There is a secondary thread on USC: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=215465.0

Can someone make sure this isn't a virus?

The source code is linked. You can review it if you'd like.

Also, if you have finished the P2Pool, please link us and your USC address and the coins will be sent.

Can I mine with OSX with this?

Yes, just compile the QT and get to solo mining. :)

Let's take a look...  :)

I could never figure out how to do so, do you have some instructions that are step by step?

omg first page!

I'll mine it when a p2p pool is up and client is confirmed safe. :)

im in the same boat as you.

what are the pools?  :)

 ::) Wow.

I'm mining. Uses Scrypt btw. Thought it was SHA at first.

Ok..

Yes its scrypt. Bounties will be issued after we get a chance to test the relevant software written for USC. The same with exchanges, any exchange that adds it will receive a 1k bounty.

I don't trust it since there's been hacked BitCoin accounts, and they could most likely be linked to altcoin miners. When there's proof this isn't a scam or virus, then I'll probably use this.

Enjoy!

This coin can get bitcoiners in trouble as said before.

And again nothing new or innovative.

Well, have a nice pump & dump, enjoy.

Oh.

0 connections.....

instamined?

Connections piling up now.

please add my ip :137.135.15.184 for add_note
thanks

I see in other threads people requesting coins for bounties. Please post here until I get out of the newbie zone, then I will migrate to the other thread later.

Mark...

Waiting until verified by other users.

Where do we see if we have unlocked said bounties ?

I like the name of the coin. I will see later if I join mining

I have just been reading, no one has really posted their address after they do the desired bounty though. I have gotten pms and distributed about 60k so far for various fixes and helping speed up adoption. So I have about 240k left to distribute as I go. If anyone did do something that will help the coin just post there or in the thread in alt currency and I will send to the address posted anyhow even if I cannot reply saying it was done yet. The p2pool creator is the only one I specifically asked for and was done but he hasnt posted an address yet so he is due usc bounty coins. If anyone has been missed or didnt PM me or reply about something they have done please let me know so I can check the work then get you paid.

UjcsTRcf5kDbceLj6SrpzicKgDBYowN9nq

There is my address

Fantastic idea, eventually we'll have a separate coin for every noun in the English language!

Seriously though, you should post in the alt currency subforum if you want to increase adoption of your coin.

I will when I finish my newbie zone stint.

Did you complete a bounty or some sort of software, is that why your posting it?

Well for one I was mining in the so called pool for all of today and got 0 coins with my 1,200 mh/s
so either they got evaporated or someone has them.. that's gotta count lol

Well I can understand the frustration. Lets go with the boobie prize. UjcsTRcf5kDbceLj6SrpzicKgDBYowN9nq sent.

4ec470c26af47d77faa178783ee8fce977629c41750a2173271dc0d773516872

Yay boobies lol

Thanks.
Any idea on how to get the pool working properly?

Who doesnt love boobies. I sent you 80.085 coins :)

A message to all. The chain had forked early while being released, which caused a decent amount of coins to be lost. We are stable now with no coin losses. Now it is time to set more bounties!

Any word on getting a working pool?

What's the deal with the 300k premine, you really need that much for bounties?

It's enough for the bounties. About to make a thread about them.

Added block explorer to OP.

New pool opened:

http://usc.coinmine.pl - 0% fee, stratum only port 9091

cheers
feeleep

pointed a miner @ the pool  :)

thanks

I'm going to presume it's by design that the difficulty is so high? Block generation rate is nowhere near the 30 blocks per hour target its more like a block every 30-40 mins. This coin is dead in the water if it's going to take about 2 weeks at current hash rate for the difficulty to fix itself, it's also hard to get people to mine a coin with no reward so I don't really see extra hash power joining to fix it either.

Bounty sent.

+1 - terrible idea for a coin and symbol.  Thanks for affiliating cryptocoins with NORFED in the government's eyes.

You're stupid. The reason why the Liberty Dollar was taken down was because it resembled the US Dollar. You don't even know what the USCoin symbol is.

You children are pretty delusional. Read your own damned links and think before you speak, damned punk Matthew  ;) ;D. (recall how I said on btc-e I had wanted to troll you for a long time, lol).



Seriously though, think about what your suggesting and read about the liberty dollar, because you are highly mistaken if you think 'us' is enough to make this cryptocurrency more of a target than btc...

Do you even understand what motivates action in this country's government?

OK we have India, China, US, ... What about Korea?! Where's JucheCoin? Someone make that one!

If nothing else, he gets the reward, for fewest pages, in a new coin ANN thread...Complete Garbage.

