You have to add more coins

He doesn't have to do anything.

I'll fill you in with the missing pieces for 1 BTC. 

The missing pieces are intentional.

You are making peoples mad to make alt coin. Close this thread please.

Everything is going as planned.

-BlockChain stored locally in files no larger then 200MB - the 2GB files that are currently used tend to bog down systems with lower memory. And will make running dedicated instances of *coind much easier.

Bitcoin already has the blockchain split into 128MB files and most of the altcoins aren't even past 20MB yet. Litecoin is the only currency with a single file anywhere near 2GB, and it's barely over 1GB.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Scrypt was chosen as the right encryption algorithm for Valuecoin from among other encryptions like Blue Midnight Wish, SHA3, and Skein.

Oh don't even try. You didn't choose scrypt, you just don't know how to change the algo Roll Eyes

So, what are you going to do with the million pre-mined coins?

Total gimmick. Shit grammar when they say,
"THE COIN CONTINUE ADD VALUE TO YOUR WEALTH"
"THE COIN  HOLD AND INCREASE YOUR WEALTH!"

Then the explanation can't be more prime for grammar.

DAFAQ

Never seen anything like this before.

Get ready for the

ALL YAUIR COIN ARR BELONG TO US

'Cause you know them China boys be ridin' around and getting it.

You obviously missed Realcoin.

It was the coin of the real life.

Is this the source of all these new altcoins? Tongue

Quite a few of them yes, definitely xencoin and 6coin were built off this. 6coin even still had foocoins copyright info in the QT.



Some other coins were built and sold by hazard.

OK Mr 1 week old account, we believe you

Obviously, it's impossible for some new person interested in cryptocurrency to have made an account in the last week. It must be an alt for someone who's been here longer. Everything else is impossible, right?

Block chain already filled up my hard drive. Sad

Did you happen to pick up your computer in the 80's? The blockchain's barely a couple MB yet.

Looking in the source code, it is 720 blocks:

Quote
static const int64 nTargetTimespan = 0.5 * 24 * 60 * 60;
static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 60;
static const int64 nInterval = nTargetTimespan / nTargetSpacing;

nInterval is number of blocks before difficulty retargets.

I was just looking at nTargetTimespan >_>

I feel like an idiot.

FYI - see here about a potential code issue - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=124303.msg2515204#msg2515204

I think those bits were mentioned in shake's cloning guide, so i assume he must've known to change it in doubloons as well.

As i understand it, in the source code it's measured in time, so I'm not sure how the retarget interval is affected by how many blocks are actually mined.

The idea is to try and keep transactions moving at a set rate by adjusting the difficulty up or down to try and reach an equilibrium for the size of the network.

Taking doubloons as an example it's goal is to try and solve 1 block every minute and do difficulty retargets every 12 hours. This is where the 720 blocks for difficulty retargets comes from:

12 hours = 43200 seconds
1 minute = 60 seconds
43200 / 60 = 720 blocks

This is all well and good when the network speed is consistent or at the very least doesn't fluctuate too much but in these days of flash miners you get a massive spike in mining which pushes the difficulty up and then just as fast as they came 4/5 (or more) of the miners abandon the coin. This leaves the coin stuck at too high a difficulty and there is no longer any possibility of getting anywhere near the next retarget block in a reasonable timeframe.

Sure the difficulty is guaranteed to come down because of this but it'll take a week to get there and this pattern will happen to every coin that doesn't take into consideration the flash miner problem when deciding how many blocks there are between difficulty retargets.

So you didn't read what I said at all. -_-

In the source, retarget interval is literally set to 12hrs flat out, not "720 blocks". How many actual blocks are mined at that time shouldn't affect the retargeting happening exactly when it's supposed to.

I think digitalindustry just has a crush on him. Pretty sure Hazard made a few coins for him.

Hazard made most of Kopimikoin, which is why he mentioned that hazard "issued himself" 900k. digitalindustry didn't know this until after release.

The thread was quite humourous.

Will there be an API for the exchange?
Absolutely! There will also be a free trading bot once we know the system is stable. Smiley

Wunderbar!

Doubloons, Florincoin, Kopimikoin, Argentumcoin, and that new Emerald garbage could be added?

Coin devs really need to stop referring to diff retargets in terms of time when in reality it is by the number of blocks solved. (No offence to shakezula intended, all devs refer to retargets in terms of time rather than block intervals).

When the flash miners desert (usually at 1.0 or above) then even 720 blocks can be a very painful interval. This has happened to pretty much every coin recently. At least 720 blocks isn't as bad as the default 2016 blocks.

In my honest opinion, all coins really need to start using much smaller retarget intervals so the coin is better suited to adjust it's difficulty for the size of the network and the dedicated miners don't get screwed over for too long when the flash miners leave.

As i understand it, in the source code it's measured in time, so I'm not sure how the retarget interval is affected by how many blocks are actually mined.

278  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to Scam: A guide by Emerald's "picasso" - Now Updated With Part 2! on: June 17, 2013, 09:22:01 PM
why are you all worried? instead of complaining, just ignore coins with premine and go for the ones that are fair and transparent, Noirbits has been out for just over a week with no premine and no scandals. In the end it's you miners that mine the crap coins that support them to exchange then get left with low value holdings when a dev dumps his premine. Join the new movement of fair launches with no premine. Mine Noirbits.

Except for that little issue where the people you gave the source to early to compile binaries didn't release the binaries and instamined the shit out of it.
279  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stablecoin, heavily premined, 1.2+ million coins premined!! on: June 17, 2013, 09:11:05 PM
1,250,000 premined for 350,000 coins available for the poor guys.
For a useless because traceable mixing service, a premine for an amount equal to the  limit of ONE operation had been enough.

Now, the greedy of preming does the coin dead.

artos is come back to the town? lol

280  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to Scam: A guide by Emerald's "picasso" on: June 16, 2013, 07:28:50 PM
Not the fact that it was mined, we know that. The fact that he is spending so much energy trying to hide the location of the coins so no one can directly trace what he uses it for.

There is no intention of using the coin for any purpose other than dumping it on everyone. There is no other reason to need to hide and move around the coins.

Ah, well that block explorer is down so I have no way of seeing that.
