Difficulty is only 1029. Shouldn't I be able to find a single block within an hour with 2GH/s?
Average is 37 minutes for you so more than and hour is still reasonable. |

Payouts for the Bitparking pool and exchange are slightly slow at the moment due to what appears to be a solidcoin bug where the client lags behind the real blockchain. This results in long transaction confirmation times. I've updated the exchange page with this information, along with other solidcoin issues I hit while using it. Unfortunately due to bugs in SolidCoin some withdrawals may take a while to confirm. The solidcoin client is getting 'stuck' on some blocks and lagging behind the main blockchain.
These bugs being introduced to SolidCoin make it difficult to use by sites. Other bugs introduced by SolidCoin that have caused issues with the exchange include:
The fixed 0.01 SC transaction fee allowed large spam transactions to be created cheaply. These transactions caused nodes to crash (this is why Ruxum stopped taking SolidCoin) and extra disk space and CPU time to process.
The fix to deal with the transaction fee above was to reduce the allowed transaction sizes. This caused issues in the exchange when processing withdrawals as they often exceeded this size due to wallet fragmentation. The exchange had to stop deposits and withdrawals until a fix was obtained.
Old clients not containing the transaction fee changes above (1.02 and below) can send transactions over the 4KB limit introduced above. These will not make it onto the network and will stay at 0/unconfirmed forever. This was made worse by the SolidCoin developers not updating the website with clients newer than 1.02 for some time.
All of the above bugs are new and introduced by the SolidCoin developers.

What's it going to take to get IXcoin back on line?
Thanks for the kind words! IXcoin's back online already. I announced it in #ixcoin-discussion a few hours ago. |

Is that just Solid Coins or any new version of Crypto that comes out?
Sorry, I edited just after I posted and added "I'm of the opinion that any future alternate chain needs to bring something substantially new to the table rather than just tweaking existing things.". I'm still interested in alternate chains and what they can improve or do differently. |
|

If we find a way to take back SC and make it open source are you saying you still won't open an exchange?
Correct, I have no further interest in solidcoins. I'm of the opinion that any future alternate chain needs to bring something substantially new to the table rather than just tweaking existing things. |

The problem probably lies in the fact that the people behind SC are better developers than public relations people or leaders.
If this is the case they must be truly awful public relations people. The bugs that caused Ruxum to close were caused by the SolidCoin developers. Which particular changes do you think makes them good developers? |

Not that I believe Realsolid did the right thing (I certainly support open source), it should be noted that under the MIT license he is capable of doing what he did legally, so if it is successful (which I personally believe it won't be) I don't see why it matters if you don't have a preference.
RealSolid removed the COPYING file from the source distribution. That file, the license, states: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in
all copies or substantial portions of the Software. He also renamed the copyright in each file from 'Bitcoin Developers' to 'Solidcoin Developers'. When called out for this by one of the bitcoin developers he refused to change saying something to the effect of "Why should you have a copyright on the bugs you've added". Would you be happy if someone took your open source code, removed the license and changed all the copyright statements to be someone else? |

You triggered an automated system for suspicious trading and got a temporary IP ban. I've lifted it now. |

This is not correct. Bitcoin is under the MIT/X11 license which allows people to restrict or close it up as they like. Also, even if Bitcoin was GPL'd and they tried to pull this, their Technically SolidCoin is violating the bitcoin license due to the removal of the COPYING file in the source distribution which has this text: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in
all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
Not to mention the global replacement of the copyright notice of the bitcoin developers in all the source files to be 'solidcoin developers'. |

I have no interest in this, sorry.

Now that I mention it. I had a sell order on that exchange which doesn't show up in the deposit box.
I guess every one elses aren't either.
The buy and sell orders are listed in the 'Deposit' tab. They are still there and are able to be cancelled. |

Where did all my SolidCoins go? I just withdrew from Bitparking earlier this morning and they just disappeared. There's no trace of them in my SC client at all and it's been about 50 blocks.
There are issues with the solidcoin client and network causing delays in confirmations in some transactions. This is related to the transaction and block limit sizes recently introduced as well as the developer keeping the 1.02 client available for download on the solidcoin site even though 1.03 and 1.031 were released. It's even possible for transfers from the 1.02 client to be forever stuck at 0/unconfirmed due to the new rules in the later versions not accepting them. If you still have not got the funds in 24 hours, PM me with the address you withdrew to and I'll track down what the issue is. |

Don't forget the new license text: Copyright (c) 2011 SolidCoin Developers
All changes made by SolidCoin developers require express permission to be used

Latest release of SolidCoin source posted in IRC contains a 'readme' document with the following text: Copyright (c) 2011 SolidCoin Developers
All changes made by SolidCoin developers require express permission to be used

I do not think that he is a bad guy (actually I do not know either way). I am just saying that I trust no one and if you guys want to have some self-updated software controlled by one anonymous guy somewhere on internet next to your bitcoin wallet.dat than be my guest. Also go and ask mybitcoin to restart their service.
Everyone should be aware of this I hope. I'd never run an alt-chain related binary without checking the source compared to a known bitcoin release and analysing the differences then building from source. |

b) It seems that coinhunter develops everything "in house". doublec updates the git repo afterwards
Again, just clarifying things. I'm not involved in solidcoin development. I do run an exchange and pool for solidcoin. I created that git repo to make it easy for me to diff and compare new solidcoin changes to make sure nothing bad is embedded before I build and deploy to the exchange and pool. It's not an 'official solidcoin' release source. |

Not if you fork the blockhain from block 1. But again they could hardcode fork prevention into the client. Is it not what all the new updates all about by any chance?
That still affects the exchange operator in that they have angry clients who lose their solidcoins that they've paid bitcoins for. The first couple of solidcoin releases did include checkpoints btw. Based on my reading the latest only contains the fix to the transaction spam issue. |

Where are those fixes, exactly? I didn't notice them in your commit history. Can you point them out? Just to clarify, that's my commit history, grouping changes from a source code diff of the released zipped source files, since CoinHunter didn't provide a git history himself. I didn't go into detail in the GUI commits to break out individual fixes for example. |

Not to mention that such an attack affects the exchange operator and doesn't affect the creator or developers.
