I think a forum is a great idea!

Rant all you want guys but it's not going to help. The price of any of these coins are what people perceive them to be. All of us HempCoin supporters must buy the cheap coins and people will take notice. How do you think any of these coins take off? There needs to be initial buy support. If you are complaining about this coin then just go and buy some. I say we all buy any orders under 25 satoshis to start. Anytime you see any order under 25 just buy it. Then we will move it up to 50, etc.

You have to understand market structure. There is an accumulation phase... these foolish miners will keep dumping into our pockets for cheap. Eventually they won't be able to mine as many coins and sell for so cheap. At this point we will have accumulated lot's of THC, there won't be as much available to sell and the power will change hands. Study this graphic for a basic understanding if you are unfamiliar



It is not only market structure that matters. There needs to be a strong active developer. I suggest as a community we kinda take over the development of this coin. Everyone can work on something and we will turn this into something big. The explorer looks great! Maybe add some anon functionality or some new feature that is cool. A coin can turn from nothing into something pretty fast but the people behind it must understand this game we play.

I saw it briefly yesterday when I refreshed the frontpage of the explorer I'm working on that shows the network hash rate.   I kept an eye on it over the day and it was in the 40-80 range.  It's lower now at around 25..

For growing season your wallet needs to be open and unlocked.

Just saw the network hashrate at over 100GH/s.  Woowoo!

I'm not totally sure what this could be. I'll list a couple more things I would try if I was troubleshooting it on my box.

Try running hempcoin with -repairwallet  not sure if you'll have more luck there.

I'd probably try dumping my private key for each address and then import the keys into a a fresh new wallet that has had everything deleted including everything in %APPDATA%\Hempcoin deleted..   This is done in the command console in the hempcoin wallet.  dumpprivkey <address>  I've never done this so I don't have a list of all the steps to export/import but it should be pretty easy and any tutorial for bitcoin should work for hempcoin I'd think.

Still be careful to be sure you have a wallet.dat backup in case other things you try don't work.

I'm not great with fixing every problem there is with wallets but hoping this helps.

Go to: C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\Hempcoin  (i hope windows 7/8.1 are the same) 
Turn on view hidden files - I do this by going to the folder then holding alt on my keyboard which brings down a file menu at the top, then go to tools>folder options>view tab - check view hidden files and folders then make a copy of the wallet.dat somewhere safe.

AFTER backing up your wallet.dat options to try are:

Make sure you have the latest hempcoin-qt off of hempcoin.org

1) Try opening hempcoin with a -salvagewallet switch:   hempcoin-qt.exe -salvagewallet (I think this one should do the trick.. I'm hoping so.)
2) Try deleting everything in C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\Hempcoin except for wallet.dat and hempcoin.conf then re-open/resync
3) Last option, you could try deleting everything but hempcoin.conf from C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\Hempcoin.  Make sure you have that wallet.dat backed up though, you'll lose your coins if the wallet.dat isn't the problem.

Hope this helps!

windows 8.1

are you on windows or linux?

I do this..  Go to Help > commandline console then type

walletpassphrase yourpassword

or... if I just have it open for staking I do this.
walletpassphrase yourpassword 99999 true

walletpassphrase <passphrase> <timeout> [mintonly]
Stores the wallet decryption key in memory for <timeout> seconds.
mintonly is optional true/false allowing only block minting.

Nice coin, I will follow you in the future, and please do well your work.
