I'm developer working with thanful_for_today on merged mining issues. I see that community is against merged mining in BitMonero but I still believe in MM. I will start my own blockchain with MM implementation from scratch.

New blockchain will need no additional hashpower - it will use Bytecoin/BCN or BitMonero/BMR blocks or shares as PoW. Miners are free to choose "donor" chain they like. In case other chains based on CryptoNote will appear they also can be used as "donor" chains. This way I expect that new chain will have more hashpower than both BCN and BMR.

[4] BitMonero merged mining post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=584893.0


First merged mining instructions for those who doesn't like GUI:

First of all be sure of two things:

• You have BCN or BMR address. If you don't know how to get it, please visit this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=544715
• You downloaded FantomCoin binaries and extracted them somwhere.

1. Launch Bytecoin's or Bitmonero's daemon and wait till its synchronization.

2. Start FantomCoin's daemon. The process is very similar to BCN's: launch command line, navigate to the right folder and launch fantomoind.exe . Use "save" command after synchronization  ;)

3. Create FCN's address. Again it is the same process as for BCN and BMR: open another instance of command line, navigate to Fantomcoin’s folder and generate new wallet with “simplewallet”.

simplewallet --generate-new-wallet=example_wallet.bin --pass=12345

Here “example_wallet.bin” is the name of the wallet (use .bin file extension) and “12345” is the password for your new wallet.

4. One more command line is needed. Navigate to Fantomcoin's folder and launch minerc.exe using the next command:

minerc --node1=127.0.0.1:8081 --node2=127.0.0.1:24081 --wallet1=%your BCN or BMR address% --wallet2=%your FCN address%

--node1=127.0.0.1:8081 is IP and BCN's daemon port. If you want MM with BMR you need to use this one: --node1=127.0.0.1:18081 instead
--node2=127.0.0.1:24081 is IP and FCN's  daemon port

5. Enjoy merged mining!


Merged mining with GUI:

1. Start daemons and make sure they are synchronized with the network. Use save command after it.
2. Start GUI miner. Add BCN/BMR and FCN addresses to the right field. Click "Start"
3. PROFIT!

As far as I understand, BCN has enough hashpower so it will be pretty much to use only Bytecoin/BCN blocks or shares as PoW. What other chains based on CryptoNote are you talking about?

You can also use Bitmonero's PoW as far as I understand.

Still believe in MM too. The idea you've suggested here is pretty nice but I wonder if you are going to create a new coin? 

Did I get you right - would it be a new fork like Bitmonero but with MM using bitmonero's or bytecoin's  blockchain?

What's the point to make block time so short? I hardly believe there is some impatient people who can't wait a few minutes

Why don't you make it 2 minutes like BCN block time?

What is MM? How does it work? advantages/ disadvantages?

Mmm, I'm not sure that I correctly understood. Do you make a new fork? Or will it be an additional app that can be used together with existing BSN, MRO and HP?

Faster transaction.

Why don't you keep mining BCN like you have been last 2 years by yourself and leave MRO the way it is. Then people can decide what they want to go with. Answer is pretty easy, they don't want anything to do with a coin that has been mined more than 80% already.

STOP MERGED MINING/GATEKEEPING pushing us towards BCN. They both can co-exist without merged mining.

Seems like you contradict yourself: at first, you are telling to keep mining BCN and then you are telling about some injustice that is actually doubtable, IMHO, and discourage people to mine it.

Have you compared the hashpower of MRO and BCN lately? Can you explain the trend as to why people have stopped mining BCN and moved on to MRO? I made my point (albeit a little aggressively) and no it wasn't a contradiction. We know exactly why this merged mining proposal is being shoved down our throats and needless to say it will not succeed. It will only cause a short term disturbance and annoyance. If you like BCN, please by all means keep mining BCN. Do not forget that an idea of clean fork of BMR was abandoned by the regulars here because they also understood that constant fragmentation is not a good idea and gave a chance to thankful_for_today to at least start listening to the community and try to see the majority concerns. The rigged vote system was also called out.

MRO is getting high profile attention even from early BTC adopters.

