* Subsidy halving twice: first time after block 131072 and again
  after block 262144, stabilizing at 443 coins per block

This suggests there will never be less than 443 coins in a block?

* Approx. 696.3 million coins in total

So how is there a predicted total?

What is the port to solo mine on this?

[loveys]

client crash,so crazy

[sacskate]

Can't you use any rpcport= you want as long as it matches the .conf? Do you need port= in the .conf at all? If I understand correctly the rpcport is between your mining software and the client. The port is used to communicate with the network, but doesn't the mining software get the network info from the client anyways?

[Solcoin Project]

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?

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.

Has anyone that gets the runtime error found any blocks? Every time the client gets any rpc call from cgminer or bfgminer the client crashes. So I'm willing to bet even when it does run you are not actually submitting anything, just getting network info and hashing.

How to setting the cgminer?
"Runtime Error"

not much love for the sun , life is unfair 

[backbonejb]

Much crashing, no success

[gargouri2001]

crashing here too

[howardb]

Windows client not available, you have reached your daily traffic allowance! (poor planning)

[gargouri2001]

high diff ("difficulty" : 1.13088870,) already and crashing client , another fail

[wwtree]

maybe dead.

[OrkneyCoiner]

hey.. mining works since the beginning.

[Solcoin Project]

maybe dead.

Not dead. Nodes are up, blockchain works, mining works. Difficulty is at 1.13, and users have mined 296 blocks in total since the launch. We're not abandoning this.

We're busy trying to wrangle with Qt4.8 to make a stable Windows wallet. It has proven harder than expected to get it to compile and run using MinGW, while the Qt5.2 wallet compiles with no problem but is for unknown reasons unstable for some users. As soon as the new Windows wallet is done we'll make it available together with an update.

[Solcoin Project]

Windows Qt wallet has been updated. Give it a try.

[thisisnotmyltcusername]

nice, should bring more popularity. keeping my ubuntu though

Now I can´t even open the wallet with this new update!!!!

It says " The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

Newer versions of Qt are a bit finicky with older versions of Windows. What version of Windows are you running? We have succesfully used the new wallet on two Windows 7/64 installations and one Vista/64 installation.

If you have no coins in your wallet, then try to simply delete the entire Solcoin dir from %APPDATA%, and then restart the new client. If you have any coins in your wallet then use the old client to export the private key for the wallet and save it somewhere for later. Then, backup your wallet file to the desktop, just in case, and then remove the entire Solcoin directory from %APPDATA%. Start the new client, let it download the blockchain, and then import the wallet's private key.
