Mine new coin: VoteCoin - equihash, very low difficulty now

[votecoin.site]

It should be possible to cross-compile the VoteCoin sources on Linux to get an EXE file which can run on Windows (thanks to mingw). I believe that zclassic has some way how to do that, but we were not able to use it:
https://github.com/z-classic/zclassic/blob/master/zcutil/build-win.sh
I believe that having just votecoind.exe and votecoin-cli.exe could be more than sufficient for most people now. But we need to find a way how to compile this ourselves, we can't distribute precompiled EXE file made by somebody else.

Last time we tried, it complained about db_cxx.h not found, even if it was in /usr/include ...

[CryptoBro75]

Never though I would be able to do it since I have no clue about Linux (first time today!!) but I set up a node and will let it run every now and then. Hope it helps get the network a little faster. Already did more than 23k transaction confirmations. Started extremely fast and now slowed down a lot. I guess you needed me...

But:
Can anybody post a full .bat file for Windows mining with Excavator or any other Windows miner? I'm trying but Excavator gets stuck while initializing. Getting AMD display errors (and have Nvidia).
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Used Claymore and CCminer until now for other Coins and got them to work.
Used both votecoinmine.site pool versions mentioned here (with Stratum and without) but none worked.

Thank you for help.

Zec Miner 0.3.4b

Code:

:mine

miner.exe --pec --server pool.votecoin.site --port 3333 --user t1*** --pass x
goto :mine

It works fine for GTX 1060, GTX 1070, GTX 1080ti for me on Windows 10 Drivers: 384.94

Immature: 0  Bal: 40.81011309  Paid: 774.24290344

Do I need to do something? or any issue with the pool??

There is quite some delay. Just moved the wallet to server with lot more RAM.

Hope it'll catch up soon.

In new excavatoor(i run 1.2.11a) config looks different, mine *conf.json file is like that:

Code:

[
	{"time":1,"commands":[
		{"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["equihash","pool.votecoin.site:3333","t1NMhTYNDcyx19pvhFWpYCAAsewzV34GC77.1060_komp"]}
	]},
	{"time":3,"commands":[
		{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]},
		{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]}
	]},
	{"time":10,"loop":10,"commands":[
		{"id":1,"method":"worker.print.speed","params":["0"]},
		{"id":1,"method":"algorithm.print.speeds","params":["0"]}
	]}
]

Works with GTX1060

Just copy paste and chage to your wallet address, be sure that you modify default_command_file.json as it is the default config file.

You don't have to wait, you can do as I did:
- download VMWare Player (free non comercial use)
- download ubuntu 16.04 LTS ISO

Install WMWare Player and create new system on it, pick the downloaded ISO and the only thing you have to configure is capacity on hard driver(I suggest about 25GB)
Than you will be able to create wallet as on VoteCoin project's GitHub instructions.

It's easy.

Once you create your wallet, you can start mining on Windows mining software.

Thank you. That worked. Also mining with a 1060 now.

Where market is this votecoin?

No market yet. This is waaaayyyy before ICO even. If you mine this you need to understand: You never know - this might never hit the market. So mine and/or help at your own risk. But if it hits the market you already have hundreds - if not hundreds of thousands - of coins already. It's a gamble. But with great potential to make a ton of money....

Getting the same error on Ubuntu 16.04.3 running in Virtualbox . Can someone help?

[CryptoBro75]

I'm not very knowledgeable here (since I just started) but I compiled the wrong program first.
Are you sure you're compiling "votecoin_build_fedora.sh". I used "build.sh" before and it caused problems.

[BaRu]

He shouldn't use "votecoin_build_fedora.sh" as ubuntu is debian So the correct version is "votecoin_build_debian.sh".

Try apt-get update and than ap-get upgrade, after that remove all VoteCoin folder and start again. Make sometimes keeps it's cache(or something ) I had the same problem, starting again helped

[CryptoBro75]

He shouldn't use "votecoin_build_fedora.sh" as ubuntu is debian So the correct version is "votecoin_build_debian.sh".

Wow. Yes. Sorry. That's what I meant. However. I just installed it over the build.sh and that worked.

PS: And did you mean apt-get upgrade... ?

[allcryptominer]

Okey after many trial and errors i think i got it working finally.

[rezurect]

Best reason for mining this is because it's low difficulty?
I don't see a lot of features.
