I downloaded it a few days ago - just copy the entire line and paste in the address field of your browser.

DiamondCoin hash rate is being reported to be too low.  Current network hash rate is 176MH/s right now.

It seems that Peoplecoin is stopped - no new block for more than 19 hours.  Last block 123103 found by ppl.excpool.com - nothing since then.

[Edit:  Ok - it is working again now - just got up to date.  It seems that when I pointed my miner to my wallet, it triggered something.]

Hi All,

Over the past couple of days - yes, some trades have been held up and others could not be committed.  I have experienced this also - and even after cancelling all of my outstanding orders, eventually I got most of my coins back.  I am still missing some GDC from one order, but the others have come back. It just takes time, and the BTC price crash didn't help either.

The only outstanding thing I have is that some sell trades get charged at 0.4% instead of 0.3% - has anyone else noticed this?  I have opened a support ticket with him, but it is still ongoing.  I am behind by 0.038BTC over 42 sell trades that had the higher fee attached, and I don't auto-sell.

Thanks, I will install the wallet and try my hand at mining.

Where can we download the wallet?  I tried the main site but none of the links work.  Does someone have the wallet for windows that they could put somewhere for me to pickup?

I suppose that to continue you need to actually pay to use the servers, then the return will be less depending on how much the servers cost to run.

Hi,

My CryptoBuck wallet finally synchronized, but shows only 1 connection.  Current block 17539.  I tried connecting my miner to my wallet, and after about 1 hr - my cgminer showed block found, but no accept occurred, so it looks like mining isn't working - when will this be available?

barwizi,

Do you access the internet from behind a proxy server?  Or just from a home internet connection?  I have heard of some problems with picking up the wrong or outdated webpage when using proxies, but haven't heard about what you just had happen.  I did read in the chatbox when you apparently were logged on as jopeto650.  I also clicked on the Support button and it comes up ok.  Alternatively you can just choose Support from the top menu.

I agree that it should not be possible to do what you just did.

It depends - that is what everyone says.  Ok, if we look at pool mining, the pool usually takes a commission from each block mined.  This can be anything from 0-3% or so, in order to cover the cost of running the pool servers and other things like internet etc.  Then you can choose to donate a part of your earnings to supplement the pool - typically 1% or fraction thereof.  If the pool you have chosen is a significant fraction of the network hash rate, your pool has a higher chance of solving the blocks.  Assume your pool has 50% of the network hash rate.  This means that your pool is likely to solve 1 out of every 2 blocks, ok?  Now the pool will usually have a number of miners, each miner can have multiple workers, so adding up all of the hashing power in the pool - you look at your hash rate relative to the pool.  If you have 25% of the pool hash rate, you are likely to get about 25% or less of each block after commissions.  This is what PPS (pay per share) is about - I know this is a simplistic view, but is a good approximation.  Most pools now at PPLNS, or pay per last N shares.  Your mining software will generate shares, which are partial solutions to the puzzle - the pool counts how many shares you produce, so it will work our what your earnings will be from each block or number of blocks.  Sorry for being long-winded, basically pool mining allows smaller miners to pool there mining power together to get a better chance of solving blocks.

Now, for solo mining - if your pool is a good fraction of the network hash rate, and you have a good fraction of your pool hash rate, you might be interested in solo mining.  I.e. my hash rate is about 2.5MH/s and with Peoplecoin, most nights the network hash rate goes down to about 4MH/s - so I set up my mining rigs to solo mine, then switch back to pool mining when the network hash rate goes up.  With solo mining, I get the entire proceeds of each block I solve, so it works out a bit better.

Now what am I mining right now?  I won't quite spell it out, but remember the bird in Harry Potter, that goes up in flames, but then comes back to life?  This coin has a network hash rate that a couple of days ago, was ranging from 2-7MH/s, right now it is 20MH/s but I expect that to go down in a little while, then I can make more coins - the pool I am in is about 33% of the network hash rate, so a good percentage means a reasonable return.  I suspect that the hash rate went up because this coin now gives 50 coins per block instead of 25 coins per block a few days ago.

Ok - are you going to be using Windows or Linux for your mining computer?  I am running Linux on two machines - one with 3x 7950's, and one with a single 5850.  I am using this link for the configuration of Linux, also gives you a good idea of how it works also for Windows.  http://www.cryptobadger.com/2013/04/build-a-litecoin-mining-rig-linux/

Also http://com-http.us/ is good to have a look at the different coins - you can choose scrypt coins and find out about them.  You can also use CoinEX mining pools to get an idea of network hash rate https://coinex.pw/mining/pools

The idea is to try one - you don't need to download the wallet yet, just join a pool and try your hand at mining.  Once you find a coin that you can get consistent returns on, and where your hash rate is a reasonable percentage of the network hash rate, you can try your hand at solo mining which means you will need to install the wallet as this is where you point your mining rig to.  Most of the older coins now have a high hash rate that you can only get returns when pool mining.  FTC has a high hash rate already, and IFC is ok but getting higher.

I first started mining Anoncoin with coinpool 4 weeks ago - this was when the network hash rate was quite low, about 10MH/s, and when it was really good, I managed to get something like 5 ANC every 2-3 hours - this was only for a few days until suddenly the net hash rate went up - currently 150MH/s and returns now are around 1 coin a day, so went looking at other coins.

awais3344,

If you are able to hash with a gpu on scrypt at 300kH/s - this is medium performance GPU much like a 5850 - I have one of these working at about 321kH/s.

Have a look at the network hash rate for the scrypt coins - choose one that has a low network hash rate, then you will probably join a pool to try mining for a coin.  It really doesn't matter which coin, but basically with mining, your electricity costs are likely to outweigh the mining returns.  Alternatively you can choose a new coin and get started at the early stages before a lot of people start mining.

If you are looking for a coin that you could solo mine - you could look at PeopleCoin - the only problem is selling them - they are not worth much, and are only listed on the BtcLtc exchange where you can sell them for Chinese Yuan - I did this for a while to get the fun of actually doing pool mining and solo mining.  The current network hash rate for PPL varies from 2MH/s to about 10MH/s.  Just an hour ago, the network hash rate was 2.5MH/s so my 7850 was doing about 314kH/s at intensity 12 while I am browsing the internet.  If you join a pool, don't forget that your proportional returns are lower, but you get more consistent returns.

Something you can also do, is to get additional cards if your motherboard supports them and increase your hashing rate.

Anyway, good luck.

Hi,

I downloaded the 1.0.2 wallet but it won't run.  Comes up with errors to do with hashGenesisBlock.  I read earlier that the 1.0.0 wallet client is needed to resolve this but the link doesn't work, so any ideas?  If someone has the 1.0.0 client, maybe they could help.

Hi, I also got interested in bitcoins and altcoins only about 2.5 weeks ago, 12th October actually.  I started mining PPC but found that it was not feasible without Asic's so switched to ANC (scrypt using graphics cards).  I chose ANC because of the network hashing rate was reasonably low, so that even with my meager hardware, I still have a small percentage.  I did this for about two weeks until the network hash rate quadrupled.  I did manage to convert my ANC yesterday and now am the proud owner of 0.056 BTC.  It was fun to do, but I think I used a lot more money to get this, i.e. electricity here in Australia is about 0.25 per kWh.

Anyway, it seems that buying and selling altcoins would make more money, from the comments on other forums.
