I am using window 7 64 bit.


What is up with the pool, Webcoin.us. It's been down all day and I have like 9000 coins stuck there.??
basically they never updated to the mandatory version which fixed the difficulty adjustment max window, so they forked, then, somehow he never backed up the wallet.dat (because it was the server's wallet.dat - yeah why back that up?), he upgraded 12 hours late, and he somehow corrupted the wallet, then he blamed me. 

I would never run even personal mining rigs without having backups, no idea why he wouldn't backup people's hard earned coins.

Hopefully he has a backup and just doesn't know it or forgot, or he can export all keys from the wallet.


Wow that sucks. So I guess that was a waste of time for me. Oh well. Thanks for the update.

How much did you lose?

About 9000 but its cool. I got plenty when I was able to solomine at the start.

I lost 23k from webcoin =$ think I'm going to stick to solo mining for a bit

Can you explain the "Proof-of-Block" a little more? I don't get it? You can get coins when you make transactions? Or am I misunderstanding? Couldn't you just endlessly send coins to your self?
You could endlessly send coins to yourself sure, but fees would eat up your funds, its based on addresses in the previous block converted to a hex format, a snippet of that address then used to search the previous block hash for matches, if there is a match the address receives part of the mining subsidy.  Its not very easy to have a match.  Because of this, there is additional checking the verifies the coinbase transactions including address, value, size etc further securing the blockchain and eliminating the possibility of disabling the functionality.

Ah ok, so it's really a Proof of Transaction or like that... i thought it might have been tied to solo'ing a block or something.

Also, what's the POS specifics... wallet open and unlocked, etc?


Hmmm it could be.  I was never good at naming stuff LOL.  It could go either way though since you are in a sense verifying the hash, coinbase size and transaction for every block, even when there is no match.   Same token you are verifying an address. 

POS is wallet open, and unlocked for minting...  you don't have to unlock the entire wallet

I backup the wallets of even my nodes just in case I send small test transactions LOL.  Not sure who someone would think that its not Ok to backup a pool's wallet.  Then on top of it blame me and the release.  I'm sorry but if your running a pool you need to stay on top of this type of thing with updates, issues etc.  This is why I've never run a public pool...

actually i just solomined a coin and it went orphant. at.. this stage of the lunch the dificulty is too high for me to loose it like that. Somethings off.

moving away from this coin until its fixed
I solomine all day long with no orphans, did you update and can you verify your at block 6848 or above?  what block orphaned for you (value it would have been is all I need if you don't' know the #)
my wallet shows block 6852 at this moment.

Status: 0/unconfirmed, broadcast through 34 nodes
Date: 3/10/2014 14:31
Source: Generated
Credit: (not accepted)
Net amount: 0.00 FLT
Transaction ID: cd3834cfdc3bc0912603b17682dac55ca50f2d9c5c0966b5e30c6bb30c0ab0b3

it was suppose to be 7880 coins : (

sadly thats a legit orphan, it happens, though not often, its block 6834

http://explorer.fluttercoin.us/block_crawler.php?transaction=ca94e1edcc204b34113fbe5dd196ffc987a6e83bf655f1ac946b33038bc52908

exact time as your mined block (unix time 1394476261)

I once solomined a BTC block - which was like impossible at the time, and it orphaned.  I was SICK

Not sure if people understand what an orphan is, but what it is is that another worker checked in a block and it was accepted before yours, resulting in your block being invalid.  The reason it happens so much at low difficulty is because the blocks are basically mined so fast that multiple people could have solved the hash - but only one can be accepted by the network.

bit ember is 300 blocks ahead....  

the other pool 6500's 
http://pool.webcoin.us/flt/statistics/blocks
is this coin forked?
Yeah, he never updated, and due to the critical nature of the fix, they forked off onto their own chain.  I sent out alerts to all previous release clients/wallets and posted warning that it was coming, and also gave over 24 hours notice.  Especially with all the forking issues if you were running a pool you should be routinely checking for messages, checking the height etc to be sure its on the right chain.
