Has anyone seen this in regards to how this client works a bit differently to the others such as bitcoin and namecoin?
You need to specify server or put server=1 in the i0coin.conf file
http://forum.i0coin.org/index.php?topic=10.0I wonder if this is one of the reasons why so many people went in the pool instead of sticking to solo for the low difficulty settings
As well that some people may have lost blocks because of this.
I was solo mining with poclbm but didn't have the -server mode set and I do remember getting a couple of blocks that never came. I assumeed they may have been orphaned later but now I wonder.
Technocrat said:
"I found 2 blocks without having server=1 in my bitcoin.conf file.
They did not show up in the client.
Can these be recovered?"
If this turns out to affect a lot of people and the coins can't be recovered it could be as good a case as any for a reset.
I'm the one that created that post. My problem was I didn't know you could use i0coin.exe with a -server switch, I was used to the bitcoin/namecoin with the 'D' at the end being the daemon that you could simply run (namecoind.exe) and then open a new command window and run commands against it. With i0coind.exe it actually tried to launch a new process instead of running commands against the daemon.
The guy that posted below me helped me fix the problem by me running i0coin.exe -server , I didn't know the gui client had a -server mode. (Makes me wonder WTF the i0coin daemon exe is for)
However to answer your question, if someone ran it incorrectly, their solo miners would never have connected at all - they wouldn't have somehow magically connected but lost all the blocks.
