Hey, just restored to a wallet backup and everything is a-okay. Still though, that is a bug you might want to look into fixing... for users who don't do wallet backups. Sad

Hmm can't do much without further info though this is first report of this kind but I'll keep it in mind. How did you send the transaction? Through 'ppcoind sendtoaddress' or some gui wallet?

The transaction was sent through the PPCoin Gui (qt), and I just used the regular send action. If you want I can dig up the txID, but I doubt it's on the network as a restore to my old wallet backup showed my old coins...

ok thank you for that rubberduckie, for some reason your simple 5 lined response worked. I now have a client and ive started mining with pheonix.

couple of issues:

1. should I use the same settings as bitcoin mining within my phoenix bat file? I cant seem to get device=1 to work, simply crashes when I put both in the instruction line.  at the moment I use this:

phoenix -u

http://PQBv6xTcYb5ZTs2pRRxZSmjBYCxYmFSRJs:[email protected]:9942 -k phatk VECTORS fastloop BFI_INT -q 3 AGGRESSION=21 WORKSIZE=128 device=0

2. when mining it does not display my speed (kh) is there a reason for this... apparently I am doing 0 kh but submitting shares

3. when mining with ppcpool i am getting alot of no work idle errors, will adding a higher -q value help?

4. when do the ppc actually go to my wallet?


I should have mentioned this is a dual card rig non crossfired. cant seem to get two instances to work either. anyway below is what i am currently getting... as u can see theres plenty of idle time and note 0 speed

Give me a minute i'll look into it.

I've updated the link in my first post, turns out I forgot to include the libraries needed because QT doesn't do it for me :S.

Has anyone else had an issue with your wallet saying you already spent the PPCoins you are trying to send, after freezing, then appear to have sent the coins? Are they really sent?


Edit: after waiting probably an hour, the transaction is still unconfirmed, and it doesn't show up on the other end. Any ideas as to how to get these coins back?

Hi Vorksholk,
  Could you PM me your getinfo and listtransactions output and I will take a look at what's wrong.

windows 7 64

try downloading the client https://sourceforge.net/projects/ppcoin/files/ and the gui http://dl.dropbox.com/u/75013537/PPCoin.7z.

unpack them into the same folder, then run the PPCoin QT

You'll need to create a conf in your appdata folder or just pool mine with cgminer

something like:

cgminer  -o http://ppcpool.us.to:9942/ -u PPCoin address -p cheeseburger farts --auto-fan --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 940,890 --gpu-memclock 950,300 --temp-target 72,65  --temp-cutoff 85,85 -I 8,8

Ive tried my best at following the instructions to a T for installing cgminer and the client, i cant open either... i cant get an address and i cant mine. is there a way of using pheonix miner and also can someone talk me through in simplistic terms on how to get the client running.... im having no luck watso ever.... all i get are either conf files not found with cgminer or a blank cmd screen with the client.

if uptake is gna happen things like the install need to be made simple like ltc and btc

Windows or Linux?

ppcoin gui http://dl.dropbox.com/u/75013537/PPCoin.7z

strange thing : sync with bitcoin block after it finish with ppcoin block.

That's because some of the peers/nodes are currently using the same protocol as th
e bitcoin nodes, but it should be fixed by 6PM UTCi

2. Where can I get the client and miners for PPcoin... and are they GUI based?

You can use the GUI client or the daemon, whichever you prefer
For the mining software anything usable for bitcoin is usable

Hi, still need help starting to mine? Difficulty is rising quickly so pool mining may be the way to go.

I like this pool http://ppcpool.us.to/  It's easy to set up and has low stales.

#1 Get cgminer http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/
#2 Download the ppcoin 0.2.0 client http://sourceforge.net/projects/ppcoin/files/
#3 Install and run the client. It's located within the daemon folder.
#4 Start a command window (in windows go to start and type in cmd). Then go to where the client is installed on your hard drive. Use the "cd" command (without the "") to change directory. Example: "cd\" will take you to your C: drive. Then "cd program files (x86)" will get you into your program files folder.
#5 Go into the daemon folder. Example: "cd program files (x86)\ppcoin\daemon"  from the C: drive
#6 Type in "ppcoind getinfo" and hit enter. If you started the client before it should output some info about your wallet and the blockchain.
#7 Type in "ppcoind getnewaddress". This address will be your username at the pool and your payment address.
#8 Run cgminer and enter "ppcpool.us.to:9942" for the pool URL, the output of the getnewaddress command is your username and the password can be whatever you want (it's unimportant).
#9 Go to http://ppcpool.us.to/ and look for your username (address) in the front page after a while. You should have submitted shares. If not, there's a problem.

Hope this is through and clear. Smiley

Edited for clarity.

Edit #2: The Koolio told me in PM that I won the bounty but has failed to pay out. In addition The Koolio threatened to steal whatever bitcoins I have if I posted what happened. As a result I've requested a scammer tag for The Koolio. My request can be found here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-koolio-112427
