the problem I see is that $1/1000 is way too low, especially given the services you provide.

I would need to create 3500 coins per day to break even with your 350 Khash/day Scrypt contract, something that even at difficulty 1 was not possible (now it's diff 4, I don't know the maths but it's like what, 150 coins per day?)

If we simply follow the maths of the services you provide then the coin should be $20/1000

yes and honestly I just stopped mining because of the price given.

I do understand they are a company and cannot give out stuff/services for free/livecoin at high rates.. but this price is just.. too low

I see it as a starting price i mean people put alot of time into shit coins that don't have a purpose the prices are starting prices its not like they won't go up if it hits cryptsy or coinex. Every coin starts out low but at least it starts with a purpose other then most the coins that lunch.

The issue I see with that is no one will want to pay more then there real value on any exchange.   If there set  value is 1000/1$ why would anybody ever pay more then there worth?   The value live chains gives to them would have to vary with the market

Thanks xploited. We're still comparing our code to others with a similar re-target and don't see any difference that would prevent us from settling on our initial 30 block re-target. I'm thinking it takes some time to settle considering the (slight) complexity of the code actually handling the re-target you pointed out. Correct me if I'm wrong though? Thank you.

I just took a look tat the noblecoin codebase and its  the same as the earthcoin code in that function.

As its currently wrote retargets will happen every block, like earthcoin does.   That code is missing the section that tells it to limit the retargets to a certain interval.

An example of the code from the litecoin client is

Code:
// Only change once per interval
    if ((pindexLast->nHeight+1) % nInterval != 0)
    {
        // Special difficulty rule for testnet:
        if (fTestNet)
        {
            // If the new block's timestamp is more than 2* 10 minutes
            // then allow mining of a min-difficulty block.
            if (pblock->nTime > pindexLast->nTime + nTargetSpacing*2)
                return nProofOfWorkLimit;
            else
            {
                // Return the last non-special-min-difficulty-rules-block
                const CBlockIndex* pindex = pindexLast;
                while (pindex->pprev && pindex->nHeight % nInterval != 0 && pindex->nBits == nProofOfWorkLimit)
                    pindex = pindex->pprev;
                return pindex->nBits;
            }
        }

        return pindexLast->nBits;
    }

Regarding the difficulty, we were always under the impression that this line in the main.cpp handled the re-target (making it every 30 minutes or blocks). We've also been told in the early stages it's more complicated than that and will fluctuate until hash-rates rise and settle. Can anyone with more technical experience of this please share with us your experience/knowledge. Thanks.

LINE 836 static const int64 nTargetTimespan = 30 * 60;                    // 30 x 60 seconds (30 blocks)

From my understanding that just defines how long you would like the average target time span to be. Difficulty retargeting is taken care of slightly below that, it should be around like 920 in the main.cpp file but I'm not looking at the code for noblecoin specifically so I dobt that is exact.

Look for the function

Code:
unsigned int static GetNextWorkRequired(const CBlockIndex* pindexLast, const CBlock *pblock)

that is where the difficulty re targeting is handled.

muahahahahaha 1000coins per 1 now lets hope it hits an exchange to have the coins sky rocket. LVC FOR THE WINNNNN!!!

1000 coins per 1 what ?

1$


so you mean to tell me i've already made $2,393???  Shocked Shocked

so you mean to tell me you have 2,393,000 LVC?

thats over 80% of all the LVC thats currently been mined.

Yeah.


Ive just been reading around some posts people out there selling there coins for a pittance are going to be WOUNDED come Sunday, so if you holding coins and waiting in line to see what there going to be worth good for you cos right now there worth more than the shit some people are paying for them its staggering

I have no idea what there worth and I haven't even looked but I'm holding on to my 10k!  I'll tell you that, I'm excited to see what I can spend them on!

The android wallet I'm working on is a lite client and doesn't have to download the entire blockchain to work, just the block headers. I think a lite client is the best solution for a mobile app where the block can get so large.

I absolutely agree. Forcing the user to download / sync each time would make it basically unusable.

It will still technically download and sync each time, it will just download the block headers which are much smaller cutting sync time to practically nothing. When you receive coins it will download the entire block the coins belong to at that point to verify the transaction. It goes deeper then that and some of its still a little over my head currently but thats a good general overview.

