Guys, I am all for taking as long as necessary to develop something and getting one's ducks in a row, even if it takes a year. In the ugly world of virtual currencies there is very little that can be done to assess devs and whether they are above board or not. One of the few things that can be looked at is actions and if a promise is made if the promise is kept. I am therefore a strong believer in less is more. If a dev is working on something then dont give a fixed deadline unless you have the resources to deliver - project management 101. Rather talk about in the next few weeks or couple of months or when it is ready or keep a low profile. If you want to be loud, fine, but have the resources in place to make good then on what you say.
Lets look at 2 scenarios:
Dev A: Ill deliver feature X by next Monday. On Monday the dev posts his dev did not have access to the internet. By Wednesday he is sick. By Friday who knows? People get anxious and start to ask questions. Dev finally delivers by the next Monday.
Dev B: Ill deliver over the next few weeks or so. Monday in 2 weeks the dev delivers and makes a post with the links. Everyone claps hands for the dev for delivering.
Both achieve the same delivery date but dev B has also achieved some credibility whereas dev A has lost credibility.
I re-iterate that I would like to see warp succeed, but I have lost twice recently with coins where the dev starts with excuses after making promises and it turned out to be a duck. Apologies for saying if something looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck that it probably is a duck. It is possible though that it could not be a duck, but statistics in virtual currencies are heavily against that. I would appreciate if the dev can work on his delivery statements and rather make statements when the delivery is ready for release or then if he decides to make a promise, to keep to it. It is not my coin though so I have no say in how dev wants to run things. It is important to make sure that there is nothing that could make the public think it is a duck (perhaps mistakenly), especially if the coin has the potential to get onto a big exchange like Polo and if the dev team wants to be taken seriously. This actually makes me think that I tweeted Polo to consider warp a few hours before the promised release which then did not happen (which in hind-sight was premature). This should be enough evidence that my intentions are pure.

Observing what is going on here I get the same feeling as with Axiom (where I lost some). The warp dev also seems to be outsourcing his dev work, which in itself is not a problem, just that it creates more risk especially if the 3rd party is not joining the party. At some stage also the funds will run out. It just seems that the excuses are lame - in the old days "the dog ate the homework" and today "the Internet was down".
I would like to see warp being successful just like anyone else, I am just observing the warning signs.

pow 1125 diff ha....
The dev has coded POW in as well at 0 rewards, probably to move the chain along if POS gets stuck. The question is how will the dev distribute the bulk of the coins.

I'll try my best to sort the current problems, but a relaunch may be needed. Not really what's causing this block reward.
Well looks like i just found a block, but is there any IRC channel possibly for neptunium? Or any chat? How much did you get for the block? Only the 0.000000000001 or what ever it is, i will mine a few block and report back later , if thats okay, lets see if it starts giving normal blocks soon As I know,cryptonight coins does not change block reward. they start from initial and only decrease imo I wonder what the next reward will be after 0.00000001 PS: blocks still 0.00000001

So i feel pretty stupid now. but yes what is the exact syntax for the start_mining command... 7 core cpu here.
start_mining [7] , start_mining [<7>] , start_mining <7> -- not cutting it. either invalid arguments or failed to connect to daemon
Halp me pplz im stupid.
Because I am a nice guy 1) open neptuniumd and let it sync 2) open simplewallet.exe and setup wallet 3) get address 4) in neptuniumd window type start_mining <addressfromsimplewallet> 7 choose 1 core less than your max More simple step create a .bat file with this command : neptuniumd.exe --start-mining "your wallet address" --mining-threads 7 hope it help Yes, but my steps are teaching the grammar where your step is easier but teaching them the phrase in the foreign language

Because I am a nice guy 1) open neptuniumd and let it sync 2) open simplewallet.exe and setup wallet 3) get address by typing address in simplewallet 4) in neptuniumd window type start_mining <addressfromsimplewallet> 7 Notes: 1) choose 1 core less than your max. 2) leave both windows open and open the daemon first and simplewallet second. 3) remember to allow the daemon access through your firewall.
