Graincoin OS X Wallet Binaries

I finally got around to putting together OS X wallet binaries for graincoin. Two are available:

OS X 10.7: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8rWObF4xz1YeERVc3cxeGJVLUE/edit?usp=sharing
OS X 10.9: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8rWObF4xz1Ya3c0bTlBel9hZkk/edit?usp=sharing

These binaries required changing the code in some places, so I'll put up a pull request soon at github.

Great news. Too bad I don't have a mac to test it right now but I'm sure others will.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the price of this coin say 1 month, 6 months, 1 year? One thing that I see that is holding this coin back is the size of some of the sell orders. Sure people want to make a profit which is understandable, but when you place large sell orders in the 100k plus or greater size it only slows the upper momentum of the coins long term value. What I'm saying is large sell orders put a temporary floor to the price whereas if the sell orders were gradual in size then the buy orders would have to chase the price which in turn would allow a steady price increase and value to the coin.

I personally think the coin has staying power, the community is great, the developers and pools support is second to none, new shops are picking it up and the out look is good. I think within 1 month we break 200 satoshi per coin and surpass Dogecoins value, within 6 months we could potentially be in the same range as Feathercoin currently is which is around 30,000 satoshi. A year out I can't say but if we were to hold 30,000 to 50,000 satoshi per coin we would be doing good.

Time will tell. Thoughts?

Thank you so much ~

The value of coins is depend on how many people agree this coin is good,

The reason why I said 'Good', functionally, every coins are same
but, some coin is growing very best, and some coin is under stable,
but, some coin is going down, and almost nothing,

one of good example is doge, it has successed with big reward concept, and followed some coins are not such as Moon/Infinity.... Maybe people think Doge is more than enough, so do not need it's clone

PoS/PoW coins are always keeping it life, some coin is big success(?) such as PeerCoin, Novacoin, but, some coins are feel very difficult such as Nec, Tag, .... anyway, it is under the proof of concept stage,

and, Some functional coins are keep their life and waiting a sponser suc as casino, sex, and game coines.

Some coins are making very rare number of coins, 42, Pi, ....


About Graincoins,

it has pretty good number of coins (practically, 3500)
it has pretty good concep PoW/PoS
it has well controlled PoS (3X, not much or not less)
it has multipool proof (every block retarget)

more important things are

it has good dev & support team
it has good community


Even just my personal wish, I think, this coin can go into Number #10 group in the coinmarketcap,
evwn it will takes long time ~

This is a good coin to hold.  The PoS feature is a strong incentive against jumping in and out of GRA.  I feel that makes GRA less risky than many other alts; I think you will see a slow rise over a long (for crypto at least) time period of many months to perhaps a year.  I've amassed a nice holding and intend on hanging on for the ride.  A diversified portfolio is key to success in investing in crypto.  GRA = less volatility but slow growth.  Putting some BTC here is, for me, a choice I feel confident in.

The tiny icons for the binaries are the Graincoin symbol, ,  which seems to be endorsed by bosian and got favorite votes from myself and a couple of others in an informal poll. The symbol looks like this in a sentence:

     One bitcoin shouldn't go for any more than 80, IMO.

Note that I put a 4pt space between and the "80".

The symbol can be integrated into your posts using the following links:

Nice work! I sent you some bounty. Thanks again.

Voted for and liked on Cryptsy Forum.  Is there an IRC channel available for grain?  Would anyone be interested in one? Could be useful to  spread information and updates until the forums/subreddit pickup speed.

sure would be good to have an IRC.

Everyone is hot on Cash right now. It's a Pos/Pow currency. It's interesting, but honestly I think it's already caused major problems for itself. The difficulty has gone up way too much. When miners move onto another coin the difficulty is going to take a massive swing, and then block rewards will increase again as the difficulty goes down. Everyone's basing their price estimates on Cash on a model where the difficulty and interest keeps going up, but the growth seems unsustainable. I don't see how an unsustainable growth model like that can work, not unless the difficulty goes up or reaches a sustainable level. Sounds stressful to me.

I have 2.2 Million Grain now. I made the right choice.

A few hours ago something odd happened to my other wallet where I started solo mining.
I arrived home and had a notification about a transaction of about 1600 coins, checked cgminer and had about 30000 Accepted shares. I only had 1  transaction prior to this so the wallet showed only one transaction in Recent Transactions but showed 2 in Number of Transactions.
Wallet was synced.
Tried to do a -repairwallet and did nothing. Then -salvagewallet and number of transactions lowered to 1.
Did a -rescan and stayed at 1 transaction.
Now, what did happen to the other transaction? Is there a record I can check based on my wallet address?

These are supposed to be orphaned blocks. They will occaisionally remain visible on the ledger with a "?". 90% of the time they simply vanish, leaving little to no time for one to snag the TXid.

The only way to tell if you have had any, is to compare the TX count with cgminer's tally.

Try 'listtransactions' in the debug console. That will show all orphans.

Just tried and doesn't show that transaction but shows a new orphan from today, about 1800coins...

over 3 hours, there are only 11 orphans,

and, I have empt all wallet and blocks, and resynced again,

over 4 hours, there are only 9 orphans,

hmm, maybe, I have to give to mine this coin .......

Maybe you can put Round Information and Account Information a bit higher so we can see all the info in one place without having to scroll down...

[Galimore]

Cryptsy has been adding a lot of new coins lately. Personally, I'm switching over and mining for a bit while the difficulty is still really low. Coin has a lot of potential and now is the time to hop on.

Hi,

Is it possible to get a static share difficulty of 32 or 64?
I am mining with 300-400 kH/s and I mostly get nothing from short rounds (<30% of expected shares), because the share difficulty often changes to 128 or 256.
It is kinda shitty if you mine the whole 1000% round and in the next short round you just get nothing, because you didnt submit a share fast enough due to the high share difficulty.

Kind regards,
bobbyb

I don't quite understand you. Do you mean that's more or less orphans than you expected?

With Cloudcoin (I know I keep mentioning it, but it's an extreme example) the PoS fights would not be consistent... sometimes you could mine without losing much, other times it was nearly impossible (in one 24 hour period there was a window of less than a minute where mined blocks remained valid... everything else, the other 1339 minutes, was 100% orphaned).

I'd guess the level of PoS vs. Pow fighting with a typical hybrid coin like GRA will vary as people with big balances (=trust) connect and disconnect from the network.

It is a good idea. I think all troubles with shares archive fixed now, and i will try make new settings for vardiff tomorrow.
Possible i will try to decrease base target, this is settings increase shares per round.

I have mined for 7 hours with 2.2Mh/s,

and, I just got 20 orphans ONLY,

It is unbeliable, maybe I am in a fork ~ (even hard to belive it ^^)

I need a rest, and need to think again ~
