My wallet has not been syncing for an hour now.  Could someone send someone addnode IPs please?

It doesn't matter what nice words you write. This coin can't be kept alive this way. There will NEVER be enough miner to fix the difficulty issue. You HAVE TO do something with it. Fork it or find another way to decrease the difficulty. This is the only chance. Net hashrate is down to 15 Mhash/s and decreasing from day to day.

Or you could pay for it. Give high rewards to motivate miners from other pools. Giftcoin worth nothing in this case, you have to sacrifice some BTC.

I will not mine it, until you solve the difficulty issue.

That's my problem too. This coin is totally useless at the moment. It cannot be dumped. Dev has zero profit from it. No exchange popped up at all! What's more, it is impossible at the moment, since block confirmation is extremely slow.

I still don't understand what is this whole thing about. This coin isn't good for anyone. Miners has no revenue, dev neither, pools can't do anything with collected fees and even if someone wold like to print out a gift card, he/she could not use it, since nobody accepts it.

What is the point of this slow and agonizing death with zero profit?

But how?


Has the forking issue resolved already? I mined it for a week, half of the blocks got orphaned.

Strange, it's like talking to a television. Pointless. Dev sometimes writes a stirring post, and then disappears. We keep complaining and no answer, not a single answer from him. I don't really understand. Why is it good for him to push this whole thing? He doesn't earn anything from a coin, which has no exchange and totally useless. The only logical answer is he really want to keep alive this coin, but then why doesn't he do more for it?  

 

67%

I admit, it's a little bit boring.  

Now I get it. And I am very sad. Maybe this last block mined be me will be the last.
Anyway, thanks for the info. Sadly my calculations are incorrect. 

You are right, it is a huge issue. But if we examine strictly the difficulty only, it is not a waste of electricity. With 25Mhash net rate the avarage time to find a block is around one day. Dev try to make some hype to convince people to mine, seems logical. The only way to solve the problem is to increase the net hash rate, so miners are needed. With ten times the net hashrate we have now it would only take around 2-3 hours to find a block. In this case raterget could be achieved within one month. Unfortunately dev left us alone for too long time, so now only a few of us trust him.

I don't see the future in bright. I am mining at the moment on the official pool with 1.7Mhash, I would like to give a last chance to this coin. There is only another unlucky (?) man with me. If I don't see a rise in the hash rate by the time I find a block, then I will leave. We are at 62% est. shares, I expect to find a block today (local time 14:04CET).

I think these days are the last chance of this coin. I  say, this coin worth a last try, please join one of the pools and start mine. Soon we will have a block and the one find it will get a 100GFT reward.

If no miners are joining, we are dead.

No, I don't have a working wallet. It is not syncing for 2 days now and I am not the only one, just turn back one page and you will see the first complaints about broken wallets. Therefore transactions are not possible, no send, no receive, no dumping, no nothing, just a bunch of bytes.

It's a deal, I give you mine if you give me yours.

Don't be sad, you will "receive 100GFT's (2 blocks) for every 24hrs that you DO NOT SELL". I think we are going to be millionaires soon. But of course only, if you do not sell. Remember, we are teasing the market now.

Fork what? We don't even have a working wallet. The last block was 18239 and nothing after that. No trading, no mining, just a dead wallet. Since no one looks after it, it will not be fixed. This is truly the end.

WTS my wallet.dat with 155 giftcoin for anything.

Everyone keeps telling "do not mine, it's not worth anymore". But why? I have been mining scrypt altcoins for 1 month now with 4 GPUs. The electricity is about 30-40% of the revenue, the rest is pure profit. I bought and built the rig myself. The GPUs are used ones, in good condition from e-bay. The whole rig costed about $1000. I earned 25% of it in the first month and planning to build another one next month.

According to my experiences is DOES pay to mine. It is not an easy work, fine tuning and continuous monitoring of the hardware is essential.

I do believe it's definitely worth it and a fun thing to do. Don't agree? Why not?

It happened to me several times with minor altcoins. The last one is Giftcoin. At one day the wallet just stops syncing. It got me puzzled, since as I know the whole cryptocoin system builds on p2p scheme. I have several connection, still the wallet is not syncing. What could be the reason? I am not asking this about a specific altcoin, but generally, what could cause a wallet not to sync for every user? Is there anything that can be done as an ordinary user to solve this problem?
