[ANN] GME | GameCoin - Unofficial fork and Windows QT Client.

[tyrion70]

75 blocks to go...

[8kmode]

any guesses as to what the difficulty will readjust to?

[tyrion70]

Hard to give exact numbers.. Depends on the average time between blocks between the last retarget and the mext.. I think that will be well over 600 seconds which should make the new diff 0.25..

[8kmode]

This coin needs a more active community or it is going to die.

Well.. more so anyway.

[Sondey10mg]

Our community is quite active.. It's just very small. Not a bad thing though, not yet

[Sondey10mg]

bad luck at pool 

[tyrion70]

Aw well.. Expected time between blocks is 20 minutes.. We've had 7 blocks in last 3 hours.. Could be worse ;-)

[jayo89]

Well our original plan was to fork at 20060 but we'll probably hit that in a few hours. How about we carry on to the proper difficulty adjustment at block 20160 and at that point we implement your new difficulty algorithm. Do you think you can be ready to go in 2 days jayo89?

Oh my finger's on the trigger, as soon as everyone wants the new algorith and we habve someone available to compile the QT on short notice, I'm ready whenever.

If someone gives me code for a faucet, I'll put in on the web right next to the pool and block explorer :-)

+1.  Anyone else love this guy?

Also, my slots output 0.05 GME per spin regardless of bet amount, as a way of sort of spreading the amount of gamecoin in circulation around to people.  Hoping maybe if they notice they have some, they'll take interest.

I like the idea of spreading the coin around, but we could be a little more creative than a faucet.  Maybe very small, very simple games that take 30 seconds or so to play through and reward a small amount of GME? We are GameCoin afterall, let's get a little fancy

That being said, if anyone needs help implementing GME micro-rewards into a small game, I'm more than happy to help out.  One of the keys to a valuable coin is to make sure that there are a lot of people holding a small amount, to keep interest/awareness/demand high.

Everyone went mining MEMEcoin, so it seems.

I really like the idea, too bad I don't have the skills to make it reality

:-d they have a good pool and blockexplorer :-p

Found some faucet code.. I'll check that later tonight:

I'm not although I did take the opportunity to get 10K of it, purely by supporting it on my Blackjack site.

Finally got my mining rig rebuilt so I'll point my hashes back at the pool shortly.

[Sondey10mg]

I'm mining back at the pool (all the stupid coins of today have passed). let's get to the target tonight!

[jmfg187]

Cmon guys hash, hash away only 54 blocks to go!

[Petr1fied]

Damn it's so close now I can almost taste it. I remember when it was 500 blocks away and I think I was the only miner still on it.

Looking forward to that diff reduction. If we hit it on schedule in 1 day, 16 hours (according to the pool stats) I reckon the difficulty will drop to 0.207~

Then watch it get raped again to bump it back though the roof leaving us with the bag again.

Sorry hate to be a debby downer here but I see this every damn time with alt coins. This is how we got into this mess to begin with.

[Petr1fied]

I'm not saying it shouldn't be forked to improve the difficulty adjustment algorithm for the better so as not leave us in the same situation again. I'm all for that.

It'll just be nice to even a few cheap blocks after weeks of putting in a huge amount of effort only to give away a huge chunk of my block rewards (over 50,000 GME so far) in support of a coin that what was essentially dead a few weeks ago.

The sooner we get the new fork out and in use after the natural difficulty adjust, the better.

Yeah working on it I giving it all I got still ( whole 300k lol ) Ill just be pissed if this happens again after how much time invested at least for me. I might just walk away from it all together. I saw what happened to my learning coin...

Anyways 37 to go.

[stevenlam]

WTS 1m2 GME for 24 LTC. Pm me if you want

[8kmode]

24 to go...
I honestly thought we would of hit 2160 whilst I was at work today
