I wish:)

That's a bullshit definition of a community decision.  It was decided by Mintpal and dictated to the VRC development team.  The other exchanges had little choice but to follow.  The community had zero choice.


Yes

No that's not how it works unless they go in and completely alter the blockchain which is even more disturbing.


You mean Mintpal? No they won't - we wouldn't need a hardfork if they did this.


Keep sticking your tongue up Mintpal's arse.  This is a case of destroying Vericoin to save Mintpal and nothing less.  Stop being a mindless shill.

Guys it is suicide to roll back because of Mintpal.  Mintpal should be made to pay for the losses.  No exchange should have the ability to force a hardfork in a coin because of their failure.  This will ruin the credibility of Vericoin purely to save Mintpal.  Mintpal is a vicious cancer to the community and this just proves it.

He talks of panic selling, yet he talks with an air of desperation.  He seems to be panic posting.  If he really thought this coin was over there would be no need for him to post here anymore.

Fantastic, thanks.

One really big thing that would help, would be some sort of marketplace that only accepted Britcoin as payment.  It would probably be pretty easy for someone who knows about such things to set one up for minimal cost.  I would do it myself if I had the experience.  I think I have previously linked to someone who has successfully produced a Kickstarter type campaign to do this for Scotcoin.

In addition some of us could pool some of our funds to buy some crypto mining hardware wholesale and sell it in such a marketplace to help get the ball rolling, get more interest initially in the crypto community (for a start before more general attention).  For example lower end ASICs, riser cards and the like which are actually not so easy to get hold of at reasonable prices in the UK/Europe.

Another useful thing would be the ability to buy Britcoin directly from the wallet using Bitcoins or fiat.  For the fiat side of things this could be handled by an exchange such as Cryptsy or C-Cex that do dollar/crypto conversions.

Also if everyone keeps asking Bittylicious to support direct buying of Britcoins they will eventually add them.

He's doing people a service.

LMFAO

Understatement of the century.  This guy is so pathetic that he passes his time trolling on a forum for an alt-coin which he thinks is worthless and has no future.  So sad that people's lives are so pointless that this is the only way they can get off.

I don't think that's a good idea.  It's far too early for BRITcoin to be on Mintpal.

Might be useful to have a guide (with a link in the OP) to explain step by step how to get mining on CoinKing.

No definite time yet.  They said at least 24 hrs but I'm still not sure if I'll need to do any tinkering with it/need any assistance.  That's why I'm happy CoinKing is working - means there's no rush.  Their interface and setup is really easy to use and I've already got my miners on there until my pool gets setup. 

Assuming I get the Livechains thing working well we could consider changing the coin list/algos to varieties that Coinking don't currently have so that it would be an adjunct rather than an alternative (e.g. CPU coins like memory coin, cryptonite coins etc).

I've set a stopwatch on my computer so that whenever I'm there I can vote every hour.  It's a lot easier than trying to remember the time.

OH SH**!  I wasn't paying attention.  It's at no. 10 now!  I think we should just vote for every other coin that's near it.  If I find the moron who's doing this.....

Didn't think of that.  Obviously make it a coin that has a decent chance.  We don't want to kill someone else's coin.

Fantastic. Thank you:)

I've tried them (Mintpal) and they never respond.  I don't think theres much more we can really do except hope that MNR doesn't get on.  On a more positive note whilst investigating multipools for another coin I'm into (BRIT) - I've found a potential Multipool which we can get running for not very much cost (assuming people want the coin to go POS only).  Will test it out on BRIT and see how it goes.  Have lost a lot on coins lately but if I can make some money back in the next few weeks I could use some BTC to give it a try with Mjollnir, maybe? I have no idea how to run a pool so might be a total failure.  

Any of the GPU mining rigs will work - ignore the ASICs.  The faster the GPU the more hashes you will get with MNR.  If you are only renting you will need to make sure that the people who are running it for you set it up right to mine mjollnircoin (see the settings at the start of this thread).

In alternative pool news: - Livechains were waiting for me to supply them with a full list of 10 coins - which I've done now.  They have told me it usually takes another 24 hours or so to get setup.  Obviously if it all works all right and I can bring in enough in fees to pay the server charges we could add more coins later.  Contrary to what I thought the Livechains pools do actually do profit switching automatically, so for example you choose the algorithm and they switch to the more profitable coin.  I've chosen these for the final list :

Bitcoin (SHA-256)
Fuelcoin(SHA-256)
Darkcoin (X11)
Global Denomination Coin (X11)
CryptCoin (X11)
Hirocoin (X11)
Litecoin (SCRYPT)
Vertcoin (SCRYPT-N)
Dirac (BLAKE 256)
N5coin (NIST5)

I went for more X11 coins due to it being summer and people (myself included) seeming to prefer the lower heat output nowadays.  The difference in profitablility of SCRYPT coins was so small that I thought it best to just go with LTC initially which seems most consistent over time and the differences between coins are very small in terms of profit.  Similarly the rarer algorithms are also there more as a test.  Like I said if it all works right and I can afford it we can add in more according to what is profitable.

Yes it's probably best to go with them for now because they know what they are doing.  We can keep Livechains in reserve or as an experiment because I still haven't heard back from them which might be because they are having issues (e.g. due to BRIT not being on Cryptsy).  Right now actually having a pool running is more important than which one it is or who is running it:)

No I mean Livechains.  I think their support is US based because they were still responding to me at 9-10 pm last night but not since.  Could just be that they are busy though.
