wow, that's great news. i haven't mined now for a year or so. Cry

but i've synced wallet without a hitch and i'm puting some miners to work later today.

also, is there any blockexplorer working? or is there some code, i might be able to host one.

Thanks. Unfortunately none that I'm aware of - those tend to appear in sync with exchanges.

Just a little bit of news: I know the developers have successfully interfaced their code with the wallet, which isn't quite as easy as it sounds, since every well baked coin has their own "magic number" and similar changes. For instance, its pretty trivial to figure out what the current block number is, that is just an RPC call, but doing transactions or validating addresses is just a bit harder.

Lots of room for improvement on how they are doing it, although their current approach isn't bad. I MIGHT have to refresh the code to enable a more efficient interface, but that should become obvious over the next couple of months. If so, it will be transparent and not require any forking.

I have a little desktop "appliance" class box that is doing pretty well. Its a $250 quad-core celeron with 4gb of memory running linux and its mined over 800 coins since I cranked it up when this new project started. That is competing with a 56 core Xeon I'm using to keep blocks flowing. Point being, everyday home machine have a reasonable chance at finding blocks - just measure success in coins/week, not coins/minute.

If you (or anyone else) does host a block explorer, please let me know. I'll update the official webpage to point at it. That would be a great help, since most exchanges require one to be functional.
