Does that have to built from from source?

Apparently people are using the -qt client, that is GUI.

-MarkM-

Is a GUI client being created?

Anyone pulling network stats yet?

It shows the IP as 98.193.75.196

How do I go about changing this?

Are you pointing them to 127.0.0.1 port 9902?

Ok well it shows i have 8 connections and a bunch of other stuff. The leads me to believe it is running. What confuses me is why my 2 7950 gpus via msi afterburner are at idle.

It's running. Open up another cmd prompt and run something like "ppcoind getinfo" and you'll see output as it connects to the one running in the first window.

I'd appreciate it if someone could spoon feed me on how to set this up. I've spent the last 2 hours and am stumped

I intalled the ppcoin client. I see it in my appdata/roaming folder

I created a ppcoin.conf  file
inside i put

rpcuser=ppcoinAMDFTW
rpcpassword=a string of 10 numbers and letters


I saved the file, and try to run the daemon file
cd..\daemon
ppcoind


Nothing happens, its as if the cmd prompt freezes

Ahh, thanks!! Will try tomorrow

This is certainly different enough from bitcoin to be interesting.

Open a second cmd.exe window after running ppcoin.exe in the other. Run "ppcoin.exe getinfo" in that other window and you should see something come back.

Daemon is right, for daemons. -server though is I think something for the GUI app to make it also accept rpc connections or something like that. I don't use it with the daemons, and that might be precisely because it doesn't work or does like you are seeing.

-MarkM-

I launched it like this:
cd
ppcoin.exe -server -daemon

Is that correct?

Unless you mean a GUI window of the GUI (-qt) version, it sounds like you started ppcoind without telling it to become a daemon, thus the commandline window you used to start it is still connected to its input and output instead of being freed up to await your next command...

-MarkM-

Launched the executable from the command line, set up the config file right, but I'm not able to type commands into the window, no typing shows up... did I do something wrong?

Finally, a real non-scam altcoin! I'm not about to endorse it just yet, and time will tell if scammers turn it into a scamcoin, but it looks promising so far. Maybe if it keeps clean I'll even add support to Eligius in a few weeks

Also, I've created a branch with the latest bugfixes from Bitcoin-Qt 0.6.x.

ahh yess... thank you sorry my mind hasn't been in the right place lately... i've got a horrible short position that is in the red at the moment on a bank and the falling btc price didn't help either...

anyway here is the log:

Thank you!

The difficulty is constantly adjusting, so it's current value is fairly representative of the total hash power.  Plug in the current difficulty (346.33 at time of posting) into http://allchains.info/calc.html to see you expected generation rate.  Currently, a single 5870 should find a block per hour.

I built the "bitcoin-qt" (yes, it is still named that) version so I can see the generations and time to maturity.

You are using normal mining, right? Not scrypt?

-MarkM-

EDIT see post just above this one; supposedly that newmint figure means you HAVE mined coins. Have you done listtransactions to see unconfirmed ones?
