About Gaelcoin

When was Gaelcoin created ?
Gaelcoin development started in early 2014 to provide an alternative electronic currency for Ireland.

How is Gaelcoin different to, for example, Spaincoin or Greececoin?
First of all, we only pre-mined 1% of the Gaelcoins leaving the remaining 99% of Gaelcoins available to be mined. This gives the ownership of the Gaelcoin currency to the early adopters and the miners and not the developers. Many other currencies pre-mine 50% of the total avaiable coins which creates an enourmous risk as the the majority of the currency will remain in the hands of a few developers. Secondly, Gaelcoin is not an easy coin to mine. Compared to 99% of all the other cryptocurrencies that have been launched, Gaelcoin has a much higher mining difficulty. This is to create a more stable Crypto-currency as many “pump & dump” miners looking to make a quick buck would stay away from mining the coin.

What is pre-mining?
Pre-mining is a process of awarding the initial miners a bonus, which can then be used for further development of the currency. Gaelcoin is 1% pre-mined, which is a very small percentage compared to many of the other alternative currencies out there

The first 100.000? There are a lot more people living in Ireland...
Correct, many of the other crytocurrencies go for the 50% pre-mine approach with the promise that they will give an amount of their currency free to each citizen of the country they are mining for. However, we strongly believe that this approach will create a highly unstable currency as the majority of the currency will always stay in the hands of a select few people. It is impossible and impractical to give each and every citizen their share of the 50% pre-mined coins leaving a large number of coins unclaimed. This large amount can then be used to heavily influence the market price of the currency by the currency developers leading to market crashes or artificial inflation.

Have you done anything different to the LTC fork?

diff already 0.7
That's just too much, sorry

0.7 in less than 10mins!

When did this _really_ launch?

Really? Make the announcement at diff 0.7 and 20 MH/s on the network?
Happy mining for you and your friend with the 20 MH/s rig.

So what's new on this coin? Why should we mine this?

Nothing. Don't even bother to download the wallet. A fair ninja launch is not made with 0.72 diff
Sorry dude but this will fail

with 2 min block time = 180.555556 days of premining

Wow. lol.

What a sneaky launch.

surely idea taken from aurora so it can't be 180 days

scam launch .... let it die

Wow. lol.

What a sneaky launch.
[/quote]

1% of total was taken on first block similar to auroracoin.  Difficulty is climbing high due to many miners connecting.   

How did you see the diff? There are no pools.

In SGMiner the diff is 44.6K..not sure how to interpret that, but it sure as hell ain't 0.7.

4 mins after the ann here diff was already 0.72, and you are claiming 2 days diff retarget time. Not even KGW can drive the diff up so fast

Don't listen to all the hate! Glad to see Ireland joining the cryptocurrency world!  Mining!

Thank you!

Thanks for the pool setup, what your Gael wallet address and ill send you to bounty

I thought it was pogue mahone

Premined and Instamined ?

Who announces a coin after mining has started ?


Good Luck with your coin

SELL SELL SELL

Anyone seen any blocks happen? Not seen a new one reported yet solo mining.

I think the dev has inaccurately described the retarget period.  Here's the actual code:


Although the OP (and the code comment) claim 2 days, the code itself actually dictates a retarget every 6*8*60 seconds = 48 minutes on average, or every 24 blocks.  That may help to explain how the difficulty adjusted upwards so quickly after the initial post.   

TOOOOOO LATE!!!!!

Look at the poor result of MaZAcoin, and that was only the second one released, so suddenly 50 nation currency are being created, all will die and you guys are losing time and some stupid people hashrate.

Mining started for a short period for testing as we wanted to make sure the wallets are functioning properly including testing a pool as i've witnessed  many altcoins releasing buggy and non functional coins based on the 0.6 bitcoin frame work.

However the difficulty is still very reasonable and any coins that where pre-mined during the testing period will be given back to those who help make this Ireland's first successful coin.

 :o  :o :o

Looks like a lot of people are wasting their hashrate here....getting on a exchange will be difficult too as all exchange are now putting voting systems in place so pre-mine will be use for exchange and then dump there coin.

Smart developers  ;D

You are right ! And they should have informed me of that as well..

I don't think the flood will stop until every country, state, or province has its own coin, until every animal has its own coin, until every aspect of life has its own coin. I swear to god... it's just an endless flood of bullshit coins that copy innovators and slap a new graphic on them.

May you always have a clean shirt, a clear conscience, and enough Gaelcoins in your pocket to buy a pint.

7FL3iamdfBbtv6jjzfJWT877tuLhBH5tFw

There are over 1 million words in English dictionary...We will probably get altcoin for every word...This is the bad side of no regulations...

It will continue until you people smarten the fuck up and stop mining/supporting this "Shite".

