After the difficulty has lowered again from ~12 to ~4.5, it is a good time to mine MOON now.

So miners, check out the Mooncoin-pools:

AikaPool
cryptopool.nl
Hollandsemultipool.nl
iSpace
P2Pool-nodes
Multipool.us

Have you already tried the fabulous buy-/sell-simulation on mooncoin.rocks?

  --> http://mooncoin.rocks/buysell-simulation

Based on the current exchange-rate on Cryptsy, it tells you, what you would have to pay for a specific amount of MOON or what you would get, if you sold now.

Check the hashrate (~550 MH/sec.) and difficulty (11.5) at the moment.

A big part of the hashrate is here: http://ispace.co.uk/coindetails/?coin=moon

If you'd like to mine MOON, here are the available pools:

Could you check your settings for Mooncoin?
https://www.cryptocoincharts.info/coins/show/moon

Seems as if it is still pointing to the long gone old blockexplorer moonchain.info ?
The current one can be found here: www.moonchain.net

I've just added MOON to our poolserver:

http://cryptopool.nl


Hi Spekske,

nice to have you back with a Mooncoin-pool. That one is now MPOS ( https://github.com/MPOS/php-mpos ), right? Didn't you also experiment with a NOMP-pool ( https://github.com/zone117x/node-open-mining-portal/ ) at some point?

Added to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=389403.msg9456299#msg9456299
Indeed Smiley I'm using NOMP as stratum linked to MPOS for now, that combo is working out very nicely. I'll be setting up a blockexplorer too as soon as there is some time.....

Cool. Check these two blockexplorers, too:
www.moonchain.net
www.multifaucet.tk/index.php?blockexplorer=MOON

And have you already seen the Moon Market - payment gateway: http://mooncoin.com/market.php ?

Edit:
And see here: https://coingateway.net/index.php (that's what the above Moon Market is based on)
Quote from there: "We also support a multi Crypto exchange platform where you can cross trade any coin listed in the options. Just click the "Exchange" tab below!"
So you can also exchange Mooncoins directly into other cryptocurrencies or buy some MOON there.

Edit:
If someone is looking for addnodes to make his/her wallet connect, check that posting also. That part was updated, too.

How to add them:
In the wallet click "Help" then "Debug window", then "Console" and then enter the following

Code:
addnode address-of-node add

Replace address-of-node with the actual IP-address or domainname from the list in the above posting. Like

Code:
addnode moonchain.net add

or

Code:
addnode 188.165.254.191 add

You can always look for current online addnodes here: http://www.multifaucet.tk/index.php?blockexplorer=MOON&network_info

Price will go down & down

The moon is falling to Earth Cheesy


but then up and up towards btc market  Grin

In astrophysics there is a theory that if the Moon ever would fall to the Earth after that they both would fall to the Sun.

 Wink

But the more realistic theory is that the Moon is going further and further away and as it leaves the Earth, Earth will start to wobble because it lost its stability-partner and possibly all life on Earth becomes extinct because there will be no more "correct" rotation without the seasons and "correct" temperature and no more tides to keep the seas in "correct" working order --> http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-12311119. And in the end both, Moon and Earth together will be swallowed by the Sun (in form of a red giant --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_giant).

Edit: Maybe mankind can survive, if we manage to stand temperatures of about 200 °C: http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2007/sep/12/earth-could-survive-a-red-giant-sun  Shocked

You must not always look at the Current Price of  a mining coin but at it can bring for the future.

Mooncoin had periods of absurd low network hashrate, at those moments mining is well spent.

Look at lottocoin, there where moments i had 70% of the network hashrate, and look the last week what lottocoin has gone $$for.



Wisely said. But obviously most miners only want quick profit.

I had my moon on swisscex and can't seem to get them back now they are closed. Has anyone got their moon coins back off swisscex since the website went offline?

Swisscex sent email with private key ...

How import private key?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=389403.9400

Hi,

I also got my privat key and therefore I trie to download a wallet.

Is there an other possibillity to get to the coins?

I don't know of any solution to get the coins of a private key back than to import into a wallet - at least for Mooncoin.
If you manage to import, please make sure to send the coins of the imported private key as soon as possible to a newly created address, since the imported private key has to be considered unsafe (because it was sent over the internet via eMail). You could try to import to a paper wallet, but as you cannot send the coins to a new address without an online-wallet, they would remain unsafe on that wallet until you import the key into an online-wallet, in order to send them to a safe address.

can i ask if it good to mine ths coin moon coin with a pool and a gpu in order to have a few coins and see if it porfitabel in cloud services they say scrypt its porfitable but this direct mining in a pool might be i have 300 watts GPU hd7850

If you don't have free electricity at hand, it is unprofitable to mine any coin with GPU's nowadays - at least if you want to sell them immediately (edit: except for maybe some exotic coins based on X11, X12, X13 and the like, but that depends only on their selling price, which might fluctuate drastically; you'd need to calculate yourself). If you'd rather like to keep them (in order to sell them much later), it might get you some profit eventually - if and when the price rises massively and with it the difficulty to mine new coins. Even with ASICs it is only profitable, if you have very, very cheap electricity and/or don't sell immediately and wait for a higher price afterwards.

Hello Coinflow,

Thank you for your offer to help..  Wink

I get the following message:
The file ... is not a valid Windows32 application

I translated it from German.

