Your input and comments are always appreciated. I just took over most of the development as there was nobody left to do it, but i am still learning and progressing on blockchain technology. I am not saying i am totally against AuxPOW and will look at its implementation and discuss it with GoldSeal and other interested parties .... i am just cautious and do not want to risk any mayor issues on the verge of the CSC breakthrough ......
Wow, Casinocoin has a great leader here guys. I really am impressed with you ajochems. Sorry for sounding so sour/flippant in my other posts...I seem to be turning into "that guy" lately. Andre and Goldseal are awesome they are doing some amazing work for CSC. I, personally, like to see this coin below the main lines, with which she was born. But now, I pray that someone can enlighten me "black in white", why this stigma with the miners. Why cut the reward of 10 to 1 ?? I do not understand ... I always thought that the strength and stability of a currency "POW" was in ghâsh power .... The more miners, the better. Right? I do not understand why this problem with the miners ... If it were not for the miners to move the market, dumping coins, the market was paralyzed. for me, worse than a falling market is a market with no signs of life ...See the example of Alcurex.org. It is to fly ... (no miners selling...) In fact, they are "planned" grandiose projects for CSC. But as for me, though small, there is a real value in CSC: the amount spent on equipment and electric power, necessary to mine the CSC. This value can be delayed, but it is real. And from what I read (or reading I do in previous posts), you guys, intend to stop it. What will be the attraction of mining a coin per minute  Zero. (only if CSC=$1USD, then maybe...) Just to make it clear, I'm not miner! I just tried to rent a machine to learn how to mining. And what I mined, I keep to myself ... Let's be honest, in this moment the most harmed are the miners ... If the price is low, is because we as a community, do not know how to capture and generate demand for CSC necessary for the currency appreciate a little more. About blockchain, I think it would be good to change this kind of thing right now (I refer to changing the rules when are already underway the prypto cards, the alleged agreements with some casinos, one blockchain - 2 coin marks , etc...). I understand what you mean by a strong hash rate is a strong network but does the network in turn become longstanding for the future? The problem with the current mining situation is a lot of people/pools are mining CSC to just dump it, like Andre mentioned it is quite hard to create a steady price increase without manipulating the market and that's the last thing we want to do. In July if we let CSC halve to 5 coins per block at the current rate for the next 3 years a total of approx 15 Million coins will be minted ontop of the already 38 Million coins that are already available. Very quickly do we reach the 63,000,000 Coin mark this way and I think that is one of the main driving forces. The block time is staying at 30 seconds so it will be a coin per half minute~ this would happen down the line eventually after a few halves but why now ? By doing it now we ensure that the network is backed by individuals who support the network and not just mine on it because after mining is finished these individuals will be supported by transaction fees unless CSC switches to another algo that doesn't require mining. From where I stand bringing down the reward to one coin per block will not only strengthen the network but also provide us for some much needed expansion time for the future to grow the network into one that is longstanding and more resilient. I do agree that we as a community need to step up how we approach marketing CSC and make it more attractive to the Gambling market who is not all that tech savy sometimes. I understand what you are saying, though your numbers are wrong. Your numbers assumes: One block every 30 seconds or 2 blocks every 1 minute or 120 units every hour or 2880 blocks every 24 hours. (Or 28,800 CSC / day) Now see my projection based on 2160 blocks day (or 21,600 CSC / day........ or a block each 40 seconds): Number CSC Total number of days block/day reward/block Until 18 jul 2016 38965475 45 2160 10 Until 18 jul 2019 50791475 1095 2160 5 Until 18 jul 2022 56704475 1095 2160 2,5 Until 18 jul 2025 59660975 1095 2160 1,25 Until 18 jul 2028 60843575 1095 2160 0,625 Until 18 jul 2031 62026175 1095 2160 0,5 Until 18 jul 2034 63208775 1095 2160 0,5 BUT It turns out that the reality is even more different. If you see the block chain explorer, the number of blocks generated per day is still much lower (at least in the last few weeks ...) I'll give you some examples (always 24-hour intervals): block between 1519513 and 1517920 ......... 1593 blocks block between 1514815 and 1513484 ......... 1331 blocks block between 1504933 and 1503818 ......... 1115 blocks block between 1503050 and 1502389 ......... 661 blocks But where I want to get is that even ,, always halving every 3 years, we have at least 17 years to mine. If in 17 years, the CSC are not worth at least $ 100USD / each, and we can not live from the transaction fees, then we are damned .... LOL Yes I was off from the first estimate of 15 million but you know where I am coming from and in the latter stages of the halving mining becoming basically worthless if CSC stays at one dollar so the fact of the matter is if we want CSC to be worth 100USD one day then we need to take action now. Id like for Andre to explain it some more but I imagine he is busy. |

