[ANN] TagCoin - Multi Token Wallet and Trading Platform

[tagbond]

We are working on a fix to the orphan issue. Such impatience..

As for Tagcash, it is not meant primarily as an exchange and we don't intend to make a profit form that side, it is a payment platform - it also has a lot of info about crypto coins, existing and upcoming, so that is the blog side...If anyone wants to build their own exchange using our data, we are working on an API so we can build a mobile version, but that means you will be able to build your own exchange on top of our platform.

We are working on a fix to the orphan issue. Such impatience..

Speaking for myself, I don't think anyone is being unduly impatient.

I love the concept of TAG, hold a decent number of them, and really really want to see the project flourish. I say this with all due respect, but when people have made investments in mining hardware and believe in what you're doing enough to point their rig(s) at mining TAG rather than any other Alt, they would probably be less "impatient" with frequent bouts of 50%+ orphan rates if something other than a vague reference to some fixes was made followed by 3+ days of silence.

No miners = no network and no network = no transactions. I don't know if you're a miner, or ever have been, but I can tell you that seeing this kind of thing on and off for more than a week with no timeline on a fix does serious damage to the credibility of the project.

[joulesbeef]

the complaints are actually quite tame and absent considering.. you know money.

I havent mined tag for long and was a bit concerned. IT seems pretty interesting.

and yet days later, it is still kinda bork.

and not much in the means of any kind of info besides "just wait"

There are a lot of other coins out there.

I'm not saying that i am leaving or threatening, or saying your coin is shit.

I'm just saying there is a lot of competition out there, to just dismiss mild questioning after quite a long time in coin world and your chain still being broken.


i've been here for quite a while as you can see. I have mined many of coins.. i was here for io and ix and the whole solidcoin thing.

And really besides for dead coins, I havent seen one where the people who want their coin to take off, completely ignore such a large user base as bitcointalk.

But hey< i'm not here to tell you how to do your business.

i'm just here to see if there had been any worthwhile replies.

before I go back to mining dogecoins.


Not bitching in the least man. I could barely care less. I'm not a big holder of tag and there are plenty of coins.


I'm just saying your rep is slipping in the other direction for people like me and a few others.

People you want to spread the word.

You know.. like when someone says "hey have you heard of this tag coin"

you want people who HAVE heard of it to say nice things.

Not "last time i checked the chain was broken and really dont even know if it is actually ever going to be fixed. i dont know what tehy are doing, so just ignore it."

it makes that adoption rate a little slower and the dreams of becoming the next big coin slip further away.


it really doesnt take much but a line or two.

but hey, like I said, I'm only here looking to see if there is any info. I really dont care how you run your coin.

My big question now is.. what happens if you DO get wildly adopted and something happens, are yall going to leave everyone in the dark.. all those business using your coin, all those users wondering about the coin? Yeah that is a lot of other peoples concerns as well.

Love watching my balance go from 20 to 7... because the last 15 blocks were all of the sudden orphaned.  This coin has lost another miner.


Good luck folks.

It looks as if tagbond has lost interest in this pet project. Too bad, but it never caught the community attention anyway, for whatever reason.

You got any inside info about tagbonds interests? I hold quite a bit of tag because I belived in the project so I should not write negative tings about it. According to their site they have a large team working on tagbong/tag and so on so I would excpect that it would not take weeks to fix a severe issue like this. The price of the coin on cryptsy is also falling and all the developers can say after days of trouble is "We are working on a fix to the orphan issue". Im not a computer geek and can`t understand or fix the code, but other shitcoins have taken care of problems much faster than this. Once again I beg for a timeframe for a hardfork/fix/anything or some soothing words from tagbond other than "We are working on a fix to the orphan issue". (I apologize if I stept on someones toes, but Im a bit drunk and mad about all the orphans and that the price decreases. But If anyone have some info that I lack i appreciate if you send am pm if you do not want to make it pubic)

[ny2cafuse]

The price of TAG is double what it was 3 weeks ago.  On average, it is up, not down.  Hold your coin or sell.  If you sell, you do what all the other weak hands have done and drive the price down more.  Hold and you will be primed for the 1.5% monthly vs yearly bump that POS is getting.

