For some reason, there isn't a lot of Scrypt ASIC support here.  I think at least some of the small miners like Gridseed Orbs should be supported to help get the currency more accepted.  It's easy enough to hook one up, but when you start using several with the same computer and so on it gets more complicated.

It's very time consuming for newbies to figure some things out for themselves.  I'll keep my eye on these questions to see if I can help so I can give back, but I've only been doing this about four months.

Anyone know why the site is getting unsafe warnings in Chrome and Firefox?

or where I can get a current version for Windows?

I am having problems with my Zeusminer x2 scrypt ASIC miner 28 mhz.  Same thing it seems, sometimes just plugging it in and out worked, or had to reinstall UART to USB, then Zadig. But now trying on two computers it's not accepting.  I don't mind becoming a WinUSB guru, but it seems the learning curve is slow because it's just a slog of information and not many people able to give tech advice to connect the dots.  Should I be editing registry now that it's failed?

Why the random workings and not-working? What is kicking it out?  Nothing in computers needs to be seen as random. Something is effecting the state of the machine.

I have tried to get it to work on the 2nd computer but not for very long.  I just saw it wasn't registering in Zadig after I installed UART to USB.  Zadig shows nothing but a webcam driver (which I never used and it has a built in one) and thought maybe it's the miner that's broken.
3364  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / ZeusMiner not registering on either computer on: January 02, 2017, 12:40:33 AM
I am unable to get a Zeusminer ASIC 27 MHS to register and run cgminer.  The Zadig program isn't seeing the UART to USB driver in either machine I try it on.  It was working fine for about two weeks but this morning isn't working.  The fan is running, the lights are on inside, but for some reason cannot connect.

Here are some additional notes posted elsewhere here where a user was having a ASIC problem also.

I don't want to harp on this.. it won't do any good anyway.
All i can think here is if there is a large premine ?
It WILL catch up with you and bite you in the ass.
People will forever dredge it up and rail on about it again and again for years to come.

The sensible thing for the guys behind the coin to do would be..
Start working on that "Ledger" ASAP !

And keep it real !
People can tolerate a whole lot of bad if it is delivered honestly.
Vs people scheming to hide things and BS etc.
So..
If the dev took a chunk of the premine and spent it on coke & hookers ?
Admit it !
Come clean and then from that point on be honest.
The worst thing any dev can do in crypto is drag shit on for years playing games lying and making poor excuses for blatant behavior.

That applies obviously to any coin project.
I am not really for or against this coin in question.
Just trying to offer some insight and advice to PREVENT drama.
I am not posting this to START drama..

Good luck guys (which ever side your on in the battle)  Cheesy

Good luck trying to get thieves to own up to their thievery.  They can color it anyway they want ... premine ... ico ... its outright thievery yet they still manage to pull in the suckers.

A lot could change if people would guit buying into this shit and boycott the scammy past, present, and future scammers.

Was this thread created to warn scammers not to buy in?


No, if you read my posts, I am not against Gulden, nor is "how do" in the title meant to be sound like it was all preposterous.
I am interested in the idea of value creation, which seems like quite a real thing to me.  If you just read what I wrote it should
be more clear.

I wrote these about 8 years ago but you can see the same line of thought:

11) Many new jobs only need be responsible for creating value, because a system of barter has already worked in many economies. Think of senior homes/low income home improvements. Seniors could help with baby sitting as younger parents could help with home repair.

14) We should be focusing on "creating value" not only "earning money." For example, imagine digging up some of one's lawn area and preparing the area for a nut and fruit tree orchards and other gardening area. This will create a substantial amount of "wealth" each year for one's household without having to bring in more money to buy things. There are many such improvements one can make and even invent for other people. There are low income but ready now electric car conversions that people have done for virtually every make of car.

I think it's great how people can create a currency based on group involvement and hard work and have it be worth something for people
that aren't getting ahead in the current economic climate.

Maybe an altcoin like Litecoin is like a currency in a country.  The currencies of countries are nothing special, they are no different from one another.  It's the people that are holding the currency that make it special.  It's what the bagholders do with LTC that will determine it's value.

Conducts due diligence on coins and otherwise.

Feel freem to email if you want to: alex@icocountdown.com

Does due diligence go out the window for cash advance though that's the question.

I suspect I know the answer.

@OP and others, don't rely on others! Always do your own and stop being lazy asses or you deserve to lose your money.

I agree.  I am even for keeping money in wallets and not in places like coinbase.  That was the whole point of BTC. 

One new person I suspected of possibly not being legit I checked out his post history here on his newish account, turns out he mentioned another couple domains he owns.  The new domain he is promoting didn't have hardly any personal info, but the old ones did in a WhoIs.  But he still seems anonymous, and doesn't seem to have any other accounts like LinkdIn.  He has created something that has generated a lot of money in BTC for him but the backdrop seems like thin air to me.

This might be a similar problem that you see with real estate corporations that are so wealthy they do not care that buildings are vacant.
They won't lower the rent, causing a precedent so that there is more completion and creativity.  Bagholders of litecoin need to empower someone with a grant to create a marketplace, someone who needs the value of the LTC to go up in value.  I think digital marketplaces are the best for this because the cost of goods sold is virtually zero, but the value and demand is. 
3369  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Due Diligence and Altcoins on: December 30, 2016, 07:18:14 PM
I am wondering if there is any website that does due diligence with altcoins.  I know this site has bits of it here and there but it would be GREAT if there was a centralized hub of it.

