Added a "mini"  block explorer. Some exchanges require two explorers

Great job!
and nice price now only 200sat..

[cyberspacemonkey]

Nice pump going on right now and this is just the start 

[BanzaiBTC]

Exactly, we are only beginning!



Tomorrow I will take on the OP a little.. I don't like these texts/links etc.. They need a button... Also a few new icons will be added in the menus for a better visual experience

Now that's what I call a thorough answer, awesome!

The mini-exchange idea sounds interesting, but don't underestimate the knowledge and security that are required to make it somewhat hack-proof. An audit might be in place, but that costs a LOT of money. Also a lot of time and effort are required if this is to be done properly. Is it safe to assume this mini-exchange idea is planned for a later stage when the coin has established a more solid base? Great idea nonetheless!

I am well aware of the safety issues these kind of services have. Of course I will not make anything public before an audit has been done

Glad to hear that! Curious to see the outcome of the mini-exchange, although it will take a tremendous amount of time, effort, and patience before anything can be made public.

I agree, transitioning the coin from PoW to either PoS or a PoS/PoW hybrid might be a good move. How about combining PoS with a special staking reward program? Might make the coin even more interesting for (new) investors. If the community votes for a transition to PoS or PoS/PoW hybrid, will you start with a clean chain?

You're right about the fact that a lot of features have already been (newly) introduced by other cryptocurrencies. And it's not always necessary to reinvent the wheel, so I personally believe this gives Chipcoin a great opportunity to choose from a plethora of already developed features. How about creating - besides the PoS reward incentive - some sort of second layer incentive? Not sure if that will fit the concept of Chipcoin, but it was merely a quick thought.

I have a few ideas in mind for PoS. I personally favor hardcoded pos blocks. As in 1 CHIP per PoS block instead of rewards based on a yearly %. It has to be worth it to stake your coins! The bad news is, this will probably involve a swap, so a new chain indeed... Coding PoS into the current source is one hell of a job to do.. And requires a lot of testing. It is way easier to clone a solid working source, and built the coin's future features from that

+1! I like your way of approaching this, making it actually worth something to stake your coins. If a swap really appears to be necessary then so be it, even more so if it might affect the coin's future in a positive way.

Hmm.. I honestly don't see any added value in nor the need of creating a merchandise store let alone merchandise in itself. Why would anyone want to buy a Chipcoin shirt? Unless I have misinterpreted the idea, could you elaborate on this? Perhaps focussing on social media actions (like the Twitter campaign you mentioned) to create more awareness is a better move.

A whitepaper would be great, looking forward to the first draft.

My compliments about your interaction with the community. I like how you discuss everything with the community first and keep up the positive vibe. KUDOS to you! Really curious to see where Chipcoin will be heading.

A webshop with merchandise is pure service. Some people really do buy shirts and other stuff of the coin they support. Besides that a few other things will be added as well overtime

Honestly I haven't thought of it like that. You might be right, guess I just didn't see myself buying merchandise..

Network status and a live list of available nodes

Lovely feature update, great to have more insight into the network. Ever thought of adding a second Block Explorer besides Blockpioneers in case one goes down?

Sorry, my fault, i should have specified it. i am looking for the Linux wallet. i know that there is a Windows and Mac wallet in the opening post but no link for Linux wallet.

I can not find a link to download the wallet or is it not available yet? Just curious, I would like to try it.

The wallet links are in the op

OP update coming today. I had some difficulties with my computer the last few days

[Crypto_Towelie]

I bought some more chippers today  

Who is the twat at 240 sat sell side? You are giving up 2.5% of total coin in this stadium?

Shall I drop the price?

[BanzaiBTC]

Anyone should do what they think they should do 

I am not concerned about the price/buy or sell orders etc.
Dumpers give new people a chance to buy in.

Also.. I am slowly buying myself each day.. Every chip is a chip..

Was going to ask if anyone was having a problem with wallet synching, but
went to explore and saw no block ofund in 2 hours . My wallet says synching 2 hour behind.

Hopefully it is going to resolve itself??

I noticed this as well.. I am monitoring.. AND mining..


We need to act fast.. Its been a week since I asked for opinions about PoS.. Only one or two replied to it.. We need to go PoS asap after tonight.. This means a swap will occur soon. Meanwhile.. please keep mining to keep the chain moving.. It seems the miners just stopped... I only have about 4 mhs myself.. which I will throw in... If this does not resolve by mining a few hours.. we need a more drastic measure 

I will contact exchanges tomorrow about PoS plans.

Now I need some sleep.. its 6 in the morning here..

[BanzaiBTC]

AAAAAAAND we are moving  again



we need to decide soon guys... Either a swap to PoS or a code update with higher PoW blocks for miners

Its a shame it doesnt work out like I hoped... But this was in the back of my head  


EDIT: I will keep hashing for a while.. now some sleep

[CoinMin3r]

I'm not getting any connections at all. I waited for an hour too but showing 0 connections.
Any nodes for conf files?

[coldfusion]

I like POS , just make sit worthwhile opening the wallet I guess.

But I like CHIPS and I will keep buying and supporting whichever direction you go.

With regards to moving from PoW to PoS - I fully agree, however, it shouldn't be just another PoS coin. Instead, it would be great to have a custom reward schedule that really differentiates Chipcoin from other coins.

Just a quick thought, haven't really thought this through (yet) so I don't know if this will work... But how about basing the stake reward on both a collateral for a minimum amount of coins held in the wallet, and the amount of time you're staking?

So for example there are 5 reward levels:
Level 1 Stake reward
Collateral: minimum of 50.000 CHIP held in wallet
Reward: Level_1_reward (x1.0)

Level 2 Stake reward
Collateral: minimum of 100.000 CHIP held in wallet
Reward: Level_1_reward (x1.1)

Level 3 Stake reward
Collateral: minimum of 200.000 CHIP held in wallet
Reward: Level_1_reward (x1.2)

Level 4 Stake reward
Collateral: minimum of 400.000 CHIP held in wallet
Reward: Level_1_reward (x1.3)

Level 5 Stake reward
Collateral: minimum of 800.000 CHIP held in wallet
Reward: Level_1_reward (x1.4)


You get the idea.. Thoughts on this guys? Like I said: No idea if this can or will work, so any feedback, criticism, opinions, etc. are more than welcome!

I have been running full 8 threads through my cpu and no blocks for 8 days - got 40 on the 10th a couple the 11th and 12th then zip

Hmmm.... I guess that has to do with the miners hopping on and off... Leaving us at a rather higher diff for cpu minig.. I am now hashing for 36 hrs, and the blocks keep popping in...
