[ANN][ARG] Argentum || Secure. Rare. Fast. || Randomized reward system commodity

[baritus]

Definition: Argentum is the Latin name for the element silver. Silver is a chemical element with the chemical symbol Ag (Greek: άργυρoς árguros, Latin: argentum, both from the Indo-European root *arg- for "grey" or "shining") and atomic number 47.

It is the perfect name to represent this currency and the potential it has with a dedicated development team. Argentum is fast, unique, and secure. We have learned from many of the past crypto-currencies and created one that can rival any. Argentum brings innovation and experimentation by combining interesting aspects of other crypto-currencies and adding unique features.

Argentum is designed to gain value over time and to be a rare commodity that is easily and quickly transferable. The innovation doesn't end there, Argentum is the first crypto-currency to increase transaction processing capabilities over those of bitcoin. With the Bank of Argentum, the ARG/DGC exchange, and other commodity related services on the way, there is a bright future for this coin.

Argentum is secure, rare, and unique. The combination of all its characteristics provide a:
1. Longterm stable investment
2. Growth potential based on services
3. Diversification into less risky crypto-currency
4. Secure quasi-instantaneous transaction processing

Specifications

General
-Scrypt
-Optimized client: The Argentum client is tightly coupled with the blockchain. You won't see it randomly hop on another as some others do.
-Achieved close to 0% orphans for extended periods of time during testing in perfect conditions (currently achieving close to the same on pools). There may still be orphans depending on the conditions but they should be minimized as much as possible.

Blocks
-Maximum block size increased to 10mb
-Maximum signature operations per block maximum increased to 100k
-32 Second block time

The first two features are on the bitcoin hardfork wishlist. We wanted to create the first cryptographic currency with almost unlimited scalability. The signature operations per block were not increased as much as block size because it is unnecessary and theoretically unreachable as is. These capacity increases do not affect performance and only serve as a guarantee of the network's future capacity. The actual size of blocks and transactions is the minimum amount needed to accomplish the task.

Difficulty
Re-targets every 250 blocks: 250 blocks until re-target insures accurate difficulty adjustments while almost eliminating the risk of difficulty stranding.

Currency Creation
64 million total ARG: Constant creation is the best way to balance between miner incentives, rarity, and fairness.

Fair launch:
We opted for a fair launch to let everyone start mining at the same time.

Block 0-500: 0 ARG
Block 500-1000: 1 ARG
Block 1000-1500: 2 ARG
Block 1500+: block reward random from 1-5. This sort of configuration is more realistic and adds additional security to the network by adding more variability. It also discourages difficulty hopping.

Random block rewards: Rewards are not completely random but deterministic random. Argentum uses the last block hash as a seed to generate a "random" number. The same number always results from a given seed so the network will stay synced.

Security
Mined blocks mature after 30 confirms: Argentum is a fast currency but it does not compromise the safety of the blockchain in the process. The 30 confirms also serve as a cool down period for newly mined Argentum.

All developers are invited to join the team. There are basic knowledge requirements before any bounty for development is secured. Contact me if you are interested in building ARG applications. This project was taken over from the original developer Alpha.

Could be true...there is a site that lists coin distribution for all the launches recently...perhaps it'd provide some insight into just how fast those 1500 were chewed through.

It started at the lowest difficulty. 500 blocks at 0 ARG = 2 retargets before 1 ARG blocks were generated. So you can say the starting difficulty was whatever difficulty it was at after the first 500 blocks.

It started at the lowest difficulty. 500 blocks at 0 ARG = 2 retargets before 1 ARG blocks were generated. So you can say the starting difficulty was whatever difficulty it was at after the first 500 blocks.

So likely two maximum retargets multiplied by the actual starting difficulty then, which comes out to what difficulty? 0.00000016 if it started at 0.00000001 but what did it actually start at and what is the maximum increase of difficulty when retargeting, and why the need to obfuscate about it?

I'd like to mine this a bit, but your setup instructions are pretty confusing (your average windows noob here).

Could someone post an example of what the text of a solo mine argentum.conf file would look like.  (.conf for cgminer would help too).  Thanks.

