OK it is beta release, does this actually mean you'll get new genesis and start over after you've verified your verifies ?
or do you just hope it will takeoff and if it doesnt you can say, hey it was beta.

Can't seem to mine against the daemon...

I don't think it'd be exactly fair to anyone that's been mining it to reset the coin to zero.

Stuck syncing at block 1508, which is right before the checkpoint you added.  Has the blockchain already split into two?

[spoid]

so you're really gonna take that name for a pointless copycat which has nothing more to do with pi than some parameters? aww man.

as it says above "totally pointless". I just built it for the fun of it.

Scrypt or SHA-256?

not that i'm aware of. let me look into it.

You didn't read the question.

Mathematically, it's kind of pointless to calculate digits of pi beyond a certain point.

The description states "crypto-homage to the circle" so digits of pi as parameters made sense. Got a better name for it?
anyway?
beyond that, isn't just about every coin out there a clone



- for the person that asked: it's scrypt.

[dupee419]

anyone still having problems?

Heck yes! I'll have all the frivolous mathy-tributy coins you can give! >> 9yd2ugGLUhmPpgDf22kdryLMREUGUEZns1 (EDIT: oh no, I had a totally wrong address here at first!)

I am though still stuck on block 1508. Here's the exact error:

Code:

I have the same problem, please help me, please send me some coin, my address is: 9ugJa87naPXV5obKV4HpysZqEkQfekLU5D


One more thing, you should modify block 1508 checkpoints which you defined in checkpoints.cpp, just comment this line in checkpoints.cpp:
//(      1509, uint256("0x000000e4fae39746f10875c24334d6441c77d1ead055061cc6ab237ea535af6b"))


I compiled a windows version of PiCoin, Windows QT for PiCoin can be downloaded here:

[dupee419]

i'm going to reupload to github with the new checkpoints file. please update your client.


Thanks for the working windows qt.

I added the windows qt to github a little bit ago and sent you 10PCN for the help
