So basically they will get rich and be ballin' from the exchange fees they rake in everyday, but it won't affect EAC in any way and EAC will still be dead like every other alt...
I am not really a FOREX trader. I see the value of a currency in a different light. EAC is hard to obtain right now unless you are ALREADY into Crypto. With Incryptex, (as I understand it) you have a gateway by which anyone with fiat can purchase coins. This gives us fresh blood that's sorely needed. Right now, it's hard to buy crypto with fiat. You have to buy BTC, post it up on an exchange, exchange it for the coin(s) you want.. it's a huge hassle. Get some merchants with EAC as their default coin. Get an exchange where Joe Schmuck can prop down a VISA and buy it, then go purchase things with it. Put it out in everybody's face. Who cares if it *also* benefits other alts? We got more going than most of them as far as I'm concerned. +1 I totally agree...It would be great to be able to buy Cryptos directly with Fiat. It's such a hassle to do the whole "Fiat to Btc to Alt" thing that it keeps me from purchasing as much as I would like. A direct Fiat to Crypto exchange would definitely bring lots of new skin into the game. |

I talked to the owner last night for almost an hour about his exchange and his plans for it. I personally think that he should have a real contact person, however, I do not distrust him for using a domain handler proxy. I personally use one myself, as you will see if you run a WHOIS lookup on inceptioncraft.net. Like an exchange, I also handle coins through the pool and the faucet, but I am apparently trustworthy enough to contribute code, run two nodes, run a pool, faucet, block explorer, and create and hold the private keys for sending alerts. Additionally, the AllCrypt owner told me he is "strongly considering" creating a LLC for AllCrypt. Please give the exchange a fair chance, and not immediately call someone untrustworthy for wanting to protect their identity. There are legitimate reasons for someone to do this, and I have not seen any red flags that make me think they are untrustworthy. Running an exchange is much more liability than a pool. How much coins does your pool generate in a day? How much coins are deposited on e. g. poloniex? You are providing a service to people, they have the right to know who they are dealing with. This is not some "I'm protecting my identity" stuff, this is about protecting the customers' rights. If allcrypt would be free - no doubt this would be no problem. But you PAY for the service with FEEs. Would you buy your next TV from an online shop you don't know anything about (no contact, no company, no domain name handler info)? I wouldn't even create an account on such a shop site. I totally agree...I hate having to leave my details on ANY website.. |

I've been thinking about starting something called "Explore the Earth" to promote EAC. The idea would be simple, copied from various games in the internet: I would explore places in google street view and take a screenshot, then ask people to track/guess where I am. If a person guessed/ found the place (lets say by 100 miles or so), he/she would win that week. The prize would be EAC of course, the amount would depend how much the devs are willing to hand out weekly/how much we can gather for this. At the end of the round, a short description of the place, people and interesting history would be posted. This would encourage people to explore the earth and our environment, hopefully binding people together (and promote EAC too). I would love to see the prize money coming from the premine of course, since this is promotion. However I'm ready to hand out some of my own EAC for this if the devs are not up for it. Would be better if they'd participate in setting this game up though, as I'm not sure if it would be allowed here on bitcointalk - Do you think it would be considered a giveaway? What section would be appropriate for it? I'd like to see it on its own thread. Also, we could draw a map of a) the places we've "visited" and b) the countries the winners came from. I think this would be pretty cool looking after bunch of rounds! I'd like some help in this. I'd like to see someone more fluent in english than me to write the description articles - I can communicate in english, but I'd really like to see a professional, 100% correct grammar... A journalist touch, you know? E. Lets try this out.... Where are we this week? No prize this week, just enjoy the view and the hunt for where we are.... Link it on google maps or just say the country and city/town  Hint: A famous historical battle was fought near this place almost 1000 years ago.  It took a little time searching Wikipieda and Google Maps, but I'll say Hastings... That was kind of Cool, and a little History lesson to boot. |

On the topic of things only Earthcoin could have/pull off.  Since EAC is very multinational in it's distribution, why don't we all find goods that symbolize our country, culture, or that just don't exist in other nations and post them up on Earthazaar? This would fit our namesake really well. I think my favorite thing I would buy from say, Japan, are flavored Kit Kats! Someone please post these and I will buy them all. Thoughts? Can you do this? I live in the US, what would other nationalities want from us that isn't already everywhere? I'll sell them to you. I think this is an incredibly good idea... Yum....Anzacs or Tim Tams from Oz, Roasted Chicken Crisps from the UK, Biltong from South Africa, L&P Cola from Kiwiland, Mozarts Balls from Austria...  |

Does btc38 have an English page? I can't begin to fathom what the page says...  |

