As a result of the Molecule fork - ATOM will be arriving.  Hold on to your particles...

ATOM will be released 21 December at 12 am midnight.

It is based on Quark, you can either use the built in miner in the wallet or download one of the Quark optimized external miners that can be found on this forum.

cool

So...Post-Fork of Molecule = Molecule...and Pre-Fork of Molecule = Atom...

correct? :P

That is correct

Wow two coins in one day from same dev...look in the sky it's a bird...it's a plane...it's a Super Dev...oh wait nope it's a retard.

I am waiting for IsotopeCoins.

New fork. lol

molecule to atom...

Soon : compoundcoin
Radioactivecoin
Gluoncoin


And more  ;D

We need coins with some big radiation. Something bigger than Shitcoin. Maybe QuasarCoins. :)

I see MOL took off, what you gonna do about it ?

so why the fork?

Because after the Molecule fork the dev lost his ~5,5% premine. With Atom he'll be able to keep it.

Anyone have some Higgs Boson available from the genesis block?  I hear they are hard to mine and extremely valuable  :D

So MOL=> fair  coin now  ;D

is it still planned to be released ?

LOL i'm glad you listened to my suggestion.

Knock knock..you still there?

Meh

Yup MOL is the fair one. It even had kind of a pre-launch party with the pre-mine fiasco. But the Dev saw the light and forked Molecule. Then Atom was born from the dust. lol..

Why would a fork cause the premine to disappear.

Any coins held prior to a fork should be present on both paths. The differences in two chains that forked only involve transactions that happened after the fork.

OK, it wasn't a fork technically. The blockchain restarted at block 1 for those who used the client with the fixed difficulty algo.

Edit: I'm thinking now that it could have been an unexpected and succesful 51% attack on the coin from the users who downloaded the fixed client, deleted the old blockchain and began mining from the first block.

The Molecule premine did not have to disappear.  I chose to go with it and let the new chain evolve on its own, to quell the controversy and just get it stabilized as there was and continues to be a ton of interest in the coin.  The Molecule binaries have had over 3500 downloads now, so a fair amount of interest for an alt coin.  I think, in the end, this is best for Molecule and it will grow into a solid coin.

The ATOM coin is coming, I have been working on the codebase.  I learned a lot from the Molecule launch and have gone back and incorporated a lot of fixes and changes in ATOM.  But I am also taking my time and not rushing it out the door, so we don't have a repeat of the Molecule fiasco.  I am planning to release ATOM this weekend probably Saturday night.  One of the things I am working on is better tutorial info and docs as it seems with Molecule we had a ton of people "new" to coins jump on board and I expect ATOM to attract even more new folks.  IMO getting more people interested in cryptos is a good thing.

I really wasn't expecting there to be such a massive amount of interest :-)  Its great, and feels good.  I thought I would be fighting a long uphill battle to gain interest in the coin.  I pushed Molecule out sooner than I probably should have, because I thought I would have time to catch up on the infrastructure afterwards.  With ATOM I want to be ready before releasing the binaries.

I also have another longer term coin project that won't be ready until February/March timeframe, which is a reimplementation of the Bitcoin protocol as opposed to a fork of the existing Bitcoin codebase, with some enhancements, a cool client UI and a new PoW algorithm.

This is exactly what happened.  It could have been corrected - but at that point, why bother?  It provided a convenient way out from under the "premine" controversy and was extremely fair.

Will atom use the balances from the prefork or starting from scratch?

I really don't understand why Atom needs to exist when Molecule is doing well. Why not just focus on that instead?

So mining Molecule is worthless then? Is the Molecule supposed to live alongside Atom, or it'll be merged into Atom? What's the story?

Judging by the amount of mining going on with Molecule I'd say it is far from worthless.  Molecule and Atom will live on side by side as two separate, independent coins.

Will Atom use the prefork balances? How do you plan to handle that or are you starting from scratch.

Starting from scratch, as I made some changes to the coin parameters to differentiate it and make it more competitive.

Atom will be dropped Dec 21 @ 12 am.

CST?

12 am EST.  Saturday night after I get home from Xmas shopping ;-)

Almost seen the title thread as: [PRE-ANN][ATO] ATOM - Born from Molecules and Dropping(s) 12/21 @ Midnight EST

best of luck to this coin

fork of a fork

inforkception  :o

cec

Only CPU right ?

