Our Mining pool www.MUEpool.com is currently down.

We have contacted the Pool developer Ahmed Bodi who is working on restoring the service.

Will advise in due course.  Apologies for any inconvenience.


Back up.

This is awesome, thank you drakoin, this is a really great resource to offer MUEsers Smiley

Look forward to testing this out on my little Raspberry Pi towards completing the MUE starter miner package https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=778322.msg8953418#msg8953418

Anyone taking advantage of drakoins hard work, please do feedback your results/experience.

LINUX manual -COMPILE the WALLETd in the CLOUD

now also with details for MUE coin:
lots of explanations https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=460178.msg9007912#msg9007912 (posting #31)

* your wallet in the cloud, 24/7 on
* just buy yourself a VPS droplet - for only 5$/month:
* digital ocean http://[Suspicious link removed]/digocean NL USA Singapur

* Debian 7 (or Ubuntu 12 but then you'd support the Unity spyware)
* you can also run other tools like block explorer, CPU-miner, etc.
* for an easy start into the linux world; safer - less NSA backdoors?

* to learn for future coinstarts: already have a wallet when windows user don't have a wallet yet
* a walletd uses ~ 1% cpu power, you can have many on one VPS

Any hint to improve the manual is highly appreciated.

About four days on and off and not using all cores. AMD FX-8350 was and still is the most economical upgrade path.  Got chip and board for $400!  I've got a few things that actually need serous crunching power, like stacking 100+ 70Mb tiff files for astrophotograpy, or stitching about 60 of em for some mega-pano work.  Gets at least 110Kh/s per core though, depending on what I've been doingplaying.  Today it was trying to squeeze some more performance out of the ram.  Did well, stock reads 24,000MB/s and I got it to 29,000MB/s.  Main gains through getting HT link running at 3Ghz and tightening up the timing a bit.  Good to know these things, don't bother overclocking the ram, just improve your timing and signal, etc etc.  Overclocking, hot-rodding for techies.  The other day I told me mum "I finally realized the real reason I'm doing this.  It's to scare the shit out of the other techs."  Cheesy

Four water-coolers, one for CPU, three for GPU's.  And I don't even game.  Utterly impossible to fry any of those cards though, period.
I remember when C first came out.  Not C++, not C+, just C.  Not just the backbone of cryptos.  The Backbone.  When we first saw it we all saw that it was going to compile into good tight code.  It really was the birth of modern computing languages.  It's been a long time, really really long time, really really really long long time, we'll see.  So much to do.  I got into the crypto scene because I saw it was the perfect way to sell my photography (thanks by the way).  That itself was a fallback position due to health issues.  I should, nay, must get back into it at least enough to compile a damn wallet though!  *grumble*  Last programming job I had was doing a custom app in Autocad Lisp (a hellish programming language).  That was on Acad-12, the first Windows version.  I fired up the "latest" Autocad a few years back and um.... it was like being trained on two-engine Cesna's and suddenly being tossed into a 747.

Yeah, I can see why you call it "badgirl", looks insane! (in a good way).

Well, if you are looking for a challenge etc please don't hesitate to compile the MUE wallet into Linux  Grin , would be happy to be able to offer whatever flavours installation people may want (I am expecting a Debian version any day now btw), not sure but probably Ubuntu and CentOS are most widely used?

In wallet mining on my humble machine on one thread is ~6kh and CPUminer on one thread is ~40kh, which seems a pretty impressive increase for not a lot of work.

Did you code this coin or get someone else in on it?  Why can't the same code that's in the mining software be spliced into the wallet?  Damn... they've outlawed object-oriented programming and I didn't even notice!  Please tell me we've still got C++!  Cheesy

Ah yeah, see previous post, I have "hired" the technical talent....
You know C++ is pretty much the backbone of cryptos right? https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Software#Bitcoin_clients_2
Time for your second wind??  Grin

Just to let you all know a 1 million MUE deposit has been made from the pre-mine to the faucet, which has been increased again to 10 MUE every 12 hours.

