The problem with Apple's Walled Garden concept is that they absolutely require full control over all revenue streams generated through their apps and hardware*. This is exactly the same reason why Flash will never be allowed on Apple devices. Apple will never allow altcoins or Bitcoins through its services without opening a floodgate for other entrepreneurs.

Just my 2 cents on the Android wallet.

If we want a closed-source wallet it will mean building it from scratch.
- increases the amount of effort required
- introduces higher probability of bugs
- increases the development, testing and refinement time
- will be orders of magnitude more expensive

I see why people want closed source on this, but it makes the project exponentially harder, longer and more costly.

Is there not a huge PR advantage to being known as the first community to create a PoS wallet?

It's a tough decision...

Yep, spot on. Thanks for giving the command, am seeing an 80% orphan rate.

Am not used to seeing the rate of orphans this high, it's usually the other way around. Suspect it may be down to general network latency combined with my low hashrate.

EDIT: I am based in Australia so this is no surprise TBH

Hi there, am having a go at soloing GLX while the diff is low. However my QT client is acting somewhat strangely. It has recorded three transactions and yet has a balance of zero with no unconfirmed coins to be seen. I know I have processed blocks as I have three of these events in my logs:
These blocks may have been orphaned but my transaction log is empty. Does anyone know what might be up?
I am using Galaxycoin version 2.0.0.0 with SGminer 4.1.0 in a Win7 64bit environment.

EDIT
OK, weird. I just saw a new block get accepted and received the notification that I had received 64 GLX. This updated the 'Unconfirmed' entry in my wallet with the 64 GLX, but then this went back to zero in 2 secs. Balance not updated.

Hmm, yep looks like I've been donating Doge for the last couple of hours...

I'm having trouble connecting on port 4444 though, I get the following error from sgminer 4.1.0:


using the following command


Everything looks OK to me - any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Need to update the connection settings info on http://mint.mintpool.us/mint/index.php too

In the help section the port is given as 4444 where it should be 3333

Thanks deadmanwalking

Cool, sounds like you fixed the problem

It would appear though that some of the blocks you might have generated got solved by someone else, and are therefore orphaned. You will soon start minting new ones though.

That raises a question though; would the stake that generated an orphaned block be elligible to mint again or is it back on counter for 20-odd days?

Perhaps a dev could help explain, or has anyone who has been minting seen the same stake generate orphans until it succeeds? I've seen rumour of a 20% success rate but don't quote me on that - other people's mileage may vary based on whatever factors may be involved.

Hmm, sounds like some sort of corruption may be at fault here. Checksum implies that one or more files aren't the size that the program expects them to be. I think it's worth replacing all current Mintcoin files with new ones (except wallet.dat ofc)

Give this a shot:
1. Close down your wallet
2. Backup the wallet.dat file somewhere safe.
3. Delete all Mintcoin files on your PC - the QT.exe folder as well as the data in %appdata%\roaming\Mintcoin\... (assuming you're on Windows)
4. Download a new copy of the Mintcoin wallet 1.5
5. Run the exe, wait for it to open and then close it again.
6. Copy your backed-up wallet.dat into the %appdata% folder
7. Restart your client and see if it syncs.

As the coins haven't moved this won't reset their age, as well as ruling out 99% of files potentially corrupted.

Heavycoin and...

*popcorn*

user 'flipme' wanted the Mac wallet. I could have quoted that better I admit...

+1

I'd be happy to donate my 50k bounty for liking on FB and following on Twitter. I believe in paying favours forward, even if this is just a drop in the ocean.

Anyone have a rough idea how many coins went missing?

Also, why don't Cryptorush put in place the same thing Cryptsy does when accounting errors are exploited? I accidentally got a few extra coins from a Cryptsy SNAFU and my account was quickly placed into a negative balance. I was locked out of trading until the arrears were sorted. Surely this is better to implement than putting blame back on the devs?

Mac Wallet ver. 1.5

Devastating news - PoW is over friend.

Seriously? Seriously.

EDIT: Well that'll teach me for having a few glasses of pinot and posting in the wrong thread... apologies for the inappropriate sarcasm :S

PoW is still going for ZEIT, I should know I'm mining the thing! FFS

Brother I hear you and feel compassion for your plight.

However; LOL no.

Happy grifting, K8

Yep, I see what you mean. I'd just rather see the real problems fixed over finding a way to sidestep. The number of coins isn't important but perhaps these issues relate more to the liquidity of the exchange; that's not a code problem unfortunately.

Have a beer on me old bean, see you on the other side

The size of the transaction should be arbitrary. The workaround you're suggesting is better known as a kludge.

Oh crap sorry didn't mean to interrupt your debate with my post >_<

Just my 2 ZEITs here...

I think the greatest thing TZM have achieved is to raise awareness on how broken our financial systems are. They have brought a certain amount of enlightenment to many who feel trapped in an oppressive, controlling regime that dominates governments and countries alike. But if asked if the Zeitgeist movement has been successful in making real change to the world? I have to say no.

Now this may be an uncomfortable parallel, but this compares closely to the achievements of Karl Marx. I know, I know, I can feel the discomfort radiating through your screen. But look at it from an objective point of view; Marx's most important work was Das Kapital, a stern and uncompromising appraisal of the capitalist system as he knew it that stirred up anger and resentment at its criticism. Only when pressed into coming up with an alternative did he invent what we now call Socialism, much like how the Zeitgeist movement has embraced Jacque Fresco's ideas for a resource-based economy.

It might be completely unworkable, but it's function has been to offer a rebuttal to those who ask "Yeah, very good but what's the alternative? Could you think of something better?" Marx painted a picture of an idealistic future, much like the cities that Fresco has designed. Does that take away from the important message? Well maybe a little if you focus on the 'solutions', but the reasons behind forming those solutions are key to the message "This shit's got to go"

For that reason, ZEIT coin is realising the aims of TZM - to bring awareness of the situation we face. Banking is fucked, the money system is broken. Are cryptocurrencies part of the solution? Possibly not, but the more people who understand the mire we find ourselves in, the more power we have to build a better future.

Too bad the Canada wing of TZM couldn't see this, I think they need every opportunity to spread the message.

Hmm interesting point... thinking about it though, do you think TZM people would support a centralised social engineering system that routinely erodes people's privacy in return for better targeted advertising?

Low number of FB likes is quite reassuring to me

That is a great idea - props to FaSan and the Zeit team.

Clear, professional presentation too, looks good.

Couple of questions - what are the small mining fees and is PoS calculated on balances? Didn't see mention of these in the Ts+Cs.