It must be. Based on Quark.

will the Molecules mined on the first fork be available as atoms? I deleted that wallet and it held 9k :P

So it's Saturday 6 AM CET? A bad time for a release.

Watching.......

Why would anyone release a coin at 12am EST.  That is a sure way to eliminate a huge percentage of people in EST.

Preparing pool :)

yah, cause the world revolves around w/e the fuck you happen to live

You should have posted link instead of letting new players search the whole forums to get your miner.

Hey fucktard, noone ever said that. There are times that would better for a lot of regions. Hell, do it one hour earlier and makes it just as easy, if not easier, for many time zones.

Based on this:

http://www.atocoin.com/video-2000000-atom-giveaway/

Atom is going to have at least a 2 million premine.  Have you not learned from your previous mistakes with Molecule?

Yes actually, Higgscoin is a excellent crypto - no premine + 'gravity well' difficulty adjustment algorithm

Here is a picture of my (liquid helium cooled) mining set-up:

http://s18.postimg.org/59vxgehkp/download.jpg

The power usage is a 'little' on the heavy side, but I can mine the mass out of the very fabric of space-time  ;D

FR

I thought I was only one who had one of these... ?

ok, I lol'd on that one.

how I mine? with MOL wallet? cant fiind a wallet or info via website or forum.

[PRE-ANN][ATO] ATOM - Born from Molecules and Dropping 12/21 @ Midnight EST

[PRE-ANN] <--

At least organize the Git: https://github.com/moleculecoin/atom

Are we supposed to *watch* the project to learn when you provide the source to compile? (serious question)

The coin drops tomorrow night 12/21 at midnight EST.  I chose the time mainly for my own convenience as I still have some Christmas stuff to wrap up.  Sorry if it is inconvenient for anyone.

Links to wallet downloads, source code, miners, giveaway updates, etc. will come along with the announcement when the coin is released.

Thanks for all of the interest!

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x18mnh1_atom-launch-pre-announce-trailer-coming-dec-21_tech

The source code for coins is out there... everyone is free to create their own coin in the way they think it should be done based on their own ideas.

Waiting for this coin  ;D

Which means premine. Good luck with the coin.

No. Read what he said again. As far as I can tell he didn't make any mention of HIS coins source code being available.

so nice :) when we can download wallet?

I read it as, if you dont like how I am releasing this coin, go make your own, which is fine. He can do whatever he wants, even if that means premining the heck out of it.

heh true

The source code for Atom has not been pushed to github yet.  It will be pushed to github when the rest of the release is posted.  Thanks again for all the great interest!

https://i.imgur.com/uvt0DkY.jpg

lol very nice  ;D

yea, I check github several hours ago and only the readme is there.

In 28 hours.  :-)

Wait, wouldn't that be 12/22 12AM?

no...  ::)

let me get this straight, the blockchain restarted and you lost a small premine but had a successful coin launch ? It's your coin so you do as you please but  i would have just said forget the premine / go for it ??

Yeah, no chit . . . here I was thinking the release was 12/21 12:00am EST (which was 5 minutes ago), apparently the dev doesn't realize how dates work

Saturday night, 12:00am CST is actually 12/22

Same here  :D :D :D

Why would we want to mine this? There are already 4,000,3322 alt coins out there, destined for the virtual toilet. Nobody is adopting them, nobody wants them, yet people keep making them....

Zzzzz....

While I don't disagree there will come a time when a new altcoin skyrockets.

This was like 26 minutes ago.

Yeah what is going on here? Another bad coin IMO

I think the creator is confused with the date system. He did mean the 22, not the 21.

Small details matter. Like knowing how to tell the time...

plz, destroy the premine shit

tnx

Next we will have proton, neutron, .... hmmm gotta split those quarks now  ;D

Just under 1 hour to go :D

I'm staying awake and sober on a Saturday for this one

It's past midnight - where's my Atom?

cpu coin or gpu coin？？

It's 8:45 EST now, right? So the coin will be started in 3 hours ?

I guess they meant midnight the 12/22  :D

Try not to divide this one.

i'll wait for thisone

I'll wait for the boson, as it gives a mass to all my other coins

when start?

By Midnight EST I would think 9 hours and 20 minutes left to go.

fuck always when i go to sleep

Im waiting!

