Seeing how the dev's have reacted so far, and the system seems to be working well, this could be a very interesting experiment.
What is missing, is a proper UI for importing private keys in the core client.

Did you run -salvagewallet during the first load? Otherwise your wallet.dat will hold tx information for invalid tx's, thus the "too high" and "negative" errors i suspect.
Yes... There are still tons of exceptions in the debug.log with -salvagewallet. Renamed wallet.dat to wallet.1401006085.bak
Salvage(aggressive) found 1210 records
<tons of: ******* exception encountered ******* s>:

No matter how I crunch the numbers my GPU rig mines more BTC worth of coin per day than when I use if for Scrypt-N and X11 You have problems with your math then. Nscrypt and X11 are consistently more profitable for GPU miners now, and X11 specifically so because of decreased power consumption. If you use coinwarz as your profitability metric... well, you're probably a bit retarded. CoinWarz NEVER has the most profitable coins listed, and the top scrypt coins are usually only due to momentary diff valleys. X11 is very likely being mined by ASICS or FPGA. X11 (XC) coin has a greater network hashrate than LTC right now according to some guy I was chatting with. If that is true than do you really believe that is GPU farms mining a new coin? No... there are no ASICs and FPGAs are unlikely to ever be cost effective at X11 (FPGAs are useful for prototyping ASICs, but rarely used for real tasks). |

Heh, so if it is txout based (how CLAMs were given), and the dev's didn't try to give themselves a huge advantage, then the luckiest clam holders are probably p2pool miners that never merge their coins into single txouts.
Some major analysis on the CLAM chain and the prior imports is needed I think. Should be very interesting.

Amusing idea, but the OP needs to make clear how the coins are distributed. ~4CLAM are given for each unique txout, unique address, or by balance? If it's by txout, then this is a HUGE scam... If it's by address, then this is a HUGE scam... Why? Because anyone who designed this coin and had half a brain would have split up a million Doge into a million wallets, and had 4 million clams... --- When importing, the debug.log shows a LOT of exceptions being throw: ******* exception encountered *******
ERROR: CTransaction::CheckTransaction() : txout.nValue too high
******* exception encountered *******
ERROR: CTransaction::CheckTransaction() : txout.nValue negative
******* exception encountered *******
******* exception encountered ******* (This goes on for pages). Something buggy happening during the import scans? |

One of my rigs is Dual Miner based, just a little less than 2 MHs. So I tried setting the difficulty to 256.
However after changing my config file and restarting my mining software, I'm seeing evidence that the difficulty is still 512.
<...>
Answer here, I believe: Stratum endpoints now suppport "d=XXX" as your password for setting difficulty. It won't take effect immediately (you'll see 512 difficulty show up to start), but will reset on the first block change (new block, or coin switch), normally only a few seconds.
--- Good call re-introducing this valuable feature, PoolWaffle. Personally I like "gambling" with higher difficulties, heh. Luck always seems to favour me when I go with higher difficulties and variance, and over time I have achieved a statistically relevant advantage in total shares when aiming for higher targets. I always think back to when I was only mining litecoin, and I discovered ~60 blocks for one pool. Out of this work, I generated enough shares for only just over 1000 LTC (20 blocks worth). I always kick myself for not solo-mining, heh. Now, high diff/variance makes me feel more like I am solo'ing without annoying periods of multiple-days without a block. |

As I've said before. Adding the server is no problem (already done, with private ports for personal testing). The problem is if you want to get paid, which is what I'm very actively working on  Heh... and we do all like getting paid. |
|

I assume we'll be all in working order once the issue with the block has been fixed?
Nothing is in working order. The blockchain is effectively broken. Stake blocks are occuring, but they contain no transactions, so no spends are confirming. |

You don't have to believe it if you don't want. Perhaps the sender will come forward, or send the same screen shot to others who can confirm. Or perhaps he doesn't care enough to do that. I have no idea, and I respect his privacy.
You evidently missed part of my sarcasm - a screenshot doesn't prove anything either... |

You're wrong about this. I have a screen shot that was PMed to me by someone who paid a lot of money for a lot of servers to mine this coin. He won't be outed by me ever but he does in fact exist. Truth.
There is little to no evidence of any massive botnet involvement with this coin. If and when it does happen, you will see malware detectors (false positive) flagging the miners, because the miners get incorporated into malware. If you knew as much as you claim to know about botnet mining, you would know this.
FUD bombing or trolling, which is it?
Hah... sounds more like FUD to me then anything else posted here. "I have a screen shot that was PMed to me by someone".... WHOA NELLY! STOP THE PRESSES! And there is at least one version of the miner that is definitely detected (falsely) by AV now. I'd say your FUD bombing AND trolling... I was trying to extend a conversation about why GPU mining would be a positive step. |

The client is showing that it is staking now, and it appears to mine/stake a block; however, everything is getting orphaned/conflicted. 3 stakes now have all changed to status: conflicted, and transactions from hours ago still aren't confirming.