Your post does remind me of quoting smooth

Because you are merging Monero, a coin somewhat distinct for a clean launch, with a coin shrouded in mystery with a lot of suspicious manipulation around it (80% mined when released to the public, vague allusions to use in the darknet despite no real evidence as such, an incredibly polished pool miner (Minergate) within days of launch that just happens to charge 10%, team separated from the Cryptonote team for unclear reasons, etc.). That hurts the marketability of Monero. I highly doubt that Bytecoin will ever take off as it will never be able to shake the 80% mined problem. Look at how much trouble Darkcoin has and that was an order of magnitude smaller ninja-mine. 

Monero also doesn't need the Bytecoin network to secure its hash as it is already on track to surpass the Bytecoin net hashrate. It would essentially be linking Monero to a coin that will likely become increasingly smaller relative to Monero for no real advantage.

No merged mining for MRO.  BCN is already 80% mined.  It bad to associate good new coin MRO with BCN. 

Update: We are almost ready to start (fixed several stupid bugs). Will start in few hours.

no. coin made for bikers:  http://www.jointeffort.co.za/
btw, jointcoin is cool name.

Eh ... I put away my join. And I want to say that we have found yet another bug in JeCoin merged miner. I'm going to fix it before release. As a bonus for forum people I promise to release it with a GUI miner. Heh ;)

By the way... cool logo, baby.

Good luck, dude, hope everything go well.
Logo  is awesome  ;D 

I've read like there was another bug in BitMonero. It has already fixed.
Hope to see you'll fix everything soon.
Wish you luck as others  :)

1+

Monero network hash rate is now much bigger than Bytecoin. Mining Bytecoin is not relevant anymore. In the next few months, I don't believe that people remember Bytecoin as the first CryptoNote, but a failed coin.

A new fork is not needed. And remember nobody wants MM other than you only

Only time will show if you r right.
IMO, that BCN is like BTC in its early time and if you remember there were a lot of fork that promised to replace Bitcoin but this didn't happen. So, I doubt that BCN will become a ''failed'' coin.
But as I have told, only time will show

I want MM.

Are binaries and source going to be introduced in this thread or on some other place?

+1

First MM project on CN - looking forward to it.

Last one little delay:

Blockchain starts 5/6/2014 3:00pm GMT


Yes, it's going to be introduced in this thread.

Almost 4:00pm GMT already...

It would be better to postpone it for tomorrow, as it is late by 2 hours already

It's interesting but I don't find where is links to download and more info about m/maining...

amphibian, can you need a help?

I doubt about 10 min...

I thought that it would never happen! :like:

May be unexpected bug revealed at last minute)

IT'S TIME TO START MINING, GUYS! EVERYTHING IS READY!

You may download everything you need there:

one n00b question. Is it the same like solo mining, or more like pool mining?

Finally! I'm loading...
Just judging from the how-to this is command line coin again ;)

ps - Great job, really!

Solo mining, no pools yet

Just started!  seems to work ok)

I am so excited, want to download it asap. :)

I like your choice of curve emission - 22 is the best option as it is stable and, furthermore, is familiar to our community cause it's close to Bitcoin's curve.

Congratulations on the launch! GUI miner seems a breakthrough comparing to command line of other CryptoNote-coins, I'll try it tonight.

Will there be Linux binaries?

When i am trying to run miner i am getting:

Failed to get block2

Is it necessary to do this merged mining thing, or we can just solo mine FantomCoin like BCN and MRO?

I'm getting similar:

Failed to get block1

Coool! Merge mining goes on! can't wait to see first results ;D

First run both daemons , one for fantom and one for ex. monero, after sync run gui miner

Run a "save" command in FCN daemon.



Run a "save" command in BMR or BCN daemon (depends on which one you're running).

GUI-miner is awesome! It's very user-friendly :D

https://i.imgur.com/DghlI7F.jpg

Maybe can you do the same GUI-miner for BCN? Here is our fund - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563356!

I think problem was that i didnt  "save"



Should show_hr on daemon show anything? Cause it says that mining has not started...

Indeed! In comparison with Monero this coin support MM which open a transition to another level of mining.

Now, while some people would mine only Monero, I could mine Fantomcoin and Bytecoin at the same time.
Thanks a lot to amphibian and TFT for making MM possible .

I see no point mining Monero with MM, because hash rate with this fantomcoin miner is about 4 times lower than while mining Monero with monero's miner(win64)

Been mining BMR for a while already and now I've started MM BCN+FCN. Like the new GUI miner, thanks guys.

