BigPi (BPI) - Grab Your Piece of the Future.
 
Pi is the most recognized mathematical constant in the world. Scholars often consider Pi the most important and intriguing number in all of mathematics. BPI was developed to embody Pi, representing a constant within the cryptocurrency space that we hope in time can become one of the most intriguing coins. BPI is a traditional scrypt Proof of Work (POW) coin with no premine and no IPO and it was launched with a fair coin distribution to allow all parties to participate the BPI experience on level playing fields.
 
The primary initial focus for the BPI development team is for a smooth launch, which we believe was a success. Next, we will begin ensuring the strength and reliability of the network, as we have already reached out to a few merchants to begin accepting BPI. Below is a rough outline of development plans, which we plan to update weekly with progress updates and additional information and/or details on specific items.
 
Development Timeline:
 
Strategy & Design
-Develop coin specifications, mission statement, and use cases
-Complete wallet(s)
-Begin researching and contacting merchants regarding inclusion/addition into payment systems.
 
Operation & Maintenance
-Launch coin
-Ensure smooth, successful, and fair launch
-Maintain strength and reliability of network
-Finalize agreements with merchants to accept BPI
-Additional features to begin developing:
        -Wallet upgrade: Implement web-kit tech, in wallet block explorer, trading via exchanges, coin recycler and network statistics
        -Pi Web: Online and paper wallets
        -Archimedes (PiBot): Beyond traditional accounts at Facebook, twitter, and reddit, we plan to construct tip bots for twitter, reddit, and irc users that will allow the sending and receiving of BPI through these social media outlets
        -Pi Club: Rewards for large holders, including entertainment tickets at select venues and vacation giveaways, and access to special IRC channel with direct 24/7 access to BPI team members
        -DarkPi: Decentralized - Anonymous Transactions and Encrypted Messaging
        -PiLite: Fully Functional iOS and Android mobile wallets
        -PiBit: Pay with BPI anywhere BTC is accepted (Thank to Veri)
        -PiPal: Buy BPI through PayPal (Thank to Veri)
 
Continual Service Improvement
-Receive feedback from community regarding issues/bugs or additional features for future development
-Set up 27/4 BPI Tier 1 Help Desk Team
 
As a mathematician for the over the past half decade, I have a strong connection with Pi and recognize it’s importance within the field. I plan to take on the development of BPI with the same dedication and commitment as I do all other endeavors, please feel free to PM or join the IRC #BigPi and ask any questions.

sweet picture of archimedes

Premine ? Hidden premine? Aftermine ?  ???

Premine is 50 blocks or something else?

Shadow - you got some ?

Looks like the St. Pete's Coin Dev strikes again:

:-)

3 blocks. I have very low hashrate with scrypt in solo.

Shit...

Disconnected. Pool difficulty too low.
(nicehash)

Hoop in and get some bPi

Archimedes is trying to figure out whether he should do more hooping or continue work on his kitchen tiling in the background.

Is it bad?  ???

No , st.pete gives us luck man! :)

Is it something wrong with renting VPS node ?
Properly right , " Dev should rent his own VPS to run node "

try again, i've raised starting diff even though it should have been okay already

At least it is not coingen with broken diff etc.

https://bpi.coin-miners.info/ is up and running

so , what happens after we've mined 3,140,000 BPI ?  ::)

Can you add the pools to the OP, dev ? :)

http://img.sc/img/4bb254ddd75cc5e362c2aad8c18862ed.png

WTF @ miningrigrentals

Mmh.. Min Diff is 256 ... Which should be ok, MRR is working fine for me at the moment

Dev gone! :D


My bad. Dev is still here. Hope for long. :D

Ports for solo mining?

Still here hahahah
Solo mine , You can create your own port.

Current Difficulty   113.21937360

You really wanna try solo ? :)

Deleted and again setup has worked. It is ok now.

okay great !

No, you can't. Does this run on port 9332, etc.

Can I see the source code?

Click on the github link in the first post :)

It is not there now..?


Ocminer - pls share your opinion if you looked at the source.

Thanks.

https://github.com/BigPi/BigPimaster

It works for me. I always use the same port for all new coins. Check your conf and miner setup and be sure your conf is like this:

Solomine:

Bigpicoin.conf

rpcuser=Getmuchobigpinow
rpcpassword=orgethefuckoff
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=55555 (any number you want )
daemon=1
server=1

so the dev premined 50k?

I am using cpuminer ;)

WOW. its been a while. I saw this ninja on the twitter and jumped on. Got some hashes at miningrigrentals (updates look nice merx :) ). Mining on good ol' Supernova.

Good luck and best wishes.

yes or no ???

I dont see that anywhere in the source, i got in at block 60, so the maximum "pre-mine" was 60 x 3.14 coins, but i have no idea if they all went to the dev or maybe if shadow hat some too etc.

If there is no hidden premine, I was connected at 50 block, so 50*3.14=157 coins

Not bad at all...

Like 19 blocks :))
You can check the code, I dont like premined.

Strange.. usually devs like premine! :)


EDIT: Net Hashrate: 34,743.53 MH/s @ block 186   WTF  ???

