Exchange?

C-cex, Coin swap and Onecryex already accepted us. We're aiming for Cryptsy, though. So please send a support ticket to https://cryptsy.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new to help us get accepted.

Cheers,

Any exchange yet

Some smaller exchanges like c-cex and coin swap already accepted us. We're aiming for Cryptsy, though. So please send a support ticket to https://cryptsy.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new to help us get accepted.

There is something I would like to know about the POS interest thing. I saw you added different maturation time frames and that's very good. What I would like to know is what are the payout differences between say holding coins for 2 years vs holding coins for 4 years? and how much aid does it take to actually start earning stake?

I was also wondering about how that works too . . . and haven't had time to do much research on the subject.

My main question that I like to add to yours is if interest is compounded and, if it is, on what basis (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly?). Do you stake more staking every 7 days? Or would you stake the same if you only staked one time in one year? Or once every 2 years?


Actually, maturation time and annual interest remain unchanged. We just implemented wider POS target space. The only difference is you will get higher amounts less frequently. The reward you get is based on amount staked and coinage  -> 7 - 90 days. So on the 100th day you'll get a reward for 90 days coinage. After particular amount stakes, the coinage is reset to 0.

We were experiencing some attacks on our pools and were monitoring them 24/7 over ssh, unfortunately PSU on one of our servers blew and disconnected the ssh sessions. Maya and Felix pools are now running again as services, so this will not happen again. Kei will be out of service until Monday.

Thank you for understanding,

Aug 06 11:17 PM It has come to our attention that sgminerwindows.com may have been distributing trojan binaries that steal wallets. We have removed the link from our help page and do not advise anyone to use that site anymore. We will update our help section with a new link for sgminer binaries once we find a reliable source.

https://www.multipool.us/
http://sgminerwindows.com/

The windows version ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=652849 ) posted on the OP and the website are Norton and Panda "approved" - they ARE NOT flagged - and it gets mostly green on VirusTotal https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/9ce17b9b94dfa94b6f91788238438ab58c554fa034e24d7b8183a7c1a3f1f61b/analysis/

Curiously, the bundled sgminer gets more red flags: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/f395b88edb6d65bae2f8850b2b15cf9f0972b14d96ca0b376716fc9dcc2712f8/analysis/

Even if you're running your wallets on a VM, the rest of your wallets would be compromised . . . unless you've got an individual VM for each wallet . . . now that's an idea . . .



I rechecked MD5 hashes and are the same. They should be, since we're using the same grs-sgminer:

sgminer.exe  ->  0e971cdbb0b581ad527c53a8a9f1869d
pthreadGC2.dll -> ac05fbba61f939cd90133032f2595c69
ssleay32.dll -> 612b2747d39d9ef838ab9eacbc1f6c3a
zlib1.dll -> e4d7dd0a413519b21621ccb7d1d78fa4

I suspected as much.

The only thing I can think of to 'explain' why one is flagged and the other isn't is the mere fact that the second is "bundled". How to rectify this? I don't know of a quick answer to that other than contacting the particular AV maker who is flagging the bundled miner (or at least the biggest and best known, like Norton, for exaple).

This is a real issue for people who aren't crypto literate, which translates into just about everyone. Sad



Actually, the miner is not even bundled any more. Installer downloads it as a separate self-extracting 7zip file. The next thing I'll try to do is sign all files with code signing cert. It should improve the score by some margin.

Use VM or Sandbox tools or a dummy machine. Never run wallets outside of them.

Sandbox can be useful, yes. Also, 7-zip can provide quite effective encryption (AES-256), so do zip your sensitive files.

Wow, I've just read this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=721306.msg8232426#msg8232426

Some devs are really something. Guyz, have your wallets encrypted! Smiley

I wish you all the Aidbit devs the greatest possible success.

Especially since I'm one of the trolls who've been spending time and energy in vain.

 Roll Eyes

Thank you, we will do our best! Smiley

Why no mention from the OP how much coins in total?

The above estimations are the best we can do at this time in predicting the total supply.

Regards,

AidBit
i paraphrase: how much blocks?

~1440 blocks/day. No end of POW is set.

my new wallet cant work,why?

wallet of 1.2.01  its ok
 

but wallet of 1.2.2 cant work ,help me?

PM vger888 with details. Nobody else is having problems.

Regards,

AidBit

There is no difference in versions 1.0.2.1 and 1.0.2.2 other than added checkpoint.
Use the fix sync problems option in the installer or manually delete all the files
except wallet.dat in %appdata%/AidBit.

Good morning. Just a quick info: Windows installer now features on demand download of the blockchain, which makes AidBit Setup executable much smaller.

Cheers,

V.

Windows Installer has just been updated. It should fix most browser blocking issues.
Code signing certificate is also of its way to make things even better.

(8 * 22.91746578 / (525600 + 21242) * 525600)

183.33972624 / (546842 * 525600)

183.33972624 / 287420155200 = .00000000063

What do we multiply the .00000000063 number by to get a block reward of 177?

280952380952 * .00000000063 = 176.99999999
Where does that 280952380952 number come from.  Huh

Just having fun and doing my best to understand, but this is not mission critical and requires no immediate attention.   Cheesy


Again, great work you guys!



The difficulty the GetProofOfWorkReward function uses is calculated from nBits using the following function:

Code:
double ConvertBitsToDouble(unsigned int nBits){
    int nShift = (nBits >> 24) & 0xff;

    double dDiff =
        (double)0x0000ffff / (double)(nBits & 0x00ffffff);

    while (nShift < 29)
    {
        dDiff *= 256.0;
        nShift++;
    }
    while (nShift > 29)
    {
        dDiff /= 256.0;
        nShift--;
    }

    return dDiff;
}

Cheers,

Guyz, can't tell you enough how happy I am, thank you very much for holding on, despite issues at start! We've put huge amount of energy into this project and will continue doing so! Smiley

If you want fun releases, go to Aidbit, you have a fork every three minutes...It should be called forkcoin

All forking and synchronization issues have been fixed. Peace! Smiley
78  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][AID] AidBit | Digital-currency redefined | POW/POS | Groestl | Charity on: July 31, 2014, 10:21:14 AM
need  平台!!

What do you mean by platform? Exchange?

hi

possible to force coin swap to use the last good wallet?

my aid are still blocked :/


edit:  the AID "no confirmed" on wallets  are definitly dead?

If they were mined on the wrong blockchain, unfortunately yes. Are you sure you have the latest clean blockchain?
Please PM the screenshot and TX IDs. Try to export the private key. Delete everything and import the key back. (dumpprivkey/importprivkey)

Cheers.

Download either stops or it is blocked by firefox.
I finally arrived with IE by pausing and restart 4 times
20 minutes to download the wallet...I hope this is the last update  Roll Eyes

I just noticed that the new Firefox v. is blocking the download. I will address the issue very soon.
Bandwidth should be sufficient on our side. Of course it is not the last version. Smiley


100mb fiber optic my side, I doubt that the problem comes from me
The flow is good but the download stops

Thank you for the info, will contact the provider.
