[ANN] WoofCoin / New Coin [WOFC] GPU Mining/PoW

WOOF COIN

Since the beginning of the pandemic, pet surrendering rates have increased dramatically around the world. Waitlists for surrendering household pets have increased to a remarkable eight months as animal shelters and welfare organisations have seen an increase of 34% for animals needing help.

Typically, animal shelters are under resourced and under financed; relying heavily on donations and the volunteer efforts to assist animals.

This is where Woof Coin steps in. As avid lovers of dogs, we wanted to make a difference. Using the power of Proof of Work mining, we’ve created a coin where miners are contributing to the donation of money to animal welfare shelters. These shelters initially include the ASPCA who already have a cryptocurrency donation mechanism but with intention to expand to the RSPCA and other organizations suggested by the community. 

Our aim is to put animals first and we intend on developing ongoing relationships with pet shelters to help adoption.

Re: Year 2017. Poloniex vs. Bittrex vs. Kraken service comparison

I have only dealt with Kraken, they seem to be growing their coins but slowly, the layout of their website i will agree is horrible.  But I have had very good customer service with them I am talking 1 to 3 hour responses back and forth. I Find that very useful, I am also new to trading online currencies..... I just made 5 bucks in profit doing it the first time just having fun adding 50 USD. I really don't think Kraken is bad..... you can deposit and withdraw USD EU, and british pounds now? I could be wrong.

But to be able to trade 17 coins, not having to own them and buy and sell them for USD is win win..... customer support as been great.   The annoying very annoying part of Kraken is setting up with them, I was about to ask if they wanted a blood sample...... At same time I am glad they screen their users like this. You have to be dedicated to get on there. I had to take over 6 pictures of my self just to get my damn ID and paper just right for them to read it.... doesnt help having a 50 dollar blu phone.  I am tempted to dumb 500 more dollars just to see how it goes as well. but for now I will hit it sit for a few weeks to see if it drains my 50 or makes me money.



the other exchanges I have no idea. The fact that poloniex requires eletronic and no USD was a no go for me, Bittrex if they offer it I might give them a try. Selling and buying smaller coins is not a problem for me at all. Everyone is going for the big dog BTC when you can make thousands on the small coins just as easy. I will look into Bittrix

... Yes, of course they are 5V. That is the voltage spec for USB devices...
What matter is how much current PER-PORT the hub will provide. You want to have at least 2A (2000ma) per-port to run a 2PAC at nice speeds. As a general search, look for 'Charging hubs' made to power tablets and such.

Um there is a thread not to far away specifically about powered hubs and 2PAC's...

edit: Ok, so the thread was 3 pages in so   here is 2PAC powerd hub thread.

good to know I will be pack when I get a better usb hub. fyi it really sucks that the ones they are usually are not available on amazon anymore, but at least I know what I am looking for so 10-12amps per usb slot should be plenty I hope

Could be because that's not a real flag. Read the first post.

any ideas on my problem? the -p was a typeo on my side, when you posted first.... i always put a -p x since none of the pools require a password..... again i have tried 4 pools no connection.


also just for testing purposes I will set it to 150 and not push it to 200, but it is on a dedicated POWERED 2.0 USB strip

That hub may have a lot of ports and lights and switches, but the specs say it will only provide a max of 250 Milliamps per port and a max of 2A total.  That's not going to power anything if correct

literally bought that b/c thats what amazon says people buy with the usb fan as well as the gekko 2pac......... and im looking at other strips most of them are only 5v


the gekko does respond and blinks when cgminer is detecting it. i tried putting it on a 2.0 on my computer wont even pick it up hmmmm

If the command line's right but you're not connecting to the pool, I'd guess it's an issue with the port being blocked. Most pools will have a port 80 option of one kind or another, see if that works for you.

i will go into DMZ mode and disable windows firewall to see if i connect to their alternative ports.....


port 80 does nothing just tired another pool with supernova


i open on cgminer.exe and try to just connect to a server its like it wont even try.


i am using a Ethernet cable cat5, my mobo is the msi 990fx a gaming, uses the killer driver for my internet no idea if that affects anything

Is the -p parameter optional?

