[ANN] AsicCoin (ASC) | SHA256 - The coin for ASIC Mining! | No Premine

[hopenotlate]

well no problem. we will get it work.

i think the directory "AppData" will not be listed in the search-function of windows because
it contains "sensible" application data like the name already says... but i am not an WIN32/64-PRO
so i may be wrong with the search-stuff...

you have to go to that Directory the hardmode...

One way is to open commandline and use "cd" and "dir" command to find the files.
But i am not sure if you know how to use commandline.

The other option is to use the windows-explorer.
Go to C:/
then go to directory "Users"
then go to directory with your computername
then go to directory "AppData"
then go to directory "Roaming"

now you should find the Directory called "AsicCoin".

To create the configfile you can use any texteditor but save it as a .conf file. Not .txt or something similar....

I made a sample config file with all working nodes:
so you can also take this file and change the RPC-username and PW if you gonna use solo mining...

P.S. i had a look on your screenshots so i think the right path in your case is:

C:/Utenti/Home/AppData/Roaming/AsicCoin

thx for your help,
while waiting I solved my first/main problem: to see that folder I have to check the option "display hidden folders and files": done it and now I can find it.  Will follow your steps and let you know.

thx a lot mate

no problem! the community must help each other!


p.s. i loaded up an "asiccoin.config" file. so i made a mistake with the filenaming. (it should be *.conf)
but you can remove the "ig" from "config" yourself.

if you fail to rename the file from "asiccoin.config" to "asiccoin.conf"
here s again the config file with the right file-extension:

 Can we get the client download to include more nodes?  I think that would help everyone here...

would be possible but have to be done from the "hoster"/poster of the files..

Just downloaded Asicoin-QT and launched the software but wallet doesn't sync.

no block source available

0 active connections to asicoin network and


any tips for me

PS: another question: how do materially I create a .conf file (yes I'm total noob)

what OS are you using?


I ll post an general Explanation for creating an config file:

On OS X:

go to : /Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/AsicCoin/
create a file named asiccoin.config   


On WINDOWS:

go to: .../AppData/Roaming/AsicCoin/

create a file named asiccoin.config


On Linux: i think every linux user knows what to do... ;-)


then put these values in that file:

listen=1
server=1
rpcuser=yourRPCUsername
rpcpassword=yourRPCpassword
rpcport=13435
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
addnode=173.71.201.121
addnode=14.161.68.183
addnode=192.3.79.186
addnode=98.214.94.227
addnode=121.73.171.43
addnode=81.190.222.66
addnode=209.188.16.220
addnode=217.58.175.208
addnode=173.72.100.9
addnode=99.189.84.118
addnode=75.156.209.173
addnode=113.162.147.207
addnode=68.229.96.30
addnode=213.158.208.129
addnode=192.3.79.186
addnode=71.187.248.95
addnode=117.1.46.73
addnode=76.102.71.50
addnode=209.188.16.220


then restart the Asiccoin Client and it should sync now!


the problem is that the loaded nodes from Asiccoin wallet application are mostly not online or
have maximum of connected peers.. so the best solution is to put the above nodes in the config file
or add them in the client-console via "addnode IPADDRESSS add" where IPADDRESSS is the IP
of the node. U may try a ping before using a node. to use a node one time for connection just use "addnode IPADDRESS onetry".



i hope i could help you. if you have more questions just PM me or write in this thread.

all the best

Thank you very much

Goodmornig sir,
here I am again.

My doubts are noW here:

rpcuser=yourRPCUsername
rpcpassword=yourRPCpassword


Do I have to choose a random userna,me and password I like or I have to take these two values somewhere on my PC?

thx

hi!

you can use a random username and password. but don't
forget that this login-data could be used
from others to communicate with your wallet-daemon.

Also secure your wallet (In the wallet menu) with a another strong password(8+ characters, alphanumeric).
Of course DO NOT forget your passwords.

And another tip: i always print out my private keys on a paper and put them into a safe.
Thats for sure the best way to save your funds from anything (except Armageddon).
If you interessted on how you can make this i could post an Tutorial for that.


have a nice day.

@ bitsta

thank you very much

My wallet is now sync and reached up to 8 connections.

Let's say I want to give a try to mine with an everyday PC: do you suggest solo mining or pool mining?

And what should I do to mine in one case and/or the another?

hi,

i wouldn't recommend you to solomine with an everyday PC. You may kill your
cpus... also you will not see any block.. But with pool mining you could have a chance for some coins.
i put about 120GH/s of my mining-farm fixed on ASC-Mining at coinex.pw pool and get about 30 - 40k coins per 24h depending on difficulty. I also recommend the coinex.pw pool. it's betastage but A++ support and great community.


to solomine you need to download bfgminer or cgminer or any other mining-software (be aware of scamsoftware!!!!)
and connect it to your localhost with your login-informations from the asiccoin.conf file.

to pool-mine you need to use the pools- worker login-informations for the mining-software.


P.s. IMHO i see ASC hitting 0.1 EUR in the near future and many people mining it. Could become very interessting
for early adopters (+0.5 USD till mid/end 2014)..

The AppData folder is 'hidden' so you don't accidentally find it.  So searching, or browsing through explorer will not find it - you have to directly navigate to it.

1. Open Windows Explorer ("Windows Key" + "E") will do that

2. In the address bar type in "%AppData%\AsicCoin" and hit enter. 

This should take you directly to the folder.  Note that %AppData% is a keyword to the directory for the current user (it figures out the full path for you).

FWIW, the folder is Microsoft's idea of where applications *should* store their user data...

if you go back 1 page you would see that the problem s already resolved.

Will have a try at pool mining: would like to follow your suggestion to do it on coinex.pw pool.
Link and/or first steps to do?
Sorry to bother but after lot of random googling now I found a light in the sea in you: thx again for all your help.

coinex is down for maintenance but i think you know it already.
You could use miningpool.co instead. Register yourself and create an "worker"
which has login creditentials (workername, password) which you use
for the miningsoftware configuration. Every coin has it's own mining URL
(where the difference is the port to connect to) on miningpool.co.

p.s. It's a lot simpler than it maybe sounds to you.

blista followed all your instructions to a T downloaded your file. entered a user name i made up and password i made up. nothin.. no block source available am i missing something?

[1905]

ok i got gcminer up n running using miningpool.co but still cant get wallet to sync. hopefully i can resolve this shortly, i set my wallet address as payout address in the miningpool.co settings so hopefully once i figure it out that address will still be valid and my coins will appear since i cant do anything until i figure out what is wrong. again i downloaded your exact file and created my own user name and password which from what im reading online is ok. should just sync? everything is exactly as you have written in previous posts blista. lmk if anything else comes to mind. until then ill just leave it open hoping it finds a peer and syncs and its just a waiting issue. lmk thx
