can you explain the Goldcoin "time lock feature" outlined 2013 already a bit further?
when i solo mine a block i see in debug.log
"Local has found possible valid block... queueing until timestamp is valid"
and the the whole client freezes, no more RPC requests are responded.. until
"Median Time between blocks is: 124 ... ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED "
so is there anything i can do against this? why cant i do "getinfo" etc..
does my pool software NOMP do anything wrong with the timestamps?

or is that the principle behind it:
if there would be a spike in hashrate ( 200% ), there will be 50% orphans ( as they all have to wait 45 seconds )
but how does difficulty then ever change?

I've been looking at my debug.log and see lots of this:

ERROR: CheckBlock() : block timestamp too far in the future
ERROR: ProcessBlock() : CheckBlock FAILED
GetNetworkHashPS(120)
GetTrueNetworkHashPS(120) - modified lookup

returning hashrate 241.250000 MH/s, lookup 15 (time difference = -0.0)

Ok so server time must be out of sync right? Well:

ntpdate pool.ntp.org
26 Nov 10:30:55 ntpdate[8366]: adjust time server 192.189.54.33 offset -0.102237 sec

0.1 seconds out of sync... umm does this time stuff cater for timezone?

The default maximum wait is 45 seconds, but you can extend this if you want to for optimal acceptance rate.

In main.cpp on lines 2094 to 2107

Code:

else if(QDateTime::fromTime_t(pindexBest->pprev->pprev->pprev->pprev->GetBlockTime()).secsTo(QDateTime::fromTime_t(GetBlockTime())) < (60*10 + 45) && hashPrevBlock == pindexBest->GetBlockHash()) {
//A valid block has been found but the current network adjusted time will not permit it to be accepted by other peers
//Thus we hold the block until GetAdjustedTime() is such that if(GetBlockTime() > GetAdjustedTime() + 45) is false
printf("Local has found possible valid block... queueing until timestamp is valid \n");
//Since we know that GetBlockTime() is greater than GetAdjustedTime()
//We sleep the difference
//Doesn't hurt to check twice
                                    if(GetBlockTime() > GetAdjustedTime() + 45)
                                    Sleep(1000*(GetBlockTime()-(GetAdjustedTime() + 45)));
/*while(GetBlockTime() > GetAdjustedTime() + 45) {
//We wait here..
}*/
}

Change (60*10 + 45) to (60*10 + X)

Where X is the maximum amount of time you'd like to hold a block.

And recompile.

July 10th, 2016 Highlights

Team Members Present: Four (Cryptosolar, MicroGuy, CryptoCanary, and Akumaburn)
Length of meeting: 1.45 hours

~~

Please find a brief recap of today's proceedings below:

Issues Related to Mining and Orphans
Our development team is still investigating the issues affecting Goldcoin mining production. We have yet to reach a consensus on how to best respond to the orphan situation. There are several potential ways of handling the matter, ranging from waiting for market capitalization to rise (which will increase network hashrate), to updating the code for improved handling of low-hashrate difficulty adjustments.


GoldClub Progress
A brief overview of Goldclub was presented detailing their plans for increasing adoption and advancing Goldcoin throughout West Africa.


Public Image as it Relates to Miners
There exists the perception that the Goldcoin team does no care about miners. This is not the case. It is the miners that breathe life into the network by processing transactions and advancing the blockchain. We discussed how becoming more sensitive to the needs of miners, while increasing transparency, could help to improve this skewed perception.


Improved Github Software Practices
While Goldcoin is indeed "open source software" there are still areas of improvement to be made regarding Github collaboration, bug checking, and general software publication practices.

~~

[MicroGuy]

It seems as though the orphan problem has improved drastically since last week. I've rented 4 rigs and have been mining at http://inetrader.com:8221/static/ for a few days now and there have been very few orphans (practically none).



I'm not sure about the performance of other pools. I'll point the rigs to some of the other dedicated pools over the next few days and see if the results are the same.

Super excited about the dev of @GoldCoin's latest Android App w/ support for the Nigerian Naira!

DL today's beta: https://github.com/Stouse49/goldcoin-wallet/releases/tag/v4.58.1-beta

[Bitbobb]

I just opened my wallet and got a connection then lost it.  I sent 500 gold coins and it will not confirm since the wallet has no nodes.  Can someone put a miner on this coin?  Or what is going on I usually get nodes no problem.  I can post txid infor if it helps..

The hashrate looks normal: http://gld.cryptocoinexplorer.com/ And my clients all have the maximum number of allowed peers (by default).

How long has your client been open? I suggest giving it a few minutes to connect to more nodes.

[Bitbobb]

Ok Thanks!  I will let it run today and see what happens and check with the explorers and report back tonight.

