Does not synchronize my wallet.
My config looks like this:
addnode=95.85.39.131
addnode=97.112.91.126

[...]

Put this in a .bat file in your benjamins folder: [this is what I have in benjamins.bat]

Code:

benjamins-qt -server -seednode=198.147.23.176

Unfortunately, as I do not synchronize.
Stops on the block 24270

Anyway yep 24270 was the last block found, 24271 is the one we've been working on.

your wallet is up-to-date. we have NOT found block 24270 yet. It thinks you're not in sync as the network expects to have found a block sooner than 2-3 days, but alas, we have not.

Okay yes you're right.

But the point is the same, things move slowly in 1776 terms. Liberty takes time to find purchase in a world of flash profits.

But to answer all the earlier posts about "Where's Ben the dev"? To me, he seems kinda like that Anthony Michael Hall character in Breakfast Club, ya know "I pulled the stupid trunk and the light's supposed to come on..." So he's probably a bit hard on himself, and probably he didn't expect a person like myself to bring a true 1776 modality to his thread. Who really likes history or truth? Not many people are ready for it.

So, I kinda expect him to launch with some other personality. Like maybe "JefeersonCoin" or something? LOL How many 1776 coins can you think up? Well, I will stay on the first, original, accidentally cracked blockchain because it seems to have integrity and is open for all to peruse. I can't stand thinking about the next horrible thing some dev is gonna do. I'll stay right here.

But, my question is since Ben licensed the code under MIT license, does he go to MIT or is that the same license as the bitcoin code? Also if he goes to MIT does that mean he is lacking in the normal social skills like a lot of their students? Also, did Ben the Coder have a web presence before his "AllAbouttheBenjamins" persona? Because, that persona, apparently WAS all about the Benjamins. I see some hundreds of thousands of coins dumped at the top, so maybe only the bag holders care now?

Meh, I have been a bag holder in many other schemes by devs, a class of people who seem to need so much help, either in not screwing the world up, or in staying focused on one project. So, I will work this thread and this blockchain, until the unforseen future. In terms of 1776, we must accept what has been given, this difficulty will not make a ton of coins, but 2.4 million already exist and they can be fractioned, and this open code can be taken by good people, to prevent all the crap that cryptocoins come with. Let us not tolerate any more flaky devs, if they want to work a SHA coin, take one in the 1776 spirit.

But yes, as you say "alas" it takes time to find new coins. But also like we discussed, 30 BEN = about 20 cents so investing in the 1776 spirit ain't hard either. And so I don't think it's quite "alas" yet, unless people are trying to get rich. Myself, I am mining on principle, I am not a thief, I am not some flaky throwaway named developer. I am real in the IT world and people know me. I ain't on some crap like LinkedIn or FB or Twitter --those are for fools. I am as real as it gets. I was on the Internet before G00g and I saw what they did to it, so all this new crap can bite me. I will be in the 1776 spirit, hoping for a better future. Thanks for all your hard work and especially for being adult enough to post in the thread even as the rollout didn't go 100% to plan, it is a charming crack that this bell has.
