Yea.. We've got a run there

Ill be donating 0.05 BTC too.
Who knows any other datacoin-sympathizers to collect some value? Ask them!
BTC and DT reward is a great idea!

Does any1 know when the send/get data feature will be released? Or is krypte.net the way to go

Im not natively speaking english, i just can do basic texts But im willing to help during the giveaway, to check links, set up the participant excel sheet and sort out double registrations.


An other idea is, to let it be promoted at cryptocoinsnews.com or @ThisWeeksCoin or...


How long do you think it should be running? I Think 5 days would be good...

it would be great if datacoin would be on cryptsy for that

Yes, it will be some kind of blockchain spamming. but who cares? The file to be uploaded will be some bytes, not even a kilobyte. But it would demonstarate the functions of datacoin to the world. With krypte.net its pretty easy...


I think the problem of paying the reward in datacoin is, that a user who doesnt know about datacoin, will not do much to get some datacoins. Bitcoins on the otherhand are well known, and users know their value.

I have a litte big idea for a datacoin promotion.

I thought of a way to rise datacoins degree of knowledge in public and to get people to buy/generate/use some datacoins. But it came to me during a shower...

I think to get people involved in a new coin, you need a really good incentive. And not in Datacoin, but in Bitcoins or Litecoins. I think it should be around 0.1 Bitcoin or more, to motivate people do the task.

So here is the thing...

Set up a giveaway, which will run 3-5 Days. The winner will be drawn from all participants of the giveaway.
To qualify for the giveaway, everyone has to post a twitter post like:

"@datacoin Secure filestorage. New 0.1BTC giveaway: bit.ly/BlaBla" (link to giveaway-post)

Than, that twitterlink, including bitcointalk username and a BTC Adress will be safed in a txt file:

"
morontv
http://twitter.com/link-to-post
BTC: 1GBTkDzYCvgo9Xm8VvnB9eahcdSpnE4xnJ
"

and that file need to be uploaded to to the blockchain.
Thaaan, the TXT-ID can be posted in the giveaway thread. 
Maybe even require to change the bitcointalk signature until end of the giveaway.

I think it would be a great way to introduce the senddata/getdata feature in the native client...

What do you think?

Implement a BlockChain explorer into the DTC Client, and also come up with an integrated shortening service with will register as fileservice in windows. So if you klick  "dtc://WAu1pye" in IE or FF, it will be shown in the Datacoin Wallet Application or at least it can be downloaded there! That would be so awesome!

Hope its not too late!

great work!

I've written a detailed Howto to get a Bitcoin Miner running under Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, but its german. You can find it here:
http://www.morontv.de/Howto-Bitcoin-Miner-mit-Microsoft-Hyper-V-Server-2008-R2-und-AMD-Radeon-5830.htm


Here is a compact english howto. For pictures, see the detailed howto.

BitcoinMining on Hyper-V is not that hard, you dont need four days and you dont need to be a Windows-Guru *g*
FYI, im not selling this howto but donations are very welcome! :-)

What do we need?

- MS Hyper-V Server 2008 R2
  http://www.microsoft.com/germany/server/hyper-v-server/default.mspx
- A USB-Stick with 2GB+
- Catalyst Driver for Windows 7 64-bit (tested with 11.06)
  http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon_win7-64.aspx
- AMD APP SDK 2.4 64-bit
  http://developer.amd.com/sdks/amdappsdk/downloads/pages/default.aspx
- ReadyDriverPlus
  http://www.citadelindustries.net/ReadyDriverPlus/
- MS Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)   
  http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5555
- MS Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)   
  http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=14632
- MS Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)   
  http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=29
- MS Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) MSN Archive (ENU)   
  http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/KB961894/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=2067
- MS Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x64) MSN Archive (ENU)
 http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/KB961894/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=2067
- your favourite Miner http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=6458.0


optional:

- Firefox Portable
  http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
- Free Commander Portable
  http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/freecommander_portable
- CCleaner Portable
  http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds
- DevManView
  http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/device_manager_view.html


- Download and Burn Windows Server ISO-Image and install the Server (no more instrucions here, for Details see http://www.petri.co.il/how-to-install-windows-server-2008-step-by-step.htm)
- Download all needed Software and copy it to the USB-Stick
- "install" the Portable Software to the USB-Stick
- DO NOT INSTALL UPDATES rightnow!
- (start Free Commander Portable from Console for easy installation)
- install all Redistributable Packages
- install ReadyDriverPlus - This changes the Startup-process!
- REBOOT
- install all Updates, including SP1 - this will take 3-4 reboots (Number 6 in blue console ;-))
- REBOOT

Now the tricky part. You have to installe the ATI/AMD Software incl. the driver but the installer will fail with some packages.
- go to "USB-Stick\path\to\ATI\DRIVER\bin64"
- start Setup from console with "ATISetup.exe -install -output screen"
- install the .exe-files in :
   \Packages\Apps\CCC2\Branding
   \Packages\Apps\CCC2\Core-Static
   \Packages\Apps\CCC2\Fuel64
   \Packages\Apps\CCC2\MOM-InstallProxy
   \Packages\Apps\CCC2\Utility64
   \Packages\Apps\DnDTranscoding64   
(can be done with Free Commander)
- DO NOT INSTALL OPENCL!

Now we're good to install the Radeon-driver itself. This can't be done with Free Commander. So:
- start the console and change the path to "USB-Stick\path\to\ATI\DRIVER\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF\"
- type pnputil.exe -i -a C7119606.inf (inf-file will change with newer/older driver)
- REBOOT

If everything is fine until now, the screen-resolution should be much better now :-)
Now were going to install the AMD APP SDK, its pretty much the same as the Driver itself

- go to USB-Stick\path\to\ATI\SDK-Package\Bin64
- type in "ATISetup.exe -install -output screen"  into console
- install ALL .exe-files in USB-Stick\path\to\ATI\SDK-Package\Apps\
- do also install OpenCL64
(can be done with Free Commander)

- one last REBOOT
- if you have done the configuraion via RDP, do not log in via RDP now. This has to be VGA-Console
- navigate to your miner directory
- start your miner.
for example phoenix.exe -u http://hyperv:hyperv@mtred.com:8337/ -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT WORKSIZE=128 FASTLOOP AGGRESSION=7 DEVICE=0

Bazinga! BitcoinMining with Hyper-V Server. Even without CPU-Lags ;-)

Have Fun. Donations to: 15niKNDas65cWLtwYXzxXCJiAqMuxyAs9m

( I hope this will be moved from newbie section soon *g*)
