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

[lightlord]

IMPORTANT: Active GameCoiners Please Listen!

It's been suggested we alter the difficulty adjustment algorith for GameCoin.  This would mean the the difficulty would adjust more frequently, allowing the coin to remain stable and active even if the hashrate drops significantly, as the network will respond and drop the difficulty much sooner.  our difficulty adjustment would be over 20 times more frequent than it is now.

The downside is that changing the difficulty algorithm causes a hard fork in the blockchain:  Those users who upgrade their clients to the new algorithm and those who do not.
So, I need to know what the active GameCoiners all think about this, because our nodes essentially form the core network for GameCoin at this point, and we need to all be in agreement before anything is done.

So guys, what do we do?

With this hard fork thing... does that mean all coins mined right now would become pretty much... dust?

No I don't think so. Your old coins from the original blockchain will just be transferred onto the fork, and still be usable.

Good good. I dont have many ..actually this is the only coins I have been able to get a lot of ...that is 8 k LOL. I was wondering when dif would go down cuz even now the 1 dif is labor for Nvidia cards of mine

Good thinking. Should advertise it properly.

Nice to see this orphan coin has found a home.

Yeah, all blocks before the fork are identical on both sides of the fork.
But people who don't upgrade are going to be on the wrong side of the fork, and any coins they mine after that point won't be seen as valid by the rest of the network (except to other users who haven't upgraded)

I'm feeling kind of sickly today and may just be stupid or lost or both but I can't figure out how to get the windows client. I went here

Code:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0f2VDPOrXt4dzk1dzNzb3F5bmc/edit?usp=sharing

and tried to download each file separately but it gives me a 404 error? Can someone please point me to a regular download or explain how to get those files from that google docs page? Thanks much in advance and sorry to be a nuisance. Just a bit medicated today and not thinking properly I think. lol

[MitchB]

Turns out I need a version for linux to run my site properly.  WINE doesn't feel like working with either gamecoind.exe or gamecoin-qt.exe...

I'll see if I can convert it myself, but I'd like someone else to try as well.

Could someone please help out with this?  My server doesn't feel like compiling the files...

Can't say I've ever tried compiling on linux but it should be the same as for litecoin with the exception you're using the github linked in the first post. Maybe try this:

https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php?topic=43.0

Hope you figure it out.

compiling takes more ram than I have.  I'll see what I can do about upgrading.

Thank you Petr1fied!

As soon as someone gets ahold of tyrion and he's standing by for one more QT compile, we're going to go ahead and stabilize the coin by increasing the difficulty-change frequency.
This will stablilize coin output, even at very low hashrates.

EVERYONE will need to upgrade in order to stay on the blockchain, and ensure your future minings are valid.

Finally figured the stuff with the server out.  Website is ALMOST up and running!

It's taking an insane amount of time for my client to sync, is that normal? I mean it would be like me installing the Bitcoin client right now.

Ahh ok thank you for that, I definitely have only the new client as I just installed it tonight. I missed the original Gamecoin release. Thanks again.

is there any working nodes for gamecoin?
i'm running the unofficial fork, however i cant seems to be able to connect to any peer.

oh, woops.  I got that from earlier in the thread.  I had the same problem, added that, and it appeared to work.  Either that or rebooting the gamecoin client worked.

[megablue]

is the peer dns working on the unofficial fork? i think i should give up on this


@MitchB nope, i tried restarting it, it still doesn't work. thanks anyway.

I also deleted everything from C:\Users\Mitch\AppData\Roaming\gamecoin EXCEPT wallet.dat and gamecoin.conf

See if that works.