Current Difficulty    158.48402120
Est. Next Difficulty    439.04769243 (Change in 1 Blocks)

Looks like i stumbled into a good launch. and if dev a few blocks at startup thats cool with me. Just not too many.

If I premined , should mined at least 1%.
What a point, it is community coin so ( I will accept donation )

I hope you're not like Rumorcoin dev, when I donated and he gone after that.  :-\ ;D

Ralax. I not accusing you. Hope you are honest one :)

Crypto News Flash. Honest dev produces coin for the people.

We'll see.

It is total equally for all miners : block rewards constantly at 3.14 for 1million blocks. ~~ 1 year.

so 8251.09 coins are mined per day?
so it will take 375 days to mine the entire coin? any incentive or offer anything to mining this coin other then a pile of crap?

Nope. I think you've got it.

ofcourse not lol.

still no exchange?  ;D

Still no CryCoin?  ;)

soon :)

I'll sell it for 57 coins, people need? PM told me the price!

Sell what?

well said :)

u can..

just use for example in the bpicoin.conf
rpcuser=uruser
rpcpassword=ur pw
rpcport=12345
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1

and than use for example

cgminer -k scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:12345 -u uruser -p urpassword --thread-concurrency 8192 --intensity 18

#and than ur mining solo with ur own port

BPI

Spread the hash guys  ;)

Ah sorry, my bad. I totally forgot about the config file. I always just used the default port  :-[

Supernova pool down?

#It's working fine

Trex tonight?  :D

Diff has dropped a little. Go go go.  :D

No Problems here

Hmmm, i cant pull it down on my phone...

Hey everyone!

This is officially the first coined i've ever mined! I mean I still only rented hash but it beats buying coins on an exchange. Why not mess around with a coin with no premine or IPO, at least everyone will be on an even playing field. The ANN is a little lacking but hey, the Dev was around for the launch and hopefully he can update soon with more info and future plans. BPI is such a catchy ticker though for the coin and how could you not support a PI related coin so close to 3.14 :)

looks nice! Baking now bitpi mmmmm delicious im eating stake and pi

 need a node :P

So what? We were at 27Gh at launch, no exchange shortly after at launch dropped us to 16Gh. This morning I see 1.4Gh... no Bittrex in 12 hours after launch and everyone leaves.

Op update, Cheer!!!

How much BPI will cost RPI2?

Does the BPI has a price in BTC ?

Not yet. But maybe dev knows something.  :D

So it's a new crypto ? A RPI2 costs 0.17556259, here, in France. So when it will be available just look how much this sum make BPI !

Hey Everyone!! Thanks for all those who mined at launch and those who are continuing to mine BPI! There was a minor update to the ANN, so please everyone feel free to check it out and let me know if you have any questions!

got coins now pm me if u wanna buy

Guys our pool up and launch - http://bpi.binpool.com/

happy works and spread any hash on our pool

Nice ;) !

if my calculation is accurate or close.... there is about 18,000 bpi coins have been mined so far.

Woot woot, ~0.3 BTC market cap according to the last two posters  :o

Is BPi easy to mine ?

no

surprised its not been picked up yet i alerted c-cex

ill do 1% @150 but for 0,1

I can't mine this for some reason it say difficulty is low or something https://bpi.suprnova.cc

Hmm I see many folks hashing fine currently, where do you try to rent hashing power ?

What's the hashrate ?

Mining since launch, let get BPI into exchange .....


http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d4/Pi_pie2.jpg/220px-Pi_pie2.jpg

http://bpi.binpool.com/ - spread any hash on our pool

Not sure why people aren't mining this one....I'll just be thankful that I got in before the miners join in and diff rises lol

Thanks DoeBoy appreciate the support! We're not going anywhere either, we are here for the long haul!We're are developing a stable coin with a strong network, and obviously this cannot happen over night, so you might as well mine now earlier on :)

We got some get updates lined up too over the next few weeks. We're working on a timeline/infographic that we will be releasing in the next week or two. First update will be to the wallet, with a major overhaul and a lot of cool new features! I don't want to give away too much away yet ;) but everyone will know more soon!

In meantime, I really want to try to grow this community! I am spending most of time on the coin but I will try to be around here to post as often as I can and I will be on #BigPi IRC channel as well. There's not too many people on the channel now but hey it's early and were still very new. But feel free to hop in, say hi, or ask any questions you may have :)

Dev? did you shutdown the node?

Hey OC Miner where is your pool gone? I've been mining this.

Wallet not syncing. Nobody mining, no word for future plans. What's going on here? ??? ??? ??? ???

Please hardcode add node:

bigpi.conf

addnode=bpi.suprnova.cc
addnode=192.99.21.103:54340
addnode=178.33.228.14:51297
addnode=174.16.134.57:61727

I'd already done that but it started working shortly after I posted.

Thanks anyway.

This going anywhere?

any updates?

Dev, are you alive  ???

No news is normally considered good news but not in this case I fear.

Updates would be nice. It seems so odd to start a coin then just give it up without even an exchange to offload onto traders.

another 1 week  alive coin ?
