a great smile to egypt, i had a flat there and used to live in Dahab during winter for about 3 years
I love your country and I am happy to see a coin emerging from there (count me in)

.

dead or not, I am currendly having great fun mining it by just using the wallet. It makes about 15 Texas per hour. And taking accout, that I have always 6 or more peer connections, wich is unusual for such a low networkhashrate, i would assume, that I am not the only one. Because this is a great opportunity for beginners to experience some kind of "retro-bitcoin-feeling" i will now give a short description on how to do it and ask the "pro's" to restrict themself not to instamine this one (for now it has zero value anyway). I am sure our market would highly benefit, having more newbie-opportunitis like that.

here it goes (I tryed to take in account all things that could go wrong for a newbie and hope its bulletproof):

1) install the walletsoftware
2) start it and then close it again
3) go to the datadirectory (on Windows something like /user/yourname/APPdata .../texascoin )
4) create a textfile in that directory named texascoin.conf
5) put following into the textflile:


6) open the wallet again an wait untill it (important) finished syncing (see on the right bottom corner)
7) close the wallet and open the textfile again
change gen=0 to gen=1
9) open the wallet again and encrypt it via the settings menu (the wallet will have to restart) choosing YOUR-ENCRYPTION-PASSWORD
10) go to "help" and open the debugwindow, then choose the "Konsole" tab
11) now enter "walletpassphrase YOUR-ENCRYPTION-PASSWORD 999999" and press enter
10) now enter "setgenerate true -1"
11) after a minute control your success by typing getmininginfo
12) if you type "help" you get a bunch of funny commands to play around with

have fun  
if you have questions, ask here, I am monitoring the thread
(@DEV guess who's job I am doing here)

everybody else (blogger, writer, boardmembers ... ): spread this article outside the Crypto Community, so that new users can try this

yes, maybe chatcoin is to limiting, Jasper sounds great :-)

Every coin who is willing to contribute the amound, we need in the crowdfunding and who meets the requirements (see announcement), will be able to join. We will not judge any coin, their community will do that. The limit of 10 coins however, is just to keep the first implementation of our software save to handle and to collect experiences on a manageble scale  (and as a side effect, we are able to give the contributing coins some first mover avantage, which they surely deserve). In the long run, we like to provide market access to as many coins as possible (though "possible" is a notion, wich has still to be defined by our and our partners experiences). As some potential partners already experienced we are aproaching them steady, but carefully step by step, because once choosen we will stay with them and will feel resposible for their success.

The crash at the beginning (first run) is a quite normal experience and not permanent.
But sometimes it keeps crashing if a not properly detached database or even parts of it are still in the data folder.

Try this, wich is the savest way:

1) backup your datafolder make shure to have a save copy of your wallet.dat
2) uninstall the current mmxiv2 wallet
3) delete the remaining datafolder
4) install the newest version
5) start it and watch it crashing
6) before next run enshure (via taskmanager) that it is not still running as a gostprocess
7) start it again (it should get staple on the second/third run) and wait for any connection
close the client again and replace the wallet.dat with your backed up copy (ONLY the wallet.dat, not any other datafile)
9) start the wallet again and .... good luck :-)

Hm, I not shure Texas would be THAT proud of you 

I really can't complain about the swap. Shure, you will always be able to find someone, who handled this and that more or less sophisticated. But ask yourself: What do you really want?
A wallet and coin that never updates and dies? Everywhere around us are threads full with scamcoins, disappering maintainers and chinese copycats. Here you have somebody who stands by his creation and risks really everything. When things went  wrong there was always a honest aproach to fix them. So what  do you need, to give a coin your REAL support? If you know better how to do it, help him. Why should a coin stand by his community, if the community does not stand by its coin?

what about chatcoin because of the chatfunktion

I was late to. I sent him a PM with the passsword and i sent him  my wallet.dat  per mail.
After three days the coins showed up in  my new wallet and the amound was even a bit more than i sent him.
Really great!

A word to the staking issue:
To have peace in mind open the  debugwindow and type "getinfo"
there you can see the coins staking, and can be shure that  it is only a
matter of display, the  process is working

This is NOT english, written by any european (regardleöss of natve and not native english speaking areas) this is CHINESE english.
Its much better than usualy and soner or later you will get us,  thats where the world is heading today, but not for now, keep trying ;-)

SCAM is our best stress test. It makes us strong enough, to challenge real markets out there ...

thank you suchpool for switching my miner perfectly, you are always amazing :-)

Cloakćoin is really one of the most active and inovative Altcoins, I like it. If you like to see it on our ATMs, Tell the DEV about our Project.
We would be happy to answer his questions and be honored, to welcome him on our ATMs

Good question
We are working with developers, which have the required skills for developing this kind of software (in fact most of the components are already done), but we have also talked to Genesis and we are currendly evaluating, how to achive our goals, by involving their team into our idea, because Gensis has always been a relaible partner for us

Hy, how do  you like me to send my wallet.dat? Any email prefered? I just returned home and have been away for about a week.
P.S. You still have our P.M.'s  about the ATM Contracting, please contact Gideon (or if you have questions i am always here for you)

Matthias

I really find the approach of not going into exchanges for a first periode of time quite nice. What was the advantage for those coins, that went pumped and dumped before they could have been emerging with  some adoption or features. I am not shure how this will play out, but it is better than no new approach to that problem. I am looking forward to find out.
@DEV: If you are really having a plan, keep going ;-)

Yes found your mail, thank you for your interest, I will take care of your questions.

Great Announcement!
I think we are pulling on the same end of the rope (wich is great)
Maybe we will have recourses to share. How shall I contact you (PM or via your website)

 Yes there are constandly things going on, with those, who got in touch us. We just have to be carefull with our communication in public (not every company loves our Idea), thats, why you will not expect finding any "updates" here. But you are welcome to ask anytime any question, even if you are not in  business with us, just send me a PM. We are open to every conversation with any crypto enthusiast,  :-)

Consider this (just an idea, i have in my mind). We may concider to play to each others coins as bad as we can. (Note: I would not do so and trample the hard work of a dev, who doesn't share this opinon). In fact we should try to harm our coins as much as we can, because how can we expect from our cryptos to survive or even better to challenge institutions like a Central Bank, if they don't even survive our traders community. We don't lag on friendly people, we lag on enough  recouces to test our innovations against the opposite of friendly people. So I am a big Fan of all those FUDSTERS, if their FUD is entertaining enough. Why I am writing that? Because while researching about SaltX and about, whos behind that, i found utclovers comments mostly being quite reasonable and on top of thar I found him being one of the most honest supporters of your CINNI . I assume, that misunderstanding their greatest supporters, may be one  of the most popular Coindevs mistake. @utclover  I am shure the thread around your Coin will be fun to read while mining this thingy. Do you have any more plans with this project? 

@mmxiv ATM Contracting enters the hot phase now, please check your PMs.
Time for a Skype Meeting, Gideon is awaiting you,. we will be able to talk from 19.00 UTC+1 today and tomorrow.
