FWIW I reach block 29940 with version <1.03 (1.02?), albeit my ~/.solidcoin directory is 6.9 GiB in size. I'll try re-downloading the block chain from scratch with both "1.02" and 1.04.

Reached block 30800 in all cases, although 1.04 got stuck a couple of times (at blocks 6000 and 17600) and had to restart it. Going through ArtForz's transactions is CPU intensive (made my laptop shutdown a couple of times due to heat) but not a blocker.

so... any bets on how long till the dev starts claiming that the failure of soiledcoin was what he wanted all along? for someone with such delusions of grandeur, it's really the only sensible course of action left, imho.

Edit: huh, I killed solidcoind and now the directory is only 84 MiB.

The commit journals are cleaned up when the client exits.

Whenever I start Solidcoin 1.04 I get a MS Visual C++ runtime error: "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way." Is this happening to anybody else and how can I fix this?

sqrt(-1)?

Well, no, that's my perception of his intelligence.

Because the square root of -1 is imaginary, and so is his IQ.

LoL, you guys are mean. Nice one.

I can hear someone calling for his Mom right now.

I think he started believing his own hype. I think he genuinely believed he was badass enough to get away with the new license. That's why he hasn't been on here today - his world is falling apart and there's nothing he can do.

If SolidCoin is his world then my perception of how pathetic he is has just crossed into a whole new numerical domain.

Though it's digital, he's essentially been publicly humiliated. He had a 'strong' rep just 3 days ago, in spite of his cockiness his project was doing well. In just that time so many people/pools/exchanges have pulled out, the price has plummeted... that's a lot for a psyche to handle.

On a largely unrelated note, I haven't heard any SC/RC conspiracy theories yet, so I'm going to start one:

CoinHunter intentionally crashed his currency so he could carefully buy >100,000 coins at dirt cheap prices, then publicly step away from soldcoin or (and?) re-open it so the coins have value again.

Almost seems more likely than someone being that stupid.

That stupid though? I mean I know the internet does wonders, but.... damn.
Maybe he's actually 13 or so, that'd fit I suppose.

I'll be highly amused if it's an integer and a multiplier, it'll end up stuck at difficulty 1 for the rest of time, 1 * 0.1 = 1 in integer land, after all.

This is not correct. Bitcoin is under the MIT/X11 license which allows people to restrict or close it up as they like. Also, even if Bitcoin was GPL'd and they tried to pull this, their

Technically SolidCoin is violating the bitcoin license due to the removal of the COPYING file in the source distribution which has this text:

Quote

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in
all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

Not to mention the global replacement of the copyright notice of the bitcoin developers in all the source files to be 'solidcoin developers'.

I guess we'll soon find out how well SolidCoin's adjustment mechanisms work at difficulty 1 anyway, so it's kinda a moot point.
