Hippie Tech: we are adding the feature today

What truth?

We understood the position of infovortice2013 the first time, it is not needed to repeat 10+ times after that with nothing helpful in mind.
No one has guaranteed anything to anyone, yes?
Maybe your expectations were unrealistic?

If bitcoin have a future, then 42Coin have a future. Just wait.

UPDATE:

Looks like this coin has also fallen victim to the negative target spacing problem that has plagued many other coins recently; however, this one seems to have failed much earlier. Last proof-of-work block was accepted around 8th October 2013. scrypt/proof-of-work mining would have stopped working at this time.

I tried a short run of test mining and the behaviour is identical to the other coins such as ADT, CDC, ORB etc which have the same bug: miner finds a block, but the client quietly ignores it, never announcing it to the network.

There is one strange difference I've noticed when compared to the other failed coins. My client appears to be minting proof-of-stake blocks that are of the same value (8+ Maples) as a proof-of-work block, but the network is reporting the expected smaller amounts of a proof-of-stake win (0.03 or lower)

My client says I generated this block and was granted 8.03843900:

    {
        "account" : "",
        "category" : "generate",
        "amount" : 8.03843900,
        "confirmations" : 172,
        "generated" : true,
        "blockhash" : "da42cd01bd50a31fa62dc92f88193b8b4cdcc8120ff4db293659a755b257610e",
        "blockindex" : 1,
        "blocktime" : 1388184041,

        "tx-comment" : "",
        "timereceived" : 1388184041
    },

But viewing block da42cd01bd50a31fa62dc92f88193b8b4cdcc8120ff4db293659a755b257610e directly, says the network only minted 0.01440100, and that it's a proof-of-stake block:

{
    "hash" : "da42cd01bd50a31fa62dc92f88193b8b4cdcc8120ff4db293659a755b257610e",

    "mint" : 0.01440100,
    "time" : 1388184041,

    "entropybit" : 0,
    "modifier" : "07c26fe21ffac077",

        "8d71db4788c75d7411b9c72a65db33d9291dd1384ec180a9a979db87e7dbf496",
        "29eb59bd78293fd17fd0158d08593144ae25e6c664c26b9d82a2930e23c21ad7"
    ],
    "signature" : "3046022100dd3507628db2f9175f39083ab1b2fb74f78988e097a97db5be0c3508a5be5a8602210 0e13af2a5cef9e1257ad5b7e7ed61f89b1b70fa5151e706e482131fbff1f981fa"
}

So although Maples can't be directly mined right now, it looks like those who hold a balance and keep their client running may be still able to mint normal block amounts. (?!) My balance is increasing, and I was able to send the entire amount to another address (which I realise now I shouldn't have done - no more PoS for a while!), so it looks like those 8+ PoS numbers my client is reporting are real.

I guess that leaves us in a weird elitist chicken and egg situation where you already need to have coins, in order to be able to generate new coins. Mind blown.

I lost/forgot my password !

Am I blind ? Where is the 'forgot your password' link ?

infovortice2013, nothing constructive from you in your last 10 posts only hating.
Leave this thread please : )

Wow, graincoin is way over valued. I think if you want to buy graincoin you should dump and buy back in a month. Same thing happens to every coin when it starts out, like a great darwinian test.

Until graincoins forums pick up I can't see how it will continue higher, they've had 10 posts this month.  I thought Col wasn't moving fast enough with 820 posts and 177 new members so far this month lol

Stop being sooo negative.

Trust the forum noobs else they will smite you !

Yes exactly.  We want to do this correctly.

However, not only that, it will be extremely innovative.

Near all dice casinos are doing 1% house edge. I stand firm in only doing 1% to give the user the best experience. Your calculations do not factor in social elements and other variables. However this is why I am looking for 2 or 3 investors, to greatly minimize risk. Just as a side note I have spoken with Hendo and maco and they are backing this project. Feel free to address me with any other concerns.

Hey guys! Sorry I forgot I posted this. My foodbank got a nice donation this year from another source, so my lodge was doing a nice thing where we bought toys for kids in the hospital on christmas. I believe I was able to buy about 25 WebKinz toys. I took a picture of both batches I got, I have a new computer so I have to go through the old ones harddrive and find the photos. As soon as I do I will post them here. I might even be able to find a newspaper clipping as it is in the local paper every year.  After looking though it, I found a photo of the first batch - https://i.imgur.com/rR9OT2X.jpg    I will look for a photo of the second batch here. Thanks for the support I got guys. The kid's were super excited to get the toys. It was all kinds of kids that got them, ones there longer term and ones that just had to come in and spend christmas in the hopsital. I love when stuff like this works out. Thanks again guys.

I've asked multiple times in this thread if the PoS was working. Nobody responded. Finally got my wallet connected and started receiving my PoS coins. All unconfirmed though.

Fantastic community support.
