incoming 0.99 smc about 1 minute ago



it must be cryptsy delaying then?

I figure it is because I deleted the old smc wallet, and deleted the smc address I normally use with cryptsy,
so I reason cryptsy delays when there is changes like that. If I had been using the same old smc address I always used then likely it would have gone through quickly.

By the way, do you know if the old smc wallet will still send/recieve smartcoins or not?

I am wondering because I gave a friend of mine, some smartcoins ,but they are not very good with computers,
so I was thinking of sending their coins back to me temporarily,
and then installing the new smartcoin wallet.(after I delete the old wallet on their computer)

I don't feel all that competent about installing the new wallet, with the old wallet still present on the computer.

Where does the new wallet folder go? Into the old wallet folder?
It has been a while since I did this, I can't remember all the steps.

Sorry, that doesn't explain it to me very well.

trying to install a new wallet when the old wallet is still on the computer,
with the old wallet having coins in it,
and trying to make sure the coins get recognized by the new wallet and transferred to the new wallet.

That is where I have had some troubles in the past. I would like to figure this out more, and write a blog post about it.

There are two things that "wallet" can refer to here. One is the whole program launched by running smartcoin-qt.exe, involving the downloaded files and the data folder that either already exists or is created during start-up. This is a wallet in a sense that it opens a window showing the balance, which allows for sending and receiving payments, keeping an address book, and viewing details about the full transaction ledger.

The other "wallet" is the wallet.dat file, which is in the data folder, and is a part of the broader software application. This file contains keys and addresses, personal data which allows the program to identify your specific balance and transaction history. This should not need to be generated more than once, and should not be updated. If an old wallet.dat file with a balance is saved somewhere, then downloading a new SmartCoin wallet release zip file (the one containing the program that runs everything, not the identifier) on a brand new computer and placing the old wallet.dat file in the data folder before start-up should sync the wallet with the previous balance intact.

I think that one of the most important things to know is that once there are coins sent to a local computer and seen in the application, the wallet.dat file is the key to being able to access them. As long as it is saved somewhere, even if there are problems with forks, exchanges, or sync issues, if the system returns to working order eventually, the coins could be restored from that original wallet.dat file. This is also be used as a basis to print a paper wallet, which is a physical analogue of wallet.dat.

Everytime 1 of my rigs (290) finds a block for this coin, i get this:


It continues to scroll like this until i stop and restart sgminer.  My other rig (280x) keeps on going just fine.  So far I've only seen it happen with SMC.  Any ideas?

I am mining directly to the wallet in a solo setup.  2 GPU rigs, 1 with 4x 280x, 1 with 3x 290.  I have the wallet running on a PC which has a 260x and is also mining it.

I've noticed that if the waiting for work message is scrolling after finding a block on the 290 rig, stopping the miner on the 260x wallet PC allows the 290 to resume. 

here are the configs for each:

260x:

I just requested an SMC withdrawal from Cryptsy and got it in 3 minutes.

Have been thinking about maybe writing a simple & user-friendly mining software for inexperienced SmartCoin users. What do you think?

Hi, Are you managing this site? Specifications are still outdated. Anyway, I've also added SMC logos with white fonts which can be downloaded here https://imgur.com/a/zNriX
