Basic website up and running at Crimecoin.org.

Will be improved over the next few days with links added.

Thanks mate, we are making a good team. Just need to get some places to take BQC now.

The seed node in the conf file should be working properly now, getting you that first connection.

Crimecoin Version 1.1 should be finished by the end of the weekend at the latest.

It is like the older design.

As this was supposed to be a test coin, just a coin from me to learn from, I forked it from the Foocoin Github. So a Litecoin clone in essence, oldschool. And using a wonderful guide started working on it.

The guide is not 100% so I had to do more research and learn how to change other stuff myself. I compiled the whole thing under Windows 7, its tricker but I enjoyed it.

But this release has proven useful as I can see changes that need to be made with the difficulty adjustments, the seed nodes and the abbreviated name including others.

I am going to make Version 1.1 a more polished and stable with a sustainable difficulty adjustment.

Anyone that wants to help, then get on board the Crime train.

Just to let you know BBQcoin.org is down due to a hosting problem. They have not given a timescale yet.

Just wondered if someone could help?

On line 1000 on net.cpp I added a VPS IP address on there with a client running. That VPS has gone now.

What the best thing to direct this to? A dedicated VPS? A website host?

This is the reason why I think new users are not getting that first connection.

Took the test part out.

I will update the client and change the node to the current one. As it began just a test, my first VPS was terrible and kept going down, so I need to update it with the new one. Can anyone else help with a few nodes to add to the conf?

A brand new client does take a while to get connections, this will stop once I make the changes for Crimecoin V 1.1 and will change the coins to CRC aswell.

If VLC gets on an exchange, the owner of the pre mined coins could dump 1 million of them. Then the coin dies and everybody else's are worthless.

1000 CMC Bounty to the first stable pool to take on this coin.

I just turned the client on this morning and got 2 connections so far.

I think we are going to need more stable node, as this was supposed to be just a test coin, I have just one VPS and a client running on that acting as a node. Not sure if that's the best way to do it or not.

If people on here want me to stay working on this coin then I will and will add stable nodes, checkpoints etc into the next client update.

I will leave this coin to carry on.

The diff started rock bottom the same as most coins but with the 5 min blocks and 288 (284) max blocks then the difficulty rises quickly meaning that even I could not premine a massive amount of coins. Even for a test coin, this is quiet a fair one.

The lessons I learn from this one will help with the next one that I release sometime in the future.

I will be updating the Crimecoin client, I will also add some checkpoints too. That's only fair for the users that are mining this coin, test or not.

And I will put together a simple website for the coin.

The diff is now 0.3

What a way to get out of that problem? Change the nRetarget?

Anyone having any problems with Crimecoin at the moment? Any connection problems or anything?

I have 0 connections since I restarted it.

Yeah that was one of the last things I did. I love that pistol, I fired it in Las Vegas and when in the Army. The only thing I think I might has messed up a little is the block details. I put 25 per block, 5 min block but only 288 block a day.

So how will that effect things? Will the diff just go through the roof?

Your guide was great as I knew nothing about coding but I am learning so much everyday. As this is a test coin, I left a lot in, and some mistakes, like cmc instead of CMC. But hats off to you mate.

My main here though it to learn my mistakes and great a much better, different coin, maybe a sister coin to BBQcoin or something. I don't know yet, I have so much written down, plan after plan.

Don't stop till ya get enough!!

Well thanks to diatonic Crimecoin now has a block explorer.

It can be found here : http://altcha.in/chain/Crimecoin

I am guessing people just like crime or something.

Might as well support the test coin as people are mining it.

The name is a little risky lol

I think what is happening now is some very big miners are on the scene, maybe trying a 51% or something so nobody else can get a block, I have had a few though.

This chain will not be restarted though and I will be adding checkpoints but this is a coin to learn from to make my main one in the future better.
