Reschedule of Launch
As most are aware the mining pool of Sterlingcoin in final testing was not accepting valid blocks.
We have made the necessary fixes and are retesting. The stratums are working and accepting blocks and now we are setting CRONS.
Some will think that this was not necessary and we should in fact of released the wallets, however with 100+ pool users, we disagree.
Sterlingcoin will now launch on the 21st of September at 6PM GMT (British Summer Time or Daylight Saving Time).

ok so your not vampires
well i just lost 100 bucks. thanks a lot for sucking. even shit/scam coins can get their shit together before a launch that has been announced for how long...
This was not foreseen and we worked on the issue as best we could. Notifying the community of our progress and the issues we were facing.
These issues have now been resolved. The pool is being finalized as we speak. The block explorer will also be up for launch tomorrow and everyone can enjoy the next 6 months of PoW.
so you tested with the pools before launch and everything was working fine and then at launch it didn't work? Doesn't seem plausible. I could maybe see it if only your official pool worked because you had tested before hand but then other pools had issues. Also thank you immensely for your reassurance of the next 6 months of POW but very few mine for long duration's anymore as we all know there is no money in it and even if there was it does nothing for the people who rented hashes, to put on your coin none the less, as the contracts are short periods of time.
We didn't test with the other pools prior to launch as they would not be allowed access to the wallets prior to launch.
Tonight the other pool operators simply joined us in Skype and we shared debug information and settings to attempt to sort the problem.
As all developers will tell you when it comes to final testing there is something called 'Murphy's Law' and sadly this law applied itself to Sterlingcoin this evening.
