Totally love the FTC Icon

With that thread concurrency, anything above 13 intensity will cause it to stale out

So when's MNC getting it's own home page? 

Lol I feel the same way MaGNeT

Awesome, just put my miners back on and it's working for now, hopefully your fixes should prevent it from happening again

These are just some ideas for a new coin, just to throw out for those who might be able to implement it or find it useful to build upon so don't bash me for they're implausible. I'm not a programmer and I've literally only had INTRO experience in programming, so I'm far from being knowledgeable enough to know what works and what doesn't. Anyways, this is what I've come up with.

How probable would it be to have a coin and a corresponding mining client that "hopped" between 3 or more algorithms based on a combination of random intervals and dramatic changes in hash rate (for example a 10% increase in hash rate within 5 minutes)? If the hash rate doesn't change within a time, it'll switch to another algorithm. If for an amount of time it still doesn't change much, then it will use those numbers for calculating difficulty. So difficulty would be what's calculated as average after any outliers due to ASICs jumping in during a compatible algorithm. This way, it would be a strong  defense against any ASICs and FPGAs. It would also keep GPU miners in existence for a much longer time. With this defense, a retarget time of a day or two would be nice as to keeping an accurate difficulty adjustment.

As for caps and lost coins, I think this might be an interesting solution should it be possible to implement. There should be some sort of verification or checking of client activity to see if the wallet has been accessed in a certain period of time, say a year or two. If not, a "virtual count" of the existing coins would subtract that amount from the count, which then affects the difficulty allowing more coins to be mined faster depending on how many "lost coins" there were. If for some reason, those lost coins were to come back into "existence" then it would take that into account and likewise increase the difficulty appropriately. The ideal "count" to work up to would be 160 million. I like the idea of the transaction fees getting destroyed, allow endless coins to be mined. If for some reason, a pile of lost coins were to come back and push the count over 160 million, 75% of the transaction fees would go to miners, and 25% would continue to be destroyed until the count was back to 160 million and then it would go back to destroying the entire transaction fee.

For the initial release, I think it would be good to have a retarget of a few hours for the first few days in order to keep the difficulty as accurate as possible to keep the first miners from getting a huge bulk of coins during what otherwise would be an extremely low difficulty for what would've been an entire day or two, in accordance to the original retarget time. Also, both a client and miner should be released for both linux and windows prior to the first mining day to keep it fair for all that want in. This include a guiminer for those who want or need it.

Again, I understand that some of my suggestions might not be possible, but these are just ideas, use them as you will if any of it seems worth anything. However, if anyone is able and does implement any of
my ideas into a new coin, please let me know as I would like to participate in a coin that I helped create. It'd be also nice if you would name it Xenocoin, as I think it's a really cool name :p

Yea it just happened to me again... and I'm using reaper btw. For some reason I'll stay at 5.6k for a half a day, then all of a sudden all my miners drop to 10-30 k/h giving me a total of only around 300 k/h. It's very frustrating especially since this is PPLNS, and I've never gotten my percentage of estimated coins per day. I've been mining 3 days now with my estimated coins per day being 500-1500, and I only have 900 coins because I keep having to rebuild my PPLNS count.

I'd mine TRC once my BFL ASIC gets here... but knowing what they've been so far, if TRC was to die it would happen long before I ever get it 

Anyone else not able to connect to server? My hash dropped from a few thousand to 300 and all my miners say cannot connect to server all of a sudden, but it looks like it's not really affecting anyone else according to the pool stats.

I'll take some! Haha, I'm supporting TRC all the way so I would welcome it Now only if I could finally get my BFL ASIC I would keep that on the chain to increase our permanent network hashrate, but who knows if I'll even ever get it -.- But yea, even getting rid of ASIC miners would work for me since I have decent GPU power, and ASIC just lets those with more get more.

This wait's ridiculous. We should just forget about it so we can get a pleasant surprise, let's say, a year from now on our door step lol.

This probably isn't your problem, but my BitDefender blocked the website of a pool I was mining at and likewise blocked the ports from my miners. Not until I turned off the web blocker did it work again.

PPS is best in my opinion, especially since there's downtimes with pools occasionally, or you might want to try another coin and jump to another pool. A lot less hassle too and you know what you have instantly.

Long live Terracoins!

Man, once my BFL ASIC finally gets here I'll mine BTC a few days then settle it on TRC. God knows how long until I get it though -.-

I've been trading alt coins at BTC-e. For the most part it's very user friendly, and the troll box is entertaining haha. Considering crypto-trade once they open April 15th though as it looks very sleek.

Yea most people suggest keeping it in your wallet if you can afford transferring coins back and forth.

I started mining in October and I reformatted my PC a few weeks after I started... I wasn't all that serious about it yet and forgot to back it up. Lost a couple hundred lol. Wonder if some sudden loss in thousands of bitcoins will ever happen to bump up the prices

Started mining in October, wish I had gotten in sooner. Anyways, I'm with cryptos for the long run, though for some reason I feel biased towards Terracoin (maybe it's the name or the fact my wallet address starts with my favorite number lmao). Happy mining!

Hi guys, I've been doing small time mining on different coins for only a few months on two desktops that I have. I figure it'd be a lot better to have a mining rack similar to the one in these images

Anyone have a small walkthrough on making one just so I know I'm putting it together the right way? I've tried to look for one online but all I can come up are tutorials for basically putting together a desktop or for rigs on sale.

Much appreciated,
