check the 'network traffic' and the 'peers' tab. 'In: 0' usually happens when you either don't have a port forwarded back from the firewall, or you don't have listen=1 set.
Green lines on the traffic graph is incoming traffic.
It will still sync and function properly with 'In: 0'.

From my desktop installation, been using it for months now:


EDIT* On wallet not budging... probably because of the "header's first" download method. When syncing from being offline for a long time, it will still download headers first. You can look a the debug.log file to confirm that stuffs actually happening. I'd like to get better reporting back to the GUI, but that's a bit down the road.

v0.10.4.0-2067064 (Aww, shucks thanks!)    

I've installed 10-40 over the test version which I last used in February, I have

and the wallet doesn't seem to want to budge from there.

Should I start afresh?

*edit* Have received 170 MB while typing, so something's happening...

If it helps at all I've created a tiny URL to point to your post:

congrats with your new wallet!!!

Looks great! Thanks CC!

Update:

There was an error in the recent bootstrap file we released which caused clients to jump to network downloading prematurely.

The corrected bootstrap file is available for anyone wanting to download it in preparation for the release:

https://github.com/sexcoin-project/sexcoin-bootstrap

The bootstrap file is ONLY BLOCK DATA. We haven't officially released the new client.
It is available so you can download it in preparation for the new client.

From the README: https://github.com/sexcoin-project/sexcoin-bootstrap

• Download bootstrap.dat.gz OR bootstrap.dat.zip from github or mirrors.
• Verify the integrity of the compressed bootstrap.dat file with the checksums.
• Decompress to obtain bootstrap.dat.
• Put it into the Sexcoin datadir. This is the same folder that contains wallet.dat and the blocks folder.
• Delete bootstrap.dat.old when syncing is finished if you wish to recover some storage space.

If you are starting a brand new client, you may need to:

• run the installer
• start the client just long enough so that it builds the directory structure
• shut it down
• copy the bootstrap.dat file into the data directory
• then start it back up

DO NOT USE AGE VERIFICATION UNTIL THE NETWORK EXHIBITS SUPPORT!!!!!

Whipped this up real quick and added to the faucet. Anyone is welcome to use it.

Best of luck with your venture!

EDIT: It is 728 x 239, not a 'standard' banner size. But it is a start!

After hearing the complaints we discovered that the site was broken for mobile devices, which explained a lot. We're working on getting that fixed up.
Jury is still out on switching back to the old site though.

Thanks!

Have you guys decided on the design of sexcoin.info?

Sorry to bring the old beaten up question.

Way ahead of you! We're putting a 'merchant spotlite' together for you on sexcoin.info.

Guys I am traveling at the moment and not responding to the direct messages fast enough but her it is

I would love to have he site promoted on the Sexcoin Maine website I will get a banner made. Or if you could use the main page picture we could use that for now until I get something made.

The same goes for free sxc website. I will give you a nice 40% coupon for one item from the store for having my banner on your site. Thanks!

And I will get a spot on bitcoingarden when I get back to my place.

Thank you guys for all your support. We had our first purchase and lots of visitors. Let's keep this going this way.

Once I am no longer a newbie I would be able to promote Sexcoin and the site with pictures of the products here.

No changes to the Sexcoin prices. This is our commitment to the Sexcoin buyers!

I've had a number of general inqueries about what some of the more esoteric features we are getting as a result of going to V.0.10.4.0.

Most of this information is valid for Sexcoin:

https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.10.0


The most notable exception is the faster blockchain download. Bootstrap will still give an advantage for Sexcoin because:

• Network traffic during blockchain download taxes our existing nodes.
• Network traffic during blockchain download can put an unwanted strain on people with metered internet connections( 700M bootstrap compared to 1.6 Gig blockchain)
• 'parallel' downloading of blocks isn't really valid because of Sexcoin network's size, which is orders of magnitude lower than bitcoin and litecoin
• Because Sexcoin retargets every block, compared to bitcoin's and litecoin's weeks of blocks, Sexcoin validates difficulty on each block, this causes Sexcoin to periodically 'starve' during network downloads
• Most existing nodes are holding a record of orphan chains all the way back from when sexcoin was first released. See above.

Sexcoin does use the 'header first' method, so when sexcoin's network is more robust network downloading will be faster than bootstrapping. We need 100's of nodes for this to be effective.

#Sexcoin
Welcome https://vk.com/sexcoin_ru 

Oh cool, I thought I was doing something wrong. I got nada done yesterday. At least my node is up and running. Still seeing mostly 0.6.4 peers though Since I have been using Tor or VPNs to log into server, I decided to hold off on fail2ban for now, will check the logs in a few days to see how often the dictionary attacks are occurring. I usually use DenyHosts anyway, it's just what I learned first. For now, I turned off SSH password auth and disabled root login. Don't get me wrong, this account isn't anonymous enough to be government-proof, but I'm trying to improve my opsec nonetheless. I still need to set up monit or run sexcoind under supervise, but I'm assuming the software is stable enough that it can wait until my next TV show binge (I usually do light work while I'm binging)

Off topic note for people: If you sign up at vk.com (to follow the sexcoin pic group there), make sure to use your pseudonym from the get-go. They seem to be stricter than facebook in some ways. I signed up with my real name just to poke around, since it needed my real phone number anyway, went to change it and it requires moderator intervention since they want real names. No way they were going to accept Ac0rn Soup. I deleted account but they don't actually delete it for six months and since cell phone is primary log in I couldn't sign up again. Tried my google voice number, numbers from burner app, wouldn't take any of those numbers. Looks like I'll need to buy a prepaid cell if I want to sign up there with my pseudonym.

good work on sorting hte problems out lava, we all appreciate your hard work

Update: ... SOON^TM...

The new client is ready to go. Here are some things we've been waiting on:

• A last minute issue cropped up with building on Linux 16.04. This has probably been worked out
• There are a couple of large pools that have not adapted yet. We really wanted them on board before we released to users
• I've had a report that sync time on the Mac client is off the chain. I think this has been worked out.
• People using the Age Verification feature before mining support was in place still concerns me, but we may just have to deal with it
• The issue with Livecoin and Cryptopia caused us pause. This looks like it has been worked out.

I'm working on the final documentation for the release. Its basically a collection of all the UPDATE posts that have trickled in over the last few weeks. When that is done we will release.

I want to thank everyone, both old timers and new blood, for all the support you have shown. Sexcoin has been more than just a project for many of us and your patience and interest are valuable assets to a coin that has been working hard to create its place in the economy.

THANK YOU!
