Well i used both programs provided cgminer and reaper and at first i was getting some coins
However the last week that i mined nothing was being accepted as valid
So if you people can get coins and i don't that does not mean my setup is wrong but others get the coins instead of me

Installed any 3rd party security or network management software lately?

Check Windows firewall exception exists for the relevent .exe's in their current location. These can sometime be reset with windows updates or if the file location changes (although Windows Firewall itself would suggest that these problems should not occur, they can..).

And,


Alternatively to above, open console and copy/paste this command, press enter afterwards

long life cycle sounds great I do want to be able to mine Blakecoin for many many years to come don't you?

7 billion is coin Max, this includes block reward and inflation, I did not see any reason to have a low coin max and artificially create rarity it does not make sense to me  

I picked 7 as it is both a symbol of luck and a prime number  

should not be any cap on reward for Blakecoin, the idea was to create a steady coin supply that did not cut reward for miner over time and to use a fast hash function that would work on CPU/GPU/FPGA without being SHA-256 Asic compatible e.g a new main algorithm

SIC,QRK,YAK do at least try to do something different but the main thing I did not like was that they use a type of waterfall hashing from one algorithm to another which is artificially slow and would not fit in an FPGA and I was working with scrypt in FPGA with kramble's Litecoin miner but due to scrypt's linear function it was clear to me that it could never really take full advantage of the FPGA compared with the speeds of the GPU's.

I have also been working on a free to play 3D MMO framework with another developer since 2011 and thought it would be a good idea if we could use mining a coin within the game while the user was playing, "paid to pay/earn while you play" type of thing but after some research it was clear that the difficulty of Bitcoin was to high and it was not possible to merge mine scrypt based coins.

what was needed was a fast lightweight hash function that did not use too much memory and after some research the candidates where Blake-256, BMW-256, Blake2s all of which are very fast and have as much if not more security than SHA-256.

Blake-256 won for me as it is easy to work with lots of examples on CPU/GPU/FPGA and once I had done a reduced round variant was almost as fast as Blake2s and faster than BMW-256  

Hence Blakecoin was born  

atm still working on the pool stuff am rewriting the block submission function as it has bugs  

once the pool stuff is done I will be working on the blockchain explorer and a merged coin but a kickstarter/crowd funding for the first game title is due for xmas so need some time to work on that as well, it will be the post apocalyptic FPS MMO think Mad Max, Fallout, Diablo.

I feel that Blakecoin has a really good chance at becoming the second largest cryptographic coin for CPU/GPU/FPGA in the world but it might be a little unrealistic to think that it can surpass Bitcoin in the near future but who knows maybe 10 years from now Blakecoin will be number one      

Hope that answers your questions of why Blakecoin exists and what its future is with some background on the design decisions

Blockchain is now up and running.

Mining with Qt: debug window -> console -> type 'setgenerate true' or 'setgenerate true <thread-limit>'

"Pow/PoS hybrid (1.5% yearly interest, PoS blocks generated after 30 days of coin age)"

how often the wallet must be online to generate coins?

I have been working on and have finished the Blakecoin wallet and Cpu miner.

http://www.blakecoin.org

Released yesterday but due the site being down I was not able to post on here until now:
https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,6280.0.html

Forked from Bitcoin reference wallet 0.8.5

Blakecoin Wallet is on Github
https://github.com/BlueDragon747/Blakecoin

Blake-256(optimized) faster than Scrypt and faster than SHA-256 in Sphlib C code

The algorithm was written as a candidate for SHA-3, Based on round one candidate code from the Sphlib 2.1 library and reduced the round function to 8 rounds.

Tweaks:
Removed some of the double hashing from the wallet relating to proof of work, No changes to the wallet ecdsa public/private key function that has proven to be secure for Bitcoin.

Block reward is 25 coin + inflation (square root of (difficulty + block height))
No halfing of reward after x blocks
Cap in place to reduce the difficulty jumps upwards
Block target time is 3 minutes and retargets every hour
7 Billion coins
Block maturity 120

The Cpu miner is on Github
https://github.com/BlueDragon747/cpuminer

to benchmark
minerd --benchmark -a blake

Wallet Binaries:

Windows
http://blakecoin.org/Blakecoin-0.8.6-WIN.7z

Linux
http://blakecoin.org/Blakecoin-0.8.6-LIN.7z

Add the following nodes to your conf:
addnode=162.243.133.80
addnode=162.243.14.130
addnode=146.185.135.24
addnode=184.171.247.23 (thanks to Vorksholk)

CPU Miner Binaries:
Windows Intel compiled for core2+
http://blakecoin.org/Blakecoin_Minerd.7z

blakecoin.conf example:

listen=1
gen=0
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=8772
server=1
daemon=1
addnode=162.243.133.80
addnode=162.243.14.130
addnode=146.185.135.24
addnode=184.171.247.23

you can set gen to 1 or use the command: setgenerate true if you wanted to use build in mining(bit slower than minerd)

minerd command example:

minerd -o 127.0.0.1:8772 -O username:password -a blake -q -s 2 --no-longpoll --no-stratum

Happy mining  

Update:
Thanks to the efforts of kramble, Blakecoin has been successfully ported to the FPGA (early development)

FPGA-Blakecoin-Miner by kramble
https://github.com/kramble/FPGA-Blakecoin-Miner

For information an FPGA is not a SHA-256d Asic it is a re-programmable hardware device e.g a software defined hardware device used for hardware development and high speed custom logic.

Thanks to the efforts of Vorksholk and smolen, Blakecoin has been successfully ported to Reaper with OpenCL on the GPU

Thanks to the efforts of melnikalex, Blakecoin has been successfully ported to cgminer with stratum and OpenCL on the GPU

Will put up more detailed information later.
Here's a screenshot:

coinmine pool opened as well - vardiff, 1% fee:

No, it's not caused by a fork but by the high difficulty vs hashrate on the pool. We will find a block soon

the invalid rate was over 50% on pool but fixed that bug and found another in block submit  

Atm mining the pool with 7GH/s-9GH/s shares so far 124723 and no blocks so be glad you are not testing the pool like me