Me too. Fortunately I was close to PC to become one of the pioneers who have tried MM fantomcoin+bytecoin.

ps nice web site :)

That's better for me if there'd people who would 'solo' mine only Monero. MM is pontless only if eveyone would do it but if even some people would 'solo' mine only one coin that would make MM benefitial to 'solo' mine.

I want MM and I would do it  :) And I am sure DStrange and other early Bytcoin's members will do the same.

Downloaded linux binaries. Where is the daeamon and wallet? ???

No bin files

GUI has made a difference. No problem with merged mining so far.

And if i want to mine FCN only??
 
Edit: Solved :D:D

hey... jumping in here.

so far I am up and running. better execution than the mro.
in step 4:
should you leave out the % symbol
how do you set minerc for threads manually with out using gui.

A merged multipool (BCN-MRO-FCN) would be great...

Indeed, gui miner is as easy as count to five.

Would be wonderful to see the same friendly gui miner for BCN.

btw, using command line is good choice, nice to see that you've followed already become a traditional boot sequence.

Great job, amphibian, thanks for fixing network synchronization issue. Good luck!

Nicely done, merge mining FCN-MRO since start. Although not sure if i'll be able to get any blocks at MRO, diff is through the roof :)
BTW any possibility to use miner/hash optimizations from MRO? That optimization doubled the hashes at MRO.

IMO merged miming is a great opportunity to mine both bytecoin and fantomcoin simultanously. It will save me a lot of time!

Just launched the miner and all seems to be working just fine. Besides the interface is very user-friendly

I have started MM BCN+FCN just right now. First steps were easy and exciting. looking forward to the first results!

Great work!

How can you set the number of threads used for mining from the command line? My CPU is only at 18% so I think it must be using only one thread. Also, If it's all working what output should we expect in the command prompt?

awesome! I have a greedy question. Can I merged mining all the BCN-MRO-FCN or just two of them?

When I run the GUI miner it shows that it's running (hash rate shows in the start/stop button) but when I type "show_hr in the daemons it says "Mining is not started".
Is that normal?

Just run the GUI miner after making sure that daemons are synchronized with the network and everything works well. Great job!

Does everything go in the same folder? Where do you put the gui miner files?

Noob question:

Wen mining do we need to have wallet running, or specifying wallet address in daemon is enough?

Excuse me
4/ When i try to launch minerc.exe nothing happens
what can i do? Can i create a .bat?

Yes, you need to create a .bat file with the commands in step 4.

How do you set the number of threads? Can it be done, or do you run multiple instances of minerc.exe?

I took a guess and added,   --threads=4   , to the end of the command and that worked for me

Where are the binaries for the Linux wallet? The link leads to github, which only has source :( And I can't compile sources on Manjaro - Ubuntu is Debian-based, Manjaro is not.

Thank you. I already missed day one.

Worked for me. Thanks!

It doesnt work

minerc --node1=127.0.0.1:18081 --node2=127.0.0.1:24081 --wallet1=%19KZa8TXfGuixclib5aJLchuNj6Vx4p1eLjCmzwLULZqVEirOG7k4VG69MMBzsFUoPzdbd4ASch16fdnToeH2JoVJbXEQzB% --wallet2=%4oHUz1EBBBsFtsUbLmSQqRCqjjb6ks8tHUHySLRCGbimFfEyXhC9cxe7vghoIu53dEhp6ubEu4BF9bYbZ7vd45aTABzGHBc% --threads=4

Something wrong?

Thats whats wrong. People like you that dont know their shit and still talking big. Devs of this coin also made bitmonero with only target to raise bytecoin awareness and dump their premine. It was lucky for bitmonero that community was created that actually responds to people and try to make a coin simple for people. And make features for it...

Part of the people wanted the Merged Mining coin and part did not - I thought it would be a good idea to give people a choice. No one is forcing you to mine BCN/BMR with Merged Mining - please stop creating this delusions.


Can you copy the error you're receiving?

Also, new discussion thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=598823.0

I didnt said anything about your merged mining. I say that you guys keep not being interested in the community. thats all.

If you look back when Monero launch there were also many problems with launching it successfully. Even now there is problems with MRO.

IMO, that amphibian did great job! I've made my choice  - I will mine this coin as I can see its potential.

Is the website down for me only?

When I run the GUI miner it shows that it's running (hash rate shows in the start/stop button) but when I type "show_hr in the daemons it says "Mining is not started".