I've spoken with the dev and he has given out bounties. You mad because you didn't catch the train?

He mad about every alt coin outside of WDC.

It's cool, he can be mad. I have 30k LTC anyways and I'm 16. He should be ashamed about not able to think how to capitalize off these coins.

Updated OP, raised payout for exchange, updated remaining giveaway / bounty balance.

2 minute blocks, isn't that like, a giant step backwards?

Yes, it's a step back in terms of time. 2 min blocks vs Litecoin's 2.5 minute blocks.

But, how does it hope to compete with DGC and WDC, who have instant transactions? And what happens, if Hashrate is low, it'll take weeks to move it around...Won't it? What does this coin bring to the table?

Nope, not really. Not even mad. I just find it funny. Since so few people even bother to post about it, it is obviously not a popular coin. Without strong community support, it will never go anywhere. Make sense? You can offer up all the bounties you want, still doesn't do any good, if very few people, are mining the coin...

I don't really give a shit about any other coin besides LTC. USCoin is just something I was able to catch onto early.


None of the other coins you posted have any community support but the support to pump it and dump it.

.
First of all, why are you answering my questions, and not the dev? Second, Both WDC and DGC have very large community support, and DGC just survived a massive pump, and was not dumped into oblivion, like WDC was, and GLD has a fairly large cult following, mis guided as they may be.

I want to answer your questions because you're asking me(You obviously quoted me). Survived a massive pump? No shit, we all want the coins to be pumped! Even when a coin is dumped, it survives. You obviously haven't be around long enough to understand that BTC and LTC are also being pumped and dumped. It's the way the game works. Nobody gives a shit about services anymore, it's all about the money. Get with the program, man.

http://www.coinchoose.com/

There's a whole lot of coins, near the bottom, that did not survive the dump

Oh I see, so it must be more profitable than BTC to be considered "Alive." LOL! You're retarded! Gtfo!

Well, if it's not more profitable, or atleast 80% profitable, then it's very unlikely, that very many people are mining it...Didn't FTC just have a problem, that, due to a massive drop in hashrate, it was taking forever for diff to adjust, and transactions took forever to confirm...

Basically when you manipulate the retargets or block time, you directly effect the coins security. This should all be taken into account when investing in any of the new cryptos.

received - thanks!

Anyone else selling UScoin PM or reply. Lookin to pick up your coins you dont want :)

Offering 0.5 LTC per 1000 USC

Got our first lead on an exchange in talks now :D

Around the time of the block reward increase, a non-malicious fork took place (one miner achieved a lucky streak). Although the only actual effect for the long-term operation of the chain is the possibly significant reduction in overall coins existing in a spendable state, the fork also demonstrates exactly why you do not want block discovery times under ~ 2 min. Although often overlooked, the block discovery time is integral to the security off the network. Neither bitcoin nor litecoin chose their parameters randomly. Having a good portion of your 'honest'/non-malicious network constantly behind due to floods of NB notifications is not a state any blockchain should target.

Is there a problem with usc.coinmine.pl? It seems the pool doesn't pay miner's shares... What's wrong?

Updated OP to reflect services.

The round is probably not over, gotta wait on maturation of generated coins probably.

Looks like 2 exchanges working on usc implementation, first gets the 50k bounty, second gets the boobie prize.

I don't get it, been mining for hours on usc.coinmine.pl, there's only been three blocks discovered for the pool?

Updated http://usccoin.org (http://usccoin.org) and updated bounties.

Any pools besides http://usc.coinmine.pl/index (http://usc.coinmine.pl/index)?

not P2Pool.

Thanks.

There are bounties for other ones on the OP, I had PMs about 3 others going to implement USC in the next week.

UakGgD1Vki15BqHMqLvMiEsWXCx45hkYMm make a test translation please.

Sent :D

Guys, how can I place an order on that spreadsheet? Let me also confirm, the bids are about 1 ltc for 1000 uscoins? I signed into google and cant edit the spreadsheet to enter my name on the bids. do i download it? then what? sorry for noob question, thanks!

I think barwizi is running it, ask him where to put in the bids. I think you can find it in the first post on this thread possibly too.

AMC apparently thought our coin was so awesome they would make one like it, but with 3 times as much premine and no rewards. Almost like ....an actual gov backed coin lol.

Yes, yet both equally as worthless ::)

Now all they need to do is raid something like the Socail security fund to pay for stuff... leaving us young guys with nothing..

Until they are on an exchange, none of them are worth anything generally. That is why you get quality programmers on staff and do it yourself, you build benefit into your product rather than post and pray it gets accepted.

keep staying active and dont let the hatters like Hydro get you down. If you believe in this enough it might go places.

