BipCoin - CryptoNote, profitable to mine [same chain, new dev 2017]

[forknote]

new dev is bipcat still the coin mascot? 

[Tony128]

One simple suggestion if you are trying to improve things, put in a ticket/request to have coinmarketcap update the link to the current announcement.
It would be alot nicer to have that announcement link point to this thread directly.

Thanks! CoinMarketCap.com has been updated to the correct announcement thread.

Thanks for sorting that out @KittyCatTech. Little things like that play a big role when people decide whether or not to invest in an ultra microcap like Bipcoin. Really nice to see that the people involved still care about this project.

new dev is bipcat still the coin mascot? 

I still enjoy the logo.

Maybe something more along the lines of a large cat would do bipcoin justice (I can picture a purple beveled Lions head on a shield with nogov crypto remaining).  I'm assuming the real bip cat is still alive and well with MWD.

Dev. Is it possible you can link up twitter to coinmarketcap.com for updates on the coin and current developments, its also a good indicator that the coin is alive for all those people trawling coinmarketcap for their next move.  also making weekly updates on twitter isn't a bad thing either, id be willing to retweet for you

cheers

I think the logo needs to be updated if you want any decent exposure. It's okay to have a joke mascot but it needs to look professional (i.e., Doge).

Maybe it should even be something like:

My thoughts exactly. I'm curious as to what's going on right now. Is there anything new and exciting we should know about and spread the good word? Maybe even a basic tutorial on what you can do with your Bipcoin right now.

A design contest with the winner winning BIP would be a great idea too (or even BIP + another coin to entice everyone).

[Mynero]

Updating the logo is not a bad idea, even if technical development is probably the most important thing at this stage. There are plenty of good graphic designers willing (or having to) work for cheap rates, so getting a professional design would not be difficult. Or a community-driven design might be a way to create some buzz.

Anyway, I am definitely no graphic designer, but here is a (public domain) big cat image with the name of the coin, just my 2 cents: https://imgur.com/a/HAK3J

[mjg-1]

But why buy a deadcoin? I have seen no evidence of development. No development, no future.

I am working on WebApp development so that sites can use the coin and SamuelPickwick is working on changes to the coin to make the hash rate and difficulty more stable. More announcements will be coming soon, this is a good time to buy.

Thanks and good to read!
I should look more often in here :-)
Thought it would be my hardware or the pools go crazy.

[megacrypto]

a bit off topic question .... im running my own private pool and for some reason the payment is pending and i get this error when pool starts:

Code:

2017-10-14 16:10:58 [payments] Error with send_transaction RPC request to wallet daemon {"code":-4,"message":"Wrong amount"}
2017-10-14 16:10:58 [payments] Payments failed to send to {"amount":63948000000000,"address":"<my mining addr>"}
2017-10-14 16:10:58 [payments] Payments splintered and 0 successfully sent, 1 failed

this is the pool's configs:

Code:

    "coin": "bipcoin",
    "symbol": "BIP",
    "coinUnits": 1000000000000,
    "coinDifficultyTarget": 45,

....

 "payments": {
        "enabled": true,
        "interval": 600,
        "maxAddresses": 50,
        "mixin": 3,      
        "transferFee": 100000000,
        "minPayment": 10000000000,
        "maxTransactionAmount": 0,
        "denomination": 1000000000
    },

....

on the pool's front end when i check my mining address i get:

Code:

Pending Balance: 63.948432275157 BIP
 Total Paid: 0.000000000000 BIP
 Last Share Submitted: less than a minute ago
 Hash Rate: 812.00 H/sec
 Total Hashes Submitted: 93731120

which is the correct amount for the blocks mined!

update:

im using https://github.com/forknote/cryptonote-forknote-pool and it seems that bip's simplewallet uses a different params to transfer out coins and this is causing the pool's payment to fail!

this is how i run my simplewallet:

Code:

./simplewallet --wallet-file <mywalletfile> --password <mywalletpass> --daemon-host 127.0.0.1 --daemon-port 8433 --rpc-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --rpc-bind-port 8434

[megacrypto]

ok .... managed to get payment processed by pool ... here is what I did in case someone wants to build a pool:

run simplewallet with "--DEFAULT_FEE 1000000000" parameter

in the pool config file, set the as the following:

Code:

   "coin": "bipcoin",
    "symbol": "BIP",
    "coinUnits": 1000000000000,
    "coinDifficultyTarget": 120,

....

  "payments": {
        "enabled": true,
        "interval": 600,
        "maxAddresses": 50,
        "mixin": 1,      
        "transferFee": 1000000000,
        "minPayment": 100000000000,
        "maxTransactionAmount": 0,
        "denomination": 1000000000
    },

and that got it going :-)

i guess just another dead coin!!!

[gtzanap]

is there something wrong with the network?! no peers are connecting and all pools are stuck at block 201817?!

I can sync just fine to 202627 right now.
I don't see a problem, though I'm starting to wonder when we'll see those cool new things the dev mentioned.

We need people who are willing to spend some BTC(Bitcoin) to buy CryptoNight hashing power on nicehash.com mining BipCoin to keep the BipCoin network stable. If you are interested please open up a nicehash.com account and contact me about setting up the API for automatic order updating. It can be automated to add more hashing power when blocks are taking longer to confirm. I think we should try to keep the block times under 60 minutes.

In the CLI(Comand Line Interface) wallet, type 'help' to see the commands.

The commands are explained in detail at the download page on the website: https://bipcoin.org/?page_id=93

I would suggest that you download the Windows GUI (Graphical User Interface) wallet which is available at the same link above. The GUI wallet is user friendly and works great! Just click the link "Download Windows GUI wallet v0004" on the download page.