EarthCoin Iphone App (still in development).

What you can do with the app:

Adress balance (saves your address)
Price and best Exchange Market for it
24H percentage
Mining DIff rating
BtcVolume
Coinmarket cap Rank
Push Notifications when the price changes (you can set the prices yourself)

We are talking with the releaser of EarthCoin to use the app also for announcements, so that he can reach all coin owners at once if somethings up.

We chose the design based on simplicity and i think FLAT design is real cool...but you can send me feedback if you have a better idea about the look of it and also maybe adding other stuff in the app.

Sending and receiving coins is something i am already looking into, the problem is the block chain, to download it all to a phone is nonsense...so it has to be done all online with a backend....we are looking into that.


 

sleek, I like it. atm the whole EAC folder in appdata is not even 180MB on my PC.... it is still quite a lot for a cellphone, but considering 32 gig is standard nowadays and it is getting more and more, and samsung usually offers exchangeable SD cards in their cell phones, even the 180MB sounds not totally insane...

some games already need gigabytes on android

The android wallet I'm working on is a lite client and doesn't have to download the entire blockchain to work, just the block headers. I think a lite client is the best solution for a mobile app where the block can get so large.

For people asking about the android app. I was away from my computer the last day while they finished up repairs in my apartment so I haven't been able to finish up the coding. Im back in and settled now though so I'm  finally getting some real work done. I expect to sent it out to a few people for some QA later this evening.

 If all goes well with the testing it will be released shortly after.  
251  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN - NEW COIN JUST LAUNCHED] *EarthCoin* Is Here To Make A Splash For 2014! on: January 07, 2014, 11:27:29 AM
No broken water pipes can stop this guy! Some news about the Android wallet.

So I finally sent the first eac to and from the Android wallet I've been working on.  Needless to say I was and still am incredible happy about this! Arguably the most satisfying .1 eac I've ever received  Smiley

As with all altcoin clients I've seen it's a fork of bitcoinj and bitcoin-wallet.  I am going to continue to improve and adapt it for earthcoins more specifically as earthcoins long term plans are laid out but it's a solid base to start on and has most everything you would want for an Android client from the get go.

I'm not sure exactly when this will be released as I still have to coordinate with earth devs and the exchange rates won't work until eac is on crypts.. I could code in the other exchanges but I think cryptsy numbers better reflects a coins value then the smaller exchanges. Correct me if I'm wrong though,  I am reasonable new to crypto.

when it is ready it will be available on google play and the source on git for anyone to compile from scratch if so desired.

I could use a few people to help with testing before it's released so if you have an android device and want to help pm me your device model and os version.

Be careful people, there is a scammer pretending to have a give-away, when the only thing he does is take the money from people..

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=400396.0

Read page 9 + 10, then you know why....

I thought he was just being cheeky and re-defining the idea of a giveaway as being a giveaway to himself?


I thought so as well. IF you read his first post its pretty clear he wasn't planning a giveaway in the tradition sense, more of a give to him giveaway.

I thought it was amusing and am much surprised people actually sent coins to him

Any news about the Android app?

Android app dev is waiting for earthcoin to hit Cryptsy.

I am waiting for cryptsy but thats not the only barrier right now.

I also had a flood in my apartment, which has slowed development down considerable the last few days. They finally let me back into my apartment today so I got my cpu setup in my kitchen while repairs are done, but I'm back on it.

It was just about ready when the set back happened so I expect it to be along very shortly now that I can get back to work.

and I like conspiracies just as much as the next guy who think they are totally stupid, but EAC has over 250 votes on cryptsy and we would have been added a long time ago, if the devs not EXPLICITELY asked for cryptsy not to add them too early.

just read the damn thread....

now that enough people have mined and we can expect good volume, they want EAC on cryptsy...

look at doge: a highly successful coin, but after it had been added to big exchanges like cryptsy, it went down every day. why? cause it was added too early.

EAC did the right thing by waiting 2 weeks

I've read the entire thread and I remember the post that earthcoin said he wasn't sure why eac was not on cryptsy,  and that they had no control over when it happened. Obviously eac hadn't starting inquiring until recently for the reasons you pointed out.

