[ANN][CSC] CasinoCoin - The Premiere Coin for Casino Gaming | Kimoto Enabled!

[murderouskirk]

I should have asked for this sooner, but I need the help of the CasinoCoin community to help push CasinoCoin forward. In the last few months, I suffered through some personal health setbacks that have put my priorities into place, and as a result, I neglected CasinoCoin. In this business, confidence is critical, and my hiatus has eroded the confidence of something that I've built and believe in.

Since the beginning of CasinoCoin, it always has been a one-man show behind the operations, from development to marketing (and even graphics design!), I was the one responsible for all aspects. While that may have been a bit of an ego boost, there's a downside to it of which we have experienced during my hiatus from CasinoCoin. Even though we are dealing with a decentralized currency, it's critical to have the full support of an active developer, and CasinoCoin has suffered in the last few months because of my neglect.

I can't excuse the lack of communication during my hiatus, and I understand why some of you have lost trust in CasinoCoin, and especially trust in myself. One thing that has become fairly clear through this ordeal is that CasinoCoin can no longer be run as a one-man operation. Even though a one-man operation is efficient, it also means there is a single point of failure. For the long term benefit of the currency, we need a team to drive CasinoCoin. I hereby am asking for the help of the CasinoCoin community to take on roles such as developer, marketing, community liason, etc. One of the critical pieces is the GitHub repository containing the CasinoCoin source code. I will be opening this up to contributors so that developers can contribute to the CasinoCoin project without me being the single point of failure.

For those of you that are curious, I still have the same amount of CSC as I did prior to the hiatus (or even a little bit more since my mining rigs had continue to run for awhile). CasinoCoin was never meant to be a pump and dump scheme. In fact, with this new mindset of opening up CasinoCoin in order to spread out responsibility and lower risk due to a single point of failure, I'm willing to give up a stake in the amount of CasinoCoins that I mined fairly during the launch of CasinoCoin to those who would like to join and contribute.

For those of you that are considering the idea of poaching the CasinoCoin name, I'd suggest that you not do so. It will only cause confusion in the marketplace that does not benefit anyone but you. If you are going to go down this route, then consider an entirely new name instead. Else, I hope that you strongly consider joining the CasinoCoin team and help contribute to the longevity of this coin from the ground floor -- you haven't missed the boat yet. Your addition to the team will only help strengthen CasinoCoin and confidence in it.

I'd like to hear your thoughts, both positive and negative. It's time for me to get back to work.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you've been under the weather! I hope your health issues are on the upswing.

My project partner just happened across your post and it sparked a lot of interest. He just brought it up to me and I think we may be able to help out some. He just made an account and is waiting on the 4 hour anti-troll time to pass so I'm posting on behalf of the both of us.

A bit of info about us. The two of us have been tinkering on projects for a few years now. I work mostly in the field of web marketing / search engine optimization / monetization in web development. I'm not an expert, but I've had an extremely strong focus on this specifically for about a year now. My hope is to transition into working full time with these self-taught skills, and I'm pretty confident I'll get there. Virtual currency is a huge interest of mine, I actually bought in at around $10/btc and sold out at around $20/btc thinking I made a killing.. I have high hopes for casinocoin and would love to help it grow. (Also on a side-note I agree with the post a bit above me in that multiple gambling related coins in a pretty bad idea, it would be good to have CSC grow to be dominant asap.) My project partner is a developer who has been coding pretty much since he learned how to use a computer. He's spent extensive amounts of time working with minecraft servers, custom web consoles to support back end platforms, and a lot more that he could explain a lot better than I. Our skill sets combine to make a pretty good team, and we frequently work together on projects as a result.

He just sent me the following to add.

"I'm willing to provide my services as a developer to ensure the integrity and survival of the coin. I'm also willing to setup a proper, fair, and functioning pool so that people can have a place to mine without having to worry about it dropping off the face of the earth at any point in the future.

Sometime from now (next few months), I'd be willing to setup a small gambling site that use Casino Coin, if no one else picks it up."

