Hello fellow Groestlers! I've just finished publishing the "GroestlCoin future" page: http://www.groestlcoin.org/future/I hope that it'll be interesting for you to read. Let me/us know if you think that there are some other interesting things that we need to try. And also, I would like to ask something from you... I'd like us to have the "Groestlcoin for newbies" guides [with screenshots!]. They'll really help to position us as the "coin for everyone". So if you have time - please help the project. Thanks srcxxx |

Hi ig0tik3d! Many thanks for making the 32-bit build for Windows. It is really important for the "coin for everyone". However, I also see that Win32 is a lot slower than Win64. I'm getting 230khs vs 730khs on my MackBook. Could you please check compile flags? Perhaps SSE2 is not ON or something similar? Thanks in advance! srcxxx Great Coin! Price should be around 5000  If anyone compile win32 version, plz share it... Working on it right now. Hopefully should get .exe shortly. OK, this MinGW install can't be done easily. Will work on this and the website tomorrow. Took a day off from work to get more done for GRS. If somebody can compile the 32 bit pool miner within next 10 hours - awesome. If not, I'll have to do this myself. PS: For those of you who ask why is the 32 bit miner needed at all, when there is 64 bit miner... The answer is: because it supports our story of "GRS: mining for everyone". Thanks win32 cpuminer https://mega.co.nz/#!WMQTiIYB!XlQyKu5xuxMadTWbrN5qyFBw4DkObqb3NB-FwjZ7iAE , i test, seems run on win32 but about found shares i dont tested. p.s. found some shares. I can confirm it works, but it seems quite slow, about 1/2 of the hashrate I would expect. Is that due to Win32 or is it not properly optimized yet? |

Hi Qiwoman! Awesome post. Thank you for it! Could I also ask you to add another strong side of GroestlCoin... The fact that GPU mining is only a few times slower than CPU mining and that old hardware (both CPU and GPU) still performs quite well with this algorithm. This makes it a true coin for everyone. You can use your old laptop for mining and get profit. This is not true on other algorithms, where ASICs/GPU farms rule. 6% block reward decrease each week is another unique feature. Very important for investors. And finally, GPU mining GRS algorithm gives the lowest power consumption and lowest heat, which is very good for miners. Especially in those countries, where summer is approaching. Thanks again! srcxxx |

Hi Savale and other developers! Please code-review my pull request https://github.com/GroestlCoin/GroestlCoin/pull/3Version 1.0.1.1 of the wallet will fix the issue of "Block Chain source not found", as now default GroestlCoin.conf will point to groestlcoin.net, which is running the GroestlCoin daemon. I would also like to see if I have commitment from someone to build updated Windows and Mac binaries. (If not, I'll do it myself of course) Thanks srcxxx |

Hi ig0tik3d! Could I ask you to do it please? It sort of is your project. Thanks srcxxx |

Update: new website is coming shortly. I will do it myself (probably during the weekend, if not earlier)

Something like this perhaps ...... Rough 1st Draft   Sorry, your image does not display. |

Hi ig0tik3d! [/quote] if I am not mistaken my version cpuminer can be compiled only for 64 bit system. original cpu miner https://github.com/GroestlCoin/GroestlCoin-cpu can be compiled for 32 bit sistem, but its not optimized and have low speed. [/quote] Are you sure Win32 version is impossible? Have you tried compiling it? If you look at https://github.com/ig0tik3d/GroestlCoin-cpu-1.0a, it talks about x86 builds: Architecture-specific notes:
x86: The miner checks for SSE2 instructions support at runtime,
and uses them if they are available.

Yeah, I pinned it a few days ago |

I am now used to the name "GroestlCoin" I vote to keep it - It's uniqueness has grown on me  Gotta agree, we should keep it. I never wanted to change it. So looks like more and more people are agreeing. Let's keep it! |

We could Jazz up the Scrabble Piece by making it "GOLD" and more 3 Dimentional, also we could emboss the letter G... just a thought!  I like this! Can someone do it? |

I suppose we need urgently this to fix - OpenSSL Heartbleed vulnerability.
Yeah, I saw this in the news. I don't think there is any reason to panic over this in case of GRS. I am planning to release a new version of the wallet, so I encourage you to propose ideas. I don't think it's a good idea to release new wallet versions frequently, so we need to combine multiple changes together. Here's what I've heard about so far: 1) Name change. Perhaps G2.Not sure why we would do this. Don't see how G2 is better than GroestlCoin. I think namechange may do us more harm than good. At least GroestlCoin has direct connection to Groestl hash function. As for G2... What is G2? The logo that we have on the coin? Not sure... 2) Dark Gravity Wave 2I tried to google it, but could not find info. Which coin is using it? 3) Updating to new Bitcoin Core version 0.9.1Perhaps it is worth doing it. I'd like to wait for some other altcoin to do this first. If you see it, please let me know. Anything else... Let me know srcxxx If you have github access / experience, feel free to log GroestlCoin issues / create feature requests in my repository: https://github.com/srcxxx/GroestlCoin/issuesImplemented features will be pushed to main GroestlCoin repo |

Hi ig0tik3d! Do you have a Win32 build of your miner or could you make one? Some people are asking for it. Thanks srcxxx |

Hi! >Hi, I'm getting 'no block source available' with my windows wallet download. I don't understand how to find the config file or what exactly to do with it please elaborate Go to your "user" folder in Windows. Should be in "C:\Users\_YourUserName_". Go into "AppData\Roaming\GroestlCoin" inside of this folder. There is a file "GroestlCoin.conf" inside. It is a plain text file. Edit it with Notepad. And paste in this text: listen=1
server=1
rpcuser=u
rpcpassword=p
rpcport=1441
addnode=37.187.129.122
addnode=62.210.162.235
addnode=88.167.215.32
addnode=69.197.137.58
addnode=103.16.218.165
addnode=84.98.85.30
addnode=76.16.120.82
addnode=62.210.123.27
addnode=117.13.253.241
srcxxx There is no file like that in users. I just downloaded the windows wallet, is there another download that installs the groestl conf in my users file? I'd like to be part of this new coin, but it's very hard for someone with limited knowledge like myself to figure out. Right now I'm mining Hirocoin with sgminer, can I just input the groestl pool info in my sgminer bat file or do I need a special download? again, I'm very confused by what I see when I click the link for the miner download. Sorry I sound so clueless, but to be fair this coin is not simple to figure out how to mine. I decided to move this thread out of PM, perhaps it'll help others. So... If you don't see "AppData" folder in your USER folder, it means that "Show hidden folders" option is disabled on your computer. Go to "Organize" menu and select "Folder and search options", enable the show hidden files opion:  Now you'll be able to edit it. Here's the file:  As for your second question... It depends which sgminer version your are using. I would recommend that you download sgminer from the page header, just to be sure: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=525926.msg5836234#msg5836234 |

Hi Everyone!
Please PM me if you can help in promoting / PR of GroestlCoin. Or just post into this thread.
Most importantly, we need articles in some crypto-related websites and blog posts.
We have the information to post (like advantages of this algorithm, etc), but we need to find a way of posting it to serious websites.
Setting up a bounty for this should be no problem.
It would be great to do this asap since we just got listed on poloniex.
Thanks
srcxxx
