There already is a mining pool setup + tested...  That was posted above under "PROGRESS"

so dont worry --- I have been taking the time to ensure everything checks out BEFORE launch...

Everything has been extensively tested. The blockchain has just been reset, and the premined blocks 0-1019
are being premined via the PUR P2POOL right now...  and not straight solo-mined directly

The starting network difficulty at fair launch will be approx 2.0, so pools will be needed.
This is intended to prevent solo-miners and insta-mine.

The PurpleCoin-P2POOL code will also be released at the same time as the wallets.

PurpleCoin should get accepted shortly after the fair launch by some exchanges, but it may require
help from the PUR community to do so --- because only 1 PUR is premined, there cannot be any
bounties offered, nor can exchanges be BRIBED with big premine.

If you check out the specs, the blockchain explorer, and mining pool --- the coin speaks for itself.


The Blockchain explorer & mining pool are ONLINE already, and you can see the premine activity
if you'd like:

you can check them out here:  http://p2pool.neocities.org/PurpleCoin.html

  Preparing for [ANN] the Fair Launch  

 been a little side-tracked with some other stuff,

 basically, just need to finish the 1 PUR premine,
 and then PurpleCoin will be READY! 

For some reason, LTC p2pool says the other LTC peers have invalid shares.....
Perhaps THEIR wallets are old / were not updated.....

Goldmine is running the most recent version of Litecoin wallet + blockchain

Bitcoin & Feathercoin are connected to other p2pool peer nodes + no issues.

AuroraCoin is also connected to other peers + no issues.

also, ISR IsraCoin was added today, upon request

More Coins will be added soon.

(Created with MakeHuman + Blender + Gimp)

INDEED IT IS !


Fair Launch should be [ANN]ounced sometime next week BTW

LOL!  IDK about "Prince" .....

I do listen to all kinds of music....






its all posted on the PREVIEW website,
here -----> http://p2pool.neocities.org/PurpleCoin.html

but here's the specs again:

Specifications:
* Scrypt * Coin Supply = ONLY 2,111,301 Coins!  * Block Target Time = 60 Seconds *
* Generated Coin Maturity = 25 Blocks *  Kimoto Gravity Well retargeting algo *
* Only 1 Coin was premined * Trade Symbol = PUR
* PurpleCoin is NOT a coingen.io or other "BOT" coin

BLOCK REWARDS:
Blocks 1-1019  ( PREMINED ) totals 1.0 PUR
Blocks 1020-6120 = 0.01 PUR / block
Blocks 6121-11020 = 0.25 PUR / block
Blocks 11021-31020 = 0.5 PUR / block
Blocks 31021-131020 = 1 PUR / block
Blocks 131021-1131020 = 2 PUR / block
Blocks 1131021+   =  NO Block Rewards

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
=======================================================

and here's the MAIN.CPP code for those block rewards:



int64 static GetBlockValue(int nHeight, int64 nFees, uint256 prevHash)
{
    int64 nSubsidy = 0;

   if (nHeight < 1131021)
      nSubsidy = 2 * COIN;      // 1000000 blocks @ 2 coins   = 2000000 coins

   if (nHeight < 131021)
      nSubsidy = 1 * COIN;      // 100000 blocks @ 1 coin     =  100000 coins
   
   if (nHeight < 31021)
      nSubsidy = 0.5 * COIN;    // 20000 blocks @ 0.5 coins   =   10000 coins

   if (nHeight < 11021)
      nSubsidy = 0.25 * COIN;   // 5000 blocks @ 0.25 coins   =    1250 coins

   if (nHeight < 6121)
      nSubsidy = 0.01 * COIN;   // 5000 blocks @ 0.01 coins   =      50 coins
      
   if (nHeight < 1020)
      nSubsidy = 0.002 * COIN;  // 1 blocks @ 0.001 coins  =      .002 coin

   if (nHeight < 1019)
      nSubsidy = 0.001 * COIN;  // 998 blocks @ 0.001 coins  =      .998 coin


    if (nHeight < 21)
      nSubsidy = 0.0 * COIN;  // 20 blocks @ 0.0 coins  =       0 coins  



                                          // ================================================
    return nSubsidy + nFees;              // 1,131,000 Blocks with rewards ,  2111301 coins TOTAL
}

static const int64 nTargetTimespan = 1 * 60 * 60; // PurpleCoin: 1 hour
static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 1 * 60; // PurpleCoin: 1 Minute Blocks
static const int64 nInterval = nTargetTimespan / nTargetSpacing; // retarget @ 60 blocks

Making the FINAL PREPARATIONS for [ANN] + FAIR LAUNCH

BlockChain Explorer tested + working  

UPDATED! Preview of PURPLECOIN WEBPAGE is here http://p2pool.neocities.org/PurpleCoin.html

ETA of Official [ANN] is expected to be around April 11, 2014
and Fair Launch should take place around April 13, 2014
48 hrs after the [ANN] has been made....

