- Because of the block reward drop from 50 to 10 i am forced to reduce the block bonus and increase pool fees on the https://www.megamineros.com/CSC pool. The old block bonus was 0.1 coin and the fee was 1% that resulted in a pool fee of 0.1 coin per block and since the block bonus was the same the pool fee went directly to the block finder. As the pool already is costing me a lot this forces me to reduce the block bonus to 0.01 coin and increase the pool fees to 2%. That still does not cover the costs to run the pool but at least results in a few hundred coins a week. Sorry to do this but is a direct result of the block reward reduction.
- Development on the free Casinocoin Dice Server software i started is getting along quite fine. I have my roots in Oracle database and application development and these days Oracle actually is removing license costs on some very interesting products. They released ADF Essentials which is a subset of the full ADF (Application Development Framework) JSF framework from Oracle. The dice server i am building is being based on ADF Essentials running on a Glassfish opensource application server using a MySQL database and makes use of the CasinocoinJ java implementation i released earlier. This way you can run it completely free of licenses as it does no longer need Oracle Database, Weblogic server or ADF licenses. The development environment JDeveloper is also free to use. I choose this combination as it allows me to be more productive in terms of coding and has far better security and runtime performance as compared to other Dice implementations mostly based on PHP. Anyway i will release it free of charge to anybody wanting to start a casinocoin dice server. As soon as i have a version ready for testing i will let everybody know ... i also think it will serve as a nice use-case to online casinos on how to integrate CasinocoinJ into a real web application.
- I have generated and uploaded a new version of the OSX wallet to the 1.3.0.0 release on GitHub, can somebody test the wallet if it now does work correctly, it now should no longer use upnp.
- I really like the new frontpage

I contacted the new CSC dice site if they could supply me with an api to create an android CSC dice game as tutorial to use the android/casinocoinj libraries. I get no response from them so i started thinking i will give it a try myself to create our own Dice service and make it publicly available.
Then the following idea just came to my mind, …. why not integrate a possibility to play dice right from the Casinocoin Qt Wallet application. If the underlying Dice service is being ran from casinocoin.org and the proceedings go to CSC development, we would all benefit. I would like to know what the community thinks about that and how we could make that as transparent as possible?
This has been mentioned before, and I am all for it if we can push it to development and testing. Would give us something extra and unique.Thoughts on integrating a tab with more then one game or is that pushing it to far? Lets get one game in first and then continue from there. Let me see if i can come up with a Dice Server/Service on short notice. We could use the same server engine to handle a website, Qt Wallet and android version. I'll put it on my todo list  |

Thanks for this. I couldn't get this compile to save my life. What version of OSX did you use? Used my old Macbook Pro running OSX Lion 10.7.5. Just installed Qt 5.3.1 and all necessary dependencies via homebrew. Added the deps to the qmake pro file. Will checkin those changes to Git. |

About 5500 blocks to go!!
Thanks, not sure why I thought the cut went in effect yesterday. Not correct, ... we are now at block 574,557 so about 450 blocks to go until 575,000. I hope some miners will see the potential of this coin and hang on to it! My MegaMineros pool which was already costing me money will cost me even more but i will not close it down. If i need to pay $100 every month i will keep investing that into CSC as i am certain this coin is one of the few with actual future. CSC ATM and CSC wallet cards is next, .... then integrating with actual slot machine hardware! Then we go to Vegas and in 5 years everybody gambles with CSC cards  |

yaye my java card reader/writer showed up today In the end what card reader/writer did you buy? I have not found any affordable javacards yet. The 1K or 4K Mifare cards will not suffice i think, .... you can only store data on it but not any programmable logic. If we want to sign transactions on the card so it does not have to release its public keys we need to be able to add some logic to it or the needed functions need to be available on the chip already. Have you looked at http://www.zeitcontrol.de/en ? |

Great !!! Finally a great dice site for the only coin that really deserves it! Which coin better to use to play dice than Casinocoin!! Lets help promote this site where we can! |

Anyone have any experience with Javacards? I'm talking to a couple manufacturers in china to get some samples to develop ewallets for bitcoin, casinocoin, etc. Evidently, there is some useful code opensourced from btcchip Done some research and JCOP cards are pretty expensive, cheapest i found still costs arround $6, have you found anything better? I agree with you that it will be more secure to do the signing on the card/chip instead of only holding the private key and doing the signing on a POS, that way a card does not need to have an interface to give up its private key, thus it can not be stolen unless the card itself is stolen. I think adding some kind of extra PIN authentication to the solution would also be beneficial, just like normal bankcards, only card and PIN combination will allow transactions. Anybody know of cheap JCOP cards? |

I see that seed3.casinocoin.org is currently not mapped, you can map it to 162.242.217.120 which is the MegaMineros pool that will always be online, at least it will not be taken offline without previous notice I also now have the CasinocoinJ client synchronizing upto the digishield kick-in so i got the difficulty issues solved and implemented the KGW code. Currently porting the DigiShield C code over to Java. Then i will create a CasinocoinJ GA release and rebuild the Android wallet and create a v1.0 GA release for that, ... should be by the end of this week. Next step will be a tutorial on how to integrate a payment request with the Android wallet from an other application. |

@GoldSeal and @casinocoin have you had the time to check out the VirtualBox image i created for crosscompiling casinocoin? Is it working for you?

