The aim with Mana is primarily to have a coin that is difficult and hence rewarding to mine, a currency that can be used as a store of value with deflationary characteristics.  The low block rewards and long block times are designed to prevent the devaluation that occurs as a result of mined coins being dumped on exchanges.  In addition the long block time combined with the 10 required confirmations are also designed to discourage panic selling.  
If you believe in the principles of this coin then we need your help and support.  We created Mana out of frustration as miners because despite the myriad of altcoins nobody seemed to really be addressing this niche, dealing with both tight coin supply and coin production.  We are not experts and so are grateful for any and all community help.

We are looking for team members to provide technical assistance for further development of the wallet etc.  Please get in touch if interested.

We also need a new logo.  Once we have enough submissions we will have a community poll with a 5 MANA bounty for the winner and 1 MANA each for 2 runners up:)  I have provisionally changed to a new less garish white background logo.  It's plain but I think any change to the old logo is an improvement!

Blockchain link please?

Do you mean a seednode?  It's in the OP.

This coin difficulty will be like 999999 because 60 mins time is a lot.

Someone's on the first pool with 209,640 khash/sec  :o :o :o :o

Wow.  That's a lot of mining hardware.

Now 466,399 khash/sec. Fake or real? Diff is 55 now :O

How could it be faked though?  Must be someone with a building full of ASICs.

He could be the pool owner, then it's easy to edit that info. Maybe he's kidding us xD

The difficulty is at 55 though so I don't know.

NASA please calm down with the Manacoin mining

bat is very stupid. He is wasting mining power because the difficulty will increase with his hashrate and he is f*cking the other miners.

Thats only my little GS

Pool got 600 MHS / Nethash 3 GHS

Yes I don't understand the reasoning for going to such a high hash when it's not needed.  Just wastes electricity.

I only have 600KH/s too.  Those figures are like BTC ASIC level figures.

Bitcoin ASICs are more than this hash rate. It looks real. He might have a really big farm.

yeah right
:( im out

I get the idea, but most other coins with only a million cant even be mined and have tons of features...I see no features..

I agree which is why I'm looking for someone to join the team and look at adding features.  Unfortunately I don't have the technical skills myself otherwise I would do it.  My hope is if we can build a good community round this and get established we can attract in the right kind of people to add those features in later.  Right now they are really not needed.

mhmhmhm 2 pools together roundabout 900 mHS but Nethash = 5 GHS ?

all Solo ?

I just set up a pool for Mana coin , i sent a pm to dev to add us on op

Regards
Coinminers

Who has that kind of hashpower to mine solo though?  You'd need your own power station.

Thanks now added.

Thanks Soul

bat is gone , hashrate going down

Well maybe that's for the best:)

Need to rename litecoin to the mana-qt, integrate node.
But let's e-mail - will build for MAC OS.. :)

Thank you have sent you a PM.

Guys any more suggestions are welcome.  Let's see how we can improve things here.  

Also if you have any people who you think could bring some skills to the team and would like to have a hand in development (or if you feel you are suitable) please get in touch.  

We are also looking for a new logo.  I think the best way to do it would be to have a competition with the community deciding the winner whose logo will be adopted (and who will receive the 5 MANA bounty).

It seems we may soon have a block explorer and a mac wallet do to members of the community.

I've also added a poll at the top for fun. (Are you a miner or a trader?)

Thanks:)

It's all about being a trader  ;)

Now it's a scam?  Nobody is forcing you to mine it.  Also I'm using the coins I have for bounties partly but I don't see why I should create a coin purely for everyone else's benefit.

Oh wow souleater.

Never heard that said before. I actually like the honesty.

Many other devs hide their profit somewhere, something breaks, or x y or z happens and this ends up benefiting the dev in some way because they want to get paid something for creating a coin.

For some reason that is TOTALLY forbidden here. Which is why we see devs doing all kinds of creative bullshit to get some kind of profit out of the coin.

So I like your approach, I THINK. So some is for bounties, and some is for you, which could be fair, what do you think is fair, the amount you receive for this. Im not being sarcastic either. Many pure POS coins leave a % of the coins for the devs, look at NODE, NEM and so on.

I don't see a problem with a dev getting paid. For some reason everyone else does. As long as the dev is up front and honest, and has the talent to make features for the coin, I think it would be unfair if he is not paid. I know people are going to jump all over my case for this but I don't care.

So how much are you getting paid, and what things do you have planned for the coin.

Again thanks for your honesty, it's pretty rare around here these days.

Thanks mate.  I'm going to keep 20 Mana myself.  The rest is for development.  55 have gone towards the current creation of the coin.  I just want something I can mine:)

Just to confirm I have 45 Mana for developement. So if anyone can help just say:)

That sounds more than fair to me, anyone who has a problem with that is just a tad bit too strict IMO.

