hello guys, im the dev of SerraCoin, I want to apologize because i didnt announce that we were shutingdown this coin. I asked to Bittrex to remove SerraCoin from their Page the same day we Shutted down, (it was 2 days after the launch), The main problem was (as you can imagine) with block 800 we needed to make a Fork, and we (our team) felt that it was too early to make a fork, and even that, we had a very awful launch.

We didnt scam you, SerraCoin didnt even have Value in Bittrex, it was up for only a few hours till the Pools reached Block 800.

My Apologize for this situation. SerraCoin is dead we are not developing or working anymore. it was just a bad launch with a bad code.

cant they just fix it would like to hear from the devs either way. dont care if they continue or not or they just scammed everyone very well it only traded on bittrex. bittrex should freeze their account or something or release their details email address at least so people can at least say ffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu to them

You would be better off mining PopcornCoin at this point...  and that isn't saying much!

What link are you using I will test also

Re: Automated checkpoints would make it centralized. We definitely will have checkpoints with each update through.

Also, what are your thoughts on "quicker blocks versus less storage for blockchain"? I don't think we need to continue the "litecoin is silver to gold" - I like a monetary base of around 20 million or even less.

I remember reading something about protecting a coin from a 51% attack by bookmarking the blockchain before the attack started. What if this new chain had automatic, even hourly, bookmarks/checkpoints. Should someone start up a 51% attack, just wait until it's over and revert to before the attack started.

One of the things that has made Litecoin so popular is the quick transaction confirmations. I think a new coin should be able to match or even beat LTC. (Maybe 2 minute intervals instead of LTC's 2.5?)

I think it should definitely be a more CPU-friendly coin. A lot of computers come with nicer dedicated graphics now, but higher end cards still blow these out of the water. If a GPU friendly coin was launched, it could easily be taken over by current BTC miners or ASICs. CPU-friendly coins more or less level the playing field, but, as mentioned, are vulnerable to botnet attacks. This is where the checkpoint system comes into play.

I don't know if a checkpoint system is the definitive answer to 51% attack protection, but there should be some sort of way to protect from 51% attacks. The coin I was thinking about looking into developing I wanted to call APC, or ArmoredCoin, or something along those lines, signifying it's strength and protection.

As for the amount issued, maybe follow this example: BTC is gold, LTC is silver, this new coin could be the copper equivalent. Issue 10x total amount relative to Bitcoins, and then make these coins worth 1/10th of a BTC once they become established.

I had a few other ideas, but this is all that comes to mind at the moment.

When you solo mine there is no definite reward, at least for a while. Solo Mining differs from Pool Mining in that you are trying to generate a block on your own, so instead of being paid for each share you generate (As in Pool Mining - Generally the reward of a block is split up between many miners based on the amount of shares they have submitted), you are only paid when you generate a valid block, and the difficulty has risen a lot since yesterday on the bytecoin network, so this would be quite a feat without a lot of hashing power (e.g. a few GH/s).

TL;DR You would probably be better off pool mining (If you don't have vast amounts of hashing power)
