Very interesting idea for a coin, setting up my wallet and prepping my CPU for a nice hammering.

Right on Greydon. let me know when you are up and running and I'll send you over some CRE!

Gonna take a while... I don't have enough disk space to use torrent method for syncing, so waiting hours for the client to sync! Progress: 2 Years 40 weeks to go.....

Ahh darn man. Just keep at it. Do not shut off the client until it is fully synced. Even if the GUI looks frozen when syncing the Bitcredit chain leave it.

Wait for 2 green checkmarks and you should be good to go.

Is there any other mining software I can use on additional towers I have laying around so that I don't need to run multiple wallets and could instead just point them to the first wallet?

There are no other mining software where you can point to a single wallet, no.

What you could do, is creating a password protected wallet that you distribute to all miners. As long as you don't unlock the wallet in any of the miners the key pool will not update, thereby making sure that the same keys are used everywhere. This may cause some key reuse though.

It is highly recommended that you use the torrent but if you can't, well.

There's a more streamlined version in testing that probably will be released this weekend, so you may want to wait for that one.

It took me a couple of days to get this running, lost time mainly due to work commitment but it seems to work. I generated 7 blocks over night so not too bad I guess.

I still wouldn't mind those 10 credits to see a transfer. Addy is: 17gp17xYMivL6u8QCzkxNP4uWE2KSqzLjn

Thanks a lot.

Anyone know if you can mine with a locked wallet. I put a passphrase by habit and locked the wallet now and can't see how to unlock it so hopefully mining still works

I don't know if you can mine with a locked wallet. Something is telling me no though.

[MisO69]

You can mine with a locked wallet I have done it many times. The thing you cannot do is stake a PoS coin with a locked wallet.

Yes you can mine with a locked wallet.

The one difference is that some keys will end up in the deposit_wallet.dat wallet file.

What happens in practice when you generate a block is that there are two transactions generated, the first one is a coinbase transaction, the second one is the deposit transaction. When you don't add any separate deposits and run the miner with coinbase as deposit enabled, the coinbase transaction will be spent directly by the deposit transaction. This spending can not be done from a locked wallet so the output key for the coinbase transaction will be added to the deposit_wallet.dat file instead of the bitcredit_wallet.dat file. Since the coinbase output is spent in the same block by the deposit transaction, there is no need to keep the key afterwards. If you do want to keep it anyway, for bookkeeping, the key is stored in deposit_wallet.dat. This means that if you want to make sure you back up all keys that has been generated, you should make a security copy of both bitcredit_wallet.dat and deposit_wallet.dat. Apart from this storing of keys, the deposit_wallet.dat is ONLY used to keep temporary copies of manually created deposits.

This may be a little difficult to understand but I intend to write a more detailed description of the specification this weekend. You will find some more details there.

You can mine with a locked wallet I have done it many times. The thing you cannot do is stake a PoS coin with a locked wallet.

In this case you actually can pre-create stakes for use as deposits. See answer above for some more details about it.

Welcome, a new version will be released in the coming our. I would recommend you to use that one instead of the old version since the startup process has been much improved.

New version of init torrent file released

A new up-to-date version of the torrent for quick startup has been released. This is in preparation for the new version of Bitcredit that will be released in a few hours.

Version 0.9.1.10 of Bitcredit client released

A new version of the Bitcredit client has been released. It solves the problem with long and problematic initial startup and sync times, among other things.

0.9.1.10 is a larger update with:
- Improved time for startup and initial syncing of blockhains.
- Bug fixes with regards to inconsistency problems in the chainstate.
- UI freeze problems handled.
- Several other bug fixes.

The sync process when starting from scratch now takes about 20-28 hours if you have a decent internet connection. Test done on a Lenovo laptop with a physical quad core i7 processor.

It is highly recommended that all users upgrade as soon as possible.

Make a copy your existing versions and try to start the new version instead. The transition should be seamless.

Ok, that is not good. Will try to reproduce. I've seen the behaviour under some circumstances.