In total so far ~2 Million MUE has been used from the pre-mine for services, promotions and give-aways.
No pump and dump.
No quick profit and walk away.
No big hype and heavy promotion.
Sorry about that, just thought it could be done a different way  Grin

Makes my 2400 (mined so far) look a bit paltry.  Most excellent launch.  So who needs an exchange for commerce?  What I need is someone to basically just answer questions for a couple of hours while I bring myself back up to speed in a few areas, someone who knows a bit about blockchain programming.  By the way, do you think that doing something as simple as xor'ing the hashing code would hide it from scanning eyes?  I wouldn't think so, or else every damn malware author would be doing the same simple trick.  In any case, I propose trading time for time and expertise.  Whoever's time on IRC, my time doing whatever and maybe some fine photography.

2400 sounds pretty good, you have't been doing it for long have you, about a week??
PM me your wallet address so I can send you a thank you for your research earlier in this thread.... Smiley
I suspect your technical expertise is beyond mine.  I'm not the dev of this coin, rather the project lead.  I have brought the idea and the expertise together to realise it, however your premise of trading time for expertise pretty much sums up this whole open source philosophy, I don't see you having a problem doing that, and I reckon within 6 months you're gonna be kicking some serious arse developing coins and code  Smiley
btw your photography is pretty awesome..one of the many benefits of Canada I guess (you mentioned ur Canadian a few pages back).

wrt exchanges/commerce it is inevitable that MUE will be listed on an exchange, but this is not something I am rushing.  As possible as it is that MUE could be a "bartering token" this isn't really the direction I would like to take the coin (not saying either is better or worse).
Stable, low per unit "fiat value" per MUE is where I think the value lies, offering merchants a "low" risk crypto alternative with plenty of liquidity and obviously fast confirmation times.
I don't have a time line for approaching exchanges to get listed, but it is certainly not a short term goal.

sample conf to solo mine this coin??

Don't forget you are solo mining right after install as it automines on startup.
Granted only running on one thread, but you can increase that from the in wallet menu if you want
Settings > Options > Mining

Please have a quick look through our FAQ http://www.monetaryunit.org/faq/ which also includes details of how to set up CPUminer, which seems to work much faster than the in wallet miner.  In wallet mining on my humble machine on one thread is ~6kh and CPUminer on one thread is ~40kh, which seems a pretty impressive increase for not a lot of work.

Hi dev,

The basic concept of this MUE coin looks great. Me, U, Everybody as a monetary unit for all.

However, if you do want to make it accessible to all, I sincerely suggest you to fix the wallet's virus issue first:

https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/af168dd1d44943431dc4a42fc35e8b5b700bc5c4fe40efa61bfd011566d07782/analysis/1411645485/

I truly believe it's not difficult for you to fix it, otherwise I can only expect this coin will reach far less people than you can imagine.


Don't think there is a way to have a wallet with built in mining software to come up completely clean.  I believe this is why some wallets do and some don't.


There is an easy way.

The dev just needs to make a clean wallet version (without mining function). There are far more people prefer not to mine and just need to hold their coins safe in a clean wallet.

For those prefer to mine inside their wallets, they can continue to use the current version (with mining function and of course, some viruses).

By doing so, people can have freedom to choose on their own which version they want to download and use.
I do get what you're saying however I think the people savvy enough to virus check the wallet are savvy enough to realise a few positives is expected.
I think those that would be put off are unlikely to be affected as they wouldn't notice.
Maybe I'm being naive but I think that's probably quite realistic.

This is an unfortunate nature of crypto wallet software, that some antivirus software identifies many wallets like this.
This is a well known issue, and you can Google it...it's kind of annoying though.

Thanks for bringing this up.

Our Faucet has been amended to now supply 10 MUE per user/24 hours, a TEN fold increase, please visit www.freeMUE.com.

Also, you can like our FaceBook page www.FaceBook.com/MonetaryUnit
and follow us on Twitter www.Twitter.com/MonetaryUnit for more rewards.

More services on the way including
  • Website re-designs for our block explorer site www.MUEchain.info & Faucet site
  • iOS wallet app currently in development (We will be one of the first Altcoins to achieve this!)
  • Android wallet app
  • In-wallet pool mining

These should all be live within 1-4 weeks.