Can you ping pool.ckpool.org from your controller?

using windows
ping just fine.

gave cgminer.exe run as admin, gave all users rights, compatibility to windows 7

Well your first problem is terminology. There are no GPUs anywhere near the stick.

Running 200MHz will require increasing the core voltage, and running on a USB port capable of pushing at least about 7.5 watts - that's 1.5 amps.

Without knowing your command line configuration (see the first post for examples) there's no way to know what's wrong with your connecting to a pool.

cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://pool.ckpool.org:3333 -u 3Htapve5f5srdYj4frcQ41LUHdBBR9YYM9.bear1 --gekko-2pac-freq 150 --suggest-diff 32

using powered usb, and a fan on it......

ports open on router and pc and anti virus disabled. ALL OPEN wont connect to shit

anyway to support gekko pac2? i know i am asking a lot....


also, does bitminter not support android devices i know they are slow but i have bitminer on my phone trying to connect to bitminter but i keep getting kicked off or it works for 2 hours and i dont get any credit. even if its only 5 k/bs

i do have my settings right as well..... i know it by heart now stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 username.workerwhatever password x......... but point is i am going to start a adding a lot of usb and chain them sadly my first usb is a gekko 2pac which is not supported I guess I will get the cheap usb since they are detectable b/c i love your client and it seems to be the only thing that works for me.

but i still wanted to use 4 of my old phones to add to my pool of workers.

yeah this gekko is picky, so I went to the official gekko support page on this forum, started installing cgminer then they wanted me to add all of these other programs and then my computer started acting funny so i was like screw this.... AV and FW up...... i have to exclude cgminer.exe from av. one of the programs i downloaded gave me a nasty little bug, started right-clicking and moving my mouse randomly and my file explorer text all disappeared then i alt ctrl delete my task manager text disappeared i was like fuck this restart with AV first. i believe it was when i downloaded MinGW or some weird program i have no idea what it is used for, started to disable my firewall and my av i am just glad i caught it in time I HOPE i took back control but now i am mining my computer trying to get rid of everything scanning manually and AV also just put my vpn up again incase they try to backdoor me or something

4.9.2 windows 7 .zip link is broken or just not there.
That's right there are no zip files, only .7z files as the zip files were falsely flagged as viruses by google which kept them off my back for a while. However in the meantime google has falsely flagged almost my entire website due to it containing bitcoin mining software even though it's impossible to do anything malicious with current versions of cgminer since it only works on asic mining hardware. I gave up trying to appeal to google about that. They even flagged web pages that are just text patches which is nonsense.

that really sucks Sad does 4.9.2 support more devices like gekko-2pac?

A few questions for this, I don't feel like reading 147 pages I am really sorry? Gunboat still really work?  The product cost 450 USD, so If I open a brand new BC account, and the other currencies etc.... What is the smallest invested amount of money do I need to make a profit start happening? I understand trading takes a risk..... but this program obviously trades or tries to trade 24/7 with the upper hand predicting the market. Like i said for the work man that has nothing invested in eletronic currencies yet. Let us say I save up 700 bucks I buy Gunboat rest i put into Bitcoin. Will it still try and probably have an above 50% chance to increase that 300 to 350 in a month or so? and as long as i mine and i keep trading in theory I can make more. If i am right on all this, is Gunboat still alive can i purchase this?
Gunbot price is 0.1 btc, not 450 USD. 450 is just current exchange rate.
If u see my signature, u can receive 10% discount for bot.
U can can make more if u setting up good settings and market will relatively supportive.

I saw the .1BTC I just converted for my own sanity..... either mine it or buy into it.

