I apologize everyone for the delay, this would be my fault.  Things seem to compile correctly and the wallet even attempts to sync, but hangs there.  This is without version incrementation, mind you.

That makes no sense... Why would you NOT incrament the version number on such a major change, or even a minor change?

At-least append a note or something to indicate that the download is "not the old version"... The purpose for version numbers is to indicate a change forward. The purpose for a major version change is to stress the importance of "need to update".

If this is a needed update, it needs a new major version number. (Especially if it has any checkpoints and modifications to reward.)

This is almost more disturbing than the actual update itself.

I apologize for the lack of clarity.  I intend on incrementing the version number, I just posted to let everyone know that I have tried compiling with incrementation and without.  Some Devs find not incrementing the version number to be a solution in a situation like this.

Any update at all from the devs would be nice. Morning is fast turning into night and still no word. Let us know it's going to be a while longer if you need more time. I'd even take a dev post telling me to kiss his ass at this point so I know at least where I stand on my holdings.

I apologize everyone for the delay, this would be my fault.  Things seem to compile correctly and the wallet even attempts to sync, but hangs there.  This is without version incrementation, mind you.  I'm still getting to the root of the issue, but I will keep you posted.  I'll be making time sensitive announcements about this wallet update from now on, too.  If you wish to PM me or email me with more questions, feel free.  

P.S: From one person (heavily) invested in AIRcoin to another, KEEP those AIRcoins.  You're going to need them later (I can only speak for TeamAIRcoin's growing investment in this project, no numbers to back that up).  Still working to resolve the new update,

there goes the 0.002 wall Cheesy Total buy orders also increasing.




If I'm not mistaken, the Trollbox on Poloniex is giving some serious consideration to AIR right now.  Everyone out there doing serious work for AIR, GOOD JOB.  Just showing them the bitcointalk thread analysis and telling them about the Dev team is eliciting some good responses.  I see you  scottlilo and sly!

This was one of the most successful launches on poloniex. Congrats to the developers. I was a bit skeptical because of the bad reputation of the exchange, but it seems we hold 1st place in trading volume. Already 43+ BTC Price is stable and I expect it to keep rising steadily. Good work guys!

Thanks!  We had a squad of well trained market operatives waiting to help out the market, but the community itself was front and center on Poloniex, doing most of the heavy lifting... That took us by surprise.  Still, as great of a job the users did with helping make their own market, you never know when you need the big guns to step in  Wink.

yeah bully at bitcoin u aircoin 'developer'(or cloner), this will make you look high for sure, what a crapcoin, I now wonder how people fall into this Lips sealed

There is a lot in here.  Perhaps some elaboration, so we can help straighten a couple of things out?
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] AIRcoin - Professional Investment, No Fees, Rising Exchange Rate on: March 15, 2014, 03:08:16 AM
Just like to say congratulations to you Aircoin team for a successful launch on the exchange.

The price was just as what you have described and steadily growing.

While I didn't have much hash power to begin with, I'm glad I mined it early on.

I have a couple of questions.

1. How often will AIRcoin adjust it's reward and would it be announced beforehand?

2. When the Team (particular Theseus) make a profit on the "investment pool", how quick will that reflect on AIRcoin's value?

Thanks and keep up the good work.

1. It really depends on the expertise of the traders on the floor at the time, and Alexander can always personally override a directive.  This is sit-at-your-terminal-and-carefully-watch trading, and we are just going by the seat of our pants here.

2.  This goes back to 1.  To be honest though, we aren't in direct control of AIRcoin's price, we are just keeping it within a specific (not in our best interest to announce what this is specifically) range around the market price.    

EDIT: 2. is not even continuously.  Essentially if we see a potential problem, we move.  So far, the market seems to be doing fine without much help from us (odd, but incredible).

Two questions.
1) What time zone are you in.

2) What kind of media coverage are you looking to secure?


Primarily blogs and web articles about the coin, and the release of a script of a Q and A with Alexander by a reporter will be distributed as well.

Are there any plans to sell some of the pre-mine at launch of an exchange or are you going to rely on the coins mined so far to determine market value by the miners selling them?

I asked a related question on the sub-reddit but still waiting for a reply there so might post it here too. My understanding is most of the pre-mine goes towards this investment pool used for trading. Do you need to sell AIR for BTC from this pool to fund the trading or will there be AIR trading pairs established by the exchanges or will there be some initial seed funding used for early trading?