Either way though, just mine the coin.  Orphans are killing us, yes.  I don't deny that.  Tagmining is getting bent over with orphans, as are the rest of the pools.  But if you look at the upside of this situation, you're making the same coin.  Every time there is a string of orphans, we see a decent run of blocks (around 20+ or so rounds on Tagmining) where the difficulty drops like crazy and we earn some solid coin.  Plus the orphans have drove the multipools out of the picture, which is a godsend.  I'm not saying, "Hurrah for orphans!", but rather let's just get through it.

Stop storming the castle with pickaxes and torches people.  I'd rather they get the fix tested and working right, than hurry and give us half a fix.

One more thing.  There's a github for the project.  If people are concerned about the fix, clone the repository under your account and create a pull request for actual bug fixes if you think it will help.  The least it will do is give the devs a look at some code to compare to.

I'd like to remind people, that Mr. Tagbond put in at least 2 million USD into the whole tagbond project and platform, which includes the coin. He does admit that tagcoin itself is only a small part of the whole. How small? I don't know. Much bigger than all the other alt-coins.

The other alt-coins, most of them, aren't worth their trading price.

You guys wait until I get my GPU rigs running...

hey devs - please have a look after that scamming pool: http://tag.botpool.net/

yesterday i saw many orphaned blocks at my account after ich saw them 15 mins. before confirmed...
though in the last days i have seen always orphaned blocks at that pool - but TAG has no standard-15-seconds-block-time with many orphans

hey miners at that botpool have a look at your stats!

i have chosen for now the TAG-PPS-pool http://tag.cryptopools.com
pay per share - thats good!

i will never mine again with that stinky botpool!

I had similar problem with tag.botpool.net
mining at with them for 3 hours only got accounted for the 1st hour 0.25 TAG
and for the other 2 hours without any orphans or any rejected reported on my miner
I received 0 TAG

I have send email to support botpool@live.com but I smell a big problem or even a SCAM

[tagbond]

I will say again, we are working on it.

If anyone really feels strongly about it or cares about it enough, then have a look at the code yourself and make suggestions. Until then I won't make any more comments until we post a fix. If TAG loses a few miners so be it, cannot help that. There are plenty of other miners willing to battle through this. The difficulty will drop, and the price may drop, but then for some it is an opportunity to buy more..

Anyway, I won't post anything more till we post an update. Getting metaphorically whacked over the head everytime I post anything is getting a bit much..

[ClutchThese]

That's reassuring...


Also, for anyone mining on tag.botpool.net I HIGHLY recommend you look through your blocks mined and the transactions posted.

I had a string of about 12 blocks that were not credited to my account... Take it for what it is and check you transactions and previous blocks for correlation.

If I had to recommend a pool, i'd say tagmining.com by far.  They have about 50 MH/s less, but have never had downtime or fluke missing coins.

Mark,

Thanks for the update. I am surely not going to metaphorically whack you over the head, just going to encourage to keep working it and find a solution. I wish I knew something about code and coins, but I know less than nothing... so I am no help.

I am not mining TAG right now, instead using this down time to mine a few silly coins learning how set my miners in a network, mining to a central wallet, practicing solo mining, and trying my head around Linux... I wish I had Vesper's brain... mine just does not want to compute with Linux.

All good... waiting for the fix.

Thanks!

Same problem on botpool. Blocks being mined, no even a sign of payments for them.

Mandatory Update to Version 1.3

You must update before Feb 2 00:00:00 GMT

Changes:

-Trust system has been overhauled to deal with the orphans issue
-Stake reward fixed, now is properly 1.5%
-PoW subsidy reduction has been altered to be more granular. This change will take effect at block 41000. Pool operators, update your config file accordingly.

[oinquer]

so tagbond? orphans fixed? sorry about hitting the nail again? im eager to jump in but couldnt understand.

[tagbond]

Yes, orphans fixed hopefully.....but it won't take effect till 2 Feb, give everyone time to get updated..

[oinquer]

that's is nice, time to get my 2 rigs into it also then!

Thank you.

[ny2cafuse]

Tagmining has been updated, but in the process I noticed an issue with getinfo displaying the incorrect version.  It through me off at first, and I recompiled/installed to check to see if I had messed something up in the process.  Same results.  Then I checked the protocol version number and it matched with the new code on github.

So to verify you are on the correct version, your protocol version should be 1000300.