12:00:00 AM is Midnight.  It's a common misconception that the new day begins exactly Midnight.  So he is correct stating that it will be released on 12/21/2013 12:00:00 AM, assuming he is isn't one second too late, cause that would be 12/22/2013 12:00:01 AM.

Has anyone clicked the WordPress logo in the upper left corner on the website?????  Not one of the dropdowns, but the actual logo.  Did I find an Easter Egg?

Why is there a bunch of stuff about Seals new album on the website?

is there anything compiled already?

yea 5am GMT, so an ANTI EURO coin  :D

Really? No one thinks the link to NSA.gov on their site is a bit funny?

This isn't true. In every environment where there's an official stance on this, (military, for example) 12:00:00 AM midnight is the start of the next day. 12:00:00 AM is just as much tomorrow as 12:00:01, it's the second between 11:59:59 and 12:00:00 that makes the difference.

In casual day-to-day use, however, people treat midnight as if it belongs to the day it follows all the time, so it's common enough that no one should be surprised this dev did so.

That said, it's best to avoid saying anything is happening at midnight, to avoid confusion. That's why airlines never have midnight flights, they have 11:59PM and 12:01AM flights, and a midnight showing of a movie is typically at 11:59PM.

EDIT: There's one exception I know of to the 12:00:00AM rule, and that's ISO 8601. TheBeardedMann may be basing his info on that standard.

+1

So how long until the launch?

The 24 hour clock is based on hours past midnight.  So yeah, I was basing it off ISO 8601 (had to Google that one, didn't know the "proper name" for a 24 hour clock).
All in all, never use midnight for announcements, documents, invitations, etc.  You might get Newmannium'd http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Millennium_(Seinfeld) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Millennium_(Seinfeld)).

3 hours.  :-)

we are near :)

so its a totally cpu-coin?

Yes, although there is a GPU miner available called Smelter that some people have used with Quark-based coins with success.

So how much time left for launch ?

about an hour!

So I cant use Cudaminer?

with Nvidia what app would you suggest be the best app?

Thanks

nope  :-X use one of these http://sourceforge.net/projects/philosopherstone/files/QRK/

I guess no one else noticed it  ::)

Edit: It's gone now?

Ha!  It is gone now.  Awesome.

wallet can be posted here?
site is very slow.

no wallet yet, please wait another 20 min

Here's the link and the redirect to NSA.gov:

http://www.atocoin.com/wp-admin/about.php

insert useless newb comment here

Good luck on this launch!  I've been keeping up with it for a while now, hope it all goes smooth.

Will there be a pool?

Yes. Eventually. I think.

probably not for a little while at least

Has this been premined?

where's wallet
i can not find the link to download

i think yes , also i think now its time for the launch :D

where is the download link for the wallet?

Not released yet. wait for it.

it's almost time!!! Woot!

Waiting...

It's already the time to launch.

I call your comment and raise you a noob question. Where is the wallet download?

what difference between wallet mining and MinerD ?

It hasn't been posted yet.

NO IT'S NOT NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP THEY STILL HAVE 4MINUTES DOUCHE BAG

Wallet Windows

…coming soon  ???

That could make an improvised wallet

Still 2 minutes to release time...

linux x64 build is broken.

Mining now. No errors.

did you add the files in appdata/atom folder?  ::)

yup premined :( also what is the rpcport ?

I hate premined coins. This shit sucks. I smell a scamcoin.

Also no .conf?

Step 3 – Copy the blocks and chainstate folders from the extracted ZIP to the AppData\Roaming\Atom folder - See more at: http://www.atocoin.com/how-to-get-started-with-atom-on-windows/#sthash.VimQz8Jn.dpuf

why premined?  ???  ???  ???

Premined. Fail.

"difficulty" : 3.29899826,

all we need is the port #

The coin was out like 30 minutes before midnight on the official site, which apparently no one here looked at.

As for people confused over premine the creator had an exact copy of this that forked and didn't have a premine. This coin only exists so the dev could premine.

Interesting, looking forward to seeing developments

At least the difficulty is holding steady.

I got 2 of the thousands of blocks mined already.  Anyone else?

Seriously.. fuck this

How much all coins? 10kk was premined omg

if its 0,1-2% its ok, if its 7+% its not profitable coin.

