Launch is being moved to 11PM EST!

This is funny .... I just managed to compile a windows version, both wallet and daemon - won't sync though.
Awesome! We'll be launching soon. Things are looking good.

Lols... no seed nodes or anything...
The launch has been postponed till later so the main seeds were taken down.

Ok now it insta crashes when I type "setgenerate true".
Time to go to bed and try again next week? Yeah, let's do that. I obviously need to do some more testing. Thanks everyone! Best thing to do I guess. Please, confirm you won't be launching after some minutes/hours even if you fix it, and the sooner would be tomorrow, thanks. Definitely not. I'll also follow up with this post when I do set a time.

On my side, stuck at block 47 for 10+ minutes, not able to mine so far. { "blocks" : 47, "currentblocksize" : 0, "currentblocktx" : 0, "difficulty" : 0.00060488, "errors" : "Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade.", "generate" : false, "genproclimit" : -1, "hashespersec" : 0, "networkhashps" : 155, "pooledtx" : 0, "testnet" : false }
Yeah, there's something going on. Working on this

Add this to the configuration:
addnode=54.242.50.205 addnode=50.17.98.53 addnode=54.225.43.37
It should start working now, we have 3 full nodes to relay

I'm getting errors when trying to mine:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): CreateNewBlock() : ConnectBlock failed Aborted
Same here. delete ~/.xcoin/blocks and ~/.xcoin/chainstate then ~/xcoin/src/xcoind -rescan It happened to me once too

Launched! Have fun. I'll add some more nodes and put the addresses up in a minute.
The only change that needs to be made to mine:
line 34, main.cpp: uint256 hashGenesisBlock("0x000002fc63b8222f7cb9cea3e535dca1d691f3c9a6d27cd5bf3afab49554e3ba");

- 5 minute block target - 6 Confirms per transaction - Difficulty re-targets every 60 minutes - Block reward controlled by moores law ( 1111 / (diff+1 ^ 2)) - 11 chained hashing algorithms - Premine: 0%
Since the reward is variable and depends on the difficulty, is there a maximum amount of coins to be mined? A maximum amount of blocks? Yes, the max coin amount is 84,000,000

That's true that I can mine with linux. However, what do you want by launching this coin without win/mac wallets and without pool?
The clients / pool are on their way. We're working on them. You will release the source of the wallet, OK - Will you release windows binaries? - What algo? - If it's not quark/scrypt/sha265/scrypt-jane .... will you release a standalone miner (including source code) at the same time you release the wallet? He shouldnt release standalone miner .mining should be available only with the wallet so botnets can't rape the coin instantly I agree, I didn't say he should, just asking whether they will, because it looks like a different algo, but the OP is talking about pools, so it would be nice before they release it to know if that's something they are working on and will release soon or with the wallet. Yes, this is in the works too

edit:just realized their src were 2 years old You're in the old branch. All of the changes are in master-0.8

To anyone interested in helping implement ghost: I'm going to start implementing the changes needed to traverse the tree in the reverse direction and then implement GHOST. If anyone wants to help, feel free to submit pull requests: https://github.com/evan82/bitcoin-ghost

Is there an implementation of this that someone is working on? I'd like to help implement it
|

Very bad idea.
Can you elaborate?

I was just thinking, could you make a coin with something like the SSE4 instruction set? I'm thinking you would target subset of instuctions that only high end CPU's could do. It would make it so that you couldn't use GPUs, because they would have a disadvantage and the only next step would be an FPGA/ASIC.
If we found an instruction set that worked well, you could do a diff between primecoin and bitcoin and then just rewrite the changed parts to the new instruction set.
I'm not entirely sure how useful a CPU/FPGA/GPU coin would be, but I think it would be the only of it's kind.

This domain has been technically sold on sedo for $300 (payment has not been made, but if I receive a higher bid I'll remove it from sedo and cancel that sale). If someone wants it, the minimum bid is now 1.5BTC
