If I recall correctly. you did a good job with GLD forum before the 'troubles' ! (we need to make sure that CGB Talk gets off to a sound start)

we have backs too:)

Merc said he will be updating the client soon

In case this helps Merc: it does not solely seem to be a Debian issue, I am having same error on a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

Yeah, unfortunately you'll need to delete the blk0001.dat, blkindex.dat and peers.dat files in your data folder and download the block chain from start (don't touch your wallet.dat file).  I'll narrow down the issue soon and get a new client out.  It doesn't seem to be a major hiccup and I've never heard about it until now, and I've definitely not experienced anything on my Win machines.  But I'll definitely get an update out by next weekend or so, with updated checkpoints as well.

 


As the projects build out and gain more participants, the price will take care of itself.

Just a quick question about the PoS blocks; are they added to overall the tally of blocks?  What I mean is say when the blocks were at 144,000 and all of a sudden a couple of thousand blocks of 'staked' coins were generated, and the number of blocks then jumped to 146,000 (am going from memory that the reward halved at 145,000) does that mean there are actually less coins created than first thought, or is there a mechanism to know the currant number of coins separate to the number of blocks created?

The BTC price is affecting CGB again. I think I'm gonna take the advice and not look at the price till next year

I was thinking about this, so how does this go? BTC goes up, everything else goes down. Then BTC crashes and everything else goes up and then BTC goes up again in a more sensible way?

Because the exchange rate CGB/BTC is based on BTC.  Just look at it using numbers:  1/10 , 1/100 , 1/1000 = .1 , .01 , .001
You can see as the denominator (bottom number) increases from 10 to 100 to 1000, the overall number gets smaller.  

But the dollar amount is still looking good:   http://coinmarketcap.com/



Yeah, because strong holders take up the supply so that the next leg up has less selling pressure.
