Tor is on by default, you don't have to do anything. As far as I know you can't even disable it.

This is exactly what Ive been looking for! What an incredible idea! Thank you for putting in the time and effort to make something that equalizes the mining field and makes it much easier to introduce new users to altcoins (everyone has a cpu, gpu/asic not so much)

Edit
Windows wallet link is currently not working. Mega says file deleted
/Edit

Check out this post for the wallet link.

Shocked Embarrassed Undecided

Seen that this had been dumped this morning and it totally bummed me out..
I really like this coin to!



It will likely stay that way until the future is clear (PoS vs PoW). PoS with 0.2 PoW blocks would be the best imo.

If there was a solid buy support I'd buy more at these ridiculous prices but there isn't and I already have 5k.

What are the future plans of LEO to prevent further price degradation? As usual the project started out to be pretty optimistic but since September LEO is diving hard to the point that now is pretty much worthless and the trend seem to continue.
Granted, not many people around here knew about LEO up until a multipool added it and it's not on any of the usual and trusted exchanges but still, are there anything worthwhile planned in the future for this coin or is it just a futile last ditch effort to pump the price?

I'm waiting for an answer on this. 

It's hard to take a coin seriously when its price is only going down.

Also, are there any plans of adding this coin to well known public exchanges?

Offtopic: I picked up few mini 970s which only have one 8 pin connector and got surprised by how loud these are.
These are about 10% slower and about 10-15 °C hotter (at 90% fan speed mind you) than the 3 fan Windforce edition cards (at 70% fan speed). And collectively, they sound like a blowdryer.
I knew these would be louder and slower but not this much. Thought it could be useful info for others.

leo exchange is what leo pyramiders shows to people, any hint about the premine there? coz the leocoin group that I talked to don't know that ...and marketcap is 7.7M euro ...it fuels the greed of noobs and get exploited haha

anyway..if it is backed by a company corporation..what is the status of leocoin development? what did you developed? innovations? this wasn't even the first scrypt-jane coin.

                nSubsidy = 1000000 * COIN;
        }   
    return nSubsidy;
}

50 million premine and so far 15.7 million coins were mined in ~785k blocks.

It's clear that it's not meant for crypto-savvy people but I'm still curious what will happen to this coin. I suspect the company behind it can and probably will push the price back up where it was months ago, maybe even push it to an ATH to pull more people in.

Hi all,  Cheesy

We have a new survey in the website www.joincoin.org
We can decide the future expansion of Joincoin, there are possible choices. Vote and comment here!

I prefer POS option, because it's only way to stabilize / increase these prizes. Buy and hold is better than mine and sell.

That's a fallacy. PoS holders are also looking to sell for a profit when they decide to get out.
With miners at least there's a floor price because miners tend not to sell coins cheaper than the cost of mining them. Though that's not always the case.
But with PoS there's no floor, the price is completely arbitrary.
Besides, why would you want to hold a coin for months for a few percentages when the price changes drastically even on a daily basis?
And since it's completely free to stake coins (you just have to own them) everyone staking will earn at the same rate so everyone will just have a few more coins but you still need buyers to increase the price of a single coin.

Also, the multi algo PoW what makes this coin unique in the first place and PoS would take that away turning this coin into just another generic coin. At least go for PoW+PoS to keep that.

I know PoW has plenty of issues but I really don't get how people can take PoS in crypto even remotely seriously, it's pretty much just gambling. /rant

LOL. Not likely. His posts are all the same drunk uncle ranting and raving:

"Everyone is out to get me.
I get death threats.
I want my bad trust removed.
I'm a computer genius and hacker.
You guys are all noobs, idiots, and assholes.
I did not lose my shirt trading altcoins ... honest."

Reading spoet's posts is like being the only sober person in a room full of drunks. Its entertaining for 5 minutes and then you look for the nearest exit.

Well said.

One of the reasons I liked LEOcoin is that there is a company behind it and a Foundation that supports it, and I don't think that they will let it go. I see the company is pushing new plans for 2016, and LEOcoin might be part of these, but they're not some random people on the internet, you can see who they are and what they're doing and if you're on the exchange, you get news and updates about what's going on. Right now, mining is quite tough, but price seems to be quite stable now.

Now that's a sock puppet account if I ever seen one. Anyway, you're going to get ripped apart on forums like this for such obviously false statements. Just in the last 24 hours LEO is down by 22.6%.
And of course the market cap figure is also not reflecting reality because it takes into account the total supply and not the currently available supply. But then again, market cap in crypto is a completely useless number.

Most people hate cryptos with a company behind them exactly because there's a company behind them. It's a form of centralization which doesn't sit well with cryptocurrencies in general.

