the current wallet posted a few posts back does not work for solo mining. for me anyway
Use the one you can download from
http://emeraldcoin.info/emd-pools/ hosted on Mega. I believe that's our semi-official website for now. It's the one I'm using and it works fine. I think I'd stay away from wallets and block chains individual users post, unless you're really confident in the person (are they active and an authority in that particular coin's community.) They can cause problems. And it really doesn't take that long to download a block chain. Maybe a day or so at worst, unless the coin has problems. It's worth making sure you get the right one.
I'm pretty sure m0gliE has exactly 2 posts in this thread, one was the block chain and the other was the one you indicated with links to his wallet. Not slamming m0gliE, I don't know him, just words of caution. He's not a regular here.
Hey, I resolved his problem, he was trying to solo mine and was using port 12128 instead of default rpcport=12328.
"well shit there we go, wrong port number all along. Thx dude"
thanks for the low blow, the amount of posts hardly speak for what is conducted on IRC.
All I did was provide the links because there weren't any working at the time.
I also created the emerald bootstrap.dat to help those who had problems syncing. It's not a personal zipped up copy of blk*.dat's you copy/pasta.
Join me on IRC if you'd like to talk more.
