yeah thats true mate , sweep as far as a general crypto currency offers a lot more than a lot of existing ones already , in the fact its so fast to send/confirm transactions , a lot faster than many ive used .
   Ive mined and dealt with many currencies and this from the get go before it had any value was one my favs... otherwise i wouldnt have givin it the mining time i did...I dont see the chain getting locked up cosntantly at high diff like other coins seem to so often , its always moving and fast due to the pos/pow hybrid and fast block times , always a smooth experience for me dealing with sweepstake .

   This is early days , with our new dev^^  and a growing community/interest , i have fairly high hopes . I dont say this as a sweep holder , i really feel this is true . Being a holder certainly makes me want to see it succeed ofc , that goes without saying , but my opinion is not jaded i mine this coin before it had any value casue i felt it had potential and was seriously undervalued and all it needed was a block explorer and some love ..... it now has these things and happy days

i just posted this in sp-mod thread - this just a paste from my post and I wanted to share it here , I think some will appreciate it haha ... true story lol


you know whats really ironic about SPs hate towards sweepstakecoin now that cwi has taken the project over .

  I first orginally learned about the coin here in THIS VERY THREAD back early may sometime when strasbourg was the dev and sp said something along these lines -


      "I LIKE THE IDEA OF THIS COIN AND IM CONSIDERING MAKING AN OPTIMISED MINER FOR THE ALGO , WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK"   ive gone back to try to find the post so i could quote it , but sp musta deleted it ,,
 100% true this I swear on my life ...... does anyone else remember? Was only this comment that made me look into it further and get on board lol .

     
               Rather BIG CHANGE OF TUNE and it shows your hatred towards the coin is purley a personal issue with the developer . Its not a shitcoin , its a solid coin mate and thanks for putting me onto it way back then SP , as i mined it the whole time and its really paid off now ^^ so thankyou .

perhaps your isp blocks tor network or something wierd ^   I synced a wallet from scratch yesterday , no issues but i did have to addnodes to the conf file , you dont need rpc user or password field unless your going to solo mine ... u just need the addnode bits , regardless.... the settings sparker has given should work , so i believe there be another underlying problem you may be having .

 it would be great to see the coin listed on coinmarketcap soon , good work here ^^

I cant notice the speed diff on my 1070s really , if its faster its barley noticable , this is compared to ccminer 2.0 under win10 , running at minimal tdp . im quite happy with 18mh on a 1070 for 100 watts running cool as ice , u guys add 50 watt (50% more electicity than minimal tdp) .. for much less than a 50% hash speed increase , tis all about hash/watt ratio

  I noticed ive had a few donations on the sweep explorer address , whoever these people are , just wanted to say thanks !!

I am also quite invested in this coin . I really like the name/concept/algorithm/structure .
   Im gonna have a little bish tho regardless , and i know for a fact its not nicehash at this time as i hold both fixed orders for nist 5 and thats on solaris now.... the whole 1 gighashish thats available ..(wow right)
   .... i am over even trying , this coin is just being mined to fuck by 1-2 main entitities (also zpool that insta dumps the coins which does not ever help price go up) .... i am sick to death of seeing 5 pow blocks solved in 1 minute and the diff going from 200ish to 1500ish within that minute ..... its like zpool or 1 big enitity sending periodic hashrate thats so damned big .... it leaves the chain somehwat locked for solving pow blocks when they go away ........ leaving ppl who are are genuinly trying and sending consistent hashrate .. with barley a thing for thier efforts ...... ITS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT .    I myself hold close to 6k solaris , it would be unwise if my intention here was to hurt the reputation of the coin , theres absolutly nothing wrong with the coin , its most excellent , this can happen to any coin , its sad though to see it happen here and not even from rented hash  ... but this is just fact and how it is . And as a miner its a HUGE turnoff and i get more rdy to dump my coins and bail the longer this shit goes on . just sayin ^^  those buying it might just wanna stop for a while . see if this entity bails , casue yeah its just shitty lol honestly .

The block explorer is no biggie , it was a learning experience for me to get it running and the vps its hosted on , as well as the domain name , isnt a huge investment .
  Still , any donations even a little sweep is very much appreciated !!!!!! (addy is on the explorer) .
     Its in safe hands with me and once the main explorer is put up by CWI , this can still serve as a backup or alternate ^^

   I am here for this coin and been mining it consistenly with a couple of 1070s , it sends faster than most coins i know , like the confirms are BAM done ... I have never seen a coin withdraw from an exchange so friggin fast as it does from coinexchange either .. like click withdraw and the same second its in ya wallet! I always thought it was a solid good coin , for a general crypto regardless of anything else that is going to be implemented . It truly can only get better from this point , id be jumping on board now if i wasnt already lol

  Thanks everyone!!! , i have promoted this to a bunch of people via my facebook group too , words gettin out    

     ps -  crysx , i am in Aus too..... NSW , Lismore  , happy coincidence

you guys realise its prolly getting mined privatly by just a couple peeps ..... man .. there is no info .. not even in the white paper about what fking algorithm the pow part even uses ... hence fucked if i can figure out how to mine it ..... as a miner thats suss as shit and that pow mining must be centralized much . good on those who are mining it on the pow ... your magic ... maybe im blind and just missed it and someone can correct me to what algo it uses ^^

here is a paste from getpeerinfo on a synced wallet , hope that can help , spose i can do a snapshot if thats helpful too ... i never had any issues syncing .. still

    good luck !

sweet , good to see the project getting handed onto a reputable dev your the aussie guy right crysx?   i see you around on the forums a fair bit ^^



 yay and yay

glad to hear and glad to see that huge stake was only momentary lol . please let us know when this happens . you have my continued support and block explorer will remain up

Thanks that was pretty generous! I have always liked sweep and it needed to be done , makes me very happy this ^^ ur a champ .

 I hope this helps to possibly get the coin listed on CMC , if theres anything else i can do to help let me know , I will also investigate if i can get the markets section working via the nova exchange api , its all new to me so i cant make promises but we got the most important part

Id like to announce a new and working block explorer    www.sweepstakecoinexplorer.us          


I have personally hired the vps to host this and registered the domain name too , my bitcoin and sweep addys are on the explorer page (at the bottom) and any donations would be greatly appreciated and give me incentive to keep it running .

   Thanks and enjoy ^^

ps - the new pool works well , its very simple and a little lacking in details but all payouts for every block found came through . cheers logik

the network is very healthy with my maximum 30 active connnections as i stake . not rip at all actually .

well &^% this coin lol , mined by a few insiders who have the wallet while noone else can even get it ... 1st thing i wanna do when investing in a coin is get me a wallet .. STEP 1...not even as a miner

24 hours since my question regarding the wallet and no reply .......this actually is shadey as fuck lol

does anyone have a link to a windows wallet ?
since the wallet seems to not exist ...
  ..... im actually a bit offended by the fact id like to check the coin out but cant find a wallet for it , you guys never supplied a link or anything .... i even found an article on your website quoting "anyone who gets the wallet can participate" but WHERE IS THE WALLET ?
would i be correct in saying you have to be an ico investor to even have one?    if so how stupid .......good luck trying to sell a coin people cant even get a wallet for if they try lol

there was forking originally . that's an old issue that I never seemed to have ..... theres a sweepstake feature that was turned off as it was causing some issues . there rly isn't any problems with it ... just the sweepstake feature not actually implemented , that was half the theme of the coin see . as a general coin to send n receive n stake it works better than others ..... its also runs on the tor network , which I think has caused hiccups for some on certain network setups ... and need this block explorer up ^^

I am willing to host a block explorer . let me see what i can do , I always liked this coin in general and never had any issues with it ... sends fast as lightning . maybe we can get a new dev on board to help here , unfortunatly i am not one lol .

   thanks for letting us know whats been happening and being honest mate ^^    if there's anything else I can do to help gimme a pm . I'll give an update on any block explorer progress here .

Ive tried to get into this coin , its a nice wallet and i like a new algo that cannot be rented , has potential . Although im done with it now .. it saddens me to see that 1 entity is taking 80% or so of the network and manipulating it to their favour because they have such a stupidly massive gpu farm .
   Its Nice to try n solo it on a smallish rig and see 10 blocks get solved within 30 seconds in the time it should take 1 block ... then see it locked up for a period as diff goes high ........... just to see it unlocked and 20 more blocks get smashed again within a minute .

    Seems to me some miner is making sure he gets 80% of the coins , you cant rent this algorithm but its not stopping this sort of activity , some may say oh thats just a pool , if its a pool they are strategically stopping and starting insane hashrates periodically to thier own benefit and kinda ruining it for other miners . Anyhow if you were not aware of this from an investors perspective , heed my warning ... its quite likely your lining the pockets of 1 friggin huge miner while everyone one else mining with little things outside a pool has no friggin chance and it is just part of thier game . I thought crypto was supoosed to be decentralised ... i guarantee this is not .

   I am done with coin , sorry to say this but it is the reality of it .