I also encouter the problem

who can tell me?

tahnks so much.

Still no answer. Bad to launch a coin with "linux binaries" and not to keep the promise.

Finally, it is working!  :D That is what I call a clean launch! Can’t wait to start merged mining ByteCoin+FantomCoin. The future is after MM. I believe this is one that will use 100% of my CPU power 24/7 with good perspective of stable income.

I have no error receiving
I cannot open the file
I double clicked on the minerc.bat and nothing happen

https://mega.co.nz/#!cdtmmC5Q!mVjlEyp_wWNqFWQb16vUFA0Wwm9OCeVHahzC0k2u7WM (https://mega.co.nz/#!cdtmmC5Q!mVjlEyp_wWNqFWQb16vUFA0Wwm9OCeVHahzC0k2u7WM) Here it is.

Cool! Merged mining-that’s what i wanted! FantomCoin to me is better now than only just BitMonero. Any suggestions on what’s easier to mine? BCT+FCN or BMR+FCN? I’m in favour of BCT as it is old enough and it gives a guarantee that it won’t just disappear in one moment.

I think FTC looks like a worthy competitor to BTC in the future.  I especially like the fact that it is possible to mine BCN + FTC together.

Congrats to authors! Well done! Using merged mining gave FantomCoin a great perspective! This is really a brand new vision on what CN-currency should be. In comparison with BitMonero the authors gave a great chance to use MM. To me it seems inefficient to mine only one currency now..

Just checked it - it works ok for me. Network problem, maybe.
Try it again!

Great start guys, after having to choose between two currencies, now I can mine two of them at the same time!! I believe I would change them from time to time. I mean my approach is to mine ByteCoin + FantomCoin for a couple of months, than to change it for BitMonero+FantomCoin as I am still not sure about future of BMR ::) . Any opinion on its perspectives?

BitMonero can’t compare with FantomCoin ..i can’t understand, why authors of BMR didn’t add merged mining support?? FantomCoin has all pros against Monero. Giving chance to mine both BMR+FCN is a smart decision. Definitely it’s a future of crypto currencies. :D

PLEASE people...

MONERO, not bitmonero. This name has been scrapped weeks ago.

Uneducated question alert:

When you merge mine two coins does it mean that hashing power is split between 2 coins? Or does it mine both with full power?

I was mining Monero with 6 threads with 17.3 h/s

Right now merge mining FCN + BMR, 6 threads also = 4.75835 h/s


(I kinda doubt that BMR hash info was correct at the daemon, because people reported less than my result on better i7's. I only have i7 2600K 3.4ghz, 16 gig ram)

Both with full power



BMR > BCN

Hit save one both MRO. No change.

Thanks.

MacOS version is ready: https://mega.co.nz/#!4Y8QEbjb!A1H1oyvMBNVcu1FCkAZG7hdMTDp-h705hbBo359esLM (https://mega.co.nz/#!4Y8QEbjb!A1H1oyvMBNVcu1FCkAZG7hdMTDp-h705hbBo359esLM)

That's awesome! Just downloaded MacOS version and everything works well

Great news! Does it work on all versions of MacOS? Mostly interested in 10.9 version

just started mining on the same version, seems to work well. If i'm right it works on all versions of Mac (at least on 10.7, 10.8, 10.9)

really cool! That's a real advantage of fantomcoin, because BCN and BMR/MRO don't have working generic versions.

I'm already launched PC version. Should i change it into Mac-version? How will this affect the profitability?

Be interested ;D

Can someone post the complete text from "start.bat" file that starts both the daemon and the wallet.

Yep, tested on 10.9 - worked like a charm. :)

How many coins total?

22M I think

Wow diff is rising fast, mainly because solo mining mro and bcn has become impossible for people with few high end cpus. Fantomcoin is the next stop for smalltimeminers until mro pool is introduced

Wanted to add: tested FantomCoin on my old macbook air (mid 2012) with 10.8 OSX version on it - worked like a charm as well.

 Which is actually awkward since Bitmonero’s version did not work. So, I guess we got ourselves first <OSX10.9 miner?

~18.4 M

Glad for you. Unfortunately for me, I was far from PC these days and have missed official launch.
Happy to find here mac version too and so soon after launching unlike BCN and MRO.

I want to start a giveaway. Could anyone help, pls?

