I haven't seen it mentioned above ... there's an experiment in progress that uses a "proof-of-chain" approach to coin distro: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=623147.0Have Bitcoins, Litecoins or Dogecoins? Well then, you already own CLAMS!
Import your Bitcoin, Litecoin, or Dogecoin wallet into CLAM Client and BLAMO! You've got CLAMS!
If your sca-sca-sca-sca-scared! Send your Bitcoins, Litecoins and Dogecoins to a new wallet, then try CLAMS out!
Claim your free CLAMS today, and be one of the 1st to stake a block on the first Proof-of-Chain block chain!
The tone is a bit lurid perhaps but the claims proved accurate when this lapsed Shibe collected his CLAMs. Cheers, Graham |

Good call, Raymond. The compiler warns that uint's aint big enough, I made mine uint256s. static MapCheckpoints mapCheckpoints =
boost::assign::map_list_of
( 0, hashGenesisBlockOfficial )
( 9012, uint256("0x00000006b2c364c71c279977abc8adf528d25263fb3b4fa623a309745d9f6246"))
( 9013, uint256("0x000000064ce948cdba2c2223dd75c3677847a00daded6be78a097db82d616eee"))
;
wfm. I successfully managed to restrain myself from submitting a PR to your PR. Cheers, Graham |

it's not shameful to scam people -- it requires skills and it's a task.
Let me get this straight ... your worldview informs you that if an activity "requires skills" and is "a task" then it is inherently morally defensible. That's most illuminating, thank you for the insight. Cheers Graham |

Hmm. Of course. As soon as any dev who created a coin will reveal his identity, I will do the same.
I can help you there with some examples off've the top of my head: * Dogecoin: Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer * Darkcoin: Evan Duffield * Freicoin: Mark Friedenbach and Jorge Timón http://freico.in/bios/There are several dozen other examples of developers who choose not to be pseudonymous. I look around and as far as I can see, nearly all of the really successful/long-lived altcoins have dev/s who chose not to be pseudonymous, I haven't subjected the observation to rigorous statistical analysis but I know a discriminant feature when I see one and my rule of thumb is "the wider community won't allow a really successful altcoin to have a pseudonymous dev". As an illustration, recall the media frenzy that broke out when someone thought they'd identified Satoshi. Looking forward to knowing you. Cheers Graham |

Indeed, and they're accessible in RL: You can meet the team at one of the many workshops they are planning throughout Britain.
It seems that the first workshop has already been held. Cheers, Graham |

I find it disappointing that the ispace.co.uk web site is also lacking the OFT-recommended contact details. Is that deliberate policy or just an oversight? Cheers, Graham |

or without dev we are able to save items for bittrex? What an idea?  Strictly speaking, according to the announcement, a dev is not crucial ... “If you'd like to see them stick around, the best thing to do is spread the word and get the market active again.”Qubitcoin had a reasonable chance of long-term success if the community proved to be sufficiently coherent and cohesive. Unfortunately, it seems those who put themselves forward as movers and shakers weren't up to the task; c.f. the languishing Qubitcoin Foundation (@Krecu, @Aseron, @Lugren, @Featon and @jackthecoiner: now is the time to step forward with your long-laid plans for how the Foundation will support and promote the coin), an unimpressive track record in developing the coin to have broader or deeper appeal and the stand-in dev's blanket, defensively hostile response to technical contributions from the community. But this exact scenario has been played out before, many times. There are countless sad threads on bitcointalk recording just such a gradual decline, with bagholders strenuously but ineffectually expressing a fervent belief that things will somehow magically improve, intoning "to the mooon" as though it has some mystic, tantric force. In these funereal threads, posting activity gradually peters out over a couple of months as, one by one, the pools shut down the nodes that are keeping the blockchain active and distributed. Nodes advertised by DNS seeds have long since been shut down, the remaining coin users are reduced to passing "addnode" lists back and forth. Eventually, activity dies out completely save for the occasional enquiring post from a fossicker looking for refurb pickings. The wallet code is usually still available from a github repos, the code still compiles and the client wallet still works exactly as designed but there's no longer a connected network to hook up to and then even hobby mining becomes pointless. As a technical coin, Qubitcoin was facing a stiff challenge from the start in terms of broadening the appeal. It's true that the hashing "algorithm" (a simple chaining of five otherwise-separate hashing functions) remains unique - but now only in its arbitrarily-restricted choice of chain length. The coin's main technical selling point has simply been obsoleted, leaving Qubitcoin to rely on the strength of the community that it has been busily developing since the launch - oh, wait. Well perhaps a marketing campaign, then? Unfortunately, whipping up a marketing campaign is completely out of court. The simplistic "premine == scam" attitude that constrained this coin's launch leaves a poison pill behind - a complete lack of resources to fund development, marketing or indeed any promotional activity at all. To summarise: this coin is based on an obsoleted technical selling point with no current appeal, zero or near-zero community spirit (unable even to establish the basics of a foundation), zero development/marketing funds, zero coin resources, a rapidly-diminishing profitability, almost no movement on exchanges, zero general use of the coin other than hodling. The only way for Qubitcoin to survive the autumn is for the bagholders^Wcommunity to get off its collective butt and break some sweat in order to maintain the value of its collective investment. In the absence of a stream of innovative and useful suggestions, I recommend a close reading of the "Whitecoin Master To-Do List" as a possible starting point and as a broad outline of what should have been happening since Day 1. http://whitecoin.info/news/whitecoin-master-todo-list-051514/Sadly yours, Graham |

