Great mainnet post on Medium, being added on Ledger will be super cool. Does the team plan to do a security/code review on the wallet, or the web browser?

So NET is still being traded now? Isn't that confusing as NIM should now be the main coin to get?

Yes. we are actually widening our bug bounty program to include those apps. More on this in another blog post soon

NET will remain tradable for a while to allow users to get NET and activate NIM. We are working hard to get NIM into an exchange as soon as possible. Is a bit more complex than listing an ERC20 token (Ethereum Based) since NIM has its own blockchain.

Why is there no new mining client for windows?

I also used the ICO to get some tokens, even though the price went down, I still believe that looking at this long term is the way to go. I cannot believe the price will fall when this launches..   21 million coins total is a good number I think.  This crypto is the most easy to use ever. Just share a link to your friends and they are using it instantly. That will be the game changer I think. I'm buying NET for sure at this moment.

New one released that dramatically improves hashing. Version 1.13 for Skypool. Very stable too.

if i buy NET right now and send it to convert to NIM , what time expecting to actually convert it?
I understand NET still trading for 6 months , but i dont understand that NET value is zero because you cant convert it or something
In simple words, if i buy NET now and convert it to NIM , when i actually get NIM tokens )

Have very bad hashrate with intel i7 5820x , which miner you must use for windows 10 x64 ? .

Have very bad hashrate with intel i7 5820x , which miner you must use for windows 10 x64 ? .

Check here : https://github.com/skypool-org/skypool-nimiq-miner/releases/

It depends if you have AVX2 (or AVX512F) or no. I didn't check for you, but there are several ways to know it.

If it doesn't have AVX2, then use the latest release (1.1.3).
If not, I guess you should use the v 1.0.0 (fast or extreme) but I'm really sure.

To verify if it's working properly, the compat version 1.0.0 makes around 2x more than the browser official miner. So with the last version, it should be more. Running Linux, the version 1.0.0 makes around 3/4x the browser hashrate, and the last version (still on Linux) makes 4/5x the browser's hashrate.
I don't know if it's useful for you, but if it can help...

Edit : Skypool miner is unofficial and is NOT open source. See this post.

Blog Update
Pool Mining, Exchanges, Ledger Promo, NIM Activation from NET

The Nimiq Blockchain keeps growing stronger, block by block, minute by minute. With so much happening, it is time for an update — this is a bulky one, let's get started.

Sorry, I forgot to say that, but yes, thank you.

Looking forward to the official pool ! Edit: just saw the blog update, great work as usual!

The unofficial windows miner from Skypool is far superior to the official one. Much more stable and about 50% more hashing power.

EDIT: I am referring to version 1.13 @ https://github.com/skypool-org/skypool-nimiq-miner/releases

Now to invent a GPU miner

WTF Nimiq? I mean really! WTF?

In your FAQ you say this:

What are NIM?

NIM is the token of the Nimiq Mainnet Blockchain. A total of 2.52 billion NIM were created in the Genesis Block during the Launch of the Mainnet. The minimum unit of NIM is called a satoshi and 100,000 satoshis equal 1 NIM. After the Launch of the Mainnet, NIM are rewarded to miners as described below in the technical section of this FAQ.

https://nimiq.com/#faq

How can you justify this statement? According to my "maths" that puts 1 NIM at a value of $88 which is BS. You can't call a unit of NIM a satoshshi for fuck sakes. Smarten up!

Hey hey. Chill

- I think you are confused with the NET/NIM rate and the min unit. 1 NIM = 100 NET.
- We are considering changing the name. Any suggestions?
