OK so at this point we have 2 chains going, if you have a block height higher than the block explorer be.jimcoin.net you need to delete your blockchain and sync from scratch.  On windows close your wallet and search %appdata% in your search bar and delete blockindexes.dat and blocks.dat from the JimCoin folder then open wallet again.  On linux, close your wallet and navigate to the .JimCoin folder in your root directory and delete blockchainindices.dat  blockscache.dat blockindexes.dat       and blocks.dat then re-start wallet.  Once done we should all be on the same chain matching the block explorer.

wallet sync again, keep on mining.

I try to delete blockindexes.dat and blocks.dat.
But my wallet coin amount is not correct.
The pool.jimcoin.net display more than my wallet.
I don't know what happened

Stats on the pool are a little messed up right now and a lot of orphaned blocks need to be re-mined since the pool was mining on the wrong fork for a while.  As long as your wallet syncs to the same block height the block explorer you are on the right chain.

Alright Jims,

I think we need to take the pool offline for a while and get some solo mining going.  I thought it would be really nice for people to just download a wallet and start getting Jim payouts the click of a button but this is the 4th time having so much hashrate concentrated in on one node has caused a fork and its getting more and more difficult to fix as the blockchain grows.  I will do my best to find the time to write some step by step guides for various methods of solo mining to help the new Jims out but for the time being google is your friend.  The PoW is cryptonight so get to searching and i'm sure you will figure it out.  I will bring the pool back up when I have the time/money to set up another one to spread the hashes out, when the network hashrate has grown to the point that it wont dominate the network or when someone else can get a functional pool up to compete with it.  Apologies to the pool participants but this is whats best for all Jims.  In the meantime I urge every solo mining Jim to re-sync your blockchain so we are all on the same chain moving forward.

edit: I'm working on getting pool payouts to send but this last fork really muddied things up.  Regardless, all mined Jims will get to their rightful owners.
edit2: It will likely take a while for the blockchain to start moving at a normal pace again since the network lost so much hashrate when I turned the pool off.  This is normal and the difficulty will adjust soon enough to match the network hashrate.

thank you, i will solo

Is anybody still mining with CPU? 2 days no reward....

Are you mining with your wallet?
As pools is down so no reward, we need to solo.

Btw, just wondering how to solo here...

[jiang2897]

Can't the mining be?

[JimCEO]

For solo mining on Windows download the CLI wallet in the announcement post on page 1 and run jimcoind.exe (your wallet must be closed to run the CLI daemon but copy your receiving address first) and once the daemon is synced with the network issue the command,

Code:

start_mining YourReceiveAddress NumberOfCPUThreadsToUse

It should display that the miner has started on each thread and if you want to see your hashrate use

Code:

show_hr

On linux the commands are the same except for starting the daemon which is done with the command ./jimcoind from within the directory that jimcoind is in.

Happy to donate a server possibly for a jimcoin pool if you wish, Jim? PM me.

[Jamesc81]

  Solomining at the mo but can put my rig on a pool when one is available.
Also I'm having trouble pasting in my address into block explorer, it just shows blank. I'm using firefox.

[Jamesc81]

Whoa network hash rate is 2.6KH/s has everybody abandoned ship?

[welhzh]

I am here, I will never give up jims

Hey JimCoin, when you split like bitcoin, are we going to have TimsCoin, and JamsCoin？ =P

hey Jim,

How do i solo mine with gpu?

[Cryptobel-NL]

Is Jimcoin done?

[welhzh]

jim, please dont let this coin down.

[JimCEO]

Is Jimcoin done?

Absolutely not.

At the moment the only way to solo gpu mine is to set up your own pool and point an existing GPU miner at it.  There may be an alternative in the future.
