What the point of spending time updating the wallet when the coin isn't being mined.
Tried solo mining for a bit and got 0 block and 100 rejects.
cgminer.exe --scrypt -u x -p x -o
http://127.0.0.1:9888 --queue 0 --scan-time 1 --expiry 1 --gpu-platform 0 -d 0 -w 256 -v 1 -I 11 -g 1 -l 1 --thread-concurrency 6144
Check debug.log in folder ....user\...\Hotcoin maybe you find reason.
Common problems:
- your time is not set properly (info in debug.log blocks mined to early or to late).
- you are not connected to network (no peers).
If your debug.log is very big (and therefore difficult to read) you can delete it (or only remove content file) .
Will be re-created after hotcoin-qt.exe start.
Time in debug.log is in GMT (UTC).
1. Sync your computer time example according with
http://time.is or use NTP. It is very
important step.
2. Check how many peers (computers) is connected to yours wallet, if little or none.
BTW you consider doing this. You can open your wallet Help->Console
and put
getpeerinfo to get adresses connected to your Wallet.
You can copy this adressess list and compare to bellow and add to this list addresses from your wallet.
But this is not needed
Replace your node list in hotcoin.conf file (please backup old file)

this is for good start. Remember about restarting hotcoin wallet.
BTW If RPC client (minerd, cgminer) is connecting to wallet hotcoin process not close. You must stop cgminer first.
Wait few minutes until (3-5 or more) peers will connected to your wallet.
Currently I have 8 active connections.
3. If 1. and 2. not help and you don't find good reason in debug.log, please try
CPU mining (CPU is very preferred):
a) setgenerate true in Help->Console
b) minerd (or similar) insted
ex. minerd -o 1.2.3.4:9888 -u x -p x -t4
-t is number of threads (according to CPU specification -
BTW if you have poor cooling CPU better is decrease number of threads - check CPU temperature)
I don't have GPU to cgminer.
Network accept one block per 2 minutes so you must have many luck to dig
but it is working.
