Thanks, I will try. But if I get hurt like I did with MaxCoin fiasko launch, I'll never trust another coin again Smiley

That's a terrible coin on which to base your judgement...for being promoted by professionals, it was easily one of the worst & least professional launches I've seen in my (limited) time here.

Indeed. I will be sad if it takes of and not because I failed at mining any of it, but because it's not fair (ironically, with such "fair" launch) for other altcoin dev and owners, who are working hard and efficiently.

Another silly noobish question, can I use the "common" minerd? Or should I wait for launch to get a customized one? Would like to setup what I can before hand.

So, it may sound silly, but can or can't I CPU mine it? And if I can... is it worth it?

You can, and for the beginning, it very well may be worth it.  they've kept the block rewards low at the beginning to prevent temptation of those with massive power from coming in and instamining the hell out of the coin.

Particle still in the #3 place in allcrypt.com vote page:
http://www.allcrypt.com/beta/voting.php

First and second place are... Bitcoin and Litecoin. I don't know how and I don't really care (unless someone is cheating there, so that's not nice then).

Holy crap this Max Keiser is insane... Have you seen his twitter?

"Max Keiser ‏@maxkeiser  58s
.@crazyjbc Due to reach of @KeiserReport we are doing everything we can to keep the #max price below $20; which is not easy."


"Max Keiser ‏@maxkeiser  40s
We are basicaly playing the trolls for the benefit of anyone who wants to get in under $5. At some point, we won't be able to keep price low"


"Max Keiser ‏@maxkeiser  8m
Just like we made many, many BTC millionaires, I would not be surprised if we create an even greater number of #maxcoin millionaires.

Wow, I got  a bit  physically sick while reading this.

Has anyone ever used the exchange https://mcxnow.com/ ?

Used it a bit yesterday to sell those crappy Max coins.

Can i give that paper wallet i go. i presume you dont want the QR and that?

Sure thing! I threw the image up on dropbox for simplicity. I'd prefer png for the final image as well

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zw0v0iwxmxbmj4a/currentPaperWalletImage.png

Just make sure to leave the blank areas blank (other then the background).   To see where the qr images are placed you can go goto the site and click on the paper wallet tab but I don't have there exact location.

I wouldn't mind 2 so if anyone else is up to it I'll bounty that as well.  The more awesome they are the more awesome my bounty shall be Smiley

My entry is quite simple:

I can't speak to all of it but   digiaddress.org  is up and running, still waiting for a proper image for the paper wallet. I'll provide a small bounty for it if anyone is up to it. You can grab the current image off the site if your interested. Albeit a small bounty as its from my own personal mining, not the development account.

The light wallet is a while away, I suspect at least a month. There is a few things I'm finishing up with the android wallet before I can devote more time to it.

I'm currently finishing up "print to google cloud" feature for printing QR codes from the android wallet and will be pushing it out early next week. I'm also working on updating the color scheme to match DigiByte better and should have that at the same time.

That is just stuff I'm working on though, I'm not sure of the eta's on the other stuff.  I've been too busy working to stop and ask Smiley

I'll give a paper wallet image a go, if you don't mind. Feeling too lazy to do actual work today...

Edit: would be good to have a vector logo, thou...

This thread is getting better and better. It will be hilarious when all the "how can i solo CPU mine?" fades away.
271  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][MAX] MaxCoin - Alive and Kickin' on: February 08, 2014, 01:19:49 PM
So much fun to follow this thread... I m amusing myself and laughing constantly. Hundreds of pages people asking how to mine. But yet again devs told us that everything is Kickin'. Max stop talking about crypto anymore. You destroyed your career with MaXCoin... Yes it is biggest failure in  all computer related projects ever.

this video of nazis mining maxcoin is hilarious.


I didn't expect it to be so well written and I did not expect to laugh. And I did laugh!

I like how the devs just dropped the thread here and that's it. And to think about it, how bitcointalk ANN was important to them before - couldn't even launch a coin! I really don't like the fact, that this shitcoin can become popular only because cheap marketing tricks and those who actually work hard and honestly on their coins will stay in the dark.

For the sake of all what is left good in the world (and not because I'm bitter for the missed 0 hour mining opportunities) I hope this coin will fail without making too much damage to public relations with crypto world.

When do you expect new wallet to go live?

