Kendra, any update on if or when a new merged mining attempt will be made?

Hi,i invested 0.5b,comfirmed please.  +1 this. Some feedback on receiving the ICO funds by placebo, and a simple PM with a confirmation would be nice. |

Poor spoetnik didn't expect that.  |

Or you could just find coins on a map. *  * also:  |

0.05 should get 1 seed imo.   |

0.8.99.14 does not sync after 8-NOV. Added all recommended addnodes
Do not use 0.8.99.14! (It's the merged version, that got a rollback, because the pools didn't update in time) Use 0.8.99.13 or 0.8.99.15. Then why not to correct the link on skeincoin.org ? The skeincoin.org version is 0.8.99.13. (skeincoinwin089913.zip) That's the one you need. |

Nice!
Happy skeinniversary !

Also Hi.

 Geofaucets preview. (if you want to see more, pm me or visit #skeincoin once in a while) I treat 9 mln already mined coins in this situation as premine.
Someone have them and will dump if price rises.
Why? Skc was always mineable publicly. And I for one won't sell my skc, because I need it as a security against eventual loss of coins. |

With current price of 30 (lets say 100) sat mining with diff 2000 would be worthless for miners. Additional benefit of mining not just myriad but myriad+skc would be 1 cent per day. Even doesn't worth the time spent on changing configs. If the price for some mystic reason rises enough then we expect dump of 1 year premine - up to 8 mln SKC.
- Price is irrelevant until SKC has utility
- Diff is high when you have a secure network, this is priority #1 for any altcoin
- "Additional benefit of mining not just myriad but myriad+skc" is not some arbitrary price on a given fiat currency, is just the network security
- This coin doesn't has a premine, dunno understand your reasoning on that respect. I know who has almost 10% of the currency and he won't dump
That was also the reasoning in the meeting, last sunday. At a difficulty of < 10 there would to be much need for frequent checkpoints. And merging with the myriad-skein chain would help distribution for both coins. But it would also help the use of skeinbased chains. Also there is no premine, Bolvan bringing that up is rather funny. [bolvan 56508 1,465,047 skc] ( https://www2.coinmine.pl/skc/index.php?page=statistics&action=blockfinder ). At the time of this post there is 9,131,744 Skein mined. (sold some he ) <RedKendra> i'll start on the merge mining changes. we'll set a hard fork point for say 2 weeks after the release. 2 weeks should be enough for everyone to upgrade i reckon |

* gielbier just shrugs, and keeps miners mining. |

If we decide to merge mine with Myriad coin, we will only merge mine with the Skein algorithm of Myriadcoin, so in that sense it won't be much different from other merge mining.
I'm going to hold off on the rest of my response (I still have concerns), but can you give me (and probably others on here) a better idea of how the merge mining would work? I assume you're talking about Namecoin-style merge mining ( http://dot-bit.org/Merged_Mining) where SKC is the auxiliary blockchain. Would we have to choose in advance which coin(s) will be the parent blockchain? If so, can this be changed in the future without a new hard fork? From a quick reading, it looks like it might be possible for solo miners to use *any* coin as the parent coin, as long as that coin has the same basic structure and POW algorithm. This is why there's no need to put all the intricacies of Myriad into the Skeincoin code - the validity of the parent header isn't checked. Do I have this right or am I off base? I know I said I'd hold off on the rest of my response, but as a preview I want to add this: I want Skeincoin to be a great coin, not just get a short term boost. There's no point putting effort into improving this coin to only make a few hundred bucks. I'm glad we've heard from you and that you haven't abandoned Skeincoin, Red Kendra. Yes, it is like Namecoin merge mining with Bitcoin. We will have to make a hard-fork in Skeincoin to add aux-pow. It can then be merge mined with any coin that uses the Skein hashing algorithm, so we won't be tied to one coin. We can actually merge mine with multiple coins at the same time, as long as they all use the Skein hash. People will still be able to mine Skeincoin without merge mining if they choose to do so, but the difficulty will be higher than it is now. We won't need to implement any of the multi-algo features of Myriadcoin, we see Myriadcoin as just another Skein coin and ignore the other algorithms. To be honest, i'm a bit hesitant on merged mining with myriad-skein. If ppl don't care about skeincoin and they merge mine skc and blatantly dump on the market, it could pose some problems on profitability, but it might solve the distribution problem. I'm currently still working on something to get distribution going (geofaucets) but thats still not at the level i want it to be to release it. I propose a meeting on the subject |

Should Skeincoin be hard-forked to allow merged mining with other Skein coins, most notably Myriadcoin?
For those not familiar with merged mining, it allows two coins to be mined at the same time using a special pool.
Opinions welcome.
It would be good for the network. I have seen difficulty at 2. |

 and "buy on rumor sell on news" seem to apply on ltcd lately. |

Yeah, skeincointipbot added to #skeincoin |

maybe time/ip lock the 25 free doge. What fun is playing, if you can not loose? /offtopic: This is the second time I see this implementation of the "gifts" in xxxCoinDice stuff. (First time was on an NLG spin). But 25x 99x odds, and being able to repeat that time after time again, seems like a really bad idea |

It's not dead if you can still buy the socks... can you?  Probably. But I think I fixed most off the bugs on something nice which integrates skeincoin, so well not dead. |
|

importprivkey ofc.
Sounds like a good idea, would you create a tutorial on this? There looks like a lot of Dutch people buying NLG that are new to cryptos so they will need help understanding paperwallet. To be honest, it's not hard. in every xxcoin-qt you got the console. and if you type importprivkey "YOURPRIVATEKEY" "label", it will just show up in your wallet . (some qt's are a bit annoying, and you need to do it twice to make it pop up) |