Unfortunately that means NEVER, its been proved that idiots reproduce faster than we can educate them.

Regulations won't make any difference.....the free market will sort itself out.....free market will decide which coin will survive and which coin will die a slow painful death.

Free market will smarten people up, it just takes time.

Will always take time and if it is allowed to function correctly then it allows the true cream rise to the top...and stay.

Ireland is awesome. I'm part Irish. Here's to a moderately successful run.

anyone actually using the bondni pool listed on first page? seem like it takes you to flapcoin pool

on behalf of the Irish, you can fuck off with this coin cunt

Feicfidh mé póg do leipreachán

Paddy and Murphy need a good drink but only have 50c between them. Paddy has an idea - he takes the cash to the butchers and buys a sausage. They enter the first bar and order 2 pints of Guiness and down them in one gulp. When the barman asks for payment, Paddy puts the sausage into his fly and Murphy sucks it. The barman goes mental and kicks them both out.

By the tenth pub the pair are pretty drunk and Murphy says "I cant do this anymore my knees have gone". Paddy replies "your knees? I lost the fucking sausage in the second pub!"

its the first coin called Gaelcoin (there are many to follow)

Guys when you create a pool please leave your pool name and GaelWallet address for the bounty

3 pages and still the obvious hasn't been addressed...
How are you going to fairly and securely distribute this among Irish?
How do you think fellow Irish would feel about Northern Ireland being included into a 'gaelcoin'?

Mooncoin shares its name with a town in Ireland, believe it or not.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mooncoin

And what about the millions of Irish citizens living elsewhere?

We wont get an answer because it's clearly a scam coin. Seriously guys, fuck off with this! Who launches an Irish coin at 10pm on a Friday night? The Irish are too busy drinking.

Not entirely sure you are Irish Franklin

It will happen through an ID verification process, even though that restricts the anonymity for the first wallet deposits it will allow for a fair exchange.

Secondly we are not force feeding this coin to anyone, and believe it or not there are still a large number of people that see Ireland as one nation including the North.

Good point - a large section of western populations have Irish ancestry.
1 in 5 white Americans, 10% of U.K. and Australia, 14% of Canada. Not to mention rest of the world - the Irish diaspora is huge.
All of them can claim citizenship by Irish descent... you're gonna need a bigger premine ;D

Another good point!

Including the U.K.?

The pool not sending me an activation mail...
How to activate account now?

I was being sarcastic - loyalists and U.K. do not consider the North part of Ireland.

come on, try to back your fake charity coin with a decent story at least , teenage crooks are so lazy these days :D
and begging to get accepted on coinmarket even before you launch your joke tells us everything we need about your intentions  ;D

Between all the doggy, flappy and kitty coins I can understand your skepticism but the aim is to have Gaelcoin turning in to a viable option for trading offline instead of having it jump up and down within an exchange with zero real world value.

Keep an eye on the coin as I might get to proof you wrong.

Hi I spoke to the pool owner who said it was sorted can you confirm?

Thanks!

kiss me im irish

now gimme coinz! :-*

Get a wallet first maybe ?

wts 2000GAC.
pm me please.

?

WTB, send pm with quantity

not sure if you guys saw this but Xnigma added a Gaelcoin exchange

https://xnigma.com/markets/view/71

Are there any users familiar with xnigma?

Seems very much new.

Also, the coin could use a better emblem, maybe with the color green in it.

Great news ! I'll add it to the listing

Thanks

Maybe we can do a give-away for the best designed emblem

Xnigma seems to be legitimate, I sold some Octo coins there earlier, no issues getting the transaction done.

Gaelcoin definitely selling there, lowest sale listing at the moment is 2500 satoshi each.

Pretty much a Noob here, but Xnigma seems legit.
The "operators" are available in their troll box for questions or help.
Ran a few (maybe 3 or 4) bitcoins worth of purchases through them this last month without a hitch, and feel much better using them than some of the others.

The coin seems a little too ambitious.
For starters, you need an Irish politician or newspaper to write about this coin, a personal blog or independant newspaper/website press attention will do it some good.
the Irish Indpendant already ran the Satoshi Nakamoto story a few days ago, but they "Unfortunately do not accept unsolicited articles at Independent Digital."

Sinn Féin seems to be anti-Euro, maybe there's a friendly handshake to be found there somewhere.

An Irish coin? lol and I get 50 free!

http://www.gaelcoin.org/images/Gaelcoin.png

Gaelcoin (http://vardiff.com/coin/gaelcoin/) added to altcoins database
Good luck, miners

 How can every Irish person get 50?  Isn't that a premine?

this doesnt look like a serious coin , jumping on the country coin trend ...

LET THIS COIN DIE HES JUST TRYING TO FATTEN HIS POCKETS NOT ACTUALLY THE COIN FOR THE IRISH.

