to be honest, I don't think that last fork went very well. It was supposed to make everything more stable, but I see the exact opposite happening; wallets on all my computers/nodes are constantly falling off and it doesn't help with a reboot, but a full chaindownload including 15-20 Syncd restarts every time. Conf or no Conf, really doesn't matter or so it seems.
Every wallet recompiled up to 1.0.2.0, seemed to help in the beginning, but then I was back to being forktrapped again.

I see that the block explorer follows, this makes me a bit suspicious.. am I being poisoned by some notoriously bad nodes?

How about you guys, do you have any/different problems today or is it only me?

this is what test-net is for.
all these so called 'developers' launching shitcoins without fully putting them through the wringer, then changing their minds as to how the coin should work...

 Roll Eyes

why would anyone invest in anything that hadn't been fully tested? we have, indeed, all been duped, and there is probably more;
'oh, lets do it this way - no, this way' attitude from our gracious leader in the pipeline.

As a not-so-conservative investor, I'm willing to take a lot of shit in the hope that I will be the earlybird that catches the worm. My patience isn't limitless however, and I see other coins having the same features as this one and more. And then someone desperately trying to control the coin without the necessary support to make it a success. Mining BlackCatCoin now, OPEC will hopefully be released in a few hours today.

after my experiences with this, and previous altcoins; I am no longer mining anything other than Bitcoin - that one is already successful.  Wink

That used to be my plan, to mine the altcoin just to get BTC for less hash. Then I started taking advantage of the increase by just holding a few days extra. And now I'm on the hook..  Grin

I have previously had a different attitude to it actually. I've mined many alts for hobby purposes and in that, have always done my best to support the coin and their communities.

Just, after this time around and one too many incompetent launches, one too many incompetent community leaders and yet one more coin with unprofessional coding in an untested coin... i'm sorry but i have finally realised it's not for me.

I've taken a hit on my investment in this and cashed out 1.75BTC last night.

the curve on mintpal before the fork; that was me and even if SYNC eventually gets up to 0.8 or 0.9, i won't regret taking the hit.
it's a lesson learned.
I now have enough cash in the bank to take a short holiday somewhere nice .
