The same here.... An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later

Thank you for reporting it. We're investigating. We'll know what's going on soon.

27% USA looks pretty huge.

Any graph (that I've seen in ~3 years) involving cryptocurrency is weighted heavily in USA participants. So, this seems reasonable.

Until now i've seen mostly China and Russia in the front.

There are many people in brazil and probably also in other countries that use VPN with US IPs to access some music and movies services that don't work in other country

Because of the now successful airdrop with a lot of participations?

How will it go further, when will hit decred the exchanges?

Would be very interesting investment opportunity. Looking forward to the start and want to buy some!

It should definitely be taken as a very crude measurement. As we know, an IP address isn't the most reliable representation, but it's an interesting picture nonetheless - that's why it was included.

Miner source code has been released. Signed binaries for convenience are coming today for that as well. And testnet should go live today. There will be signed binaries for that too. Then depending on what happens after testnet is live, mainnet gets turned on in a week - as stated earlier, just repeating it here for visibility.

Thanks. See here. Looking into it right now. Depending on the problem, we'll put in more failover mechanisms as well. Will have more information soon - sorry.

Excellent many thanks for the feedback. I think I will try to deal with the testnet to get a certain feeling for decred. Well organized, up from the very beginning. Like it!

It seems that the forum is working properly again without problems. Thanks Devs for your effort.

In the following link it can be seen as the page counter is duplicated. Tested in Chrome and Opera.

You're welcome! Do keep in mind that testnet will be a technical venture. The web wallet will be available at the launch of mainnet and that should be more user-friendly than the command-line. However, a native wallet GUI is a big priority. Paymetheus is already free and open-source, which is a native Bitcoin wallet GUI written in C#. It'd be great to see a few UX designers take interest so any future Decred GUI will have polish.

Feel free to build and benchmark Decred's cgminer fork. Could use some data on hardware performance. Testnet and miner binaries will be out tomorrow morning!

I reviewed the changes. Can you/dev explain why was this changed?

from

uint32_t tmp_hash7, Htarg = le32toh(((const uint32_t *)ptarget)[7]);

to

uint32_t tmp_hash7, Htarg = le32toh(((const uint32_t *)ptarget)[29]);

I read the spec and hash still 32 bytes (=8 integer) long, so the target last integer index is still 7.

Thanks for this. Would it be possible to open an issue directly for the repo, so it can be investigated through the proper channel? That will mean it absolutely gets technical insight and response.

It's a bit hard, if the issue feature is disabled in github....

Oops, that would help! Sorry. It's turned on now: https://github.com/decred/cgminer/issues

When does mining start? Will it be easy to mine it with a laptop on launch?

You will be able to mine on testnet either today or tomorrow. It is recommended you mine with a dedicated GPU - you won't get much mileage with a laptop (even if you're referring to the laptop's GPU).

were there any rental rig that i could rent any one know ? and if so will it work for this coin ?
the algo is blake256 and does it need any modify ?

Oh nice! Finally we can see movement and get a step closer to the launch! Even better that there is a chance that the launch is only a week away, seems i need to start getting some BTC ready for the buys because i am certain there will be a lot of dumps from airdrop participants in the beginning.
Going to have a look at the data provided, good time to learn how this thing really works

If there will be any rentals only if somebody sets up rigs especially  for decred as decred needs dedicated blake256 miner
