Bah, what a mess.   Withdrawn from scex a while ago but the stupid client is stuck on block 28397 (and block explorer says we're up to 28480).

Great success!

[BCEmporium]

Still re-downloading the blockchain here... lets see where it will hang, 25K blocks so far.

SolidCoin 1.04 Released [Hardened Edition]

Where "Hardened Edition" means; it "hardly works". 

[eleuthria]

We're actually on block 29333.  The block explorer for SC is broken due to the new releases of solidcoind.

I had a hard time syncing up my client too and I think that's what the bugfix corrected. The db for the 24k or so blocks I had was over a GB of data.
I got the new client and I'm under 100mb now.

Tldr. Blocks are huge and take a while to download. I kept mine running over night (40mbs download speed)

[wolftaur]

Uh, the vulnerability is due to your fixed transaction cost that you changed in your fork of Bitcoin. It's not in the original Bitcoin code. The original Bitcoin code had variable transaction fees which would cause a similar attack on Bitcoin to cost about 80 BTC in fees.

No that was fixed in 1.03 so you're referring to something different I've fixed here in 1.04. I won't mention it publicly because it may open an attack on Bitcoin.

You mean the fact that 1.03 couldn't handle actual transactions and the exchanges had to disable deposit and withdraw because your fix for ArtForz's disclosed vulnerability was stupid.

Also, convincing people to sell all their SolidCoin and buy Bitcoins isn't an attack on Bitcoin.

Don't forget the new license text:

Lol wtf. Funniest way of committing suicide I've seen yet.

[BCEmporium]

Stuck again, after redownload the whole thing, now stopped at 28354... at least is one more block than before.

[JohnDoe]

You seriously took the time to make that photoshop huh?

Got to do something while waiting...

[gw4tt]

just use the old version works fine. (The one before 1.03)

[julz]

Just toss the SaladCoin.  It tastes of ass and the mayonnaise is a lie.

[MajorMiner]

Um, its dead... My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. Right before he passed out he said that Solidcoin was dead. I guess it's pretty serious.

I just did a solidcoin.exe -rescan but I'm still seeing block 28414.  How do I re-download the entire block chain?

Edit: I just tried withdrawing 1 coin to my wallet and so far nothing is happening.

Exit the client. Move the wallet file (and the solidcoin.conf if you have one) to another directory, then delete all files in the directory. Put wallet.dat and solidcoin.conf back in, and run the client again.

It will start from zero, expect this to take a very long time.

Blockchain finished to redownload, transaction from bitparking is OK and confirmed.
Current block: 29362

This is not correct. Bitcoin is under the MIT/X11 license which allows people to restrict or close it up as they like. Also, even if Bitcoin was GPL'd and they tried to pull this, their

Technically SolidCoin is violating the bitcoin license due to the removal of the COPYING file in the source distribution which has this text:

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in
all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

Not to mention the global replacement of the copyright notice of the bitcoin developers in all the source files to be 'solidcoin developers'.

I guess we'll soon find out how well SolidCoin's adjustment mechanisms work at difficulty 1 anyway, so it's kinda a moot point.

[Bobnova]

I'll be highly amused if it's an integer and a multiplier, it'll end up stuck at difficulty 1 for the rest of time, 1 * 0.1 = 1 in integer land, after all.






On a largely unrelated note, I haven't heard any SC/RC conspiracy theories yet, so I'm going to start one:

CoinHunter intentionally crashed his currency so he could carefully buy >100,000 coins at dirt cheap prices, then publicly step away from soldcoin or (and?) re-open it so the coins have value again.


Almost seems more likely than someone being that stupid.

You're new to the internet, huh.
