Indeed - The People need to adopt this coin - so much potential.

I'll do my part.

I'm currently mining on a R9 290.
I'm using windows 7, with all the updates in the .net series, plus running the most recent (as of today) Catalyst Control Center program to manage my GPU.
I'm using "dtc.graymines.net" as my pool.
The address to get the mining software is here --> http://dtc.graymines.net
You'll need to configure your Datacoin address in the "dtc.config" "config" file - and if you're using a different mining pool.
The program you run to mine is called "xpmclient" (it can be used for both Primecoin and Datacoin - depends on the configs).


I'll help maintain a hashrate that would require anyone who wants to mess with Datacoin to pack a lunch. On top of what I have, I also have some old Litecoin rigs that'd more than enjoy being activated

And yes, anything you and anyone can do should be done.

Block explorers are very important - as are nodes - anything to move Datacoin forward to a brighter day.

Mostly we need developers to adopt Datacoin, developers to Love Datacoin --- to pick out bugz, continue upgrades, and most excitingly --- create programs that layer on top of Datacoin.

Data on indelible blockchains is key for The People to thrive.

Sent you some Datacoin

And not sure who owns that addy you mentioned - hopefully someone that can help get things back on track.

And I can help with a couple things you mentioned:
the Datacoin conf file should include the most current node listing, which is this:

server=1
addnode=198.205.118.181:4777
addnode=191.101.9.62:4777
addnode=218.24.154.38:4777
addnode=61.235.146.130:4777
addnode=144.76.123.194:4777
addnode=92.222.37.29:4777
addnode=80.74.157.31:4777


And I have a basic mining guide above (with newer AMD cards) - with one change - one needs to edit the config file not the dtc.config file. My mistake. There are additional instructions within the config file itself to explain what all to do. And I can do a step-by-step rundown if need be (note that the miner must be x'd out, not ctrl-q'd or c'd out, there appears to be a glitch in the program) - We apparently need a better miner to work with But to it's credit, it's working very well with my R9's, so long as I just let them whirl away

My offer to others for free Datacoin for developmental purposes stands 

All aboard the Blockchain revolution - giving the power to The People to publish their work on an indelible medium.

Struggling to get a connection from my laptop (Windows 7) but from my VPS (Ubuntu 12.04) everything is fine with 7 connections.

No active connections at all showing up in Windows wallet, using the same (+ other Nodes noted in thread) but nothing active. My VPS is based in a different location to laptop location (VPS is US based, laptop is UK based).

Do we have any UK based nodes?

Working nodes ATM:

Checked all with whois :-)

Is there some bugs that has to be fixed? It's a long time ago since I last worked on this project. Is there some pools up? Would be awesome with someone with good information.

One can currently purchase and withdraw from Bter, but not deposit.
We are going to get all Datacoin information compiled in one location and make it a turn-key operation for a group of devs.
When that happens, we'll all campaign to have exchanges take Datacoin.

Immutable information is key for a free and open society - let's all do our part to make Datacoin a success.