Arg still holding steady around 0.0009  

The ARG price on Cryptsy just crashed to 0.00045 in the past hour or so, any idea why? I can see any announcement that would have effected the price in a  negative way, if anything it should be rising.

Same with DGC to a lesser extent, it's like someone is trying to drive the price down.

Looks like one big dumper drove the arg price right down. Noone else seems to be prepared to sell ARG low after that. Price slowly creeping back up.

As for DGC I'd say its just a lull as other coins are flavour of the month at the moment. Alot people just seem to coin hop from one to another according to hype etc. Also could be miners dumping as well. Meanwhile Baritus is still hard at work on the fiat exchange and banks. dgc and arg prices are still up on what they were weeks ago though. The upside is cheap buying at the moment. Coins go down and coins go up, just have to be patient and wait it out.

Digitalcoin and Argentum blend in too easily with the rest of the continuous stream of new coins. The dev team for this coin is still working on services to utilize them.. until those are released there's not much to differentiate why one should pick these coins over other, "prettier" coins like Primecoin or Anoncoin (frankly they're all the same to me...)

I admit I probably played a part in it by advertising them ruthlessly on btc-e.. DGC made it onto vircurex, so it's not too farfetched to think about the potential of it getting on btc-e as well. So, everyone who bought into DGC/ARG and drove the price up are now getting back out. Network hashpower and price are now back to where they were ~10 days ago. Also note, DGC went up to .0007 already in the past before this, and this is ARG's first spike.. so it's nothing really out of the ordinary. Also, I should mention a btc-e dev mentioned in the chatbox a few days ago that they have no intention of adding new coins whose networks don't have a respectable amount of hashpower, so it'll be a while yet.

I haven't sold any of the DGC/ARG I bought because I have faith in the dev team's work. Hopefully I'll make my BTC back eventually but till then.. think i'll buy some more

I was under the impression that the only coins that had a greater hashpower than DGC were already on BTC-e, is that not the case?

[cosmoo]

I was under the impression that the only coins that had a greater hashpower than DGC were already on BTC-e, is that not the case?

It certainly is, in fact DGC's network hashpower is on par with FTC (higher at this moment), I can't claim to know their intentions because I have no formal contact with btc-e, that's simply what I and many others in the trollbox talked about when the dev made a brief appearance. Take it for what you will. I do agree with their logic though, and it would be best for DGC to make some progress in network stability and user adoption before making it onto a big time exchange. I kind of regret overhyping it now. the coin needs time to mature and be accepted. Though if you look at the graphs on cryptsy, the dumps weren't particularly that rough, especially with the most recent spike in price. It's still growing these things just take time, like anything else.

If anything, DGC certainly got some exposure. We just have to wait and see, and of course mine some ourselves while multipool users are off raping some other coin. At this moment you'd probably be better off in ARG but both seem like wise investments of hashpower to me.

[Pmalek]

Baritus, I would like to know your oppinion about ARG? Is it worth investing in? Are you gonna continue supporting it etc.. It got little forgotten, and it is a great coin overall. I am asking this because it has touched the bottom and I am thinking investing more in it since the price is more then great!?

[baritus]

There is a difficulty fix for the pool hopping coming within the next few days. It is still supported and will also be on CryptoAve.

[Pmalek]

EXCELENT!!! THX for the quick update! 

[FinShaggy]

Are there ways to earn this coin without mining, maybe by writing or sharing links?

[baritus]

UPDATE:

Argentum V1.2 Released. This is a mandatory update and everyone must update before block 79,000. The difficulty changes have been stabilized.

You can download the QT and source from the repositories in the first post.

[3dcgminer]

Tried 1.2 with a little solo mining, cgminer found a block, the wallet still says 0 coins.
WTF?

Mining
You can either solo mine or mine in a pool.

Solo
1. Launch the wallet after following the setup guide above
2. Configure your miner to connect to your local IP (Examples: 192.168.x.x:13581, 127.0.0.x:13581) using your RPC details.
3. Launch your miner.
    Example:  Example: cgminer.exe -–scrypt -o LOCALIP -u RPCUSERNAME -p RPCPASSWORD


Pool
1. Create an account at a pool. It is not necessary for P2pool as you will use your ARG address to receive payment.
2. Create a worker if you are not on a P2pool.
2. Launch your miner
    Example: cgminer.exe -–scrypt -o POOL.COM -u POOL.USERNAME -p POOLPASSWORD
    Example P2pool: cgminer.exe --scrypt -o P2POOL.COM -u ARGENTUMADDRESS -p ANYTHING

what happened to the mincoin pool markus? i had coins there and the website seems to have dissapeared?

