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

[BlueDragon747]

yeah exactly  

for now just finishing on eu3 and moving onto upgrade at1 within next 30min expect ~1hr downtime but will update progress

Edit:
at1 is done just checking its mining ok and mmp is running without issues so far looks good *again new hot wallet so unconfirmed/immature have been paid out

Edit1:
more tweaking to eu3 still seems sluggish though  

ok gonna leave it see how eu3 is doing tomorrow hopefully it should be slightly better

thats all the pools updated now but if anyone gets issues or spots anything unusual then let me know 

Note: couple more tweak to eu3 might be needed 

[BlueDragon747]

if anyone has a sync issue(only on a reorg from my tests) with elt see latest build 0.8.9.7 here: https://github.com/Electron-Coin2014/Electron-ELT/releases/tag/0.8.9.7

pools will have some outage but only one wallet so should not be more than 15 minutes per pool, will update when working on them anyways


Edit:

working on LA1 now Done
working on AT1 now Done
working on EU3 now Done

Thank you sir for all you do!

Due to the exceptionally mild weather here in the UK (10* C above what it should be) I haven't been able to do as much (Blake-256) mining as I thought I would, but I'm still amassing a few LTC here & there - and yes, I am gonna spend them on more Zeitcoin

(But only because I'm not able to spend them in the BlakeZone yet, hint, hint.)

Thank you, BD, CC, Artie & all the other unsung backroom peeps who have worked so hard in 2015 to make the Blake Ecosystem the success that it is

My very best to all of you, those of all faiths and of none, as the new solar year begins. Whether you celebrate or merely tolerate this 'holiday season', may you know health, peace & love.

[electron-coin]

Thanks Lion. Happy Holidays everyone!

[BlueDragon747]

Hope Everyone Has A Good Holiday Season 

I am sure 2016 is going to be fun 

[cinnamon_carter]

I predict additional challenges and triumphs for blake 256 in 2016

Very exciting times !!

My wallets are gradually getting a few coins mined !!

Thanks to all team and community members , happy holidays if you celebrate stuff and happy new year coming on fast , 

also with 70 F weather in Philadelphia whoever invented the concept of a 'white' christmas will have to use his/her imagination 

 

Hope Everyone Has A Good Holiday Season 

I am sure 2016 is going to be fun

Happy Holidays!

Hi all Is much happening with this coin. I think I remember the dev (BD)from the trollbox at c-cex back in 2013 (?). The alogo seems to get good raps but the coin seems unloved.
Are Blake dev/devs in communication with the people from Decred?

[BlueDragon747]

I am still here and doing what is stated on OP "Already has planned use for Blakecoin as a currency storage between MMO systems with prototypes in development" see www.blakezone.com

main feature have been done for quite some time like merge mining which was done 6-8 months before litecoin/dogecoin, GPU/FPGA which was done shortly after release late 2013

seems unloved

not true many do love its just not made to be a scam so not as "profitable" as some other coins

things traders dont like is the steady stream(no reward reduction over time) of coins which is a must for ongoing mmo games as you dont need supply to dry up few years down the line, fear of the inflation which is proven to be total bs by now anybody can see that it only scales with extreme network hashrate and even at 3TH/s was still less that 0.3 BLC

so stuff is happening but very slowly

algo wise 8 round Blake-256 algo is as good as ever and still kicks ass nothing has changed on that front  

on my github you can find versions for php/python/java/c/c#/go
also done some work on sse3/sse4.1 which I hope will be implemented in wallet sometime 2016

BlakeCoin =  Does What It States On Tin! *eventually  

Are Blake dev/devs in communication with the people from Decred?

nope not a peep from them!

nice not got any nvidia cards here to test but this looks good for performance 

thanks for working on this

I think Blaketrader is down. Hasn't worked since the 24th.

[electron-coin]

I think Blaketrader is down. Hasn't worked since the 24th.

Yeah, sorry. Some users traded my entire supply of PPC/LTC. Halting the trading until I procure some BTC then PPC/LTC. It will probably be a few more days.

[teknohog]

fear of the inflation

The common perception of inflation means a steady percentage increase in the money supply per year, in other words an exponential increase. Blakecoin only inflates linearly, meaning the % growth gets smaller every year, and in the long run it won't make a perceptible difference.

If people were rational about money, even Bitcoin could have such a linear inflation without too much fuss. However, some people seem entrenched by the idea of a permanently limited supply, as if they were planning to keep their savings in the coin for hundreds of years. Meanwhile, most people aren't thinking long term enough to care about fiat inflation. A linear inflation might provide a sensible middle ground.

[electron-coin]

BlakeTrader is back with limited supply of LTC/PPC/DOGE until I procure more.

Happy New Year everybody!

[bzyzny]

teknohog makes a good point, and i agree most people probably dont realize this aspect of Blakecoins inflation. There is some extra inflation from increased block height and mining difficulty, but it is negligible (unless network hashrate exceeds petahash level, then it might make a small but noticeable difference). It is safe to assume that there will be ~4 million BLC minted each year, for the forseeable future. To illustrate, here is an approximate timeline:

Code:

Year      Coin Supply       Percent Inflation
1           4 million           
2           8 million            100%
3           12 million           50%
4           16 million           25%
5           20 million           20%
6           24 million           16%
7           28 million           14%
8           32 million           12%
9           36 million           11%
10         40 million            10%
...
20         80 million             5%
30         120 million           3%

One main benefit of this method is that there will always be block rewards for miners, which means they will not rely on TX fees, which means TX fees should always remain very cheap. Another benefit is that late adopters will have a fair chance at mining, unlike most coins where if you didn't mine it in the first year (in some cases, within the first month!) you are out of luck. Also important to point out that while the max amount of BLC to be minted is 7 billion, for the first ~20 years the coin supply will not even exceed 100 million.

[BlueDragon747]

lets hope 2016 brings the use that blakecoin was designed for 

have a Happy New Year everyone
