So far, this coin seems to be terrible. Change the logo. Relaunch.. I dunno.

[smith88]

paccoin is a new crypto currency being developed.

It is a bitcoin based SHA256D coin with Proof of Stake.

The coin offers 500 coins per block, with a new block every minute.

The github site is: https://github.com/wmcorless/paccoin.git

Currently offering paccoind and paccoin-qt in linux/unix

Need help getting windows binaries.

This coin will mine very fast, so get yours while its easy. if you have any questions, post them below.

Can you provide more detail?  Any pools, exchanges, etc...  Also this coin seems to be affiliated with a centralized organization...?  Curious.

[gnox]

no nodes .. the one in the github repository only says connection timeout

[wmcorless]

try these:

addnode=91.121.149.35
addnode=54.214.251.198
addnode=151.229.177.76
addnode=99.238.240.96
addnode=84.118.159.44

Yes there was some discussion about whether or not a central authority should be able to offer some kind of refund if someone loses their coins. However that was scrapped, and this is a pure P2P network, like bitcoin.

[Lauda]

Why should I mine this?

[wmcorless]

Why should I mine this?

You can cpu mine this and score big time. But as what will eventually happen you'll have to use GPU's and then ASICs.

Best to get in on the ground floor.

We also want to merge mine with bitcoin and namecoin. Anyone able to help with this?

[platti]

are there any active nodes?

[bbxx]

fail launch
no nodes

addnode=72.234.46.224 gives nothing

[markm]

Did you open an incoming port? I opened incoming on one of my servers and got 8 connections so far, so maybe none of those nodes have incoming ports open themselves and needed my open port to find a place to meet at?

The orignal post is crappy though, to find out the port and the RPC port I had to grep through the code.

The github text file claims the thing is based on blehcoin but the repo is not a fork of any existing repo so there are no diffs to look at to see what it changed as compared to what it claims to be a fork of. Thus any kinds of evil code could be in there and we'd have to read the entire code every file of it to find out since they possibly deliberately didn't do a proper on-github fork, thus making it much harder to find out what they actually changed.

-MarkM-

what port do I need to open? for connecting to network and for mining with external miner

[markm]

The default RPC port is 8212, the default p2p networking port is, uh I forgot again already. I put it into firewall on a remote server and promptly forgot it.

Look in protocol.h

...Ok found it in there:

const int DEF_PROT=8112;
const int DEF_RPCPORT=8212;
const int DEF_TESTNET_PORT=8312;
const int DEF_TESTNET_RPCPORT=18312;

Weirdly the server still has only 8 connections, 8 is how many you get if you only do outgoing connections. I wonder if there are only 8 nodes out there or maybe I mucked up the firewall setting or that is not the right port afterall or what...

Hmm now only 6 connections. I guess there just aren't many people awake and setting up nodes yet...

thanks a lot, I'll setup my VPS-es to add a bit more servers to network

[markm]

Well so much for the claims that it will be easy to mine: someone just turned on some hideous overkill amount of hashing, turning it into nothing but orphans.

Tone it down who-ever you are, no point all sitting around getting orphans lets just all enjoy nice easy hashing not overkill the thing so bad it turns into an orphan-fest...

You're driving up the difficulty for yourself too y'know not just everyone else. The coin doesn't need your mega-rigs to rake in coins for you this early in the game, save them for later...

If you wanna be greedy, tune down until listtransactions shows you're getting about half the blocks. That'll leave half for all the peons to divvy up between them and mean they will have a reason to promote the coin for you so when you dump you'll at least get something for your coins.

thx, works now

[bbxx]

next useless coin
solomining 70GH/sec
is not giving any blocks

[MaGNeT]

Instead of pre- / instamining, we now have coins without a compiled Windows-QT to make sure not too many people will mine it from the start.