I could really use some support.  I am trying to help trumpcoin and there is a few more hours left in the vote for temp treasurer at post #856 link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1535436.840
If you are not a newbie go vote I could really use the support!  Thanks  we are trying to make crypto great and I can liaison with lots of other cool coin projects as treas (including gold coin which had proven to be stable).  I hope you will find the time to go support our little project that still has a few hours left to vote!!  Thanks

Here is my transaction info: Status: 0/unconfirmed
Date: 7/18/2016 23:16

My wallet is now fully synced so this should have been fixed by now is my understanding.  I hope I did not loose the 500 Goldcoins!  Please help.  Thanks

I ve voted for U   hope it helps at the beginning i really disliked trump, but actually it feels like choosing the lesser evil now , hopefully he supports Bitcoin/Blockchain ?

have a sunny day

Thanks!  I came in second place!  And my gold coins confirmed finally.  I just checked the wallet said confirmed in both places.  Thanks for the help

Team Members Present: Four (Goldclub, MicroGuy, OneoftheFreds, and Akumaburn)
Length of meeting: 2.75 hours

Please find a brief recap of today's proceedings below:

Team Meeting on Skype
Today we held our weekly team meeting on Skype rather than Discord. Since the Skype platform seems more familiar to our members, we will experiment with hosting our team meetings on Skype for the remainder of July.


Affinity Group Project
Alfred Jordan (aka OneoftheFreds) presented his vision for advancing Goldcoin adoption by empowering 21 million people who are members of an affinity group in the United States. The team discussed the necessity for developing a business strategy that would pave the way for financing a collaborative project of such size and scope. 


New Android App
The latest Android application being developed by Stouse49 and tested by the community should be available on Google Playstore in early August. This week, the beta version was updated to support the NGN exchange rate as pictured below:




Gold Club Project
Gilead Okolonkwo (aka Goldclub) presented his vision for bringing Goldcoin education and adoption to West Africa through its affiliation with Gold Club of Nigeria. This week we will be looking into the possibility of having a physical Goldcoin created to be used as a collectible token.


Decentralized Core
Gilead reminded that as we look at raising money for various projects, it's important that Goldcoin remain independent and decentralized at its core. While like Bitcoin various dependent projects will be organized and built around its core, Goldcoin itself must remain autonomous and independent; its money supply fixed and unmovable.

What is Goldcoin and how does it relate to Bitcoin?

Goldcoin (GLD) is a cryptocurrency built using the original bitcoin protocol. It’s part of the class commonly known today as alternative currencies. It currently holds the top position on both Google and Amazon.

Unhappy with the direction bitcoin core had taken after Nakamoto’s departure, the team at Goldcoin decided that, rather than complain about it, they would tackle the job themselves and complete the original vision.

Satoshi Nakamoto referred to the term ‘gold’ numerous times in his bitcoin whitepaper, and his gold analogy is used frequently in bitcoin articles explaining the protocol. So what better brand could there possibly be for an improved version.

Goldcoin is a top 100 cryptocurrency and is being deployed in West Africa, Ukraine, Canada, Germany, and the United States. Its 51% attack defense and Golden River difficulty algorithm give it the strongest most robust blockchain in cryptocurrency.

Today, bitcoin and Ethereum are common names in the tech world, but the most popular digital commodity of tomorrow will be Goldcoin (GLD). Hoped this has helped to answer your question, and “may all your bitcoin dreams turn to gold!”

Voting for the lesser evil is still voting for evil.

Please take no offense Bitbobb, that is not my intention. I think I have made peace with TrumpCoin devs/supporters and have publicly and privately wished them luck with their project. I am certainly not trying to damage that peace. Also, I would have given you a vote but, the voting had ended by the time I seen this vote request. #notMeUS

CryptoSolar, I am not aware on Mr. Trump's stance or if he has one. I have not seen any public comments myself. hiLlARy recently made a technology statement that had reference to "America's access to blockchain applications", proving she does not comprehend open source or anything #notForSale. #NEVERhiLlARy

Cheers GoldCoin community!

Berniecoin,
     I know each vote has the same weight but your comment to me is a huge compliment.  Thanks.  I would have needed more than one more vote.  It is only for temporary treasurer so I will get another chance later to run and will tell you about it.
    
     now you know why I am here.  I agree that Satoshi's vision needs to be completed.  With access regulated into oblivion how can the liquidity ever increase like it needs to?  Therefor why would acceptance increase?.  As one of the truly unbanked I still must have help and hoops to jump through just to access the crypto world.  This is why I follow and invest in coins like Goldcoin and Trumpcoin.  I invest in them both equally and so far Goldcoin has shown steady increase while Trumpcoin has been up and down with some increase (about the same as goldcoin) since I started buying them both.  As for the tech both have good wallets.  Goldcoin gave me 2 transfer problems so far.  Both worked themselves out and the team is 100% solid at gold coin.  Trumpcoin has never had any transfer problems but their team is having some trouble organizing (hence my post for the vote (please forgive me)) and they just got a really good block explorer yesterday.  And both coins claim to be Satoshi vision supporters.

     I would like Gold coin to know that I have a plan to help both coins.  I would like to own large bags before I mention those plans however.  I hope that is okay?  Untill then keep up the good work and progress!  Thanks for the support everyone!

[Xardas2014]

Something on inetrader pool is screwy. I've had the most hash for the past 4 blocks and got paid almost nothing compared to the miners below me. Found a block while typing this. See for yourself.  http://gld.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block?block=26d680acb9159ce8021ebd764a4dbd3e30e5b3d41056857dafaeca1186bc970b



How does someone with less hash get paid 10 times more than me block after block?

hello GLD community
before buying some gld there is something weird witch confused me bit,l was checking gldbtc price on coinmarket.com and price is 4k but, how come gldbtc on  c-cex is 1400?

Thanks
