Correct me if I'm wrong but this does seem centralized, from the whitepaper:

"The Navajocoin wallet talks to the Navajo API and
asks for a random Navajo Magic Gateway (NMG)
send NAV through anonymously."

Code:
socket->connectToHostEncrypted("api.navajocoin.org", 443);

Everything has to go through a single API server. That IS centralized.

I am planning to go long term on this one.

Today I bought 600k for 270 satoshi and dumped it down to 80 satoshi.
Lost about 1 BTC on it.

The coin price will decrease sub 100 in a matter of days/weeks.

Of course it will, crypto have too many impatient people like you.

i mined drk when it was still in its infancy and sold ALL of them when they hit $11 ...

what did i convert them to? ... btc of course ...

why setup another 'standard' when you already have THE standard Wink ...

besides - donors will only back something they THINK they can make money from ... so if thats what 'they' are doing - then it just might be something to continue looking at ...

but for now - not for me ...

#crysx


I was never sold on DRK so I never held onto it. I sold over 1k for around 0.0003 last year february.

I can see why people would prefer linux but I just personally can't swallow it after only using windows forever, nor could I swallow losing all the great tools and apps I've gathered over the years. I've taken a win7 x64 home premium install, disabled everything that can dynamically change it like windows update and most scheduled tasks, disabled unnecessary services, changed some registry keys like TdrDelay, installed all the tools I need and mirrored it to all the rigs and they can run for months without any issues whatsoever.

I think his point is - if you're at the stage before you've wasted all that time, you'll likely be able to set up reliable systems faster and more efficiently with Linux, as well as with better remote access capabilities. SSH is secure, fast, and most importantly, text-only - this means if your display driver takes a shit, you can still reboot, and it doesn't interfere with ADL like RDP does.

You might see it as wasted time, but here's the thing; I can have everything I want in windows. There is not a single thing that I can't achieve in windows that I can achieve in linux. I'm not delusional with the shortcomings of windwos systems but both efficiency, reliability and remote accessibility is just a matter of perception because at the end of the day you can have everything what linux has to offer in windows as well - that is if you don't mind taking the time to set it up. For example, I can use openssh, putty, teamviewer or similar tools to achieve the same things. It's just there are way more tools available for windows.

Well I guess mining with -vote 0 did work. Everyone was advised to use that so the block reward is getting voted down heavily. In the wallet's debug windows setvote <number> works too.

Has anyone found a solution for windows 8.1 to fix the launch config issues with nvidia cards?

eg. launch config for memory allocation needs to be lower in win 8.1 compared to win 7 (no clue why).
sp mentioned the issue as well, afaik.
(eg. crypotnight and scrypt-jane algos lose 10-20% performance).

A launch config of -l t64x1 (scrypt-jane) does work flawlessly on win 7 but you wont be able to start it with win 8.1.

No, linux is not a solution for me Tongue , maybe win 10 works?
Win 7 is not a solution either cuz it sucks for mining burst Wink .

I haven't tried win8 for mining but maybe this explains it, not sure: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/jj552975(v=vs.85).aspx

see - this proves my point exactly ...

to use another application - with all the good intentions and functionality it may have - only to get further into compilation issues and limitations - when all this type info 'should' be built into ccminer itself from the beginning ...

it would be a grand day that ccminer could do all this ITSELF without having external apps to do simplistic things like reasonably good stats output ( yes - once again - like sgminer ) ...

this is not just about aesthetics - its about functionality and stats accessibility ( not just readability ) ...

nice app though ... now to test and see if it compiles and runs under linux ...

#crysx

If I remember correctly then it won't run under linux which is why it wasn't made it into ccminer. I'm perfectly happy with ccminer as it is though.
And don't forget that - however selfish it might sound but - ease of use (be it miners/wallets/pools) is inversely proportional to profitability.
3349  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 10MHASH CCminer modded NVIDIA Maxwell kernals by SP. on: March 20, 2015, 12:48:35 PM
i dont doubt that wolf ... but the stats that sgminer gives is far superior to the rolling list that ccminer provides ...

im NOT saying one is 'better' than the other ... what im stating is that as a user - and owner of a reasonable farm - that the outuput that sgminer provides is HUGELY more informative than ccminer ...

ccminer spits data out as it receives it ... if it had a way of controlling that data and presenting it in an informative way ( yes - like sgminer does ) then ccminer would be in a class of its own ...

id commission that as a project if there were the devs interested in such a thing ...

i understand where YOU are coming from on a technical level ... you - as i am - are technically based and ccminer may have the superior hand there ... but like beta versus vhs and hddvd versus bluray - its all about the presentation and functionality - NOT JUST the technical superiority ...

why couldnt there be a meld of the 'features' of the two miners to make ccminer far more than what it is? ... make ccminer THE standard than just one standard ... make ccminer be able to cater for nvidia AND catalyst? ...

why? ... money and time and interest ... thats why Smiley ...

id like ONE miner to do all that - and id pay for it too ...

