I figured as much Gab. This is my 3rd or 4th re-indexing due to having my blockchains implode (due to my own stupidity).
Releasing the source code would likely help with bug squashing on your end. Lots of smart neck beards around these parts.

I'd go ahead and release the source code if you feel it's right.. Or don't.. I'd like the mining difficulty to stay low so I can get more Bitcredit! Wink

Gabriel, is there any plan to get a working block explorer so people will know if they are on the right fork? The way this coin has issues with syncing it seems that forking is something that could easily occur. Also, are there any official nodes to add to the .conf file to make sure people can sync? What are the plans going forward? You also need to release the source code as binaries only are likely preventing people from getting involved with this coin.

Good suggestions all of them.

I'll give a longer answer in a few hours, but a quick summary, absolutely, a block explorer would be a good thing, there are a few official nodes, I'll list them a little later when I have the time.

The source will be released soon but I'll continue that discussion when I have the time in a few hours.

Thank you for the input.

I am back up and mining after re-indexing the last hours away.
Now to hit some sweet sweet CRE blocks. (2% of the network hash)

*Edit: Woot got my first block! I used a deposit to get it though. Wink

*Edit2: Annnd I crashed my computer trying to overclock it and corrupted the blockchain again. fml

Be careful and ensure you close down the Bitcredit Client properly else you're gonna have a bad time..

Trying to restart with -checklevel=2 now. Only 1 year 13 weeks left of re-indexing on the BTC blockchain.
Hopefully going to get the blockchains done downloading and synced tonight so I can have another whack at mining!
Will post back here when I get it going again. Strange that it wouldn't allow me to launch it without a reindex/checklevel.
I had to ctrl+alt+delete the Bitcredit client when I got to crazy with my CPU priority for mining.. I would be careful doing such again.

Back up your wallet files before doing anything.

I had that happen and I deleted everything in the bitcredit directory except the wallet files and copied the torrent files over to the bitcredit directory and started with Bitcredit-Qt.exe -checklevel=2. I found that once the blockchain data got funky it took longer than just starting with the torrent files Gabriel provided and using -checklevel=2. I don't know why some of us had problems and others didn't. Mine is working fine now but blocks are few and far between and the hashrate has gone up tenfold since yesterday. Apparently the torrent file download has helped quite a few people get started mining.

Having a bit of an error..

I restarted my client and tried to claim bitcoins for bitcredit..

Unfortunately the block that I found isn't appearing in my wallet now. :/

Did my 40 Bitcredit get wiped? :/

*edit: Seems I was mining on my own fork.. Wonderful.

*edit2: It appears that windows 8 is blocking my folders with the read only flag.. I can't seem to set it any other way.

Right click on the folder - Choose Properties - General - uncheck Read Only - click Apply

Edit:

It might say read only again after you do that but the permissions should be set correctly. I had the same issue.

So, I've got the wallet synced fully now (from the torrent download) and have successfully mined my first block!
Very excited to see where this coin goes.

Gabriel has been very helpful in assisting me get the Bitcredit client going. A top notch coin developer!

Any word on the working directory?

Everything should be in place now. See separate post.

Okay I got the torrent downloaded and synced up. Even found a couple blocks. I'm troubled by the 6400 blocks already mined when nobody was able to get the wallet working.

Several users have been able to get the client started and have been mining from the beginning, for example MisO69, so block creation has been fairly quick from the start. It is at a slower pace now that the difficulty has adjusted accordingly.

As is described in the post below, the distribution of coins is also S-shaped, meaning that the reward will be smaller in the beginning to reach a max in about two years. This is to give a fairer distribution by not giving early miners an unproportional amount of coins. I hope this lessens your concerns.

TORRENT WITH UP TO DATE BLOCKCHAIN DISTRIBUTED!

There have been some serious problems with the initial synching of the blockchain for some. The problem with long initial sync times will be addressed soon in the coming releases of the client.

To ease the transition period, an up to date working directory is distributed here to speed up installation and sync times. This should get sync times down to under half an hour once the torrent has been downloaded and unpacked.

Torrent file with instructions can be found here:
http://bitcredit-currency.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=517

The torrent has been tested on two separate windows 64 bit stationary installations after uploading and downloading the torrent.

!!!!NOTE!!!
For some reason some files may come out as read only after extraction. To make sure that this does not cause problems, right click the Bitcredit working directory and select Properties. Deselect the Read only checkbox and click OK. Make sure that the update is applied recursively to the whole directory.
!!!!NOTE!!!

It is not recommended for use with any other operating system for the moment.

If you have any questions, direct them here to get a quick reply.

I downloaded the BTC blockchain (2nd time now) and had it hang up trying to get bitcredit synced.
I shut the client down and restarted and now I cannot get past the splash screen.. Sad

You've had some serious trouble with this. What does the log output look like now?

I'll send you a .torrent file so that you can download a blockchain synched and ready. Does that sound reasonable?

There is no chances unless dev with his team allow us to mine( they change the wallets with bug)
It is impossible to sync wallet. After bitcoin bloks downloaded wallet crashes.
I spend many hours in many ways to figure out how to sync and nothing.
So my question is WHO was able to sync and mine that coin from that downloads.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SYNC WALLET.

I suppose the only persons were able to mine that coin from 19 march were dev and his taem.
Congratulations...

I tried for a week to get this to sync without luck. Tried on numerous machines. I could get the bitcoin blockchain synced but that's as far as it would go. I've never been unable to mine a coin. You are correct that the only people mining this are likely the dev and his buddies. The released wallet does not sync regardless what the dev says.

I'm sorry to hear that, as mentioned above, had we've heard about this before all support possible would have been given. See reply above regarding other ways of downloading a pre-setup working directory.

Any word on the working directory?

Doing validations right now. Will post as soon as it's done.

It is a bit unfortunate that you haven't voiced your problems earlier, help could have been given here. There are of course no intent whatsoever to prevent people from starting mining. On the contrary, an even distribution of coins is vital for the success of a new coin.

However, a torrent is just being created to enable download of a pre-setup working directory. If you are still interested info will be posted here as soon as it's done. That should get you started in under an hour, once you have downloaded the torrent.
