I'm not able to run the wallet. After that notification it crashes. Looking in the AppData\Roaming\tekcoin folder I have deleted the "blkindex.dat", but that doesn't resolve the issue. I have tried to delete everything, except wallet.dat, and have file "blk0001.dat" that will not allow me to delete it. So at this point I'm about to safe mode and scrub the .dat file.

Make a copy of wallet.dat and tekcoin.conf, put them in a safe place.

Reboot to make sure that all wallet processes are stopped.

Delete EVERYTHING in the tekcoin folder.

copy wallet.dat and tekcoin.conf to the folder

restart the tekcoin-qt client.

last step? Wait. A while. It can take several hours to sync Tongue

There is also a bootstrap available which will shorten the time. I personally favor syncing from zero, but I'm paranoid. Your mileage may vary on that Cheesy

This fixed it. I had to pull the HDD to delete the "blk0001.dat" file, but now its doing its thing. Thanks.

Apparently HYP had a security problem with PoS. Anything that can affect TEK?

Time drift perimeter allowed someone to tweak the wallet and stake into the future, giving them an advantage. Presstab's beta fix had an unintended side effect of lowering overall POS difficulty thus creating many extra coins. The recent hard fork apparently corrected the issue.

TEK traditionally, or rather lately, has much lower stake difficulty, so there's no real advantage to staking in the future. However, a patch to this vulnerability should be included in the next fork. And I hope to see "unlock for staking only" command in the GUI menu as well.

Probably. Once Presstab's code is fully tested, I am going to talk to him about how to implement it in tek. Not sure I have sufficient skill, but if I do, I'll let y'all know. even sans the vulnerability, it will be nice to have more efficient CPU usage for staking.

The issue has been resolved.
It was a sendmail problem.
Altcoinpool now sends out confirmations as it should

Anyone else having trouble editing your settings on the tekcoin.altcoinpool.us site or is just me?

make sure you close the wallet before deleting
that is why you are getting the error

Backup your wallet, delete blkindex.dat and let the wallet sync

Have not checked in with this coin for a long long long time. Price has gone way down. But wonder what you would have been compensated with stake over the downfall?

Are there any good PPS or PROP multi-pools..

because the PPLNS reward system like ispace has is only paying out to one person.. ispace.. and I assume the others are the same.. I know coinking is..

And I'm just assuming ispace is PPLNS based on the fact that when you stop mining your "unconfirmed" dwindles to nothing until your only paid out about 1/4 of what it said. They don't actually advertise their reward method for some reason.....

Hey Thundertoe, now would be the best time EVER to get an official tekcoin pool working. Ispace are theives, and the rest of the choices dont look any better. Maybe set fees at 2% to help pay to start the pool and then slowly reduce it.