One thing that Casinocoin has had going for it from the start is a solid and reliable p2pool:

http://csc.xpool.net:8840/

It is currently at about 35.4 Mh/s with 3 active nodes. Anyone who would like to open their own node can do so from the source:

The Casinocoin p2pool just found block 88888 so I'd say it's lucky 

88888   Mon Dec 09 2013 21:31:04 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)   e2471f54e9a2d8b5c9b09117b8bc01ba5aec7756f55ed55e377dbee4daba51ed

Congratulations to the lucky miner who found the block: CRkwcNvivPYzxz6TdHetRJwmLK1Z4HmZP8

I second that. I'm currently working on getting a CSC p2pool up and running myself. It should be up in a few days.

Funny that right after you posted this the pool went down and has been since?

•Make sure the web address http://csc.xpool.net:8840 is correct.
•Look for the page with your search engine.
•Refresh the page in a few minutes.

  sold all my csc, thought it was going to change to cac, back to the mines.  Glad  your back transcoder!  Sharp looking coin you've built.

While your pool is is fact solid, reliable, fast, and awesome (I use it myself), I do strongly feel that having more than one pool mining the coin would help better the overall confidence and stability of CSC.

Edit* I guess it seems like botpool does CSC too, but still my point remains more pools = stronger currency in my eyes.
Edit2* However botpool just spews "stratum_recv_line failed", so unless I'm doing something wrong on my end xpool really is the only csc pool to my knowledge.

[CartmanSPC]

Miners, please try using: --queue 0 --scan-time 1 --expiry 1

I have noticed an increase in DOA's which causes connectivity problems with the wallet.

http://csc.xpool.net:8840/ currently has 82.2 Mh/s out of the CSC p2pools 91.3 Mh/s. If there are any other public nodes please post so we can distribute the load.


Also, with such a large hash rate at the pool it is important that you set the worker difficulty for your miners.

To set the difficulty for your specific hash rate multiply by 0.00000116
For example, if your miner is capable of 1440 Kh/s:
1440 * 0.00000116 = 0.0016704

Example Connection String for a miner capable of 1440 Kh/s:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://csc.xpool.net:8840 -u CJbGVMDmqWWptWTcwRU2bzNg8auMzoUenJ+0.0016704 -p password --scrypt --queue 0 --scan-time 1 --expiry 1

[Taxidermista]

Miners, please try using: --queue 0 --scan-time 5 --expiry 10

Thank you very much for the info. Very instructive and useful.

Casinocoin tripled in value today at Cryptsy!

I hope that the DEV is really serious about this coin because it really has a LOT of potential.

[gatuso5]

with xpool, and with right settings im getting 30% invalid.

i agree with more pools.

Would be interesting to receive feedback from CAC team!

the same here, with some tweaking I reached even 60..

I finally was able to get my pool up and running. Kudos to CartmanSPC for his p2pool code and help on irc!

So is there going to be a split in Casioncoin? Or are we sticking with CSC? I am still confused.

http://www.casinocoin.org/  Still has a countdown saying the new CAC will be launched in 10 days. I don't want to start mining CSC if it will be abandoned or split.

I do believe in the serious potential of Casioncoin and want to start mining/supporting the network.

Can anyone tell me the amount of CSC currently in circulation?

http://casinoco.in/ is the page of the owner and official CSC coin. I believe the link you're looking at is owned by the people who are looking into splitting CSC into CAC and porting it themselves.

I'd like to hear your thoughts, both positive and negative. It's time for me to get back to work.

I'm available to assist.
If you need anything infrastructure wise....

I don't think there's any regular casinocoin pools out there, that might be a start.

I pointed my miner to your pool, works good!

Yes, my node seems to be buckling under the load :/
Switching between p2pool nodes maintains your PPLNS so please try squiggie's if your having problems with mine.

Will increase server resources to accommodate the load. It's actually the wallet daemon server that is having resource issues not the pool server.

Edit:
Server resources to both the pool and wallet daemon have been increased.