"difficulty" : 54.84118345

So many new coins in so many days...who can keep up. do diligence.

Just for clarity this coin is not associated with my exchange Atomic-Trade.com

I got a total balance of 3072.00 ATO

i was able to hit 8 blocks but i don't feel good about it. like a young man coming in for a quicky.

100,000,000 total coins. That means TEN PERCENT of the entire supply is already mined. That's hilarious. Will not bother with this, it will never even make it to an exchange

Byron hope you get all ALT coins on there.  We need a damn exchange that has everything!

no block source available?
people who are mining have u compiled from source or binary?

Seriously though, WTF on the difficulty?  It's 86 now.  And probably a lot higher since I had to type this out.

I just have to link this and hope it does "smooth":
http://www.atocoin.com/difficulty-smoothing-for-more-pleasant-mining/

Not a single block...  Difficulty: 86.95563837...  Eff this

Just reposting it to new page.

seed nodes r not there, maybe the source is wrong

Already synchronized without addnodes.

Lol 108 difficulty.

When I started it was 4....

I don't nkow how many of you guys did earthcoin last night on it's launch but it had the same issue then after a little time everything setting down and it's mining perfetly now

WTB Atom 10000000 Atom=10 Dogecoin

I'm "okay" with the premine.  It's the difficulty that pisses me off.  That's we sit here and wait for these releases, so we don't get those insane difficulties at first.

Note: I'm way late to this crypto game by the way.  I just got into it a few months ago.

Haven't found any blocks yet. Difficulty is at 87 last time I checked. No sure I'll find one now. Anyone know how to calculate time to find a block for this coin?

Wallet won't stay synced

and

PREMINE SUCKS

I can understand a little for bounties and such, but 10,000,000 coins?  over 10% of total supply?

+1 I feel your pain  :'(

Dev better give away A LOT of these coins, otherwise it's dead

Yeah, difficulty too high. No mind blocks for me  :(

There is simply no fair way to launch a coin now. Too many people are waiting to pounce on it with extremely high hash power. Doesn't matter if it's SHA256, SCRYPT or CPU only.

Molecule - good coin
Atom - scam coin.

dam the difficulty :( anyone knows the rpcport ?

if hes going to give away some i can understand the premine. what sucks the most is difficulty for solomining  :'(

cpuminer works with this?

Difficulty Climbing!  :o


"blocks" : 10268,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 206.71209078,


What Pre-mine?

try these http://sourceforge.net/projects/philosopherstone/files/QRK/

You can just set up zero block value for first N blocks, so anyone can get miners ready.

premine over 2million ,then Improve the difficulty quickly,do you think it's fair?

And again.

atom-qt: src/main.cpp:1174: unsigned int GetNextWorkRequired(const CBlockIndex*, const CBlockHeader*): Assertion `pindexFirst' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

thats what it does when I run it and then it closes, running from source

I cant add every single coin in existence but i will add coins based on users votes. Once I make an official thread ill start the voting. Already planned is USD/BTC/LTC/WDC/XPM/TAG

nocoin,

chill the F*&ck out, we all get what your saying. we are all adults here you dont have to "save" anyone.  Just chill out.


j

9000 blocks from start. This is premine.
SHITCOIN.

rpcport is 1174 for your miners and .conf by the way

I think coins should be launched with a pool...

The question is how do I import my pre-fork molecules into this?

http://pix.academ.org/img/2013/12/22/cd17fb8f60984b693fe173ede79aefc9.jpg

 What is the reason?

That's one ugly wallet.

Mined 65,000 ATOM then they all vanished from my wallet. Wallet address hasn't changed, so I don't think it deleted and created a new wallet.dat file, the coins just...disappeared.

I call BS

need a pool
"difficulty": 681.19564545

i need a pool to mine this coin so i wtb 1000 atom for doge , please pm me

I wish, but it just did it again. I made a new wallet because I was worried the old one was corrupted or something, I mined 921.60, they were in my confirmed balance, then they were gone. The mining transaction is still listed, and there are no outbound transactions.

https://i.imgur.com/LnCX6xH.jpg

Staying away from this coin for now I guess, I don't trust it.

E3 1230 V2 SOLO 1 hours  ....      0

Was your wallet encrypted btw?

