Excellent job, devs!

RECOMMENDED  UPDATE - v2.0.2

This is a security and maintenance patch for the 2.0 branch of MintCoin. As work towards the 2.1 overhaul is being extended, we are continuing to make adjustments and forward compatibility patches to our current release branch (2.0). Included in this release are a number of updates related to security. Though mostly edge cases, we feel it is important to include such patches for completeness.

SUPPORT FOR 3RD PARTY TRANSACTION URLS

Included in this release is optional support for 3rd party transaction URLs (Block explorer links). The setting is accessed from within the GUI's options window in the "Display" tab. Users can enter URLs to as many Block Explorers Transaction pages as they like and each entry (after restarting the client) will then be a clickable item in the transaction history's context menu.

This eliminates the need to manually copy/paste a TXID into a block explorer's search field. Some example URLs to include in this field are:



SECURITY / DEPENDENCIES UPDATES

• [f21ebad] Guard against OpenSSL's new strict DER checking
• [1696dc1] Miniupnpc 1.9 API compatibility
• [a5d130c] Fix invalid signature with crafted length (PPC)

CLI / GUI UPDATES

• [470bfb4] Optional support for 3rd party transaction URLs
• [2215305] Display the Berkeley DB version used in debug.log and RPC Console UI
• [e8e2d96] Clean up GUI Tooltips and status message handling

MISC UPDATES

• [a07643d] Add new DNS Seeder from Fuzzbawls
• [02eea6f] Update Windows Installer Support Files
• [2edf6f2] Update Checkpoints
• [2a9ac23] [8ba9d18] Update OS Specific makefiles
• [bca38bc] Basic Documentation Update

HOW TO UPDATE

Since this release still runs on the single-file database format, updating is a simple process of replacing your binary executable from one of the downloads from the downloads page. Please make sure that no MintCoin processes are currently running before replacing this file! Once the file has been replaced, start up your wallet/daemon as usual.

WINDOWS INSTALLER RETURNS

Windows clients now again have the option of using a self-contained installer (available below) to install MintCoin on their systems. The installer places the binaries in your Program Files folder and adds a handy Start Menu Icon for easy launching.

NOTE FOR SELF-COMPILERS

This release is NOT contained in the master branch of the MINT repository, it is in the 2.0 branch exclusively! The 2.0 branch contains backports from our development repos that were custom tailored specifically for the 2.0 branch of MINT. Rather than deal with a chain of rebases, we decided to branch off the 2.0 tree from master. The process for compiling this release yourself contains the additional step of making sure you have the correct branch (or tag) checked out.
Then either
or

All startup and RPC commands from previous versions, as well as conf file format remain the same.
All Images, Logos, and GUI elements remain consistent with previous 2.0 branch releases.

It's slow because it generates a block every 30 seconds that it has to sync.

One thing that usually helps speed it up if you don't want to use the bootstrap, is check on it every now and then, and restart the client every few hours or so. It might help. Otherwise just be patient. If you run it 24/7  yeah it will take over a week because it will individually verify every block...

Sometimes the GUI will lag and say not responding, but just be patient. If you check the Mintcoin directory for the blockchain file, you can watch to see if is growing bigger every few seconds or so. If you notice it isn't increasing in size after about a minute, with several connextions, then I would restart the client. This will push in a fresh set of nodes wich should help move things along if it gets stuck. Hope that helps.

Hmm is it easy? Mate I've been downloading for about a week and at 38% should I just keep going now? :/

Sorry for my google translate i have cheap VPS server for one year on ip v6 only and wanna know addresses mint nodes on ip v6.

Why does it take so long to download the blockchain 

Thanks for the quick help

this whole quote confuses me... I take it english isn't your native language? not trying to be rude, but it might help if you say what you're looking for in your native language

Is there a node coins based on ip v6. Write please them. Thank you.

well, put your wallet.dat back in after closing it... the block chain got corrupted

Renamed. Ran the mintcoin-qt.exe directly from its folder. Got no wallet found, option to import was presented.
Program menu was running - stopped the synch attempt...


( I now recall that my PC crashed while mintcoin was runing -sorry forgot to mention that)

try the following:

browse to c:\users\username\appdata\Roaming\

Find mintcoin folder and rename it to mintcoin_orig

Then attempt to launch the wallet creating a new directory (by renaming the folder you are backing up all the files there so they don't get overwritten)

let me know the results.

My Mintcoin Wallet is no longer starting.


Error it tosses is :

If you downloaded and installed Linux Mint from the distribution's website over the weekend, your machine has been compromised.

"Hackers made a modified Linux Mint ISO, with a backdoor in it, and managed to hack our website to point to it," said Clem Lefebvre, creator of the Linux Mint distribution, in a blog post dated February 21

much appreciated

I'd like to note that the address I provided is going to be difficult to track, as it is not dedicated solely to dev funds, and it's balance will fluctuate. It is NOT a staking address (ie, the wallet that houses the address doesn't stake at all)...

All of this is merely fluff and over explanation really as it is only a temporary thing until we can solidify new permanent donation addresses that will be dedicated for their stated purposes and will be able to be tracked for each and every deposit/withdrawal.

10% of my minted coins for this cycle sent to Devs

Thanks to whoever donated to CryptoID block explorer for MINT

Thanks bro, I managed to get it working, I didn't know 'peers.dat' was in a folder within AppData/Roaming/Mintcoin.. Redownloading the blockchain now