I haven't checked out the wallet and the difficulty but usually when there's a new algo the devs already have a gpu miner available. It shouldn't be hard to bolt on a new algo onto a well known algo like scrypt-jane.
2614  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Affordable motherboard for GPU mining? on: December 13, 2015, 11:42:56 PM
I agree about having quality power supplies and one important note is to only buy ones with a single 12v rail. Multi rail PSUs very likely won't work.
And of course enough molex and PCI-E 6/8 pins.

This is what I used

http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=220-P2-1200-X1

I am using the same PSU now in the machine I am posting from over 2 years later, never let me down.

I'm using a couple of the 1300W gold variant (G2) of that PSU in my bigger rigs and love them. Bit pricey but I intend to resell the cards in good condition after it's not profitable to mine with them anymore and the PSUs themselves are pretty good at keeping their resell value and they have a very long warranty.

I can successfully solo mine with sgminer but ccminer is a no go:

[2015-12-12 21:10:59] Empty data received in json_rpc_call.
[2015-12-12 21:10:59] get_work failed, retry after 30 seconds

tried ccminer sp, tpruvot, klaust and djm34: all have the same issue.

commandline:

./ccminer -a ***ALGO**** -o http://192.168.1.2:***PORT*** -u ***USER*** -p ***PASS***

the miner is on a different machine than the wallet, which has:

rpcallowip=192.168.1.0/24

in its joincoin.conf file.

EDIT: making ccminer think it's local (connecting to 127.0.0.1) and using ssh port forward to the machine with the wallet, made it work :-/

That's your issue right there, the config can't take ranges like that. I use 192.168.0.* though some wallets won't take asterisks either in that case I just list the rigs.
2617  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Affordable motherboard for GPU mining? on: December 12, 2015, 09:30:35 PM
You want to look at two motherboards and probably those two only:
ASRock H61 Pro BTC and ASRock H81 Pro BTC.
The main difference between them is the CPU socket.

These motherboards can easily handle 6 cards but you'll need PCI-E risers. I'd highly recommend only using powered USB risers and avoiding ribbon risers at all costs.

If you want a motherboard in which you can put cards without risers you're going to have to reach deep into your pocket and even then you'll probably run into thermal throttling with some beefier cards if they are that close together.

Feel free to ask anything about mining here on in pm.

Thank you mate! You helped me choose a decent motherboard to use for GPU mining. There is a little concern that I have and that is once everything is set up, how do I configure the mining process. In this case, how could I configure CGminer to use all 6 GPUs for example?  Grin

Both windows and linux should recognize the cards without any issues. Though I'm not familiar with cg/sgminer it's probably just a command line argument. But you may want to look into the documentation of the miner because there will be tons of settings you'll have to get familiar with.

Thanks for your reply. I will just take a look at the available commands to get started in this business. It is a very exciting world out there for a miner (at least I think)  Smiley

It is exciting and a great hobby but it's not very profitable anymore. ROI is well over a year for most miners with average electricity costs.

Could it be profitable if I don't need to pay for electricity costs? Let's say I use solar and wind power for all my miners...will it still be profitable? Anyways, I  don't mind since I will only do it for fun.  Grin

It can be profitable with average electricity but with free electricity it's much more profitable. Let's say a 6 card rig with modern GPUs use 1000W. With $0.13 kWh you're going to pay $3.12 a day or $93.6 a month. The cards together would make very roughly about $5-8 a day before electricity. So yeah, electricity matters a lot. These are just wide estimations, maybe someone with AMD cards could chip in.
2618  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Affordable motherboard for GPU mining? on: December 12, 2015, 04:40:15 PM
Always go all powered. 

Yes, you say - all powered risers is overkill and technically not necessary - but the cost diff. between a powered vs. non-powered riser is minimal, so why take the chance with non-powered risers?

This!
2619  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What properties will a successful cryptocurrency be composed of in 5 years? on: December 12, 2015, 04:39:19 PM
Unlimited options would just as well highlight the most popular but also the least popular ones.
The problem is there are multiple options that are connected to each other or built on top of each other and some are not even real properties like high liquidity.

Alright, the people have spoken! Although, I think high liquidity is an important "property" of a cryptocurrency. It is not really usable in any useful sense if it has low liquidity... although it is not really a property (along with having many exchanges, wide merchant adoption, etc..) I still think those are important factors to a successful cryptocurrency. Perhaps I will change the wording of the question to not use the word properties...


I agree, but being a currency high liquidity and wide adoption is practically the main part of success itself - which you can't just develop - caused by the features the list is mainly consist of. Anyway, I shut up now. Good luck.
2620  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What properties will a successful cryptocurrency be composed of in 5 years? on: December 12, 2015, 04:07:58 PM
I chose 5 because the point is to find the most important properties. However, after creating the poll and voting I must say I thought 5 was too little as well. I also didn't want the results to be skewed towards cryptocurrencies that have a lot of features. Unfortunately, pretty much the only thing I can't edit in the poll is the amount of choices users can make. Sad

I guess I can create a new thread and lock this one... how many do you guys think would be fair? 10 votes?
