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

Thank you for the pool, now I just gotta see if it is worth it or not. The payments seem quite small for around 800 Kh/s considering The amount of blocks I have found solo already. Or is this like PPLNS which builds up over time?

builds up.

The goal right now is push this to the mark as fast as possible... after that you can go you merry way on solo mining. We just gotta stick together right now and get it done.

ok cool thanks for the quick response.

Looking at the pool stats we may not even need a new fork. We should hit block 20160 it 2 days if we keep it up. Then we can have the next 2160 blocks at low difficulty and keep it under out hats seeing as there is very little interest right now. 

Although in saying that a better difficulty adjustment algorithm would prevent this happening again in future. The 2016 block difficulty adjust seems to be the kiss of death for too many a coin these days.

So what is the point of this coin?

The fact that so many coins have identical difficulty adjusts is a symptom of the problem...lazy developers who aren't developing, just cloning litecoin and hoping to cash in.

I'll Hold off for now on the form and see how things progress past the mark, because it looks like that's what everyone wants (feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken).
Though I do agree a difficulty algorithm adjustment would keep the coin stable and prevent this issue in the future, even at exceptionally low hashrates.

Though I've picked up development, I still consider this a community coin so majority essentially rules as far as what stuff I do/don't implement.

The problem is... if the adjustment is not made... who is to say this does not get raped like all the other coins driving up the dif again and we repeat this?

Dont get me wrong I back this coin from launch.... but I dont think I have it in me to see the dif jump again only to be left again where we are. Of course that might change when I get a card that can hash next week but stilll....

What is the point of any alt coin? When it comes down to it they're all pretty much the same as each other. I'm not going to give you the regular BS about how amazing the coin is like you'll get from any of the shills in any alt coin thread on this forum.

With a name like GameCoin I think the most obvious use would be on gaming sites of which there are currently 2 at the moment:

http://alt-co.in/slots.php
http://cryptoblackjack.kicks-ass.net

Perhaps with a name like GameCoin it could also be used for selling games online, who knows? As long as people support and develop for a coin it has a use and in turn a value associated with it.

I may personally develop a Payment API for it so that people can easily accept payment for products on their Web Sites.

What can I say, we few who are mining it whilst everyone else have abandoned it believe there may still be a future for GameCoin. We may be wrong but sometimes you just need to take a stand.

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?

If not we can provide some blow.... no hookers only because that would distract him and maybe when its all said and done... the hookers.

I'll donate 10,000 GME to a faucet if someone else is prepared to hand out the funds as they see fit.

[tyrion70]

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

[Sondey10mg]

Well apparantly I was misunderstood. I couldn't sync with the actual GME blockchain (last block generated 6 hours ago), so I couldn't mine. All fixed now.
Great work on the pool Tyrion!

Target time to retarget

0 days 05 hours 12 minutes

Woot! (maybe a bit optimistic  )

I could probably code an automated faucet. I'll look into it later. Currently rebuilding my mining computer in a plastic crate to give it better airflow.

Errrr


Target time to retarget
0 days 05 hours 15 minutes      

Current time to retarget
2 days 15 hours 00 minutes

I've been breaking my neck how to write it clearly.. But the first one is how it should be, the second is actual based on the time between the last 100 blocks.. Still some time to go unfortunately..

Oh I see. No, that was just stupid of me, you wrote it clearly enough, should have looked better 

[tyrion70]

  good thing though, the pool is either very lucky or we have more hash power cause the current spacing of 1336 seconds is going down. At this rate it might be less than 2 days before the retarget..

[Sondey10mg]

pool found 5 blocks in 5 minutes!
