How can I make rpc calls on Windows XP? I want to know how many coins are there already minted. Thanks.

Help => Debug window => RPC Console.

0.3.3 Client is stuck on a block and says update, but the latest version doesn't work for me. Do you need 0.3.5 before 0.4? Is so, please enable a download for it, I can't get 0.4 to work.

[Balthazar]

What's problem with 0.4?

Please remember that you need remove the blk*.dat files from client data directory after upgrading from 0.3.4 and older to 0.3.5 and never versions. Otherwise you will get exceptions while starting up.

PoW diff: 133.068
PoS diff: 0.028

I think that's strange question.

That fixed the issue. Thanks!

Posting to follow (and wonder why there isn't more talk about the only PoS + scrypt coin).

Some spoilers about 0.4.1, which is coming soon.

• Broadcasted checkpointing ignore option added;
• Updated emission model implemented. *

*It will neutralize benefit of early adopters, and will make system even more stable against dump attempts.

More info will be available later.

"Scam" screamers are annoying sometimes... Maybe we should make idiots list, which will be placed into idiots.txt file? It's a joke, of course, but every joke contains some truth...

0.4.1 built successfully, running it on testnet for 2 days without any problem. I think that it will be published tomorrow.

How do I get that from the blockexplorer?

I'll make a patch for explorer soon. But I think that it's better to get data from local source, i.e. install all daemons locally and use RPC protocol. It will make your resource more reliable.