Do you think POS incentivizes hoarding? I am inclined to believe so...
What do people think about AuxPOW? Seems to be a good choice to me.
It 100% does, the rich get richer in a POS scenario. Did AuxPOW benefit Doge significantly I never really followed it ? As for the reward cut, we're thinking of reducing it to 1 coin per block from 10. Back when we cut from 50 to 10, we wanted to go deeper, but we decided to reduce 80% since altcoins at the time were in danger of losing all their miners. At this point, we can probably go to 1 and we'll achieve some significant protection for coin holders by reducing this relentless autosell behavior while still maintaining some decent hash power. It should also send alot of coin hoppers packing in the near term.
The Casinocoin network is stronger than ever and i'm sure a lot of people will stay mining as they see the true value. So I agree it should be reduced to 1 from 10, but what do you think about the re-target time changing to one minute? and any different input on AuxPOW / merged mining or is your stance the same as before ? |

I have not touched on the subject of cutting the blocks in half because it will double the waiting time between confirmations. I think that somewhat limits the objective of the CSC use as a deposit at the casinos. nobody wants to wait 6 minutes when you can take only 3 minutes ... about POS, I am not a fan ... POS for me, only reward those who joined early, and I think that the money should be attractive by buying, mining, trade, etc .. to please, to a range extended from interested In fact, I'm not recall any currency that is only POS, and be a success (unless it has to have been made with millions of USD even before being launched ...) At best a POW system + POS ... but I like the "honest" way of this coin: without pre-mining and a lot of work (POW) In another line of thought, I think there should be a way to compensate developers / responsible for the hard work ... maybe a percentage, from the mining ... They are just ideas .... waiting for community ideas ....  You make a very good point about the additional time it takes to process the minimal 6 confirmations on the network to be accepted, but what I have been doing with CSCity/Poker and the new CSCGaming is if there is one confirmation your balance becomes valid and you can play BUT you may not withdrawal until there is a total of 10 confirmations which is currently 5 minutes. I do believe a IRL casino would be able to implement something like this. If the transaction is proven to be fraudulent and not accepted by the network once this person has tried to withdrawal there is barriers in place to prevent them from doing so. |

Since people are entertaining a fork..... You could also consider raising the block target time from 30 seconds to 1 minute. 1 minute is more than adequate and would cut the total coins produced per day in half without decreasing the block reward. A gradual block reduction could be done rather than the proposed reducing to 1 CSC immediately ( https://github.com/casinocoin/casinocoin/issues/18). That would keep some of the hashrate on the coin but I can see the appeal of coding to 1 CSC instead of messing with block halfing. If CSC was immediately cut to 1 CSC I fear miners will bail. I haven't been keeping up with the latest developments in blockchains but last I looked POSv was nice. If done right it would eliminate the need for miners completely while still allowing the blockchain to continue. I also like AuxPOW though. So I possibly think....AuxPOW with a 1 minute blocktime and 1 CSC reward. Anyway, just some thoughts since that box Pandora owns was opened.  Glad you posted, I do like the idea of dropping down the reward to extend the mining time, but in turn will this push current or future miners away like you mentioned ? Should an immediate drop or a gradual drop instead of halving be implemented? AuxPOW would be a good solution as the merged mining would bring in additional miners, but do we want merged mining with Casinocoin as we discussed before? One minute is still a sufficient retarget time but I wish we had something like this to evaluate the data: https://blockchain.info/charts/median-confirmation-time. I'm all for dropping the reward to 1 CSC and retarget to 1 minute BUT if we are going to be hard forking we should take advantage of some of the technologies that are available to make the network stronger and more resilient for the future. |

I picked up a bit more CSC. Hope this project manages to pull something out, been damn quiet for a while now.
There is lots going on still! Ajochems is working on integrating bitpays open source insight api into CSC. https://github.com/casinocoin/CSCGaming is being developed solely by me - any Javascript/PHP fellows looking to help shoot me a message. The users system is completed, and i'm currently working on the banking/loyalty section. A little trouble with graphics (The graphic designer I hired shit the bed and didn't produce what I asked for) So i'm currently looking for a new one, if you know anyone please send me their portfolio/contact on slack. I've searched fiverr and a bunch of other sites but can't find the right person for the job. (slot wheels, geo targeted banner graphics, game boards etc). And don't forget about Prypto, it's been a delay but they are still working hard on producing the affiliate program and CSC dedicated scratch cards. Damn, sucks ass. Super dirt cheap right now and I have no btc to buy with
In the same boat as you, debating on picking up some BTC in the next few days to get some more I still haven't reached the 500k mark |

Just emailed coinwarz asking if they can re-add us since we're on cryptopia now.
They've got it back up |

