I definitely agree that a well-designed auctionhouse would be the perfect next step (just as pretty as the megacoin website).

sad, really was looking forward to buying some, but this is about twice as much as I would be willing to pay. Looks like I'll have to wait another week or two.

so hot.

change user and pass if you feel like it. if your miner is not the same computer as the wallet, you will have to add an rpcallowip accordingly.

bfgminer will connect a jalapeno like this:

bfgminer -o localhost:18514 -u user -p pass --disable-gpu

and block erupters like this:

bfgminer -o localhost:18514 -u user -p pass --disable-gpu -S all

sounds a bit like "a sick coin"

Well it would be inherently pointless for them to price them above the easily available block erupters, so I think they will be priced just a tiny bit below those.

Might want to change

<Ann> advanced new sha256 Tekcoin

to

[ANN] [TEK] TEKcoin - An Advanced New SHA256 Coin

for starters...
The formatting of this thing makes me wonder what the code looks like.

what do you mean by "it's more difficult to mine"? All Scrypt Coins are mined pretty much the same way. Your amount of stales depends purely on the pool's latency/quality and your physical distance from it.

If you mean that it's more profitable to mine other coins: yes, that's almost always the case in the altcoin forum - once something is on coinchoose it will hardly be the most profitable coin to mine ever again. So of course you will get more megacoins if you mine the latest copycats, dump them as soon as they hit an exchange and buy megacoin from it. I like to do it that way - but this is hardly Megacoin's fault.

Just saying that block rewards scaling from high to low in such a steep fashion (the wrong way around!) and no pre-announcement in all the biggest places is not what has been established as a "fair start"

and the obvious answer is no

well, announcing it to the biggest community after the "5x bonus during the first 2 days!!!" bonus is almost over is pretty much the same as a premine. however that's already standard behaviour with new coins.

i smell copyrights

viable alternatives:

How very useful. I see lots of noob tears on the horizon

at least he's being obvious enough

so what is the best one can do to help with a smooth transition? install the new client and solomine? or simply leave it open?

no payout after 40 minutes of mining, going back to solo

Well, what do we do? I wrote a support ticket stating that it is not nearly offering the power of an 8 core 2.67 xeon and that i benchmarked it.

they simply replied that it might not have enough RAM and recommended I got an upgrade. rofl. answering now "no i am definitely not doing anything wrong and the RAM is not full, you are ripping me off" (in nice-speak). let's see how it goes.

give your coin a huge [ANN] post where all up-to-date info is in one spot and well-structured. it doesn't even have that. I for one am not getting any connections with the client, and I'm not in the mood to search for addnodes. :p