Source Code will include QT4 .pro files for Linux + Windows Configurations
In addition, there is a .pro file for Fedora (redhat) QT wallet + makefile.fedora for
compiling headless wallet. RedHat distros need openssl-compat-bitcoin libraries
and devel headers installed ( /opt/openssl-compat-bitcoin )

recommend compiling linux/windows QT wallets using QT 4.8.5

a precompiled static x86 windows QT wallet binary will be included
with source code. It was tested on both XP-sp3 x86 & Win7 x64 OSes.

The BLOCKCHAIN has been "deleted" after extensively testing
so fair launch will begin at block 1020 needing to be found.

blocks 1-1019 are being premined now, hashes will be extracted and used
as checkpoints, windows qt binary will be recompiled, and an official
announcement + launch date/time will be made immediately after
the wallets/src code is ready to be released to the public

PurpleCoin ANDROID wallet is being developed, however, it will more than likely be released
in the future, as priority is to focus on finalizing the PurpleCoin website,
and of course, the fair launch itself

Because PurpleCoin virtually has no premine, and Fair Launch will start at 2.0 Difficulty,
there will obviously NOT be any giveways, bounties, etc.

However, the good news is that because of literally only 1 coin premined, a high enough
starting network block difficulty, and small block rewards, when PURPLECOIN gets on
exchanges, there will NOT be large amounts of "dumped" coins

PurpleCoin favors QUALITY, and NOT QUANTITY.

I challenge MINERS to inspect the source code of ALT-COINS before blindly jumping on them...

simply download the source code, and open up the MAIN.CPP file in the SRC folder,
search for nsubsidy....

(nHeight is the variable that represents the BLOCK# that coins are awarded to)

you'll see stuff like this, for example

        int64 nSubsidy = 50;

    if (nHeight == 1)
      nSubsidy = 20000000 * COIN

which translates to BLOCK 1 has a block reward of 20 million coins !!!
other blocks pay only 50 coins

developers claim its for bounties, giveaways, promotions, etc.....
but in reality, that huge premine so often ( almost always ) gets DUMPED on the exchanges....
( aka ScamCoins, Pump-n-Dumps, Sh*tCoins, etc, etc )

So, a coin could be launched with just a few blocks mined by the developers,
leaving you to believe not many coins mined yet based on the block#
but what people don't realize, is that in the src-code, a developer can assign
ANY block he wants, ANY block rewards he wants......
So oh, he launched his coin with only 100 blocks mined ( but you didnt realize he's sitting on 20 Million coins already! )
and even if he does give some away ...   well,   go figure.....

There's too many sh*tcoins and bot-coins coming out

We ( as miners ) need GOOD alt-coins, not premined, and also more difficult to mine as well
so big miners dont solo mine a fortune when the coin is launched.

The idea is to offer a good quality coin that will bring good trade value, without the threat
of pump-n-dump.

With that said,  take it or leave it.

i was mining on the server, but not anymore since it was found to be the cause of freezing up issues....

and yeah, come April, alot of sh-tcoins will be removed from the pools  
will just keep the good coins,  like benjamins and marscoin, etc

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this should be a pretty good alt-coin:

only 1 coin premined
starting diff. 2.0
fair launch
developed from src code -- not coingen.io or "bot" coin

** working on android wallet now

I get sick looking at main.cpp nsubsidies src code of other altcoins
and seeing HUGE premine "hidden" in the code.

Then when those scam coins hit exchanges, that premine gets dumped, and devalues the coin.
guess thats why they are called sh-tcoins!

