I see your point on the "butthurt GPU miner algos" and also agree that merged mining would have a bad effect on the coin's value. Maybe Multi-PoW is a good solution for Anoncoin. Take a look at this: Multi-PoWs: converting an Exclusive, Fragmented CryptoLand into an Inclusive, Decentralization CryptoUtopia. On another topic: Anoncoin miner's community doesn't seem aware of P2Pool, is that so?When P2Pool is available, as is the case with Anoncoin, if find no arguments in favour of using a centralized pool. Quoting the P2Pool Bitcoin wiki article, "Decentralized payout pooling solves the problem of centralized mining pools degrading the decentralization of Bitcoin and avoids the risk of hard to detect theft by pool operators. ". May you should list the following P2Pool nodes on your Comparison of mining pools: [...] Multi-PoW isnt a good idea wrt security. more attack vectors. All the ANC ive mined has come from running p2pool locally and pointing my miners onto it. P2Pool isnt made for noobs/morons, thats why it fails to be big as normal pools. Mining on a public p2pool node is also bad, the pool op can screw you in many ways. Also it dosnt help decentralization. Is there currently a "guide" for beginners on how to mine ANC with P2Pool? If its done well (example -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=153232.0) we donate some coins for it (includes maintaining the thread too). |

This money has what characteristic? I hope it will give me a surprise
insecure hashing algo. miner was slow on purpose so ppl who know to code could mine faster. thats about it |

what's next in the logo/webdesign/pr business? i'm here to help. anoncoin.net is very slow by the way, not good pr  i aint responsible for the anoncoin.net site, meeh is. meeh said he welcomes a change of icon/logo as i do myself too. Can you create more Black/Grey combinations for suggestions? Id like to create a poll later so the users can say what they like more. Of course that poll wont be the final decisions. Im also giving ANC to ppl willing to submit ideas for logos/icons. Dont post things that hurt eyes. These things may attract ppls in the first seconds, but it is annoying over time. |

I know devs must be quite occupied with zerocoin and i2pd implementations (good luck with that by the way). Still I feel a comment from them on the following topic is rather important. What you plan to do about scrypt ASICs coming to scene and the increased possibility of a 51% attack?As of today Anoncoin has little more than 1 GH/s of network hashrate. Scrypt ASIC manufacturers are promising devices delivering up to 250 MH/s for the second or third quarter of the current year. Thus, it will be quite easy for an individual miner to do a 51% attack (even now it's easy for a multipool). Are you planing something to prevent this? Changing PoW to an ASIC resistant algorithm like scrypt-n or to Multi-PoW like Myriad? Changing to PoS or PoW/PoS? In order to integrate zerocoin an hard fork will be needed. Shouldn't you use this opportunity to also address the PoW issue? Sorry if this has been asked before. If so, please point me to your previous answer. Currently there is no ASIC resistant algorithm expect XPM (as its complicate to calculate different kinds of chains including the sieving itself). I think changing to another PoW is a good idea, but not some "butthurt GPU miner algo". ie, no scrypt-jane/scrypt-n/similiar. For example, if you look at the scrypt coins when they change their N parameter for the scrypt() call, there are years between switches so you can just create an ASIC for current N. Once N is changes, the ASIC technology is so old that nobody will use them anymore. Of course i do have alot of GPUs myself too, but i aint greedy. I dont want to say "lets use this algo (so i can mine it with my GPUs, hehehe)" as otherwise this coin would be just worthless like all the others. One thing which protects against 51% attacks is MergedMining. The downsides is, you can mine anoncoins for free as you dont have to choose between coin X and ANC (in case we stay with scrypt and both are scrypt coins). Therefore value itself would drop dramaticly and we would screw over all our investors. Il talk with Gnosis about some Ideas i have wrt PoW algo and with meeh about PoS in general. Sry for spitting out such a huge post, it had to be said. |