#crysx

I'm still using zelante's splitscreen miner interface which looks like this:
https://i.imgur.com/7x0Gu9Q.png

You do however need to recompile ccminer yourself with changing the "kH/s" text output to "khash/s" or do the opposite in splitscreen miner and compile it (I couldn't compile it though) and you need to run ccminer with --no-color.
I also have a setup that shows a screen area of each rig in windows gadgets (example: https://i.imgur.com/e3vCuKX.png) so I can see if a card trips.



On another note, Ethereum is supposed to launch today (new algo, EtHash, supposedly memory-intensive). Is anyone following it? They supposed to provide a GPU miner but I'd guess that's only for AMDs and they might not even have it on launch.
This is supposedly their IPO address: https://blockchain.info/address/36PrZ1KHYMpqSyAQXSG8VwbUiq2EogxLo2 which is pretty crazy.

Pool Operators:  PLEASE do NOT create a pool for this coin. The OP has released 3 coins in the past 2 weeks now and is just cloning and abandoning when they don't go as expected.  Please do not support this nonsense.

There will always be someone creating a pool, its not a problem of the pool ops, its more a problem of/from the miners mining this...

This. And this shows exactly what the altcoin scene has become. There are no gateways, no rules, no authority figures to oversee new coins so anything can go. So now people mine all kinds of shit and dump all the coins they mine as soon as they mine it because they've been burned so many times that they completely lost trust. I think I need to find another hobby.

I'm using gmail, even tried a new gmail address but it's the same. I always get notifications about topic replies and PMs but about 50% of the time I don't get emails about new threads from subscribed boards.
3352  Other / Meta / Missing email notifications on: March 19, 2015, 05:00:00 PM
I'm subscribed to a couple of boards like the altcoin announcements section and have email notifications enabled but for some new threads I don't get notifications at all. I'm not sure if maybe these threads were created somewhere else and have been moved or why but sometimes there are no emails whatsoever (not in spam, etc). I'm using gmail.

For example, I haven't received an email about this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=994869.0 and this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996096.0 while I did receive one about this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996567.0

So why is that?

"Anti-mining rent"

-X11

X11 is the most accessible after sha-256 and scrypt. People just going to rent hash periodically resulting in fluctuating difficulty and block times.

Not that it matters but I wouldn't exactly call Qubit a new algorithm. At least half a dozen coins used this before such as QubitCoin from last year January, Cassubian Dekt, GeoCoin and some multi-algo coins also included it, namely Myriad, Unitus and DigiByte. But the dev made a decent wallet with clean code and pulled off a great launch so who knows what else he will do later down the line.

Why do people think miner dumps is bad? Its part of the ecosystem. Accumulate.

It's not that it's bad it's just that a lot of miners/renters don't know any better so they dump their coins for very little profit as soon as they can instead of holding them for the chance of earning a whole lot more than pennies later.

Guys please don't forget to include "-vote 0" (or the equivalent for your miner) when mining, doing so produces only invalid shares.
If -vote=0 then then next servel block reward will be 0..............

For solomining changing the -vote parameter had no effect to me as far as I could tell, the wallet says my vote is 75 TEC either way. However, in the wallet's debug window I can change that with the setvote command.

Cost of production is about 2000 sat with current nethashps/diff and I'm skeptical that we'll ever see that price even after the pow period.

I think you overpaid.    I Spent  .12 and mined up 97k,   I sold roughly 40k around 340 & ROI'd   I still have 50k   that i'm staking on.


I used nicehash rentals and just monitored the network hash,   When network was above 20GH/s i just thottled my power down to 100mh/s   when it was under 15 i would juice it up to 2ghs.    worked wonderfully

I didn't rent but I miscalculated by a large margin (used old blockreward figures) and I was looking at miningrigrentals prices. Now with nicehash prices the cost of mining a single coin is about 461 satoshi (77ghs/1808 diff).

We have been extremely busy and surprised by the feedback. Guys we are working hard over here. Please check cleverhash.com for the news updates. Boomcoin is long-term and we plan on doing some great things but true development takes resources which we are attempting to secure! Unfortunately the process is slow as it takes time (out of our control). If you would like to donate directly to various aspects of development, for example, to a logo redesign company or a Boom eCommerce developer site ect, let us know.

If your looking for market appreciation than you will need to hire advanced programmers for cutting edge features for real world uses and applications. That is the expensive part. If your a programmer that specializes in P2P decentralization and can donate time to the project than post in this forum what you can do for Boom. If we have to go it alone than the process will take longer or at-least until we receive funding to pay for those types of developments.

You can't manage a coin if you disappear for weeks. I haven't sold my stack and I'm not going to begin now as I haven't lost hope for this coin. In fact, the current prices could potentially yield pretty big profits in case the price recovers and seeing how long it held it's price before it crashed I think it's possible that it can get back there. And if it can get back there there's no reason it can't reach a new ATH if and when BOOM gets more features and utility. I've sent 20k BOOM to the developer address.