What other features do you have in mind for the coin, anything so for you are thinking of?

At the end of the day. I still don't see 120 coins out of the final 500,000 being counted as premine/scam
There was no testnet, what's the problem? Instead the blockchain was kept going at 0.00024% of the total cap.
This coin isn't on an exchange, and we're going wait for it to stabilize before looking to do so, by then the 120 coins won't make a difference if it's dumped or not.
Don't like it? Too bad don't come here again then.
This coin is the ours just as much as it is everyone else's. If he wants to mine a coin that he also created, great.
Btw let me repeat, there was NO testnet, so don't complain about it being 1 block if it never existed.

It's too early to promise anything. We don't want to hype anything and end up as a disappointment. Also any help/ideas would be appreciated

dev im having runtime error... what should i od? help me. thank u.

Are you using the client posted in the OP?
What OS are you using?

Been thinking of it and you might not be a scammer, but who knows. I saw a lot of scam coins and that's the common method of scamming.

Scammer or not, 120 coin dump is a really bad scam.
Check the code also if you're unsure

Also have this problem with runtime error

Could you please tell me which OS you're using, the procedure you're opening the file etc?

it's working dev!! ^_^ but no block source.. :( i had connection last night and now i dont have connection though my internet is good... BTW, i removed the rpcallowip and it ran properly without error.. :3 i am using windows xp

Still having the block source error? It's been around 8 hours since the last block was found, if you just wait for a new block to be discovered, your client should sync up nicely

Not sure why that should be.  Perhaps someone in the community might have some ideas?

"Not not enough mana" first I thinked :D

Lol what does that mean?

Logo is deleted, no interest in coin.
Please do not use it

Oh wow that's very good. Soul_Eater is responsible for distributing bounties

Very cool.  The new logo will be a community decision.  Once we have a few more to choose from I will put up poll and the winner will get 5 MANA and 2 runners up will get 1 MANA each.

In case anyone is still having issues with syncing here are my nodes at the moment:


"addr" : "37.59.24.139:11032",

"addr" : "178.62.1.161:11032",

"addr" : "54.194.99.126:11032",

"addr" : "88.153.180.21:11032",

"addr" : "192.99.21.103:11032",

I'm still looking for someone to join the team as a programer/technical lead to help with wallet development and features.

hope you not a lier

Are you drunk?  Why would I lie about wanting people to join the team?

I have been mined, hope your currency is valuable
I have 1.3 MANA  ;)

Wow that's not bad.  What's your MANA address?

Lauxucas1FEUFY3XJ9LWp94kbpVrtXAiwg
 my MANA address 8)

OK now you have 2.6 Mana.

Wow, I received a 1.3 Mana， thank you
this time i have 3 Mana 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Is it showing up in your wallet?  I wasn't sure because the first part of the address was all lower case.

I haz 200mana. 200 more pls?
MaNAisAWEsOmEasdfghjkwerty

thanks for the node

it still says that "0 active connections to mana network" wierd.. my internet connection is fine.. dev, can you help me?

Node is added to the wallet   folder.     file “coin.conf ”

Where to buy mana pots?

I'll sell you the few I have, pm me

haha，i have 3 mana，anybody want to buy？
i bid 1BTC=1mana
 8) 8) 8) 8)

It's recommended to be careful when doing peer to peer transactions.
Soul_Eater and I will be working to get us onto an exchange when this coin grows a little more.
In the mean time, you can create a logo to win mana, or alternatively if you're really desperate, you can buy some off the existing people who have it.
I'm sure Soul_Eater can also sell some to you if you guys talk about it

Try adding ALL the nodes into the coin.conf folder.
Alternatively back up your wallet, delete everything else and redownload the blockchain

yup, i know it. hehe! i'm done reading how to setup conf file for wallets.

lol! my wallet is empty. i'll just delete the whole folder on appdata except for conf. hehe!

 ;D i deleted everything and extract new wallet! it's working again!  :D

all i undesrtand is hehe, chinese, haha, and solo. LOL! english please...

http://img2-1.timeinc.net/people/i/2013/specials/year-end/best-worst/grumpy-cat-600x450.jpg
i am stock with 9 hrs behind.. sigh..

That's great.
You should participate in our pools to mine some of the coins

where's the address? i want to dive in! LOL!

If you look in the OP, there's a choice of 3 pools.
Have fun!

Looks like the fall in hash rate has left the difficulty at 400 so the wallets will say they are out of sync - it just means that the last block is outside the target time.  I think one of the next additions to Mana should be KGW or similar difficulty adjustment to make this adapt more quickly.