[everybodyclapyohands]

ARG is up over 400% today on Cryptsy. We would like to see this continue as ARG is:

- Rare (only 507,000 created as of now)

- Secure (30 confirmations and random block rewards have contributed to ARG never forking despite massive hashrate swings)

- Well supported - an excellent developer (baritus) and community (Digitalcoin community).

Come join us on http://arg.cryptopools.com/ and bring ARG back to its proper place.

If you are having trouble with blocks synchronizing, download the ARG blockchain at the link below, and replace the files in your Argentum data directory.

Argentum (ARG) has broken out again today with large increases in the last few hours. There is plenty of room
to grow still with a cap of $334,151. Seems to have stabilized in value since earlier in the month and was
consistently rising all this week.

What's best is there are only 500k coins right now and it's been out a long time. Super stable and slow mining so no miners
can dump.

Today people found it. Up 40% very recently. Undervalued for now...

[hybridsole]

Can somebody please explain this?  My Argentum coins will not show up in the wallet.  I have tried this for over a week now.

1. On 12/1 transferred 1000+ ARG from Cryptsy to local wallet.

2. Coins never arrived on local wallet.

3. Several unanswered support tickets later, no resolution.

4. Redownloaded Argentum Client, wait for blockchain to download, import backup wallet file, still no coins.

5. Block explorer shows 1000+ coins belonging to that address, but client is still showing 0 balance...

See screenshots below:

EDIT- I was able to find the answer.  I had to download the file below and replace everything in my data folder.

What is the difference between ARG and DGC?

[baritus]

What is the difference between ARG and DGC?

ARG has random block reward of 1-5, DGC fixed reward.
ARG is slow and hardly any is produced(more suited for commodity type behaviour), DGC has a higher production rate for a different strategy at growth.

It has worked for me, is there an updated wallet? Can anyone help me, and by the way, thank you for posting the link to the blockchain, I have it now as of Dec 6 but not a single block after that.

OK It's not working again can someone post the latest blockchain. It just does not sinc.

Looking to have these real Sterling Silver laminated cards produced for Argentum, which of course is Latin for Silver - https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentum

See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=245086.msg4668999#msg4668999

Each laminated card will house just over 1 gram of Sterling Silver and are being designed as collectable 'add-on' packs or gift sets linked to FiniteByDesign's hologram cards ( see: http://finitebydesign.net ) , soon to be available for Argentum.

The final proof design will have fully rounded corners and perhaps the option to receive the card set without a printed / linked wallet address.

Mock-up design to follow in the next week or so.

The last post has the solution.

[ahmed_bodi]

the fix was to increase the blocks and objects in DB_CONFIG in the arg data dir. ill edit this with the full lines in a min

[ahmed_bodi]

Update:

In the Argentum Data Dir:

Create a file called "DB_CONFIG"
In this file place the following:

Code:

set_lk_max_locks 537000
set_lk_max_objects  537000

Once saved, Delete and resync the arg blockchain after backup the wallet.dat
You should now be good to go

The error is due to berkerly db being used which has a restriction called "locks". The block where clients forked meant that there wernt enough locks for the block to be processed therefore leading to the fork. By switching to leveldb this scenario could be avoided in the future.

PS. for anyone doubting me. Look into the bitcoin fork between v0.7 bdb clients and v0.8 level db clients.

So to be clear, EVERYONE running an Argentum client is going to experience this issue, unless they explicitly configure the DB_CONFIG parameters that Ahmed was kind enough to post.  This means the wallet will be unusable for anyone who simply downloads the client from the website and has never heard of Bitcointalk.

Baritus, fix this, kill ARG, or hand it over to someone else.

ARG's code has many major differences. It would take much longer than I have available to do the port. That's why I am looking for a solution. I contacted Alpha, Argentum's dev, and asked him to take a look.

