"Fair" start without binaries?
Did you think most of people in the world can compile it?

Thats beautiful logo. Very nice.

Nice coin, reserved

Will there be "leap" blocks with "366" coins?  ;D

I'm working on compiling XmasCoin-qt for Windows, was a bit complicated because my operating system had a crash, for now I only have Linux binary, and am working on the MacBook, while windows is reinstalled. If you can compile and pass the whole community would be great: D

Pool coming soon

really?
please remove that.

Pool added on hackshard.com

shit,client???

Confirm time?

I like the logo, will mine it!

they all look just the vultures out a new currency just entered were 3 to mine after a second 100 people and the gain is decreased.

confirming that pool wors just fine :)

Started mining!!! ;)

current block 366

how does this wallet install?? I dont see an exe file only files windows doesnt know.

Compiling soon

Did you register on the website and make a worker?

yes, make an another worker and works fine, sorry, thanks

Glad you got it working :)

This is caused by shares being detected to fast. this will stop happening once the difficulty goes up.

who can compile the windows client?

As always great pool. however can you change the "You have exceeded the pools configured XMAS warning threshold. Please initiate a transfer!" as i don't have a windows wallet yet, so i'm not able to transfer the coins out yet.

Thanks

It's just a warning, doesn't really affect anything.

Santa Claus compiling qt

So this is what they refer to as "Instamine" eh?  ::)

any bounties for compiling your clients? :D

Really like the look of this and the way it was setup and smooth from the start with a pool almost instantly


Let's get the ball rolling
Looking to buy XMAS coin pm me offers

Edit: I realize I'm a new account and people will be skeptical, im just a lurker by nature, willing to escrow on all transactions.

What % POS is this coin?

what is your price?

To be honest I'm not sure was planning on looking at a few offers and trying to think about how people will feel about it in the next few days.
Since there is 0 market for it yet, pm me what you have if you'd like and we can talk about it or state it openly here for others to see it might help this
coins case. This seems to be one of the few recent coins that was smooth with no pre-mine that seems reasonable and fair

Selling 100 xmas coins.

PM me with offers.

The difficulty seems bugged right? Saying retarget in 10 blocks, but when it should retarget it stays to 4

edit: ho nevermind, diff is 16 according to my cgminer, the pool stats are wrong that's it.

its at 16 right now :)

Cmon, compile that wallet ;)))

I don't see much hype here, but the Net Hashrate is already 1,4GH/s ...

lol true
silent miners

1.33GH/s. How many miner are there in MINING daily ?  ::)

Christmas spirit is still within our hearts ;D

I can't wait for NewYearsEve coin  :P

Where are the xmas carols, i don't hear them  ;D

Shouldn't need to re-install an OS unless you experience pretty massive data corruption, which usually indicates hardware failure.


I might have time to compile the windows client tomorrow, we'll see. My mingw compilation environment/dependencies aren't really suited to this version.

client????? ???

Well, I definitely don't get the retarget diff strategy, not sure it is working as intended.

Difficulty retargets every 0.35 days according to the Readme in the source. 

The announcement specified a retarget every block using last 10 blocks average, but looking at how it behaves I think the Readme is correct.

Thanks for the explanation, indeed the readme seems to be closer from the truth than the announcement.

yes
wtf diff already so high

why is the difficulty so high already?

wow diff at 35 after less than 12 hours...

I just wake up after a long day of work and dreaming of Xmas, I find that has been very well received currency ..

We will continue to work on updating the Wallet and Block Explorer and in the exchange .. : D

Those wishing to support the work donations received.

Att: Team XmasCoin

I also don't see the point of this coin going big

Xyds1GsnE6AM1BEbPHjYFT7UdwmmmTF1A4

just joined, thanks for donations ;)

Difficulty of 35 in less than an hour.  Why would we mine this coin over something like Mincoin.  good luck..

hey, I mine it on my laptop 50khs....

would be happy for any donations as with this diff I only get like 0,2 per hour or something....
Xm3w7p8WnRp8z4N2GEGRjmrGE27VizYUmo

wow, just checked the payout on the pool - automatic at 300, on demand costs 1 coin - omg i cant even withdraw....

all withdraws even automatic cost 1 coin on my site.  Its just the TX Fee that we charge.  If you have less then 1 coin then your doing it wrong no offense :P  I will be lowering the min withdraw limit though

Just received a payout from the HackShard pool with no issues.

I have more than one xmas coin but withdrwaing it to loose 33% would not be wise..... and people here are mining hundreds or thousands coins....

pls donate: I want to buy real mining rig, to stop mining on laptop.... Xm3w7p8WnRp8z4N2GEGRjmrGE27VizYUmo

This coin needs more attention, someone do a giveaway! :D

seems like this coin won't move
i am up to the moon, bb

Any bounty? xD

 Xn6zBoiLP33bzKCep5ASs6t921RdLXkcCg

I was able to withdraw with no issues as well.

Thank pythonideus.

I was out and I just get to the computer .. XmasCoin is all and for all. Those who wish to contribute with more Pool will receive a great reward. ;)

I'm back to trying solo lol. Will see if my 1.7mhash/s gets me anything.

irc.freenode.net #xmascoin created

Where is the wallet?Some codes to me is a little bit diffcult.

Is this a Proof of Stake coin?
It doesn't show in getinfo:

XpVu9N7SYR7aEDzu4mUFcqdvw4vhLvPGGh
thanks

If you are right, actually the version that has Proof_of_Stake on latest version of the portfolio that is based on the 0.8.6.2 and is in development as we improve this 20x speed issues and other security options. For now I apologize. The working group is in process of completing as soon as possible the new portfolio.

Thanks, Team XmasCoin

Another interesting coin, but you missed a trick not launching this BEFORE Xmas as you might have been able to exploit the holiday season. Now its over, this won't appeal as much i guess. Still, best of luck with it, I like the tree on the logo :)

Everything possible was done to have her on December 24, Subjects of parties delay and was released with the risk of a currency that every day is Christmas, it is working on a platform for e-commerce that can be used soon. Thanks

THis coin is dead already.
It took too much time before an exchange appears.

A manual sell sheet leads to underpriced coins.

XovWptV6uhskX7H4RjXdr8SEBhfAP597oU
Thanks!

Man the difficulty shot up fast. Just took a look at this, 32 already? Sheesh. Not worth the time. I'll stick with a coin that actually makes money for that kind of Diff.  :-\

Every 12 hours, the difficulty is adjusted again, placed in longer times for a more equitable undermine it. It is initiating a process of recension XmasCoin and so to have a reference point with BTC.

This is deinfatly still a profitable coin over the long term, even if its not profitable now, what about the possible profits from buying and holding till the next Xmas season? Huge possibility.  8)

i'll sell my 2,000 xmas for 0.5 btc.

That's the only way.

New Year 2014.. Xmas every day

is this coin dead?

Wallet no sync, what's the problem?

dead?

It is developing the patch, now must close and reopen the wallet. It is generating the slow blocks and will accelerate by 20x

What do you mean?

good idea, but maybe launch 4 weeks before xmas instead of 4 days after.

Coin is dead

Message to the community cryptocurrency apologies are requested, developing XmasCoin was wrong and was not able to correct the block generator for the upgrade, which all necessary changes will be made and work on version 0.8.6.2 of the wallet Bitcoin. For now, just apologize and will work hard to get this cryptocurrency forward.

Thank you.
XmasCoin Team Developer.

Im waiting for xmas reanimation :) hopefully sooner than before next christmas ;)

dead? can't sync!
