Thanks a lot for the suggestions,
I'm downloading the torrent now. The wallet is empty (just started now). Downloading the Bitcoin chain toke forever (3 days), but fully sync. Strange is that the error comes while getting the credits chain. I also deleted it complete and tried re download it...same issue.
Anyway, will let you know if it works with the torrent.
Thanks again!

I would definitely go for the torrent download.

As mentioned elsewhere, work is ongoing for a fix to this issue. The error message means that you have a corrupted database that holds the state between Bitcoin and Credits. To be more specific it's the directory bitcon_chainstatecla in the working directory.

As a side note - there's a welcome bonus of 10 CRE once you have the wallet in sync. Send your address here and I'll send it over. Or, you could register on the webwallet at http://creditswallet.info and I'll send the bonus there.

Thanks for the welcome bonus:

Stability release version 0.9.1.51 inbound!

A stability release that is meant to get rid of the dreaded "claim tip corruption" error is due to be released tomorrow. The release also contains sync speed improvements over earlier versions.

A reindexing test will be run and as soon as it has been verified to work a release will be done.

Work is right now ongoing on major speed, disk usage and stability improvements and are scheduled for the following release after this stability release. Watch this space.

UPDATE:

The first ever Credits gambling website is almost live, for all you users that like to risk their Credits for a possible return Wink

It's provably fair, and is based on the code from bustabit.com

I'll let you guys know when it's ready

Sounds great! I'll be sure to check it out once it goes live Grin

Is the hashing algorithm ASIC resistant?

Yes, I would say so, it is (probably) completely incompatible with current implementations of ASIC miners for Bitcoin. More specifically, You need to be able to specify the exact length of the header and the position of the nonce in it. This can as far as I know not be done with current generations of ASICs, since they are created specifically for Bitcoin or similar coins with the exact same header. Credits block header differs substantially. See here for more details:
http://credits-currency.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=635

However, it is not ASIC resistant as such, if someone puts the effort into creating more generic ASICs, or a specialised version for Credits, it is totally doable. That's why the coin has the deposit system that it has, to move miner requirements away from processing power and on to deposit power.

Somebody get this man a brain transplant.

Hahahaha Wolf!!! That's some funny shit right there mate

I like that lmfao But seriously it would be nice to use some ASICS to mine this coin that's for sure..... Just saying...... lol Wink

That's what I would like to know because I wouldn't mind getting my mining on if this coin is because I don't have any Nvidia Graphics cards and the computer I have with my AMD graphics card is out to lunch right now and my laptop can't mine any of these coins to save my life lmao

GPU miners source added to official Github account, enabling Linux GPU mining!

The updated sources of ccminer and sgminer, adapted for Credits, have been added to the official Github account.

Sgminer can be found at https://github.com/credits-currency/sgminer.

Ccminer can be found at https://github.com/credits-currency/ccminer-tpsp.

This will enable GPU mining with Linux as well as Windows. Both versions have been verified to work with Linux, but the miners have to be built form source, prebuilt binaries have not been created yet.

For questions, visit the official IRC channel or the forum listed in the initial post.

Awesome!

Now I imagine tons of folks will start mining.
Difficulty is still pretty damn low and anyone with GPU's should grab some blocks.

I hear exchanges are being contacted so we're likely to see it officially listed somewhere soon

Installed the wallet last night, downloaded the Blockchain torrent while I was sleeping, and syncing the remaining blocks now. Looking forward to jumping on board with all of you!

Just thought I'd say hello

Welcome Trenton.

If you want to get started mining with a GPU there are instructions on http://credits-currency.org/viewforum.php?f=18. The instructions are lying a little since the source for the miners are out now, so GPU mining should be possible on Linux as well.

There's a welcome bonus of 10 CRE once you have the wallet in sync so just post your address here and I'll send it over.

Join the IRC listed in the OP, it's well frequented and people are usually helping out with any problems with regards to the coin that you may have.

Again, welcome!

Awesome, thanks for the additional info! My address is: 1Fs1E8FMEX1NwGZD7uJTTeDpjZE2bNPmg1

I'm stoked to be a part of this

Welcome Trenton! Nice seeing you from bustabit.com

If you have any questions feel free to ask, I'm available most of the time on these forums and on the IRC channel, #CreditsCurrency !

Have they figured out ASIC mining with this coin yet? I see it says SHA256 for the algorithm so I was wondering if anyone figured out how to mine it with ASICS yet?

It may or may not even work with Bitcoin ASICs.

Hmmm weird why would that be? I figured if it was the same algorithm that it would be able to be mined with the same hardware used to mine that algorithm no?

Midstate is WAY bigger, I would think - when you've more than doubled the size of the block header, that means you've got more blocks that need to be processed with SHA256's core block compression.

Ok, bonus sent to you. Used the web wallet that's listed in the ANN OP. Quite useful, register an account there if you want to.

Alright, I got it. Few more minutes and I have the torrent. Thanks again, also to everybody, for the greate support (it would be good if other coins also have such a good comunity!) and for the welcome bonus (will come back to it as soon as I get it working).
Hope this coin would proceed on the good way of development.
Cheers!

Sounds good.
Read through the instructions here, especially the part regarding making files editable recursively.
http://credits-currency.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=517

Also, one final word of advice - be careful in force shutting down the wallet. It is probably working on updating the blockchains. If output is coming continually in debug.log in the working directory, then everything is probably working as intended.