Hey guys,

I have the same blockchain that is passed block 426490, but I think whatever coins generated after block 426490 are not accepted by exchanges like cryptsy. They are probably "stuck" on blockchain with block "426490".

The "working" blockchain I could find is here: https://altexplorer.net/chain/Argentum and it is also on a latest block of 426490.

Now, I wounder if blockchain passed 426490 is legit.

There are more peers with this block vs. newer. what do we do?

Cryptsy probably hasn't patched their wallet yet, so they can't get the new blocks.  Once they patch they should sync to the current longest chain and the new transactions should come in.

all coins which were mined above the 426,606 block aren't legit. It means no reason to mine Argentum at this moment till Baritus update the wallet.

[verloren]

Just sent a test transaction to Cryptsy and it never showed up.  Would a support ticket help?

Cryptsy support said
Thank you for responding.
The official block count we have is at 426,606 based on this link: altexplorer.net/chain/Argentum

I don't think Altexplorer has been updated.

I don't understand.  How is cryptopools wrong?

[sx100]

Is it safe to buy Argentum on Cryptsy before this is fixed?

[socal]

so is there any update to this? is the fork being fixed?

[baritus]

There is no fork, there is an issue with the type of database being used that users can fix by following these instructions. Those explorers have not yet applied the fix. Once the update below is applied, you will catch up to the rest of the chain.

1. In the "Argentum" data directory folder, create a file called "DB_CONFIG" without any extension.

2. Copy and paste this into it:
set_lk_max_locks 537000
set_lk_max_objects  537000

3. Save that file.

4. In the "Argentum" data directory folder, delete blk0001.dat, blkindex.dat, database folder, and db.log in the data directory, and restart.

[socal]

ok cool thanks, guess I need to hit up ahmed because it seems like crytopool is hung up or something currently at 429,065 valid shares with an estimate of 237 so theres some kind of HUGE disparity there

[socal]

ARG is dead?
We invested more 10k$ in ARG!  

You chose..  poorly

LMAO flound nice Last Crusade reference

[socal]

Also is there a list of active ARG pools? I've found like three and two don't connect and the third is CryptoPool which is working technically just hung up or something

Hey guys, have a question for you.

Please notice two blockheights: 454501 and 428209

After I "fix" EXCEPTION: 11DbException Db::put: Cannot allocate memory Argentum in ProcessMessages()

Which block are you on?

Thank you

[cryptmebro]

Current block is 454668,the block explorers are wrong, look at your argentum client for correct information

Edit: for clarification, the block explorer's haven't applied the db fix a few pages back.

[xredirector]

Is Argentum windows client always a source of truth?

I am at 454629, few blocks behind I guess (was not sure it is correct). My server is at 209.195.112.50 if you want to connect.

What are the good server IPs I could connect to?

Thank you!

I am working on updating ARG to 0.8, that should fix the database issue.

[illymoka]

to be honest, Argentum is considered to be a scamcoin. Diversification is always a good strategy, but with this coins, you increase the risk instead of lowering the chance of a loss.

Argentum is getting ready to have its birthday!

Aren't most 'scamcoins' gone before that?

I joined your pool.  I like the simple interface, just about everything you need without changing pages.  Same software basically as TheBlocksFactory, isn't it?

Wouldn't mind if the User Stats graph worked, just to check if my machine upchucked or I lost internet overnight.  But that's frosting

Bought a few yesterday.

Unfortunately no. The team is currently focusing on DGC, with no concrete plans on Securecoin or Argentum, but they said they will support ARG/SRC.

I don't think that coin market cap reports the number of coins correctly, it has been stuck on 1471853 for a long time which surely can't be correct. The maths doesn't add up for me either given the block count / reward. I think it might be related to the block explorer which doesn't seem to be functioning correctly.

I am not sure, do you have the wallet downloaded? Is it syncing properly?

here is the source if you want to try https://github.com/DGCFoundation/argentum

it really is mostly forgotten as a crypto. there's a block explorer hosted for DGC on digitalcoin.co now, maybe we could set a dedicated one up for ARG.

[snatchmonkey]

The wallet syncs up fine, I've had some Arg sat in mine for a few months now.

