SolidCoin 1.01 Released

[Fletch]

Just a question, what is the current difficulty of SC? Or how do I check it through the Client? Thanks!

Have the client running. Then run the client executable again, but with the getinfo parameter.

Edit: Correction. "getinfo", not "-getinfo".

The client doesn't work really well for me. Crashes every time on exit, even after downloading the whole chain which solved some issues for my friends.

The wallet does not seem encrypted in any way either even though I enabled encryption.

Client crashes for me as well.

I tried out the Mac client. Usually crashes before even establishing connections, locks up completely if you ask it to generate an address. :/ For the Mac client, though, I may end up trying to assist with debugging and the like if I actually end up with that mythical thing called free time that some of my friends swears is real, even if I haven't found any in years.

Sometimes I have no idea how the hell I actually manage to end up with the amount of stuff to do that I actually end up with to do. :/

You can also view current difficulty at sc.btcguild.com

Can someone explain to me how the encryption works? Does it work if the wallet.dat is stolen from your PC? It seems to ask for password when I sent SC so it "works" but is the wallet.dat actually encrypted when the client is closed? (Because it didn't look like it)

And yes, the client still crashes every time on exit.

No crashes here...

What operating system are you using?

I am using Windows 7 with all latest updates and protection running in the background. Everything works perfect except for the crashing when I try to close.

Perhaps you could ring the helpdesk?

Ahh they have an IRC. I will just wait for the next release, hopefully it will have that little bug fixed. It only does it when I'm trying to close anyways so it's not a big deal. Other than that the program looks solid, and I take back my statement about this being a scam. I don't know what the future holds for SC, and at the moment it seems like a bullish investment, but remember Bitcoins are 100% guaranteed for many different reasons. These coins are still untested and highly speculative, however with that being said credit must be given where credit is due. They have created a good bi-product, with the single most important element being faster difficulty adjustments. This improvement alone could change the game as we know it...

Sure. IMO these alternative currencies value is centred around the value of Bitcoin. So if Bitcoin had zero value so would these currencies. The advantage SC (and soon ixcoin) have over Bitcoin however is speed.

This is fixed in next version. Will be out within the hour.

    first commit

from git://github.com/realsolid/solidcoin.git and looks like it compiles just fine in my laptop (Ubuntu)

I started out by

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libssl-dev libdb4.7-dev libdb4.7++-dev sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

I downloaded the wxWidgets (wxWidgets-2.9.2.tar.bz2) and compiled it manually (see the updated solidcoin/doc/build-unix.txt)

I also had to install the miniupnpc_1.5 manually (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/miniupnpc_1.5.orig.tar.gz) (see the updated solidcoin/doc/build-unix.txt)

This fork seemed rather interesting until I decided to try it and promptly hit that issue.

Correct me if I'm wrong but bitcoin uses wxwidgets-2.9 as well.

....
Which happens to be something that would waste most of a day if I have to go track down that many version dependencies to build the absolute latest version of wxWidgets.

To say nothing of the potential conflict annoyances I get with how many of the distribution packages then need to be overridden.

If he's going to make the package extremely time-consuming and difficult to self-compile on a very commonly used distribution, he shouldn't be refusing to give binaries for it...

wolftaur, it only takes minutes and not most of the day

"../obj/nogui/gui"? I must be doing something wrong... I think I'll move files around and mangle the makefile.

[dserrano5]

Ah, seems there's an error in the makefile, this fixes it:

I forgot to mention that it misses a folder and subfolder obj/nogui in you src/

Hopefully this gets fixed in git

No, it's not in src because it says "..".

[film2240]
