[ANN] - Coppercoin - [COPPER] - Hybrid Cryptocoin PoW + PoS

[sherm77]

A telegram group has been created for those that don't use Discord:

https://t.me/coppercoincrypto

[sherm77]

Coppercoin is on Coingecko:  https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/coppercoin  you'll see volume is up considerably today.

CMC requires 2 exchanges, so we'll have to wait until that part is done.  As I've said before, fixing the POS staking is the first priority.

For those not on Discord or Telegram yet, do you have some educated preferences on POS percentage?  The wallet is set to 3% (not working), but there have been suggestions of 5-10% annually.  Also, what % of pos finding blocks versus pow?

Still no contact from the original dev.

Hello!

Sure, a DOGE/Coppercoin pair sounds good.  Do you know of a easy exchange to get on with that pair?  Sorry about the late response, I'm on vacation this week.  I'll try to answer more quickly next round.

[sherm77]

Any interest in having this coin on a DOGE paired exchange?

BTW, Cryptopia has the BTC/LTC/DOGE pairs for Coppercoin, but more is better.

Anyone got some ideas on what we could do to help move this coin along? Give it some utility? Host some more nodes? Rub its back?

For some reason it has been in the back of my mind that ...
Metal Recyclers could/should/optionally issue CopperCoins (instead of fiat?) when someone brings in copper for recycling

Anyone out there have a 'IN' with any company that does recycling ? Would it be that hard to convince such a company to 'buy low, sell high = profit'

• Commodity - Updated January/18/2018   Price ($CAD)   Unit
• COPPER BARE BRIGHT   $3.45   Per lb
• COPPER #1   $3.35   Per lb
• COPPER #2   $3.10   Per lb
• YELLOW BRASS   $2.10   Per lb

This is an interesting idea.  I know that this was from earlier in the year, but it definitely has merit.  We need to find some utility for the coin, copper recycling & maybe selling copper bars & rounds for Coppercoin.  What do you think?

[sherm77]

Coppercoin pools that I have found:

Nerdlabs - http://167.99.11.100/stats

LuckyAltcoin - https://luckyaltcoin.com/

Prohashing - https://prohashing.com/

If you know of any other pools that have Coppercoin available for mining, please let me know - here, by email (coppercoinadmin@coppercoin.tech), Discord or Telegram

Also, if you are successfully solo mining Coppercoin, could you post your coppercoin.conf parameters (please obfuscate the rpcuserid & password)?  I've attempted it locally and on a vps unsuccessfully, where I've done it successfully with gpu wallets.  I'd like to use this for future ANN and also on the new website & in github.

Coppercoin block explorers that I have found:

The current official explorer - http://explorer.coppercoin.net/

LuckyAltcoin explorer - https://luckyaltcoin.com/explorer/COPPER

Prohashing - https://prohashing.com/explorer/Coppercoin/


If you know of any other block explorers or if you know of a good one that can be setup easily on a vps, let me know.  More is better.

Hello!

I am starting a side project exchange, GuildEX.io but its still in BETA. I have been testing with a few coins and i like to add the ones i have on my pool first.

[sherm77]

Sounds good, what do you need from me to add Coppercoin to Guildex.io?

Hello Coppercoin enthusiasts and holders!

After consulting with the community & developers, I think that I have come up with a strategy that will appeal to everyone.  I want to get your feedback before we go forward.  I will be working on another ANN after we make decisions on this, so your input on these items is essential.

POS:  Fix POS in the wallet, make it a fixed 10% annually.  This will reward those that have been buying/mining/holding since Sept 2017 and help your crypto nestegg grow.  POS implementation will also secure the blockchain against 51% attacks and double-spending attacks.  This particular item is more important than the 10% annual "interest", but the interest is a nice feature that comes along with blockchain security.

POW:  The phasing out of POW by the 84 millionth coin.  84 million coins are the current max possible supply, but this does not provide for a viable coin beyond 2019.  When we hit the 84 millionth coin, we go to pure POS.  That means that the Coppercoin chain will depend on wallets being open and providing block finding/transaction handling.  We're close to 74 million coins in current supply, so that would give the miners plenty of coins to mine and hopefully hold.

Raise Max Supply:  I propose that we raise the max supply to 168 million, which is double the current max supply.  If we stay with the current block rate per day (~7.3 million per year I've been told), then that will give us about 12 years until we hit max supply.

Utility: Personally I think that Coppercoin has a loyal following and that we individually and corporately can find utility for Coppercoin.  There are lots of ideas that have been given and I have a few ideas for payment using Coppercoin.

I'll post this reply on Discord & Telegram and I'll be looking forward to your input.  We need to make a decision in the next week on this, so please take the time to let us know your opinions.

that all sounds fair .  did you know you can make a vote dealio that becomes a header for the thread ?

[ifyousmell]

there are just too few information, what mining rigs are useful for this?

[sherm77]

It's in the OP, algo:  scrypt

You can use Scrypt miners to mine this coin.  The pools I have listed will guide you on how to configure the miners.  Let me know if you have any other questions.

No, actually, I didn't.  I'll see if I can figure out how to do this.

I didn't find a way for me to insert the poll.  You can start a new poll, but I didn't see anything about inserting a poll in a existing thread.  I'm not the author of the thread, maybe that's why I don't have options.

Hi, thanks for the feedback.  If you use Discord or Telegram, feel free to join us.  More brains are better, especially someone who has a vested interest in the coin other than pump & dump.  We need people who want to at least give advice & suggestions who have the best interest of everyone in mind.

Sherman

[sherm77]

All,

Just a suggestion..  Coppercoin is still at a great price and if you want to earn 10% in the future, mining or buying & holding is a great idea.  As long as I have anything to do with it, we won't do anything questionable or "pump & dump-ish". 

I've been a miner since early 2016 and have for the most part avoided PnD coins.  Making a good coin better is what I'm after with Coppercoin and also looking after the best interest of the investors & enthusiasts.  It is a hobby for me, and making money isn't everything, but it sure is nice

Your advice, suggestions & ideas are very welcome.  Please feel free to contact me via email, Telegram or Discord (all links given above).  If you have experience with social media, marketing, video production, writing ANN's, website development, infrastructure (servers, pools, etc) or are a developer, we definitely need volunteers, but I'll probably be giving out my own coin to those who do things to help out the Coppercoin community.  Let me know what you can do or what you've done and we'll talk about it.