And it's gone www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nVk25ZvTkU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nVk25ZvTkU)
Damn, I have a strong feeling these new coins haven't even been tested

It wasn't, but I've mined to unencrypted wallets on most coins I've used and never had a problem. I'll give it a shot again with an encrypted wallet and see if it makes a difference, but I'm doubtful.

I haven't had any troubles at all mining bud. What is your address, i'll shoot you some.

Are you finding a lot of blocks? I haven't found anything in almost 2hours

I mining with 16 cores
2:00 elapsed
8h2.34 Ghz
4h2.37 Ghz
4x2.75 Ghz

and found nothing ... and the complexity grows
I think this coin is doomed to failure

me too;

My address is EdCPDK1KV2B5SAhvzr9NjEqMbQFmoFuBye

Thanks, I appreciate it! Mining went great for a little while, I found 60-70 blocks in a very short time, then *poof*

I'm going back to molecule coin. I've not mined a single atom coin.

nothing else to say

http://www.atocoin.com website don't work anymore...

I can't access it either ???

Pool  started


http://ato.mine-pool.net

What is the clue of creating Atom if we have Moleculecoin? Why we should trust? What if in two days founder will announce new NeutrinoCoin or ElectronCoin?

Looks like it went down briefly due to the traffic spike.

They will. It is just a con game to profit off ignorant noobs. Same as Earthcoin. Probably the same group of scumbags...

Smelter, the GPU miner for Quark-based coins, pays a 10% fee on each block to its creator. It's not ideal, but the miner is very effective vs. strict CPU mining.

And yet I think is worth a try ... Mining in the pool

diffitsulty very high and the price of the stock exchanges, if the coin there will be high ... and premining not prevent currency work and bring profit

yes, it is insulting that the developers have cheated ... but not all poterenno for ordinary people

Does this pool even work been mining from it seems to mine ok yet I have not seen any payouts not having a way to keep track of what you have earned sucks and I have yet to see a payout go through

I find it amusing that everyone is upset about the premine.  I warned everyone earlier in this topic and before it was released that he intended to do that.

Pre-mined. No thanks. Next...

I don't think you can.   It looks like the dev started over with a new genesis block:

ATOM:

MOLECULE:

So, despite the fact that the dev originally said something like "hang onto" those prefork molecules when the fork happened on launch night of molecule, I don't think your private keys for pre-fork molecules are worth anything here, unless I'm missing something.  Looks like the dev just mined a new genesis block and privately premined the amount he wanted before re-releasing Atom.

Premine!

This is so scumbag  >:(

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

You're right.
So, we have the winner. Dev wanted to premine molecule, but failed at it, that's why he made this new coin. Just for his own profit.
This is a scam coin 100000%

Nothing could be further from the truth. 

There is NO scam. 

No matter how much you try to shill for your favored coin by attempting to plaster scam all over my thread, it will not make it so.  If you want to mine Frozen, then go mine Frozen and be happy.  Find something to be positive about.  Molecule was intentionally forked so the community would have a choice - MOL with no reserve pool for promotion, and ATO with a reserve pool of promotional currency.  MOL has taken off like crazy particularly in China.  Meanwhile ATOM will continue to gain mindshare and marketshare.

GO ATOM!

Dude, you first created molecule (MOL) premining it. We all started mining it and you dump it to create this shit (ATOM) which is also premined. What happens then with the 10k MOLs I have mined? How can I trust you this time? Will you change me my 10k MOLs for 10K atoms?

This is a joke...

This pool isn't giving me anything anymore.. It was going fine for a long time but now it seems to be at an unreasonably long pause.

Tyme and I have already successfully completed a transaction for 13K Mol,
He is a trusted seller. ;D

I want to buy 100k Mol, PM me.

I'm selling some ATOMs, PM me if you are interested.

Yeah can you explain this  ?
Have you bee hacked or something cos I don't think the NSA is behind is, pretty clumsy start ::)

pool hashrate over 1GH already. thats a good sign for the coin

Selling 4409.37 ATO.  PM me and make an offer.  I accept BitCoin, MemoryCoin2.0, LottoCoin (preferred) and Whiskey.

If there is no scam how would you explain creating second coin after first premined coin forked into not premined coin. Why didn't you keep just one coin? Because there was no profit for you. That makes perfect sence.
