Be careful though, stakepools are custiodiary services, meaning users have to trust them with their coins which the service operators can steal anytime.

As much as I love Woodcoin for a very long time, the main problem I have with it is that people can't solomine it with traditional miners (method not found). And being such a small coin that it is, solomining I think should be essential.

You see, many coins sort of blindly updated their wallets to the newest Bitcoin wallet codebase which removed getwork that was required for solomining and was replaced with getworktemplate - which is STILL not supported by virtually any ccminer fork. It makes sense to remove solomining in the default Bitcoin wallet, but many many altcoins followed suit without acknowledging the consequences and without releasing a compatible miner that's capable of solomining with getworktemplate and coinbase, ignoring that decentralization should be paramount. Then again, I don't mean to be too harsh on Woodcoin, there are way bigger offenders to this idea, but still, this should be fixed in one way or another. I'm curious how AMD miners are doing with modern wallets.

The good news is that you can still use version v1.0.0.0-unk-geo and solomine as if nothing happened because the newest version (v0.13.2.0-e0c070a) is fortunately not mandatory.

Bathrobehero, I think you're exactly right here.  In fact I think this same issue was responsible for contention on BTC as well - and kept a lot of miners off the segwit/core codes for a while.  Getting rid of getwork was a very odd move that required a lot of work for miners. 

As you point out github.com/funkshelper/woodcoin.git still has getwork, and in fact dominates the network if you look at versions that nodes are reporting. 

Re-adding getwork to the core codebase was more difficult than I thought and I don't know of any coin that has done so.  Because the original woodcoin still has getwork I haven't put much effort into it.  If you can think of any way to address this please let us know! 

Hey, I think the miner softwares should be modified to work with getworktemplate but devs doesn't seem to care. And miners also really doesn't care as almost everyone of them are unfortunately poolmining.

I, for one though only ever solomine.

What is Joincoin?
The project around the cryptocurrency Joincoin, which is traded under the abbreviation “J”, offers the interesting aspect that unlike most other currencies it can not be minted in one way or another .

Thanks. I am looking for chances of new development from here.
It won't be long after I get the mobie app out to start to do its jobs.  Cheesy

Which sound good xD just waiting for the updates and the news Wink I'm in the project over year ago..., and like it!

I still like the good old days of working well on mining directly from multiple pc's. This degree of ease is needed for the coming promotion to incentivize smartphone app users to be reward for engaging in PC mining activities from time to times. The more app users the less need for any users to do wallet mining as frequently and be rewarded.

In this respect, the late stage of mining (after 3 years), the block reward should be minimal and only having a token value, and acting only as the basis for rewards (not from the mining activity itself). This implies that halving of rewards should be much faster than coin price increase and the block reward would be close to only the transaction charge by the node which should be quite low, not the $10-20 by BTC.  Otherwise, multi-algo or not, any significant increase in block reward value would cause mining to concentrate on a few high-power miners, happening to BTC, and making Joincoin pc-mining impossible.

The present around 10% annual increase of Joincoin market cap from mining is more than twice of the 4.6 % annual increase in BTC. The Joincoin has to be 2x or more attractive than BTC, at least in the short-term, in order to appreciate more than BTC.

These two factors are the stumbling blocks to attract regular coin users (and some of them would become pc-miners and network supports) and gain price supports.

In short, re-introduction of halving of mining reward should be necessary.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Hey, DOGEbubble,

I think transaction fees as a sole reward for PoW do not work outside of the top 10 or so cryptos by market cap. In fact, if you were to reduce the reward of Joincoin's blocks, people would mine it even less as it is, making it completely vulnerable. This is the main reason it had a fork increasing the block reward to 1.

So what PoW coin devs should really thrive to do, is to make small coins as attractive to miners as possible to avoid being exploited.

A well planned block reward scheme could work though, (like 0.5 J, then 0.25J, then 0.125J and so on, continuing sort of like the inital idea of the coin) but transaction fees as pure rewards do not work for coins this size and popularity.

Where can I suggest proposals to the dev team? I don't really want to do an official proposal until I get some feedback.