WHen will a new miner be working? This one is shit.

I want to merge mine with monero.

if you can merge mine 2 coins at once, can you merge mine 100 coins at once?

Any exchange?

Hey guys

Updated binaries for all versions:

1. Fast BMR/MRO-like hash
2. Added win32 version (win32 version for now does not have a gui, some compilations problems, will add it a little bit later)

Updated links could be found here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=598823.0.

Update: stumbled upon some difficulties with OSX version - going to look into it. Other versions are working just fine.


Not yet, working on it. :)

Vote for FCN!

https://comkort.com/vote#FCN

 Thanks. Nice to Win32 ver. Looking forward to see GUI miner soon.

Is anybody selling FantomCoin yet? Is there a market thread somewhere?

We have reviewed the code and the merged mining technology. We believe that it is a valuable contribution to the CryptoNote development. Thus, we are going to officially announce Fantomcoin as a CryptoNote coin.

There is one issue with the block types. Even though proposed block structure is compatible with merged mining of 2+ coins simultaneously, the daemon apparently doesn't support it. We are expecting you to update the daemon with that issue.

Could you also submit the 50x50 px logo of the coin so that we add it to the website?

https://forum.cryptonote.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=172#p567

When you are going to officially announce FCNas a CryptoNote coin?

 You can buy  the old cpus at the flea market for solo mining MRO and BCN  ;D ;D ;D

There is no market and exchange yet (as far as I know)

And how much you will pay for electricity, if you buy a special cpus for solo mining MRO and BCN? This is a stupid idea

ITA! But I think the idea of  merged multipool is not realizable

I cant run GUIminer on windows server 2003 64 bits :(

What kind of hash rates are you all seeing on the latest release (5/9/14) ?

I'm getting ~9 H/s on an i7-3770 3.4Ghz, which is about half the rate I was getting on the latest Monero miner.

Why do you think so?

Multipool usually use its own algorithm to calculate profitability.
You won't to mine FCN-MRO-BRN , cos these cryptocurrencies appeared on the market recently. And this makes cryptocurrencies less competitive and less profitable as result

I guess it would depend on how effective those would be. Right now most of coins are each other clones so it might be even possible to some extent.

You only have to calculate profitability between mining BCN or MRO, both are MAIN chains, but MRO is SEC chain, so for each block resolved (BCN or MRO) you get another block of MRO.

Im not a DEV so i guess is easier said than done

As far as I know you can choose only  2 coins

ITA!

PS Can somebody advise online calculator of profitability?

I usually use these:

http://switchercoin.com

Market FCN/BTC added:
https://www.swaphole.com/#!market/FCN/BTC (https://www.swaphole.com/#!market/FCN/BTC)

3 Chart Types - Trailing Stop - 2FA - Fast Support

Finally GUIminer is available, I'm happy.



IMO, FCN is the best clone coin.  I mined 10 FCN yesterday

SoloMiner for PC does not available, does it?

Will you develop it?

It is avaible.

It is available here http://solominer.org/

Let me know if you have any questions.

I am trying to complete the entry for Fantomcoin. Can someone tell me:

1. Is there a premine?
2. Is there a block explorer?
3. What is the total supply?

1. Nope
2. Nope
3. Max supply: ~18.4 million

Thank you for the effort! Currently discussion is going in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=598823.0

What is a "premine"?  ???
Why FCN hasn't it?

As I know, premain is an opportunity to earn more coins at the same time. It's like "extra fuel" for the speedy passage of a blockchain

Premine is situation when the coins were created in “get rich quick” scheme in order to make money.
IMO, It makes junk coin

You're wrong.
Premining typically meant, mining that happens before a coin is publicly launched. As soon as it is made available to the public there could be no more premining.

I thought the max supply is about 21 million ( like BTC)  ???

Correct. You do not want premine.

Hey guys!

Please update your binaries - new version is released - introducing faster hash function (MRO like)

No more hash differences between MRO and FCN - mine with the high speed both currencies. :)

SoloMiner will be updated tomorrow, thank you for your support.

Cheers. :)

Did competition for the best logo over?

I would like to see results

How do you calculate max supply? Which parameters affect to this quantity?

