I've started a Wiki for PascalCoin at Github:

https://github.com/PascalCoin/PascalCoin/wiki

If somebody is interested in help me in documentation... send me a PM

Some suggestions.

The first Alt-coin that is designed to doesn't need historical operations for work and control double spend or check balance.

Change to this or something like it.

The first Alt-coin designed to work without a historical operations requirement yet is still able to control double spending or check balance.

All helps are wellcome. Change to         All help is welcome.

Spelling errors Plattform to Platform.  Allways to Always.

Cryptonite was the first coin to implement a mini-blockchain scheme. It uses a decentralized balance sheet approach to keep the blockchain tiny. I don't understand exactly how the scheme is implemented, or how pascalcoin's lack of historical operations scheme is implemented, but both coins are based on the goal of removing the need to maintain an ever growing giant blockchain. Despite its mini-blockchain scheme cryptonite's not in the top 100 coins. Pascalcoin might need more than a lack of historical operations to get into the top 100.



Mini-Blockchain

Cryptonite is the first implementation of the light weight mini-blockchain scheme. Nodes will never again spend days synchronizing with the network and the average user will not have to fear becoming a full node. This is possible because of our decentralized balance sheet approach.






Reading White Paper you will see that Pascal coin is not a "mini-blockchain".

PascalCoin core DOES NOT NEED the blockchain. CAN BE DELETED. ALL AT ANY TIME !

But, of course, the blockchain is usefull to see historical operations, but, I say again: You can delete ALL previous blocks from the blockchain and PascalCoin will work perfectly, without double spend problem.

So... that is not a mini-blockchain. Sorry.  Grin


In that case why did pineapples need Lafu's blockchain download to get the wallet working, and why did you instruct users to replace the pascalcoinb03.mdb for a downloaded database to get the wallet working. If it was to fix a temporary bug what was the bug and how did it stop PascalCoin working perfectly without a downloaded blockchain?




I have a client that is refusing to sync.
It was stuck on 5 days ago, trying to use an older copy of chain I have, it's now stuck on 12 days ago.

Seems I am on correct time,
any other ideas to try to get it to sync ?

Try this http://filedropper.com/pascalcoinb03_1

Helped some users

what is it?

a more recent blockchain file to use.


cool bananas Smiley
seemed to work. i'm now 6 minutes ago !! thanks


i tried playing with deleting everything, reinstalling different version and also UPNP and port forwarding but i had no success with any of that.



Try downloading a more recent blockchain file from here
: http://filedropper.com/pascalcoinb03_1. There's something weird with that blockchain file, and about half the time I set up a new node I end up having to grab a more recent blockchain file to use.

Thanks Vorksholk.

I've detected this issue and today (max tomorrow) I'll update a new build 1.0.6 with some corrections and also with last blockchain.

Meanlwhile download this Database is usefull for new installations.

INSTRUCTIONS for new installations: (Until new build updated)
1 - Download installer and execute it
2 - Download Blockchain database from http://filedropper.com/pascalcoinb03_1.
3 - Go to PascalCoin database folder, located at: C:\Users\(Your user)\AppData\Roaming\PascalCoin
4 - Replace pascalcoinb03.mdb for downloaded database
5 - Run Application and wait until Ready
6 - Remember to open your 4004 port
