If many people ask to a big exchange (like bittrex) to add the coin, is there a chance it works ?

Yes! If people ask thats how they decide, send them an email or tweet them and request

So this coin is good, the concept is rock solid but there are three key ingredients that are missing, all of which can be fixed,

1) This coin has the ability to be set up on a pool. The devs have put up the code on github, someone who runs a pool could set this up fairly easily.

2) There is no GPU miner for this coin. Its doable and there is a bounty I know. There was some work a while back but idk the status on that one. But that would allow more people to mine, also greater centralization or wider distribution to the mining community, depending on how you view the issue.

3)There are no reputable exchanges which use this coin. Honestly I see no reason why its not. I think once these proplems are remidied this coin will have a solid place in the market

I submitted an info graphic a bit ago, Do you guys have any thoughts on how I can improve that to really get across on what this coin can do?

So I have not been able to find a block recently, its been like 48 hours and I have not gotten one yet
blocks are hashing fine, what is your current setup?
I'm just mining on my macbook
Does it say you are connected to peers? Are you synced?

have you checked out aptcoin? its got a unique algo which randomizes the n factor of each block. wayyy more asic resistant than vertcoin, x11 and all those clones. really early stages but the devs have been constantly developing, should be on your radar.

BTW. The coin and wallet look good from the 3 months of its release. Your doing a great job DEV with the improvemets made to them. They should be a good market for this coin I'm lucky to find 2 blocks per day with a i7. That's just 84 coins. That shouldn't have a small price considering it will take 30 years to mine the 42 mil coins. I think that it should at least be selling at 1k to 1.5k sats per.

Just my thoughts: You can tell that its not one and overwith. The dev has actually rode out this coin, made major improvments to the QT as well as to ws design. If this was gonna be a in and gone, they would have been a ipo or ico or something. This was a fair launch and fair coin by my standards I think. But like I said, its just my thoughts. Everyone has theirs.

Remember, the coins is only what you, the community, make it to be.
I hear that, s for the hashrate it still looks like its being mined pretty consistently from launch, which is always a good thing, lets see how this picks up ion the upcoming weeks  Grin

Maybe Poloniex will be good.
They are usually keen on adding coins with innovation.
That would be good, I remember them being big on cool coins like HUC and such

Are any exchanges looking to pick this coin up?

I know I have been emailing and tweeting exchanges, if you want it to work contact some and express some interest. Bittrex would probably be the best exchange to get on at this point. Anyone have any connections there?

So I was reading the white paper and realized that the best way of explaining this kind of stuff is with an infographic or something, so after a decent bit of procrastinating my other work I created this.
Not sure if it truly explains the coin but I would like some feedback.



I should probably clarify, the number represent the N block numbers, the square in the asic is the N block the asic is made for

Uhm... just pointing out the obvious here.
If you need to explain it, it probably isn't too good.

sure, is there things I could do to make this more clear? Your right though, as it is its not really telling the full story

What is the block time? How long should it take between blocks? is it like an average or is it pretty regular?  (besides the weird ones)

The block time is not regular, this is the reason for the discussion on the re targeting algorithm. Currently I am not sure what they average but it was around 5. ideally these coins could adjust per change in the N factor so the whole block time is predictable. Although I am not sure if the time is evening out over the long run but I believe it is

Sorry for the double-post in advance.

Some of you might have noticed the wallets inability to sync for the last 6 hours or so - that Is entirely my doing.
No, the wallet is not broken and it is still perfectly capable of synchronizing - there just hasn't been generated any blocks for the last 6 hours.

I went through the code and noticed that the new algorithm for difficulty retargeting is, although whole-heartedly meant to be better... but in fact it's not.
Doing a few preliminary tests (offline) showed that difficulty retargeting is extremely agressive when a lot of hashing power is thrown at it. I wanted to bring this into light while also showing the downside to this new algorithm.
So I threw all my hashing-power against the network and thus got the difficulty for a n-factor 13 block up to something in the vicinity of 1.7k compared to the roughly 220 it was before. Don't worry, when the current block is solved, difficulty should be down quite drastically - although that might take some time.

TL;DR - devs... fix your new diff. algo.

It looks like everything is back to normal now, But good to know there are people testing this stuff out! So do you think this is worse than before the retargeting or not?
