This is something that catches my eye.  How many zerocoins are you staking?  There's some debugging options we can turn on to look at what's going on under the hood.

It's known that too many zerocoins takes too long to grind through all the staking calculations, so if you have too many for your system, then you might miss out; by the time you find a winning hash, the next block is already found.  For some systems that number of zerocoins is 1000; I know for my raspberry pi, I see performance impacts when I exceed 200 or so denoms.

There are also some orphan cleanup algorithms that have been improved in the v1.1 release; so I strongly recommend you upgrade [definitely upgrade before the fork on the 31st], and you may find better results.

Feel free to PM me for more discussion; or contact me on our discord.

Disabling zeromint will tell your wallet to not mint zerocoins from the coins you receive (by default it would).  You can read much more information on zerocoins, especially anything written by Pivx, to understand more fully what zerocoins are for.  But basically it looks like a transfer of your coins to the zerocoin address; and you end up with an IOU of sorts.  You can then cash in that IOU by telling the zerocoin system to send out your zGMCN to an address.  It is extremely difficult to connect the zerocoin you minted to the zerocoin you spent; promoting significant privacy.

The numbers we have been considering is raising the reward from 18 to 24 per block, and changing the split from 80/20 to 60/40; so the end result would be no change for the masternode owner, but miners would go from 3.24 to 8.64.  Of course that would effect the time until max supply; but what are your thoughts from a miner perspective?

For the masternode owner it is good; for the miner, not so good.  We have been discussing making adjustments that minimize the impact of any changes in percentage to the masternode owner, while also providing more incentive for the miners.  As we have seen multiple times in the past month... miners are essential to the stability of the network.

To your question, don't always look at the percent of the reward, but also the amount of the reward compared to the block time and the max supply of the coin.  For example, some coins out there look amazing at the surface, but when you think about it a little, it's really "too good to be true".  For example, a coin that gives 90% to the MN and 10% to the miner may have network issues if the miners all leave.  Combine that with a high payout, like 20% of the master node collateral for a block reward looks promising, but if you do the math it could turn out that is only sustainable for a couple months before the max coin cap is reached.

There is a balance that is necessary to keep both the miners and the masternode owners happy for a long life of the coin.  This often is not nearly as attractive as some of the coins that are out there; but that balance is necessary for a long stable life of the coin.

Thank you big_daddy.

I think it's important to add that the original developers made an announcement of abandonment with a 48 hour window for questions.  The coin was dead; and dropped to 1 satoshi very quickly.  So anyone saying the coin is worth less now... is just FUD. 

3 of us, with no prior affiliation, banded together to lead a community takeover.  None of us were planning on taking it over, but we had 48 hours to jump in and keep the coin from completely going dead.

Yes, it's been a few weeks now, and we still don't have full control of things yet.  There is plenty that we would love to do (exchanges, listings, giveaways, etc) but we pretty much have zero budget.  We are now a grassroots movement and 100% volunteers.  Everyone has a say in the direction, everyone has a stake in volunteering.

Yes, we don't have a formulated business plan, road map, team of developers, yada yada yada.  But we have the coin still alive; almost a month after it's death announcement.

So I won't accept anyone bitching about our progress.  If you don't like what you're seeing, I'll personally buy your coins for the 1 satoshi it bottomed out at when we stepped in.  If you don't like what you're seeing, step up and volunteer and join us.  If you just want to complain about the people that are bringing the coin back from the brink, and not have patience as we sort this out... there's a gazillion other coins out there, and we won't bat an eye at your departure, because we have much more important things to do for Idapay then to worry about anyone's armchair judgement.

Highcoin has started it's upward path of staking rewards!  I'm very excited we have reached the point of 750% APR!  Such a great coin and a great community; you really should check out the discord community at: https://discord.gg/f2DVqYh .  It's a great time to get in!

Make sure you set up your sentinel in your crontab.  An auto-restart of idapay may be helpful too.  I see you're in new_start_required so it sounds like you need to start it again on your vps and then start again in your wallet.

