5. A plan for the future - Attacking the bitcoin developers, developers who have released stable clients for all platforms seems low. You should be grateful as they did all the work for SolidCoin while you made minor hacks and changed the name. You claim the Bank of America might take over the bitcoin network! That's crazy FUD and I advise you to remove that statement before the Bank of America sue you for Libel.
I believe the origin of the Bank of America quote is from the betabeat article about Gavin's keynote at the conference: He said he hopes that in five years, Bitcoin “will be boring.” As in, no calls from reporters, no hype and no drama. Just a niche currency with a robust community–possibly administered facilitated by institutions as mainstream as Bank of America. They've actually changed that since they originally wrote the article. It was originally a stronger statement. Presumably Gavin corrected them. It was "He said he hopes that in five years, Bitcoin “will be boring.” As in, no calls from reporters, no hype and no drama. Just a niche currency with a robust community–possibly administered by Bank of America.". |

Anyone else not able to log in?
Works for me. Make sure you enter your exchange user id, not your open id, in the login box. It'll then redirect you to the open id you used at sign up. |

I'd like that. It looked like LP was setup, but apparently not. Please tell me I can do it with the client and not have to have blkmond.
Just modify blkmond so that it works on the solidcoin network. All you need to do is change it so it uses the pchMessageStart used by solidcoin, and connect to your running solidcoind using the right port. |

I can't seem to find what the "fixed transaction fee" is? Is this really that helpfull of an incentive?
It means it's set to 0.01 SC in the client. For it to change the client has to be modified and a large number of nodes updated to run it. |

For example if you use pushpool as pool backend, there's a config option to enable longpoll, which is active by default, however longpolling events are triggered by an external daemon called blkmond which connects to bitcoind as a node and watches out for new blocks. once it finds them it sends a SIGUSR1 signal to the pool, which then triggers a LP event. However, blkmond does only work for bitcoin, and not (yet) for other blockchains, so I developed my own LP detector. It should also be noted that with pushpoold + blkmond only one blockchain per system can have LP actually enabled. My solution can differ between pushpoold instances. So all of the above may make it look like for a miner as if the pool really does LP, however most are not, some are sending Bitcoin LP messages, some don't even claim to do LP. I did some research into that :-D
I'm well aware of how blkmond works having modified it for many of the other chains. I also run my own SolidCoin pool which definitely supports long polling. And as I said the SC BTCGuild pool also supports longpolling. Your claim that you are the only pool that supports long polling is incorrect. |

Join the only pool with Long Polling... This is not true, every solidcoin pool I know of has long polling support. You have lower stales because you've started your pool at a time when difficulty is higher and blocks aren't being created so fast. You also have less users. Pools, like the SC Guild pool, which have a large number of users take time to notify all long pollers that a new block has been found which is one reason why stales can be a little bit higher. So while I think it can be right for you to advertise lower stales for now, you're wrong about being the only pool with long polling. |

I suspect that he is doing better on solidcoins than i0coins/ixcoins and probably could lower the fee, but that doesnt seem dependent on what other pools are doing
No, the pool is still running at a loss. As of this writing it has found 9,125 blocks. That's a total of 292,000 SC. At 5% fee that's 14,600 SC income for the pool. Of those blocks 509 were orphaned. That's 16,288 SC paid out to users in orphan blocks that the pool did not receive. So the pool is running at a 1,688 SC loss. That's about 50 BTC worth or $400 USD at current value. |

Any chance of lowering the SC pool fee from 5% down to 3% to match that of your IX pool? I really like Bitparkings pools, but the BTC's ~1.6% fee is looking pretty attractive.
The pool pays out on orphans. I think it's the only pool that does that. The fee is higher to help cover that. There are plenty of other pools if you prefer a different payout mechanism. |

I already changed it once when i realized it sounded a bit accusing.
I think "Bitparking.com Steels Bitcoins..." is slighty more than "a bit accusing". |

This fork seemed rather interesting until I decided to try it and promptly hit that issue.
Correct me if I'm wrong but bitcoin uses wxwidgets-2.9 as well. |

They'll need to be restarted.
Ok, thanks. I'll update my exchange and pool this weekend. |

On Sept 1rst 2011 at 00:12:51 UTC (in under a week), the new client will switch over to a new Ixcoin-specific pchMessageStart peering marker from the original Bitcoin marker. This change was recommended by a few although we haven't had reports of any issues with this yet. Better safe than sorry. The updated Ixcoin nodes will not be able to communicate with non-updated Ixcoin clients after that date. ( commit) Will nodes have to be restarted at this time or will they automatically start using the new marker? I guess there will be a bit of churn around this time too as nodes with skewed clocks change early or late. |

The sources for the full client do not compile under linux...
It builds fine for me on linux. Make sure you build and install wxwidgets-2.9.2 with no options disabled. SolidCoin uses a feature that bitcoin doesn't. |

Is there a mining profibality calculator?
Cause i dont want to mine i its under power cost.
coinotron lists the alternate chains and which ones are profitable to mine vs btc. |

The official bitcoin client code and binaries are scrutinized by a large community; any attempt to introduce a trojan would be spotted immediately.
In contrast, you are alone releasing solidcoin, you can do pretty much what you want.
At some point the bitcoin binary is compiled and released by a single individual. It's possibly for them to slip something in that steals wallets too and hard for anyone to find out. How are you to know they source they compiled the binary with is the source that was scrutinized? |

Deposits and withdrawals in for i0coins in the i0coin exchange are suspended until the issue is fixed. This is to prevent withdrawals occurring on a 'split' chain and the receipient on a different split of the chain not getting their funds. Let's hope the developers comes up with a fix!

That's with the block chain already deleted to start from scratch, actually.
Yes, you're right, I just tested. It looks like the i0coin network is dead. Perhaps the maintainer of the software can comment. |

How long does a successful sell order take to show up in one's available funds? My BTC balance is incorrect.
It's immediate. PM me details if you think something is incorrect and I'll explain why it isn't. |

Strace doesn't say anything about it failing to bind network ports, I'm not sure what kind of address it's talking about.
Nice software product there. It looks like it was coded by infosys or wipro.
if you're running Gnome or DBUS then the JSON-RPC port used by solidcoin is probably conflicting. They both use 7556. Add the 'rpcport=...' option in solidcoin.conf, setting '...' to another port number. |

Most likely it's because browser's don't allow XMLHttpRequests on domains other than the page they are being served from. This is known as 'Cross Origin' requests and is limited by the 'same domain policy'. The usual workaround is to make the request on your server, or proxy it from your webserver, so you can retrieve it coming from your own domain. |
