Yay, just solo mined my first block! (2.5 MHash)
But the reward is still only 5. You said you updated reward code.
I want the reward to stay at 5 but what code did you update?
Thanks

REWARD AMOUNT DOUBLE FOR SHORT TERM

To help out everyone because of this duplicate blockchain issue, Reward amount has been doubled from 3000 block to 40000 block.
Now maximum: 50 coins per block

Code:

if(nHeight >= 3000 && nHeight < 40000) 
{
                nSubsidy = (2222222.0 / (pow((dDiff+2600.0)/9.0,2.0)));
                if (nSubsidy > 25) nSubsidy = 50; // increase from 25 to 50 per block
                if (nSubsidy < 5) nSubsidy = 10; // increase from 5 to 10 per block
} 

if(nHeight >= 40000) 
{
                nSubsidy = (2222222.0 / (pow((dDiff+2600.0)/9.0,2.0)));
                if (nSubsidy > 25) nSubsidy = 20; // increase from 25 to 50 per block
                if (nSubsidy < 5) nSubsidy = 5; // increase from 5 to 10 per block

So once it reaches 40000, reward amount will return back to normal.

Reward amount changes after 3000. (likely in next few hours)

[v.coinz]

New code has been tested, it is stable.

1) Backup your wallet.dat file
2) delete "virtualcoin" folder in roaming
3) delete old exe file.

4) Run new exe file, wait for it to fully sync.
5) close it.
6) copy back the wallet.dat file to "virtualcoin" folder in roaming.
7) Launch exe file.

Not getting network connections :-/
Back to using the conf file and add nodes? If so, can you please update the thread with new info?

Good job

Allow some time, as their looks like over 700 clients are trying to connect & sync at same time.

Short term? 3000 - 40000 is a lot of blocks (37000)
and if we aren't even on 3000 yet, it will take a long time.
Right?

If you were replying to my question, I meant that the reward is doubled for 37000 blocks which will take more than 5 days. (not a short time)

Looking at roughly month time. Since so many are mining, the amount distributed by pools have been small, it will encourage new users to join Virtual Coin & take advantage of this promotion.

Ah, good idea!

anybody else getting stuck on block 1611 with the new source?

Not me.

Did you go into your roaming file and delete everything but your wallet.dat and conf file?  It will sync after you do.  You should probably do a backup just in case.

This is from the new source code on linux.

[trademark]

Are there any working pools at the moment?  Also, did I lose all my coins that I withdrew from talesofthescrypt?  I withdrew around 73 VC's. 

[ning_aric]

lets buy more coins

[bitcoinrulzz]

Same, I also did not had any issue with new update version.

I copy wallet.dat to "My Documents" then deleted virtualcoin folder.
I deleted OLD qt-virtualcoin.exe file.
Downloaded new file.
run the new file.
then close it after 15 secs.
Created new file virtualcoin.conf in "virtualcoin" folder with following text...

Code:

testnet=0
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=vcoinrpc
rpcpassword=YOUR.OWN.RANDOM.PASSWORD
gen=1
genproclimit=2
maxconnections=100
rcpallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=20950
port=2095

save the file.

Launch new qt-virtualcoin.exe again.

wait 1-5 mins for it to connect & sync.
Now close it again.
copy back your wallet.dat file into "virtualcoin" folder.
Start & enjoy.

I think once all pools move to new version, you will either see coins in Pool website or in your wallet.

No coins were lost before block 1611, so you should get some coins, if pool used right blockchain, then you will see all of your coins.

I would wait for them to switch to new version.
Take a screenshot in case pool OP mess up during upgrade.

Talesfromthescrypt is trying to install the new client, but having no luck getting it to sync.

Hi everyone, here is one of the other way I test also works.

Download Blockchain files(Linux, Windows etc... all)


It has a blockchain up to 2500.

All you have to do it replace included files in your virtualcoin folder.

and re-run the linux file or windows. It does not change your wallet file. But again, good idea to make a backup of it before doing it.

Let me know if that helps.
