I got a response from Cryptopia this afternoon. They say the coin is being delisted. They say there is multiple forks and it has become a support problem as users on other forks are complaining about lost deposits and withdrawals. I can't blame them. I have mined this coin since day one, but I don't see any way forward with the loss of this premium exchange.

Who knows? People didn't just choose to mine the wrong chain. I had all the nodes under the sun in the list including the ones on the exchanges and the wallet did what it wanted. This is just bad code it appears. Seems kinda of irrelevant know. I don't know of any exchange on the current chain so where you going to trade it?

Hi guys,
So which nodes are 100% valid for now?

I have asked them to reconsider but so far no response.
And I am still out 20,000 coins+, a lot of mining for FASquared. Hard to trust a coin that fffs up that bad.

From my perspective there was clearly only one valid chain. It's too bad people decided to mine the wrong one. I feared this was going to happen...those who were mining the wrong chain...perhaps knowing it was the wrong one...complaining about loosing out. The other chain has not been mined for over 45 days last I checked.

Cryptopia says they are going to delist the coin because of the unstable network. I don't blame them. I sent in 20,000 and it just went up in smoke on they way there. This is not the way any coin should operate. There is no trust and I am out a bunch of coins.
Hmm, they seem to have closed the market too, which means:
1) People can't sell GLC
2) People can't withdraw GLC (even if Cryptopia allows it, the network may not)
So what happens to our GLC balance on Cryptopia?
I was able to withdraw. No issues.
Had 1 addnode network. Now the count is 2.

Thank U to the cryptoid team.
GLC is in better shape than it appears.
Fire up one legit 'seeder' node + cryptoid + a pretty website (last I checked still up) = things are survivable.
if Cryptopia reconsiders the delisting that be nice too!

Their site says:
"GLC / BTC market is closing Wallet has multiple forks, due to this Cryptopia have decided to delist GLC to protect its customers from losing funds"
But you can still withdraw your coins if the network works. No sign of the thousands I sent in, got a whole of balance of 2 which I sent in yesterday as a test.
My test deposit to MegaCrypton did not work, neither did my test deposit to Yobit so who knows what chain they are on. Now there seems to be nowhere to send coins to sell rendering this coin pointless which is quite a shame.
Prohashing.com's explorer showed it was mining it, and had their addnode in the record. I added it but connections were rejected. I had hoped if I connected to a bunch of the nodes that the wallet would resolve the fork but appears to be no connections to be had. The chainz explorer is now off line as well.
It seems we are done. I will probably leave the wallet up for while to see if anything happens but it appears my thousands of coins are lost (swearing heard in the background).

Yes it is probably a waste of time and electricity. The code in the wallet has reached it's limit. I have been able to only send 325 coins recently, and higher I get a crash. This coin is effectively dead, killed by bad code.

Well things are a real mess now. It appears at least two forks are being actively mined. Crytopia was on one fork and then 5 days appears to have flopped over the other. This is becoming a fools errand mining this.
Yeah, I've been doing regular test deposits, and Cryptopia is all over the place - sometimes the deposits clear immediately, sometimes they take days to appear (probably when they flip chains). I've given up trying to guess what's going to happen and have ceased mining this coin.

how much does it costs to hire a programmer to fix the problems GLC has? i have quite a few GLCs.... so its kinda in my interest to get it fixed.....
From a quick look at the source it seems like GLC is a fairly standard PoW coin, with a couple of difficulty retarget algorithm changes at blocks 15000 and 179860. It should be possible to fork the source of a similar, actively developed coin, then change the necessary parameters to suit the GLC network.
But... I don't think that just updating the source would be sufficient. We'd need to make some other decisions like adding PoS, possibly changing PoW algo, rethinking mining rewards (which are currently almost worthless), etc. Maybe even something a bit painful like a coin swap, because the blockchain is getting fairly bloated.

Actually maybe not. They are moving a bunch of wallets to a new server and Globalcoin is one of them.

Looks like there may be probs at Cryptopia again. Test transaction, 1 hour, 75 confirms, not yet showing.

I know c++ very well. I know to tweak for any coin. Is this anything the community needs to me? I'm glad to offer my work.

I think that all attempts to release a new POW Wallet is a waste of time and fusion.
Just hire a freelancer C ++ and the after month, he will put GLC on the POS. Just think how much energy and effort you will save.

Mining doesn't work right with 1.5.4. I think it 's more likely Aliens will come down from the Sky and offer you a Baby Ruth bar than a new client will ever be released.
I can try compiling a Windows client with uPNP enabled, but I'm concerned about the lack of stability in the current version. When I installed it on a new server recently it crashed pretty fast and hard; I ended up finding an older source file. So things could get confusing if I release a stable client that has an older version number.
Hmm. Now that I look more closely at the differences between v1.5.3.0a-Beta and the current source, it appears that adding uPNP support is one of the changes, so trying to compile an earlier stable version "with uPNP" is pointless.
