This looks like 'Weedcoin'

reserved

So this is yet another yet another coin clone?

Reserved.

As your first impression is yet +1 of those rather common points of view, yes new programming and code for an alt-coin are really something valuable, but at this point cloning this PoS system is enough to build a stable market. Our Crypto code development is scheduled for mid September.


No weed allowed ::)

may as well, since there was a failcoin already today.

 ???

So....what is the updated release time?

eco and mining...

why i'm the only one who think thats wierd?

mining is probably the worser in ecofucking than my car who slurps 20l/100km

Nfactor changing, is this scrypt or scrypt-jane.

Mind to tell how fast NFactor increase?

terrible, no value coin  ;D

In theory, you are making a logical point here, but isn't mining for bounties and pre-dev a counter-logic?
If the work is to be well done, mining less than 1% shouldn't be a concern.

This is a Scrypt-Jane clone, and the graph for NFactor will come with the launch.

Thank you, updated! :)

* Launch Announcement *
Feel free to post some nodes, we will update ASAP.  :-*

hmm just overlooked

been solo mining for a couple hours, about 50 rejects and no accepted blocks so far
scan time is 2, queue 0 and expiry 2, with a good internet connection and port forwarded
no problem mining other coins on pools or solo mining other coins, anyone else having this issue?

Joined the eco party :D

what should be the "cgminer" configuration to mine this one?

i have created a pool

http://eco.ltcoin.net


who can compile a mine programe?

Wait, that's YACoin!   :o

 - Starting 19 coins per block descreasing as diff increases
 - 7 coins per block @ stable stage

ಠ_ಠ

The git source seems to be missing a src/qt directory, and a scrypt-jane directory.

QtCreator:

so why should we mine this coin? any exchange, any markets?

Opened new pool with stratum support + vardiff:


You can use GPU miner from here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=269145.msg2946557#msg2946557

with following parameters:

You need to look for janeminer.

YAaarrr! going to update OP, thank you  ;)

Thank you fellow viking.

Thank you very much, this will be fixed within the next 5 hours.

With no github files, how can you attempt to do it? or should i ask where did you get the files from?

There is a greater vision being developed for ecologic purposes, yes there will be an Ecocoin market serving it's real meaning. We are not developing any faucets, gambling or pyramid scheme project, just because that's something **EGO** developers do for money :)

there was a bug in stratum server which did not submit blocks to client - should be fixed now

We are finding blocks now

from github...

Cannot get into the pool:

Pool 0 JSON stratum auth failed: (null)

EDIT: Pool is fine, my bad.

have you created a worker?

Created 2 of them, none works.
Tried the other ports listed on the web site, does not work.

Trying a new id/pass now...

EDIT: Pool is fine, my bad.

give me accountid

EDIT: Sorry, I am an idiot, mixed up the different pools  ::)

Ecocoinpool @ ltcoin is not working. Getting target-misses all the time. Other pools at ltcoin work though.

Ecocoinpool @ coinmine is not working either?! Difficulty is set to high..

Damn GPU miners I hate you.

I've setup vardiff for this pool so after few minutes difficulty should adjust to miner hashrate

1+ mil premined? I doubt if cryptsy will list premined coins any more...

Any exchange?

120k coins pre-mined, to be more precise, starting with an ECO 70k bounty pool -- why do you still bother wasting your/others' time/head with the same subject?

current block 35219 wtf ?

18days worth of blocks in 2 days  :D

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196196.2920 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196196.2920)

May be not working.

I also want to know

A working pool (that doesn't reject everything) would be nice.

http://eco.coinmine.pl/

Tried at the time I wrote the post before. It rejected all my shares from cgminer. You see also - pool workers: 0

Sharky444 get the new GPU miner and mine, got it working!

Are there any news about exchange?

No.

I have added ECO to the coins in the PhenixEx poll : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=285906.0.
If there are enough votes to beat the current top 4 coins, it'll be added in the next round of new coins for PhenixEx. So get voting :)

I doubt that it will have many votes so..

Since we still have a somewhat limited team, we have been focusing on the development of new projects/solutions only.
We believe that a market cannot depend on the exchange, but the exchange must depend on the market.


So much lack of faith.


Thanks for the attention, please recheck ECO spelling @  :-*

Okay I'll have more faith in ECO  :D

this is a EX-website??

Can I do the shop on opencart? Or are you asking for a 100% custom coded ecommerce solution for free?

Attention please -- some user out there from Ukraine: please update your wallet/daemon for the new version and re-download the chain, you are messing up the network:

Nodes: (confirmed v2.1)

Thank you.

(PS: Can someone collect the bounty for auto-update?) ::)

Well, we would prefer a custom-made solution using a simple frameworks like fat-free @ http://www.github.com/ecogroup/ecoshop.git (http://www.github.com/ecogroup/ecoshop.git)
But it's really up to you, there is a price range from ECO 10,000 to ECO 20,000, what would you like to receive?

Please also keep in mind that this project is to be forked from github, ready for installation / ECO-deployment. :-*

you changed Nf

The only change made to the N function was commenting a print to be fixed on the next update, there is a big TODO list already.

this coin needs more pool, exchange

It have pools that just feeds stale/invalid shares.. Not updated i guess..

New pool under http://coin-base.net/ecocoin/

1% POOL FEE
Payoutsystem prop
only 70 confirms

Mining: http://coin-base.net/ecocoin/index.php?page=gettingstarted

if this coin can't exchange
it die

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

I am also willing to share links and make YouTube videos or anything else.

That's a good idea, what do you think people around the world should know/read?
How could ecology help in everyone's life?
 8)

you pool get much invailds

I think any writing about the Earth in general would be good for the coin and the Earth.

OUT OF SYNC  

WTF

Not for me.  Don't you get connections?

yes got five

As mentioned before, there are some out-dated nodes in the network.
Please update your ecocoin.conf with the following:

Nodes: (confirmed v2.1)

still out of sync   
1 connection ???

i got 6, plus one from me, should be 7

can you share me the data? without wallet.dat

of course, i can, i will upload it and pm you link right after finished uploading

Hello!All done.Re-download block chain,re-install wallet.Where my problem ? See pic :

There is an issue going on with the Windows Wallet: wallet freezes constantly.

We advise transferring your wallet.dat to a Linux-based OS and run your funds from there. This should be done until a stable compilation is in place.

If the wallet keeps crashing on chain reload, back up your wallet for security reasons and re-run the wallet using the following commands:

Finally got the Eco-wallet :)

So dead, not even the website and downloader for the miner is working....Nice name for a coin though...

We had some downtime with our node1, but everything seems to be working now.

It seems someone manually returns back number of blocks at explorer.ecocoin.info.  Any reason? Possible SCAM?

I stopped my mining at about half hour, and in the meantime explorer.ecocoin.info returned back to almost at value at previous post. WHY?

really dead?  :(

Not dead at all, can connect, can mine ... be sure to add the "connect" node from OP ...

Rome wasn't built in a day either :)) so let's give it some time (as in wayyy enough time) to grow and look at it again in one or two years or so...

how to mine this coin ??

Great. Just when I buy some of this coin I find out the wallet link doesn't work. People should really make multiple wallet links.
Does anyone know if the wallet works ? Does it sync properly ?

I think there are two ECOCoins - try the link here https://bitcoingarden.org/forum/index.php?topic=13610.0

Hi, is this the same project? https://www.ecocoin.com it seems they have been working since 2009, but I am not sure if it's the same, in their site  they don't explain which kind of blockchain are they using..

The  concept of the project is very interesting for me. I'll wait for the developers to fulfill their plans