My personal expectation would be public beta a week (maybe two) after MoonMoon gets better. But I'm just imagining time intervals here Smiley


Congrats to chowdan for taking 87 PRT bank with 10 PRT bet @altsino.com!

"Receive" tab mockup!

Not much to note here. Just added links to web pages/apps, where user can aquire more PRT. Could be updatable from web service. Maybe.

So, the simplest so far and the last for today. Gotta get some rest.

Previously on "Particle Mockups": Dashboard and "Send" tab (my favorite)



This is an unofficial and incompleted mockup, I can not guarantee that final wallet will look like that, but I will try to push as many of it to the dev as I can.

Yes mining could be done automatically in wallets.  That seems to be common for POS approach, but it doesn't have to be limited to that.   However I think there are some issues to address.

1) There needs to be better control of the miner.  Currently the miner in wallets will peg each CPU it is allowed to use.   Instead you need to have some kind of "use x% of CPU" type of control.   Otherwise the wallet would be popular.

2) It would pretty much have to be on by default or else it wouldn't work.   Possibly a default setting of 10% of CPU so must people would mine it.

3) Most will never see the value of it if it is limited to solo mining, so by default it probably should point to a default pool so that everyone would get a some payments.  

4) Education!   Frankly I don't think the community could pull off this part of it and many would claim the wallet was malware or something like that.  


Oh, automatic mining! That's more interesting than what I was thinking about. It would be interesting to hear Moonmoon's thoughts about this. Eh, so much things are waiting for us in the future. I'm excited! Smiley

Guys, you will not believe this, but I just logged in CoinedUp IN 5 SECONDS and in first try!

You should have said "guys and girls" Smiley
I don't believe it, too!
A miracle on our eyes!

Apologies, my lady! *tips hat*

This looks like some kind of post chain of misunderstandings. Atleast, I missed the key parts of "gambling driven coin" and "dislike for miners". I'm just making a gambling site and I like miners (with a bit of jealousy, since I don't have hardware to do it too).

Sorry I wasn't trying to offend.   You are free to run your gambling site and while it isn't for me, many others may like it.

The mining comments are from before.  Right now PRT is losing miners.  Difficulty has been dropping and soon the awards will be down to 90 coins from the meager 180 it is now.  The dev has indicated that the mining problem can be fix, so I'll see what happens.   When it was be discussed there were comments about miners have too much control, etc.   That is where my mining comment came from.

Oh it doesn't take a GPU to mine PRT.  My son has been doing it with a netbook style laptop and he still got about 400 coins in a week.   You really just need CPUs.   

All good, no offence taken. So, correct me if I'm wrong, you present a problem, that in the long run there will be no miners left, because of low rewards? Wouldn't a built in-wallet "one-click-use" mining GUI solve this issue? Assuming, that Particle price will rise to some point, who wouldn't want to earn a couple of cents while being idle. Like in the old "get paid to surf" days. At the current state mining is definitely not for anyone (command line is a dark and mysterious place/ "set generate 1" whaaaat?) and, as MaxCoin launch displayed there is a high demand for "easy internet money" by clueless people. I guess there are hundreds of them still trying to CPU solo mine MAX today. Anyway, so moonmoon adds GUI, I can make a mockup for it right now, GUI has a button "GET PARTICLES", which would launch minerd for a pool who accepts wallet address as username. Easy, simple, effective, everybody wins.

Or am I looking at this from the incorrect point of view?

Someone was telling that it's pretty risky to mine with laptops due to high possibility of overheating .

Since the thread seems to be moving a bit, I suggest everyone to join https://altsino.com/ and gamble a bit with your PRT Smiley

It is enough of a gamble just mining them!
Ok, you done now? I believe you expressed your point of view in many ways already.

Welcome to crypto investing.

No I'm not done.   Gambling isn't a useful application that is going to drive the value of PRT.   I'm sure many others feel that way too.   I know there are many gambling sites for bitcoin too, it is a common application, just not one that is useful for most.  It is useful for the owner of the site to collect a lot more coins though!

Some at this forum have expressed a dislike for miners.   That shows they don't even understand how crypto currencies work.   Even the gambling won't work without miners.  

This looks like some kind of post chain of misunderstandings. Atleast, I missed the key parts of "gambling driven coin" and "dislike for miners". I'm just making a gambling site and I like miners (with a bit of jealousy, since I don't have hardware to do it too).
