tx for following up, this is precisely what I mean   I just gave it a run but still 'out of sync' still minutes later.   Should I add some nodes ? thanks again.

If you are on block 5085 and it says out of sync that is fine - no problem.  Next version will be partly fixing that problem (the GUI was very impatient waiting for a new block and declares that it's out of sync if it doesn't see a new block after an hour, even though it's not out of sync from the rest of the network's blockchain) along with a lot of changes to the code to allow the blocks to be produced regularly without creating more base currency.

The update is ready but since this will produce a hard fork we are trying to coordinate the publish with the exchanges' update so that everyone will be able to withdraw to the correct chain.  A good number of you will have coins staking right away when you update to this version because it reduces a lot of time that coins need to wait to re-stake.  After one more block of PoS the PoW phase 2 will begin and you can mine for network fees only like bitcoin will be eventually, although you won't have to mine because PoS will be running too.  I will also publish a new copy of the blockchain once we see PoW blocks to help with the fork.

[edit: no need to add nodes, we have DNS seeds built-in]

Cheers!

great stuff, thanks for putting in your time on this. so will we be able to continue mining for tx fees after block 6000 is complete? I think that would be a first for a pos coin wouldn't it?

The 1.0.2 code has the second PoW phase ending on block 6000.

The plan is to end at block 6000, the general thought is that without a healthy reward for mining and a decent amount of hashing power on the network there is a chance for a malicious attack on the network that doesn't exist if we eliminate PoW at some point, otherwise, yes it would be great to let it keep going indefinitely.

NEW VERSION RELEASED!!!

https://github.com/techcoinproject/Techcoin/releases/tag/v1.0.2.0

Make sure you KEEP your existing blockchain or download a fresh copy because there seems to be a problem syncing from scratch.

UPDATE and STAKE!  Feel free to point your X13 miner at the wallet - it should be able to accept a PoW block, although none have been produced, new PoS blocks have been.

[fonzerrellie]

I woke up and had a few deposits finally show up, some more blocks found, some more coins staking and I haven't even updated to the new wallet yet !! THANK YOU !! top notch work guy's

hard work pays off

nice, the wallet IS COMPILED on github I downloaded the blockchain and used it with the original .conf file from my previous wallet and it opened synced awesome stuff guys

How do I point my miners at the wallet?

You'll need to make a Techcoin.conf (text) file in the ...\appdata\Techcoin directory with something like this:

Code:

server=1
port=57697
rpcport=57698
rpcuser=rpcusernamehere
rpcpassword=rpcpasswordhere
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
addnode=tech.chainworks.info

And then depending on the mining software you're using you'll configure it to connect to the wallet, so for example if you're using the CPU miner it looks like this:

Code:

minerd -a x13 -o http://127.0.0.1:57698 -u rpcusernamehere -p rpcpasswordhere

You would change the username and password accordingly, but everything else stays the same.

This thread has the mining software if you need it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=570744.0

The PoS blocks are flowing - I still don't see any PoW blocks but the network may still be majority PoS only and thus rejecting them, or the difficulty is way too high.

I sent some coins from bittrex to one of my wallets.

Bittrex gave me this TXid:  822045cf749b02a06308c0e176e4034dd395ac9666f350153c682f55246b0d47  but the block explorer yields no results when I enter that TXid, and the coins have not showed up in my wallet.  Did we fork? Is Bittrex on the right fork?

there hasn't been a new block in a while, I'd wait for a block or two

I'm trying to set up my miner to throw my lil hash at it to help, with sph sgminer, with that conf file in the wallet and in the miner all it says is "slow /down or URL or credentials invalid"

I've never tried mining from a wallet before

I just received confirmation from Bittrex that they've updated their wallet about 5 hours ago.

did you search your address on the block explorer?  happened to me earlier that I couldn't find it, but magically showed up hours later.

so, if wallet is on a different machine, just use that machines address and open 57698

checked block explorer again, not there.  I think I sent them before Bittrex did the upgrade.  Oh, well it was only 100 coins

How long do coins stay staked for?

Thanks
