From barwizi- if i wanted to dump, even on cryptsy, the kinds of volume i have would empty all the buy orders. but the things is people look at 3 things when they mine now, 1) coinchoose ratings, 2) difficulty 3) cryptsy price.
you have none of the above, worse this coins looses miners everyday. inactivity will kill this coin.
even if this coin went to exchange in two years, i'd still have my 150k, i'd dump it in a day and still it would crash.
i support all idea backed altcoins, this is one of them. i'd hate to see it fail because you guys think it's different. it's a alt coin, let it do what alt coins do. phenix nearly died if it wasn't for our pushing it on to market. if this coin has value it will show it at market. not on google docs exchange were people rob each other blind.
From Petr1fied -
Also I'd love for it to have some tangible use outside of gambling, with a name like GameCoin it could be used for selling games online so I'm going to look into setting up a payment API like that used on bitchain.info where it forwards the payment from a temporary address to the users own address for a minimal fee. I'm pretty sure I could come up with a service like this.
Maybe Petr1fied knows a few things already. I want to wait for the hard fork after the coin is actually stable. The difficulty needs to be adjusted more quickly. We need to establish a base for use other than gambling. Maybe an in-game currency like FaceBook Credits. And if anyone knows about alt-coins, BrewCrewFan is also high on the list. Take heed on what these main posters in this topic have to say. Furthermore, I find it hard to believe that you care about this coin at all; 18 pages in this post and you started on page 16. If I view your previous posts they include nearly every alt coin there is. If you really want to bring value to this coin make a post and start giving away the GME in your wallet since they seem to be burning a hole in your computer.  -PoolMinor Yeah, I'm getting out of the slot machine business as soon as We complete our other services and I come up with some other "game-ish" way to distribute GameCoins to the masses. I'm considering maybe buying up a couple Steam codes or something and selling them for GME. An important thing to remember is that value isn't only determined by how easy it is to obtain a coin, but also what it can actually be used for. Most "successful" alts obtain value once they hit an exchange, because at that point they can be exchanged for money and/or BTC. If there were not only games distributing coins, but also accepting them as payment, this would increase appeal. I'm working on an easy-to-implement payment system that will make it easy for users to make deposits/purchases with GME and any other coin in their alt-co.in wallet. Hopefully stuff like this will get more developers on board with alt-coins, meaning more purchases for end-users, and more desirability for all supported coins. In the mean time, if anyone's got a game or anything that they need help integrating with GameCoin, give me a shout and I'll see if I can assist. In other news, we're going ahead with the difficulty fork in the next couple days. It will be set to kick in after a thousand blocks or so, that way there's a bit of wiggle room as far as updating clients and daemons. |

It was well and truly dead when we started with it. It's now an undead coin. I don't think there's any benefit to trying to get it to an exchange until we at least have the new difficulty algorithm in place. We'll just end up with it getting pumped to a stupid difficulty by those who want to dump it and then be back at square one. Also I'd love for it to have some tangible use outside of gambling, with a name like GameCoin it could be used for selling games online so I'm going to look into setting up a payment API like that used on bitchain.info where it forwards the payment from a temporary address to the users own address for a minimal fee. I'm pretty sure I could come up with a service like this.  We've got a similar service in the work for alt-co.in. We're considering dropping the slot machine now that the escrow is in place, and we've got the payment API and Exchange on the way. and I agree. I personally would love to see GameCoin as in-game rewards, or used for in-game purchases. Something interactive like that would be cool as hell. |

Excellent, responsive trade.
stevenlam agreed to use our new, in-development escrow service, and using an unfamiliar site to trade can represent significant risk.
This guy is definitely legit!

Thanks, I'll take a look later on when I'm free. so we were thinking have it kick in at next difficulty adjust? That would also give people a bit of wiggle room as far as when they upgrade. |

AMAZING work ladies and gents! So now the big question: Do you guys want me to implement to new difficulty algorithm, or should we just let it ride for now and see how things go? I'm fine with whichever.
|

|

Whoah, hold on now, instead of creating a new failed coin, you decided to revive one? Did we run out of names???
ironically enough, I actually decided to adopt this abandoned coin because of the name. So basically, yeah. |

If someone gives me code for a faucet, I'll put in on the web right next to the pool and block explorer :-)
+1. Anyone else love this guy? Also, my slots output 0.05 GME per spin regardless of bet amount, as a way of sort of spreading the amount of gamecoin in circulation around to people. Hoping maybe if they notice they have some, they'll take interest. I like the idea of spreading the coin around, but we could be a little more creative than a faucet. Maybe very small, very simple games that take 30 seconds or so to play through and reward a small amount of GME? We are GameCoin afterall, let's get a little fancy  That being said, if anyone needs help implementing GME micro-rewards into a small game, I'm more than happy to help out. One of the keys to a valuable coin is to make sure that there are a lot of people holding a small amount, to keep interest/awareness/demand high. |

