HostDab's March deals will include .EU for $2.99 for 1st year and .COM for $7.99 for 1st year ! (Our normal prices: .EU $7.99 .COM $9.75).

No restrictions, no hidden fees. FREE DNS management, FREE email forwarding and FREE ID Protection for domains which support it.

Keep updated on the monthly deals by following https://twitter.com/hostdab .

That 1 mil does not even make a dent in the daily trading of bitcoin on the major exchanges. Not even to mention per month.
Those 2k bitcoins is not even 1 % of what is traded each day.

Things are still in progress but unfortunately most things are being worked on are in the background, meaning there is not much to show for atm.
I did make a quick video of me testing the poker client http://youtu.be/V6irI6CnmoE .


Meanwhile i will be doing a short maintenance today on the following pools.

pool.xivra.com is done
xiv.pps-mining.com
mining.xivra.com

Each pool will be down for 10-15 minutes.

It's up and working as usual.

As far I am aware currently coinedup.com and cryptorush.in have Xivra listed.
And 'knock on wood' Xivra has been stable from the start !

pool.xivra.com running again. stratum was stuck.

Hi all, just came back.

Looking at pool.xivra.com as i write this, expect to be up again within 15min

Thank you!

Meanwhile i found a small issue with payments going out from the faucet.

I do not know if I have time today to fix this as I will be leaving to Istanbul for a few days.
Will be back on Thursday.

Faucet which has not tested yet.

http://xivra-faucet.com

Please could you all give it a test-drive while i get a few hours of sleep.  

cheers

Feel free to develop Xivra+ 

I have made some minor updates to the source code, a checkpoint is added and more dnsseeds are added.

I will recompile new clients tomorrow. This is no mandatory update, the improvement will make sure that new users will have a faster initial connection to the network. No version update will take place.

A new pool is live http://mining.xivra.com/ pplns pool, normally 1% fee but 0% fees until February 11th. This is a new dedicated server with hardware raid 10 and sas drives. This server is able to handle a lot of hash rate.

I quote what i responded:


I certainly do not want to be linked to casinocoin, so I will make sure it will be changed.

LOL

Xivra Gaming was announced already 6 weeks ago, and it is certainly not a copy of.

I am not saying that they got the idea from our development site but it is a general template we both used.

Having said that, it is easy to change the looks, in the end it is all about security and the quality of the games.

My best guess would be that it is online in a month from now. I will not rush the launch for this, as security, stability and functionality need to be as good as possible.

It is possible to add Caribbean stud poker, but this will not be at the initial launch. I want it to be running at least a month without any problems before adding more games.

Block explorers are already listed here: https://www.xivra.com/xivras-technical-details/

Apparently it slipped my mind to add the info about coinpayments.net . Will do today.

Thanks

I will put a bounty on my head once it is live, so everyone who kicks me out of a tournament will get a nice bounty 

I will not make any changes towards the code regarding the mining parameters, it does not matter what the price is and mining power.

Xivra was born to be a long term project and not to be a pump and dump currency. Many of the future plans for Xivra just take time. Therefor it was and is the initial intention that it would take at least 3 years before 75% of the total amount would be mined, while still leaving a sufficient amount to be mined (For Bitcoin this is 8 years). Within 2 years Xivra will evolve so much that people who got some while it still was easy will be happy.

I do not understand some of the reasoning. Why would Xivra be dead if nobody would mine? As long the client and code is good and there are nodes to connect too then Xivra will exist. ( I would agree to say that the more mining power and clients connecting, the more secure the network is ).
I do expect a big increase in mining power within 2 months. For this reason there will be a new launched by me today on a beast of a dedicated server.
Also I need to say that Xivra has alread more hashing power then Bitcoin had just 3 years ago.

I do think there is a big misconception regarding Xivra for some people. Xivra as a project is focused on the long term future to be a valid payment option, both online and offline. The focus is not that 1 Xivra will be worth $1,000.- or $10,000.- , the focus is that it actually will have a minimum value in the future. What the actual value will be on the exchanges is up on the users / miners / traders / investors. Personally I strongly believe that 1 Xivra will reach a price anywhere between $0.01 and $2.00 within the next 2-3 years and that Xivra will be able to be exchanged straight to USD before the end of this year.

Just remember that 1 Bitcoin was worth $2.50 just a year ago. Things can go fast in the world of crypto currencies.

If people want high prices for Xivra as soon as possible then I can only suggest that people make websites promoting Xivra, promote Xivra on forums here and elsewhere, accept Xivra in your online store. etc etc.  Get involved !
