It's a tricky one because, at the moment, this coin is fairly and squarely aimed at geeks and miners, there's not a lot to entice non-crypto types into the fold.

We should look at other coins and see how they have done it, BC and DRK are probably good examples to look at. We should also look at AIR to see how not to do it.

Edit:

Ok, Myriad's big thing is security, how do we bring that to the fore? Could we maybe get a uni's math or computer department involved? Some kind of hacking competition? If we think MYR is secure, we should put it to the test - shows confidence and transparency. I'm just throwing this out, it's prolly a crap idea.

I've just seen myriad's responses to your tweet, I'm a bit disappointed.

They seem to think that any publicity is hype which is ridiculous and will lead to the slow death of this coin when another takes the same ideas of MYR, but actually promotes it and lets the world know it exists. Remember also that this is a declining market at the moment, so time is literally running out.

They are actively trying to hide the existence of Myriad and it is only a matter of time before someone else takes the initiative to build a similar, but successful coin.

Guys, this coin is a cool idea, but it's just a technical exercise between geeks at the moment - it stands no chance of success if it's not promoted to real people and fresh hands are enticed in.

In this way it reminds me of aircoin, lots of brains but little interest in marketing and , like aircoin, time will run out.

Is anyone working on a media push?

Probably gonna mine this, just because of the proof of hate thing

I claim my free coins also, thanks.

Just wanted to mention that I have just had the fastest support response ever from cryptorus.com whilst mining on their skein pool.

Recommended. 

So what do you want?

The biggest problem for all coins is a real-world use.

People need to get off the technicalities, which only interest a few, and make a real, genuine marketing push.

The coin with the best marketing is going to win, real people don't give a shit which algo was used to create the blocks.

How are you going to trade when there are no miners to deal with transactions?

If you make too many coins you will end up on the XPM exchanges and ignored. It needs to be tradeable with BTC.

I get the point ok, but it still needs to be viable.

That would mean mining is stupid, not stoopid.

Over and out.

Am I right that all coins will be mined in a week?

How will the network run after then?

Pool showing 0.06 diff

Wallet showing 2.x diff

CGminer showing 19 diff

 

Diff is all over the place, forked?

OK, seems to have settled now.....

 Ah, right, I mis-understood when he said he'd not found any blocks.  

OK, as simply as I can, assuming you have a ATI gpu capable of running the software.:

Go and register on one of the pools on the OP, then set up a worker on the pool.

Then download cgminer and put it on the desktop. Get the one compatible with litecoin, later versions of cgminer do not support scrypt which is the algo used in EFL

Go to the getting started page on your pool and copy and paste the line for cgminer into a file called start.bat in the cgminer folder on your desktop, it will look something like this:

./cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://emc2.suprnova.cc:3366 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password (Don't use this line, use the line on the pool.)

Change:

./cgminer to cgminer.exe

weblogin.worker to your worker name on the pool.

Worker pasword to your password

save it and then double click it, cgminer should start, albeit prolly quite slowly.

You then need to "tune" your gpu, do a search for litecoin hardware comparison and work it out from there.

The reason they tend not to put instructions in the OP is because different systems need different settings and it won't be long before the thread just turns into a hardware thread rather than a coin thread.

Are you trying to solo?

If you are, you are out of luck (diff is somewhere around 20) unless you have pretty monstrous hash power.

Better to use pools now.

Stratum is up.

Edit:

Errrr, it looks like 28 hours for coins to confirm on this pool, is that right?

Edit edit:

Pool just found first block.

Can't connect to stratum, signed up no problem.

Not likely you'll get anything, I have 6mh/s + and not found a block for 50+ mins.

Wait for the pool and practice solo'ing on a coin with a really low diff.

Truth be told, unless you have quite a bit of hashrate, you've missed this one for solo'ing - dev says there is a pool on the way