Well our original plan was to fork at 20060 but we'll probably hit that in a few hours. How about we carry on to the proper difficulty adjustment at block 20160 and at that point we implement your new difficulty algorithm. Do you think you can be ready to go in 2 days jayo89?
Oh my finger's on the trigger, as soon as everyone wants the new algorith and we habve someone available to compile the QT on short notice, I'm ready whenever. |

Looking at the pool stats we may not even need a new fork. We should hit block 20160 it 2 days if we keep it up. Then we can have the next 2160 blocks at low difficulty and keep it under out hats seeing as there is very little interest right now. Although in saying that a better difficulty adjustment algorithm would prevent this happening again in future. The 2016 block difficulty adjust seems to be the kiss of death for too many a coin these days. The fact that so many coins have identical difficulty adjusts is a symptom of the problem...lazy developers who aren't developing, just cloning litecoin and hoping to cash in. I'll Hold off for now on the form and see how things progress past the mark, because it looks like that's what everyone wants (feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken). Though I do agree a difficulty algorithm adjustment would keep the coin stable and prevent this issue in the future, even at exceptionally low hashrates. Though I've picked up development, I still consider this a community coin so majority essentially rules as far as what stuff I do/don't implement. |

183 blocks to go..
Is there anyway the dev's can change the block reward from 1000 to 100 or so? Seems like 1000 will provide waaay to much GME, which I think will stop it having any real value.
Changing the block reward inline can be messy and runs a lot of risks. Plus that would unbalance everything since it would mean that all coins currently in circulations would've been easier to get, it could drive new miners away from the coin, feeling they are at an unfair disadvantage. It could also lead to accusations of pre-pumping the coin to get a bunch out into a few hands early, then reducing the block reward to increase the coin value. |

By the way guys, I've transferred 50,000 GME to the house account on my Blackjack site. Special offer for people who post in this thread only. Visit the site and tell me the deposit wallet address it gives you here: And I'll credit the account with 200 GME which you can gamble to potentially gain more or just withdraw it to your own GME wallet. It's entirely up to you. Please note the site is session based so you'll need to keep it open in your browser until your account has been credited and you've cashed out.Also, this 200 GME credit offer is only open to people posting in this topic. I have offered lesser amounts in other topics. +1 All of you, seriously, good job. Everyone's really pulled together to lift up this abandoned coin. Alright, as we approach the new difficulty adjustment, we're going to be implementing a more agile difficulty adjustment algorithm that will prevent GameCoin from having these issues in the future. This will also lessen the impact of many miners jumping on at once on an easy difficulty and racking up large amounts of coins, so distribution between miners will be more fair and more profitable for loyal, regular miners. What I need is any and all site owners, pool operators, major miners, etc to contact me via PM so we can co-ordinate the re-launch together and make sure nobody winds up with bad blocks. After this point, any other GameCoin users should update their wallet with the new client which will be provided at launch time. This will guarantee you stay on the correct (faster, more stable) blockchain, and that all balances and transactions will remain accurate. |

Bump for interest. I'm having trouble compiling for mac as well.

DGC and LTC are supported on the automated Escrow Service at http://alt-co.inJust an FYI |
|
|
|
|
Back up, DigitalCoin and WorldCoin are now available in the Slot Machine and Escrow Service!
|
|
|
|
|
We now support DigitalCoin and WorldCoin!
|
|
|
|
|
Note that we will be down for the next hour or so adding a few more coins. Looks like DigitalCoin and WorldCoin are up first!

I've just launched our new automated escrow service over on alt-co.in. This will allow traders of alt-coins a safe middle-ground for trading funds directly from thier alt-co.in portfolios (That's right, we aren't just a slot machine anymore!)- Save time trying to find a trustworthy middleman
- don't take risks trading your coins, an escrow service ensures everything goes smoothly
- trades are done with the coins in your alt-co.in portfolio, so trades are instant!
- Low 0.4% fee per trade. You'd be hard-pressed to find a human escrow at that rate
- Support for LTC, FTC, YAC, WDC, DGC, GME, BQC, BTB, CNC. More to be added in the next few days based on demand.
Keep your eyes peeled as we will also be launching out exchange in the next week or so. |

I'm adding these to our DNS seed (dnsseed.iionsolutions.com) right now, so hopefully that'll fix some connection issues! (Seems I used the wrong domain for the DNS seed in the source, so the new seed addresses will have to wait for the next major update (hopefully in the next day or so) |

is the peer dns working on the unofficial fork? i think i should give up on this  @MitchB nope, i tried restarting it, it still doesn't work. thanks anyway. I have a secondary peer DNS built into the new fork, I just need people who can keep solid nodes running to give me thier addresses to add to it. Looks like we're going to be doing a hard fork and changing the difficulty algorithm from here on out, rather shortly. At that point the invading blockchain will be entirely incompatible with our own, and the coin will be much more responsive to changes in network hashrate. |
|

|

As soon as someone gets ahold of tyrion and he's standing by for one more QT compile, we're going to go ahead and stabilize the coin by increasing the difficulty-change frequency.
This will stablilize coin output, even at very low hashrates.
EVERYONE will need to upgrade in order to stay on the blockchain, and ensure your future minings are valid.
