Quick preface- this cryptocurrency heavily references the game Dwarf Fortress (It's a free rouge-like if you want to try it) so expect confusing references.

Let's get the technicals out of the way:

Name- Dorfcoin
Symbol- DORF
Algorithm- Scrypt (POW)
Block Target- 2.5 minutes
Total Coins- 84 million
Mining Reward- 20 coins per block (Halving at 210000 Blocks)
Retarget Difficulty- 2016 Blocks
Infrastructure- Lite version of Bitcoin
Premine- 5% (To cover server fees, bounties, and unforeseen expenses)

Windows Wallet- http://www.mediafire.com/file/30vk1gkknyepkz5/dorfcoin-qt-windows.zip
Linux Wallet- http://www.mediafire.com/file/dhgd1qz2hioasac/dorfcoin-qt-linux.tar.gz

F.A.Q.

Who are we and why are we doing this?

We are a duo (I'm Andrew, Community Manager and she is Priya, Programmer) and I friggen love DF (She doesn't play anything other than Minecraft and Stardew Valley). Since Priya is having trouble finding work in programming and I'm doing nothing but playing DF and trading Crypto, I came up with the idea of mixing all these things together. And so, Dorfcoin was made!

Our plan. Like any good fortress, we set out a basic blueprint of where to take this cryptocurrency.

1. Build wallet and pool miner for Linux- Completed!
2. Create wallet for Windows- Completed!
3. Create a pool miner for Windows
4. Create a wallet and miner for Android
5. Have our coin listed on a Trade Depot (Exchange)
6. Offer real products in exchange for Dorfcoin (Silver and Copper Ingots to start)
7. Officially support a GPU miner for Linux/Windows/Mac- Windows Completed!
8. Create a wallet and miner for iOS
9. Create a casino minigame for Dorfcoin (on Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS)
10. Rebuild wallet with built in CPU and GPU Solo/Pool mining with user friendliness in mind for Linux, Windows, and Mac


How can I make money off this?

By mining! No longer must you send Dorf miners to certain death to accumulate wealth. Simply download a Linux or Windows Wallet

For solo CPU Mining-

In your wallet, go to Help -> Debug Window -> Console and type in setgenerate true -(# of threads you want your processor to use). It should look like this, without the quotations; "setgenerate true -3" for 3 threads. Give it about 30 minutes to sync with our network and you'll begin mining!

For solo GPU Mining-

Download this package- http://jmp.sh/f5gECnq and follow the readme.

You may want to encrypt your wallet for safety, but be sure to write down the password should you do so- WE HAVE NO WAY OF RECOVERING YOUR PASSWORD IF YOU LOSE IT. There have been horror stories of bitcoin millionaires who can't access their fortune because they lost their wallet's password. You don't want to become one of these people.


What makes us different?

We want to make cryptocurrency more accessible. And not just by adoption, but in mining as well. This is why we will make an app to mine Dorfcoin, though it cannot compete with a dedicated rig, pool mining with your phone will get people directly involved with Dorfcoin.

What are your thoughts on elves?

They're wusses. What do you mean they won't trade with me anymore? That wooden sculpture came from dead wood off my starting wagon- I didn't even murder any trees! (Yet).

Please stop spamming the forums with grandiose shitcoins.  Thanks.

I'm pretty sure there are already several scrypt gpu mining program that can be used on pools

without open ico selling , i think without bounty campaign

I'm starting to mine it with gpu 300h/s. We need block explorer.

Where are you located?
Why offering products such as Ag and Cu ingots? Do you have something to do with this industry?
Or just for the sake of adding that to your plans but will not happen in reality?

guys, how do I set up the miner? I am using ubuntu by the way.

Also, why does the blockchain take so long to sync??

London, Canada.
No, but I have previous connections to suppliers, so it'd be easy to supply it once Dorfcoin gets a value.

Can you tell me what steps you took?

The blockchain is much larger now. It takes approx 30 min to an hour to sync at this time.

New Bounty!

We never added a block explorer to our timetable- a mistake on my part as I assumed wallets could do this (They do download the entire chain after all). Therefore, rather than mess with our current schedule, I'm setting up a bounty of 5000 DORF for the first person who can get a stable public block explorer running and send me the configuration.

You can use Abe, an open source block explorer here- https://github.com/bitcoin-abe/bitcoin-abe/tree/v0.7.2

Here is Dorfcoin's source code (It's for Linux)- http://www.mediafire.com/file/gf6bmpshpq3c9dt/dorfcoin-source.tar.gz

Good luck!

Wallet takes ages to sync, its syncing but stil at 0%
Either its broken or it takes such a long time its a waste of time.
Was willing to try but cant even get that far so i can try.

No, I actually have the wallet syncing for the past 2.5 hrs but still I don't see any progress. I am stuck at 4Hrs behind from the start.

cgminer/sgminer/cudaminer

really though with scrypt you want to be using ASIC miners not gpu's so i'd imagine anyone mining this with gpu wont get alot

[Watanabe1505]

Too much alternative cryptocurrencies are launched nowadays and most of them are clones of other existing cryptos without useful solutions for computing. Therefore, they are forgotten very soon.

Dev exchange

[rattle99]

so.....I used the wallet started the miner, how do I find out that I am actually mining? like this doesn't show any H/s.
