[ANN] [SKC] Skeincoin 0.9.3.1 | Skein-SHA2

[koinjoin75]

Some test made me feel very dangerous, I like the sense of adventure, also like to challenge new things

Now you can trade SKC on www.newcointrade.com.

Hi, i'm pretty new to this Skeincoin thingy and it seems rather interesting. I have a couple questions. i hope someone can answer:

• What kind of curve uses SKC for its PBKDF?
• Is there any blockchain explorer with its corresponding API available?
• Is there any python address generation implementation available?

Thanks to anyone that can answer

Hey,

Skeincoin crypto is the same as Bitcoin's save for the PoW. You can use bitcoin-abe and vanitygen with it (if vanitygen is what you mean by address generation).

Yeah, the command you use is

Code:

./vanitygen -X 63 [prefix]

I'm not looking for a Vanity URL, i'm more interested in generating wallet addresses in pure python to sell my goods . Vanitygen uses C-Python extensions which are a no-no in my current environment. I'll have to check the code tonite

Pycoin will do the trick.

Pycoin will do the trick.

Indeed, downloaded it last night but it was already 2:00am on my timezone, so had to sleep... going to check it tonite.

Announcement for CGminer can be found here! CGminer announcement

Edit: first 15 addresses and specifications post receive coins!

[MethMatician]

do not forget to mention that the first 15 addresses and specifications post receive coins!!!

[gielbier]

what's the abbreviation for this coin?
[SKN] ?

SKC vs SKN still going on.

(also made a little start on the website using Lanochka's new design.(which is epic btw))

A preview can be found here:

(Still haven't got the gradients proper imo)
(also got to fix some scaling on the buttons)
(and clean up css)

Hi everyone,

today my Antminer U1 arrived and I actually bought it for mining SKC. But i cannot use it with CPU- or GPU-miner. I just managed to mine some SHA-256 coins using BFGMiner. But that miner does not support the skein-encryption.
So I wanted to ask if anyone knows if it's possible to integrate the skein-algorithm in the BFGMiner? Someone already did that for the CPU- and GPU-miners, right? So why not for BFGMiner 
At the moment I am using CPU-miner with a speed of around 1 MH/s....
With that speed it will take forever until I can buy a pair of Skeinsocks 

[JHermz]

No mining software will let you mine SKC on your ASIC miner.  The current ASICs only work for SHA-256 coins; this algorithm is different.

You seem really willing to a pair of skeinsocks;). 1mhs a day is what, 25 skein? As a promotion I will give you one pair for 75, I have a few pair left from another batch, special price. Do we have a deal?

@ Dosmas

Great! Thank you! I will contact you when I have enough coins
