[ANN] Announcing Galaxycoin - GLX, the new PoW/PoS coin, no premine!

[diatonic]

Block explorer needs more peer connections. I posted this in another thread...

I run the block explorer and it only has 1 connection. Someone with lots of connections, give me peer addresses.

Code:

~$ ./galaxycoind getpeerinfo | grep addr
        "addr" : "166.78.177.212:15521",

EDIT: Either give me your peer addresses or add the block explorer as a node to your galaxycoin.conf

Code:

addnode=glx.webboise.com

There seems to be some issues with the block explorer, I PM'ed the author to take a look at it. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

I received some PMs asking about orphans. Yes there are some orphans with this coin, but it is a trade-off. The diff swing is a very good thing for mining without a mining pool, everyone will be able to get some blocks. But unfortunately at the very low diff, many people compete for the blocks, it's like the situation where a coin is just launched, so you may get some orphans there.

We still need to see if people like this algorithm, but it is one of a kind that does not exist in other coins. Personally I think it is good as at least I am able to get blocks all the time even the hash rate is pretty high.

I'm curious how much of a variance the code allows the diff to move?  Is it a mean diff of last X blocks then allowing a drift lower of one or two standard deviations (assuming normal distribution)?

Added these peers and the explorer seems to be keeping up. I'll try to keep an eye on it.

I was unable to sync my wallet, so I deleted all the downloaded blocks (everything in the config dir except the wallet file and my config file), then it seems sync ok now (from scartch, now at block 22314). I am sure it has something to do with stake blocks. I received two 0.05 GLX, each time it deducts 64 GLX from my main balance, and put 64.05 GLX in stake, then mature for 50 or 70 blocks, then everything added to the balance. It may somehow messed up with the blocks. But now after resync everything seems fine.

Something's wrong Jim

http://glx.webboise.com:2790/chain/Galaxycoin - last block 22344
http://glx.coinmine.pl - last block 22469

my wallets from different computers sync well now..

no problems here now. all good.

The blockchain explorer correctly reflect all the PoS blocks, for example, block 20759 is one of the PoS block. Looks everything is fine.

This is the one coin that needs to be on an exchange that for some reason is being ignored

Fair start, great adjustments, solid following, stable hashrate. What the hell cryptsy?

100% agree, need to email them to request it. It is on their list I believe.

Yea, for over a week now it's been on the list

anyone has wallet sync problem? looks like my wallet sync very slow, if not stuck. Can someone post some peer IPs?

I finally get my wallet sync'd, have to delete twice the contents in config dir (except the wallet of course), and sync from the scratch.

Working great, full steam ahead!!   Great coin to mine.

interesting diff swings...

Hello, hopefully someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I'm trying to solomine Galaxycoin, but when I do the difficulty drops and I end up getting block after block after block.  Thought this was a good thing at first, but the trouble is all the blocks are orphans and they don't show up in the Galaxycoin block explorer.  By the way, the very first block I mined was in the block explorer, but afterwards all come in orphaned.  I tried deleting everything except my wallet, restarted, and waited for a full resynch.  That got rid of the 50 or so orphan blocks, but when I restarted mining the same thing happened and I was getting a couple blocks per minute--all orphans.  I tried deleting,fully resynching, and restarting mining a couple more times...same results each time.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong that my miner won't stay on the chain and instead goes off on its own?

Thanks

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. The way this coin is designed, the difficulty jumps up and down like crazy. And with a steady growing number of miners, right when the difficulty randomly reaches a ridiculously low number, it means that many people get the chance to solve a very easy mathematical task simultaneously. This leads to orphans. It's in the very design. "It's not a bug, it's a feature."
