Yes this is windows, and no I dont see any error messages in the debug.txt, at least nothing that jumps out at me. and I have added it to the exceptions list, I am running Microsoft Security Essentials but I havent had any problems with any other wallets.

--Edit: Wait I do see something weird. A line that says

"IRC connect failed"
and then a few other threads stopping/being interrupted

not sure what that means

If you'd like to post the weird lines from the debug file here, and also a copy of your megacoin.conf file, we can try to help. To me it sounds so far like your wallet can't talk to the rest of the world, but we'll see.

Hey guys, just started mining megacoin and downloaded the wallet but I cant seem to get it to sync.

I'm pretty sure I'm using the latest version 0.8.996 I just never seem to connect to the server.

I think its something I dont have in the .conf file but I have no idea, any help is appreciated.

Do me a favor (this is windows correct?)

Navigate to your %APPDATA% folder (howto here if needed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DS4ulkLeYuE) Then click the Megacoin folder. There will be a file called debug.log. Open that file with notepad, and go to the very bottom. Is it showing any sort of error message?

Also, you've added your wallet as an exception to your firewall correct?

Let me know if any of this helps Grin

As an MCSE, the first thing I would get rid of is Microsoft Security Essentials.

does anyone here speak Russian?

Russia is about as big as a crypto user and US and China.

Why not have a Russian translated Megacoin website as well???

i think btc-e would like that Grin

Been to Russia and Ukraine half a dozen times, but never learned more than a few dozen words. Wink

Very difficult language. I think you are correct that this would be a worthwhile project eventually.

The following chart is for Bitcoin and a little old, but it does seem to indicate that China has recently become a major player, and is well ahead of Russia in the mining scene.

I like watching MEC gain against BTC myself - would like to see BTC gain, and see MEC out-gain it. Grin

I never thought I would find an alt crypto that has done so well with such little presence relative to other cryptos.

EDIT: I completely agree, actually I think somebody needs to draw btc-e's attention to MEC. They are missing out on all of the volume that cryptsy currently conducts. It would be a nice win to see MEC on btc-e.

Yes, for certain foreign loan words like "cola" or, in this example, "Megacoin".

Take "cola" for instance. There is no Chinese character that means "cola" of course, since such a thing did not exist when Chinese was invented.
So, they use "可乐", which is pronounced Kělè and is as close to "cola" as you can get. The characters themselves have nothing to do with cola or any kind of drink at all though.

Finally, a boring trading day on Cryptsy.

Let's see how long the sideways trading lasts. Those trading bots must be absolutely exhausted...

Releasing in a few hours is the Official Chinese Website.

Megacoin phonetically in Mandarin is 美卡币.

By definition, these characters can mean:
美 - Beautiful, Perfect, America
卡 - Block, Card, Credit Card
币 - Currency, Money, Coin

Have a nice day!

-Dr Kimoto Chan

I believe it's just google translate grabbing the first appropriate word? 'Carolina' instead of 'Credit' or 'Currency'

Not too sure.

Yes it must be a faulty translator,
No disrespect meant on my part Dr. Chan.

Thank you for the lovely translations of your ancient and complex language. So an appropriate translation would instead have Mega or Large pictogram IMHO. but as it stands now it translates to Beautiful Block Coin or Perfect Block Coin. I would vote for Beautiful Block Coin because of the glorious and beautiful way blocks are steadily produced no matter the network hashrate fluctuations thanks to the mysterious and highly effective Gravity Well algo.

PS. Not to mention how odd it is to me that the pictogram for 美 - Beautiful, Perfect, America is all the same... Huh

unfortunately, America is neither Perfect nor Beautiful these days, IMHO.

I think you misunderstand how Chinese works when it comes to writing foreign loan words. They have to use the Chinese characters because that is all they have. You can't just put in the character for "mega" or "large" because it needs to be pronounced somewhat close to what "Mega" sounds like in English. I only speak/read Japanese, so I'm not sure how to pronounce 卡 but I assume it has a sound similar to "ga" in English, because 美 is "mei" in Chinese. That's the only reason it was chosen that way.

Anyone else notice the bad luck we are having finding blocks on miningpool.co?

I was noticing that it was very slow too. I was wondering if it's just bad luck or if somethings going on with the pool.

yeah

Estimate (24h Avg.) 456.34 MEC / 24 Hours
Mined (Last 24 Hours) 82.61444839 MEC

it probably has to do with the pool being only 1/6th of the network hashrate

Hopefully ethought can chime in and let us know if everything is ok with the pool. We've had similar hashrates all week, and today is the only day with really low block rewards. Something is odd.

Something doesn't feel right, hopefully things will break loose and we will start to see more frequent blocks. The network hash rate, and difficulty has stayed relatively high. Maybe we are just going through an area of low block density. I know most of us are spoiled after all the great mining lately.

Yeah...I think I'll jump ship here for a bit until further notice. Been throwing an 8 MH machine into the pool for the past 18 hours and have received 240 MEC -- about 1/5 what it should have averaged out to. At current value, what I mined doesn't even cover 1/2 of the power cost. That would be some pretty bad luck....

I would also love to hear from Kimoto as to what he has been up to recently, but I assume he is working on implementing ZC?

Kimoto did say a while back that he would have more news on ZC soon. From past experience I think it's safe to assume whatever he is finally implements, it will be his own special version that is vastly superior to what anyone expected.