I updated my Mac OS binaries yesterday and I mined 15 FCN finally!  :D

I have several noob questions:

1. What is "block explorer"?
2. Can I MM all the BCN-MRO-FCN or just two of them?

You must choose which pair you'll mine FCN-MRO or FCN-BCN.
Unfortunately, MM all the BCN-MRO-FCN isn't carried out

So I started mining with the command line start_mining 4 within the wallet, will it work?

Maybe, good luck!

The site doesn't work, does it?  ???

I just checked everything working.

Why do you need it? There are all links on the forum

I mined 4 days and I haven't got not even one FCN!

Is it normal?

I don't think so!
I have the same problem

Most likely it is normal. With MM you shouldn't be mining the coin on its own.

how many max supply fcn ?

watching

Max supply is about 18.4 million

FYI minute brought you by amphibian himself! ;D

General discussion of FCN is going here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=598823.0

All new downloads (updated hash for FCN etc.) could be also found there.

Cheers. :)

I don't know how to download the wallet.. Any help?

After developing monerochain.info (http://monerochain.info), I'm launching a block explorer for Fantomcoin, charts, stats, and more:

How many the FCN coin?

Do you answered to your question by yourself? ;D

How much coins are mined at today?

What about the logo contest? Where can I see the participants?

when do you think FCN will take off? or and be pumped....in the near future or, some news inc ...?

As I know all info about contest is posted here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=606048.0

THX,dude.
I want to take part in the competition

I don't understand about the pool. Can anybody share with me  info about it?

I added FCN to this poll>
vote if you like:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=568166.0

Thanks, I voted.

PS What is the point of this poll?

When will FCN be on Bittrex?

It was added FCN to the exchange two days ago as I remember

only 10 pages of posts? competitors are much more wordy :)

How is it going with merge mining and what is the hashrate of Fantomcoin compared to Monero or Bytecoin? Working good?

It seems  there is another thread  about FCN, which is the main. ???

I have not seen posts from the creator for a long time

You mine two coins with the same hashrate as I know.

IMO, it is working not bad  :D

Hi, im trying crypto note merged mining for the first time.. but i feel like i dont understant some things:
- with guiminer, i am solomining? have monero and fantom daemons opened and syncing, and as far as i can see, they are adding blocks as alternatives to existing monero blockchain..
- its 100 blocks now, and when i refresh the fantom wallet, its still on zero..
- running on 4cores, which gives me ~5H/s. mining monero gives about 90H/s on 4 cores, same cpu...

so, please:
- is hashrate ok?
- cryptonote based coins are still bit riddle to me, but i asume that diff is high and there is no point to solomine, same as in btc/ltc/whatever clones?
- so there is no point to mine that way without pool (which i did not find, in case it exist)?

thanks

Is there a pool where you can merge mine this with MRO?

As far as I know the pool is under development

There is no  pool, unfortunatelly

Is there anyone who have configured LAN mining for FCN?

I'm no expert, but I'll try to help you.
1) IMO, hashrate is too low. What kind of CPU do you use?
2) IMO, there is no point to solomine. I'm MM only
3) pool doesn't exist

Yep these instructions were good: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=598823.msg7051172#msg7051172

With FCN/MRO merged mining I was getting a too many files opened error in the MRO daemon (latest build) after a while (since I had 5 nodes connected to 1 daemon) so I instead am merge mining FCN/QCN instead, which has less errors in the QCN daemon (not sure why it seems to work better).
Just replace the MRO port 18081 with 23081 for QCN daemon port.

Its haswell i5. Im minimg monero with about 350H/s on more machines, but on pool..
I dont want to solomine, only figuring out which way this kind of merged mining work. Currently im mining vert on pool, which supports merged mining monocle and parallax, which is great, but if there is no pool for fantom, i just have to wait for one :)
anyway, thanks

Edit: Seems I had May 5th release which didn't have Payment_ID support which I downloaded from Sourceforge link.
To get latest, use links from Fantomcoin.org

What happened to this thread??? So dead  :-\

There is another one which is almost identical. There is much more stuff going on.

Why then this thread is not delete?  ???

Can you give me a link to thread that is active?

Here it is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=598823.720

Introduction is too simple
 :D ;) :)

It seems  it is absolutely no sense to write here?

Yes, it seems. There is discussion of FCN  in full swing

What do you mean? Do you need more info?

For some reason link does not work at my PC. Only I have such problem?

 Everything is working. Most likely you have some problems with the Internet connection

Is it possible that there is a difference in mining speed under Windows & Linux on the same system?? 

