just download the client John and start mining , its great new currency !

we need to try to get it listed on Cryptsy  ! first priority !

This looks cool, but the client is the BOT client , hope not a BOTnet ? 

Mining now.

What exactly is going on here

I'm just fixing Jims forum - and teaching kids about the free market -

which in turn will help me secure nibble and add a Dynamic Checkpoint to stop the mini 51% attacks , - if that can't immediately be done , then i will do it later. - there is not rush for these things, think Novacoin logo.

other than that not much , it a pretty nice day , what you been doing?

this is a NVC copy , and as such worth mining - 10 block reward to emulate a slow release - do you like the AVatar ?

digitalindustry doubled his meds by accident is my guess.

Reserved.

What's reserved exactly mean ?

Just opened a pool:

Good Job !  ;D

Is this coin more real than Realcoin?

Only time will tell...

The nibbler strikes again!

I think this brings something "new" to the table, at least interesting anyhow . 

how many people would die to have the ticker CAP , be the same as the name - ?

Google hasn't even got that .

love those graphics , and CAP Presser the miner omg  , what do you find ? Scrap metal Blocks ? , its just so want-able - !

where does this cult of personality end?

After his most recent post, I would have to concur.

Is that even intelligible? I can't make heads or tails of the post directly before mine.

Fallout anyone?

Zomg, Fallout Coin!!

Our intent was to not steal any proprietary graphics etc from the actual game as we respect the rights of the owners. Digital however decided to promote it that way and cant say I don't enjoy the graphics and love his concepts but incorporating them into our wallet etc would have been unethical.

We are also quite excited we only got a mild bashing from hydroponica post your wallet ID hydro and I will give you 5 caps :)

yeah how good is it?  , and they want to go and call it BOT ???

its Cap Currency in anyone's language , and its my idea , and gift to Vern and team Merc !

I made all the Graphics from ground up except for the "Stand by background " - the Red Cap is a standard Red cap that was Image traced with Illustrator - its not from the Game in any way -

unethical in what way ? - the Fallout makers would probably support you #1.

and there is nothing that purely breaches copyright in the strict sense #2.

the font is not the same and Nuka cola - how do you copyright a fictional Red Bottle cap ?

#3 a request to cease would be a win fall - as you would instantly enter into Gamer mags and websites .

#4 no such thing as Bad press - its all just Press.


Ok final word.....


" hey man i'm a little short could you spare some Caps?"

"Thanks for doing that for me i'll give you some Caps !!1"

V

" can i pay in BOT thank you , "

"can you spare some BOT : |  : | "

go on Hyrdo - add the Avatar if you prefer CAP than BOT . - forget GLD its dead - you don't even need to talk about it - 7 million in one day = dead.

Guys,

Please don't look at hashrate which drops after every block found... This is just a bug in display implementation and I will fix it asap.

feeleep

hey thanks for being on the ball - cool

Also an update - stratum is not working for this coin (dont know why). I setup pushpoold which IS working properly. It is operating on the same port as previously announced (9102) but please update your miners if necessary.

feeleep

it was working , lol until about 5 min ago - it was for me - you turned it off ?

i changed to http - and it started up again -

it was quite unusual that we did 10x of average required shares and we did not find any block. I setup pushpool separately and started to mine there by myself. Then I found a block using pushpool. In the meantime I was couple of times restarting stratum server (viperatus and eloipool) trying to find out what is going on. I found hundreds of error and criticals in log files which shows that there must be a difference in coin deamon response and stratum servers doesn't recognize it.

So now I setup pushpool on 9102 and lets try to mine something!

Perhaps you have to implement your pool differently for the Proof of Stake currency

Here is some good Proof of Stake info:
https://cryptocointalk.com/blog/4/entry-19-what-is-proof-of-stake-how-do-i-mint-pos-blocks-work-in-progress/


I think Balthazar has some good PoS info regarding pools etc

so the question is - its been 37 min since the last block - guyse you delve into something you don't fully understand see ! - only a hard to understand and mysterious Balthazar , knows these secrets see.

now we are in front of Gizmo with no weapon ?



so you are saying you just sold all your pieces of scrap metal for Ammo and we have no Caps or Gun ?

