Terracoin is ALLIIIIIVEEEE

[gyverlb]

Before everyone gets carried away with the price jump, I would like to remind people that the drama started with an attempt at fixing the oscillating difficulty between 3k ~10k.

Now it oscillates between 5k ~ 50k+.

It's actually worse off than the original adjustment. If the oscillation wasn't a problem then why fix it and cause all this drama over the week?

It used to oscillate down to like 50 difficulty. Literally, under 100. So then blocks start dropping every few seconds. And then skyrocket so high noone could get a block to add for a really long time once the big miners all pulled back out. With the new 5K floor at least the lowest drops are more reasonable, and difficulty comes down faster as needed if miners bail.

I didn't see under 100 myself but I can confirm it went into the 300s. So the 5k minimum is helping stabilize it a bit.

Still... after hoppable pools Terracoin is the first hoppable coin

It's better, someone with many gh/s is still screwing around though.

[bit-fxtrader]

so its been  a few days now, would you say that terracoin mining is more profitable then bitcoin mining? Speaking overall+including all fees and possible downtime from coin switching?

Looking at mining charts it looks to be slightly better on average but I have no idea if that translates into more $ as you still have to cash in the coins etc....Not sure how easy/how the fees are on TRC vs bitcoin

We finally saw some long unconfirmed bets get processed yesterday

Our own tests against our casino show  TRC operating normally once again, well done terracoin devs - it was a bumpy ride  there for a bit.

Hey guys. Now terracoin is really going to be alive. Just look:

Hiazma games, company which develops marine online-shooter SeaCraft (seacraft.sc), recently announced that it started to receive payments in cryptocurrencies.

HG develops online-shooter SeaCraft and iOS-game Dominator. The games will be released in first half of 2014, and sales of early access will start in Steam on 30 January.  The game received approval from Steam-community (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=110997073), where about 70 thousands gamers are waiting for its launch. About 15 thousands people registered on forum for taking part in beta-testing , which next step is planned on 18 December.

Shortly before, the company published a report (http://forum.seacraft.sc/en/index.php/topic/679-new-way-to-get-the-seacraft-%E2%80%93-crypto-currencies/#entry2992), that any player can now purchase a game set for cryptocurrencies - increasingly popular way of making payments. HG says, that they did it to support development of modern technologies.
In the short explanation for our site, HG company representative said that the current solution due to a request from the users who are willing and able to use more actively cryptocurrencies in everyday life. Community of people using Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies daily expanding and it needs a market where you can make payments without fear in honest transactions and legally. To facilitate these goals, the developers of SeaCraft are thinking about special bonuses for those players who will make the payment in cryptocurrencies.

Those willing to use the new method of payment undoubtedly exist, because even before the start of open testing  several hundred sets of the game has been sold on 15 thousand dollars, and the game itself, overcoming many difficulties on the way to release, could become a competitor of marine online game by Wargaming. We hope that the company will be faithful to its promises even after the game release.

At the moment, anyone can buy the game sets for one of the four cryptocurrencies:
Bitcoin, Litecoin, Novacoin, Terracoin.

And HG promises that this list may be extended, but not shortened. Why do they choose this list of currencies? Why it is not limited with only Bitcoin? Is it planned to hold micro-payments in cryptocurrencies and how they will receive funds? These and other questions will be sent to HG, and we will publish their response in further news.

You can order text services for cryptocurrencies (TRC included).
It is in the news on site of CP " SEONEST " (http://www.seonest.ru/). The organization carries out orders on writing original texts , translations from foreign languages, filling with content sites and online stores. Payments for the text content can be done with several cryptocurrencies (btc, ltc, trc, nmc).
The rate of exchange used from btc-e.com, and the commission is 3 % of the current rate.
The company is one of the industry leaders in filling sites with a quality content, because processing office staff is carefully controlled to meet the highest standards , making it difficult to achieve, when you hire a freelancer. For example, you can order an urgent translation news about bitcoin from Russian to English or buy texts to promote you site in search engines.


Q:

Can you give us an example of a typical use case?

A:

And that is the area of their work. You can order any texts to promote your site.

[rubenaco]

any notice?? there are so many coins and I don't find the original thread

[StatusSeeking]

I think Terracoin has gotten a bit of a bad rap recently. While it isn't terribly inventive, it has been relatively well implemented save the recent hiccup.

[StatusSeeking]

People tend to forget the sort of troubles that Litecoin and even Bitcoin underwent early on. Personally I hope to see Terracoin as at least a partial solution to fast transactions. I don't think it will 'replace' Bitcoin but rather complement it. That's not to say that this will absolutely happen, but rather that it may if we support it.

[rubenaco]

nobody likes TRC?