We have a lot we need to wrap our hands (and heads) around before we adjust the timeline and roadmap. 

Privacy is a common theme among new generations of blockchains; so that is only a foundation for the Kryptonium Project.  There are numerous features that bring need to everyday life; smart contracts, mobile mining, atomic swaps.  However the existing coins tackle only portions of these verticals.

Kryptonium is positioned on a solid base of privacy and a fundamental goal of regaining the privacy that we have given up in our participation with the Internet.  Kryptonium adds value with the smart contracts and atomic swaps; making it very powerful for many potential use cases.  However that doesn't quite bring it down to your specific question... business and everyday life:

That is where the true mobile mining comes in, and the Vanta debit card.  There are significantly more people with smart phones in the world then those with access to modern banking.  The debit card, in conjunction with the mobile wallet and mobile mining, brings the ability for anyone with a smart phone to earn KRYP tokens, and use KRYP tokens anywhere they could use a debit card.  With the ability to have tokenized smart contracts (similar to ethereum's 3rd party tokens), this expands these capabilities to a much wider audience, with exponential growth of use cases.

Yes, 90% of the coins will be mined; starting after the crowd sale.

I make no promises or guarantees.  However as an investor with a vested interest in Idapay, myself and some others have offered to have the reins handed over to us.  This comes with no guarantees or promises; only hope.  If the original team is not agreeable to handing the reins to us, there are other things that can be done... a fork and a continuation.  Of course if we go that route we will likely have to rebrand as we won't have the website or other things identified by "Idapay"; but for now let me just refute "nothing we can do".  We have some options and I'm hoping to bring this coin to the control of the community.

More in a few days.

The source code is forked off monero as the development base.  It has a different development path then the other coins like verge and zcash; with a more user friendly approach, as well as ringCT and smart contracts just to name a few things.  Do you mean when can you do mobile mining regarding the timeline of the project; or when during the day?  If the latter, it's designed to be done in the background while your phone is plugged in.

Unfortunately exchanges require Non Disclosure Agreements while you are in discussions with them; so we will not be able to announce any of those plans until they are officially released.  Price speculation is also something outside of our control; we can only focus on the tech and partnerships to promote mass adoption; the price will follow

К сожалению, обмены требуют соглашений о неразглашении, в то время как вы обсуждаете с ними; поэтому мы не сможем объявить ни один из этих планов, пока они официально не будут опубликованы. Ценовая спекуляция также является чем-то вне нашего контроля; мы можем сосредоточиться только на технологиях и партнерских отношениях для содействия массовому усыновлению; цена будет следовать

Your tokens will be delivered to the paper wallet you specified with the bot when you registered; after the end of the crowd sale.  The airdrop will run until June 30th, or until the allotted 180,000 KRYP is accounted for... whichever comes first.

As answered here on the 22nd, The main reason is due to early mining during the crowdsale, we don't want that to happen so we are releasing the GUI wallets right when crowdsale ends. Now that being said, we are using paper wallet over web wallets for security purposes. This was the method we thought would be most secure and would allow for no mining while crowdsale is in effect.

It will be released near the end of the crowd sale, June 30th.

Nice coin and the price is running at a discount with the staking reward structure being at the bottom.  Definitely a good time to get in before the fervor starts on the reward progression towards the super blocks.

Great fun and generous community on their discord; don't miss out on some fun!: https://discord.gg/Aq84cy7

The chain is developed but not public; so that participants of the crowd sale don't have to worry about early mining, or the potential for others to be selling coins (e.g. to help prevent people from getting scammed by nefarious folks trying to take advantage of supporters)

It is not simulating mining or game based; it's true mobile mining using the device's CPU.  You will have control as to the amount of threads used, and you will see actual hash rates based on the work being done.  It's designed to be used while your phone is charging (overnight, or whenever else you may put your phone down for a decent period of time).

I don't understand your question; could you elaborate?