Nobody said it's not a premined coin.

Nice one, ignore the haters mate.  i'm from Belfast can i claim my 50 now...... cheers

Thanks.

Thanks for your message Zilze, will be starting the give away soon however there will be some level of verification behind it

Happy St. Patricks day. Time to celebrate buying some GAC.

this, is true!

So is this going to the moon or what?  8)

Hehe it's going on a fair cruising speed which allows our team to get things ready for the give away.. In all honesty if people are here to make lots of money by buying and dropping the Gaelcoin like what is happening to Aurora and Spain coin than this isn't the coin for them.

Unlike what a bunch of people think within this topic I do want this coin to succeed as a digital payment option in Ireland with it's own value as that's what Bitcoin is about and so is Gaelcoin a way of purchasing & selling products  (not euro's or dollars)

It seems to be coming along nicely. Hash is way up, I see. And lots of stuff been happening. Looking good.

Thanks m8

I mined this coin overnight at launch at the bondni pool and didn't receive a single coin, so that put me off it.  Now I look again at this coin and I can solo mine it easily.  After AuroraCoin, SpainCoin, GreeceCoin surely there should be more interest in this coin and it be at difficulty around 20 or higher but no.

I think there is a good chance this coin can be relaunched but we need to get some interest from the Irish side of things - for instance Ireland just won the Six Nations Rugby and maybe the dev can send the Ireland rugby team their 50 coins each in a personalised paper wallet sent by email (not that they need them that much).  With a small bit of press coverage like that this coin could explode.

agree on everything. dev how's it going?

That's a great idea actually , we got mentioned as well in the guardian today !

 http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/mar/25/bitcoin-goes-national-with-scotcoin-auroracoin

MAC wallet please!
can't solo mining!  >:( >:( >:(

We are in development for that! Sorry for the delay

That is so awesome - shame the headline itself doesn't mention GaelCoin.  I wonder if we could get them to change it - I'll try.

Thanks mate yeah it's pretty awesome that even though all the push back there are people supporting Gaelcoin

This coin has a lot of potential, if distribution goes well and with a bit more media attention.

Well i'm mining anyway and with any luck it takes off!

Hi all,

We've updated the FAQ's which should hopefully answer a lot of your questions regarding Gaelcoin and also why it's different than most other coins out there

http://www.gaelcoin.org/Gaelcoin-FAQ.html

Also setup a secondary block explorer here : http://block.gaelcoin.org/chain/Gaelcoin

And has a private calculator which can be found at https://cointweak.com/calculator/coin/gac

Great thanks for that ! Just checked and looks like Gael is the most profitable coin at the moment for miners

So, which of these two pools forked?

This could catch on in Ireland BIG-time.

Yes we are researching this as a possibility for the next hard fork

All coins minded at CharityMiningPools will require a mandatory 0.5% Donation fee.  This donation fee will be collected and donated to the designated charitable recipient for that given month.  Though we only require a minimum 0.5% Donation fee, we welcome and encourage our miners to raise the stakes and donate more to a good cause.

Cheers!
CharityMiningPools

Hi Richie,

The coin is still alive but we need more miners to get involved.. I'll try to rally the troops

Very good app, go gael !

Just to let you know guys, Gael is back up on the exchanges and there will be some very good PR coming out this weekend!

Gaelcoin is having an interview with KBS (South Korean broadcaster) on Friday about Gaelcoin and Cryptocurrencies in general

Gaelcoin is mentioned in today's Irish Independent

http://www.independent.ie/business/personal-finance/irish-bitcoin-highlights-the-issues-facing-cryptocurrencies-30336644.html

Is http://pool.webcoin.us/gac/ dead?

Mined here since this morning - found block (39621   Confirmed   unknown   09/06 08:25:48)

No shares - no further blocks found by pool all day since the above...

Wasting my time and power?

 >:(

11.5 hours on - still the same...

Let me find out what happened mate, sorry to hear this

try the real one:

IRISHCOIN
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=647092.0

Afaik, gaelcoin was the first Irish national coin.
And the developer has been on radio and in the newspapers talking about it.

What makes IrishCoin unique?

I believe it was also significantly premined for a very uncertain purpose - 'the tourism sector". Who controls these coins and what exactly are they going to be used for? Gaelcoin was premined also but for the purpose of paying out airdrop funds to Irish citizens who want to claim them.

I have very little trust in coin developers who feel the need to premine a coin. Especially a 7% premine.
Everyone should obtain their share fairly. Developers, businesses and individuals alike.

Gael is or might be removed from Bittrex!!  Due to very low interest and trading.

This is not good news.  I like this coin and it should be promoted more.  Let's not lose a good national coin.

So.. is this dead?
