Whatever gets the most real-world applications will continue to thrive. Everything else will continue to live in the realm of speculators.
I think LTC and DGC are the best candidates. Other than those, we have more targeted altcoins (e.g. SXC) that should survive quite a while too.

How realistic is it to aim for one penny per coin, with the sheer amount being produced? What is the worth of the words awarded the 180 million DVC produced every round? 1.8 million dollars?

The error comes from these two lines: def _unpack(self, data):
obj, (data2, pos) = self.read((data, 0))
assert data2 is data
if pos != len(data):
raise LateEnd()
return obj
def unpack(self, data):

if length > self._max_payload_length:

log.err(None, 'Error handling message: (see RECV line)')
self.transport.loseConnection()
I'm not very familiar with Python, but what this appears to do is to check that read() consumes all the data. What data is the payload? Also: type_ is getattr(self,'message_tx',None). What is the definition of message_tx? |

DVC is merge-mined (you won't find many pure-DVC pools...).
Go check out Bitparking. They merge-mine many coins.

PM'd you. I can try to help.

50 QRK? Wow, thanks!

Let me ask you: What do you want Bytecoin to be? Making this coin merge-mined will indeed stabilise the coin and revive it. But what exactly will this achieve? It will make Bytecoin just another merge-mined coin, a row in the growing list of coins merge-mined by Bitparking ("Bytecoin - 0.000xxxxx"). Bytecoin will become just another tool to make extra money while mining Bitcoin - see Ixcoin for an example. For a coin to be truly alive it must have a community, not just a stable hashrate.
Just some thoughts to consider.
Then again, it's your fork, so do whatever you want. Just be aware that whatever you are doing will cause the current miners to be outvoted about 100:1 or more with no defence.

The starting diff was 0.00024414 (1/4096 -> 1048576 hashes required).
The hashrate of the entire network is thus approximately (22 blocks in 137:21) -> 2800 hashes per second...
The coin has a nice backstory, but the implementation leaves much to be desired. Good try, devs, but this coin probably isn't going anywhere fast.
|
|
|
|
|
What I can't figure out is how the developers managed to premine 128 blocks when the entire network has only found 17 blocks in 2 hours...

I see my memory usage for pangubi-qt fluctuating wildly... Is scrypt-pgc a memory-hard type of scrypt?

Hey, why the download site is in chinese? I know it's going to be 2nd world's language in some time, but I think currently we still prefer English  Briefly, the guts: 1 minute -> 1 block, 1 block -> 10 PGB, 520 confirms for generation, difficulty adjusts once a day, reward halves every 2 years, total 30 million coins The trivia: "Pangu is a figure of Chinese legend, one who can hold up the sky while standing firmly on the ground. It is generally agreed in Chinese mythology that Pangu seperated sky and earth, and gave his body to create the world. In the ancient past, a large egg floated in nothingness, and inside was Pangu. For 18,000 years, he attempted to free himself from the egg, and finally he escaped. One half of the egg turned into gas and floated up, becoming the sky, and the other half sank down and started becoming thicker, then becoming the land. And so the universe began." Edit: Can't download. First time, got stuck at 280K, second time got stuck at 1M. Here's hoping that it is successful this time. |

For me the download link just leads back to pangubi.com...

Now up to 0.43063003 (28.2K) difficulty! I'm out  Do the math... this is bargain basement pricing! On 42 KH/s, this is 2 blocks a day. Perhaps when I get a real rig... then we're talking  |

Diff is at 0.20358554 - network hashrate about 5.8 MH/s! I've got 2 blocks (49782 and 49813) with 42 KH/s  Edit: Seems that I got lucky. Diff has become 0.28261488 at block 49974 |

BTE?
BTE is a coin meant to be a 1:1 clone of Bitcoin. Currently it is in a relatively quiet state (dormant, about 24 blocks in the past day http://bte.cryptocoinexplorer.com/chain/Bytecoin) due to the long retarget time of 2016 blocks and the high current difficulty, but it is hoped for it to rise up again. A fork (switch to merged-mining, change difficulty retarget) has been proposed, but it is under consideration. |
