3221  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Catcoin - Scrypt meow! on: January 13, 2014, 09:08:35 AM
So I finished working on the CAT faucet only to learn that it's having some bad time. Anyway I hope cat will make through it and continue the journey to the moon. And not because I hold many CAT (I actually have 0), but because I love cats and have put effort into creating a website.

So smart guys, please, resolve the issue and bring back the good old CAT. I have some cool ideas, which I want to put on websites soon Smiley

P.S. The faucet is here: http://www.moonrace.tk

You seriously need to create a thread for this. Cat vs Doge to the Moon  Cheesy

Well, it should come as no surprise that the price has come down after recent heavy discussions. It's not a dramatic drop though, and most of the drops recently have been market confidence. I hope that it will come back up.

We have to remember that the coin is still only has 21 million total supply, and the difficulty will adjust to reflect the hashrate and market. I think Catcoin has the potential to bounce hard if the difficulty drops too low. Influx of coins would flood the market, and I would hope that we would get price competition going up, rather than going down. People know Catcoin used to fetch a high price.

I don't think right now we can expect Cat to just steadily raise in value. I think we may have to just let this happen. The coin's specs are no different than a few others I've seen. It's this thread that's had more of an impact than anything else. The truth is, we don't know what will happen if the hashrate drops very low on a coin with only 21 million total supply. Unless someone has any examples.

Leaving the coin as it is, right now, is far less risky than another fork. We can't fix this. Not right now. Attempting to seriously risks killing the coin. The exchanges would only accept one, or neither. Not both. Logically, the least risky thing to do is to leave the coin as it is. Things get too excited in here. We're trying to analyse a market that we're actually influencing. We're biasing our own results. No matter how smartly we think about this, we're basically changing the measurement as we measure it. Any conclusion we come to therefore is immediately tainted, and therefore unreliable.

People have a lot invested in Cat. Serious money. I'm sorry, but we cannot so cavalier about this. Unless you have thousands of pounds/dollar invested in Catcoin, then you can't possibly understand the ramifications your actions may have. If the coin fails, it fails. But let it be on investor's heads. Not on yours. The coin is either going to crash or it's going to soar, and right now we are doing more harm than good by trying to change it again.

The coin needs time. At least give it a few weeks. We need to get back to promoting the coin. We've lost sight of that.

Is this temporary, then? from what I understand, it switches from PoW->PoS, PoS->PoW, doesn't it?

So once the PoS phase is over, we'll be back in PoW phase?

Maybe bosian can explain better how the difficulty will shift now.

My PC just fucked up and for whatever reason it deleted all my coin wallets and bat files for my miner. My wallet.dat files are still in their %appdata% folders. If I redownload the wallets is it going to copy over my coins? I am new at this and I really don't want to lose all my coins. I have been mining Klondike since it was released and I'll be pretty pissed if I lose those, and all my other coins I have.

You should be fine. It shouldn't replace the wallet.dat, but make a copy just in case.

Glad to help. Yep, you're detecting blocks, so you are solo mining. A bit of luck involved, but it's more of a probability based on the current coin difficulty and your hashpower. For me it takes a few hours on 900mhash/sec. Give it time to see if it is more profitable for you than pool mining.


Thank you very much your the best no one wanted to share this info not even damn google, i have one more question if you dont mine i run the cgminer and all it says is New block detected on Network and Network diff set to 1, am should i get like when you mining to a pool accepted? or just wait an pray to get luky and find a block myself?   thanks in advance...
Do you mine how you setup to mine solo?

I switched to solo mine overnight to try my luck since I was finding a few blocks on the pool and was about breaking even in there.

2 orphans and 1 accepted block say that I will keep solo mining for a little while (more so now that the diff is going to lower on next retarget, unless RPC retargets first  Wink)

Create file in that folder. Restart wallet. Keep wallet open.

cgminer-3.7.2-windows:

These are my settings for an R9 280x.

If you have an Nvidia card, you need CUDAminer;

cudaminer -O 127.0.0.1:7921 -O username:password -l K7x32 -i 0 -H 1

These are my settings for a Nvidia GTX 670 Phantom.

Then just run the bat file and you should be good to go. You may need different settings depending on what cards you have. You'll have to do some googling or forum searching, or just go here;

There's also detailed instructions in the OP.

Bit the bullet and bought in with the rest of my nut at 9-12 satoshi an hour or so ago.



I think it was a good call, but obviously it's early days. I'm happy with my investment, and I can't wait until I see the first PoS come through.

It would seem that way…I could get out right now and double my money.  Big buy order at 18…nearest sell wall at 50.  I'm holding though.  It took days to accumulate what I have now at a good price…and I think that GRA is undervalued at 20 satoshi.

What kind of interest does the PoS pay?  And is it really interest, or is it a type of mined coin that comes out of the total?



5% I think. You get grain. Think of it like compound interest.

Thanks for the tips. I switched to the beta and no joy.

