It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency,
since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site;
Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in -
your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency
so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.
I got it to work eventually but it's just a pain in the butt overall and not pleasant and easy to use at all. A lot of things are really impossible to think of yourself and there is no documentation readily available. Thanks for the help dreamwatcher!
@Sunny king: I think this adding the debug window should be on your todo list for the next update Would be awesome!
thx, but i can't really get it to work. If i open the PPcoind file the command opens and closes right back up after a flicker of text that i can't even read. I've tried opening another command but if i type ppcoind help it says that that command isn't recognised. I'm not a computer expert so i don't know what i'm doing wrong
My PPC directory is located on my D:\ disk and command starts on C:\ by default. Anyone knows how to change that so i can find the file that way? CD.. doesn't work
Open a command window by entering cmd in the start menu search box.
enter d: on the command line to get to your D drive
Code:

The easiest way to get setup for command line entry in windows is to add the : server=1 to your ppcoin.conf file located C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\PPCoin.
Start up the PPCoin GUI and open a command line from the search box.
cd into wherever your PPCoin install is and get to the ppcoind file. You should be able to enter commands like outlined above.

i have a very important question that is quite pressing to me.
i can't find a debug screen (like in bitcoin and Litecoin) in the PPC client. How do i access it if it is hidden somewhere else, and if PPC doesn't have a debug screen, how can i get to know my private keys?
I'm clueless at the moment, help would be appreciated!
The current version of PPCoin is based on a version of BTC before the debug/console window was added.
You will need to use the command line ppcoind daemon to get/import private keys:
In Windows ppcoind is normally located in C:\Program Files (x86)\PPCoin\daemon or C:\Program Files\PPCoin\daemon if using a 32 bit version of windows.
Linux is essentially the same instruction wise, except one only needs to start the daemon once with the --daemon switch.
Quoted from a post of mine in a older thread:
Quote
With Windows you will need two command line windows, one to start the daemon in and the other to issue commands. You could also start the GUI version, and open one command line window to issue commands.
Window handles the daemons different then Linux. If you start a daemon in the command line window, it is essence becomes that command line window, unlike Linux which will put you back at the CLI if you use the --daemon switch.
So with either a command line window running the daemon or running the GUI version with the server=1 option in the ppcoin.conf, start a command line window in the ppcoin daemon directory and just type in:
ppcoind
The commands for import and export of keys:
ppcoind importprivkey [account name]
ppcoind dumpprivkey
If you have an encrypted wallet you will need to unlock it first with:

I have some issues with my ppcoind server. I got a 'segmentation fault' error almost every day. How can I fix this? I have other alt-coins servers running and they don't have this issue. What should I do?
Thanks!
Are you using the official build or your own build? If you can get the core and use gdb to see if we can get a stack on it.
I downloaded it from the official website. I use the linux version "v0.3.0ppc-beta". Thanks for the quick reply :-)

Practical temporary solution: send one satoshi (or even zero, if that is possible) from every block to a publicly known keypair (which everyone can install in his wallet) as the first txout of the coinbase txn.
You can't send less than 0.01 coin. But anyway, it can be used as temporary solution and should work well, if you agree to pay this "fee" for each block.
After some discussion with some bitcoin developers, it should be possible to just pay zero PPC to a dummy TxOut that serves as the key source. And even if that shouldn't work for some reason, 0.000001 PPC is definitely possible.
PPCoin is not Bitcoin. Bitcoin has no limitations for output size. PPCoin has enforcement rules, and there is no way to override this behavior without chain fork. But with chain fork there will be no sense to use this workaround.
Ah, damn, you're right, CTxOut::IsEmpty() also checks if the script is empty.
For those of you needing a new pool now, I have mine up and running over at VuxilsPool.comvpool.me (different pool than vpool.us, which has been around for a while). My pool is PPLNS based and can help some of you who are having no luck with coinotron. This pool should serve pretty well until we get some more advanced stratum pools in the future based off of Seven's work.

Maybe, try it on testnet to see if it's a good workaround for p2pool.
Would be awesome!
