Re: [DSH] Dashcoin (cryptonote coin, true anonymity, automated source code)

So you believe people are actually going to be psyched about a clone coin in the long run?  Huh Didn't everyone learn their lesson from Bytecoin (BTE)? At least they're honest about it being a clone coin. The only people mining it momentarily are early-bird miners.
This clone coin doesn't copy Bytecoin's (BCN) main flaw which is the big 'premine'. Why do you think Monero went to the moon while Bytecoin went no where.

Actually, Bytecoin (BCN) currently tops Monero; and in terms of total market cap, Bytecoin has hit $8 million versus Monero's $5.5 million. I'm not sure what might happen in the long run, but it would appear that people are more concerned about originality versus a masked premine.

The fact there are 21 million neutrinos for sale at 1 btc each on bittrex, more than there even is Bitcoin available is a dead giveaway it is a scam. I can't believe those 3 guys behind it would put their public reputations on the line like that considering they have impressive linkedin resumes.

Maybe it's because they're willing to sacrifice their public reputation to get a few million out of the cryptoworld. To them, what it comes down to is, "what's the better option?" Working for another 5-20 years doing whatever it is they were previously doing; or create a scam coin with the knowledge that they have, and skim the top every time the market rises past a certain point? Unsurprisingly, their profiles and pictures have been removed from the Neutrino website.

Re: [BBR] Bounty for open source Wild Keccak GPU miner

I don't see what the point of a GPU miner for BBR is. Wasn't BBR trying to differentiate itself from the rest of the Bytecoin clones by making itself heavily GPU resistant? Unless of course there already is a private GPU miner for BBR, and now it's just a matter of supplying a fair game.

Weird. I'm using two different computers, with two different firewalls, on an internet connection with a 10ms ping time. Sometimes it's all green, then for a few minutes at a time, I get a ton of shares that fail to submit (and a few failed shares in-between from time to time). Not sure what the problem is.

Are you on the latest version?  That looks like one or two of the bugs I fixed in some commits last week -- please update your source or binaries if you haven't already.  If you have, could you let me know the git revision of your source checkout, or where you got your binary from?

I'm using the latest BBR simpleminer (bbr-win64-v0.2.0.20-f9bfe73); I'm also getting the same error with the Cryptonote miner. Aside from solo-farm mining, is anyone still solo mining Boolberry? I don't see how the sole public BBR pool only has about .25% of the total network hashrate. Is the majority of the Boolberry hashrate being driven by the rumored private GPU miner?

Given ExtremePool is the only working pool for Boolberry, I'm assuming others are also experiencing errors with simpleminer submitting shares. Is this a pool issue or a miner issue? I get the errors on port 5555 and 7777 all the same.

Re: [ANN] [QCN] QuazarCoin | Privacy&Data protection | CPU only | Optimized miner
by
bctx
on 04/06/2014, 09:39:28 UTC
I asked earlier what people liked about QCN, and was a bit disappointed with the replies.
But here is one thing I like IIUC.

With QCN privacy is built in with the need for Masternodes (which I think both DRK and XC have).
This seems , to me, to be the biggest plus.

But we need more than just this to really make this a success.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The other thing is that compared to ,say, MRO this coin looks cheap and "fairer".
So we have an opportunity  

IT IS cheaper and fairer (at least for the time being) Smiley



QCN is cheaper, a bit more fair to long-term miners, and rarer than all the other coins, but that will only matter should a "whale" or two be looking to make a long-term investment. However, should Poloniex decide to take QCN out of the exchange (which is looking like a possibility at this point), that will be the final nail in the coffin for QCN.

OracionSeis, should you want your coin to stand out from the other Bytecoin clones, then make it truly different (not just an altered emission curve). Feature which could make QCN stand out from the rest? POS.

Duck is basically a new, fair alternative to BCN  Roll Eyes

Actually, that was Quazarcoin, Boolbeery, Mountcoin and last, but probably not ultimately last, duckNote. This is an instamine, pump and dump coin -- and I sure will be dumping the day it hits Poloniex.

