Topic: STAR COIN [STR] - The coin with bonus STAR blocks - page 14. (Read 143753 times)

I downloaded the new wallet client, but the database is still stuck at block 777855.

Should I delete the old database files and let it re-synchronize from scratch?

Decent answer. thanks anyway. Why do not you want to become a member of the new team to support starcoin? Personally, I am not strong in C + + but versed in web design and have free time.
Also, I have a small amount of starcoins.

This. This is why I did a fixed build. I did it being in a simple hope that someone who is strong in marketing but have no programming skills would pick it and develop.

Many coins simply dream of being on a cryptsy. Starcoin seems not appreciate this opportunity

The community should decide to support the coin further or not by running wallet or not running. The holders could hire someone for part of their stakes, for example, if they do care. The coin has no team for almost 6 months already: the last update to the coin had been published on Jan 7 and it was a checkpoints update. At that time the PoS was already broken: the last PoS block submitted to the net on Sat Dec 14 12:49:20 UTC 2013. It had been delisted from cryptsy and then listed again in Feb. So, there is still quite a number of people who likes it for some reason.

Juts tell me please, if Gavin and company announce today that they quit the project, would Bitcoin die? Why do you think that the existence of a dedicated dev team is a must? I agree that it is nice, when the dev team exists. But still, this coin survived during 6 months without any developer support!

Then why do it. Or coin will have normal design and own team or do not need it and must die. Let worried those who are bought tens of thousands of these coins.
They can’t sit back and wait for something indefinite

Please note, I am not going to be a developer of this coin, I just released a fix that may allow the StarCoin to survive.

No. It was hit by the time wrap bug

so this needs a patch....

It has broken stake mining. The explanation is here and in the cross-linked threads.
The blocks of interest are #347385 and #347386.

Someone could be forking the coin with lots of hash.

Anyone have an idea what's going on with StarCoin?  As of this writing, the last block generated was 777855 approximately 5 hours ago.  Both of my nodes are on the same block, and CoinWarz also lists 777855 blocks.  Difficulty isn't astronomical or anything.  It's almost like something got stuck.
