I think a checkpoint will help where it gets stuck at block 5000 and you have to close and open the wallet to get it past that point, but it is a more basic check for valid blocks that is failing and will be solved by adding if statements to change the specifications as the chain does.

I like the rewards direction! Hope the Devs do to!

Anything that encourages using Tech would be great!

Out of curiosity, wouldn't a built in checkpoint be a proper solution?

I like the idea of the new thread.  basically, we will make it ours.
I got your pm and will check it out shortly.


What do we want to make the Techcoin project about?  One thing I have noticed from the people in the thread is that there is no reason to be just another copycat coin.  At this point I think we have the ability to steer this in whatever direction that we see fit.  My idea is to try to handle some of the inadequacies that are present in most, if not ALL, of the other currencies on the market.

First things first - What truly incentivizes users to use our coin vs all the other coins on the market?  We know how Credit card companies do it - they use 2 things: interest rates and rewards programs.  (let me just say that I am not a developer.  I know nothing about code, I am more of a hardware/networking guy, so if what I am saying will not work/is not possible feel free to smack me up)  As I have said before, I think Sync was on to something, except for the fact that their program encourages users to hold Sync and not make it a liquid asset.  

The Tech rewards vision:
current market issue - payment platforms specified to a single coin and not far reaching
1. develop a tech payment platform/pos system as a simple website plugin that would allow vendors to simply/easily integrate to their websites.  
2. the payment platform would accept multiple currencies making it more desirable for merchants to implement because of its vast amount of options - think veribit, but not just for Veri.  
3. This is where the rewards come in: When consumers spend TECH at a vendor with the TECH pos platform in place, they are sent a receipt via their wallet - not email - and along with that receipt comes a number of tech rewards coins/points - this can be done using colored coins as a starting point, but could eventually lead to redundant blockchain technologies.........  
4. A Tech internet store is built primarily for the tech rewards program, yet open to other currencies. (to allow the tech program to profit and thrive)  Discounts in the store are given for using TECH as a payment, and even further discounts - are given when TECH rewards are used as payment.  

TECH rewards are generated upon sale using the tech currency.  The rewards are not transferable and will only be accepted at the tech rewards store, where when used, will be destroyed - colored coins will allow this.


ok.  Sorry so long winded.  This is only a first draft, an idea, a vision.  hell, I don't even know if it is feasible.  But please, feel free to comment,  feel free to run with it.  It is not only my vision to help tech grow and thrive, but it is also my vision to help Cryptos grow/thrive/ and most of all be adapted by the masses.


(wipes brow)  whew.

Good suggestion!  Windows and Mac wallets are now both available on github in a package containing the blockchain, in addition to the original, seperate packages.

Technically, no, there's not really a problem doing that. However, I'd make it a separate, third option. Because I personally am picky about such things, and I doubt I'm unique. Plus, there are three major platforms involved, Windows, OSX, and Linux. All three would have to be separate packages, whereas with three wallets and one blockchain, it's not much of a hassle for anyone concerned. Let's face it, wallets are not big programs

at least having the blockchain there for download makes it nice and fast for people, is there a way to include it in the wallet zip? so it's just one download?

I'm up to 1400 TECH now... I'm hoping for a decent night of tips so I can buy another few K before price jumps, really not that many coins on the sell wall so I'm hope'n tonights a good night for me

We've hardforked the blockchain to keep it alive, and as a result it doesn't sync up past block 3 on it's own.  I've identified the reason this happens and I've found some code from another coin that did a similar hard fork.  We are working on getting the wallet back to 100% autonomous syncing, and then possibly integrating another future hard fork to return the specs close to the way they were originally.

Once we iron out the lingering bugs and release the next version it would be a good time to re-launch with a fresh thread to get people noticing that we're out of the woods.  I'll check to see what we can do about cryptocointalk - there might be a thread or something already.

right on

I did not, I just grabbed the wallet. I will get it downloaded and see if that solves the issues, thanks!

Shooting in the dark here without more detail, but did you download the blockchain that's posted in the OP? It SHOULD get you in sync in a few minutes time. I had some trouble building the wallet (thus the modified .pro file), but once I did and downloaded the blockchain, I was in sync in a couple minutes.

Anyone want to give a pointer or two? My wallet is perma-syncing without actually syncing. Debug window spamming about node connection timeouts. I remember having something similar with Darkcoin at a certain point a while back, but forgot how to resolve.

Just to check in, I am out of town on some training, so sorry I have not been available as much.

Also, I put my little quatloo guy on here for a bit tonight......... 

just to help out.   

Reposting techcoin on cryptocointalk might help and give awareness.

I'm trading back and forth when I have time, XAN bit me pretty hard so I'm trying to recover and am pretty short on btc atm or I'd be spending a lot more on trading fees

we definitely need more people tweeting about #TECH #Techcoin on twitter, now that we're past block 6000 and the blockchain is running smooth as butter like it should a little PR could go a long way.

did Techcoin project / community start a new thread when we took over? this is still the OG thread right? now that everything is fixed and running smoothly maybe it's time to officially "re launch" a new thread. and maybe do a twitter giveaway or something to get some much needed attention. I'd donate to a giveaway... 5 or 10 TECH (or something) per tweet to the first however many people... if we can get the right person to promote the giveaway for a set amount of TECH we could get a lot tech spread to new people

"It will be interesting to see what rich addresses are staking and transacting vs sitting idle."  since the blockchain is "intact" the people with original wallet sitting dormant on their computer can open it and sync up with the rest of us? that would be awesome

Do not let the TECHCOIN be excluded from Bittrex. We will continue creating daily movement of megociações.

I can not do it alone. Let's help?

RPC Ace block explorer is not as good as Abe, but it does include a separate rich list generator.  It's not something your gonna want to host as a live list because it scans the whole blockchain via RPC, but it could work to generate a one time list, or could be set up as a periodically updated list.  I would still like to find some way to integrate one with Abe since all the data is stored in it's own database and doesn't rely on the wallet other than to update it with new blocks.

A rich list would include everything from the very beginning because the blockchain is intact, we haven't had to start over.  It will be interesting to see what rich addresses are staking and transacting vs sitting idle.

my wallet has staked 18 times so far today. working flawlessly

I'd love to see a rich list for TECH would it include address' from the original wallet from pow? I wonder how many people got frustrated and tossed their wallet when the original dev ditched ? might be far less than 187k in circulation?

theres not really too much for sale on bittrex so I imagine most coins are in peoples personal wallets

only 90 more blocks till 6000, new wallet has been working great so far

Any help or pointers in regards to the block explorer and rich list would be appreciated.  I put together the block explorer using the latest Abe source.  It does not include a rich list, but I'm willing to hack away at it if there is any info.