My new hobby
by
madgar29
on 08/10/2017, 21:42:53 UTC
I have been reading, and watching the market, watching youtubes looking at stuff. I finally decided to jump the big leap and join the mining like I should have done 20 years ago. I am here for the fun and the hobby not really for the money aspect.  I also want to keep in mind I am graduate college student and I pretty much live paycheck to paycheck. I could give more information out like I have 2 other projects going on that I need to pay for like fixing two computers but that is for another time and place. Getting promoted at Amazon is just taking longer than expected and I started at 30 which I should have started at 20 and I am fully invested, so only time will tell if I did the right thing trying to stay with Amazon and to save and bit my time until I get that great promotion with my MBA. I AM USING WINDOWS 10 64bit.

All of my background being said, I decided I do not need a pi, sure it is cheap and its a 60 buck investment, but I realize I do not need to mess with besides I need CGMINER/BFG MINER/BITMINTER CLIENT experience in my personal belief to use pi.  I haven't used dos or command prompt since the first year of college which I actually miss I wish I went into programming mode. using command prompt and dos is far from programming I know, but I miss using commands like dir, or simple crap like that.

So I again not a big budget, but I chose to go with bitminter.com as my pool and server to mine, and I choose Electrum as my bitcoin bank, and obviously bitcointalk.org as my bitcoin community talk. My pc or in the future my old laptop will be the dedicated host for the mining operation.

So I got onto amazon.com and I Started buying the basics, powered 2.0usb strip, best-selling USB fan, and then I saw that the Ghekko 18ghz 2gpu stick was out the same price as the others but double the speed so I bought one of them.

-long-term thinking I can not afford to just get a loan out to slam four thousand down the drain for an Antminer doing a few terra bytes of lines or hashes per whatever. I can only afford one stick per paycheck that does 18ghz which is amazing compared to this 800mhz USB. So I got excited Ill do this for a year and I can train this up to 142 USB per train. 1 fan 6 sticks a strip, just make a mini farm add one every two weeks or so grow slow but surely.

So I noticed another hitch in my planning these 18ghz USB miners selling them on Amazon at that price is not that often either they have a production problem or the demand is crazy, so I either wait for them or I settle for the 8ghz Gekko one..... I look at other sellers they want 142 bucks I am just flat out not doing it I am budget mining not pay more.

So here is my first question, I hooked up my first USB strip, my first fan, my first USB bitcoin miner with two GPU etc..  I have wasted two hours already... I have installed the driver it does see the device as 2Pac BM1384 Bitcoin Miner. I really really wanted Bitminter client with a GUI to just pick it up. the first question can I get my Bitminter client to pick this device up?Huh?

First thing I tried, second thing I tried I kept seeing CGminer you gotta go CGminer, I install it I look at it I'm like wtf am I doing, then I find the piece of paper my USB miner came with so I download it, gave me the driver I believe that I needed but, when it told me to configure the cgminer_run.bat which I am going to post several ways of how I tried to do it. It would connect to solo their default pool or solo pool and sit there looking for work. when I put in mint.bitminter.com:3333 or us1 or us2 or eu1 none of them would ever connect. I kept trying to modify the .bat I run cgminer.exe put it in that way just like Bitminter.com tells me to on their front page, point the device their way username password means nothing, never connected with CG. Then I saw a post with this type of miner you really need BFGminer, so I download BFGminer.... connected to bitminter.com just fine cannot find any devices okay M+, scan all ports nothing. I typed something trying to search by port then program froze.  I run them all with admin rights. So here I am I cannot find any mining software to host my first USB miner either it sees the device but doesn't like my pool or connects to my pool does not detect my device that says its installed by installing the drivers.

