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

[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.

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

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.

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 ?

Having problems syncing and db errors allover the place.

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.

Baritus just deleted one of my posts in this thread so he's still around.

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.