So,  while it's possible cryptsy was following this post and didn't add it out of respect,  that is just speculation.

I'm also not claiming the pic as fake,  for clarification.  I thought it was coming very soon  even before that

took me 1 minute to find this...
wonder why you conspiracy guys never bother to search for sources that contradict your theories...

Just a general update for now:

Deviant has been compensated with eac and we appreciate the patch a lot. Smiley It is now officially part of our github set (was removed to audit/compare for a short while, it's there now for good).

Dev team is monitoring closely and still comparing/auditing, glad to see more and more pools stabilizing.

Those asking for exchanges, we'd actually rather NOT be on any yet. Still need time to let this get mined and adopted, giveaways complete for a few rounds, bounty's/tools getting developed, some shops taking on the coin, etc. We fear that if Cryptsy lists it as is now it may have the same effect as many that get listed prematurely and phase out after initial spike.

Feel free to suggest tools you guys would like - we'd be happy to have you help us shape a part of the bounty collectively for most useful stuff for you guys to have available. Device apps, checkers/tickers/calculators/prediction tools, cool marketing assets, write-ups/instructions (even for the most basic stuff/wallet use/install/mining - all nicely branded etc for the noob to crypto to understand easily).. Also perhaps a new website contest if you guys aren't feeling this one.

We should have some source files available soon too for any designers out there re photoshop and vector originals of the logo's, color pallets, gold coins etc.

Still have a bounty out for a MAC build of the client for 100,000eac

Linux 32bit client done - will be available on the website and I'll post a link here soon.

Checking the sales thread, it's interesting watching a community balance out and set an initial value to these coins, first time seeing this part of the process myself. I'm sure the balance will happen naturally before any large volume is moved or exchanges set us up (if others care to pitch in feel free, values are all over the board and I assume this is what happens on brand new coins).

Thank you.

edit: "I've read the entire thread" my ass

Say what?  I never said ti was a conspiracy, in fact I suggested it wasn't.  In the quote you give he says "actually rather NOT be on any yet". To me that suggests he has no control over when it will happen or it would be worded "We will not be on any exchanges till so and so".  If they had any control whatsoever they would have refined from coinex and coinedup.

Ive been supporting this since the beginning, helped with the block explorer and am currently finishing up the android wallet for the community so I want earthcoin to succeed.

I'm just saying that at no point did the devs suggest they had any say when it would be added. Just that they would prefer not to be.

You somehow took that as they were in control of when it was added.

No you dont understand..... Miners in Australia get shown that the 2x day is in 20 minutes from now on... in Germany 11 Hours...
Maybe some miners want to throw in some extra hashes at the right time.

Does that matter?  It doesnt matter where you are, the thing starts at the same moment for everybody. So wheter you 're in Samoa or Greenland, it's all the same waitingperiod.

yeah, the countdown is useless unless the guy making it adjusts it so all miners worldwide get the same hours/time shown...

for me in EU it is 9h, but I know that EAC started at 5 am or so, since I started solo mining right at the first minute (but I was very tured, so I might be off on an hour or so)

I'd be interested in:  does EAC use the US date or a real xxx days after launch calculated by using it's exact launch hour?

Its based on the unix timestamp.  The first mined block was December 21 at 1am or so.   1387588200 or so in unix (these are rough, not exact). add 14 days to that adn you get 1388797800. Convert that to your local time zone and your set! 



Or just use this site...http://eac.coinpoint.org/

Time is the same for everyone...


I don't understand what you mean?  not only is time not the same for everyone is the measured sense (aka its 9:39 where I am and 10:09 2 provinces over) While we are both experiencing the time simultaneously the measurement of said time is different depending on where you are.

Then of course theres relativity, but I'm guessing thats not what you were talking about.

p.s
i think it's worth to mention that if there will be an IOS wallet app, it will be available *only* to jailbreaked devices. as Apple meticulously screens apps before letting them to be installed on factory firmwared iPhones and iPads.
 

While thats not entirely accurate, it might as well be. Ad Hoc distribution allows you to serve a application outside of the app store, but its limited to 100 devices.