Seriously?

Yes. Some people put time into something besides trolling every alt coin not DGC

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Hazard was paid to create this coin ::)

I noticed all these altcoins seem to aim for faster block time.  I thought this speed was chosen by the creators of bitcoin to obtain a balance of speed and network security.  From what i've read, network security is sacrificed when you choose a faster block time for a new coin.  What is the argument that altcoin lovers have against this?  Or are people simple falling for a "faster block time is better" perception that non tech savvy users (apparently) share?  

If this perception is false, there should be a sticky thread explaining this so people can understand that faster isn't necessarily better, otherwise bitcoin would already be doing it...

If this perception is true, then bitcoins block time should be adjusted, right?

And that would matter why? Each coin has its own life once it leaves the gates.

If the block time gets to low it does sacrifice the security of the network. Someone with more knowledge could probably explain it, but I have seen several core devs state that it would cause problems if you go 1 minute or less or anything close to it like 1:15 also would probably be too low.

Sorta contradicts;


He paid someone to make it, in hopes to get rich quick. And this coin is worthless...Noone is buying it, in WTS threads, so, it has no value. Worthless..If people wat their coin to be taken seriously, the should probably wait until the shitcoin storm is over.
Like, seriously? Do I need to hold your hand, and walk you through this? No ammount of happy thoughts, is going to save this coin

So what do you suggest, I should just stop mining it and go with DGC lol. Can you be more transparent? You should really change your avatar if you want to convince people that you are looking out for their best interests.

so then why doesnt bitcoin make it 2 minutes?

I think at this point, there is no reason to change bitcoins blocks, its doing fine without adjustments and it would just screw something up undoubtedly.

Ask them. I would like to hear their honest answer, especially since it has forked already.

The actual answer: bitcoin was the first in a long line of experiments. They decided to play it safe. If we have miners on mars, then the block find target makes more sense.  

I believe someone could tell us that there is indeed an ideal balance of orphans and blocks, because faster blocks do increase security in some measures but only if balanced with acceptable orphan rates (iirc).


Hydro, find something to do you little punk (educated yourself and speak less), lmao.  Joined in MAY with 1k+ posts? Please get a life for our sake, not only yours.

Thanks, adding you to the OP, if you have a wallet let me know it so I can send bounty your way.

Do you actually believe in this coin? Or are you just being an ass? Because, literally, very few people, even want his coin for free. If people don't want it for free, what the fuck, in your retarded little world, makes you believe, that anyone would ever pay, or trade, for this fucking piece of garbage?

Nice commas, 'bro'.

I really needn't say more. The opinions or questions of a complete novice that makes absolute statements without any grasp interest me little.

I am getting amusement from your behavior, though.  :)

Do you believe in life after love? Do you believe? I want to believe. I think we should all trust this guy he clearly has been here a while and knows what he is talking about since .... when did you register again?

Ignore him, he's a fucking retard. Just a no life bitch trying to make some money off some shitcoins because he didn't catch the train.

I figured, he certainly lets the butthurt flow through him.

Is English your first language? Terribly improper use of commas.

so most of the developments are ready for release, but it seems the community is only interested in new coins that developing current ones.

Whether they are interested or not, more development is already being done. Web wallet in development as we speak.

Looks like someone wants to make a USDcoin now lol.

it will fail and the feds will come crashing down on it, this coin will still be around though.

All other coins have bailed out but this one is slowly gaining. I think i'll keep my hardware pointed here for  while

Good to have ya aboard.

When does this hit btce?

Updating OP addnodes, there are a lot more than we started out with and will help with sync.

Updated on the thread qt.

I downloaded your .exe and get the following error: cannot run program. libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing. Fix this please. I should not have to compile your client myself. Or I can always go mine a legitimate coin...

threats don't work... the devs are working on a more complete package. But for this to work it has to be done perfectly. Look at all the coins that needed fixes...they were rushed and failed.

If you had any clue about what you are doing...since you mine "legitimate" coins, you would know that other scrypt coins have this dll file in their package. Try copy/paste (works miracles).

*yes I flamed myself*

Where can we submit logos to for the bounty?

What was the starting difficulty, I didn't notice it in the original post.

Also and maybe more relevant, is there a plot showing how many coins were mined the first second, minute, hour, day, week etc?

(Including hardcoded forms of pre-mine.)

-MarkM-

Are there ways to earn this coin without mining, maybe by writing?

If someone is interested in taking over dev for this coin PM me, I will push the left over bounty coins to the new dev and the domain and hosting (already paid for the rest of the year.)

Where is your source code?
