[MobGod]

Ok looks like its on the git, anyone able to compile it for windows too?

what do you mean on the git want me to try this again i didn't have a problem with the compile i had the problem with the chain getting stuck

I've fixed that

stuck again

./Noirbitsd getinfo
{
    "version" : 2020300,
    "protocolversion" : 60002,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 29069,
    "connections" : 1,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 1.48791009,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1376244053,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "mininput" : 0.00010000,

Did you manage to sync in the end ?

Yes I had to delete the chain again plus use a different node "techbytes"

Client 2.2.2 seem to sync quite well for me.

It shouldn't if you delete the full blockchain. Version 2.2.3.0 is mandatory, otherwise we're headed for some new forks.

What happened is that I introduced a bug in the difficulty algorithm branching based on height, which had the following consequences :

=> Blockchain was mined using old rules from height 0 to 25019.
=> Starting at height 25020, mining was done with new nules.
=> Starting at height 32128, mining resumed with old rules.

Version 2.2.3.0 fixes that by forking to the new rules at height 36000, which should give us a few days to have everyone upgraded.

If you manage to sync past block 25019 after deleting the full blockchain with v. 2.2.2.0, you are most likely running on a fork.

So, were do we find 2.2.3.0?
First post and website seem to link to everything but the new client . Or I missed something?

[stbgefltc]

Can someone post 2.2.3.0 to mega, it's only got 2.2.2.0..

When I get home from work I will, unless someone's willing to compile for Windows until then. I don't have a mingw stack at work, so it'll have to wait, sorry

Now that most of our problems seem to be behind us, we should try to get back on Cryptsy in the next few days!

[stbgefltc]

There you go, latest version for Windows available !

Here's the link : https://mega.co.nz/#!cw0GABrD!bHxg5Qr5IZp9jGJSEMv6YjXBzqVVFyz0auDNjUnKaVk (also available in first post)

Tested it just now, works

I did have to delete the blockchain first.

a temporary fix, would be to limit the client to a few, only the good nodes until an update that completely cuts them off is pushed.

The issue has nothing to do with a rogue node. Even when syncing with known, proper nodes, the issue arises.

if you are certain. good luck on your competition, would be nice if this was run on testnet using cpu's for interested people. That way it can be used to test out new ideas and updates with a lot of peers involved before it goes mainstream.

Isn't that the whole idea of testnet ? 

i mean having a permanent running testnet.

permanent running testnet? wtf are you talking about? testnet is always running! damn

Wohoo, my client works.

[jasinlee]

Working excellent for me too.

If anyone wants to sell NRB contact me, paying 0.000005BTC Per NRB. You will need to get the new NRB client from the OP before you can send them to me.

[kalgecin]

cool i can buy 5K? i'll pm you :-)

[John122]

Tweeted to BigVern, he's verifying the new code so we can go back on Cryptsy!

EDIT: Looks like we're posting horribly low offers for NRB, so I double jasinlee's offer (0.00001 BTC/NRB)!!

Ok I double it to 0.00002 BTC/NRB Buying them all right here just PM me.

Not selling :p But you ought to setup a Google doc spreadsheet art least, would make it easier to track supply & demand...

[kalgecin]

New update to the wallet:

new rpc calls:

• addnode <ip>
• getprofitestimate [hashrate]

Thanks for the work ! I updated the OP with the new version.

[jasinlee]

NICE No more digging in the appdata file to add the nodes
