[GLC] Globalcoin | 4 Year Anniversary 1.5.4! | NO IPO, NO PREMINE | [SCRYPT]

The wallet stays on Out of synch for days, even though it has 6 active connections. I updated to the latest client, used the latest nodes, tried to rescan the blockchain, deleted peers.dat. To sum it up, I did everything.

How can I get my wallet to synch?

By the way, I used those nodes:

addnode=162.243.239.107
addnode=162.243.106.159
addnode=162.243.104.134
addnode=162.243.231.130

Wallets are out of sync as a block has not been found for several hours due to the high difficulty and low network hashrate. The client expects blocks to be found closer to the 40 second target and therefore thinks it's out of sync when situations like this occur

Current block: 179,828
Time since last block: 15h 10m 25s

Once a block is found your wallet should show as synced (until a block is hours behind target again anyway).

Perhaps the hard fork could come in a little earlier?

Thanks. I will wait.

Once I know most/all services etc have the new client we will be hiring a few high Hasher's to drive us up to the fork.

Good things come  to those who wait and haz plans

Yo,

Lets start a fund to pay the Hasher.

Found a dude named Shacky who has 75 mh/s.

He makes about $571 a day by mining LTC.  We will have to pay him a bit more than that for 24 hours.  I figure that we can get to 122 blocks in that period with his hash only.

I will throw .15 BTC at this and point my 3 Mh/s for that 24 hours.


Who else is willing to throw in?

Roadtrain is clearly the man.

This might be the only way.  Good idea in my opinion.  I will add my 6Mh/s if we are going to rock this.  I just don't know how many other people will mine for nearly free.

[orco#2]

It is just a day to get there.

If we get 10 miners to throw in .05 and there hash for a day, we can get this done in 24 hours.

This is still about a week off as we have to get everyone updated.

Currently the changes are being implemented and checked on testnet. Globalcoin will be adopting a difficulty retarget every block using an algorithm insipired by Peercoin. Big thanks to the developer RoadTrain who was behind the CHNCoin difficulty adjustment patch and now working on Globalcoin.

You can see the latest public work to the hard fork on github. There's more work that hasn't been published to github yet as well

Main Source:
https://github.com/CryptoParts/GlobalCoin

Fork with difficulty adjustment testnet:
https://github.com/RoadTrain/GlobalCoin

When the updates have been completed we'll get an update to the main source and developers will obviously post that here. Should be soon!

p.s In my opinion difficulty retarget every block is great, it's now used by many of the latest coins and on a good majority of the top coins. Some mentionable coins that retarget every block are: Peercoin, Primecoin, Megacoin, Novacoin, CHNCoin and Lottocoin.

http://globalcoin.miners-pool.eu is up to date, thanks!

Shacky wants 1 BTC for 24 hours of work.  Very expensive.  Anyone have better idea?

[ckoeber]

Reloaded my pool at http://globalcoin.chriskoeber.com for folks who want to mine.

0% Fees; Prop Payouts; Stratum+VARDIFF mining.

[RoadTrain]

Well, we can move the hard-fork block closer if we really need to.
Or any holders with mining equipment start to mine GLC to shild their investment.
After the fork goes into effect, there will be enough coins to mine at low diff to recoup costs or even profit.

Hi I was mining on http://globalcoin.miners-pool.eu/ but stopped a few days ago because I still have no Unconfirms.

Is there something wrong with that server ?

Well the pool hasn't had a block for 5 days already. Unconfirmed rewards are shown only after pool finds a block.

After I posted I read back a few pages and see the issue that's happening with the finding of the next block..

Thanks for the reply.

As someone stated its mining for free... I think I'll mine else where.. Mite be a dead duck for now..

Anyone down for the Hash Buy.

Do we have any big holders with btc to pay the cost?  I will throw in .25 btc, but we have to come up with .75 more to get the 75 mh/s for a day.  That plus a of us get us there in a day

I see more sense in just updating the hard fork to occur sooner. Change to 10 blocks, let cryptsy know by twitter, email and pming their mods on here surely it would be updated before any huge hashrate increase. Even if we got to the new re-target before crypsty, their old wallet would error out on any transfers and their system would take it offline automatically for investigation no? Post a big message on main post not to transfer coins until cryptsy has updated. There's no issue with pool operators updating in a timely manner just the busy exchanges, and no solo miners will be effected because there's only like two of us on the network lol and I'm pretty sure miners would be keeping a close eye on this thread...

edit: if this is done, perhaps update the checkpoints as well, they're a bit behind.

Yep, I think we should go this way.
Btw it would be better to notify cryptsy even before we update the code so they keep an eye on it and update in time.
What I did with CNC was hard-forking the next block, because the network had no hashrate and was really stuck. That's what's happening here with GLC.
I think 1-2 blocks window will be enough.

I will add .1 BTC or 6Mh, whichever helps in the end.  I totally support where your conversation has gone; hardfork in a couple blocks seems reasonable, and I'll be around to mine as soon as the change is ready. Thanks guys for working on this and keeping us posted.