I cannot comment on Prypto or the Affiliate program, but watch this space: http://cscgaming.comThe front-page will be available soon and eventually we will be taking pre-beta signup emails. Sounds very interesting. Does that mean this page will be like a center or portal of games to gamble with your CSC? If so, count me in! I have been into gambling myself with Bitcoin, I am pretty sure CSC would be even better. Can't wait for this to become a reality. Maybe this will bring more attention to the coin itself.  Basically yes! I am a gambler as well and love everything about it (besides losing who likes to lose)! Instead of having several different websites for different casino games I have decided it's best to blend them all into one seamless platform. You will be able to play roulette, poker, blackjack, slots, baccarat, and eventually craps (once I learn more about the game) with your CSC without having to withdraw or deposit on a different website. Every game will also feature free play modes, the affiliate system is being re-worked, and there will be a loyalty system like you see at most online casinos. |

yeah Andre and I spent some time on Monday making sure CSC won the paid vote this week. Today, I'll talk to Andre about adding it to the pricing API.
Thanks GoldSeal and Andre for the time and money. Any news about GC, Prypto, casinos, giveaways, etc?? when it is possible to raise the tip of the veil ?? I cannot comment on Prypto or the Affiliate program, but watch this space: http://cscgaming.comThe front-page will be available soon and eventually we will be taking pre-beta signup emails. |

Yes, and to wallet. This is for ajochems to do. Yes, Andre takes care of this! Changes should be updated on the Website in a moment. Updated and because NovaExchange is doing their best to return users funds and stay alive I haven't quite removed them completely from the listing. https://www.scryptpool.com/novaexchange |

I'm need to exchange some Euros from my paypal account by BTC ...
Someone reliable, interested in helping me? please send me PM .
Are you trying to buy Bitcoin with your Paypal balance ? |

Has anyone else seen this? https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-com-launches-casino/or you can visit it here: https://casino.bitcoin.com/The amount of name brand games on there is ridiculous from Mega Moolah, The Dark Knight, to Thunderstruck 2. Most of the games are what you would see on large Online Fiat Casinos like Bet365 or Jackpotcity. This is a HUGE step for Bitcoin gambling. Softswiss who is making all of this happen is one of the very first people I contacted when attempting to start my own online casino for Casinocoin but the cost was way too high but if they are showing interest in operating a Bitcoin casino maybe they will take into consideration a Casinocoin one as well because their software/games is top of the line. They have removed pricing from their website but if my memory serves me right it was approx $15,000 EUR for the white label solution and monthly fees ontop of this so pooling together is kind of out of the question on this one.

How big did you want the image ? Did you want it as is? (Asked a few posts back but you missed it)
Just send him the image as is and he will correct it if needed. I don't have access to the original vector which is very large so Id be re creating it. but ask and you shall receive: https://casinocoin.org/assets/img/casinocoin-icon.png(ill get all of the images up on github/that^^ directory so people don't have to ask.) |
|
|

If anyone can help with an image like casinocoins avatar I will make a sterling silver coin. anyway no one is really interested at the moment I guess.
Also does anyone have an idea how to get a price for CSC for the exchange we are finishing? An API or something
Rudy has the current price on his api and so does Andre. How big did you want the image ? Did you want it as is? (Asked a few posts back but you missed it) -- If anyone is looking for some inspiration on what to create look at services surrounding Bitcoin and other currencies. You don't have to CODE(confirm this gold seal), perhaps a Csc pamphlet ? A user guide that includes things like info, prypto explanation etc |
|
|
|
It would help if I have casinocoins avatar but bigger too. Can anyone help with that please?
Regards
I'll get you the old vector, which one did you want the red or gold chip? Or both  ? |

Sorry guys, but I'm a little lost on how to compete to redeem these csc prypto cards? I have been mining for months though.
I see the twitter posts with QR codes and wondering what's the next step? Thanks all.
In your Casinocoin wallet(v2+) there is a redeem tab, or you can go to pryptos website and redeem them from there(they might still not have Csc enabled yet). I am also working on getting it integrated into the official website just a bit busy for the next week with finals(school). |

Hi, Listed at Novaexchange https://novaexchange.com/market/BTC_CSC/The coin is still syncing with the blockchain and any deposits will not show up until the icon next to the button on the balances pages turn green, hover the icon to see the last block time received, updated every 15 minute. I recommend to wait with deposits until sync is completed i.e. the icon turns green. Addresses can be created while waiting. Trade with care, Novaexchange Thankyou so much for your support, so many have been asking for alternative exchanges and Nova has stepped up to the plate first. I will add your exchange to the first post and official website after the chain is synced! If you don't mind please join our mailing lists and official slack for updates in the future! |

A few updates on my end:
Android block explorer ready in a few days,
Website Prypto integration coming soon,
CSC gaming updates coming soon,
CSC gaming blackjack ready in a few weeks.
On a side note obligatory GO HAWKS GO.

Doesn't Yobit take 0.5 BTC payment for instant add (1 day) + mail alert to all users? Is this an option?
They are getting quite big now with up to 500 BTC trade volume on a single coin in recent days.
You're right they do: https://yobit.net/en/addcoinI have tried a few to send in a few free no guarantee requests but nothing yet. Maybe we could just put the 0.5 up and get listed .. I'd chip in. |
|
|
|
Well if we all did 0.1 that would be cool?
Would we be doing this in CSC or in BTC, cause atm most of my BTC is stuck in shitty Craptsy and it doesn't look like i'm getting it any time soon. I would be able to put up 0.1 BTC or preferably I would put up some CSC for the exchange to start their stock. |
