Go for CPU only and ask for help as you will need it.
Thanks! Matthew has proposed the new algos, will they be CPU only? Also, I would like to make it sort of devcoins-like, where the developers get a certain percentage (like 1%), rather than premine, for extra services after launch. (E.g. Is it possible for every 99th block to have double the amount of coins, but 1/2 goes to the devs for bounties and 1/2 goes to the miner) Once more, I would like to thank everyone for their support! |
A parabola (plural parabolas or parabolae, adjective parabolic, from Greek: παραβoλή) is a two-dimensional, mirror-symmetrical curve. y = x2 |

Thanks! Matthew has proposed the new algos, will they be CPU only? I cannot guarantee that. If scrypt, which is very memory intensive (GPUs are rubbish at that sort of thing), can be ported to the GPU, then it's most likely only a matter of time. Also, I would like to make it sort of devcoins-like, where the developers get a certain percentage (like 1%), rather than premine, for extra services after launch. (E.g. Is it possible for every 99th block to have double the amount of coins, but 1/2 goes to the devs for bounties and 1/2 goes to the miner)
I can try for you, but no guarantees. Heck, I've never really looked at the source code before... Once more, I would like to thank everyone for their support!
I have personally purchased a VPS to be used as a node. $4.05, paid in BTC. Over half the amount of BTC that I have mined.  Matthew:out |

No algo is CPUonly, someone will definetly build gpuminer if the coin gets any enough flow. Quark allready has one, it just havent been released.

How has this worked out for Primecoin? 'nuff said. |

How has this worked out for Primecoin? 'nuff said. Yet, atleast anything released. Its totally possible that someone has made one allready. And what advantage you see in VPS clusters hashing this coin (Do you just happen to have idle/low usage clusters ar hand?) |

Quick update for everybody: I'm currently working on a small benchmark so you can see roughly how fast your machines will be when they start hashing parabola coins. It isn't much, but it's better than nothing.

Crypto++ is a b---- to use.
Can anyone recommend an alternative that has the algorithms MARS, RC6, Rijndael (AES), Serpent, Square and Twofish?

I have personally purchased a VPS to be used as a node. $4.05, paid in BTC. Over half the amount of BTC that I have mined. Matthew:out Thank you! Hopefully the coin will compensate you and get back your BTC! (open source devs never get paid, maybe this could be like DVC) As for coding, would it be good to create a github repo and have forum members submit pull requests? |

As I am new to the forum, one question: Why are other people reserving? (Not just OP and Matthew) Thanks! |

As I am new to the forum, one question: Why are other people reserving? (Not just OP and Matthew) Thanks! Not sure but it happens on all the new coin announcements, first two pages get a bunch of reserved posts. I think it is so they can come back later to edit the post and have what they want to say on the front page |

Hopefully the coin will compensate you and get back your BTC! (open source devs never get paid, maybe this could be like DVC) Well, it expires on September the 25th, so we'd better be quick. VPS donation address (not owned by me, but by the VPS company): 16F3yJyqfEZFAFwct97qcB71Cxn2QwCMJu Every BTC0.03531258 is another month on the VPS. As for coding, would it be good to create a github repo and have forum members submit pull requests?

Shoot me a PM when you think Parabolas are ready for an exchange. I can pull some strings  |

I tried to submit a pull request to merge but instead I just forked it onto my account. (here: https://github.com/Smeagol-Gollum/parabola) All the names are changed. If you can, please download the .zip and add it to your repository! I don't know how to merge them. |
