Ah that makes sense. Thanks for the update!

Poole worked all got their coins. Statistics module has been disconnected. Thank you for your vigilance, we have to fix it.

Nevermind... Looks like it was just a ridiculously long round on the network.

What's going on with pool.emercoin.com??

ATTN!

We noted, if some client did not refreshed blockchain recently, they can be frozen at block 138034, and fell into fork.

Currently we see, miner EN89GUMnE1jcEFTuvk4SoqnMhvtNMXtqgg is mining this fork.

Please, refresh (re-download) your blockchain! See instruction here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13107165

Right branch must have checkpoint:

getcheckpoint
{
"synccheckpoint" : "a99d10f28ada87075c920ec8929c52b7552a90b2d378af1e2fcd3f33c541a9b7",
"height" : 138085,
"timestamp" : "2015-12-09 02:30:50 UTC"
}

And, if you did not upgraded to 0.3.6 or latest, please download wallet and upgrade:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/emercoin/files/

Wallet resync on pool.emercoin.com?

Looks like a fairly steady bump in difficulty for EMC over the past week.

I found the resolve out.

If you want to register domain, and click the lock picture on the corner of right, you will got in wrong.

You should unlock on console and type " walletpassphrase " first, and register domains.

There is a confusion in the GUI
The solution is this.
1) Click on the lock - put the purse in closed mode
2) Next, create a name.

When I try to register a new domain, and show me this problem:

A fatal error occured. Emercoin can no longer continue safely and will quit.

UNKNOWN EXCEPTION
ppcoin in Runaway exception

What'e happened?

The new version fixes the problem:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/emercoin/files/0.3.6/

ATTENTION!

Previous patch worked, but not all.

All you need to check the top of blockchain: Enter the console getinfo



If you have "blocks": 137 264, or more, that's all right.

If less, then you need to reload the blockchain, before that in emercoin.conf

Enter a string:



dnsseed = 0
listen = 0
connect = 162.243.120.221

Then, when blockchain be uploaded, remove the added lines and run the client as usual.

Excuse for troubling.

IMPORTANT:
Please, check your wallet, by run command getinfo from console.

If you installed a new wallet today (1 day before rule changes), there is can be printed the error message:

warning: blockchain redownload approaching or past v0.3.5 upgrade deadline.

If so, you needed to re-download blockchain ASAP.
This is extremely important on a server, where is running NVS-based services like emcssh/emcssl/emcdns/etc.

See: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13107165

Another way, how to check your branch:

$ emercoind getblockhash 136405

correct answer must be:
75cddb58fb57022181f0ce8af7582864f32df37775de908c55350f8fb25c73c4

Or, just call "getinfo". Height must be >= 136718:

 $ emercoind getinfo | grep blo
    "blocks" : 136720,

how can we tell if we are on the fork right now?

> 2 days for a hardfork? thats horrible...

This is not planned hardfork, this is security patch. Thus, must be applied ASAP.

Moreover, if some user will not install new wallet right now - he has additional time ~1 month for install.
But, if so, he will needed re-fetch blockchain, even he in the right branch right now.

2 days for a hardfork? thats horrible...

It was attack on the EmerCoin blockchain, based on a vulnerability in the previous version of PPC protocol, related to altering some signatures.

The attack has been performed months before the fork date, when the attacker submitted "tainted blocks". The rest of the clients
on the network download those blocks from peers, and did notice the difference. This is how a "tainted blockchain" can infect a large number of network participants.

Thankfully, there are no financial consequences of the fork itself, the only inconvenience being that some customers were in a
"deadlock" state and could not go to the main blockchain branch. Re-downloading the blockchain from a trusted source has resolved this issue.

However, to ensure this issue is completely resolved for future releases, we have implemented a fix which contains new rules for the signature generation. This is bundled into our latest wallet software release. These rules are incompatible with the current existing ones, and will be activated Thursday, 03-Dec-15 00:00:00 UTC.

Thus, it is mandatory to upgrade your EmerCoin wallet before Thursday, 03-Dec-15 00:00:00 UTC.
Otherwise, you will be trapped into this "deadlock"  state once again - approximately 1 month after  Dec, 3, 2015.

If you in the deadlock state right now - you needed delete and re-download the EmerCoin blockchain. I.e. delete all files except wallet.dat and emercoin.conf.
If you happen to be on the on correct blockchain branch - just update the program itself.

Thank you for your patience while we address this issue and do not forget to save wallet.dat!

UPD: MAC-version is available, too.

@KhalDrago talk what you want but some of the features here are really innovative and different.

Although i dont have any EMC right now i've mined over 10k EMC sold for a good amount of BTC and am using two of the many services they offer emcssh, emcdns.

ive read rumors about EMC and their main exchange (livecoin.net) but all in all i've made some profit.  POS difficulty is ridiculous would take over 45 days to POS mint a block on average for me.


@namjar You have to create a file named emercoin.conf and add the line "addnode=104.238.236.163" to it. 

Then place the file emercoin.conf in the appropriate directory.

for linux should be place in /$home/.emercoin/

for windows i dont know something like C:\User\Documents and Settings\I dont know fuck that USE LINUX/UNIX instead.

I use mac os , no "addnode 104.238.236.163 add" in control.

How to add node?