Thanks for your support mate:)

Exchange?

Exchange?

Do you think it's ready for listing yet?  I'm not sure myself.

Just to point out I didn't mean I don't want you to list it.  If you think it is ready please do so:)

As previously mentioned we are also open to features/development suggestions for the coin.  Please let us know what you would like.

Here are some things we are already looking at:

1)Kimoto Gravity Well or similar adjustment of difficulty to reduce issues with blocks being delayed.

2)Privacy functionality

3)Greater wallet functionality (e.g. block explorer, exchange price integration)

4)Direct fiat conversion ability

Obviously these will be limited by our personal abilities and abilities to be able to get others on board to help out when we don't have the expertise. Both current members of the team, including myself are working on this in our spare time and have busy full time jobs which means we are grateful for any help.  Thanks:)

i'm stock.. :'( help me.

Could you be more specific please?

I think I misunderstood your question.  Maybe you could meet up with some vegetables and make soup;)
Seriously did you get it sorted?

Am still looking for someone to join the team to help with technical development of Mana.  Do you know someone suitable?  Earn a 5 Mana bounty if you recommend someone who successfully fulfils this role and joins the team.

I'm raising the bounty to 10 Mana for a working mac wallet:)

Well I'm keeping this alive for the long term even if nobody else is interested.  I'm still looking for people with coding ability to come onto the team and help with development (previously stated bounties still apply).  We need more miners too.  This could be big as a stable cryptocurrency that holds value and is difficult to dump but needs community support and help to get there.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81196340/Mana%20files/MANA_POD_4STARS.png

Been in and out of hospital due to health issues but am hoping to get the fifth star once I'm more easily available.

Well just to say I'm keeping this alive.  I'm still here and not going anywhere.  Join me now and you can get a lot of MANA.  A year from now it will be very expensive to mine or to buy.

Am still here and looking for team members:)

New announcement : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=880162.msg9712139#msg9712139 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=880162.msg9712139#msg9712139)

Been screwed by the latest scam coin? 

MANA is still here and will be as long as I am. 

Come on board - it might not make you rich, in fact, it probably won't but it is an honest coin that is designed to retain value. 

Since I still have most of the bounty money left I will be giving a 5 MANA prize to the first 5 people to post their MANA address here or message me with it.

Since things are slow and I've not had any new logo submissions I have provisionally created a new simplified, less garish logo.   Let me know what you think (assuming anyone reads this lol).  I'll be working on getting some new wallet builds for the new year and unless I get anything better I will be switching to this design.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81196340/ManaNEWLogo01/MANA_new_logo_01_250px.jpg

I'm still a fan of this coin. I will try to contribute to this coin as much as I can. Let's start again.

Cool that would be great - nice to have you back.

First we need to find someone with coding ability to join the team then we can do a proper relaunch with mac wallets and a roadmap. If we do a relaunch now we are liable to end up with people leaving again (particularly pool owners) because this coin isn't designed as a quick Pump and Dump scheme to make money.

In the meantime I'm willing to pay for further development of the coin but I need to find a reputable coder/programmer.  Do you know of anyone who is trustworthy and available? 

The first thing would be just to get the wallet code tidied up and get multi-platform wallets (OS X / Linux etc).

Anyway I know it's the worst time of year with everyone being manic busy over Christmas/New Year but stay in touch:)

Happy new year to all.  Just to confirm Mana lives on.  I have plans for a new wallet with extra features coming soon.  Rather than making any promises I just plan on releasing updates once they are ready.

Well whilst other coins continue to die MANA is still here and will continue to be as long as I am.

Good to see your project here  ;)
Will keep eyes on it once it hits some exchange.

You got my support here.

Thanks mate.  I'm waiting until I have enough cash to get some more work done on it before trying to get on any exchanges.   It's a bad time for crypto in general so I'm in no rush.

I'm still here if anyone wants to join in, help out, mine with me:)

New wallets are now live including a MAC wallet.

Windows: https://mega.co.nz/#!TswRlTbI!AwVJ6QT2Ko45P_5H5qmXfXHAtGQMtIb8l5-6wFnlGrI (https://mega.co.nz/#!TswRlTbI!AwVJ6QT2Ko45P_5H5qmXfXHAtGQMtIb8l5-6wFnlGrI)

NOTE: this only contains cosmetic changes to the windows wallet so is not mandatory for windows users.

Due to continuing health issues I'm going to have to put Mana on the back burner for the time being (I haven't been able to do much anyway).  If anyone with coding/programming expertise would like to help out please get in touch as I would like to keep Mana alive properly rather than just surviving.
