Started a small auction for 10 coins here to see if we can discover a fair market price:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=205024.0

Auction ended at a rather disappointing 0.2LTC, putting the current price of Elacoin at about 2LTC per 100. Might not be worth to mine these after next difficulty increase...

[wmikrut]

only people that can mine it is linux users, no client for windows

It's not like Linux user received a 'Linux Binary' with the distribution of the code.
We had to actually compile the code to get a working binary.

You could follow the directions in the doc directory and -- make a 'windoze' binary just the same way.
Linux people didn't have the binary 'handed' to them.... sheesh.

Just let this fail of a launch die already, it went as bad as it possibly ever can. Just add a wallet stealer and you have a 100% failure in here.

what a shitcoin

Went to sleep about a half hour/hour after the launch time, wake up and there are new pools and on block 11k already...pretty irritated, I was hoping he would push launch back until same time today.  Better late than never, pointed over to vern's pool, coins coming in, going to be a good day at work.

O

what is verns pool.  I went to sleep during the night and come back to find 72 pages of shit lol

So, No windows binary at launch - most people don't know how to compile source, and after 9 hours of it being released over 11k blocks have been mined? Hah. Love it. Dif has bumped so high already due to its popularity and insanely quick re-targets. It was fun watching this coin come and go so fast.

to be fair... compiling linux binary is much, much, easier than than compiling windoze binary when dealing with all those dependencies isseus.

P/S: I did compiled my own binary.

is there a good calculator for this coin?

nvm

Stratum is stuffed on this pool, and if you've got anything under 1MH/s don't even bother, diff is 15 on GetWork but still more rejects and stales than Accepts by a large margin.

POOL OPERATOR TAKE NOTE: FIX STRATUM

How many coins will be inside a block after hitting difficulty 24?

[andruby]

I actually minted a coin while solo-mining at 28kH/s

To the windows binary complainers: sure getting a compiled windows client is nice, but then you'll never know if it contains a stealer/trojan/virus. AV software can't possibly detect something that has not been reported yet. All the linux guys (and the Mac OS dudes) had to compile the source as wel. This is not the reason to cry "failed launch". The delays are forgivable too as most altcoins don't even announce in advance.

The real problems are the two blockchains (solved with checkpoints) and the low starting difficulty (not terrible because of 1ELC reward). Why are you guys still crying "worst launch ever?", because you 'mericans stayed up all night?

Have you tried this? The code doesn't actually build out of the box, but the instructions don't tell you what to do, and you have to piss about.

Compiling programs on Windows is, like, the equivalent in annoyingness and fiddliness of getting your audio driver and wifi and 3d acceleration working on Linux

(and the opposite is true... building stuff from source on Linux is super-easy, in fact probably easier than installing your audio drivers on Windows because at least you don't have to reboot)

How the fuck does one even compile?

It is sad that 99/100 people can't mine a coin becouse of a fucking non-compiled QT.
Goodbye even before I trew 0.1 kh/s in this shitpile of clusterfucks.

I am sorry for swearing, I am quite sad these days.
