Great job devs, you rock!! \m/ 8) \m/

If i wasn't on the verge of being kicked outa my home(by the fiat money bank criminals we've all learned to despise), then id load up on so much GLD cryptsy wouldn't know what hit it. And the little GLD i do have, im proud to hold it knowing you guys are behind the scenes, building a safety net that'll catch gldcoin if anyone ever tried to knock it down. Kudos guys.

Which platform and 32bit or 64bit?

Also can you put the contents of your debug file (under the appdata folder where your wallet is) into http://pastebin.com

and give me the link?

Note also, that if you are using the daemon, then you will need to install QT (if you haven't already), as we make use of some of the time functions in that library.

win 7 64 bit

Please http://pastebin.com/ your debug file for me,

I'm heading to bed atm, but will look at it tomorrow. I'm currently testing on win 7 x64 as well, however I don't have any such issues.

You may be on the wrong chain, try deleting all the files in your appdata folder except goldcoin.conf and wallet.dat and start your client.

Yes thats the trick to solve the problem, but the dev team is looking at it to solve this small problem for some people.

The developers have identified an issue with this update which is causing network chain fragmentation. The solution has been found and a maintenance update is now being prepared for release. Please stay tuned for further updates.

I am also downloading new 0.7.1.2  client. It will take hours before network chain fragmentation is resolved. Always make backup of wallet when installing new client.

My client was also stuck for a long period with one block remaining but it has just resolved and now my client is syncing. I have been informed by the DevTeam that it might take several hours for the network to reach a consensus.

The new client rejects blocks if they happen to trigger the 51% defense, no more than 6 blocks are permitted per 10 minutes regardless of their origin.

When I was on the latest client out on Thursday, I had a balance of 3000+ with an unconfirmed balance of 5000+. I backed up my wallet and upgraded to 0.7.1.3 and now my balance in 675 with 0 unconfirmed. I tried putting my backup dat file back and it still the same.

edit. The new client is showing I have 602 transactions. All i have been doing is mining.

If the coins were mined while on a side chain they will not be valid on the main chain. It sounds like you were mining on a fork.

I am in the same boat, I had 6 7950 solo mining all day and all rejects.
I did stopped mining for now.

Sometime in the next couple of days I will put up a tutorial on how to use pywallet.

Your wallets could very well be stuck on transactions that never made it to the official chain among other things.

I will show you how to use pywallet to completely "clean" your wallet of all transactions, and force client to rescan/index everything.

For those who cannot wait:

https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet

REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR WALLET...TWICE     ;)   BEFORE USING THIS TOOL ON A WALLET FILE.

Use to to completely delete all the transactions (NOT THE KEYS) in the wallet. Then start your client with the --rescan option.

again ... USE THIS TOOL ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE MADE A BACKUP(COPY) OF YOUR WALLET FILE, IN FACT USE THE TOOL ON A COPY OF YOUR WALLET FILE AND SAVE THE ORIGINAL.  :D

The window between to mine blocks is too small.. this will be resolved with the 103000 fork within 24 hours or so.

Please be patient, you will be able to mine very soon. In the mean time ensure that you have updated to 0.7.1.4.

Post by: coinerer on November 05, 2013, 02:46:04 AM
one good advice after installing new update og GoldCoin wallet:

you should always check and update username and password in your personal *.bat file (windows mining .bat file) or similar batch file for linux solo mining, because of the new GoldCoin wallet update changes your personal rpcuser and rpcpassword in your goldcoin.conf (that is good security measure)