Hi ZorroPai,

which wallet did you try to install? Seems, that you downloaded the Mac-version?
Please check again and choose the windows-wallet: http://mooncoin.rocks/wallet-download

There are three different versions:
1. the uncompressed exe-installation-file
2. 7z-file. This is a compressed one (like zip, but Open Source-compression). To open and extract, you would need to install 7z first: http://7-zip.org
3. same as above but self-extracting 7z

Please also check the checksums of the exe-file, in order to make sure, that you have the original one and it has not been damaged during downloading and/or extracting. They would need to look like this:

CRC-32: 63f8b21c
MD4: 5a0fb654c0f45a5584ebd727e1b8a7e5
MD5: edc341b411f2e138850827cc13570ea1
SHA-1: f04fc5dde039af945fd70386066fdb5a75464480

In order to get those checksums, you can use this free checksum-tool: http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck

Please let us know, how you proceed.

Hello,

I just downloaded the moon wallte from mooncoin.com.

I can not start the program, it says not to be compatible with windows 32.

Can you help?

Announcement:

Mooncoin Foundation was created by volunteers with a purpose to help developers and to support Mooncoin.
If you want to join us or to share your ideas on how we all can help and support Mooncoin development, please PM, or leave your comments.


Hello Mooncoin!

I'd like to join the Mooncoin Foundation!

1) I can offer deterministic Gitian builds for the Mooncoin wallet to improve wallet security and trust.
2) I can also support the wallet development with unique features like advanced checkpointing (ACP) that is now available for the 0.9.x wallet series.

Titan

What is Advanced Checkpointing?
Advanced Checkpointing allows us to send out checkpoints without having to redistribute the Feathercoin software. This works by having a 'master node' which checkpoints each block it sees on the network protecting it from the attacker. This checkpoint is then picked up by all the other clients on the network which will then ignore any blocks generated by a 51% attack. This protects merchants from transaction reversal and miners from losing their newly minted coins. With Advanced Checkpointing, Feathercoin becomes the most secure of all the Scrypt cryptographic currencies.

is this it?

http://www.coindesk.com/feathercoin-secures-block-chain-advanced-check-pointing/
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/6263/feathercoin-interview-with-peter-bushnell/ (see below in the interview, where they cover ACP)

One thing to keep in mind: using one central node as the reference for the checkpoints is the opposite of decentralization.
Maybe we should develop a better system to overcome 51% attacks? I'm still wondering, whether it would be a good idea to change from mining to staking in that regard (also if you think about protecting the environment, as mining pulls a lot of electricity)? What do you all here think about that? Any other ideas?

Hello Mooncoin!

There are a couple comments in place regarding ACP.

1) First of all ACP originates form Peercoin, the original proof of stake (POS) coin.
Thus every POS coin has ACP built in! Not every POS coin has the master node set up.

2) Feathercoin ported the ACP code from Peercoin to work with POW after the network suffered a severe attack.
Shortly thereafter I integrated the ACP code into the Luckycoin wallet with permission form Sunnyking.
The system is now working for nearly 2 years without failure.
While the Luckycoin certainly got its fair share of sometimes quite sophisticated attacks.

3) The Bitcoin 0.9.x wallet code completely broke the ACP internals due to a redesign of the internal block chain handling code.
That's the reason why Feathercoin hasn't updated their wallet.

4) The new ACP code is now a complete redesign to work with the Bitcoin 0.9.x series code base.
It took quite some time to figure everything out.

5) ACP features:
Accepting checkpoints is optional.
Every wallet can opt out from the checkpointing system.
ACP is driven by a single master node that decides on the checkpoints.
Every wallet is capable of being a master node with the right key.
It is a centralized authority that locks down the block chain.
In the same way are the hard checkpoints in the wallet issued by the developer centralized.
ACP blocks many types of attacks due to the fact that the block chain cannot be rewritten beyond a few blocks back.
Typically the checkpoint window is only a few minutes, after that no transaction can be changed.
With only hard checkpoints the whole block chain history back to the last hard checkpoint can be rewritten with enough hash power.

Food for thought.

Titan





That's good information. Thanks, Titan.

So the best would be to have some (master) nodes that are picked randomly to set the checkpoint every few minutes/blocks, if you use ACP? Is that possible, too?

It is only safe to have a single checkpoint master node due to the consistency requirement for the checkpoints.
The handover from one checkpoint master node to another is a delicate process. Two different forks could receive a checkpoint if one is not careful. If such an inconsistency is detected ACP puts the whole network in safe mode.

Generally the master node has to be reliable and well protected. Even in the case of a failure of the master node another node can be configured to take over the job. The network still works normally even without receiving new checkpoints.




Hhmm. A "master-node" seems to be a possible single point of failure. OK, the fallback to another node to become a master-node and possible fallback to the "simple-mode" (without ACP at all in case the backup-node also fails), could help. But how is that handled automatically by the network? Can it be handled automatically at all?

What about to place checkpoints into the blockchain of other coins by working together with them? Would that be possible?
Maybe that would be a cool idea. That way the different coins can "control" each other, making it very difficult to attack a single coin that is part of the whole network of "collaborating" coins.

Server uptime is not really a problem in this day and age. From my experience a well configured server can run for months without touching it.
The ACP handover must be done manually to ensure no inconsistent checkpoints are generated.

The checkpoint is a block hash. To be valid it must be a block hash of the current chain. So cross checkpointing another coin is not possible without the proper block chain information.


For the main part, I did not mean the server-uptime as the most problematic thing, regarding a single point of failure, but the possibility of someone hacking that machine or DDOS-attacks blocking it and keeping it from its functionality. And if a manual intervention is necessary in case of failure, what if the one responsible for that is on holiday and cannot be reached?