That is, no pool can only solo mining? You are strong, you will come up is not it? All the miners will thank you. hmm, from what I read, it says anyone mining this coin at the moment is getting screwed by dev (miner or not not a good coin to mine) Or the dev is not sufficiently careful to be trusted with your money, either way. The quote from ypool is correct. The hash function throws away half of the intermediate state generated by the first sha256: sha256(block stuff) --> hash1 twister(half of hash1) --> hash2 sha256(hash2) --> hash3 Thus, it's really only a 128 bit hash, not a 256 bit hash -- there are only 2^128 possible inputs to the second sha256, and thus, only 2^128 possible outputs. Numerically, this is probably not a critical weakness, but it's incredibly uncareful design. It also means that there are all sorts of ways to optimize the hash function well beyond what's in the built-in miner. If you go beyond that, Twister was rejected from the sha3 competition for having substantial flaws. That doesn't outright make it inappropriate in a PoW function, but it should raise substantial questions -- all other features being equal, I would consider a coin that did sha256(), x(), sha256() slightly better if it used a stronger hash function for 'x' than one that seemed like it was already going down the path of having some cryptographic weaknesses. There's no reason to think that Twister makes this weaker than just dual sha256, but it should raise serious questions about the purpose for the coin's existence. This is a technically poor coin / PoW design. GROUNDLESS ACCUSATIONS! and I do not think there is any flaw in my code. I do not think the word "groundless" means what you think it does. Allow me to more concretely ground my statements so that you might understand them better: - Wallet source code showing the code as I copy/pasted it: https://github.com/tlas/tlascoin/blob/41921a44f7cc504d2c2d114edef026a58c1b43f7/src/hash.h#L17
Hasht1( 256, (const unsigned char*)hash1.ToString().c_str(),256, hashval );
You call ToString(), which creates a 64 byte hex representation of the hash. You then pass it to Hasht1, specifying a length of 256 bits (32 bytes). The second claim I made was that Twister was rejected as a SHA3 candidate. Citation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIST_hash_function_competition"The following non-conceded Round One entrants have had substantial cryptographic weaknesses announced" ... Twister ... Which of these statements do you believe to be factually incorrect? But the last round SHA256 ensure the safety. Only half the "safety" because your entropy is halfed. If i throw char[2] into sha256(), it aint safe! (as example) Your weakening sha256 by this. PS: there is still a pull req which you can/should accept  |

WTS 10K TLS for 0.2 BTC for all.
Fablio2 is bad trader, We talked business about 0.1 BTC = 10K LTS, and I send he 0.1 BTC, now he just selling my 2500 LTS, and he returned my 0.075 BTC, Bad faith!  use the trust system and mark him as scammer |

Is this coin still supported?
The same question. And if yes, what nodes should I add to sync the wallet with the current blockchain? This should be the official 3d. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577647.0I think BBQcoin needs a community so, welcome to anybody who'll show up  EDIT: and you can exchange BQC on cryptsy and bter no, this is just CaptChadd trying to do his shit again. New sockpuppet |

I am offering a 0.1 Bitcoin tip for assistance in getting my mining rig up and running. I have been struggling for days to get sph-sgminer to see my Radion R9 290 Tri-x card. I am running Zorin a 64 bit linux distribution. What I have done so far First I tried installing the latest versions of catalyst but that did not work. Gave a black screen and HDMI cable stopped transmitting info to the monitor although system could still be accessed via teamviewer and otherwise loaded normally. Then I downgraded (after complete wipe and reinstall) to catalyst-13.11-beta V9.4 which seemed to work as the system now loaded fine. After installing catalyst I then installed AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-lnx64. I then downloaded sph-sgminer-master, and I copied the three files from the ADL_SDK_6.0/ include folder to their appropriate place in the sph-sgminer-master folder I downloaded the the dependencies and compiled sph-sgminer-master without issue. ./configure shows that everything installed correctly Configuration Options Summary:
Use git version......: no
libcurl(GBT+getwork).: Enabled: -lcurl
curses.TUI...........: FOUND: -lncurses
OpenCL...............: FOUND. GPU mining support enabled
ADL..................: SDK found, GPU monitoring support enabled
However after I compile when I run ./sgminer -n I get the following [21:25:48] CL Platform 0 vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[21:25:48] CL Platform 0 name: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
[21:25:48] CL Platform 0 version: OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1214.3)
[21:25:48] Error -1: Getting Device IDs (num)
[21:25:48] clDevicesNum returned error, no GPUs usable
[21:25:48] 0 GPU devices max detected
Looks like no GPU drivers are installed, however they are installed. When I check sudo aticonfig --lsa My output is * 0. 01:00.0 AMD Radeon R9 290 Series
* - Default adapter
I checked my xorg.conf and its output is as follows Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection
Section "Module"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
So I am totally stumped. I don't want to spend hours on this and get nowhere. Figure this out for me and I'll tip you 0.1 Bitcoin. Are you logged in? If not, you have to. OpenCL for ATI only works when an X is running. the logging screen itself is no X. Also what is the output of this command: fglrxinfo (run it inside your X or set DISPLAY) |

