Awesome. We are going to be releasing a new optional client update soon. As well as some other new, very interesting news about where to spend your Spots. It has nothing to do with any of the projects we've recently announced, but it should be up and running within the next few weeks. Just waiting on a few more estimates before we commit to an order

If anyone thinks they are not synced, post an address and I will send you a small amount. If you receive the coins, you are synced, regardless of the display issue we are working on

Ok for those of you still having sync issues. I think some of those nodes are bad now. Erase EVERY addnode in your spots.conf and add ONLY THESE TWO:

addnode=p2pool.org
addnode=coinfreaks.com

I just deleted everything Spots related on this computer, added those two ONLY and it started syncing instantly. If this doesn't work, please post reply

If you are still trying to download 400,000 blocks, then it's a bad node. We will get it updated soon to ignore these. As long as where it says "Downloaded x of y blocks" and x is the current Spots block, you are synced. We'll update the client shortly to fix this since it seems some are still getting it. Current Spots block is around 70k, so the chain should download very quickly

I've had the same problem with other coin QTs. And............ I've finally figured it out. You just need to wait an ungodly amount of time, and maybe restart a few times and wait more. Eventually it works.

That's a sucky answer, but that's what I've found works. Sorry for the bad news. Sad

Not for me; other wallets are good and connect quickly. Spots wallet though: not so good :-)

I'm having similar problems as described above.

I've run the client on 4 different machines on 4 different networks, and while 1 initially sync'd, after stopping it and restarting it, it couldn't connect to any more than 1 peer before going back to 0 peers. Another machine was able to connect kind of. 2 other machines couldn't connect at all. I read the posts and used this config:

rpcuser=x
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8108
server=1
gen=0

addnode=96.2.111.139
addnode=67.167.228.42

addnode=108.185.218.246

addnode=p2pool.org

Does anyone know why this happens?

What more is to be explained?
Come on freenode on IRC and pm console i will walk you threw it step by step. The problem is everyone has been said and reworded 4 times, how can it be made any more clear? Maybe this product isnt for you. Find your way onto IRC msg me and ill step you threw it live, maybe even do it for you
on teamview if you beg me.

As I said previously:

If all of this was written clearly on page one, no one would take up your time asking questions and attempting to get clarification.

That's alright. I don't need the constant condescending attitude. No one was like this when I learned to mine protoshares and primecoin. People wanted new people to learn. I really don't get this business model here. You know, I also have a radio show and have been spending weeks trying to get my head around the entire cryptocoin thing.

It really, really sucks when you're treated like a new Linux user. Everyone needs to be on Linux - its free and promotes freedom, so we're going to give vague answers and be dicks when people want and ask for sincere help to get involved, causing more frustration and quitters than people who want to get involved and help to spread the word.

I can't get this thing to synch. I've followed the instructions... nothing. It hooked up to one other server for like a minute and then dropped that. I've added nodes, added files, etc... trying to follow the vague instructions provided.

Do we do the addnodes to the shortcuts of the qt, or only to some server file that we have to hunt down? I couldn't find a miner.bat file that you had referenced.

You put the addnodes in your %appdata%/Spots/spots.conf

Miner.bat is what you use to launch cgminer

Thank you. So I don't see a spots.conf file there.

BTW, I've always wanted to ask who decides that those files should be placed there? I have to move those files all the time and redirect them. For bitcoin they're 13-22gb, and when you try to image your system, it makes the files huge. It seems that users should be given the option on install where all those files go.

But I was trying to use the qt wallet to mine as on page 1. Is that not possible anymore? I've only mind a few coins, so I'm rather new to the whole process.

Where does one get the cgminer?

You have to make spots.conf to launch spots-qt.exe with -server

Ok, well thank you. But that's sort of vague. So then if I go to console and do a setgenerate true 8 or what ever, that won't work?

so I create a spots.conf file... what, exactly, would it say inside, just addnode=ip ? or are there other things in there?

How come these two files don't exist already just to synch the wallet?

I posted steps on the previous page yesterday. Here they are:

1) Make a .bat in your Spots folder that says "spots-qt.exe -server" without the quotes
2) Make a .conf file in %appdata%/Spots/spots.conf saying this to load your QT as a server:
(You can use any user/pass/port you want as long as they match your mining .bat)

rpcuser=x
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8108
server=1
gen=0

addnode=96.2.111.139
addnode=67.167.228.42
addnode=69.85.86.195
addnode=68.103.6.158
addnode=71.187.248.95
addnode=70.69.238.84
addnode=108.185.218.246
addnode=70.98.114.229
addnode=p2pool.org

Let it sync (it may take a while)

3) Make a .bat for your miner (or use config files) to point it to 127.0.0.1:8018 (or the user/port/pass you used in your config)

4) Make money!

Hope this helps

Yes, I already read that, which refers to an already existing mining.bat file, that you said is from the cgminer... I was asking specific questions above. I don't know where to put this miner.bat file, where to download the cgminor, etc. Previously the last addnode wasn't in the instructions - the p2pool.org, so that helps a little more.

It's like trying to get in and understand Linux. Everyone assumes you're an expert, and few are willing to break the instructions down to point by point so that everyone can easily understand.

But again, that didn't answer why those files aren't already in there, etc. I mean, I'm trying to understand why to create all these files and spend all this time to get started on this coin?

You have to do this for all coins if you want to solo mine them. After your first time, it only takes about 1 minute to do it for a new coin

Download cgminer and make a .bat with this in it:

cgminer -o 127.0.0.1:8108 -u x -p x --scrypt

It will launch cgminer using your wallet as the server if you did spots.conf correctly

Not to be a dick, but... http://bit.ly/19Irv3m

Not to be a dick, but as I said previously, I'm new to this. Only mined a couple coins, neither of which needed CGMINER, which is why I asked. I wouldn't know to google search that without the prior info. If all of this was written clearly on page one, no one would take up your time asking questions and attempting to get clarification. I was looking around for some .bat file that doesn't exist.

I very much appreciate you finally taking the time to be a little more clear with us newbs trying to mine this. Is this your coin? I would think you'd want everyone in so that it does well. Why waste time with poor instructions? A program that's not ready to use, or doesn't already have these files included in the zip? Seems a lot of wasted time all around. Allow you experts to scan through CLEAR instructions and allow the rest of us to go point by point. Raspberry pi in the Linux world seems to get that approach - so that millions of new users want to use their product. But I fail to understand the value in this vague approach and assuming everyone knows what you're taking about. Does it save any time? Whose? Yours?
