...And where the hell is Bruno?
I'm in Baltimore, at Rassah's, after having a nice dinner at Hard Rock. It's only ~300 posts to read to get caught up on this epic thread. Say Hi to Rassah for me. And read your PM's. |

Any particular reason? I've been a customer of pbmining longer than stan. I know cuz he's through my link  They've been responsive, delivered on their word, and work like a charm. Unlike a lot of other people I can name. Curious about PBMining myself but I refuse to sign up just so I can see what the price is. .0075 per GH/s right now. It'll go down in a few days. I think every diff change. They've done well by me. |

Not to rub salt into anyone's wounds but did you know that right now over at CEX.io you can buy 1THs of cloudmining for just a smidge over $5000 or 10BTC? And you would be hashing immediately. Crazy how the tides have turned! This doesn't bode well for anyone still waiting on a hardware preorder.  1th at 5000 will never pay off, even with no power cost.
Just pointing out the fact that preorder 1THs miners are worthless now that you can get immediate cloudmining for the same price. I just spent 6 BTC about a week ago on a BitMain S2 1THs miner to arrive in April. And before it arrives, CEX.io prices will probably be lower still. In-stock is now absolutely the only option! Even the quick turn-around BitMain/Spondoolies et al. are looking silly if cloudhashing can get close to matching the price. here's a shameless plug, since we're on cloudmining topic. http://pbmining.com?ref=stanno" .0075BTC per GH and price drops every week. 5 year contract. FYI, the ballbag calling himself asprin will give you negative trust for posting those links. he did it to me a few weeks ago. Any particular reason? I've been a customer of pbmining longer than stan. I know cuz he's through my link They've been responsive, delivered on their word, and work like a charm. Unlike a lot of other people I can name. |

You guys won't get rewarded everyday from stake! Do some research on how pos works on other coins. It's the same thing people crying right off the bat they haven't got anything. This is not mining. It is a energy saving way of keeping up the block chain and getting some reward. If you want to mine then pow is for you.
Repeating the same thing doesn't change the fact that some are getting it at LOW amounts and others are not getting it at all. Sure, there is some element of randomness, but by this point in the game everyone should have gotten something. Even one. I took the smart choice and sold out. The gentleman who bought my coins made me about recoup what I would have got mining a coin that works. I wish you all luck. ok so i was an early miner of blackcoin, i had about 250,000 at one point. once pos kicked in, i was getting like 1000 coins per day, or something rediculously low. i said fuck that, something is broken and sold out at 2000 satoshi, and we all know what happened their. people do not realize, POS is not the same as mining, and is why this coin is MUCH rarer than people REALIZE at the moment. i have 3 million SHA in my wallet, at this moment, and am getting about 70 POFMINED every 30 minutes or so at the moment. i dont think its broken, i just think its how it works, and people think POS is going to like double their coin stack in a month, but thats not how it works. why do you think blackcoin price has been so resilient lately, theirs not that many coins being generated everyday, like alot of pow coins, when they become profitable, all miners switch, and DUMP no, I calculated around 60 coins a day based on 25% per annum. What I got was zero coins per day. that is a 0 % per annum, -electricity. granted the electricity is negligible, but I don't see this as fixable. when people with 3k coins are getting a screenfull of generated coins and I get exactly zero, even when I follow the exact steps they are, then the only conclusion is that the system is irretrievably broken. I hope for all of you sticking it out that I am wrong. We'll see. |

This is random guys. 25% per year. Not today. Give it a while for God's sake.
It was not advertised as random. It was not sold as if it was going to be a gamble whether or not it would work depending on who you are. No hint of such mechanism was ever expressed. If I want to gamble, I'll gamble. If I want to mine, I'll mine. If I want a stake, then I expect the terms of the stake to mean what they say. Two days of NOT mining bitcoin for a coin that clearly is broken isn't something that inspires me to relax. I'm pissed, and I won't pretend I'm not. As noted above, people with 1/3 of my coins are generating stake. I'm not. It's a load of shit no matter how you look at it. Again, anybody who thinks this is worth something, PM me. I'll sell my coins. If I don't get any takers in the next day or two, your coins will become more valuable by 89k when I delete the wallet. To the dev: Thanks a lot for wasting my time. Don't post specs you don't mean. I have been having all kinds of issues with this coin, but it has been mining in pos for me, with only 3k as POS i randomly ger 3-4sha coins, but i have a bunch of other issues like random desync, coins bought from exchange just sitting in unconfirmed, ect Well, that makes it official. It doesn't stake for me, and obviously never will. I have done EVERYTHING that I'm supposed to, and generate no stake. Yet you get it with 3k. Thats what, 3 %? Fuck me for a fool. |

