The checkpoint warning is a standard throwback and most top POS coins have it. The main thing to do with all POS coins is to fully sync the wallet before opening it for POS minting. Another thing that might throw off novice holders of Peercoin-based wallets using Windows XP is the
"Error: Couldn't open socket for incoming connections (socket returned error 10047)". This error warning is another throwback that can be ignored. If any XP user wants to be rid of the error here's my post from the other Sprouts thread:
Help for Windows XP users
Some people using Windows XP have reported the
"Error: Couldn't open socket for incoming connections (socket returned error 10047)" pop-up when opening the Sprouts wallet. This is because the "Microsoft TCP/IP version 6" protocol is not generally pre-installed in XP (it is with Windows 7 and higher). While this is a common error and you can just ignore it, it is dead easy to correct. What you have to do is find your Network Connections Folder and add the listed "Microsoft TCP/IP version 6" protocol. Here's how to do it:
From your
[DESKTOP] screen,
click on the
[START] button in the bottom left hand corner. Then
click on
[CONTROL PANEL]. Then
double click on
[NETWORK CONNECTIONS]. Then
double click on the
active [LOCAL AREA CONNECTION] icon,
or the
active [WIRELESS NETWORK] icon for a wireless connection. Then
in the General Tab click on the
[PROPERTIES] button. Then
click on the
[INSTALL] button. Then
click on the
[PROTOCOL] icon so that it is highlighted. Then
click on the
[ADD] button. Then
click on the listed
["Microsoft TCP/IP version 6"] protocol so that it is highlighted. Then
click on the
[OK] button.
Wait for it to install. The [GENERAL] tab window will reappear.
Close all the open windows and you are done. No more 10047 error pop-ps!
This solution will also work on the wallets of other altcoins, running on Windows XP, showing the same, annoying "Error: Couldn't open socket for incoming connections (socket returned error 10047)" pop-up.