It is a mostly forgotten coin, amid many. It would be great if the foundation could maybe do a little maintenance on it, block explorer etc. (although i confess I have no idea how much work or time that would require).

Obviously the Devs are very busy with DGC and related services, but it has been quite a while without any further clarification regarding the foundations intention (if there is one) with SRC/ARG.

[Vlad2Vlad]

If the block explorer isn't working then does anyone know how many coins outstanding right now?

Someone did some massive dumping this past week.  Saw about 200,000 coins being sold under 900 sat in huge blocks.  I remember trying to buy some a few months ago and it was hard to find just 2,000 coin blocks being sold so what's going on?

[Vlad2Vlad]

The dumping continues and no comments from this community or its dev.

Very bizarre.

[cryptmebro]

It's pretty shitty. I'm not sure the devs even pay attention to arg or src anymore. Someone else should take it over.

[mrbodz]

we've been very busy lately. Xawksaw is currently working on updating DGC to the 0.10 base. As cosmo pointed out there is also an arg 0.9.3 base. but i figured we may aswell hold off updating to 0.9.3 fully and switch to 0.10 when we get that done. Now as to what to do on ARG. weve no concrete ideas but we are thinking of ways to improve ARG.

Great news Ahmed, thanks for the update. It's good to know ARG is still being worked on.

[Vlad2Vlad]

Thanks Ahmed!

Arg recovered well I think from that dump last month, considering the amount of coins that got sold.

Do you guys have any idea who sold all that ARG?  It was easily 25% of all the current outstanding ARG coins. I don't think I've ever seen anyone dump so much of any coin before.  Why would anyone dump that much at such a low price?

[mrbodz]

i've no idea. kelsey has been claiming to dump DGC so it wouldnt surprise me if it was her.

Ahmed

[Vlad2Vlad]

Kelsey, are you the one who dumped all that ARG?

What about the buyers, who all bought that 25%? 

ARG has been around a while, it's at a good price now but it would be nice to know what's going on before buying any.

[snatchmonkey]

No idea who dumped, but I estimate that it was more like 10% of current coins.

FWIW I bought about 10% of the coins that were dumped but have already sold them on... It'd be nice to have kept them but I already have plenty.

[Vlad2Vlad]

Another huge dump today, about 75,000 ARG coins.  It's crazy if you think about how much time, energy and hash power it would take to mine that much ARG, yet it was dumped and bought by someone for only .5 BTC.


What kind of whale would dump so much ARG for a measly .5 BTC?  We're easily over 200,000 coins dumped so far.  So someone got a whopping 2 Bitcoins - at best, for 14% of the entire coin?  A coin with ultra low inflation and actual developers?

This makes no sense.  In the year+ I've watched Argentum I've never seen this happen.  I remember when I used to rarely find maybe a 3,000 coin block at around 1,000 sat, that was a big lucky nugget to find.

This coin is simply so hard to mine and there are such little coins outstanding [with most being hoarded by die hard believers and investors] that finding a 10,000 block for sale was nearly impossible.

Yet now, for nearly 2 weeks, we're seeing massive blocks worth a huge chunk of the entire value of Argentum being dumped and being dumped near all-time lows.  They're not even trying to get any decent money for all this Argentum.


So...Anybody know what's going on?  Anybody wanna speculate?

Thanks!

Yet now, for nearly 2 weeks, we're seeing massive blocks worth a huge chunk of the entire value of Argentum being dumped and being dumped near all-time lows.  They're not even trying to get any decent money for all this Argentum.


So...Anybody know what's going on?  Anybody wanna speculate?

Thanks!

It doesn't make any sense. It's not worth dumping such a signifigant amount of coins in relation to the supply for so cheap. Insane.

[Vlad2Vlad]

And the dumping continues.

Does anybody know who has been dumping?  I've been keeping track and it is now about 350,000 dumped Argentum coins.  This is almost 25% of the entire coin.  I doubt any whale would care about 3 Bitcoins which is all they got given most of the sold blocks were near all-time lows.

So who is dumping?

And who is buying?

If you bought any of those large blocks tell us what you think.

[snatchmonkey]

Stop me if I'm wrong here, but Argentum is currently on block 1152612 and gives a random reward between 1 and 5.