The AIR will be converted to BTC or LTC (depending on available markets) to trade this investment pool, and then converted back to AIR when the pool grows, to raise the exchange rate or to counteract dumps. This is the primary way we stabilize the exchange rate. The pool allows us to leverage gains with this large volume. A 1% gain on a pool of 50,000 AIR equivalent allows us to counteract a 10% price fall in a market depth of 5,000 AIR, for example.


That's not really what I expected to hear. Basically means just another premine dump by the devs...

No, it may be a "premine dump" to raise BTC capital but they plan to reinvest it for the coin's benifit. THAT is not like most previous coins. It's just a matter of faith at this point in time. They have a plan, they are following through with it and they are keeping us in the loop. What more can we ask? It's the 12 hour, you are either onboard or not, strap in or move back cuz it's about to launch.

My question is down the road from the exchange launch will there be an aggressive campaign or strategy to add services,stores etc that accept aircoin?

Most certainly, if I have anything to say about it (and I do, being the lead technical programmer) this coin will be aggressively expanding the developer pool (part of the AIA, as outlined in the whitepaper)  to really make high-impacting decisions as a GROUP on the future of crypto-currency code in general.  Yes, we are VERY much working to expand to real world application of the currency, and could use any help in that regard our users hope to offer.  Developer, speculator, economist, trader, user and or crypto-currency enthusiast, no matter what you classify yourself as, if you know someone who could help realize Team AIRcoin's ideals and is okay working over the web with some intelligent, experienced, ambitious individuals (I at least enjoy working with them and have observed these qualities), get them in contact with us.  Launching is just the beginning people, we have some work to do if we seriously want to implement these changes in the real world.  

TIP: AIR is just starting to move on Poloniex, btw.

EDIT: I almost forgot to mention the community: well spoken, thoughtful, and interested in a long term solution to some of the ills facing crypto-currency adoption, even if they have to accept going against norms in developer-user crytpo-currency management (I personally see this as progressive).

i dont see why miners dump so early,the price could have gone way up if they didnt dump so soon


Proteus here,
There will be dumpers.  But we are (and have been) ready and waiting.  So far this initial pump and dump period isn't looking too crazy.  Big thanks to the informed traders/miners/investors educating others as to the nature of AIRcoin on Poloniex.  The coin will survive the pumpers and dumpers, and from there it looks like clear skies.

Can you guys please hook me up with more nodes ? I can't sync this fucker up beyond node 9114. Tried uninstalling, tried different machines, forwarding ports, even created a hotspot with my mobile phone. No dice.

I do have 4 connections to the network.

I mined quite a few of these coins but I cannot get my friggin wallet synced. It's driving me nuts. I've rarely have this much problems with a wallet....

We already addressed your issue back on page 19, it's the only problem that any users have reported (your post is the only one that has had trouble getting the wallet to sync since the update) about the wallet thus far and sounds exactly like the problem you are having. If you have already tried this and it didn't work, then we can offer better advice knowing that it wasn't this problem.

Our answer from page 19 is below:

My wallet doesnt seem to want to sync, it keeps saying "22 hours to catch up" I do have a connection to the network.

Did you update to 3.6.2 KGW?

http://teamaircoin.org/download/

Wallets that did not update to KGW will not be able to sync beyond a point close to block 9108. So far, this update has been the only replicatable problem we've had with wallets not being able to sync, so it is most likely that. Part of this was our fault for the lack of clarity around the release.

Otherwise, if you are certain it can be recommended that you delete your blocks, chainstate, and database folders (if you have a database folder) and then open the .exe again and let it attempt to re-sync from block 1.

Yeah I know and you  PM'ed me too, which is much appreciated but alas, to no avail.
I've installed dozens of wallets and have never run into this before. That I'm the only one reporting this is even more puzzling. Oh well. I guess AIRcoin is not to be for me. Those couple of hundred coins are lost then. Unless someone wants to buy my wallet .dat, lol

I'm on it.  It seems one of the developers using AIRCOINDEV O has tried to solve this before, so I'll take a look at it using those notes.  Check your PM in 2 minutes please.

pitythepool down?

my workers are still working

but the website is not.

It's good for me but i had troubles with the website too yesterday, till your workers are working there is no problems.

hopefully...

also, my wallet won't sync past block 9114, any fix for that?

Close the .exe.  Delete the blocks, chainstate, and db.log files/folders in your AppData/Roaming/AIRcoin folder.  Then restart the .exe.

really? that bad?

ugh i hate wallets that do this, i'm sick of wasting so many GB/month on various coins doing this.


You may also try just re-downloading the wallet.
