How to use Remote Nodes:
https://youtu.be/7dsZFkwAXHg

[Slkp]

only linux owners can mine now?

[Chetty]

when planned windows wallet and miner?

[iridiumdev]

only linux owners can mine now?

Yes, until a windows wallet is compiled and IDR is added to a pool, you can only solo mine on the Linux daemon at the moment.

[project earth]

only dev can mine now,with launch like that your coin will hit exchange NEVER

[Morguk]

Dev how much have you solo mined already?

[iridiumdev]

Dang, great idea. Awful way to fairly/ninja launch..

I would be open to re-launching in a fairer way that the community suggests, since I'm the only one to have currently mined any blocks, no one will be impacted.
I am also offering bounties for full time nodes.

when planned windows wallet and miner?

If no one reserves the bounty for compiling the Windows wallet, it will be coming within a few days. And I will link to and provide download details for a CPU and GPU miner when IDR is added to a pool.

only dev can mine now,with launch like that your coin will hit exchange NEVER

I'm open to any suggestions, if you have them, anyone with linux installed can solo-mine at the moment.

Dev how much have you solo mined already?

I have currently mined 50 blocks, which is around 4000 IDR. If the community wants, I can reset the seed nodes and mine the genesis block at a set time so everyone can join in. Would that be a fairer launch?  I would like to reply faster but I have to wait 5 minutes between every reply, so please be patient.

[Mikanoshi]

I'm open to any suggestions, if you have them, anyone with linux installed can solo-mine at the moment.

Here is mine - if you can't even compile wallets for your coin for major OSes, do not create any coins.

As I said, I will be compiling the wallet, but I wanted this coin to be created by a larger amount of developers to promote decentralized development.

[Mikanoshi]

Either release main wallets at the same time or only source code and call it a dev contest - who will compile first can mine the coin))

[Bumbr]

At the last month i've mined 4-5 cryptonone coins on the launch and still no one of them on exchange. I wish good luck to you.

[iridiumdev]

You may be right, but there are a lot of Linux users mining at the moment. You don't need to compile since I've already done that for you, so if you have Linux you can just run the iridiumd file and the simple wallet file and start mining.

At the last month i've mined 4-5 cryptonone coins on the launch and still no one of them on exchange. I wish good luck to you.

Thank you, if we can get more developers involved and incenstivised to contribute then I'm sure we can make it onto an exchange no problem.

[adam1230]

why don't you open a pool and let all users mine their own coins?
If you can able to launch a coin then you can create a pool too.
This sounds like " This is my toy and will not let them other to play with my toy"

[Fu.Sin]

When is the Pre-ICO planned? Will there be an air drop and when is it planned? How long do you plan to conduct an ICO?

[Chronn]

Without announcements ahead of time and precompiled wallets, you are actually reducing the decentralization.

Small miners, who mostly use windows on their home pcs in their free time, and people without IT knowledge to compile things on their own just cannot start mining. Therefore people with the knowledge get a major headstart.

0.1% premine seems fair, but please make the start as smooth as possible for most people. You might even want to contact pool operators ahead of time and ask if they can provide a pool at start.

With just a little work you can do so much better.


Apart from that: What is your coin intended for? Does it do anything significantly better than others? Is there any special use bound to it?

[topesis]

only linux owners can mine now?

Yes, until a windows wallet is compiled and IDR is added to a pool, you can only solo mine on the Linux daemon at the moment.

Then that is not a fair game, the development should have been made fair for all to enter the game at thesame time. I will be watching the space and the level of development from the team

[sls]

It reminds me of Intense coin, Where developers have lost their premine block, so still can not normally run a coin.
Do not make the genesis, 600 bloks * 90 = 54k coin - its not more for panic

[}{uNdd]

watting for windows wallet and pool to mine,
wish have a good launch.

[divedaucd]

A lot of cryptonight coins didn't get list on exchange, hope your coin will do that. Good luck.

I have stopped the seed nodes in the meantime, I will open a poll as to whether the community would like to keep these blocks or generate a new genesis block to allow for easier mining.
