The problem has been solved and bounty is on it's way.

Thank you all!

SocialCoin is offering a bounty for converting the liteaddress.org paper wallet generator to SocialCoin.
The bounty stands at 60k SOC.

The only thing required is to have the code generate a valid SOC address, which starts with "S" (63).
I can manage all other naming conversions and images. Just need help modifying the code to generate a correct address.

Who can help us out?

Diff has been 1.9 indeed, but 0.7 also in the last few days. If you mine the coin a while you'll see difficulty drop and rise.

Recently the coin spiked at 200 satoshi at Poloniex. And I'm not talking about an "optical" spike like you see on cryptsy but a real spike where all orders up to 200 were filled.
Difficulty went to 9 I believe and since then there's been more interest in the coin. Diff has been a bit higher overall since.

I haven't been calculating lately because every time I did, SOC was the most profitable compared to all other coins.
I was actually happy SOC wasn't listed on the comparison sites 'cause that meant more coins for me;)

It looks like the coin is about to take off now so I don't know what the future brings. All I can say is that SocialCoin is very profitable and has been THE most profitable at times in the past.

This may be your last chance mining the coin with such low difficulty and 10k blocks. Only a few blocks left before it's halved to 5k.

Yep, it's been very profitable for a long time!

At this time there's still more than 300.000,- SOC (in 1000 SOC bonusses) to be earned by block finders at:
soc.hotpoolz.com

At coins-e, the price goes over my asking price again and again, but I haven't sold anything so far.
Even worse than cryptsy... Like my orders aren't even there.

You need to run it with --keccak. But then it'll do nothing.

Here's the github: https://github.com/Max-Coin/cgminer

Are you running that with the --keccak option? I can run it with --scrypt but not keccak.
I'm on linux btw and compiled cgminer with --enable-keccak and --enable-scrypt but it hangs when I run keccak.

Did you compile the source?

Isn't it strange difficulty is so high on launch with only cpu miners... and a "broken" cgminer in github??

Linux binaries don't work on ubuntu 12.04:(

I just downloaded the new android DOGE wallet and scanned the address on the photo for a 1000 DOGE "reward". This technology is awesome!

Such Happy New Year!

I understand your suspicion towards me. I know where we are and how many scammers there are in the coin scene.
Since mid November I discovered bitcoin and the altcoins. But I've been reading only, until this.

If you or a friend is near Amsterdam I'll be happy to meet somewhere and talk some coin.

I stated that he does have obligations towards us. But that I understand him not showing up here where everybody only complains and accuses.
Not professional, but understandable.

I haven't said he could steal, I said you can turn someone in that direction by repeating it over and over.

Should there be a case for donating, it would be voluntary, like social people sometimes do when disaster struck.
I would help to rebuild a pool that pays more than other pools. Technically it would more be an investment than donation.

Don't get me wrong guys, there's only a slight chance this all ends up well.
But I think we should steer this in a positive direction if we want a chance for a positive outcome.

Personally I don't get why someone would steel xxx coins once, if they can take 2% every day. So in 50 days they have the same amount and it keeps on coming after that.

Keeping that in mind, this may turn out well... Else the joke's on me indeed.

Yes, I absolutely agree he should keep us posted. A mining pool is not just an informative site for visitors, it's where we make money, and we pay pool operators for certain responsibilities. Like keeping our coins safe, keeping the site and pool running and to a certain point keep us up to date.

On Phonetic's defence:

Point 1: Yes, this is THE situation here, but could really be due to a malfunctioning script.
Point 2: Also a big no-no, but given how people bashed him he may be a bit upset.
Point 3: This could be anyone... Anyone noticed how a lot of pools didn't find any blocks for 4 hours this morning? Maybe someone has a mining cheat and sells every once in a while? Or cashing in from any of the DOGE sites that got hacked?
Point 4: Traceroute and Whois info only tells us Phonetic doesn't want the world to come knocking on his door in case something (beyond his control) goes wrong. This is very understandable and common practise for webmasters of all kinds of sites. Isn't the inventor of Bitcoin a pseudonym too? The better domain registrars offer this anonymity service to protect good willing customers. Because law enforcement can easily obtain the true identity of the owner.

Phonetic, wherever you are, please realize you had a very good thing going that made you and a lot of people good money.
It's having a dip, after last week's peak. It won't take much effort to get it back on it's feet and have us all prosper in the long term.
You have a group of loyal people, who maybe mining elsewhere now but they'll be back when you are.

The way people lined up to be at your place, some even willing to donate you out of trouble...
You must realize you have a special thing going?! Would be a shame to let that go to waste.

I've registered to post in this thread after reading it for a while.

First I want to thank Phonetic for a very good job done on his pool!

Scryptpools made me more DOGES than any other pool. This pool was smoking hot just a few days ago.
People lining up to pay 2% with their 1Mhz+ rigs, asking for invites because we all knew: Scryptpools with Phonetic is the place to be!

I've studied the scripts the pools run on and as a php developer I can tell you that the code doesn't scale well for many simultaneous users.
Especially when you're under a DDOS attack, which many of the popular DOGE pools suffered from.

Phonetic has been doing his best to keep the pool going, and so far  he has always kept his word.
I've been a fan of his work ethics. Combined with the payout of the site... this pool was golden.

Then the attacks came, and once while working on a fix I see Phonetic coming back to this thread being accused by people of being a scammer.
From that moment on everything that went wrong was proof he was a scammer.

This was just before or on Christmas.

Let's say he has a loving family, wanting him to be with them... and he has us... a pool of people accusing him of being a scammer.
Would you sacrifice your family's joy over a gang of people accusing you?

I think that IF Phonetic runs of with our DOGES, it will be because we made him do it. By constantly repeating he's a scammer.
If you keep telling something to someone, they may start to believe in it...

So how about we all turn this thing 180 degrees and get things up and running again.
Because we all know that this is one of the best pools when things work as they should.

First, let's assume he installed or configured a script that did pay out people too much.
To those that are not familiar with mining pool software... There is no single-install solution. You'll have to mix and match some scripts, who are cloned by many people with different features. Some turn out to have errors. Like paying out too little or too much.

So the pool is in debt because it paid some users too much, who may either stay quiet or just think they got lucky.

We can fix this debt the pool has by all chipping in. We could all donate 50 or 100 percent for a few hours of mining.
Yes we would give away our coins, but as DOGE miners and holders it wouldn't hurt to act as a community and help rebuild one of our foundations.

That could help strengthen the DOGE community vibe. And a better DOGE vibe could lead to a better DOGE exchange rate:)

Let's all stick our DOGES together and defeat the obstacles ahead!

Like you I´m also new on this forum with the idea to communicate with others. Wishing you and all the other newbies the best of luck!
