Yeah globalcoin has gone all weird. The diff has been way too high now for almost no hash power on the network. I think it went in to repair mode after that 0.06 diff session a few days ago.

OP has been updated to discard some of the dead nodes. Will be working on the store all this week and should go live in the first month of 2014. Also a few updates to the homepage.

I want to run the Client to support the network. (my work PC is daily online)

i got today an out of sync error of my client. (4 connections)
Is there a new update? (Yesterday all was ok)

yesterday i tried the "detach database option" maybe is the database broken now? (closed without problems)

File->Exit the client. Update your globalcoin.conf file with the latest addnodes from OP (remove any others) and delete the peers.dat file from the same directory. Now restart the client.

If you're still having problems might be easiest to just re-download the blockchain:

Advise to backup your wallet.dat file before proceeding.

Exit the Globalcoin client and delete all files from within AppData\Roaming\Globalcoin but keep wallet.dat and globalcoin.conf in there, afterwards run the client. It should then begin downloading the blockchain and syncing your previous transactions, might take a while.

I am happy to announce that our database has been fixed, and our pool is back open.

http://GLC.DEDICATEDPOOL.COM is back from the dead!

Payouts have been issued to those who setup Auto Payments.
For those who have not setup auto payments, please come and do some manual payments to take down our wallet size, which is pretty large after that diff 0.06 from hell.

I've got a few more grey hairs and my wife hates me for spending the last 48 hours on this, but I did it and we're back!

Well I got the database all fixed up, but I can't get the wallet to sync to the globalcoin network. I've tried all IPs, deleted peer.dat, etc.. everything. Yes, MinerMike, I tried those source IPs too... it gets over 1000 addresses, and tries a bunch, but never connects even after hours.

Once the wallet connects and I can up date the blockchain, the server and pool will be back online and you can get your coins Wink

EDIT: Okay it was connected, just wasn't getting any new blocks. I deleted the old blockchain and now it's reloading the chain. Hopefully we're back up in 30 minutes or so.

Globalcoin is potentially broken.

I'm getting tons of these in the logs:

2013-12-27 5:33:39 - ERROR --> E0001: The block with height 178532 found share 3187719 which is < than 3188481 of block 178531.

2013-12-27 5:34:22 - ERROR --> E0001: The block with height 178532 found share 3188481 which is < than 3188755 of block 178531.

Shares are being sent to the miners.. just it looks very odd... no idea man.

Likely just an issue with MPOS, there was a fix posted 14 days ago: https://github.com/TheSerapher/php-mpos/issues/961

And from their error wiki:

Quote

Explanation

The findblocks cron has found a block which has a share ID lower than a previous block found. This can happen with fast block finding coins.

Fix

This is not a fatal error yet. findblocks will try to autofix the issue by changing the shares. It will re-order the shares so a following run should not fail.

You probably stumbled across this already, thought I'd post anyway just in case

edit: globalcoin.miners-pool.eu and globalcoin.chriskoeber.com are now showing block finders and shares, looks like MPOS autofixed it as mentioned above.

And now we see this for the last few hours:

At first I thought my site was broken somehow and I've been pouring through the cron jobs and code. But then I decided to check other globalcoin pools and noticed they are getting the exact same problem.

All blocks are unknown, est shares all off.. very weird. I've messaged The MPOS dev on IRC, but he's sleeping. Will check in the morning.

Shares are being sent to the miners.. just it looks very odd... no idea man.

Also we're only at block ~178k so that shouldn't be the issue.

You're referring to the change in block reward to take place at 280k? dunno if the hard fork was to coincide with that or if the fork just occurred now, would explain if it did I'm looking over source now.

Looks like were back to increasing difficulty as normal anyway.

Strange. Even if it were forking dedicated's fork should have a higher difficulty than that.

[Edit]
I think the hard fork that was scheduled for ~3 months into the future from mid October may have gone into effect. There isn't much documentation that I can see though.

This looks to be the case, the v1.5 hard fork going into effect with what appears to be a difficulty reset?

So after the hard fork and difficulty reset rejects were extremely high with the difficulty so low and the hashrate so high, new coins were not being produced at an abnormally fast rate or anything due to the rejects.

Should see difficulty re-adjust now as network hashrate is reporting at ~700,000 Kh/s were it was only ~50,000 Kh/s after the hard fork a few re-targets ago (due to rejects/stales). Though pools were at ~1,000,000 Kh/s at the time, rejected shares are not calculated towards the network hashrate? this would be why the difficulty didn't shoot straight back up after the hard fork, it had to go a few rounds to balance out rejects for the large hashrate. We'll see in less than 50 blocks...

Quote

-70 Million coins instead of 180 million coins,
-Block halves at block 280000, instead of 728000
-Diff Re-target adjustment set for 3 months

It's late and I'm tired but I didn't see any changes affecting difficulty in a skim of the change history of the source. Also we're only at block ~178k so that shouldn't be the issue.

Edit:

I think there was only roughly 1800 blocks generated over the course of the difficulty reset, that's only 180k coins to feed a 1GH/s network... coin handled itself fine, no need to panic at all. Hold strong lol.