Average reward is therefore 3 coins per block.

1152612 blocks x 3 coins per block = 3457836 total coins.

We can knock 3000 off that due to the staggered reward at launch, leaving us with an estimated 3454836 coins in circulation.

The ~350k coins that have been dumped are surely more like 10% of the total coins.

So is coinmarketcap wrong then where it says there are 1.5 million coins outstanding?

ARG has real devs - why isn't there a proper block explorer in the OP?

Would be nice.

But even at 10%.  A10% dump in 2 weeks near the all-time low is strange.  I couldn't find a 5,000 block for sale most of last year yet now we're seeing 50,000 blocks, multiple times?   Something isn't right.

[mrbodz]

There's a block explorer being developed by xawksow. When he finishes ARG and SRC will be added to it.

[snatchmonkey]

Great news that Arg/Src will be getting added to the new block explorer, thanks Ahmed.

I was a bit surprised at so many coins being sold so cheap but I'm not reading much into it myself, other than that a big holder wanted to sell in a hurry.

And yes Vlad, I believe that coinmarketcap is wrong.

It could just be a big seller but from my experience this type of mass dumping at all-time lows is indicative of manipulation.  I could be wrong in which case ARG will just continue To go lower and lower.

It's too bad if we have another 2 million coins we didn't know about.

And we really need to heavily cut back the Max cap supply.  It's way too high for this type of low inflation coin.

If Ahmed doesn't have time I can probably find a dev to do that update.

The community simply has To give their ok. 

[halinyo]

This coin really easily can be rebranded...
And the price can jump X50-100 range...

Need some modification and some innovative development along with great marketing skills...
This is a silver coin... So maybe something can be done along with Goldcoin GLD.
Gold and silver must work great together.

Maybe something to consider if it has not been done...
The price can be adopted to real silver stock market...

ARG is a great coin with a clean background. It would be a great opportunity to do something out of it...
We have to also bring out a few famous people for the marketing purposes...

What kind of manipulations can there be for ARG in its inactive state?  Current devs are busy with DGC and all agreed to put arg/src on the back burner.  Maybe whoever dumped decided to give up on ARG and get what he can get out of it.  I have done this myself with other coins. 

I'm sure community will not object to you having someone else to update ARG but it will still need ahmed/xawksow to look over the changes.

Indeed, I don't really see what purpose it would serve to dump so many coins at once, other than to get rid of them.

I have often thought however that some sort of sell bot might be operating on the Arg market. I'm no expert but the constant stream of small sells implies to me the work of a bot. Surely nobody is sitting there and decides to sell 1.58879117 Arg and then a minute later another guy decides to get rid of 2.36326063 Arg.

I would guess that someone is using a bot either to get rid of coins without dumping the price too much, or to lower the price in order to buy in cheaper. I'm just speculating though, I don't know.

I think it's the right thing that the devs should concentrate on DGC, it's just that no timeline or roadmap was discussed regarding Src/Arg, so naturally after a while people are wondering what the plan is. It's good to know that it hasn't been forgotten, and especially good to hear that Arg/Src is to be included in the new block explorer.

I've still got about 150k of these lying around since about a year ago.

Negligible value. Will just keep them in case it 'moons'

Which is the correct source for this coin ? and wallet ?

The database errors are because baritus has no idea how to fix it or is just plain too lazy to do so. Its rather annoying

Here is the work around that was not found by baritus. But rather Ahmed_Bodi.  Its the bandaid they have been using for the last year or so 

1. In the "Argentum" data directory folder, create a file called "DB_CONFIG" without any extension.

2. Copy and paste this into it:
set_lk_max_locks 537000
set_lk_max_objects  537000

3. Save that file.

4. In the "Argentum" data directory folder, delete blk0001.dat, blkindex.dat, database folder, and db.log in the data directory, and restart.

Nice one tb, thanks

Edit: very nice explorer, i see there is quite a lot more Arg than I had guesstimated with 4.35 million of them, ~50% in Cryptsy.

block explorer?
estimated altcoin inflation or total supply over the next 10 years?

the information is needed for http://alt19.com/19/cryptocurrency.php

thanks

[alt19]

does ARG have checkpoints?
Do you plan to implement them?

merged mining?

