Prime numbers are NOT at the "core of cryptography", though there has been some use of them in the past.

It's an interesting question. It seems people who know the most about cryptography gravitate towards using prime numbers. Might well be more than you think to it.

The wallet from https[Suspicious link removed] does not sync.

The wallet from http://marscoin.org/latest/marscoin-wallet.zip syncs but start with the chain from http://108.61.216.160/cryptochainer.chains/chains/Marscoin_blockchain.zip

Very fast actually https://novaexchange.com/addnodes/MARS/

Chain is almost synched but every few minutes I get that.

Do I have the wrong block at that height and should redownload?

Always same hash and block 406.

Not entirely clear if it's accurate but the github seems to go back to the early days of bitcoin pre lite and name coins. If that's accurate then there are some adequate coders who have watched the coin economy for a while and are pouncing. It will all boil down to what features the coin has. It is heavily premined, which is probably irrelevant, even a distraction if the github dates are accurate. Will be interesting to watch.

I don't really understand this coin. In my opinion (and I have also been thinking about how a cryptocurrency on Mars should work before I found this one), a cryptocurrency on mars SHOULD BE STARTED ON MARS. Not on earth. That makes much more sense, and also with such short block time it is going to be very hard to keep copies of the block chain both on mars and on earth. If there is mining on both planets the blockchain would easily branch into two copies, right? Moreover, mining takes a lot of electricity which will be scarce on mars, it would make more sense to have a proof of stake coin.

I like the idea of thinking about a cryptocurrency on mars, but I don't think (and also don't hope) it will be marscoin.

Do you know some people on Mars who can start a cryptocurrency there? Maybe this coin more for publicity. Only 4 million coins on the exchange and synch is difficult so it does look like a temporary pump but Mars is a popular theme now and could attract the public.

Kittehcoin team..

I have a big problem, I think I lost all my Kittehcoins.

Yesterday I paniced because the Kittehcoin team said all the coins have to be stored in the wallet for the Hard-Fork of today. So I downloaded the wallet but it wasn't synced. Thanks to shtako I got the wallet syncing but this morning it still wasn't on 50%. So I tried to take a short cut to be on time for the Hard-Fork with the bootstrap.dat and removed all the earlier data and files.

But before I tried the bootstrap, I had already sent the coins to the wallet and backed up the wallet. When I tried the bootstrap I also deleted these backed up files, so now I'm afraid I lost all my coins. The new wallet doesn't show the address that I sent my coins to from cryptopia. What can I do now?


The worst of all is that I read on cryptopia this morning that I could leave the coins on the exchange for the Hard-Fork.. So thanks Kittehcoin team for losing all my money.

Just go to your wallet.dat file and save it. As long as you have the wallet.dat it doesn't matter if you synched. You sent the coins to 'address a' and your wallet.dat has the key for that address.  

If you deleted your old wallet.dat then look in your recycle bin and try to restore it. Never send coins to a wallet until you have backed it up. If you don't have a thumb drive then you can have the wallet dump the private key and you can write it on a paper.

Reminder…
This is just a quick reminder to move your KittehCoin off the exchanges before Dec 24.  (#cryptopia #novaexchange) Lynx goes live on Dec 24 when it forks from KittehCoin. If you possess Kitteh before the 24th, then you’ll possess Lynx on the 24th (1:1). However, if your Kitteh is on an exchange before the fork, then you won’t.

Please spread the word. We don’t want to leave anyone behind!

You do not want to have coins on the exchange. Coins that are not on the exchange will become Lynx.