Can I mine FantomCoin in a pool?

This link is active for me also and it opens the thread, where there is a discussion about FCN

As far as I know, there's no pool for mining FCN

Does anybody know when it'll be created?

Nobody wants to do it. If I knew how to do it, I would already created this pool. Because powerful equipment is necessary for good mining of FCN without pool

Tell me if I'm wrong: the MM suggests mining of two types of coins which I may choose from FCN-BCN-BMR?

Does Fantomcoin provide complete anonymity as Bitcoin?

You understood it correctly. When are you going to start mining?

Fantomcoin offers anonymous transactions unlike the Bitcoin

Development is conducted, but has not  yielded any results yet. Be patient. Everybody understands that mining of FCN in the pool will be much more effective

I started mine yesterday, but since I have weak equipment, I don't mined a single FCN

 I have been thinking about upgrading my equipment, because it turns  waste of electricity and there is no benefit ( in coins)

 I think this statement is provable for every CN-based coin.

I am curious what FCN community think about MonetaVerde (MCN) as it's a second merged mining CryptoNote currency (after Fantomcoin) ?

I think FCN is the most safest and anonymous coin in compare with Bitcoin. Of course, all CN-based coins provide the same degree of anonymity

I heard about this coin first time. Can anyone share a link to info about it?

Here is the link: http://monetaverde.org/

I think that this coin is not comparable with FCN at the least because it is Bytecoin fork

I think MonetaVerde is a worthy competitor for Fantomcoin. The main distinction  is block reward function, but I'm not sure it will necessary for "experienced" miners

Does anyone know how many FCN is already in circulation?

I'm wondering that too. Where can I find this info?

Why dou you think the block reward function won't necessary for "experienced" miners?


IMO, all miners wants more coins 8)

What Exchanges accepts Fantomcoin?  FCN is trading on Bittrex or not?

Does anyone have some FCN they would like to sell me??
Many thanks

Why do you need it? It is more profitable to mine FCN. Be patient!

Super cheap coin.

+1

I am also started looking at MonetaVerde but IMO Fantomcoin in compare with it is much better. Maybe I think so because I got used to FCN already

Yes, FCN is trading on Bittrex 8)

This coin is a cheap now, but it will be much more expensive later. IMO, FCNs price is so low because it is new alternative currency, and because there is no one pool

MonetaVerde is good,but IMO Fantomcoin is safer cos I can see its developing. MonetaVerde is too brand new coin for me

I've got such thoughts when I saw my electricity bill. I guess I have to buy a more powerful processor

More powerful processor will consume more energy, that's why the payment  of electricity bills won't decrease

Yes, but  the number of mined coins will increase . Therefore, charges for electricity will pay off

I mined my first FCN finally! Morning was not so good a long time ago

Congrats! ;)



 I told you that you have to be more patient. I would suggest you to change the computer or laptop (where you mined usually) to a more powerful equipment

Why  there isn't any updates? There are no posts from the developers. IMO it is strange

Yes, I agree. This is weird. Somebody already mentioned here that there is another thread for discussion FCN

What's wrong with Fantomcoins? Why Bitrex purse is frozen?

I don't know. I have everything working smoothly

What do you think, will be able FCN become an alternative cryptocurrency #1?

I think FCN has a lot of benefits such as MM or good hash rate. Thus, IMO FCN will be able to claim for #1 of  all alternative cryptocurrencies

VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!

There is also FCN there!

Have you guys (or girls) heard that they've open new pool? (It's called Xmining or something)

I think that's a kinda one big step forward for Fantomcoin just because this pool is... "open source". If you know what i mean.

Another useless pool or start of something big and profitable?
I don't care about all open source stuff (i know that it's important, i'm not a troll), but i care about other things (uptime, payment system and etc.) What can you tell me about it, dear whistleblower?

I'm a regular user and i have no correct info. You can visit their thread here, on bitcointalk and ask all your question

Ok i'll do it, but i'm sick of wasting my time by reading meanless info.
But i must admit that now i have a strange feeling that i'm doing something right!

Hello,guys!

Let's VOTE for Famtomcoin

https://hitbtc.com/vote

I voted! It is great opportunity for "raising" Fantomcoin to a new level of development

I don't understand about pool. ??? Was created pool for FCN?

Look here  ;)

It is great news! I hope this pool will  justify  expectations

Amazing! I have a feeling that I was waiting for creation of the pool  for ages
Thanks,dude. You made my day better  8)

Yesterday I  tried to switch all my miners at  this pool and I can see the first results: it is great!  I never mined so much FCN for one day  8)

Any proposed Exchanges Yet it will help alot

 Dear participants of the thread, let's continue to actively vote for Fantomcoin. This result is important for each of us

Thanks for the link! I am very glad it was created a pool for mining Fantomcoin, I was afraid that it will never happen

There are a several good things have happened for the Fantomcoin over last week and I noticed its price has increased by about 50%. It is really good news for everyone!

50%? It is excellent. We must begin to actively mine FCN, I wanna become a billionaire  8)  ;D

Guys, do you know that Friday was the birthday of Bytecoin? I'm curious when was launched Fantomcoin? It will be great holiday for us

Why in pool involved so few people? For me it is suspicious. This can have a disadvantageous effect on the development pool

I still can not get enough of the fact that was created a pool for mining Fantomcoin. Thank you!  :D

I also do not mind to become a billionaire :D, but it is only dream :-\

Guys, let's vote! In recent days not there wasn't a single vote for FCN

What happened with price?   ???

I totally agree!


PS If you sign in to your Hitbtc account, your votes will be multiplied by 10

Great info! I didn't even know about it.

I voted! 8)

I think one of the main advantages of Fantomcoin is equitable distribution of coins, which I cannot be said about Monero

Actually a few people are mined Monero.  Monero team just use a stealth miner. IMO, it is unacceptable

The price of FCN has increased by almost 50%. What do you want to know about it? 

Where did you get this info?

Today I realized that  merged mining provides enhanced security for FCN. It is awesome!

How long this info reached your mind! However, I'm glad you appreciated one of the main advantages of FCN

Why there are no updates of the system? Is Fantomcoin dead?

it looks like this is dead

I  would have corrected  "it looks like  this thread is died"  :D

I'm agree. I haven't got a reason to write here

Hello!  :)

It's the Hibtc team here, we'd like to invite your community to take part in our Coin Voting process.
Only active members of community can choose which currencies should be trading on Hitbtc.
You can vote for FantomCoin and add it to Hitbtc. Every few weeks we add the coin with the highest number of votes. We've already added Doge and are in the process of adding NXT now.
A small tip: you can sign in here: https://hitbtc.com/signin and add 10 votes instead of one from non-registered users.
The other way to add a coin to the exchange is our Market Maker program. We add any coin with two Market Maker contracts, irrespective of the number of votes it has. Take a look here: https://hitbtc.com/mm
Our exchange offers unrivalled advanced technology and our latest additions have seen their exchange rates thrive once live on our platform. We think it would be a great opportunity to give your coin excellent publicity, and secure a boost to its value and liquidity.

Any questions, feel free to ask!

hitbtc is a great opportunity for the development of the Fantomcoin, that's why we need to vote actively

Is there any sense in this voting? It seems to me that the Fantomcoin community isn't sufficiently developed for such voting

Maybe you're right. But I think that the most important factor in the coin's development is active support from the devs

Yes, no one of devs wrote here for a long time, but I think it's because there is no bugs in FCN

It's forked from other coin. The same bugs  that exist in the other forks  are in FCN as well.

I feel that we are like tumbleweeds in the desert because the devs have completely forgotten about the Fantomcoin

Yes, there are no updates for donkey's years and it looks kinda suspicious

I can only say the darkest hour is just before the dawn. Let's wait.

I think that the Fantomcoin never lose its relevance, I don't know how to prove it, I have only my feeling

I noticed that people no longer votes on the hitbtc  for the Fantomcoin. I'm upset

The Fantomcoin thread has been moved. Read the OP to see the active one.

FantomCoin is so cool! but it's description is poor. Let's make the first post look better

The voting is over, isn't it? if not then I will go and vote one more time

Yep, I'd added logo and changed description. There are some new updates!

Guys, everything is already done. Go to the active thread!

Where is it? I found one, but you can't leave comments there

Are you too lazy to look at the first post, where everything is written? Here it is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=598823.0

Thanks! Sorry I just didn't noticed it there

The block explorer is pretty nice.You've done a great job! Are you going to create something else to promote CN-based coins?

A merged multipool (BCN-MRO-FCN) would be great..
