i am looking forward to solcoin!

Block explorer up: http://solcoin-explorer.tru.io/

Some more small news available in the first post of the main thread.

The first pool is up and running: http://sol.updamoon.com/

The trouble with the Windows Qt wallet has been fixed and an updated version is available for download.

One of the ideas behind this is to see how large an interest the community has in helping out with carrying a new cryptocurrency (pools, nodes, and so on). We're standing by the initial plan to supply the bare minimum of a block explorer and P2Pool of our own in due time, but daytime jobs have first priority, and we need to sort the Windows wallet problem first - as we can't manage to replicate the "crash upon minting coin" problem some users experience we also haven't been able to figure out where the problem is hiding, so it's taking more time than is desirable but we're getting there slowly.

We do plan on getting in touch with Cryptsy and CoinEX to probe their interest in an initial exchange introduction, but not until we see that people's interest has remained after we update with a proper Windows wallet that works for EVERYONE.

Regarding the pump and dump problem, we don't see any way this can be avoided with any currency, no matter what. Just look at Dogecoin and Mooncoin for example, but also contrast them to some coins that didn't have an explosive interest or minting in the start, like Globalcoin and Krugercoin, which are traded with something else than a steady declining graph even months after their introduction. Another idea with this coin was that while it has a high volume cap (600+ million), it shouldn't have an explosive influx of coins right at the start (again, compare with Dogecoin and Mooncoin of which there were hundreds of millions just days after launch), but instead build up over long enough time to at least try preventing pumping up huge numbers and dumping by miners who keep confusing quantity as a sole indicator of value.

We're not throwing this coin away. Check back with us.

What are the draw cards of this coin? Why should we be interested? Games, shops, multipool resistance, etc.?

There is very little info on where you want to take this coin and that generally leads to pump and dump, I ask not only for myself but having this information would help bring support for your coin... or detract from it if there is no plan...

Going with Qt5.2 instead of 4.8 was definitely a mistake and it's the reason the Windows wallet keeps crashing, but the coin, the nodes and the network is entirely stable. We're building the Windows wallet against Qt4.8 in a few hours and will make it available as soon as possible.

fair launch... I thought I would never see one
 
thanks you

Looks like it's a messy launch with lots of crashing