I then hooked up my monitor directly to it instead of the GTX670 and it works.  now So it looks like an issue with the dummy plug I am using (made my own based on overclock instructions).  Unfortunately, I have no idea how to tell if the dummy plug is properly being detected and works as I am able to mine on the R9 regardless of whether its hooked up to a dummy/monitor.

I have the exact same issues you have. I didn't consider it could be the plug. I just have a spare DVI cable plugged into my second card, but I don't get any temperature readings in GPU-Z, and I can't change any settings in MSI Afterburner. I have an XFX R9 280x, but seem to have the exact same problem as you.

Someone linked this in another thread, I'm going to try and build one; http://www.overclock.net/t/384733/the-30-second-dummy-plug
3231  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: watching 1080p videos while GPU mining on: January 13, 2014, 01:43:18 AM
What is a dummy plug?
Do you mean, I have to put a cable into my graphics card, but in no monitor? And my TV into the mainboards HDMI port?

@Reckman
This could happen :/ I'm  not sure, but I think I heard/read about people with the same board having these problems too.

Here's a link on how to setup a dummy plug: http://www.overclock.net/t/384733/the-30-second-dummy-plug

Good Luck!

Is this any different from just plugging in a spare DVI cable into your second GPU? That's what I did..

Hi! I know I've already spoke about it, but I'd still be super grateful if people could invest at https://coin-horse.com/PRT/ !

Until more people invest the max profit people can make is less than 3000 PRT.
I also don't want to be holding 80% of the bankroll so please invest and get other people using this site!

I have a small investment stored there, but I'd be worried about storing all of my coins there, should anything go wrong. I may increase my investment in the coming days.

An alternate "coin" form logo for those possessing dissatisfied of our bold original:



I think the coin should look more digital and bold to greater emphasis the name particle.

Take this for example; http://vimeo.com/44083487

Using that sort of effect for the outside of the coin, someone with good photoshop skills could create a coin using particle-style effects that would look amazing.

The "P" Would also have this particle effect, perhaps in a different colour to stand out. If you can picture that, then that's how the coin would look awesome.

I actually like this idea a lot. I don't really see the need to make it look like a physical coin. Perhaps it does need to for the more mainstream audience. However I still think the particle effect would be cool if done right.
Agree too.  Not really like the "coin" form.  Digital particle type effect...yeah, cool!  How to make.  Maybe can find something to work from like:


http://graphicriver.net/item/pixelart-logo/5637183?WT.ac=solid_search_thumb&WT.seg_1=solid_search_thumb&WT.z_author=msl99

or


http://graphicriver.net/item/pixel-built-logo/4079576?WT.ac=solid_search_thumb&WT.seg_1=solid_search_thumb&WT.z_author=Depmod



I like the first one. It looks so much better than the current logo. Nice clean design. Professional. Would work very well on the right coin design. If someone could make the rim of the coin out of those same shapes, with a black coin background, it would look awesome. So it has a coin-like shape, but it's really unique looking and stylish.

Do you visit DeviantArt? I bet you could commission someone to do it. Or host a competition on the forum for a prize of Particle using that first image. Best design wins.

Not all coingen coins have stupid names. I want to avoid all coingen coins.

I like the idea of coloured denominations. Believe it or not, I was thinking of something very similar this morning. Not with colours, but by rating each denomination by a precious metal; tin, copper, iron, silver, gold, so on. It probably does make more sense using colours as they're an abstract and so their value is determined by association rather than preconceptions. With different dominations I feel like it's a way for everyone to get in at their own level. I think this concept could be very powerful in providing variance in any sort of market-based system. I'm sure there will also be a desire to trade in lower dominations for higher denominations and as such a natural consequence will be higher denominations would be seen to be more valuable than the sum of lower denominations they're made from. Purely from perception, at least.


This.

It makes much more sense to make use of preconceptions. When building something new you need to have some base people already understand. It would avoid confusion and lead to a much better adoption of your currency.
+ it would sound much more serious which I think it's very good in this case. You don't need the rainbow..hmm.

EDIT:

You don't need the rainbow..hmm.
I was thinking you can use the basic spectrum of the rainbow for color coding, from the most valuable coin to the least valuable. That way you'll have your system already structured (and based on a known order).



+1

Good idea. I'm not sure how many people know the wavelength colour spectrum from memory, but using a colour system that already exists is a good idea, and it's very easy to remember the scale.

Interesting.  Am I right in thinking that the PoS feature will tend to make people keep their GRA in a wallet rather than on an exchange?  If so…this will make holding GRA more appealing than dumping it.  That could be why there is relatively little GRA for sale on the exchanges (and what is for sale at the current 'good' price seems to be snapped up fast).  

That's the idea, yes. It becomes more valuable to hold and gain interest and wait for the price to go up, than to dump it onto an exchange. So the small PoS acts like a market stabiliser.

Edit: Now at 15 Satoshis on coinedup. Going up up up.
