is this coin still alive
i would buy,but there is warning on bittrex
It is - simply read the last pages.  Regarding progress: I tied my own hands with updating to the latest libs (like openssl1.0.1i) today. I dont know how, but I somehow fucked my Windows dev environment (wallet builds suddenly randomly crashed). Spent most part of the day trying to find the error. Did a clean wipe after a few hours and rebuilt it with the most recent Qt and recompiled all dependency libraries. It's now working better than ever but the whole process ate all of my spare time today - or at least almost. Sorry folks, I had planned to release the new wallet today. It will still be released this week - so probably on sunday since tomorrows schedule is stuffed. I hope you all can stand the pleasant anticipation for so long.  Edit: Oh new page: NEW WALLET OUT THIS WEEKEND!+ fixed blockchain issues + migrated wallet to Qt5 + wallet needs less system ressources + reviewed codebase + a new feature (what will it be? :p) + another feature already in testing phase, won't make it into this release though + lots of smaller fixes + probably something else that's missing here Setting up a clean Windows development environment for compiling is definitely a bit of a pain. (I've built a number of Windows wallets.) It would be nice to see a single unified Gitian build process, but nobody seems invested in taking the time to make it all work seamlessly. Anyway, glad you have it figured out and I look forward to the new wallet. |

Do you actually have plans for future development? What does your coin offer that every other CryptoNote coin doesn't already have by default?

I wasn't buying Litecoin at $10, or $7, and I'm not buying it at $4. Trying to catch a falling knife is unlikely to be successful.

I kinda don't see the connection between the colonisation of Mars and the launch of a new P&D shitcoin...
Agreed. Unless there's some sort of tie in with donating to NASA or something? |

This significantly affects my profitability. HOWEVER, my Antminer is placed in the patch cupboard in the hallway, which I believe is paid for by my apartment's body corporate ie I don't actually pay for it!  That's quite convenient, but probably doesn't scale up very well... |

I have a handful of different scrypt ASICs, as well as a few GPU mining systems with AMD cards. I mine whatever coins are new/popular, and use multipools that let you retain the coins you mine (not auto-exchange to BTC).

Starting at 1 BTC for 200k coins sounds pretty high for a coin with 400M total coins, don't you think? That would probably explain the complete lack of interest here so far.

Depositing fiat to a brand new exchange via bank transfer seems like a good way to lose non-trivial amounts of money. At least with new exchanges and altcoins, you can minimize risk by only depositing tiny quantities of coins. I do like the BlackCoin perspective on the article though, of course... |

I'm not an advanced programmer so I don't know many of the technical details, but it seems something like this could be possible.
It isn't impossible, it's just that it would require very advanced programming expertise and some changes to the Bitcoin protocol to be able to explicitly track sub-variants of Bitcoin again double-networking (currently Bitcoin guards agains double-spends, it would need to safely guard against transferring same bitcoins to more than one sub-network). If you want you can take a look at my old proposal from my signature: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54382.0But I have to warn you that advanced programming knowledge is required to understand it. Currently there's absolutely no consensus on how to change the Bitcoin's network protocol. The one thing I don't like is the title of this thread: it should be "Competing and cooperating Bitcoin networks". They are competing in serving of customers but simultaneously cooperating against fraud and counterfeiting. Edit: Without that last caveat the purely "Competing Bitcoin Newtorks" would be just Alternative Cryptocoin Networks". Depending on how you would want "sub-networks" to operate and interact with the main network, I would think that Proof-of-Burn could work as part of the transfer mechanism from the main network to sub-network. |

I recently switched from running bitcoind to btcd on linux.
Once golang was installed it’s pretty much an automated installation process – 1 command to auto download and install the btcd package. A well-documented sample config file is provided that was easy to tailor. Launched it and done.
Full network sync from scratch took 26 hours. Memory usage is in the 200MB range. Couple of days in it’s been rock solid and seems to be working great.
I’m hugely impressed with what the devs have achieved. Their code appears to be clean, modular, well documented and comprehensively covered by tests. So a great base to build on.
I've also recently tested btcd out, and the code looks clean + tests are present. I do see better performance than bitcoind, as well. Keep up the good work! |

Generating and dealing with tens of thousands of addresses shouldn't cause a problem with bitcoind on a dedicated server, no. Once you hit "millions" and beyond, you might see some slowdown in performance -- this is why you'll see exchanges occasionally moving to new wallets because of bloat.

Although some people may view them as "competitors" at first glance, ApplePay and Bitcoin are actually not competing against each other at all. Once you realize that ApplePay is a technical implementation of payment via any number of methods, and could integrate Bitcoin as a payment method, that should become more clear.

Not "crazy" in absolute terms, but it was pretty surprising/crazy to me at the time: I saw a random, small local restaurant in the middle of nowhere accepting Bitcoin last week.

This isnt a company mate.. This is crypto currency... I know a crypto-coin is not a company however, a crypto-coin can best be compared to a company. The match in principles and characteristics is very high. The quicker the alt-coin community realises that, the more coins will be successful. Run a coin as a well funded "company" using the same principles as you would for a company and chances of success is high. Crypto currency is quite far removed from fiat currency and very few principles match. Lets not hijack this thread though for an in-depth discussion on this. Substitute "startup" for "company" and you'll be closer to the truth for most coins. |

Keep in mind that exchanges generally do off-blockchain transactions. They usually give you an account with "play money" and actual transactions only take place when you transfer in and out. The "days destroyed" will not take into account trades made on exchanges. This is unlike stocks where a "stock certificate days destroyed" could be measured because they trade actual stocks once they complete your order. Bitcoin could not be measured the same way because nobody has access to all the data on exchanges and private sales.
This is a key point that many people may fail to realize. Not every transaction will hit the blockchain, and in fact one could argue that the vast majority of Bitcoin-related transactions do not show up on the blockchain. |

I am asking for a community fund just to pay for the development of the coin. it should cost no more than 1-2 btc .
What development are you seeking funds to pay for, exactly? You haven't listed anything in your ANN post that would require new development. |

So far only 200 assets have sold for BMPOOL. If the community does not want the idea of community owned hardware to continually create buy pressure, then I will not press it. God knows I am busy enough already with the hashrate NXT community pool. The asset # on the Burst AE is 11375670541237055652 Unless there are some more sizable investors soon, the idea will be abandoned and I will issue buy orders to buy back every share that was sold. (the pool would not be investing in hashlets or the same Scrypt/SHA ASIC hardware that anyone else can buy and get hosted - we would be purchasing additional Scrypt-N FPGA hosted equipment the same way the Hashrate pool has recently invested (as it has an absolutely amazing ROI - less than 6 weeks). no, I won't post the FPGA provider or manufacturer either. I think you would get a more positive response if you were able to provide a bit more detail. Otherwise, we're just supposed to trust that you have a secret, extremely profitable Scrypt-N FPGA + hosting setup that is currently unheard of / unavailable to anyone else? If you can really see returns in less than 6 weeks, you should have investors lining up for miles, jumping and shouting to get in. |

I'm glad to see you earned a return on your S1, although with declining Bitcoin prices that may not be entirely accurate if you include the conversion to/from fiat at the time of purchase and after the returns were earned.

If you still have access to the old PC, you can backup the entire wallet directory and copy it over directly to the new PC. Alternatively, shorena and The 4ner's suggestions are certainly valid. Using a bootstrap.dat torrent and a fast sync node would likely be the fastest way.
