45 more blocks and we're POS. It should work right away with new wallet?

[eddy937]

Everyone, be prepared to solo mine OC if pools don't stay up after block 10000, just in case transition isn't smooth. This is to secure blockchain if something goes wrong, and will protect our investments.

Not saying there's an issue, preventative measures if anything.

Could you give the commands needed for solo mining from a wallet?

It's something like setgenerate true isn't it?

The OC pools need to stay up after the last PoW block is complete because of the 350 confirmations needed.

yes that's for cpu mining in console.

for cgminer, you need to create a .conf file in the oc folder in Roaming folder.

start -> search -> type %appdata% -> Roaming folder -> Orangecoin -> create Orangecoin.txt

now open and copy:

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1
port=18872
rpcport=18873
addnode=54.83.44.74
addnode=209.159.150.74

save file, rename to Orangecoin.conf, click yes to little dialog box.

Change you cgminer settings to:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o 127.0.0.1:18873 -u
username  -p password  (then the rest of your settings here)

you must have OC wallet open, I've always started as a server using a orangecoin.bat file containing:
orangecoin-qt.exe -server
EDIT: This is not necessary if you include server=1 in the .conf.

pools can stay up to get confirms, but don't need to be hashing. But it helps if they do.

< 30 blocks guys

Very nice.  I'm liking the price movement.  Don't forget to stop mining at block 10,000! Pools will let you hash away at nothing for days.  I saw over 40 GH/s mining nothing for hours on YC.

Having server=1 in the conf file is all you need.  The -server is redundant.

It's not for nothing. It secures the blockchain while PoS get going. And besides, who knows if there is a hidden reward like WC had. woot 10WC per block. big deal, right? it is if you are getting them all, 9600/day....

Didn't know that. Thanks! For info purposes: Doesn't conflict by having both, having been doing this any time I solo. Have edited post above.

Yes. If the network doesn't go POS block crazy it's just waiting for the network weight. The transition wont be instant but it will happen.

I will be around in a couple of hours to see how the network is going and see if any corrections are needed.

Thank you, OC.

+1 indeed great work, while all the other coins where being hit by the multipools and asic miners causing all sorts of forks and chaos, OC just kept humming along

well done good sir

[Specialkey]

4 Blocks Then POS starts Join in OC 

[shimlbit]

[Halofire]

stucks at 9998??or is it a loooooong block^^

some can take up to 10 minutes sometimes, especially if everyone's moving coins, adding to the block multiple transaction confirms

[MCOnyx]