Last I checked, discrete GPUs are an expensive technology largely confined to rich white Western males. Let's not pretend it's 'fair'. Just like everyone else, they're an interest group trying to serve themselves. It's actually a rather tiny community in the grand scheme (the world is pretty big), but they have a disproportionate presence on this forum.
Still, everyone can go buy a GPU - level playing field. Not everyone can (and definitely should not) go create a large botnet and abuse their CPUs... It's sure as hell more fair than hackers having 100, 200, 300 computer botnet farms mining CPU only coins.
Far more likely that the majority of the hashrate comes from people around the world renting VM instances mining MRO and paying for it. Lol.. no, it really isn't more likely. Botnet is WAY more likely based on the history of CPU coins. |

The biggest thing Monero would benefit from right now, is a GPU miner. CPU-only is a guaranteed way to put the majority of the coins in the hands of criminals/botnet owners.
Will Monero ever have a GPU miner?CryptoNote is about more than just privacy. It's about freedom. That's the point of egalitarian mining. Live in an oppressive state? Fuck you, government! Anyone with an internet connection can download the miner and receive a fair share of money. What's the point of anonymous transactions if only priviledged individuals can get the coins? What's the point of a fair launch and fair distribution if the rich get disproportionately richer via priviledged mining? I'm sorry if you have a snazzy GPU farm that you're dieing to take advantage of, but Monero doesn't play favorites. It goes against the entire philosophy of this currency. I'm fairly certain that the developers and other contributing parties agree with me (speak up if you don't). Even if they are unanimously brainwashed into thinking GPU mining is a good idea, I will fight tooth and nail to make sure it never gets implemented. I swear to God, I will haunt this thread for as long as it exists and scare the bejesus out of anyone who dares to come up with some half-brained argument to enable privileged mining. Absolutely absurd. CPU mined coins are not "fair" in any measurable way. CPU-only mining results in botnet owners/criminals manipulating the network. Period. Your cheap i3 will never get a reasonable portion of the network, because there will be millions of drone computers mining for their masters. GPU mining levels the field. Actually I don't think a GPU can be faster one-on-one, as the PoW depends heavily on the characteristics of the CPU. If CryptoNight ASICS do become a reality, I believe the GPU mining phase will be skipped entirely.
Highly unlikely. This was said about scrypt (which became rapidly GPU mined) - in fact many things ring very similar. The main 'protections' against GPUs and ASICs that are claimed of CryptoNight are related to L3 cache speed and scratchpad size requirements. Guess what? The same was said about scrypt... |

DarkCoin is way ahead. The Monero is just a proof-of-concept and command-line hacker only. It's far from a stable wallet that the average user can use. Miles and miles behind. DarkCoin has also Masternode mining which opens a new dimension for mining.... more incentive.
Bytecoin devs are elusive and have been mining their own coin since 2012 while everyone else was left out....
Isn't Darkcoin closed source though? And I thought they were thinking of copying the ring signature idea as it offers enhanced anonymity? Monero is many, many times cheaper than DarkCoin too. No, it is open source... https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin . DarkCoin was originally forked from litecoin. That said, Monero likely offers a much higher degree of anonymity then afforded by DarkCoin. DarkCoin is way ahead. The Monero is just a proof-of-concept and command-line hacker only. It's far from a stable wallet that the average user can use. Miles and miles behind.
So.. it is only a proof of concept because it doesn't have a GUI? Several GUIs are coming for cryptonote, a few from the bounty and two (one nice, one basic) from Boolberry devs. Max time for a fully functional GUI is two months. Basic ones will be ready well before then. There are already alpha GUIs right now. Ya, let the GUIs come with time. I see this as a non-issue so far. The biggest thing Monero would benefit from right now, is a GPU miner. CPU-only is a guaranteed way to put the majority of the coins in the hands of criminals/botnet owners. |

I am going to consolidate all the shitcoins to PND. Not exactly sure how you plan to do that when nobody can spend PND right now... I suppose you could buy them on an exchange and then have the withdrawal pending forever... 5 hours with no block now. |

wallet 2.0.1 open 137030 blocks downloaded, last block 3 hours ago, not staking yet, but 25 active connections perhaps staking later due to high diff? Yup... so far this PoS transition is an epic fail. Dev's failed miserably at implementing PoS - now they simply say that these bugs are "normal". Normal for crap code maybe. PoS starting diff was retardedly low (rather unacceptable), resulting in block spam and now a savagely high diff and no blocks for hours. Nobody can move their coins, making this a serious failure. |
