[SNC/❄] Snowcoin | PoS SHA256 coin | launched 7 December 2013 | Winter is coming

[Chris180Z]

tekcoin, tigercoin, joulecoin, asiccoin were all copycat failures... why would i mine this now?

Because it's Snowcoin!

lol. Fail.

[kr105]

So why make a coin to begin with? Also who made the pool then?

I just wanted to see if it's easy to clone Bitcoin.

Lol ! Yes it is easy. I almost pointed some of my miners to this coin but after this statement I changed my mind

Well, now I know it's easy. Anyway I'm planning to integrate mining into the client after I get more nodes running.

[voteformeg]

maybe an easy qt-exe will get snowcoin more miners

[platti]

i compiled the sources with no errors. wallet is running on linux, and i could mined some coines too.
there are hundreds of scrypt coins, so why no more sha256 coins?

Snowcoin...THE only coin where you can be sure that he will RISE slowly in winter, and DROP heavy in summer

Snowcoin, for the cold days.

Seasonal coins give a new meaning to pump and dump. Why not santacoin anyway?

FYI

Here is the first block:

Code:

}

Does not appear to be pre-mined.

I did try to set up and Abe block explorer, and had some luck until I get to block 3338. Then I see what looks like 2 entries in "tx":

}

I'm just guessing, maybe that's the first time someone tried to add a Transaction Comment? I know Abe may not be quite fully baked for ppcoin, this may be part of that. I was using the ppcoin branch.

Just if anyone else tries to setup Abe, you'll need the genesis raw transaction. I had to tweak the source to get it, it seems small, but here it is:

Code:

010000004a45ad5200000000000000

I mined a bit, seems like difficulty is low.

Added another node:

Code:

addnode=50.56.121.30

Downloads

https://github.com/snowcoin/snowcoin (you'll have to compile it yourself; everything should work good)

Yes! Sure, we are all programmers WTB 1Mio. for 0.001. Oh wait, I can't deposit, because I have no client. 

[sn0w]

Windows client now available. I was finally able to set up Win7 virtual machine with working MinGW.

[platti]

are there any nodes online?

Can't get it to work. Its looking for DLLs. When I download the DLLs and finally have them all it errors out.

[boxuser]

Anybody got a working windows client?

Never mind, I got it to work using the dll from UNICOIN windows-QT
