NEW VERSION RELEASED!!!

https://github.com/techcoinproject/Techcoin/releases/tag/v1.0.2.0

Make sure you KEEP your existing blockchain or download a fresh copy because there seems to be a problem syncing from scratch.

UPDATE and STAKE!  Feel free to point your X13 miner at the wallet - it should be able to accept a PoW block, although none have been produced, new PoS blocks have been.

How do I point my miners at the wallet?

You'll need to make a Techcoin.conf (text) file in the ...\appdata\Techcoin directory with something like this:

Code:
server=1
port=57697
rpcport=57698
rpcuser=rpcusernamehere
rpcpassword=rpcpasswordhere
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
addnode=tech.chainworks.info

And then depending on the mining software you're using you'll configure it to connect to the wallet, so for example if you're using the CPU miner it looks like this:

Code:
minerd -a x13 -o http://127.0.0.1:57698 -u rpcusernamehere -p rpcpasswordhere

You would change the username and password accordingly, but everything else stays the same.

This thread has the mining software if you need it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=570744.0

The PoS blocks are flowing - I still don't see any PoW blocks but the network may still be majority PoS only and thus rejecting them, or the difficulty is way too high.

so, if wallet is on a different machine, just use that machines address and open 57698