Anyway, my proposal would be to develop sort of a Proxy Staking feature, meaning that you could stake your coins on a remote PC without any risk of losing your funds - sort of like masternodes. Instead of with masternodeprivkey, using stakingprivkey or something.

I'm mostly staking these days on a remote server to avoid shutdowns but even if I only unlock the wallet for staking purposes, a simple keylogger could get my funds stolen easily. So it would be nice to stake without any risk involved (cold wallet + safe, proxy-wallet staking).
89  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Why would you use a crypto debit card? on: February 22, 2018, 11:40:07 AM
I wouldn't use it.

It would be centralized, not truestless, transactions could be reversed and it could not be used worldwide, so what's the point?

You might as well just use FIAT then, there are no benefits for using crypto debit cards if you already have a bank account and a card. It would essentially be just an overcomplicated crypto>FIAT trading platform for users who intentionally give up all the major benefits of crypto.

This coin...

Ever since an upgrade from 3.0.x the wallet keeps forking, and;
RPC mining was removed as a result of mindlessly upgrading the wallet to a newer version (so solomining doesn't work with default mining software causing centralization);
https://explorer.luxcoin.xyz is stuck;
Half the pools doesn't work anymore but the OP isn't updated;

It would be nice if the wallet had a warning if there's a newer mandatory version available and if it's likely on a wrong fork (hash comparison vs block explorers?).

What are you talking about? I've sent a couple coins to test and they arrived successfully. They're on the right fork.
Looks like its fine to you but to OP it isn't.

That would suggest OP is on the wrong fork.

It's a lie!!! Here's a message from tech support !!! Everyone has problems on Twitter. The fork is incorrect!

Wallet  is on maintenance.
The solution to this cryptocurrency will take some time, need to update the wallet.
We apologize for any inconvenience


You're right, now deposits and withdraws are not working - just tested. But when I wrote my previous comment, they did work.

Approximately on January 25, the problems began.
The exchange ignores the problems connected with a conclusion and input XVG /Verge.
At the moment twitter is filled up with complaints.
They haven't accepted a rigid fork!

I just got an email for Eth mining presale for existing customers. The biggest package is $18k for 500 Mh/s for two years and it will start in end of April.

It's a completely joke, with Eth's difficulty increasing ~20% per month as it is, it will never make the money back. Not even close. It's an insult, really, thinking existing customers are that dumb.
95  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Nvidia Titan Xp Star Wars Editions on: January 25, 2018, 01:09:49 AM
The only differences between these cards and the "standard" Titan Xp are:

 1) fancy lighting.
 2) They're AVAILABLE right now where nothing else is in stock in Nvidia's web store.

 That's IT.



YEP

So far I have 3 on
-200 core +400 mem = 40.5 eth each

I gotta admit, the look pretty damn cool but other than that, its about as fast as a 1080Ti right now.



Mining Eth with Titans is like using a lambo to work for Uber... just plain stupid for so many reasons.

Stakeunited is the first Automated & managed multicoin pool.
You can deposit your $PIVX there and watch them staking without running the PC.
Im personally totally excited and recommend everyone to try it out


BE CAREFULL GUYS !!!!


Yep!

If you send your coins to an address of which you do not own the private keys, your coins are not really yours anymore and you're trusting the other party (exchange, wallet, service, etc.) with them.



Any stakers who still forks off sometimes? I do.


Is there a PIVX/ETH trading somewhere?

I'd be interested in it as well.

Re: New pump and dump group with idea to help everyone to make money

Are you going to print money? Money has to come from somewhere so as much as some people might make with P&D groups, some will lose just as much.

It's a pointless, scammy gamble really.

I understand your logic. However, I took part in same activities as a simple member of similar group and made 50-60% profit. It depends how You take part in this crypto-increases game.
However, it's possible to make money from this pump and people can use it to make more money for their future ideas and dreams. In addition, we are interested in creating a team with which we would be able to work for a long-time. As I think It sounds cool and the idea may have a potential.

It's not cool at all. It's just organized market manipulation with the goal of ripping people off who doesn't know any better.
