Is the source on github the latest?  It won't sync for me.

yes, but you can also download
https://mega.co.nz/#!TdoD2YTT!yoNS6ZUk97hgX4JDqtXWh8botoOzIFKkSVXonHkM8XE
which I have tested & works.
Currently on block 9463

Also just reconfirmed, both pools are on right fork as well.

No issues with sync, able to sync in a min from fresh.

Make sure you are using 9.1.6

[v.coinz]

getblockhash 9458
000000013926a2a80623cdac4780339d6001cb4de0f90f5b71c5c86ad1106e0c

you can also compare to any block hash on this pool as well.

...if you are ever in doubt.

No issues here either, since I upgraded to 9.1.6 version last week.

zakorus/reflector what are you using?

[apple_talk]

restart using...

Code:

./virtualcoind -reindex -server

wait 5 mins, then find out the last block you are at then

type

Code:

./virtualcoind getblockhash 12345

12345 is block #.

Post your result here.

Nice to see an increase in the difficulty over the last day or so.

However, we certainly need to find ways to promote VirtualCoin to more of the community.

Any suggestions? Should we pool some VC for a bounty to get a better website?

how are you supposed to sync this thing without addnodes? mine your own chain on localhost??? blockchain download file is not helping too btw. I'm on windows.

can't agree more

Dev, since this coin is 0 Premine, we all need to support it as a group.
Please setup donation VC address for bounty & a Bitcoin address for development like android, MAC & ATM support.

What you guys think, I know Android & ATM developers require payment in BTC, it will help all of our investments. Good to see Virtual Coin now listed on Download.com, the last time I check only 3-4 coins ever was listed by them, so expect a major thrust from general public joining VC in coming days.

no need to add nodes, it is now managed by DNS seeds.

Type in following on your Windows PC.
nslookup dnsseed.vcoin.ca

Code:

Server:  XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Address:  XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    dnsseed.vcoin.ca
Addresses:  128.73.135.41
          75.135.131.236
          108.0.22.51
          50.98.74.86
          178.249.125.94
          101.165.57.194
          70.29.200.171
          121.12.168.68

if you do not get this, then you have DNS issues on your PC.

2nd, make sure firewall is not blocking ports.

search for "Windows firewall with advance..." in Windows 7/Vista type this in Start -> start search

close VirtualCoin, then delete all rules in In & Out listed for VirtualCoin.

Run again VirtualCoin & check both boxes for firewall warning.

I don't know how Your dnsseed works, but it's trying to connect to different IP adresses. I have direct access to internet (no router) an I use Windows 7 64bit



EDIT: Added those IP addresses from CMD to conf file manually and it synced in couple minutes. I think it would be good to add those addresses as nodes in OP as it took a lot more effort to get this running as it should...

Code:

22:52:09 getmininginfo


22:52:09 
{
"blocks" : 9577,
"currentblocksize" : 0,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 5.48964533,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : 2,
"hashespersec" : 0,
"networkhashps" : 76277439,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"testnet" : false
}

}

Also you can try this, delete peers.dat file & it gets fresh valid nodes.

The reason you do not want to add seeds manually to prevent forking. Only valid & working nodes are updated in DNSSEEDS. Leaving these in conf file is a bad idea if any seed  moves to wrong blockchain and most IPs are dynamic they keep changing. Unless you keep up with updating it, DNS Seed does it for your automatically.

Ehm, shit, I think I'm mining on a fork...

So for us using windows to be able to download the wallet we have to first install a downloader? come the fuck on.

No need to download that crap.
Go to the download site http://download.cnet.com/VirtualCoin-Wallet/3000-2057_4-76128666.html?part=dl-&subj=dl&tag=button

click on "Direct Download Link", no downloader needed.

Wallet won't let me mine from it WTH? My DNS is working I'm not disabling firewall rules to mine though I even tried a different port.

you cannot mine until your wallet is sync.

Try this
start virtualcoin
then Help-> Debug Window-> Console

Code:

addnode 178.249.125.94 add

Wait 2-10 mins.

Once sync, use your miner to solo mine.

Can the community put together a bounty for a website?

I really think this coin has potential but it needs some infrastructure.

I'd be willing to donate some VC towards that.
