Does anyone have a working OSX binary and could upload it somewhere? I've got a quite a few macs here but am unable to compile.

What is the problem you are having?  I was able to compile on osx

You, like several others, make this claim... but you, like all others have yet to provide a single shred of evidence that I've lied anywhere.  But go on, please post a link to where I've lied, lets see it. 

 Ooh can I play ?!!? How about you lying about every single missed shipping and production estimate ?

 Oh shit, I'm sorry dude, those aren't lies... I keep forgetting you refer to these as mistakes... That you keep consistently making... Over and over again...


haha, he's not a liar, just an incompetent dumbass

ha, of course he said that, Sunny King and his friends premined millions of coins.  But don't worry, they will get richer at the same rate as everyone else....

What does "long term energy efficient mean"? Does it mean that we don't need to actively mine some of the coins?

It means you get coins by owning coins, so the lucky people that got in when over 2 million coins were given out in the first week will get the biggest profits

Have no fear, the law of supply and demand is here.

I read someone predicting that people were going to lose their life savings? I hope individuals are not investing their life savings into alt coins. Not a good idea. The bottom line is "developers" are going to keep cranking out coins until it is no longer profitable to do so. Back in the early 90's the same thing was happening with search engines, it seemed like a new search engine was being cranked out each day. Eventually the market decided which search engines were valuable and the others fell by the waist side.

There is a temptation to blame the exchanges, but ultimately it will be the market that decides which coins succeed, which coins have value, and which ones are worthless.

...says the shitcoin developer

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work unfortunately.  I'm using HP10 also.

{
    "blocks" : 158764,
    "chainspermin" : 7,
    "chainsperday" : 1.10043503,
    "currentblocksize" : 1000,
    "currentblocktx" : 0,
    "difficulty" : 9.86619937,
    "errors" : "",
    "generate" : true,
    "genproclimit" : 10,
    "primespersec" : 1701,
    "pooledtx" : 0,
    "sieveextensions" : 6,
    "sievepercentage" : 10,
    "sievesize" : 1000000,
    "testnet" : false
}



It is a dual processor Xeon X5650.  I think it should be performing better than this.

What are the best settings for Xeon processors? I'm running 2x 2.66 GHz Xeon's and getting pretty low chains per day:
{
    "blocks" : 157519,
    "chainspermin" : 10,
    "chainsperday" : 1.18470870,
    "currentblocksize" : 1000,
    "currentblocktx" : 0,
    "difficulty" : 9.86931497,
    "errors" : "",
    "generate" : true,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "primespersec" : 1754,
    "pooledtx" : 0,
    "sieveextensions" : 6,
    "sievepercentage" : 10,
    "sievesize" : 1000000,
    "testnet" : false
}


so 24 threads (2x6coresxHT) giving this results? that seems low.
give 12 threads (genproclimit . 12) a try - HT is throtteling on some cpus...

Changing sievesize doesn't seem to do much.

The best settings are the default settings. Some very smart people with large resources have gone to great effort to determine those best values. Unless you really know what you are doing then don't change them.

I suspect you think that your chainsperday is low because you over-estimate your Xeons performance. Also, saying you have a 2.66 GHz Xeon is like saying you have a 2.66 meter long car. It doesn't actually mean very much because there are half a dozen Xeons that fit that description. Single core? Dual core? Quad core? How about a model number (eg SL___) or series type (eg Xeon E5####).

If I had to guess, your CPU's are probably the Core-equivalent Xeon's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_microprocessors#Core-based_Xeons which were released ~2006-2008 and the performance you are getting is completely reasonable from such CPU. In fact, the poorer quad-core Xeons will also give about that performance too.

i've been mining for 24 hrs at 1000 pps and havent found a single block. Is mining not viable already?

edit: looks like people are mining this coin like crazy which sucks because now a few people get to hoard all the coins for themselves and only few get lucky enough to get a handful of coins to play around with. this is the first altcoin which got me a little excited when I read about it but my excitement is quickly turning into disappointment.

maybe if you whine some more, it will get easier to mine

WeMineLTC.com ofc!! Smiley Smiley 0% fees, DDoS, full payout report, User Chat/help, VARDIFF, full stratum, SSL... What else you need? Smiley

I switched to wemineltc a few weeks ago and haven't looked back.  The fees are lower than other pools, the pool has more uptime, and I get way less stales.  With coinotron, I was ~10% stale and the pool was constantly down.

Now, lets take a look a month or so on. I recommended Don't Go to the US, Tux shot me down.[/b]

Just touch the US and get sued for $75M (not even Gov, by your "partner"),  if that is a legit law suit (pacer has it but I expected to see an Official Court Stamp Somewhere)

BitCoin trades in CNY and CNC now comes out based in CNC, so much for "illegal" in CNY. The whole concept of Illegal in CNY is very different in CNY to West. I mean even Civil law and Common law are quite different.

If anything my position was way too conservative....stay clear of the US....until you are in a really really strong position, and have iron clad indemnity clauses from any US "partner" before you get in bed with them in anyway!!!

I hope I am wrong and some how this law suit is fake, or gets dismissed, but I humbly suggest you need to get some long term strategic planners in there at Gx, if your serious about seeing this all through....



Or, if you do business in the US, you will be expected to abide by any contracts you sign.

C:\Program Files (x86)\PPCoin\daemon>ppcoind walletpassphrase (password) 6000 true
error: You must set rpcpassword=<password> in the configuration file:

I have made the file using the sample from github
