More into that block decode error, I captured some additional logging that may help

2014-08-08 16:39:38 [Pool]  [tekcoin - sha256 (pos)] (Thread 1) rpc error with daemon instance 0 when submitting block with submitblock {"code":-22,"message":"Block decode failed"}

- So far, growth has outpaced inflation.
- 30 days is a long time in the cryptoworld. Many don't have the patience to stake.
- Low, consistent POW reward.
- At any given time, many coins are parked on Cryptsy likely in cold storage.
- Coins do get lost.
- Some who hold TEK won't, can't or will forget to stake.
- Increasing difficulty will eventually limit POS rewards.
- Increasing utility, distribution, value and velocity will undermine staking.
- If all else fails, the code can be adjusted to compensate.

Can anyone tell me what version of the block template TEK uses?  Is it v3 or v4?

Thanks

Did you set up your config file?

Not necessarily.

Make a text file called tekcoin.conf and copy the text with the nodes into it, and put it in your data folder. In windows that will be users\username\appdata\roaming\tekcoin

That's a hidden file, so make sure you show hidden files before you go looking for it

Actually what makes it afloat is the demand! If you look at it as a software miner with predictable amount of coins mined every 30 days - then it is better then some hardware that will mine less as the difficulty goes higher and also you can invest as much as you want and get exactly 40% so you don't have to spend 10000$ on the hardware miner... you can just buy 10$ of TEK// also you don't have to wait for hardware to be actually made and shipped to you// TEK is fast// No electricity bills to pay as if you had hardware miner that works 24/7...
 
So the DEMAND forms from people who wanted to mine and buy miner, but are smart and BUY TEK instead!

Peace to to you people

Try this I pulled all my current connections off my wallet server plus nodes posted by others.

OK managed to find half. That got the ball rolling. Should be synched soon enough.

How much longer until staking fixed?

This works if there is a cap on coins. I read in one place it was 100 million coins. I read in another that it is limitless?