[moreporknz]

Are there any exchanges that support argentum now that  cryptsy is gone?

[moreporknz]

I'll take that as a NO...

[cryptmebro]

I'll take that as a NO...

Unfortunately I haven't been able to find another exchange. ARG, DGC, and SRC are dead anyways, so it doesn't really matter.

[James_H]

Dev had gone and left the project. Until now I did not find this coin on the market.

On alcurEX only Coin request, but did not proceed 

[cryptcollector]

Right, I came across this coin via a request to add it to Payservices.com
https://payservices.com/currency.php?type=crypto&q=ARG

First I found that it has not bee actively mined for over a month so in order to get it up I decided to create a node and a small UNOMP pool for it so the blockchain could start to move again.
I have succeed in getting the Node synced and the pool functional (got one block on the first test i did)
This has taken a few days work to just get a valid sync of ARG, but its now live again. if you want more info on the struggle read the thread on DigitalCoin forums https://forum.digitalcoin.co/threads/1843-Argentum/page3 .

in any case the pool I setup is at http://alt40.transacx.io and you can add this as a node as its probably the most up to date for now.

addnode=alt40.transacx.io

[cryptcollector]

Myself and another have been made admins on the official Argentum forums over at Digitalcoin Forums https://forum.digitalcoin.co/forums/75-Argentum

Now, that there is activity again and active mining we hope to give ARG a new start.

We know that there is a lack of exchange for this currency, but we hope to remedy this.
There is a definite probability of an exchange for Argentum on the new Payservices.com Site as indicated by the fact that they have enabled a wallet there. https://payservices.com/currency.php?type=crypto&q=ARG

There is an active block explorer at https://chainz.cryptoid.info/arg/
And I have a UNOP Pool going for it at http://alt40.transacx.io which is currently home to around 100Mh of mining power for ARG

So the blockchain is moving again.

I would like to have some input from the original team that setup ARG, if only to bring everything under one management, please PM me here or on the Forum,

Thanks.

Hmm! CoinWallet sounds good too :-)

[cryptcollector]

Hi,

As you may have noticed I have been busy getting Argentum back on its feet, just seems a pity that just because Cryptsy went ballistic that a coin should die.
As mentiond somewhere before, for me this all started because someone requested ARG to be put up on the Payservices.com site, so i took it upon myself to get things going again.
So far there have been no changes to the Official Website or the Main (this) BitcoinTalk thread, but what has been going on is a flurry of forum posts DigitalCoin's Forums https://forum.digitalcoin.co/forums/75-Argentum.

Okay, so there are now Nodes back up, an active Pool and a market has been setup on CoinExchange.io as stated in the above posts.

We Have not changed the Wallet as yet.
The info you will need to get yourself started with a client is as follows:

Wallets:
Windows QT Wallet: http://argcurrency.org/download/ArgentumQT.zip
Mac QT Wallet: http://argcurrency.org/download/ArgentumMac.zip
Wallet Source: https://github.com/baritus/argentum.git

Nodes:
These are the current active nodes from the clients I have up and running as of 2nd of April 2016.

Code:

addnode=87.98.185.244
addnode=54.154.138.95
addnode=47.72.21.40
addnode=86.174.4.251
addnode=158.69.27.82
addnode=82.29.4.122
addnode=104.131.142.198
addnode=46.105.158.203
addnode=77.254.207.167
addnode=74.111.105.96
addnode=66.207.140.12

Pool:
Alt40 Unomp Pool: http://alt40.transacx.io

BlockExplorer:
CryptoID: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/arg/

MarketCap:
CoinMarketCap: http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/argentum/#charts

Exchanges:
CoinExchange: https://www.coinexchange.io
ARG Market Direct link on CoinExchange: https://www.coinexchange.io/market/ARG/BTC

Known Problems:
The wallet still suffers from a DB error for now, but if you create a file called DB_CONFIG in the coin wallet directory with the following contents it will sync without problems.

Code:

set_lk_max_locks 537000
set_lk_max_objects 537000

You may have to delete the already downloaded blockchain just to be on the safe side.

Happy Mining and Trading
