[ANN][BLC] Blakecoin Blake-256 for GPU/FPGA With Merged Mined Pools Stable Net

[sidgrip]

most of the explorers are up just waiting for syncing of block data will release links later

Edit:
Blakecoin Explorer
Lithium Explorer

rest are still syncing

Rock On!

Thank You Sir!

Block explorer looks nice, thanks! Not sure if its a bug (I assume its not intentional) but I noticed that blocks with transactions other than the coin base tx do not show the coin base tx. For example, someone sends 100blc, the explorer only shows 100 and not 125blc

it has several methods for calculation can always try another but it requires a resync it should be "COINBASE"

the explorers are here to stay so will iron out any unwanted behavior over time

It seems a new coin has released called cryptobullcoin and is using same ticker BLC this has already created some confusion hence the huge hashrate

I submitted the issue but dont really expect much from them as they dont even seem to have checked before release

I was wondering why the increase in hash on the BLC pools

If you mean bounties, no not currently. If you would like to contribute in some way feel free to discuss it here, and people may offer to help or to donate to you for the work.

So Blakecoin had a bit of a resurgence, from .003 in May to .01 in August of 2017. BLC should be a dead coin all things considered, but a few of us miners have kept it going. Any chance on new announcements any time soon? I'm sure a lot of people would jump on a coin that is still minable for the average Joe.

Best regards,

[MrEdd214]

I also want to add that I love Blakecoin, I have learned so much about mining because of it. I hope to see it grow in the future.

[BlueDragon747]

never going to be dead as I still mine it myself and still has my support and no reason why I would abandon it so Long Live Blakecoin 

no announcements soon been busy with work

That's fine. Lots of us Blakecoin lovers are here for the long haul. One question I've had recently is if there's ability for Blake to be PoW/PoS, or is it a purely work algo? I mostly ask if there's a possibility to make a PoS Blakecoin (seems unintuitive, I know!) with a backup PoW to keep the network running at all times.

It could be possible but not going to work on that anytime soon(why because it will effect blocks and sync for pools on pow = more work for me)

what will be next is a rebase to newer code had issues with v12 skipped v13 had a brief look into v14 which does look better else will go v11

That's good!  Is there some sort of a changelog?

nope I really just suit myself and work on stuff during weekend and evenings (also spend at least 80% of that time working on game stuff in unity rather than wallet code)

Either way, thank you for continuing at it. Know it'll pay off one day because BLC deserves its place in the sun.

I am going to keep at it what my main goal has always been it to be repeatable/scalable and its been very tricky when it comes to game stuff still far from what I would really like from a development pipeline

As long as you keep building it, they (we) will come.

I need to do less of the breaking it once its built them I am sure a lot of people will be happier including myself 

[MrEdd214]

I am glad that there is a fan base here, and that I found this place. I will definitely continue to support and keep my miner running.

Blakecoin is not flashy or hyped, but it does what its meant to and does it well. I think that is the main reason I still follow Blakecoin, because BD puts stability as first priority even though this strategy doesn't attract tons of investors. I agree Blakecoin will never die, the block reward structure, at the current rate, will take about 1500 years to mine the last BLC. Even if the net hash rate reaches the exahash/s level, it would still take several hundred years (BLC block reward is quite unique, it very gradually increases with block height and increased mining difficulty). I expect the network to be live at that time, in some incarnation, although I'm sure it will have evolved into something quite different by then. At least, BD has shown he will stick around, and if he ever leaves for whatever reason, then others in this community will surely keep the ball rolling.

Edit: I'm not delusional, I'm aware its unlikely for any coin to last 1500yr or even 300 but its a nice thought

[MrEdd214]

I currently use a merged mining pool, blakemerged at1/ny2, but I don't like that I have to mine BBTC too. Is there a more focused pool out there?

PS: I tried z pool, I haven't been able to get my cgminer to mine Blake with it. I don't mind mining PHO, and LIT, I just don't want BBTC.