3370  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is Gambling Like Investing on: December 30, 2016, 06:34:03 PM
I do some buy and sell in rare books and I recently found a signed copy of a certain "famous" modern gambler.  I couldn't sell it for about six months to a year, even at $5.95.....finally sold at that price.  It had a long personally written note in it.  Goes to show a lot of the hype about modern superstar gamblers is just about the money they made, a very temporary fleeting fame.

My tone is just general information seeking.  I wasn't being sarcastic in it.  I would like Gulden to succeed, even more, I would like to get some o that premine   Grin
3372  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do people buy from a 170 Million premined coin? on: December 28, 2016, 03:15:43 PM
It's a good coin to mine with scrypt miners too.  I tried mining GAME and wasn't getting very much.  Mining Gulden is quicker.
3373  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do people buy from a 170 Million premined coin? on: December 28, 2016, 05:19:25 AM
If it is worth 2 cents US then to buy a music CD is maybe 500 gulden, then that 500 gulden buys something at a certain amount of stores.    I am surprised one Gulden got to 2 cents, that's pretty good. 
3374  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / How do people buy from a 170 Million premined coin? on: December 28, 2016, 03:30:34 AM

I am reading about a premine of Gulden at:

"170,000,000 (Used for giveaways! Trustworthy DEVs and good community.)"

and also about how people are currently using Gulden today to buy things.  Are people using
the equivalent Euro or USD amount for Gulden to buy these items?

Site is barely loading at anywhere near functional speeds right now. 

Just loaded 100 times at average <1s - are you having any other website loading issues?

No, I wasn't, but I noticed there were about 12 spawns of Chrome in my task manager.
3376  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN]CureCoin - Protein Folding Research based Proof of Work on: December 28, 2016, 02:10:31 AM
So, when you mine this with an ASIC, it does the same useful folding as with the other methods?

It's sad you can't make it somewhat profitable with an Antminer S1 or S3 because there are so many
out there.

Would it be a good idea for a philanthropist with $10,000 to spare to throw it at Curecoin making it
more valuable to mine?  Maybe put that instead into development in a digital Curecoin mall where people can donate
digital products and have them bought with Curecoin, making the currency more valuable.

Take a look at your TOP or monitor -- you'll see that the 2GIVE wallet uses almost no CPU when there is nothing to mine.

The 6.1 release is a couple days away -- a small release to fix the BALANCE lookup issue.  Proof of Giving is in progress.

And a LOT of other things going on.

Merry Xmas everyone!

-dvd



Thanks for the helpful and thoughtful post.  So, having this up taking up some CPU  is not just for the lottery aspect, and it's
really vital for the health of the coin?  It would be good if the wallet wasn't doing solo mining unless the chances of it hitting
blocks was high.  From what I read you are saying there is a percentage distributed to the wallets for everyone who keeps
the wallet online with that feature selected. 

I don't understand where: "Just setgenerate=1" is.  It's amazing how technical people keep it at in coins that are supposed
to get mass adaptation.  I'm a C++/Java programmer with an English BA so it's a challenge to have to run into this everywhere
I go.

Merry Christmas and in the good feelings of the season but anyone knows this about CPU usage.  You didn't address my questions.
Wallet has been going 24 hours now with no indication of anything happening and the switch has been set to "mine."

3379  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [2GIVE] / Release Candidate Six (RC6) has been released Win + Mac on: December 25, 2016, 12:30:31 AM
the pool coin???

There is no pool mining of 2GIVE as there is no advantage to it and the wallet doesn't really support it.

You wallet is fully capable of mining on it's own.  Just setgenerate=1

-dvd

What is this referring to?  Is the compiled wallet that one downloads able to be run with that switch?  If so, how?
When I select "Compete for block reward by mining (POS)" there are no specs that show up in the miner
that it's doing anything. 
  PoW for 2Give isn't quite the same as normal PoW (no waste of energy), more like a master node type random PoW & everyone with the application online has a chance to earn the PoW reward. The longest online nodes + fastest to mine the PoW send blocks are unique, 1% of any 2Give sends on the blockchain are the PoW & reward anyone with the application online. There are only a few PoW blocks a day right now, but when the 2Give blockchain gets bigger & the 1% PoW starts to reward nodes online...


   Any thought on creation of a stats page in the wallet, the small icon in the bottom right has limited space to show staking info & know it's possible to show many stats that are very helpful for use of the application. Having seen a quite a few of the stats pages coded in other alternative applications Wink

//some of these are accessible, tho a dedicated tab would be a major + to user who want stats information at hand & don't know how to use the RPC console.


Current # of blocks //34603 (Advanced Options > Information tab)
Last block time //   58 minutes (Advanced Options > Information tab)
Coin Supply //506,110,769 (Debug log)
Coin Value //39 satoshis (only found online)
Coin Fiat Value //$0.00035 (only found online)
Estimated Market Capital //$177,359 (only found online)
Number of Connections //66 (nodes bottom right corner battery looking bar next to green check mark)
Difficulty //0.0003 ± 4% (green sync check mark shows network difficulty)
Network Hashrate //3,329,650.538 2GIVE   (online staking only found online)
Total Stake Weight //??? (mining calculation of time to stake) only seen when coins mature & would be helpful to see always?
Generated+Fees //5,427.60803312 (coins produced per day only found online)
Top N addresses //419 (how many 2Give addresses with coins only found online)


Just a thought, since seeing all the stats & info without having to search here or there is a big + in my book Wink

we need new BCN dev team first of all

Why is development always seen as technical, as if it has to come from the "dev team"? 
Why can't it come from the bagholders, who can be rainmakers and make something happen
with their holdings?  I mean, even whales have muscles, right?  They are not all blubber.