We are fucked !

This thread talks about some of the issues:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=201230.0

Vern pool  pressing Caps  ?

yes on getwork also need to use the stratum fixes for PoS to do stratum

i know , i know all this - Balthazar was talking about it in his thread about 5 days ago - tsk tsk tsk - i would have check all this you see.  jks ; )

so does Vern have Stratum up yet ?

is it by design that this coin doesnt have a mining in wallet? you can set generate to true but no hashes show nor does it even have the mining icons in wallet or hash reporting at bottom.

CAPS

No luck with solo mine.....

Please give some BOTs to start: EokNDncJEBpPgh6hMe7mcKnLonXobtXQgz

Give me some CAPs

Maybe he has to update the topic , this links to BOT , but he claims the idea .

Also I'd like free caps !

Can you go into specific details of "Bottlecaps Stake Mining". Those links to Stake-coins uses real vague and uncertain explanations that do not offer specifics enough to be applied to this coin.

EG...

Previously mined coins, which are eligible for Stake...
- If your balance was 1000, and 1 is "available for Stake"... Does your new balance show 999 coins and 1 as Stake? (Or would it be 990, and 10 Stake-coins?)
- Or, is Stake going to just show the "reward", Thus, the coins will be 2000 and Stake will just indicate ??? % reward gains, as if they were coins...
- And... If mining, instead of getting a coin reward of 10, does it give us 0, and flags 10 of those available coins as "stake coins", for earning a reward?

There is nothing clear about the actual method, or this coins specifics to that unclear method.

It does hint that "Mining reward will be 0 coins when you find a block", and that somehow MAY potentially convert to a "1% to 3% Stake-coin", but then it says "of your total unspent coins", then implies that it is only the "total unspent staked coins". (Suggesting that the coins have to be "not just available to be staked, but have already been "staked". Thus, no reward for the block of a found block, which is what converts the coin to a stake-coin.)

To make it simple...
I have 1000 coins, they are all "available and ready to be used for stake-rewards"...
Now I mine a block...
- Do I now have 1010 coins, (10 from the found block) Plus ________ Stake?
or
- Do I now have 990 coins, because 10 coins were moved to Stake? Thus, Stake shows 10, and I actually just lost 10 coins... the 10 I just found. (Which the articles suggest.)
or
- Do I still have 1000 coins, and 10 stake coins, as 10 were moved to stake, and the 10 I just found were moved into the normal coins. (Thus, leaving only 990 of those 1000, left for moving to stake.)

In any event, the coins in stake are what is used to provide reward... does this reward go to the normal coins, or does it add to the stake-coins total? Or, is the stake area just going to show the "rewards earned" by the "staked coins", which always remain in the coins section...

I guess I can find-out, when I reach that 30-day point... But there is no real coin details to indicate staked coins, rewards, or other information that might actually be useful. The wallets are as vague as the article explaining them.

Would be nice to see another tab, where coins that are "staked" just move to... With another tab that shows the staked-earnings from those staked coins. With the ability to "remove from savings", instead of having to "reserve a portion for spending". It seems to be an "all or nothing" situation, or "lock and suffer losses" situation.

Also... it suggests that Staked coins will be 100% unspendable. Thus, "locked forever", or "disposed, but recorded as disposed"... Thus, we can only spend the 1-3% reward of the "total destroyed/locked coins", as the 1-3% arrives... 1-3% per day, per week, per month, per year? That part is unclear also...

Great questions and good ideas as usual , and a good spot to post them to ha ha ... when i saw this i though "wow they woke up and changed the name" : |

What i know is this : (but its not much...)

- Caps "mint" so its suggests that the reward is effecting the existing Caps

- I have not updated the new Wallet yet , but i will so i have to look... been busy with other things

- The warning on the wallet does actually sound vague and yes i agree will confuse people , personally i wouldn't do that .

- I like the Idea that minting should be "Seamless"  but with the "Minted" results shown in another column that , then > adds up to that total - 

I still get no connections for this coin.

I really wanna use either this or earthcoin.

So is this coin dead? Because I don't get a connection to the network.