F-ck!

guess they are gone for good.
wallet still thinks those stuck coins were spent,
probably because they are still stuck in the blockchain with 0 confirms.
that f-cking sucks

i noticed brainwallet has a way to get back BTC,
but apparently not for MRS --- no way to resend raw TX's with higher tx fees. d@mnit

apparently miners have not reported some pools being forked / mandatory wallet updates needed

Digibyte wallet updated & blockchain fixed....

working on updating Coino & Credits wallets/blockchains

and also checking other coin pools for issues now, to see if there are any more forks or wallet updates needed



Also, the 1 LTC will be awarded in approx 10 days!  You can't win if you don't enter

I havent given up yet....

the MRS blockchain explorer shows them STUCK in the blockchain, but 0 confirms
they have been stuck in blockchain for quite some time now

luckily I had a few backups of the wallet.dat

because I had solo mined alot of MRS when it first came out,
what I didnt realize is that there is like 1000's addresses in the wallet:

looks like every solo-mined block used a "new address",
and just dumping the privkeys for the addresses
that showed up using the   getaddressesbyaccout ""   command
must not have listed them all.

using the   listaddressgroupings   command, it revealed ALOT more addresses


I was able to find literally 1000 addresses in a backedup wallet,
but 1000s of addresses is too much work to dump & import keys 1 by 1:

so I wrote some linux bash scripts to save all addresses to a text file,
then another script to mass dump the privkeys of all those addresses to a txt file,
and then another script to mass import all those priv keys into a fresh new wallet.dat

I am resycing the blockchain now to see if the "lost coins" will show back up....
it is also taking a very long time to import 1000s of privkeys, lol

im crossing my fingers and saying my prayers - lol.

I also just lost alot of BEN coins trying to send to cryptsy.....
cryptsy showed them as pending, but still 0 confirms after 48hrs!
but managed to recover them all...
So there still may be some hope for the MRS...


If my Marscoins show back up in my wallet, I will be sending you the LTC bounty for your help :-)

looks like if your coins get stuck in blockchain with 0 confirms due to insufficient fees for miners to confirm / relay TX

you need to immediately use that   listaddressgroupings   command,
and then dump the privkeys for ALL addresses it reports.

stop the wallet client from running
rename wallet.dat to something else,
delete blockchain files
restart wallet client
import all the dumped privkeys
wait for blockchain to download
say a prayer!
and hopefully lost coins will be recovered.

In April 2014, GOLDMINE version 2.0 is coming

* p2pool server version will be updated
* Website will have an updated look
* Web-stats pages will updated also
* some more pools will be retired, but alot of NEW pools will be replacing them.

* There may also be another "give-a-way" to kick-off the new site too

Feathercoin (FTC) is already there

We will be randomly giving away 1 LTC to 1 active miner
sometime between March 24,2014 and March 30, 2014
to enter:  send your entry via the bitmessage support address on the site

use  SUBJECT:  LTC

(1) send your LTC address ( please COPY & PASTE it from your wallet so there is NO errors )
(2) send the POOL you are mining in + your miner's address ( to verify eligibility )

If we receive multiple LTC addresses for the SAME miner address, that address will
be disqualified. So please don't use someone else's miner address to try to enter.

We will take the top 6 most active miners, each being assigned a number 1 thru 6.
their LTC addresses will be posted in this post below.

using a virtual dice, we will eliminate an LTC address ( associated to #1 thru 6 ) one roll at a time...
until only 1 ADDRESS remains....  That address will be sent 1 LTC

Good Luck!



GoldMine P2POOLs was created around the beginning of 2014....

and started out as a BETA

Many miners have made ALOT of coins using it....

But I admit there has been some issues with reguards to reliability:

It turned out recently that the Server had a defective AMD GPU ( R9-290 series )
and was randomly freezing up the server when GPU mining on same server....

At first I though it was the Power Supply...  but turned out to be the GPU!

The R9-290 was removed last week, and the server has not froze once since.

Apparently, the r9 series were rushed out of China with defects, come to find out

With the defective r9-290 removed, and no mining on the p2pools server,
the pools are now stable and reliable.

and BTW, you will NOT want to miss the Fair Launch of PurpleCoin,
it is being extensively tested BEFORE release to ensure quality

Also, several 'inactive' pools have been removed, + some new coins & updates coming up soon.

The p2pools are ONLINE and stable now. Some Major updates & changes will happen in April 2014.

also, EUROCOIN has just been updated to the NEW wallet

Eurocoin had to release a NEW wallet....
unfortunately due to a bug, the new wallet is on a NEW blockchain
and coins were lost on old blockchain.

The new wallet address starts with 'E' now

The Developers had just contacted me with this important update.

NEW source code is here:  https://github.com/Eurocoin-EUC/Eurocoin

The EUC P2POOL is using the NEW wallet + Blockchain
and is ONLINE.

BTW, this was the VERY FIRST mining pool created for EUC,
and was awarded the 25K EUC bounty

( Goldmine P2POOLs is just a host mining pool, and not part of the development of Eurocoin )


Please get the NEW wallet, resync to NEW blockchain,

then mine some 'good' EUC here:
