how many connections do people have? ( i have 40)

Hi thanks for the interest, A thread will be posted in the coming days where users can trade GLB. Additionally, We will be selling some in the coming days/weeks to back Globe up with BTC and LTC.

Krabby, If you want the challenge read : https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/149479.0 and https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/252931.0

Good luck (If you run into the issues i have your probably going to need it)  

I compiled it on 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 with the usual alt-coin dependencies, with one new (to me) twist.  Apparently this coin (and freicoin, which I've never complied before) requires a library for arbitrary-precision binary floating-point computation.  So I found it necessary to install:


and then I was able to compile the Globe linux-QT client successfully.

change it to scrypt, asic coins suck ass

I like to inspect and compile from source whenever possible.  Inside a VM.

Also, sphere, I think you need to fix the checkpoints.cpp file in the source, it looks like it has leftover freicoin checkpoints:


I'll bet that could be causing some of the problems upthread (e.g. inability to use external miners) if you compiled the binaries with those checkpoints.  My compiled client expected 37800 blocks from the outset and kept trying to sync even when it had all the blocks.

Ok thanks. Yes i will resolve the checkpoints issue later down the road. Just need to get some traction regarding use going first. Whats the point of having good checkpoints if no-ones using right? thanks again. If you want to fix the checkpoints issue and upload it onto Github I would be more than happy.

Ok going now. Will try and sort out checkpoints issue this weekend so those with external miners can start mining and get a exchange post up and running. If anyone has issues please try and help each other out.

I'm not sure how long you have -- guess it depends on the difficulty algorithm and how fast hashing power piles on.  The lowest "incorrect" checkpoint is 10080 and the Globe blockchain is already at block 1200 after just a few hours.  Plus you need to leave leeway time before block 10080 arrives for everyone to replace their current versions with updated versions of the client.   You don't necessarily need to add "good" checkpoints, but you need to delete the bad, inherited checkpoints and redistribute binaries ASAP, I would think.

Good luck!