That is my first question and issue. How do I get started with this USB MINER, furthermore what is your guy's advice if you were in my shoes and willing to do this has a hobby but you want to do good, next payday what USB miner would you buy the 8ghz or the 800mhz? or look on eBay for a cheaply used 18ghz or try to steal a 100 dollar old video card with water cooling doing 300ghz, I want to continue building my train, and investing in a big power surge protector have a lot of power slots, but  I don't need one until I am two 12 USB strips in but it is something that is like 14 miners already going. Right now I am running the standard surge protector power strip that only has 8 power slots and no space between them.  My biggest question is should I get the amazon 8ghz Gekko, or the official-looking 500-800mhz bitcoin miner for 20 bucks cheaper or buy them used on eBay at 20 a pop.  I am personally looking at the 8ghz or waiting for the 18 to appear again. Also this best selling fan I'm not sure if I like the height of it needs to be longer to hold right on top of all the chips right now it's on an angle I don't like that but its the same one I see in all the videos.

So If I fix my continuing problem, and I get a plan on what I am going order and collect next as miners, I am set, but I do have a few other minor questions.... are bitcoin mining pools ever attacked is it wise to run a VPN while mining or does it matter?  I trust my mining pool I just don't trust outside influence but then again I am sure the pool has its own firewalls to protect its pool so again is VPN a smart idea?  If I trust my pool, but I want to mine here and there I think I should definitely VPN it up. I just wanted miners opinions on mining with VPNs. I pay for 4 VPN lines a month, I try to VPN all the time on the main PC but it so hard with gaming and lag Sad IPVaninsh not trying to advise I just hope they are a decent VPN company.

Last question and I am done, I have 4 old phones behind me I am going to throw them away soon if not one wants them or I thought about mining with them, true I will not get much out of them but leave them charging strip them with everything they got and just mine with them and leave them alone forever under the desk until they just burn out, I figured 4 phones might get me 200mhz? maybe more id be surprised one does have a six or eight core dragon snap, the ram is what slowed it down so much. anyways should I just run them as miners see what I get? or a total waste of money and time? We are talking a galaxy note 2, a Blu studio that is like an 8 inch tablet phone, screen half away works so to even get it to mine is going to be like okay where now lol, then I got an iPhone 3i or 4i  and another galaxy note 2. 4 phones that I could be mining non stop forever, a 5th one soon if I buy this galaxy 7s for one buck from a friend then id have my Blu HD R1 I could mine with.again probably 200mhz in hashes. Id love to post results I am bettering the 8-inch Blu will do the best due to the screen and having to push out more for the GPU if the iPhone does better I'm just going to be like WHAT THE BLEEPING BLEEP.

but the first thing I totally need to do is figure out why I cannot find mining software/hoster for windows ten, for my train that I want to start slowly. My first Miner is not even running.  And I can turn on my GPU when I sleep I just don't want to fry it my ATI RADEON 580 4 gig of ram is my baby..... lets me play all my games.  It is air cooled but I would love to put that puppy on a closed loop water cooling. but I hear GPU cooling fits are expensive.  No my future plan is for my USB MINING farm will be running on my old laptop which is Intel 5core 3.8 or 4.2 GHz quad core with 8 gigs built in GPU just some intel cheapo GPU but I am sure it can do 100mhz. anyways overkill to host and run mining software if a pi can do it my laptop can do it not like I use to anymore.

please, any help suggesting what software I should use how to use it would be amazing, what would be my best options for the pool I am going to be part of which sorry guys I wish I was a big spender too to make you more but I am gonna try to keep adding power to it.  But also the method I am doing USB chaining with USB miners. and why is it CGminer is not finding my pool or my devices which my windows ten is completely telling me its there and driver is working. Which I did install from the URL the product gave me. which was also a customized CGminer or CGminer that was designed for my chip or just set up for my chip but it didn't work for my pool you guys will see the lines I did.

I downloaded BFGminer, again I connected to my server just fine, NO DEVICES FOUND so i hit M+ to manage, + to add, scan all for scanning all ports.... The USB MINER IS physically in, Port_#0004.Hub_#0010, how to use this in BFG I have no idea but I bet a hundred bucks it will still say nothing is there.

Any help, comments, concerns, suggestions, ideas, support,  Thank you all and God bless.
