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

bump!

[Fernandez]

Good work guys. Keep it up!

I hardly have any of this coin. But its nice to see it being revived with an active support.

[Sondey10mg]

I'm mining this for a few hours every day. Strange there are so few people mining this at this low diff!

[Petr1fied]

I've not been mining it myself to give others a chance but I may jump onboard to help us hit block 24192 where the difficulty will come down further.

[Vilepickle]

I'll just be happy when the client isn't constantly trying to make me use the Litecoin blockchain (after the hard fork).  Deleting peers.dat is getting old.

Just ignore it if it displays that it's downloading the litecoin blockchain. It won't attempt to download it because of the checkpoints. It's merely a display inconsistency.

Hopefully as you say it should be a thing of the past once we hard fork in 957 blocks.

On the plus side we're down to a 0.0994472 difficulty for the final leg.

Nice to see the new client with proper retargets getting closer to the fork.
Also nice to see the added hash rate being put into this coin.

Just waiting for more uses of the coin besides the slot machine and single game of blackjack (still waiting on splits, doubles, insurance, and instant dealer win if they have blackjack)

An exchange would be nice, not so people will dump. Rather it could raise awareness that this coin that was once dead, has been revived and doing well for the time being with support.

[ruecanonrails]

Looks like not enough people updated their client...
We have passed Fork block, my client is showing the new proper difficulty however the blockchain is still extending on the old fork according to the block explorer http://gme.p2pool.nl/chain/Gamecoins


Anyone who hasn't updated their client, coins mined after 25200 will likely disappear.

[Petr1fied]

I guess tyrion70 forgot to update the block explorer/pool with the new code. You should stick with solo mining until tyrion70 updates to the new code on his pool.

[ruecanonrails]

I personally wasn't able to solo mine. Solved several blocks after the 25200 *think I was the one who solved that magical block* I only got multiple rejected blocks.
I've stopped solo mining for the time being to see what happens as Im getting nothing but rejects and that isn't going to help anyone.

I think most of my wallet connections were to people running the old client.
Would it be possible to add into the code that the client would NOT connect peer to peer with the incorrect version?

What is the block count of the correct chain? Mine is showing 25260.

25263 is mine

That's the correct chain, 25264 (now) and difficulty of 0.336398.

I'm afraid I'm not that familiar with the code. It sure would be a nice feature though.

Unfortunately this is caused by a few idiotic individuals who think it's amusing to add a bad blockchain in their client and is currently plaguing many coins. It doesn't help that the original developer of GameCoin used the same genesis block as litecoin as this gives the rogue blockchain a valid starting point.

As long as you're using the client listed in the first post it is nothing but an annoyance because the checkpoints will not allow your client to download this rogue chain.

As the network of peers using the new client increases there should be some natural peer banning thrown into the mix. Just ignore the syncing message.

and difficulty of 0.336398.

Now down to 0.279491 as of block 25296. Looks like it's adjusting every 48 blocks as intended. Now to see if we can stabilize at an average of 2 hours between each evaluation.

Now to see if we can stabilize at an average of 2 hours between each evaluation.

• Block 25,200 --> Block 25,248 (0.19889468 Difficulty) = 1:11:49
• Block 25,248 --> Block 25,296 (0.33639779 Difficulty) = 2:22:30
• Block 25,296 --> Block 25,344 (0.27949079 Difficulty) = 1:48:45
• Block 25,344 --> Block 25,392 (0.31521608 Difficulty) = 2:32:27
• Block 25,392 --> Block 25,440 (0.24755224 Difficulty) = 2:20:50
• Block 25,440 --> Block 25,488 (0.21872340 Difficulty) = In progress

The new algorithm is still finding it's feet but it looks like it's doing ok so far.

Really nice upgrade!

[Petr1fied]

Block 25,440 --> Block 25,488 ---- + 5 hours and counting only 15 more blocks to go.  

Things should improve once tyrion70 updates his pool. At least we're never more than 48 blocks from the next difficulty recalculation which is a lot better than 2016.

[PoolMinor]

We made it! It is cool I don't care how long it takes between. I was just noting after you said how great it was going, lol.

Thanks

Try clearing your peers list file.  The checkpoints should prevent the bad peers from being re-added, but if they were added to the peers list pre-upgrade, they might not be blocked.
