[ANN] RoyalCoin - a new scrypt based coin

[memecoin]

It appears as though the chain has split, possibly an attempt to fork the chain awhile back. From what I've gathered there are currently two chains, the original legit chain from which I created the bootstrap.dat file from back in April now has 54288 blocks. The other (bad) chain has well over 584426 blocks.

A look at getpeerinfo reveals clients that have mixed subversions, all of which also have the starting height around 584426 blocks.

Code:

/DGC:2.0.0/
/WorldcoinFoundation:0.8.6.2/
/42:0.7.0/
/MemeCoin:2.2.0/

There are currently only a handfull clients, one of which is the block explorer that has the correct starting height and is also on the (correct) client version.

Code:

/Satoshi:0.6.3/

To stop your client from connecting to these rogue peers and seeing your wallet get out of sync, you need to edit your royalcoin.conf file and connect directly to the good peers. Using connect instead of addnode will prevent the other peers from connecting.

Code:

connect=50.128.154.237
connect=63.170.87.173
connect=70.164.233.141
connect=70.164.233.143
connect=173.238.180.157
connect=204.11.237.73
connect=108.172.121.86

These have the correct starting height at around 54294.

This is only a temporary fix until the client is updated.

it looks like Royalcoin, Worldcoin and Memecoin all use the same "peerMagic"
unsigned char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xfb, 0xc0, 0xb6, 0xdb }; // Royalcoin: increase each by adding 2 to bitcoin's value.
unsigned char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xfb, 0xc0, 0xb6, 0xdb }; // MemeCoin: increase each by adding 2 to bitcoin's value.
unsigned char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xfb, 0xc0, 0xb6, 0xdb }; // Worldcoin: increase each by adding 2 to worldcoin's value.
the peerMagic can't be changed without destroying the block chain.

The easiest fix would be to set the client/subversion name to RYC or Royal and only answer/accept other clients that have the same subversion name.
then each time a checkpoint is needed the client could be set to answer/accept other clients that have the same subversion name and build number.

The 'magic bits' can be changed without destroying the block chain.  The Peercoin chain originally used the same values as Bitcoin, but a patch has since changed those values.  Here is the relevant patch on GitHub: https://github.com/ppcoin/ppcoin/commit/6b0e5bf1425e8d96732cc7133aee048c2a35d17c

Changing the messageStart values and improving the difficulty adjustment should be done at a minimum in order to improve the health of the chain.

Hey guys I just found out about this coin today and I wanted to try and mine some but none of the mining pools listed in the op appear to be working. Is this coin even mineable at this point? Also I think it would be a good idea to update the op with relevant info to point new people in the direction

The original post can't be updated because the thread starter (and "developer") has long since abandoned ship.  It is only feasible to mine this coin when the difficulty is low, but that seldom happens because the difficulty adjustment is not reactive enough.  Perhaps some others have an idea as to where you can direct your hashing power.

Even with all those nodes, I'm only getting one connection.  I am trying to host my own node, but is there more than one other node on the network to which I can connect?  I do have the same number of blocks as Cryptsy (100572 as of this post), so I know I'm on the correct chain.

Thanks for the help.  

Where can I mine this ?

I just added Royalcoin to the Prohashing scrypt mining multipool.

You can either choose to mine the most profitable scrypt coin and be paid in Royalcoin, or choose to mine Royalcoin exclusively to support the network and get paid in Royalcoin (or any other coin).

Is this coin dead, or what's the status?

Is this coin dead, or what's the status?

I think it's dead for 2 years. Last active RoyalCoin's was on May 22, 2013, 06:50:02 PM.

Rimbit Co Ltd, the company behind Rimbit, is running a successful crowdfunding campaign ($130,831 raised) at Indiegogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/next-evolution-in-digital-currency. They are currently offering a buyout opportunity to holders of dead/dying coins.

Because you believe in the crypto currency idea, you – at some stage – had faith in RoyalCoin. They hope that by exchanging your dead coin for Rimbit, your faith will also move over to Rimbit. Users are the most valuable asset to any crypto currency and its community, and it would be a shame if you were to lose interest in the crypto currency idea because of a poorly developed coin, when there are viable alternatives like Rimbit.

You should get in touch with them by posting at their forum: http://rimbitforum.com/forum/47-altcoin-buyout/