, and one of my coins tanked.  Cheesy  Oh I'm gonna take over the world for sure!

LOL!

Well, I think we should all work to our strengths..and it sounds like your crypto investing skills are about as good as mine.
I bought WDC at what will probably be known as its "peak"....

You may be interested to know (as hopefully others will too) that I am looking at making "entry level" mining packages for potential new entrants into crypto, and specifically for MonetaryUnit.

The plan is to have a "plug and play" RaspberryPi that users can buy from the MUE shop, plug in the power, plug in a LAN cable and it is already pre-configured to their wallet address (which will already have some MUE deposited to it as a starter incentive) and will tick along mining for them (utilising the hugely powerful 700mhz processor!), supporting the network etc.

It may be that we just sell a pre-configured SD card for installation rather than the hardware, but still early days.

I have at least started stage one, obtaining the RaspberryPi....

If anyone wants to help with this please let me know Smiley

What's happend? The diff has grown from 9 to 47 within the past 24 hours.
i think it's because of my 19Mh rented rig and many others with big hashrate that mine solo Grin Grin Grin

Too funny.  This is the first time I've been curious enough to look up mining rig rental prices.... and I ran across this rig on first click.

https://www.miningrigrentals.com/rigs/7175/

So, three days for about five bucks?  Was it worth it?  How thin are the margins with that?  


hmmm I think it's more like $50 isn't it?
BTC/MHash/Day   0.0003 = 16.5 (mh) x 0.0003 (per hour) x 24 (whole day) = 0.1188BTC x $420 = $49.90 per day
Definitely cheaper than buying the equipment though, and a good way to hit low difficulty coins to hold in enternal optimism.
Quite often this sort of thing is done by the devs at launch for various reasons.
I also spotted this - https://www.miningrigrentals.com/rigs/8723/  Shocked

edit:Just noticed they don't know the difference between TH & GH......

Good news.  Just checked out sgminer with quarkcoin kernel.  Looks like it's fairly comparable to cpu mining so although you can use gpu for mining it doesn't have the tremendous advantage over cpu of say, scrypt.  My 6850 was getting 650 Kh/s and my 7950 had issues, probably with these 14.6 beta drivers, but wasn't showing anything extraordinary either.  Looks like this levels the playing field.  Still plenty of coins out there for the big rigs.

Thanks Atomicat, appreciate the time and effort you've taken to look at this.
It is good news as well, and hopefully vindicates the choice of the Quark algorithm for this coin to bring some "fairness" to mining for MUE.
That said, there are still plenty of CPU farms and botnets out there with significant influence...hopefully MUE will go under the radar long enough  Smiley

I've heard a lot of "Dogecoin doesn't deserve..." griping in the last year but that's precisely why it IS.  When I first got introduced to this scene I was bugging my buddy about all the different details, technical shit.  He told me to just stop, that it didn't mean a thing, and that the only thing that mattered was the community backing.  I've seen that's precisely true.  With very few exceptions all the coins are basically clones with big "Sucks 50% Less!" stickers on them.  Doge is the only coin which has made some minor inroads into commerce, and that is the only thing that matters, period.  Just thought of the worst metaphor, but it fits perfectly.  Like Claudius in the court of Calligula, playing the idiot until it's safe to come out.

Of course it wasn't the miners who made out well during the gold-rush, it was their suppliers.  It looks like it's all going to come down to electricity costs, and bonus points for cooling.  Manitoba is going to be one of those puddles in the desert one of these days.  Our juice here actually costs less than in Iceland.  6c khr vs 10c, quite the difference.  Might have to talk to a friend or two about this, get something going.

Well, I think this is true with regards to the labour intensive coins (which are the majority of currently successful coins).
MUE was never set up to be part of this arms race though, and I wonder how long this drain on resources can go on before it plateaus/declines.
Certainly, long term, community, algorithm & accessibility is the key formula to success.  Can't wait to see how things develop over the next 3-5 years and beyond...fascinating stuff...really is

This is old coin as I understand, no exchanges and standalone miner.
Mining is just for fun?


