very nice!

thanks Papsi!

This is great news paspi, I'm really glad you've been working so hard on this.

A shout out to the rest of the community to request donation pledges for this "Bloom Filter" feature, as well as one of you other programmers to step up and start working on this. I'm sure paspi will be able to help you along with it if needed.

Should you want to pledge a donation, please PM me the amount, and I shall add it to the list and post it.

touche my man,   touche..

Paspi, holy sh..balls that sounds fantstic! Gracias

Android wallet update:

Hello everybody; I'm working on a Java MintCoin library and an Android wallet.

For best security and long term development, I forked from latest bitcoinj last week. Converted it to Scrypt. Made it able to communicate with my local Mintcoin wallet over network. I just updated it to understand and accept PoS/PoW hybrid blocks, and I can announce you that it can sync with the blockchain from genesis block up to #239870, which is generated just minutes ago

There are some missing features yet:

- It can validate PoW block difficulties (calculation is a little different in PoW/PoS hybrids than pure PoW coins, PoS blocks affect calculations, and modifying bitcoinj library for this task really had some challenges) ; but it doesn't try to validate PoS block difficulties yet (this is a security issue and will be fixed before releasing)

- It doesn't verify POW block rewards (due to the fact that I couldn't find a specific pseudorandom generator implementation that decides on randomized POW block rewards). I don't think this would be an issue as the main use case would be a Simple Payment Verification wallet, checkpoints will cover our security up to removal of PoW from MintCoin (though it will be nice to have the checks in place)

- Minting: It's now almost clear that minting would be possible even in SPV wallet mode. I will annonuce details later. I have to figure out validating PoS blocks first.

- UI: I'm just trying to get the pure library working properly now. Once the library is working, it'll be very easy to fork/make an Android App that uses it

- Bloom filters: Here is a request for the community: Current Mintcoin wallet doesn't support Bloom filters. Bloom filters allow SPV clients download only the transactions they're interested in (instead of all transactions in blocks), reducing mobile users' data usage dramatically. Please put a bounty on it so that someone can merge it from bitcoin client. Android wallet will work without Bloom Filter support in the main client, but its data usage would be much more.

you are a dead man walking.. jejejejeje

My posts must be invisible...

Have you tried to repair the wallet yet?

Type in the debug console repairwallet if that does not work use salvagewallet

Your blkindex.dat is probably from 1.6 or earlier. Since 1.7 is a hardfork, you need to delete all in config dir EXCEPT your wallet.dat and .conf file if you have one. Then start 1.7 or 1.8 client, it will sync from the beginning and you should be fine.

You must have used the old (1.6 or less) client to sync and passed the switch point (220000), otherwise 1.7/1.8 client will sync directly without any problem.

Which client type are you trying to run?  Mac, Windows, Linux?

Are you still talking about coins that you got on the other old fork version (pre block 220,000)?

Error: blkindex.dat appears when I try to open new download wallet. I also downloaded 1.7 to try that wallet, but it won't sync- any help would be appreciate as I am new to all this forum stuff.

Hello,
If you're using 1.8 wallet, you can safely ignore sync problems. Just hover your mouse on the "syncing" text, if it says last generated block is generated just a few seconds/minutes ago, then you're fine.


There are some rogue clients on the network that announce wrong block heights (they are people who did not upgrade to 1.7 or upgraded late, and still haven't noticed), when such a client connects to you, it confuses your client. Your client disconnects them, but the estimate on UI stays there. So it's really a display issue.

First let me say i am not a tech person at all. However the steps below worked for me.

I checked the .conf file in the new wallet and it contains different nodes from those listed elsewhere on the thread.

Ok so, I am having nothing but issues with this new wallet. Every time I turn around it stops syncing, I have to close and reopen. Then the coins I have minted will be lost. Is there a node I need or something I am doing wrong? I am really getting tired of loosing coins.

Her is my .conf

Still safe on top 100 too XD but roll down 8 rows

someone knows the Mh/s  / mintcoin payout ratio on hascows?

Yes this looks very promising. Indeed! I hope MINT will grab some value cause of progress done

it will go even higher! Just cryptomarket is quite affected atm.

This is great! People should use the MINT/USD exchange and give VoS some volume!

Yeah i was couting on 0.005 actually. Or aiming for it/woulda been happy with it.




(so... 0.0013 in 14 hours give about :



So yeah.. will definately keep looking for it. But like i said.. I can get more just mining doge and trading that for mint myself atm..