What are you talking about no one knows? Yes they do. He was helped via skype and it was confirmed how they got in.

Don't waist your time, he only wants to mess the thread

I'm not trying to thread cap, just stating the obvious. Any investor wanting to trade in BTC for DRK to act as a masternode is placing $6,000+ at risk -- you really do have to assure people their wallets are secure, given reasonable protection.

Intended for the Darkcoin devs:

If people didn't have to risk 1000 Darkcoins, maybe people wouldn't be dumping it like crazy whenever the ROI is 3+ times what someone paid for them originally, when someone happens to get there Darkcoins stolen, or a hardfork goes wrong -- or worst case scenario, all three happen around the same time. Maybe, just maybe, you could allow people to act as masternodes with 100 Darkcoins.

Intended for Darkcoin investors:

I'm sure the Darkcoin devs would like you to think that the person that had his Darkcoins stolen was purely a user error (either it being a downed firewall and/or a poor wallet password), but the truth is, no one knows (though we will if people keep getting their masternode wallets stolen). Until Darkcoin has the proven reputation that Bitcoin has had with its security (which has proven to be flawed), I'm not sure why anyone would be willing to let $5,000+ dollars sit in the open waiting for some desperate hacker to find a flaw.

To all the people selling Drk.  I realise the temptation to sell is great, especially if you bought at $1 or less.

However, before you commit that grievous sin and damage your future wealth, please do these logical checks:

1. Is darkcoin better than litecoin?

2. Is darkcoin current price less than litecoin?

If you answered yes to the above questions: WHY ARE U SELLING?!!!

Because Darkcoin is currently under threat by Monero and Quazar coin. Once these coins get their proper wallet, things should take off for them as well.

So why implement this? Just for the sake of being able to? Obviously ring signatures are desirable since Evan stated he will code them in, so why not just do this to begin with instead of Darksend?

Darksend is older technology. I'm not sure the idea of ring signatures was even around when Darksend was thought up. Also, one of the reasons Darkcoin is growing so rapidly is because people want to be Masternodes, further funding Darkcoin in the process. Had people realized this earlier, I doubt Darkcoin would have the success it's having now. To back Darkcoin up, there is a concern that ring signatures might be exploitable in the future.

Quote
If ring signatures will be an alternative choice for Darkcoin users, this directly competes against Masternode owners.


Which is why there is a growing popularity for Monero and Quazar coin. If anonymity is the objective, there are three services available now.

So I sent a payment to my Mintpal address using the old wallet (v. 0.9.1.2), and the payment is showing up on Mintpal or on the blockchain. It's been over an hour, so I just want to know if there is some sort of bug in the old wallet. The transaction id is 5d44dbf3e5953c02e844f09399e3b277113919f7496fff60427456b01394988f. Anyone have an issue like this before?

Nevermind. It took over an hour, but it is showing up on the blockchain now.

Re: [ANN] Primecoin GPU miner: up to 2.9 CPD (3.0 XPM) on a 280x +FREE solo version

madMAx has release the XPM gpu miner as open source now: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=602292.0 .

So, I did remember the mentioning of open sourcing your miner if someone made theirs faster
[And again:] ... and we are not able to speed-up ours any further. Which is not the case.

Not entirely sure what that's suppose to mean. What I do know is that, this miner is dead. The latest XPM miner is shelling out 4.9 CPD on a 280x at 1100. Shocked. Even if this miner gets open sourced, nobody would use it. The fee-free version of the miner is shelling out 3.9 at 1100.

Just so everyone knows, there is a new Primecoin GPU miner out. It's only 33% faster than primeGPUs miner on a 280x.  Wink Pool fee is 10%.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=598542.0


Except the pool is always down and you cant mine, and it has no solo mining.

Go shit in some one else's thread.

The pool and miner was just released to the public yesterday. Give it a few more days, and I'm sure it'll have the reliability of ypool. I like ypool; but it's a fact that they control over 51% of the hashing power for Primecoin, leaving it susceptible to a 51% attack on their part (however unlikely that they would want to in the first place). Just trying to spark some healthy competition.
