Terracoin - not too low ?

[dust]

GeistGeld used 15 second blocks.  Faster blocks increase the amount of stale shares for pool miners and orphans, but 2 minutes is completely feasible.

OP, did you create this coin?  A search on the forum turns up nothing.  To be honest, this looks like just another pump-and-dump coin.

The OP told me he just found it browsing the forks of Bitcoin, and indeed a quick shows about 400 forks of bitcoin. So it could be anyone, although the OP's post count and join date are about the same date as the start of the coin. soooooo......

That said- pump and dump. Sure. Maybe. Probably. I'm mining at the moment because- why not! It would be interesting to see if BTC miners would leave Bitcoin for a copy of bitcoin once they can't mine because of ASICS anymore or if they would just choose Litecoin which is more established. I suspect there will be a lot of excess GPU's free at people's parents houses, at colleges, and other places that people will be willing to spend (someone else's money) in electricity to mine.

i think i have 2 Orphaned Blocks ?

Just out of curiosity what are you using to mine these? I tried it with GUIminer and only got 800khs on my 7970. But with just 1 CPU core I received about the same.

I am personally fascinated by something that is nearly an identical copy of Bitcoin, with the tinniest of tweaks added. Everything in the bitcoin world should already work: right out of the box. And this is probably the last time you could just duplicate bitcoin and have people jump on board- in the future with ASICS unless someone alters the coin more significantly, there is far too much has power going around to start up something, and people will be working hard to pay off their ASICS but will be looking for something for their older FPGA's to do.

Or maybe it's just fun to do. Who knows. I'm hashing!

Funny- I can't get terracoin GUI to run at the same time as the server. hmmmm.

what server ?

do mean cgminer ?

the terracoind server. How are you solo mining? I'm solo mining with Cgminer connecting to a running version of terracoind. But I can't run the GUI at the same time.I have to quit terracoind first.

Ok sorry still noobish here i started solo mining launching terracoin GUI not terracoind then connecting cgminer, is that right ?

Oh, well if it works too. Rock on.

yer it does i had to open terracoin-qt through cmd though and created a config file to solo mine then i keyed in all the info to CGminer then it all worked : D

Hashing power people throwing at this??

I left 600 M/Hash on it for a day.. will probably do a week or so?? if not more.. while difficulty down below 200... been at 60 one point today

would love to know what i'd need to do to setup a Blockexplorer for this chain.. and a pool for mining.... any pointers anyone?

All donations are welcome!!!

Everything that works for Bitcoin works for Terracoin, because, well, it IS Bitcoin. (In every way that really matters).

So just google any of the open source bitcoin projects: ABE for block exploring, p2p pool for a pool.

I like how https://www.bitaddress.org works perfectly for terracoin.

You could try https://github.com/terracoin/blockparser  it was recently patched to support terracoin.

I'm so curious about all these new users with so few posts who know so much about terracoin. Whats up? We obviously are curious, why don't the developers just introduce themselves already?

That link ( https://github.com/terracoin/blockparser ) comes from http://terracoin.org/

I know, I wasn't trying to be accusatory. Just suspicious. The person who started talking about Terracoin in the first place also only has a couple posts. So, you know-

Anyway, welcome aboard in any case!

i joined more than a year ago, but went to other things in between (real life) .. catching up by browsing forums and subforums...

Has anyone tried mining with any kind of FPGA yet?

Not that I know of- I suspect FPGA miners are trying to hold onto BTC for as long as possible.
