[ANN] Restart of Quantumcoin (SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED)

[Lhunephel]

I don't think that the block chain should already be declared as dead. At least I hope it. Maybe it takes some time until people will be willing to join. But I think Petr1fied is right. Everybody whines about the new coins with a very low difficulty, with an high amount of precalculated blocks, with a lot of orphans. But when you do a fair release with a higher difficulty as normal, a very fast retargeting at the beginning, nobody is interested. It's sad, but looks like it's the reality.

[Lhunephel]

I updated several parameters to make the block chain reacting smoother, hopefully making it more interesting for other miners. Updated sources are available on GitHub now. Because the block chain is not active at the moment (last block is several hours old ) the changes are active immediate. Please update your clients before mining the block chain. An updated Windows binary is also available. The retargeting is now a lot of faster with lower network hash rate and the difficulty should change smoother. Also the target timespan is now decreasing faster with increasing network hash rate.

sounds like we should merge the ideas of ELC and QTC...

but as you said no one wants to mine a coin that ISNT CoinChoose top ofthe pile :/

[MaGNeT]

When I start the client it wants to download 16k blocks, is it forked?

[MaGNeT]

Download location for the client is gone? 

[MaGNeT]

Where is the website? Where is the client? 1 wallet is in sync, the other says it has to download another 16k blocks   Any update on this by Lhunephel?

[MaGNeT]

Anyone?

[Charles999]

wow, what's next.. Universe Coin?

[MaGNeT]

It seems that Lhunephel has abandonned this coin?

If anyone has the source, please post it

Here is the client I downloaded from the OP, please don't trust on my word it's safe; always scan binaries before using them!

Hello?

[MaGNeT]

Is it dead?

[Petr1fied]

If anyone has the source, please post it

I have the source that I downloaded on release day:

Nice

The block explorer says there are 208 blocks and the difficulty is @ 3.306 which explains why it's dead. The difficulty algorithm for the start must have been a bit over the top for it to get as difficult as that in so few blocks.

If anything this topic just goes to show that people are full of shit in general and don't want a fair release. They want the best of both worlds, a ridiculously low starting difficulty but without the orphans that go hand in hand with it.

I guess if someone wants to fix the difficulty adjustment and re-re-release it, it might ever hit Cryptsy.
But now it's dead

Someone who can fix it?

[Lhunephel]

I updated the sources, also changed the TCP ports and client version to be sure to forget all already existing blockchains. I modified the calculation of the target interval and target time span and think it's now more friendly. Also I added a higher reward for the first 200 blocks. I'll soon upload the Windows binary and push the sources on GitHub.

[Lhunephel]

The new Windows binary and the updated sources are now available.

Hey guys,

The blockexplorer wasn't showing all blocks due to it having no connections.. Sorry for that..

I've downloaded the latest client. Can some of you PM some nodes? (or email them to p2poolnl @ googlemail . com)?

I'll have it updated shortly then.

Btw, if you notice anything off with the blockexplorer please let me know at above address. I sometimes miss things in topics

Cheers

[Lhunephel]

You can use 78.46.164.138. It's the DNS seed node.
