Second node is up. You can add it manually with "addnode=162.243.246.38", and it's also in the DNS seed rotation so it should happen automatically when connecting again to the network.
What is the port to solo mine on this?
Port 24360, but for mining you can use any other port you may want by just setting it with 'rpcport=...' in your solcoin.conf.
This suggests there will never be less than 443 coins in a block?
So how is there a predicted total?
Correct, there will never be less than 443 coins per block. BTC/LTC/etc. have a maximum coin minting limit which you cannot pass, no matter how you subsidize block rewards through mining.
Thanks, except that doesn't help the rest of us...looks like it works for some people, but without a pool, or a fully working client, the people that are successfully mining (don't know how) are basically pre-mining at this point, so that when a working wallet comes out, diff will already be up.
No, the blockchain will not fork just because we build the wallet software with a different version of Qt - they are not connected in any way. Everything about the currency and the network stays the same, but the new wallet won't crash for the people experiencing problems right now.
