This happens when your daemon isnt working. If you are using a local daemon restart it if you are using a remote daemon maybe try a different one.

Looks pretty normal those green messages just report your current hashrate.


I added a linux tutorial to the documentation https://celestial-cash.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

Also I will release an update for the GUI Walle later tonight I have been fixing a few small issues over the past few days.

At times the difficulty can be hard but our coin's difficulty will fluctuate no matter the number of miners. Our coin has a cycle based difficulty, in other words the difficulty will get hard for a few hours then get easy for the next few hours no matter the number of miners. At the moment Celestial's main use is to mine but big picture our goal is to be as decentralized as possible and by only allowing solo mining with CPU's that achieves our goal.

Our coin is pool resistant which relates back to our goal of making it as difficult as possible for one body to even control a small percent of the network. Decentralization is the priority.


I have created a documentation here that includes Windows guides for nodes and mining: https://celestial-cash.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. I will expand upon the documentations contents over the next few weeks.

There has been a large request for OTC trading so I have added a trading channel in the discord. There is a list of escrow agents I recommend but do not endorse also in the discord.

celc.cryptoknight.space:18236 has been down a lot and I have removed it from the public node list on the Bitcoin Talk page and website. I apologize for any problems the node caused you. I do not personally run any public nodes but I just tested the other 2 options and they work. Please use one of the following:
celc.pubnodes.com:18236
crypto9coin.cf:8236

The GUI Wallet was set to use celc.cryptoknight.space:18236 as the default remote node which seems to have been down for awhile. I updated it to use celc.pubnodes.com:18236 instead. You can download the new version here: https://github.com/CelestialCash/GUIWallet/releases/tag/v0.1.3/.

I am working on a wiki right now and will add it to the links on the main post when its done. Can you send me some more info or screenshots though regarding your problem? I check BitcoinTalk once or twice a day or you could join the discord or telegram.


I do not have receiving messages from newbies off but if you are going to send an advertisement please don't bother. If you need help regarding the project I would be happy to help though.

Ok I did a little bit of investigating and the owner of celc.cryptoknight.space:18236 said he had to update some software on his node and it was down for about an hour. It should be working great now. Also for the miner please use "--daemon-address celc.cryptoknight.space:18236" instead of "--daemon-host". The "--daemon-host" one only is for the IP. If you want to use "--daemon-host" you would also have to add "--daemon-rpc-port".

Basically to get your miner working replace "--daemon-host celc.pubnodes.com:18236" with "--daemon-address celc.cryptoknight.space:18236".

the error looks like celc.pubnodes.com:18236 is down. that is a community run node and i have no access to it. i suggest you try celc.cryptoknight.space:18236 i tested that just now

Your first question was about the goal of the coin. To summarize, the goal is to create a coin that is as distributed as possible. One that makes it so no single person has too much of a mining advantage over others and two it makes the coin much more secure and less prone to 51% attacks. As of now this is our main goal but as time goes on we will obviously create new goals and expand the usage of the coin. You can read the description on the first post of this announcement so you can get more info on this.

Your second question was about the premine. I have got many other requests for transparency of the use of the premine. So I just added an item to the FAQ explaining the use of the premine a few minutes ago. I have also added a premine tracking website to the timeline, it should be out in the near future.



I'm sorry to here you both are having problems with getting blocks. First of all, the way the coin works is that the difficulty fluctuates harder and easier no matter the hashrate. This makes our coin less prone to any problems with sudden changes in the networks behavior like a large increase of miners in a short period of time. A full cycle takes normally a few hours. Second of all, the miners where having connection problems to the network yesterday and I had to release a patch to fix the problem if you do not have version 1.2.2.1 you can download it here: https://github.com/CelestialCash/Celestial/releases/tag/v1.2.2.1/. It has resolved these issues. If you are still having problems after these suggestions I suggest to delete your blockchain folder and sync with the network again or use a remote node which you can find in the FAQ. Some have found this was required after the patch.

For anyone that is still confused on how this coin works, how to use it, or what the point is I am currently making a whitepaper that hopefully addresses some questions most people still have.

A community member has also created a public node now too that you can use if you do not want the whole blockchain on your computer.

If you use a command to start your miner add "--daemon-address celc.pubnodes.com:18236" at the end of the command.

If you use the windows batch file download the following, place it in your Celestial directory, open it in a text editor, replace the wallet address with your own, save it then double click it.

Download: https://ufile.io/z0ft7/

There is also a Tor node with the address 5u345btt4fxgl277.onion:18236

In the near future I will make a more user friendly mining option.

What? I don't get what your saying! Is there a problem I am not aware of? Do you have screenshot or someway I can see or recreate the problem if there is one.

GUI Wallet released download here: https://github.com/CelestialCash/GUIWallet/releases/tag/v0.1.1/.

Please update your client to the newest version here: https://github.com/CelestialCash/Celestial/releases/. There was a patch for this released earlier today.


You should have received 500 CELC. Thank you!

Seems like it works for me but heres a new one for you: https://discord.gg/HzS9UdU/.


Part of how our coin works is that the difficulty and miners hashrate will fluctuate in large ups and and downs even if the amount of miners stays the same. It has a cycle based difficulty. If you look on our block explorer here: http://explorer.celestial.cash/ you can see the fluctuation in difficulty in the chart. This makes it so sudden changes in the networks behavior or hashrate don't cause any problems.


There will be a whitepaper later this week.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention I will add the Dutch translation back to the bounty list and will verify the completion of translations more carefully.

I updated the description on the main post to be more detailed. If you still have questions I would happy to answer them just leave another reply.

Both paid thank you for your translations.

Celestial is completely ASIC, GPU, and pool resistant. If you want to mine you will need to use a CPU and the solo miner you can download the files here: https://github.com/CelestialCash/Celestial/releases.

By doing this we limit the control a single body can hold.
