Hi Oc when you will set a pool?

Hi Oc when you will set a pool?

He could goahead and get everything setup, find peers and such, then when the new genesis comes out launch it.

It seems, if IPv6 stack is enabled, the node tries to find peers using IPv6 only.
This will fail, because no peer is listening on an open IPv6 port.

Strange:
After reenabling the IPv6 Stack all is working well.
Seems that the node is caching known peers (like bitcon (peers.dat)

I cannot check this now, but perhaps this will help:
admin.addPeer("enode://4055ec69e53df4bfecb95e3b65c28e4f2a1145a3bdc4d85d077b552248cf159951afd649f044783bebf48b902fbc0e96978c76236fd4ab3d5ef7d95d72b84ee5@0.0.0.0:42786")

That seems like an accurate description of what is happening

That seems like an accurate description of what is happening

And what could be the solution for the average inexperienced user?
I think the client discover peers using IPv6 and IPv4 connections or it should prevent IPv6 connections.
And that should take place before the main launch, to allow a fair distribution!!

hi, i'm CryptoBeef !

let's go

[GoldTiger69]

Me GPU mining on windows to a linux daemon on my local network

What miner is it?  And how do you point the miner towards your daemon?
I can only use ethminer on the same box that's running the daemon. I tried using my local ip address and several rpc ports but it can't connect

please update the Linux instructions in OP (needed installing on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04)

sudo apt-get install git binutils bison gcc make libgmp3-dev curl
touch ~/.bashrc             (if file not exist, the installer creates no entry and gvm will not be found)
bash < <(curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moovweb/gvm/master/binscripts/gvm-installer)
<logout><login>      (to take change in .bashrc in effect)
gvm install go1.4
gvm use go1.4 --default

Everyone on windows having problems give this zip a try.

It comes with 64 bit version of gexp and bat files that make the process smooth as possible.

Report back please.

Yeees...now connected and working.

hello help me please?

Download this from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6-zgS8gYXFaRmtfeEpLZTFqZzA/view?usp=sharing
 and then

Step-1 new account (passwords are invisible, enter password, hit enter, enter password again, hit enter)
Step-2 genesis (just click that) but u have to edit the file and replace geth with gexp then u close it with CTRL+C
Step-3 Start Expanse
Step-4 gpu_mining_solo

ok thank you very much and it seems that this undermining and how I see my balance as is transferred thanks

[ocminer]

Pool is ready for pre-reg:

https://exp.suprnova.cc

I'll launch the pool approx 6-8 hours after coin launch, so there is plenty of time for you guys to solo and get the rigs etc. running

Awesome! I will switch to the pool after some hours or days of solo mining.

Much more interesting then the other scam eth fork coin out some weeks ago with big premine.

And there is also a legit dev here.

Pity this premine is 44x larger than Shifts.

Couple of noob issues for Win 64:

Step 1 new account - OK
Step 2 - OK I guess
Step 3 - I get "Fatal: blockchain db err: The process cannot access the file..."
Step 4 -
