Woot! got my first ELC with 1200kh >>   lol 39 connections and 10 nodes added to .conf file.  FML

It still could become orphaned

FML!

how will I know # of orphans in "getinfo?"  I take it, it will just disappear?

Use listtransactions to see your orphans.

Thank you, it looks like it took!  "generate" 371 confirms, and a crap load of orphans LOL.  Oh well, it's doing what it's suppose to, this prevents high early premining until more hashing power brings up the block value.

If i type elacoind.exe listtransactions i get 0 :O

No idea but your upload works great... thx !

see : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=204910.msg2141969#msg2141969

Please note there seems to be 2 distinct blockchains out there. I was mining blocks in the 5000 block region whilst others were mining blocks in the 7000 block region. I've since recompiled it with the checkpoints that have been added at blocks 2500 and 5000 in the most recent git pushes and I now appear to be on the correct blockchain. I lost the few tiny morsals I'd managed to pick up though.  

I'd suggest downloading again. The link is the same, I've merely updated the file to add these 2 checkpoints to make sure you're definitely mining on the correct blockchain.

It was quite frustrating, as I had about 25% of blocks (~1000 elas) on that chain when I noticed it :-(
I tar-ed my blockchain for memory before I redownloaded :-)

Who in their right mind would let untested software run on a machine with anything on it. The proper way is to run it in a VM and if solo mining connect to that.

http://www.elacoinpool.com yet another Big Vern pool so its quality in general mining successfully as we speak.

its really really hard... hence y we have not seen many new coin releases in the last few months....

I have to say hats off to all the tech savy people who were here 5+months ago that did not just flood the market with these copycoins... certain people should be ashamed of themselves.... you know who u are...

I not saying altcoins are all bad... but come on... do some real dev work like Sunny King has done, or stop releasing other peoples hard work claiming it to be urs

When elacoind.exe closed then it crashed. When elacoind.exe crashed then it destroyed your wallet.dat and your balance is equal to zero. I lost accepted 46 blocks after this.