Yeahhhh....Now we're cooking with Gas... The new bfgminer almost Doubled my hashrate and 0 HW errors. Great job guys!!! After 12 hours the new bfgminer is still ticking along with out any problems and still no HW errors. The biggest improvement is not so much a higher Hashrate (these are only slightly improved) but the +40% HW errors are completely gone. That alone increased my effective Hashrate by 40%. I dont know what code you changed in the Mod., but it worked. |

My CPU usage is about 40% using bfgminer v2 with the built in Proxy and about the same using bfgminer as a Proxy and cgminer as Hasher(as pictured in my last post). If I try to use mcproxy+stratumproxy+bfg or cgminer the CPU usage rockets to 100% and the Hashrate is very low, after 15 min. the laptop will overheat and shutdown. I don't even have to start the miners, as soon as the mcproxy+stratumproxy startrunning the CPU usage goes to 100%

waiting for new generation BFG
BFG2 doesn't work well with some ASIC devices
try: use 2nd gen bfgminer with "--http-port 1234" optrion: eg: bfgminer.exe --http-port 1234 -o ibipot.com:3333 -u user.work -p 1 then use regular bitcoin mining software for your asic, eg: cgminer -o 127.0.0.1:1234 -u bla.bla -p bla this way you might get better result with some hardware Funny enough...this worked...I think...Kind of...By using bfgminer as a proxy and a normal Antminer supported cgminer to hash with, the cgminer is showing improved hash rates (about 600 kh/s better)...but the Proxy hash rate shown on bfgminer is only about 200kh/s and the hashrate on the Pool is again different. The cgminer shows alot more accepted than the bfgminer. Which is correct?    This setup is Worker2 |

Got my 3 Antminers today from ibipot.... Thanks... |

Pools not working yet?
v.zeuspool.com is working perfectly. A ton of blocks already found. IDK about perfectly, it keeps dropping my hashrate to 0. And has yet to report even half of my hash. same here...12Ghs and pool shows 0.... |
|
|

So the best is bfgminer or cgminer for pool mining?? More accepted shares in the first o in the second?
I find that if your'e using Antminer U1s, bfgminer is a little better. |

I've been battling with the same low output issues since I started mining from the coin launch. Solo or Pool, bfg or cgminer, the "coins per day" stays about the same. I have 6 Antminer U1s that are modded to 1.2v (3Gh/s) and they run consistantly at 1 - 1.3Gh/s. It doesn't matter if I run 1 or 6, the output is the same(based on the CPU used). With an i3 CPU I can run 4 modded AMUs and the CPU usage is about 85-90%, with an i7 CPU, I can run all 6 with an avg. 75% CPU usage. Bfgminer has a higher overall Hashrate but lots more HW errors (38-40%), Cgminer has a lower overall Hashrate but almost no HW errors. The effective hashing rate remains about the same as far as I can tell. The biggest difference between bfgminer and cgminer seems to be in the Pool hashrate. Bfgminer shows my hashrate to be 4.5Gh/s with 4 AMUs, the pool worker hashrate is almost always 1.5 - 1.75 Gh/s lower, Cgminer registers a much lower hashrate on the pool (50-60% lower) than in cgminer itself. Solo mining cgminer seems to hash a little faster.
I don't really have a problem with the lower hashrate because it's in keeping with the premise of the coin by restricting the hashing power of the huge miners out there. I just can't nail the consistency down in the relationship between CPU and Hashing power. It looks like an i3 Processor will handle about 5 Gh/s before the CPU is maxed out (using Antminer U1s), and 8Gh/s with an i7. These numbers are based on my observations using my Laptops, others may get totally different figures..I don't know... What bugs me is if I am able to mine with a max hashrate of 4 to 5 Gh/s with an i3 Processor, why can't I do it with only 2 AMUs? My modded AMUs will mine a consistant 2.9-3.1 Gh/s each on a SHA256 coin. Theoretically...I should be able to max out an i3 Processor with 2 AMUs (instead of 5) and an i7 with 3 AMUs.
Like I said, I'm not really Bitching about the mining, but it would be nice to know if the hashrate is somehow limited "Per Device" in conjunction with the CPU or purely by a hashrate to CPU factor. It would save me what little Hair I have left trying to find the "Best" setup with bfgminer and cgminer...

Is ibipot.com pool down? I can't seem to get a connection with my miners or log in to the site.
Edit: Nevermind...after 15 min. it started connecting again...

the coin isnt really trading on poloniex, sell orders around 900 cga and buy orders around half btc. lol
I know a few people who are holding on to them, waiting for the popularity to increase. People are dumping. I have been scrounging my BTC so I can buy more. I've been doing the same...Holding what I got and buying what I can on the dips... . I think it'll be worth it. |

Yess...it works... Thanks Guys. Looks like my Joy was premature...I was running the wrong version of bfgminer, the latest with the built in Proxy...  The v1 bfgminer won't start. The stratum Proxy and the mcproxy.jar3 seem to be connecting. Do I need to build a conf. file in bfgminer? |
