We don't have anyone on our team that knows anybody over at CMC. Maybe you should join our discord and help that happen!

Please read my above post with care and a clear open mind - maybe some compassion - and don't jump to any conclusions. The world is running out of fossil fuels and that means cryptocurrencies will need to move away from energy intense to low energy consumption. With our headless PI solution we're going in that direction. It also adds other benefits.

For skeptics, I invite them to look at my repositories on github. They can find our older initial pre-fork repo named "placeh". https://www.github.com/xagau/placeh

If you look at the commit history then you will have the answer to to whether or not there was any premine. Make sure to check the dates, and look at the original commits and how the project progressed.
The second fork; when we switched to X16R, we did this shortly after Ravencoin had been having success of deterring asic miners.

Anyone can fork BTC and if your coin receives any attention at all I guarantee you will run into the same issue - your difficulty will go up so high (people will use Nice Hash) to grab all of the coins in the series and then pull away quickly as the 2016 difficulty adjustment algorithm kicks in. Fortunately with Dark Gravity Wave it keeps our blocks moving at a steady rate. 1 per minute.

The main reason for our announcement is that we are moving to a headless PI solution that we believe will add value to the cryptocurrency space.
Although I am a "newbie" please, check the date of registration of my account. I assure you I was involved in cryptocurrencies before you.

We started with a SHA256 algorithm. It was clear that our chain was being stalled by miners who would drive the hash through the roof while it was easy and then pull their hash as it got close to 2016 block difficulty adjustment
 
This caused our chain to stall. We decided as a a community to fork to x16R and implement dark gravity waves to keep the chain moving.

When we did our fork, we took a snapshot of all of the wallet balances and redistributed those balances for a new genesis block.

We forked again when we made changes to the supply curve  as it was clear that supply > demand. We now have the utility to have a balance which is why our coin has not dropped to 1-2 SATs

Our explorer was just upgraded and is still synchronizing.
Thank you for the question.

I will look into that. Right now the difficulty seems to be fairly easy - you can mine several hundred PHL each day with just a CPU; but its the time between blocks that is a problem because it takes too long for a transaction to become confirmed. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the reply butka, right now someone seems to find a block around every 20-60 minutes. This accounts for the relatively low circulating supply of coins. Do you know any way for this to be sped up? Do more people need to mine the coin to get to a faster level? I think before the coin changes I would like to make would be useful you would need to be around 5-10 minutes per block. Its hard to imagine people waiting much longer than that in a realistic use case scenario.

I setup a new coin called Placeholders (placeh.io)using forkgen.tech, went through the trouble of adding a website and trying to figure out how to get the block explorer "Iquidus Explorer" working. Finally got something sort of stable - it was a bit of a headache and I had to toss a few chains to get it stable.

I have some new ideas of how I want to change the coin, however - here is my question:

Right now I just have CPU mining, and a few of my friends have been mining it as we try to expand the development case for it.

My question is this:
Does anyone know if there are any downloadable "off-the-shelf" miners that will let you GPU mine a forkgen coin?

I tried to get it mining w/ sgminer and cc miner but nay - does not seem to work.

Side Note: I think it is funny how it says I am a newbie. I mostly just lurk on here (been doing that since 2012) however as I only have 2 posts (more of an observer than a participant) I am considered a newbie. LMAO.

I downloaded the client application, and I can see my private key when I create a new wallet, but I don't see how I can load coins from a private key.

Does anyone know how to load ANS from a private key?