Any special point to this coin beyond being an attempted btc magnet?
Good question.
You've obviously read the ANN, and visited the website and had time to formulate an opinion, would be good to hear it.
What do you think?

As for MonetaryUnit being a BTC magnet, not sure what you mean exactly?

My CPU is bored so I will try this one out Smiley. I wish luck to this finding an exchange.
Will be great to have you on board.
We are looking at options for an exchange though this is something that we do not want to rush.
Too many coins rush into getting listed on an exchange and after the initial frenzy are not heard of again.
Thanks for the interest and support for MUE.

So, the next big strategy for MUE is a huge advertising campaign with this tag line;
"MonetaryUnit ; The common cold of cryptocurrency".  Reward coming your way  Tongue

I do see what you are saying, and it makes sense, though would require a significant investment in development work if it is feasible at all.
Having a pool(s) does offer something for those who just "like" it that way, and I think it is good to have several appealing factors to try to attract people to get involved with MonetaryUnit.

If you did want to experiment with mining software, I got it up and running in minutes using the Quark miner.
Download the MonetaryUnit wallet then the Quark CPU miner www.MonetaryUnit.org/downloads and extract the CPU miner to desktop.
Create a file in the same folder as the CPU miner called start.cmd with the following contents (amend your wallet address);

minerd64_sse4.exe -a quark -t 1 -o stratum+tcp://www.muepool.com:3333 -u muewalletaddress -p anything

If you want to use more than one CPU thread, change "-t 1" to "-t n"
Then use command prompt to navigate to the start.cmd file.

I will write that up in a "nicer" way for the FAQ section of our site.

Once again I'm dropping in here on my last scan before crashola.  Just checked the numbers and it looks like that version of Minerd and whatever code is in the wallet are pretty much the same (and why wouldn't they be).  I get the same hash rate (about 145Kh/s) from 7 threads on my FX-8350 (not overclocked atm).  So then what's easier for Ma Kettle?  That long string command with possible misspellings, pool, wallet address etc, or just "setgenerate true 7"?  What I looked at briefly the other night was weather the sgminer quark kernel used GPU or just plain CPU.  Only had a quick poke at it because I was VERY tired.  Sgminer has forked so many times in the last half a year that the syntax has become muddled a bit.  Can be a pain to the frustrated and bleary-eyed.

This scene has me looking at getting back into coding but it has been a LONG time.  Just had a thought... last code I wrote was back in 2001.  Automated myself out of a job at a small ISP.  Yeah, go me eh!  So now I think, how much change was there between that and the first stuff I was doing in oh, Borland Pascal?  On the other hand, what the hell, so what if I'm starting from scratch?  I still speak fluent 6502, learned Autocad Lisp (and that's a MOFO), I can handle this.  Excellsior!

I think you're just the type of person we need round here.
You are very welcome! Smiley

Is this coin dead? How many months since launch? still no exchange.  Sad
no exchange
big premine(not shared premine address)
no promotion

same like most altcoins its dead

Just look at the long list of hyped, highly promoted coin launches, on exchanges immediately, pumped...and then the big dump and walk away.
If MonetaryUnit isn't fitting that mould and disappointing you, then good.
This isn't a 3 month project, looking a lot further ahead than that.
If you don't "get" this coin, that's fine, it's not going to appeal to everyone, in fact, it probably won't appeal to most on here, but history shows that most of the coins that do, usually end up on the same pile after a few months, save the true minority of coins that actually show some longevity.

please put the premine address next to the block explorer on the OP ,so that we could check it any time.
Fair point, done.

Another explaination is that this coin does not attract any attention from the market. Grin

They burn themselves out like ebola, what we want is the common cold.  Wink  I have to wonder though, if this is to be a cpu-only coin, why have pools at all?  I haven't bothered putting in any time seeing if I could get sgminer and quark kernel working on this because it would seem to go against the whole idea of the thing.  I say keep it CPU only, period.  It should also be made resistant to cloud computing, digital ocean droplets, things like that.  How about a straight-up limit on hash rate?  That would seem to cut right to the chase eh?
