Haha - because I tweeted at him. I think I caught his eye.

Sorry, I am not so in touch at the moment. What is the problem with syncing?
To less nodes? Or nodes unknown?
I can (try to) help and organize more help with both.

Umm obviously the old clients don't contain the new code that allows them to do whatever lava coded them to do, so have to keep running on the old chain...
Everything that happened before the block so and so stays happened.. everthing that happens after block so and so on an old client doesn't ... at least to the exchanges and mining pools who have upgraded...

OK... You have the blockchain, which contains the transactions in blocks of data, obviously in a chain..
If two blocks of data containing the same transactions are added to the chain at the same time, one of them usually gets "orphaned"..that is the network accepts the block which is propagated throughout the network the fastest...
However, what can happen is a fork.. enough of the network accepts a block that should be orphaned and adds to it so then you have some of the network using one chain, and some of the network using another.. This can obviously be a huge problem as sending coins from a client on one chain is not recorded on the other.. This is why Cryptsy stops trading when a coin forks...
A hardfork does exactly the same thing..
Lava codes into the client when you reach block number so and so, instead of retargeting every 10000 blocks, retarget every 10.. Instead of running on the litecoin network, run on a new one.. use this as a new network alert key.. Instead of putting out 100 coins, put out 2 per block..etc..etc..
What happens is the new clients change at block so and so.. but the old clients don't creating a fork that is hard coded to occur in the new clients...
You can see why lava wants the client not to sync, forcing people to upgrade to the new client.. If too many don't upgrade then they will keep an alternate chain going..

A newbee question: what does hardfork mean? Are the currently bought or mined coin 100%save, when the hardfork is introduced? Thanks for explaining.

You've also got to remember Sexcoin is a "rescued" coin...
We didn't code any problems in, but we are coding problems out.. although at this point I'm not included in the "we". I just get the gist of it.. The client for the hardfork will really be "Sexcoin Version 1.0" , the first client the team would have put out if they had to build it from scratch...
What occurs to me is that we have a rank "newbie" complaining, and not only does he have the attention of the developers and community, but they are discussing it and gleaning what they can from it... I'd say that is a positive sign.
We are very early in the development. One thing I have discovered is people don't want to deal with clients at all. Your mainstream non geek thinks an online wallet is the best option for their coins, and there's a few that have decided not to get involved because they don't want to deal with software at all..

Organic,
I really do understand the frustration. One of the things that's on the 'roadmap' that I didn't include in my post was an installer for the client, with some logic in it for doing upgrades and things like that. ( Seems like a no-brainer in the windows world...but.... ).
And you really do represent an important point, we want anyone to be able to use sexcoin, especially non-geek-a-zoids. So first off, Sorry for the frustration, second thank you for bringing up the importance of still more work that needs to be done.
Last, I use 7-zip on my windows box. Its free, doesn't expire, can handle tar.gz too. Or, you could pay the winzip developers for their work.

How organic speaks, is inappropriate. Still, he raises two very important points:
1. The wallet must work out of the box. Sync issues can be very frustrating for beginners. And installing a fix is for the majority a challenge. I mean in general, not the people in this forum. Preferably, the wallet client has an auto update which also makes security updates before updating.
2. The language used sometimes is hard to understand for people who heard for the first time about cryptos, not to mention if it gets technical. At least for the new homepage, please use expressions which the majority can understand.
Both points are very important, if you want to reach the masses. Both the buyers and sellers who offer services or products. Glad to read, that improvements will come. Thanks for the good work.

I don't see much respect for others work here... Those that are rudely complaining about an altcoin trying to make It's place in this world, maybe should sell everything and stick to physical banks. I'm sure banks will be very interested in their complains.
By the way, I installed the wallet months ago and never had a single problem.
Keep the great work guys!

LOL, sorry. In the UK we have little shops that sell stamps and stuff!

LOL Sorry I am based in the UK also, no offence just my sarcasm
Well most people won't even bother to install a wallet on their machine..
DigDug is working on an online wallet for that very reason...
Let me make it as simple as I can for you :
Download this and replace sexcoin-qt.exe : http://www.sexcoin.info/sexcoin-qt-0.6.4.1-RC1-Windows32-NoLimiter.zip
I'm sure you know enough to google for a free program to unarchive a zip..
You go into the directory where sexcoin is, delete the old sexcoin-qt.exe, replace it with the one is the zip and hey, the wallet will work fine..
If that's too much trouble, feel free to dump your coins, I'll be there to buy them up..

Crack it on the opening line there!
Crypto currency is tricky to the un-initiated and whilst I'm not a rocket scientist I enjoy tinkering with the PC and getting it to do stuff faster, this is why I do it and not to make a ton of money (that is a side effect). I think a lot of people do this for a hobby.
I suggest you wait for the dust to settle when cryto currency can be bought at your local post office and buy some then.
:-)
(no offense, I understand your frustrations)
