Let's not allow this coin die. Some of the old coins have great potential and deserve to be kept alive.We can make the difference. We need to involve more people into the cryptocurrencies world. awesome  community takeover yo! |

Hello, everyone.
I've been following Emerald as well as Diamond and Ruby Coins for awhile now. I think with current development in Diamond DMD it is time for Emerald to do something to attract more people into mining and owning the Coin which has tremendous potential. Change in Algo, more services and some marketing will be nice.
My two cents - I wouldn't change a thing, and would prefer that any new developer not change the basics of the coin either. This coin perfectly fills a gap other coins don't have covered. It's profitable enough to be worth while to mine, but not so profitable/popular that it gets pounded by multipools. It's easy enough to mine to make collecting several thousand easily attainable for anyone, but low enough reward that a couple thousand still have value. An argument could be made that maybe POS could be added to it to increase it's value a little, but it's a great coin to mine as-is, so going with a high POS reward, or switching to 100% POS like Philosopherstone is contemplating would make mining it worthless. Why mine 100 or 200 Emeralds a day when you can just buy a mess of them and sit back and collect minting rewards? Is anyone still mining ZEIT? No, because it's pointless. But I'm not selling mine, because just leaving it in my wallet collects far more per month than I could mine in a year. Maybe adding a small POS component, like 10% per year, would be a good idea to prevent a 51% attack, but more than that would change the coin too much. I would argue that if people want to see more activity in the community, they should get involved and promote it. Making more people aware of the coin would be a great thing and probably drive the price up naturally. I've seen one or two posts about people accepting Emerald for goods or services - a commiserative coin about Mt. Gox for example. Bottlecaps has one or more vendors that accept CAPs for seasoning and sauces. These examples can drive demand. Getting a good website up would almost certainly drive demand - what exists right now is not going to get people interested. Promoting in other posts can drive demand. Hell, even someone pumping the coin in forums and chat rooms to dump their load of Emeralds can drive demand by making more people aware it exists, but switching the algorithm is not going to drive demand for the coin, and may drive people away. As an example, I used to mine Diamond every day, and I'd get 10 to 15 per day. They switched to Groestl and now I can't effectively mine Diamond any more. I get 1 a day. One lucky day last week I got 3. Yesterday I got none. I'm done. I'll probably hold what I have to collect POS rewards, but I'm done mining it. And the current price reflects the coin's demand. It went from over 100k satoshi to 80k, and if they don't fix pool mining, I think it's going to go lower. Damn shame, Diamond was awesome. Now, if you don't have a rig with 6 GPUs, it's a waste of hash to mine it, because you aren't getting any. Another example is Galaxycoin. That was a good one too, as it was. It used to cost 500 to 700 satoshi and it was easy to mine. A new developer took over the coin, changed it too much, and now it's worth 125. that was months ago and it hasn't recovered. Emerald was all but dead a couple times, but it survives because it's good the way it is. Changing it too much in my opinion would be a bad idea, and if it goes as poorly as Diamond is going right now, the change could kill the coin. That's my thoughts. |

Interesting thoughts Henle. I agree mostly, and thanks for the mention of my Gox coin  I hope that the coin can move forward in a positive way. Still accepting EMD if anyone is interested!   |

Use the one you can download from http://emeraldcoin.info/emd-pools/ hosted on Mega. I believe that's our semi-official website for now. It's the one I'm using and it works fine. I think I'd stay away from wallets and block chains individual users post, unless you're really confident in the person (are they active and an authority in that particular coin's community.) They can cause problems. And it really doesn't take that long to download a block chain. Maybe a day or so at worst, unless the coin has problems. It's worth making sure you get the right one. I'm pretty sure m0gliE has exactly 2 posts in this thread, one was the block chain and the other was the one you indicated with links to his wallet. Not slamming m0gliE, I don't know him, just words of caution. He's not a regular here. |

Hey, I resolved his problem, he was trying to solo mine and was using port 12128 instead of default rpcport=12328. "well shit there we go, wrong port number all along. Thx dude" thanks for the low blow, the amount of posts hardly speak for what is conducted on IRC. All I did was provide the links because there weren't any working at the time. I also created the emerald bootstrap.dat to help those who had problems syncing. It's not a personal zipped up copy of blk*.dat's you copy/pasta. Join me on IRC if you'd like to talk more. |

Pretty defensive. Easy m0gliE. I didn't mean to offend you. In fact, I said "not slamming m0gliE, I don't know him."
I'm glad you fixed his issue. And I'm glad it was just a typo in a config file or bat file. I guess it usually is. A number of coins are having blockchain/sync issues lately - Diamond, Fastcoin, Philosopherstone, and Krugercoin in particular, but there are others. Some have worked themselves out, others persist. I really wanted to mine some KGC this morning, but I can't sync and I didn't have time to figure out why yet.
With a number of coins having issues, it's probably best to stick to what the dev(s) released if possible. And downloading a blockchain is inconvenient, but really not that big a deal most of the time. Downloading a forked blockchain, on the other hand, is a problem, particularly if too many people do it, or for a smaller coin like Emerald, if more than a couple people do it. I'm not saying yours is bad, but why risk it to save maybe 4 1/2 hours, when you can just mine something else in the meanwhile?
As far as the wallet download, it's on the new website, and it works. It would be nice if there was a link to the website in post 1, but there isn't. I think it's on page 33.

Your idea about POS is a good idea. Look at other coins, they are switching to POS or at least adding it. The coins should be spent, not mined if we want the coins to be the virtual currency of course and not to be a hobbystic collecting great but worthless blocks of hash I've been a fan of this coin, don't know why but I like it. But now seems it's dying, and trade on Cryptsy will not save it. I think that some quality changes should be done to make it more attractive. That's my thoughts. |

That's my thoughts. we from diamond are willing to consider teamwork or even take over emd development we seek a non pos long time POW coin which can join diamond in a merged mining project this way both sides have profit emd gain free promotion and increased hashrate = value increase dmd gain (when our own pow rewards starts to be highly reduced and coin rollout is mainly pos) to have the merge mining partnercoins help protecting our network required for this to happen would be a algo change to energy/heat saving groestl algorythm (combatible to the diamond groestl implementation) something we did already with diamond and we could do for emerald too if there is a dev spokesman or a community spokesman who is interested into deeper talking regarding such a possibility please send me a PM br |

I'm just one of many voices here, but I would vote no. Even though a full time dev team would be a great addition, I think what you're proposing would cause a lot of turmoil on a coin that's working fine and continues to hold its value well. If it ain't broke, don't fix it... However, I'm pretty sure Krugercoin is in need of a dev team, and it's a very similar coin. I don't think the dev hasn't posted since mid March. Deposits and withdrawals on Cryptsy are on hold pending a response from the developer. It's loosing value, but there is continued community interest. That coin needs a dev team.

That's my thoughts. +3 excellent advice above ^^^^^^^ my 2 cents EMD needs some protection against 51% POS of 1% should fix that, no? I have also noticed nibble gets some attention because it is scrypt-SALSA and then there is scrypt-OG. That should do the asic resistance fix, and EMD should seek to stay 1GPU miner friendly. slightly more aggressive but also investor friendly POS option :: POW R =4 POS R =1 half life POW R =2 POS R =1 half life POW R =1 POS R =1 half life POW R =0.5 POS R =0.5 half life POW R =0.25 POS R =0.25 half life POW R =0.10 POS R =0.025 forevermore |