I assume that people saw this notification: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=628158.0Below you will find markets that we're removing on Monday, June 2nd. If you'd like to see them stick around, the best thing to do is spread the word and get the market active again. We generated this list based on average volume in the last week and length of time on Bittrex, or whether the wallet and network has been having trouble. In rare cases, we'll open LTC markets for coins or give the community more time to build volume. If you are a developer of a coin on this list and would like to keep your market on Bittrex, please contact us at support@bittrex.com ... QubitCoin: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-Q2C... Note: “If you are a developer of a coin on this list and would like to keep your market on Bittrex, please contact us”I single this out because it provides a datum point to be considered when balancing the pros and cons of any altcoin; in particular, one that does not have an active developer. Cheers, Graham |

MOONCOIN DIES !!!  There's little point advertising dies for Mooncoin unless you also list their price and availability. Cheers, Graham |

I believe there is one more; [CHC] choiccoin
That seems to be in flux - the bct thread refers to CHCC but the source code remains as CHC. Cheers, Graham |

Will send you a PR for the .icn file to replace BC graphic with CLAM.
Awesomeness!!I'm sure you can understand how important security is when it comes to compiled binary files, especially a crypto like CLAMS. As soon as our primary tech guy comes around, we will have to have a chat. I wasn't clear. The PR is for just a clams-rebranded OS X .icns resource file to replace the existing Blackcoin one for when you compile the app. Cheers, Graham |

Interresting, but should wait for the MAC OSX client Have no fear, the OSX Client will be here very soon  I hope so, really love the idea behind your coin, want to take part. Thanks so much  Will put a rush on it for you Got one working here on OS X 10.6. I was able to run ./Clam.app --salvagewallet successfully in a terminal window. All working fine so far, staking successfully. Will send you a PR for the .icn file to replace BC graphic with CLAM. Cheers, Graham |

I have very often this message in log file:
ERROR: ProcessBlock() : duplicate proof-of-burn
Is it a problem or the normal functioning status ?
FWIW, I'm seeing those error messages too. Cheers, Graham |

FWIW ... Everything is about sentiment. Can someone tell me why is DRK (Dark coin) better then Q2C? 1. It's got anonymity 2. If qubit's chain of 5 algos is claimed to offer more security than the standard chain of 1, then a chain of 11 algos offers more security than a chain of 5, and so on up to x13 currently. (According to my count there are 16 algorithms that could stand to be chained, I'm tempted to cut to the chase and release x2 3coin) Things might pick up, the recently-announced MYR-clones Czechcoin [1] and Givebackcoin [2] both include qubit amongst the algos they offer. But you already have the answer; sentiment. It's unfortunate that it is too broad a label to be of much practical use but you can bring (slightly) more precise terms into play by drawing directly from psychology: "perception" and "attitude", you could also use the marketing term: "brand value alignment". Look, I could explain it to you ... but then I'd have to rekindle your will to live. Everything is working smooth with Q2C. Even the power consumption (mining) is the same. I didn't know that about the power consumption, thanks for the datum. I use an entry-level laptop, so (atm) I'm ignorant of such technical gems. It's just such a shame that no-one's thought to do a few principled measurements and provide some basic metrics for qubit performance on a small range of standard kit. It doesn't need to be a mining profitability app, just a summary table of rewards, illuminating the range. I know, someone is going to say that Q2C doesn't have a developer but I don't think this is the reason. Perhaps it's not the reason but you may have to admit that it could be one of them. How do you think the exchange price of Q2C might react to a Fox news bulletin reporting, say, that Evan Duffield was leaving Dark in order to take over development of Qubit for a rumoured transfer fee of 12m DOGE. That said, the market might be enthusiastic but, going on past performance, the Q2C mining community might have some objection.

Rule Britannia!!
Two exclamation points - not British yourself, then? Bounty (10,000GBC) Big reward for a really classy website. If you are interested please message me. Isn't it obvious to you that you can't support a claim that a value of 10000 is "big" without a reference to the total number of coins produced? When we turn into POS we will have our own multipool hosted by our team here. Where exactly is "here"? Can you please communicate your real name, address and contact details and can you please ensure that they are prominently displayed on the website. Looks like you need to take a short refresher course in UK business, the Office of Fair Trading's web site is a good first port of call: http://www.oft.gov.uk/, where you can read exactly what's expected of online businesses operating in the UK: Although the OFT does have the capability to take criminal cases, the majority of the OFT's online enforcement deals with civil breaches of consumer protection legislation such as:
- misleading selling, including deceptive online marketing and advertising practices
- unfair trading practices by traders not complying with their legal obligations
- malicious internet practices that can have an adverse impact on consumer online security and e-commerce, and
- other forms of unfair trading practices that reduce consumer confidence in online transactions. I strongly recommend that you take the first step in redeeming your coin launch by communicating your real name, address and contact details, it is the minimum standard for UK web business. As an aside, I find it interesting that you're trying to launch an altcoin with a "GreatBritain" theme when those of us who are actually living and working in the UK are aware that the Union itself could well be profoundly changed in a very short time [1], potentially marooning GBcoin as an anachronistic irrelevance. This is something that any serious investor would need to know. Cheers, Graham [1] http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/may/27/uk-cinema-chains-ads-scottish-independence-referendum |
