- added a few checkpoints for current block chain + reenabled code that does the checkpoint checking

By curiosity, what are these checkpoints exactly? How does it work?

Look at src/checkpoints.cpp - there is basically a table of blocks where their height and corresponding hash is stored.
Each entry is a checkpoint and when the client rescans or downloads the block chain, it verifies it against those entries (i.e., there is no divergence to another illegitimate block chain).
Checkpoints ensure that the block chain stays frozen up to the (last) checkpoint.

it's still in "research-progress",isn't it ?

Yes, but why the sad face? research is fun Wink

I'd really like to have more transactions though.. we need games..

At least at the current scale, the rules implemented appear to work well.

I'll release some metrics soon.. The diff adjustment should work a bit faster. Multiple blocks per second should be avoided.
I also want to look into pruning the blockchain and adequate tx fees...

is out there for a while. Still, take it for the fun, you'll unlikely make any money out of this! Cheesy

Current diff is 0.038, harder but still feasible to solo-mine

What's the current diff? I remember throwing some hash at it for fun a day or so ago and it was already really high for a 'testcoin'.

Any progress?

Well - I am still playing around with difficulty and tx fees. I also left the max block size unchanged for now as I don't see any benefit to reduce it. Currently, the coin would support approx. 160tps i.e., 4 times higher than Bitcoin which is still small compared to real world microtransaction rates.

Nevertheless, I updated the code base w.r.t:
- max. coins corrected to 42 007 680
- added a option to dump block chain statistics
- added a few checkpoints for current block chain + reenabled code that does the checkpoint checking
- new icons (finally distinguishable from Litecoin)

The update is not mandatory but improves security.

Anyone creative out there?

Best until now:

The second hint helped.

No changes when i add smallchange.conf to dir where wallet.dat is.

Firewall blocking port?
and u did close and reopen client after adding to the .conf file right?

These lines must be put in the smallchange.conf file
I use linux so I don't know on windows but it must be create in the same directory as your wallet.dat
maybe C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Smallchange\smallchange.conf

Or you can also add them directly to the command-line with -addnode=

Are there any 'alive' smallchange pools up and running? Would be fun to try.

Difficulty is very low, you can solo-mine it.