so how many gajillion coins do you have to have to get a stake? I'm not gonna blast all four cores mining to MAYBE have it get something every few weeks. I spent a fair amount of electricity to run this failed experiment. If 89k coins is not enough to generate a stake, then what's the point?
I have just under 39k coins and they have minted skate three times so far 70.323972, 4.230821 and 3.39726 are the minted coins from the stake. You don't need to mine just keep your wallet open. The first batch is almost done Status: 29 confirmations, broadcast through 3 nodes Date: 3/28/2014 17:38 Debit: 0.00 SHA Net amount: -10000.00 SHA Transaction ID: c60ec28600bcebe907733d511cf25bce1ca09e1047c3d9dc9afa273573dea8df Generated coins must mature 30 blocks before they can be spent. When you generated this block, it was broadcast to the network to be added to the block chain. If it fails to get into the chain, its state will change to "not accepted" and it won't be spendable. This may occasionally happen if another node generates a block within a few seconds of yours. I have exactly 89254.318478 SHA. This number has not changed ONCE since my last mining payout. All but maybe the last 100 coins are eligible for stake. My wallet has been unlocked and active the entire time, except for resyncing 8 times, for a total loss of maybe twenty minutes. It hasn't staked, it hasn't twitched. I've now tried the shacoin.conf as recommended, still nothing. I've tried setgenerate true, all I did was heat up my cpu. HOW THE FUCK are you getting stake with 1/3rd of the coins I have? Not yelling at you, I'm just frustrated as hell. This shit apparently only works for some people. My coins are for sale. I might as well get something out of this. It has obviously chosen to NOT honor my stake. It would be nice to know how that works, I could possibly game it. |

Sir: it is not speculative. Using a bitcoin calculator and putting in the 1.2Th/s hash rate, 1500W it gives you a definitive number of at least $1800 of mining income lost. It would be speculative if I was trying to figure out lost income for April. The clock keeps ticking. There is nothing up to the imagination, I ordered a 1.2T miner, I was promised it would ship by Feb. I lost income. Those are all facts.
Sorry, but that's not the case. Because the difficulty would have been different if you (and the others who did not but would have)received the miner(s). Every other argument you've made is valid in court. That one a first day law student would shoot down. Successfully. 100% correct. I cheated. My wife is a lawyer. I asked her. Could you do me a favor and ask her if advertising 300-600 watts but delivering 900-1300 watts would be considered bait and switch or just deceptive advertising? It's a good argument, but not definitive. They could argue that it was based on the numbers given by the chip manufacturer, but then they should have updated in a timely fashion. I think the best you'd get for that is negligence, which is sufficient for a refund. |

I don't know if worldwide difficulty would go up just because of AMT 1Th/s miners, but now it seems many manufactures are now releasing 1Th/s miners which would add up. I am also not going to be referencing other miners. Even if difficulty was slightly higher, it would still be lost income. It's not that simple to discuss, so I will keep it at that. heh.
Understood. I don't think your argument is invalid in a general sense, I just can't see it flying in court due to the variable nature of bitcoin and the fact that the network is not static. In fact, it seems to be on another spike right now, with a whole bunch of vendors using Innnosilicon's version of the very same chip that AMT is using. Except you can actually get a dragon miner. |

Hope this shit is working now because my wallet is mining like a madman right now. More than 10 blocks per minute
you ate all the pies.  I can only assume that I am getting so many due to my coins age and the amount I have.  I had 2 nice fat blocks too. One for over 600 and another for over 400. wait. Is the wallet supposed to be set to mine, or just the wallet unlocked? Set to mine. Encrypted and unlocked. I open my wallet then run a bat file located in the wallet folder. @echo off
@echo Enter PPC password...
SET /P variable=Password :
SHACoind walletpassphrase %variable% 9999999 true Then I put in my password in the window that opens. That then enables mining. I unlocked it from the console rather than the batch method... but do I need to set generate to true also? |

The longer the age of your coin, the more weight your eligible coins have. It's kinda like your coins get more hashing power the older they are, increasing your chances of getting a block.
I agree...with POS, its based on a formula for # of coins and the coins age. It is still a form of mining and there is some luck involved...it's not something that just happens when you open your wallet. Not what was stated prior by the devs. It's supposed to stake according to age. ALL of my coins are now eligible to stake, none have. |

Some of you are getting stake. WTF are you doing? I have deleted everything but the wallet SEVEN TIMES and still there is no stake. It did finally sync. I'm going to do it one more time, but I don't have any hope of it actually working. I have neither gained nor lost coins. I have had the wallet unlocked except upon restart for the whole time since block about block 14550. Getinfo shows stake at zero. Staked coins, if any, are not showing different in the new wallet. I can't mine more, obviously, and the POS was the whole purpose of this exercise in futility. WTF?  Run repairwallet from the console of the wallet. Close the wallet. Reopen the wallet. Wait... 15:39:25  Welcome to the SHACoin RPC console. Use up and down arrows to navigate history, and Ctrl-L to clear screen. Type help for an overview of available commands. 15:39:32  repairwallet 15:39:32  { "wallet check passed" : true } then walletpassphrase <mypass> 9999999 true Wallet shows encrypted and unlocked. Waiting. Last attempt. |

it is working, atleast I think... It says something generated but not accepted and says 0 of 10 confirms... Is this normal?
Mine is just sitting connected. Not gaining, not losing. Synched, but no stake or any action on stake. Wallet "encrypted and unlocked". Anybody want to buy 89254.318478 SHA? I mined for two days because of the POS. It is obviously NOT going to work. |

synched new version, STILL no stake. I've had it unlocked the whole time. POS broken?
