Hmmm good point, never thought of it to be honest, as a pool operator myself I just thought it was common knowledge (amoungst pool ops) I'll get that info added asap. Thanks for the heads up.

NON-MANDATORY WALLET UPDATE: Version 2.3.1 is available for download.

---

Windows (x32):http://netcoinfoundation.org/Netcoin-win32-2.3.1.zip
MAC (x64): http://netcoinfoundation.org/Netcoin-Qt-2.3.1-Mac.zip
LINUX (x32): http://netcoinfoundation.org/Netcoin-linux-x86.tar.gz

We’ve released the latest version of the NETCOIN Wallet (Old was 2.3.0, newest is 2.3.1) that fixed some minor bugs and glitches that snuck through our beta-testing. However, none of these bugs were critical, which is why this is not a “mandatory” upgrade (but, we wanted to let you all know several improvements were made):

Wallet Single Crash After System Reboot:
We noticed that after you rebooted your system, the wallet would crash the first time you tried to open. After that it would open fine, but, we sorted out what the problem was:
Netcoind did not crash, however, it was down to the positioning of the pow statistics timer (go figure). We moved its position and no more crash.

Stake For Education (S4E)
We noticed that there were some issues with the S4E features that were limiting it's functionality and ability to send coins.
It’s been fixed.

Thanks! 

Ahh...thanks for that!  We'll get it sorted out right away!  As for Einstein...we can see what to do for the next iteration

New wallet is top notch, nice job, thanks!

Dev team:

please note that, at 'Wallets', 'Services', 'Exchanges', the middle option (NET/XRP),  has a pop-up message which refers to Bter/CNY.

Also, can you please replace Dr Nethead (the cartoon alien reptile) with Professor Nethead, a cartoon lookalike of Albert Einstein?

It would be a bit more adult.   

Is there any benefit to including a NetCoin.conf file

The older forums mentioned a conf file but there's only one mention in this forum and that's how to disable staking for pool operators.

You guys have been great here

 Please, if you haven't joined the Netcoin forum-- http://forum.netcoinfoundation.org/ do so today!

 Best way to show others you support Netcoin. Only a few more until 600 members, and I know for a fact more of you NETheads are out there..

NET is a SMART name.
What if there was a global p2p network of for and by crypto ... hmmm .interNET 3.0

Alright yeah it worked the second time after deleting the blockchain info.  Thanks a bunch

Hey thanks for that, great to see people spreading the word about Netcoin more and more. We'll never give up and keep doing our best to improve. The team has grown considerably over the last month or two, we have some real talent on board! The future is looking very promising indeed! Again thanks for letting people know.

The link has now been changed to the installer, you can try that... But if worst comes to the worst re-download the blockchain and that should solve your problem. Let us know how you get on.

I just finished reading the interview at bitcoinist.net, with netcoin member snappysnap:

bitcoinist.net/exclusive-interview-snappysnap-netcoin/




I have also written some posts about netcoin at internetcoin.wordpress.com

Did you update the Windows link in the OP?  Because I re-downloaded it and the wallet still keeps crashing on startup for me, just like it did before, I can't get it to load.

The netcoind issue was resolved earlier btw and we have now finished the mac wallets... We're just working on the linux qt's at the mo and should have them up soon... Please make sure you upgrade before block 530000. New windows wallets are up and it fixed the slight bug with the themes not giving you a default on first run.

Other than that all is looking good. Looking forward to seeing how POS is running after the hard fork... If you go to debug->console and type in getinfo you should see the POW and POS difficulty. you will notice at present the POS difficulty follows the POW difficulty. It shouldn't do that. After the hard fork this issue should be fixed and it should run much smoother (as in more POS blocks created).

We'll continue to work away on it though and we have some big plans for the future

Don't forget to try out the stake for education feature...

The NETCOIN EDUCATIONAL TRUST address is

nN5MEJR91iCt8B7JJ56V2SCu2hcdTf77Zs

All proceeds will go to NETUCATE... See details here...

Thanks guys enjoy...

Is anyone else having troubles withdrawing/depositing BTC from BTER?? or are they a scam-exchange site?

EDIT: Nevermind, it looks like they are a semi-new exchange site and they haven't gotten everything up yet, plus with a lot of BTC stolen from them

Wallet Devs have been notified (we also received your email). Thanks for your patience.  We'll get this sorted asap!

can't get new wallet to compile.

POS DIFFICULTY HAS BEEN UPDATED.

Netcoin was experiencing some issues with the timing of POS blocks.  They have now been set to 2 minutes (POW will remain at 1 minute).  This was an absolute necessary upgrade and why we are hard forking.

---

OTHER FEATURES ADDED TO THE WALLET

Added theme switching and made some customized themes
Added Personal Investment Rate (PIR) calculator
Added More stores that accept NET as payment and updated the existing stores/exchanges.
POW Statistics updates automatically
Stake For Education (S4E) added
Minor bug fixes

Netcoin (version 2.3.0) is now released and MANDATORY wallet upgrades are available to download from the front page of the foundation website (netcoinfoundation.org) The changes are already live on GitHub in the master repository. This update is mandatory and involves a hard fork on block 530000 which will happen roughly at GMT on the 2nd of March.

The aim of the new version is multi-faceted. First, we wanted to update the timing of POW vs POS. When PIR + OWI was implemented back in July, Netcoin went through a few weeks of blockchain lag, and despite smoothing out recently, we wanted to ensure the continued stability and security of Netcoin. Meee and JK (and several others) have spent countless hours analyzing block times, testing, and debating on what course of action to take, and running various scenarios based on several courses of action.

We debated about dropping POW...but after analyzing the potential outcomes, we felt keeping POW (at this time) was only to NETCOINS's benefit to increase the security/stability of the coin. with POW and POS running, an attack would require a 51% takeover of BOTH the POW and POS. The best possible solution was chosen and we have spent the last several weeks running this on the testnet in various forms to gather as much data as possible.

After block 530000 the following changes will come into effect.
Block time for POW will remain at 1 minute.
Block time for POS is increased to 2 minutes.
