Hi. I know difficulty is high, but is normal having a machine with 4200khas/second

In the past, i generated a bunch.

Im not firewalled, also, i reinstalled many times bitcoin, every versión, i updated too. Also im in 75043 block

The worst thing about bitcoin (at least for me) is the fact you CANT test if all is fine, if youre generating coins without problems.

This is actively being worked on. Not sure on timeline, but it is in the works to be sent out either with the program or as a standalone program.

Yeah, I’m having similar results. I’ve been running a self-compiled Linux build on a machine with roughly the same khash and haven’t generated a block since mid July. Of course, it was a broken Linux build for a few weeks of that, but I’m running the latest SVN version now and still no luck.

Make sure your computer’s date and time are correct.

lachesis August 20, 2010 04:14 UTC Source ·

My time is correct, and my debug.log shows nothing out of the ordinary. I’m stumped here, guys!

kosovito August 20, 2010 14:12 UTC Source ·

My computer have date and time correct.

I uninstalled bitcoin, i deleted absolutely all files, blocks, debug, ALL, except of course wallet.dat.

And a reinstalled, i hope this can be works.

A question, can be wallet.dat, make any problem??

Search debug.log for “proof-of-work found”.  If you find any, then check for any errors right after that.

How big of a margin on the time is allowed for things to work right.

The margin is 2 hours.

This should be solved in SVN rev 141 and the next release (0.3.11+).  It’ll pop up a message box alerting you if your clock is off by more than an hour.

I am experiencing a similar problem. Win7/64 official build. Already delete everything (but the wallet) and the clock is correct, port is open and I have connections. It also displays the right current block number.

No block since 16. July. There are no “proof-of-work” messages in the log.

Everything has been working without problems since beginning of 2010.

People, i really need your help 😞 Still nothing

What is the message i have to found on my “debug.log” file, to make sure i may have found a block??

This is so rare, 1 month running with 4200khash/s with many versions.

I just need to know if my machine is correctly running to generated bitcoins

Hmm.. could it be the wallet?

Wouldn’t be to hard to try. Creating a backup, erasing the whole bitcoin directory and then running it. You can always transfer the BC from one wallet to the other or use both of them for paying stuff.

I did so and am currently downloading coins. However, my system is slower than yours and we’ll see the result sooner if we try it together. 😉
