running windows 7 x64, gshift server running in background with this command :

gshift-windows-amd64.exe --shiftbase "0" --rpc --rpcaddr "127.0.0.1" --rpcport "53901" --port "53900"  --verbosity "0" console
IPC path in GUI wallet is set according to gshfit server



how do i run GUI wallet correctly?

You're using the old GUI wallet. Here is the last one: https://github.com/shiftcurrency/shift-wallet/releases/download/v1.0/shift-wallet-windows-amd64.zip

Besides, all changes made to the coin will always be specified when we release a new version.

Here is the step by step procedure to upgrade your wallet from 2.4.2 to 2.5 under Windows:

...

2. Type the command 'gshift-windows-amd64 removedb' (without the quotes and followed by Enter). You will be prompted to confirm your choice to remove the database, enter 'y' to confirm (without the quotes, and followed by Enter).

...


Does the blockchain database really need to be removed for the update??

If so, then why? What changes are being made in 2.5 other than block reward and block time?


No other changes are made beside that but given the complexity of the core parameters and their intricate relationship to block validation it is much faster and easier this way.

Here is the step by step procedure to upgrade your wallet from 2.4.2 to 2.5 under Windows:

0. Download the new client (version 2.5.0) here https://github.com/shiftcurrency/shift/releases/tag/2.5.0.

1. In order to execute this procedure, you need to be in a command prompt window. If you aren't yet, navigate through the Windows explorer to your new Gshift executable, hold the Shift key on the keyboard and right-click on a blank space. Release the Shift key. In the contextual menu, click on Open command window here.



The command prompt window is now opened directly in the folder of the executable.

2. Type the command 'gshift-windows-amd64 removedb' (without the quotes and followed by Enter). You will be prompted to confirm your choice to remove the database, enter 'y' to confirm (without the quotes, and followed by Enter).



Your old database has now been removed.

3. Start the client with the command 'gshift-windows-amd64' (without the quotes and followed by Enter) and wait for the blockchain to sync up. You're done!

Don't get it.. The update is good news, inflation will be cut extremely. Much less coins produced per day than before and people are still dumping haha

I'm buying at these prices xD

Please put them up somewhere (GitHub or Pastebin) and pm ShiftTeam a link.

Thank you!

Also, an interesting roadmap, quick and decisive action to fix the fork, activity on github and lack of fluff or BS in this thread tell me that there is enough commitment from the team to make this go somewhere.

One question about the block reward and block time change...

Will a newer version than 2.4.2 be needed?

Please post some more details. What's relevant for pool operators and exchange is probably relevant here.  Smiley


Well put and thanks for the nice words!

We are currently preparing the necessary info to help with the update. The process is fairly simple and shouldn't take you longer than a few minutes to complete.

We will also be around to assist and answer questions over the weekend Smiley

Done!

I'm fairly new to ethereum based coins.

Shift is interesting to me because of the chance to mine in the relaunch and relatively low difficulty compared to ethereum and expanse.

UPDATE APR 08: BLOCK REWARD DECREASE



We have reached a decision and will be adjusting to 2 SHIFT rewarded per block while simultaneously increasing
block time to 50 seconds. This puts us at ~2 Mill SHIFT mined per year (including uncles).

That decision is considering a lot of economic factors which play a crucial role like inflation, transaction volume, market
structure, stakenode rewards, chain bloat and long term development plans.

The switch will happen tomorrow, Saturday 9th around 4pm (UTC). Exchanges and pools will be notified in advance.


My miners will not be available until Monday! Sad

I've had problems with gshift crashing after running less than a day... This has happened 3-4 times. So many messages that I set screen to make a logfile so I could see when it crashed.

Code:
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal 0xb code=0x1 addr=0x0 pc=0x5f4a97]

... followed by more debug messages ... I can put them to github or send by PM perhaps.

gshift version 2.4.2
go version go1.4.2 linux/amd6

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Please put them up somewhere (GitHub or Pastebin) and pm ShiftTeam a link.

What news from Poloniex   Shocked

They don't give feedback about that. However, they always review the code thoroughly before adding a coin, and it may takes time.
What you can do to help is use their coin request individually and show your support (please don't spam them), or request it in the trollbox.

The Shift Team
We are working very hard. Most of it does not even show on github. For me personally(joey) im working 6 hours+ every day since relaunch. The premine is intact since the initial distribution to core members for their work prior to relaunch. We have 2.5M which will last a while. We are working with bleeding edge tech. This means that almost no experience of ethereum core code exists beside what the ethereum dev team has. They are not that positive in sharing their knowledge.

We are working very very hard.
   
Alas! Unfortunately, things do not happen just by work. I think Shift needs a little more promotion and demonstration of financial interest. In Bittrex has orders for purchase of 12-13 BTC. It is true that it is comparable to interest in LTC there , but LTC has stagnated and is presented in all markets. I think it would not be bad, which does have the free BTC, to show a little more interest.


Thank you for all the hard work! A good product doesn't need promotion, it sells itself..

We will deliver, you can count on that Smiley
