[ANN][SLR] SolarCoin | PoW to PoS v. 2.0 | Solar Proof of Generation (§1 = 1MWh)

[onsightit]

All,

I have uploaded the 2.0 Release Candidate (beta14) to the dropbox:
 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j4t7a214qjuov6r/SolarCoin-2.0RC-setup.exe?dl=0


INSTALL NOTES:

Remove the contents of the data directory C:\Users\{your name}\AppData\Roaming\SolarCoin  (including wallet.dat IF you have a backup!)
Copy your 1.5 version of wallet.dat to the data directory.
Install the 2.0 RC.

You may either wait for the blockchain to sync, or you may download the bootstrap via File -> Reload Blockchain.

If you have issues getting the download to work (the web server is a little flakey), you can download the bootstrap manually from http://solarcoin.org/downloads/ and save it to the data directory.  Then try to reload the blockchain again, skipping the "Download" step.

EDIT:  PoST is scheduled for block 830000.  This is roughly 7.5 days from now.

-Steve

Thanks onsight

If this turns out to be the final version will this be the last install? Or will there still be another wallet to download that is active.

Thanks for all the hard work!

[vipgelsi]

I just downloaded the new wallet and a full sync but for some reason my coin balance is not showing.

Got it to work by re scanning wallet! works great

If no issues are reported, this is the final install.

Edit: The official download links for Win/Mac/Linux will be updated soon.

Thanks

Right, if you are doing a full sync, your balances will change along the way as blocks are processed.

You can buy it cheaper than you can mine it too...

I'm mining there now with all I have left, one tiny GAW Fury. I've gone through 3 power supplies.

They do have a notice there about POST so I think everything is moving along. I have not tried the new wallet yet however.

Couldn't find the note, where is it?
Just in case, re-posted Nick's announcement on their forum:

Those power supplies are really weak, made me switch to a PC power supply, all miners work great now.

I may do that in the future. I have a PSU, just need to buy a new dummy switch and get those barrel connectors.

All,

I have uploaded the 2.0 Release Candidate (beta14) to the dropbox:
 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j4t7a214qjuov6r/SolarCoin-2.0RC-setup.exe?dl=0


INSTALL NOTES:

Remove the contents of the data directory C:\Users\{your name}\AppData\Roaming\SolarCoin  (including wallet.dat IF you have a backup!)
Copy your 1.5 version of wallet.dat to the data directory.
Install the 2.0 RC.

You may either wait for the blockchain to sync, or you may download the bootstrap via File -> Reload Blockchain.

If you have issues getting the download to work (the web server is a little flakey), you can download the bootstrap manually from http://solarcoin.org/downloads/ and save it to the data directory.  Then try to reload the blockchain again, skipping the "Download" step.

EDIT:  PoST is scheduled for block 830000.  This is roughly 7.5 days from now.

Thank you Steve!

Speaking about the bootstrap.zip manual download - I did notice the application comes up with a message that the download ends prematurely; that made me check the link at http://solarcoin.org/downloads/.
Apparently there is an improper server redirect there, which brings back this to the web browser address bar: http://www.%{http_host}.com/
Can you please check it out, that might be causing the problem the application has when trying to get the bootstrap.zip.

Thanks y_virtual! I'm not a web dev, so I appreciate that.  Perhaps Nick could hack that out(?)

All,

The official 2.0.1 release candidate can be downloaded from http://solarcoin.org/downloads/

If you are running a 2.0 beta, you can get the update right in the wallet: Help -> Check for Update

Is there a new github repository? Or an Ubuntu 14 x64 compatible daemon? (needed for the explorer)