I think it is best to focus on NFC solutions, Mifare DESfire development kits are not that expensive. We could create cards, keychains, tokens that function as standalone wallets or communicate with smartphones that have nfc as well. Have you already worked out some ideas/designs for a POS? |

Just finished uploading the VirtualBox image for compiling the windows and linux clients, you can find it at: https://mega.co.nz/#!4UsTVYjL!c6MzeY4otu90NxFYK9SDvypueUrTkpH6gTJtWdQ2CE4 Username/Pass to login is: ubuntu/ubuntu It is compressed with 7Zip. In the home directory is a README file on how to proceed. Basically it comes down to git clone the sources, set the source location and run buildCSC.sh. After a few cups of coffee you find the daemon and Qt clients for windows and linux in csc-dist directory. Let me know if it works for you. As always enjoy! |

BTW, AJChems -
Is the android wallet considered a GA release now? Maybe we can send a announcement out on the list.
I still have an issue with the difficulty check implementation which needs to be solved. I can not seem to match the calculated difficulty to the actual network diff. Also need to add the new v1.3.0.0 changes. So better wait with a GA release until that got solved. |

CSC clearly has a strong technical following with plenty of people who know about the world of crypto currencies helping out, however i have said it before on here, you really need more marketing, people who directly track down owners of online casinos and convince them to use the coin, it may even be worth someone dedicating all there time to contacting these casino owners through social media, telephone and online chat as i dont think the casinocoincity site is enough to make this a truly successful coin, it needs that sales expert touch to convince casino sites and eventually the big boys like paddy power and william hill
I've been thinking about this lately as well. Now that the v1.3 update has occurred, and block rewards will be dropping to 10CSC soon, what are the next steps that will be taken to get people to adopt CasinoCoin and make it valuable? Well, there's a lot of activity going on by different members beyond the regular adoption/integration ongoings. However, value is not the only target. Mostly, people are working on improving the accessibility and utility of the coin. There's work going on with mobile wallets. A few members are working on adding more gambling sites. I've been working with a few individuals with regard to developing an ATM for BTC/LTC/CSC, which looks like we may initially deploy in Japan. The current target is to run a crowdsource campaign to assist with rolling out the ATM's possibly at the end of August into September. Current activities are directed towards to improve accessibility, market cap, and adoption for the most part. The last update was mostly to eliminate the dilution problem the has plagued the coin over the last year. If our changes are successful, it could position the coin quite nicely for use as a low fee funding source for traditional gambling sites once scrypt ASICs are fairly common and scrypt coins become more secure and safer to hold. I agree CSC is lacking marketing efforts but to do that succesfully we first need a stable coin and all the necesarry tools to garantee its success. To have CSC adopted by online casinos we need: - Comply with the coin specifications, i think that transcoder was right to assume that casinos need a faster block time for crypto currency than bitcoin. Having set the block time to 30 seconds allows for fast deposits and withdrawels. Lately i see block times at my pool of more that 20 minutes!! In my opinion that is totally unacceptable! If i transfer coins to an online casino and i need to wait 20 minutes before i can start playing i will leave! Some users indicated that its not that a big issue but in my opinion this is the next biggest problem we have to solve. Implementing KGW and Digishield may have solved some issues in regards to multipools but also others have appeared. The enormous difficulty swings are not doing any good and we need to collectively analyse the dificulty problems and come with a solution in the next months. - Supply the necesarry APIs for handling CSC transactions. That is why i started to work on CasinocoinJ because a lot of online casinos are using java based server software. Giving them a java based wallet and api will help them out greatly. We also need to work on a payment gateway for CSC to make it easier for merchants or online casinos to accept CSC. I do not want to start my own online casino but i am willing to see if i can come up with some basic android code framework to build mobile casino games on top of the mobile android wallet. If we supply the community with a framework to build apps i am sure more than one will get on the casinocoin train. - Secure stable mining at all times. Without stable mining there are is no stable transaction handling. We need to keep the incentive for the miners as high as possible. We are now at block 551401 which means roughly 27.5 mln coins. Lowering the max to 63 mln coins and a block reward of 10 results in 3.550.000 blocks which is about 1230 days which is about 3 years and a bit. If by then the miners do not get at least between 1-5 coins per block on transaction costs they will stop mining. Without mining the network will collapse so by then we need either a lot of transactions per block or increase the transaction fee considerably from the current 0.001 to about 0.1. The good news is we still have about 3 years to make this coin a big success!! On a more general note, ... I am very happy there is still a lot of support to move this coin forward. Allthough my time is also limited i am very much committed to futher develop this coin as i am still convinced it is one of the very few crypto coins out there with a real purpose. We only need to strengthen its foundation to make it fullfil that promise! |

- Today i upgraded the https://www.megamineros.com/CSC pool to the latest version. Some very important bugfixes and security issues were solved. Hope you all like the new UI as well - Secondly i was able today to cross-compile the casinocoin-qt wallet for windows from a linux virtualbox machine! I have it downloading the blockchain at this moment but looks very good. The executable is a bit larger than the windows compiled version (about 25Mb instead of 23Mb) but that has to do with some precompiled libraries i needed to use instead of compiling all from source. For the end result that has no influence at all. I will now add the linux build as well to the same virtualbox and then create some bash scripts that glue all together to create an easy build system. |

and the bounty goes to Ajo! Got the wallet on my separate machine waiting for a sync looks good to me, will update the op website etc very soon! What did you compile on windows + was it off memory or from a tutorial  IE: Subsidy change does not kick in until block 575k I compiled on Windows 8 with MinGW64 ( http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/). First compiled QT 5.3.1 from source, then dependencies and finally the casinocoind.exe and casinocoin-qt.exe. I already had the environment up and running so was not that difficult, the problem was adjusting the casinocoin-qt.pro file to allow correct compilation. I will try in the next week to see if i can cross-compile for windows from linux as well. Then i will create and share a VirtualBox image that allows Linux and Windows compilation so in the future everybody can do the build. (you may sent the bounty in CSC to CazBuTh2CFFs154pC3Y7ggT6SLhjU2hJNd ) |
