real good idea that I have found is to back up wallet just before you send coin to another address. Sometimes glitches on the network can cause your transaction to fail. If this happens and your wallet says the coin is gone and the coin network says there is no record of transaction the transaction will be unconfirmed. To fix this if you have backed up the wallet before sending all you have to do is restore the backup wallet and everything will be back the way it was before the bad transaction. I have prevented losses on two occasions by doing this.

It might be a good idea to put an automatic backup function in the wallet anytime someone sends coins. What do think?

what is the latest windows wallet version?

Hey I found a really good quality and low cost mining pool. The guy who runs it only charge 0.25% and the support person Meratzz is very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend mining there. He also sends out email updates to let you know which coins are hot and the most profitable. They also sometimes give away bonuses for certain coins to encourage people to mine there. The pool is http://verge.mastermining.net/  Each pool that you mine from you have to make a separate login for. So to mine at their Aurora pool you have to go to http://aur.mastermining.net/ I guess that is for
better security.

Whats wrong with BTC38 I am having trouble connecting.

Well eventually it was confirmed. What I did was leave the wallet open instead of having it closed. After about an hour it got its first confirmation and then it finished confirming very fast. I have since turned up the amount of transaction fee I am paying and I will make sure to leave wallet open until after the first confirmation. Alls well that ends well. Some times being patient is the best thing to do.

Thanks for the reply. This is the first time I have had a transaction not confirm. I am trying to learn the causes and the fix now in a hurry as it is a fairly large transaction. At least to me it is.

So sometimes transactions don't happen fast because the fee is set to low?

Can I export wallet out of multibit and into Bitcoin core wallet and then try and do what you suggest?

If I wait a couple of days will multibit stop broadcasting and just cancel the transaction so I can retry?

This transaction has been seen by 16 peers but still no confirmations.

Hello I have the same problem as the comment just above mine. I sent out some BTC about 24 hours ago. The transaction will not confirm. I am using Multibit Classic 0.5.19. Is there away to resend or cancel the transaction. Definitely can use the help. I checked the block explorer and the transaction is out there. It just is not confirming. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I already did a reset of the blockchain and transactions.

Amazing job Lightfoot. Nice fix... Keep up the good work.

I would prefer you guys do what earth coin does. It seems to be able to handle higher hashing rates without shutting down the system. Difficulty still increases but things keep moving on the network. You have to force the user to keep the hashing power going so he can't just raise the difficulty high and jump off. Is there away to sense that the hashing power drops away and then do a launch of one block quickly if that situation occurs. Its okay for the difficulty to stay up as long as someone is still hashing. But if the situation occurs where they hash to raise the difficulty and then jump out then the system should respond after so many minutes and just send out a winning coin block so the difficulty can then correct itself in a timely manner.

It might be a good idea for people to just step down the frequency or voltage just a dab in order to prevent the over current and extreme heating that leads to molex meltdown. That really looks like a mess. Its a good thing you guys are able to repair these for people.

The problem is that Verge stops issuing award blocks once the high hashing person finds a block. The difficulty then shifts to high difficulty and the perpetrator leaves the system hung for hours. This has to be fixed as the network must still issue award blocks even when extreme hash rate is issued. If it does not do this the entire verge system locks.

I think that the coin will always remain vulnerable to attack as long as this possibility exists. For Example some one on the Verge network has also discovered a vulnerability in that system as well. They have been for the last few days renting a huge hashing amount from one of the hash rental sites. They then attack Verge by hashing at 330 ghs this effectively shuts down the network for hours as the difficulty gets so high that the network does not award another block for more than 8 hours. Today they rented 550ghz and froze the network again. When this happens no one can do anything until the next award which is hours later. Wallets won't sync you can't send or receive coins its a real mess. You wind up hashing for hours and get no coins. This causes people to leave the network and switch to another coin and that makes the problem even worse. They will have to fix that somehow or people are going to abandon Verge.

We can try a wait and see strategy but I do not think that will work. Eventually if we decide to all split coins blocks and micro stake the network will eventually grind to a halt and our wallets will bog down our PCs as the Tekcoin wallet becomes unstable when it gets bloated. It starts spitting out large amounts of orphans.

If this is not fixed people will eventually get fed up and sell their coins and the value will plummet. I do not believe the ostrich approach will serve us well. If we choose to fight fire with fire and all decide to micro-stake all we will succeed in doing is burning down our own house.

I would like to hear from the developers and get their analysis on this. Maybe I am wrong but the staking system seems to me to be adversely affected by something over the last couple of weeks.

Yes I agree I can see no other way unfortunately. I also think a mandatory higher splitthreshold setting would also be of benefit as well. These tweaks will make the coin network stronger. I don't see how we can avoid a fork because of the good point Judge Dredd makes. The users who want to exploit the system will just continue to use the old wallet otherwise.

We should get all these things worked out then we can go about the marketing aspect for this coin. What is needed is a person to contact website owners and negotiate the installation of the Tekcoin software that can be used to purchase items on their website. We don't sell it to them we give it to them in order to make it a painless experience for the website vendors. They will have a win, win situation. They open up another avenue to sell their wares and it does not cost them anything to do so. We need thousands of sites offering Tekcoin purchase option. When this happens Tekcoin growth will expand exponentially. Everybody wins.
