Where are the updated windows files?

The link on the original first-post is to an older source than the one I have?

The link I had (I assume burried in one of the non-first posts), gave me a compiled version with 7/9/2013 "modified" dates. The link on the first page gives files that are "modified" on 6/18/2013... thus, older than what I have.

Tell your coder to check his computers time, if he is compiling with an older date than reality, or update the original link on the first post so we don't have to dig to find a program that works. Unless your target is just a minority of poor coders using free OS's, and not the majority of actual people with money using Windows. (Just some food for thought. Not insulting coders, or people not willing to pay for an OS. They have their reasons, I am sure. But they are NOT going to be the primary funding of a coin. If there was anything you should have learned from BTC, it is that internal support of a poor coder leaves you trading pennies, not dollars, for years, and poor structure with "making your program available", essentially kills coins. Just look at mincoin, chncoin, ezcoin, sexcoin, hypercoin, luckycoin, powercoin and anoncoin... You don't want to follow in footsteps that lead you to an open grave.)

Not sure what you mean. The link in the first post points to a RAR archive containing the latest version. The DLL's are from 6/18/2013, but who cares, they're just dependencies supporting the program. The main .exe file in the archive is stamped on 7/9/2013. I double checked this.

On a side note, I am the coder. I don't get paid for this (I mine Noirbits like everyone else, and there was no premine...). I do it on my free time. This is a community coin. Anyone willing to help is welcome. Lots of people giving lessons, but not that many actually helping out....

Quite funny how most users consider they shouldn't have too do any work, and the coders should do everything. This is not paid software. Now, if you do decide to pay me, I can get more professional, but line up the cash, because I already have a full-time job coding.

Please do not take advantage of his efforts, he really has done a lot. Personally m disgusted by those who only complain but can't add anything to the project. I said BE RESPECTFUL , ask nicely when you have issues. attacking him or me may have unexpected results. We have full time jobs already but we are here building this WITH NO PAY. show some decency.

I'll second how much he has done. I reviewed the code, and gave him some comments, and he took them and did all of them. From what I could see, not only did we make a hugely beneficial change for the coin, but he also factored the code so that future changes to the algorithm are really easy to make, and really obvious to review and see whether they work. At this point, from what I can see, the coin seems to be working well. There's a few minor tweaks which can improve it, which is what were talking about now, no where near the serious situation we have before the algo update. This is a community coin, so everyone is welcome to suggest improvements, and the community will discuss and improve them.

I'm not quite sure what the problem is that started this thread. I downloaded the new client, and had no problems with it, and nothing looked wrong with the dates. By all means if there is an issue, everyone is willing to fix it. Maybe we are missing something. Please post the exact links to the files which have the problem so that we can get to the bottom of this.
