Yes it started working after about 1.5 days of syncing (bitcoin), I was able to start mining shortly after.
I had some issues with a memory leak or maybe just the client using alot of memory while syncing the BTC bockchain.
I just want to add, this is an interesting coin. I think I'll keep mining it with one of my computers.
Can you give an estimate to how many coins you are mining per hour///per day, and with what does it mine, CPU or GPU?
CPU I have Intel i5 4670 @ 3.60 GH/z
GPU I have Gigabyte Radeon HD 7970Ghz Edition @ 1.2 GHz
Not many people are mining right now so its the best time to get on this. If I had to estimate I would guess about 4000 - 5000 coins /day with your CPU at the current difficulty. Its wallet mining only so you can point your GPU to something else at the same time. Just make sure to leave a CPU thread for the GPU mining program.
