[ANN][GRA] Graincoin - New PoW/PoS coin | Fast, secure | Version 1.5 Released!

[Apocangel]

I'm ok with devs premining a small amount. Working for free is simply stupid.

With that out of the way, how lucky have you all been while mining solo?

I'm just mining with my 2 GPUs at around 550 kh/s. Been lucky these 2 days. I'm getting a block every 90 to 120 minutes.

5 million would be a small amount. 500 million is 1% of all GRA to be in circulation, ever, and the majority of it for the near future. This is the complete opposite of what a distributed currency is supposed to be and ignores the entire point of mining/minting in the first place.

Working? Most of it is someone else's code.

What's wrong with doing some work for free? I guess those people that bring us free and open source software are stupid for working for free, huh? Like I said, if that coin has any real value people will support it and the developers, but premining is an obvious attempt to promote a copy coin and prop it up long enough for the developer to cash out.

Bosian, why not give away 95% of the premine and create a donation address funded with the other 5% for promoting the coin? If you do this, I'll donate the 10k from the giveaway and match it from what I mined (about 5% of what I mined). I'm sure there are others that would donate as well.

Here I see it again, a dog barking hard, on a low premined coin. Why not you bark at a coin that premined 5%? or 20%?

Why not tell people that your purpose is to destroy a competitor so that your shitcoin may gain more popularity? I saw this all over again, when Elephantcoin (ELP) launched with 0.4% premine, a few dogs like you bark the whole day, with lengthy and useless paragraphs, all bullshits. While other coins, premined at a much higher rate, seems "tolerated". Why? because these dogs come from these shitcoins!

I am glad ELP is going on very well, on cryptsy... (I am not the dev, I am just an early miner).

If you are really someone who hate the premines, then go bark at these much higher premined coins. Of course you won't do it, because these are your shitcoins.

BTW, this is my other thread on premined coins:

[Apocangel]

You don't like pre-mined coins. Good for you.

Moving on.

Is there a way to measure the total hashes per sec being processed by the client at the moment? I have 3 rigs working at the moment and they all send their work to a single Graincoin-qt client.

The problem is with minerd (CPU). It displays hashes per sec for each thread and it is impossible to keep tabs of all 3 CPUs and the attached GPUs.

Sorry for the noob question, but I can't seem to build headless in Ubuntu Saucy.

Using make -f makefile.unix gives an error after some time. Any ideas or is there a linux binary?

[tekkx2k13]

hi all,

gra.forkpool.com seems to be stuck.
more than 7 hours since last block.

maybe the owner could check this.

kind regards,

It seems OK now.

[udjin123]

I restart cron manually and all right.
Blocks and charges have not been lost, payments were only just now

[karky]

Yes, i've got all payments too. It's fine.

It looks like to both download links in download page of Grain Office Site: http://graincoin.webs.com/downloads from Mega & Skydrive are having problem, I could not able to download the V1.1 from these links.

[esteeming]

I can download the V1.1 from the links which provided by Bosian at first page of this post.

There is no problem found so far after downloaded and installed it

Thank you very much for your hard work, well done mate

[mountainview]

Definitely.

[ptjames]

Looks like support for this coins growing pretty rapidly.

If it doesn't end up on an exchange by late Jan I'll set up a small exchange to allow trades between this and BTC + LTC so we can at least commence trading on a smaller scale.