Apparently the wallet has a bug.
When solo mining across multiple hosts (2 in my e.g.), cpuminer/sph-sgminer complains "Waiting for work to be available from pool".
No bug, set rpcthreads correctly. default is 4 |

Till date,
This miner is working on 5xxx, 6xxx, 7xxx, 280x, 290 and Nvidia cards.
How are the speeds on the 5850, 5870, 5970, 6950, 6970 and 6990? i failed to run it on 58** :S |

what s the connection to storj?
it uses datacoin as backend storage |

Can we just start calling it ANC like "ankh" (an egyptian glyph)
i already "call" ANC like "ankh" i bet im not the only one |
|
|
|
swaphole? Not a very confidence inspiring name.. Things tend to get lost in holes... they call it "fees" |
|
|

I prefer the moody black and gray because of the subtleties. The orange and black have too much stark contrast. Looks tacky imho.
same goes for me Am i really the only one giving him some ANC for his work?  |

I always liked anoncoin but it is only traded on cryptsy. vircurex is dead and I don't even consider the rest of scummy exchange where it is offered. any plans to bring this coin into other serious market like bter?
I can get you to swisscex, our partner xchange. Sad thing, low volume but all legit. thats also a scammy/shady exchange |

 http://bayimg.com/IaniEAaFNMy try... A for AnonCoin and An Arch (=no leader) as in Anarchy. Sphere around the A as in the classic Anarchy symbol, and also as the Globe in the current AnonCoin logo. Two horizontal lines thru the letter, for the usual money symbol style, also results in several layers within the A, symbolizing security layers, black within the A symbolizing anonymity in contrast to the outer grey noise, symbolizing the outer world. So you have symbols for: Freedom, Roots, Global, Currency, Security, Anonymity Also possible to get with plain grey without noise, or a black A without any background, and so on... Hope you like it, if so: AJaFjcHfCQ8poheqE85nb4VDiQEhXj5ptE n00n I like this very much |

You can get it for free , just by searching for " Wifi hotspot hack"
Sadly it has been made only for Linux so far.
You would have just adjusted it and are getting money from someone else's Wifi.
Hi, Can you link me to what you are referring to? Is this a way to bypass pay-for open hotspots with DNS, or another means? There are many different potential vulnerabilities in wireless that can be exploited. With DNS tunneling like my service does, you need an endpoint to talk to. If there is a free public service to do that, you can certainly use that instead, but my understanding is that there are not many public Iodine servers out there. This of course does not work everywhere, but nor does any single wireless hacking methodology (cracking WPA, WEP, or WPS). Thanks! Most "hotspots" filter everything (some let ICMP out, so you can use ICMP to get outside) excpect DNS. Their DNS server do resolve all addresses correctly (some dont, but rarely) and therefore iodine works well in such cases! @sega01 how is your project going? |

Be careful!
User kevin777 (or kevin777.2 , kevin77.1 and other) - scammer.
He rents rigs on three hours, gives a bad rating and then requires extra hours... or not fix your rating!
I had such a guy too. As soon i told im i wont let me get scammed and that i informed the support/mux about it, he got scared. so scared that he no longer wanted free hours and didnt leave any rating at all. just in case you want to try such tactics  |
