It is also called virtual memory or the scratch disc. eg. free SSD/HDD space is used as if it were system ram.

Also, some games/apps will benefit if you move it to a seperate partition or drive. At least some older ones did. heh..

XP's settings are identical.

@Hippie Tech

Yeah thanks for that, I did give it a go last night but it didn't help unfortunately, my suspicion is that for some reason it crashes on the first checkpoint, I have no idea why at this time, though in the debug logs it ends with date=

@V500

Yeah it turned out Big J's laptop that ran xp was just too far gone, so I did install xp on a VM and I also did try another coin and as you say it worked fine. So there is some problem with Netcoin there, we'll continue to work on a fix... As I said to hippie tech I believe it is getting stuck on the checkpoints for some unknown reason, so what I am trying as a temp measure is to upload the blocks and then download them to the VM to see it that will work.

By all means if you have a windows7 system you can try the same but if not just give me a bit more time and I will let you know how it goes. What you told me about the old chain makes me think even more that it will work... I actually did upload last night but seems the files got corrupted along the way so I am reuploading now. I have a pretty poor internet connection so that could be why.

I'll keep trying till I get some kind of work around though.

Thanks for your patience

EDIT: Bad news I'm afraid, in the end I made a shared folder, I moved the blocks from the windows 7 machine put them on the VM and it got in sync, yet still it crashes, going to play around some more with it though, I've not given up yet, also I have let WHO know so I'm sure he'll look into it a lot deeper than I can. One way or another we will get it fixed.

Yeah WHO is on the case now, he's got he VM fired up and looking at it as we speak, soooo fingers crossed that part will be fixed up soon. We will be having an update to fix all the other little niggles too. Moving to POS was quite the deal XD

But have no fear, we'll get it all straightened out as soon as we can. You're very welcome

great stuff. Thanks.

Where could I find source code of this updated version of Netcoin?

I found:  https://github.com/netcoinfoundation/netcoin 

sweet! You're reliable. Crashing-error doesn't occure anymore. Downloading chain now. If you don't hear back from me you can assume everything is fine. Thanks for getting it fixed. Netcoin, go!

Translators Wanted

Hey guys

So we have a little favor to ask of you. We are looking for some wallet language translators. Should be fairly easy. We would really appreciate anyone willing to help.

For more details and a picture, please visit here: http://forum.netcoinfoundation.org/thread/742/translators-wanted  

We currently have English, Dutch and Russian.

Thank you.

You'll get paid randomly. Staking is somehow like PoW mining it depends on luck to find a block.

Hi,
