[ANN] [MEC] Megacoin has arrived. Scrypt & Core 0.8.2+ Updates: Chinese Market

[gnode]

The worse part about being involved in crypto is the amount of children running around with their hair on fire. So dramatic, so disheartening, zero patience for anything that goes awry for a few hours. Everyone has their favorite coin and poster child dev. Its like watching lemmings sometimes.
All that drama aside.
Megacoin is something pretty exciting. Its new software and lots of new things to figure out along the way. Relax, steal one of Dads beers and chill.

YOLO

more like YODO

So...is it updated yet? If/when it's updated, is it necessary to download a new client or what?

I been having all kinds of troubles with MEC the past 2 days or so. Every block I've mined in the past 24-36 hours has either been orphan or hit the client as an accepted block, but then later on it gets deducted from the wallet and disappears as if nothing ever happened...no record of the event at all. I hate getting excited to see another 500 MEC en route and 30 minutes later it completely vanishes.

Would really be nice to have a developer who communicates with everyone a little bit better. How can anyone expect their product to gain acceptance if they don't even bother taking the time to communicate with  "customers" on the progress/problems? Difficult to put faith into a coin when the developer is infinitely MIA or hiding in his secret underground bunker when people are in need of answers to their issues.

I'm really not being impatient at all...I was born well before the current ADHD or "Immediate Gratification Generation" and I've come to understand that the things requiring patience often pay off best in the end. I'm 100% willing to happily wait another decade or more for work to be complete, if that's what's necessary to deliver near-perfection. However, I see no positive result from ignoring your product's main client base. Would it really kill anyone to schedule a 10-15 minute Q&A for reassurance? In the very least, take 3 minutes to type out one single paragraph of text to relieve anxiety.

If there exists a better channel in which to interact with or obtain info from the MEC community, developer(s), miners, supporters, promoters, etc. please enlighten me. So far, this is the only area in which I've found any info at all on this coin. Of course, a few of the good mods and community members over at Cryptsy have been of some assistance these past few days and I am very grateful for that. However, the chatbox at a currency exchange is not exactly the best place to set up a support or community base....neither is a single announcement thread in a sub-section of another coin's forum.

My apologies everyone, sometimes the Dr. has to make a house call.

The CPU issue is fixed and tested. I will release it in 2 hours along with another important change.

[bitwarrior]

Where will it be posted?

[kimoto]

Please understand, part of the general lack of communication in these early stages was planned. I specifically did not want to hype the coin too fast like the others. I planned to start with a different kind of user base and designed everything for the long term.

[MobGod]

so is there a problem with mining this coin right now? Or is that just for cpu users?

[nhminer]

I'm mining it just fine -- only problem is that the client used a lot of cpu -- doesn't affect mining rate too much

[MobGod]

ok so that is what is being fixed now i take it

[kimoto]

Packaging it for upload now...

[MobGod]

So I understand it's a new source correct?

Any special reason why coins I sent to cryptsy aren't confirming?  Blocks have been found, yet my confirmations sit at 0 in the client.

Talk to customer support, they were having conflicts with their LTC client I heard

No, I mean it isn't confirming in the MEC client.  It still has a gray question mark next to it.

Are those orphans?  Sometimes it happens.  This difficulty changes often, but its still a possibility.  What block # was that around?  How many blocks were affected?  Did you have any that successfully confirmed?

[bitwarrior]

try to close you wallet and open it again..and then check your account balance at crypsty.. this happened to me once before..

[Nolo]

These were fully confirmed blocks.  I mined them several days ago.  
They've been in my wallet ever since, and just now tried to send them to cryptsy.  Here's the transaction:
