Description:
Based on PPCoin. More focused on the production of coins by PoS than PoW.
Mining has a bonus on the interval 1-512 difficulty for high initial issue of coins.
Further difficulty will gradually increase, making PoS mining more promising.

EMC established as the local currency of a number of Internet projects (social networks, research projects, networking, games) as well as to support and sponsor hightech projects (robotics, electric vehicles, submersibles).

Of course, EMC is available for any cryptocurrency operations.

 
There will be no pre-mining. Binaries and sources will be available on December 11 2013 Moscow (12:00 +3 GMT).


- Total coins: 1 * 10^9 EMC
- PoW block spacing changes from 10 seconds to 10 minutes depending on number of found blocks and difficulty.
- Award for block is 5020 EMC ( decreases depending on complexity)
- Difficulty is recalculated each block
- PoS - 6% per year
- Confirmations for new block : 32

Now payment links open correctly as in qt-Bitcoin client.
You can integrate EMC reception on their sites using the links format emercoin:EMCAdress?Amount=x (where x - number of coins).

Hiya folks,

Just thought that I would say hello all.

I hev just started on coin mining for the first time ever and was wondering if any of you have tried to mine emercoin.

I have one AntMiner U1 and a Vista laptop.

I believe that the pc should not matter when using AntMiner U1 --- correct??

I have installed the UART USB driver.
I have done the Zadig thingy.
I have installed cgminer.
I have installed emercoin-qt.
I have a powered USB hub.
I have registered with pool.emercoin.com and the pool address is pool.emercoin.com:3333

I have followed this instruction:

"Use your miner program to mine with workers you have set. For example, to mine with cgminer you need to run the following command - cgminer -o pool.emercoin.com:3333 -u MyUser.1 -p MyPassword"

Should the -u option be filled with just myuser or with myuser witha .1 added?

Yet when I start cgminer do the inputs as described above, I get the following noticein cgminer:

     --  pool setup failure

How do I resolve this?

Can anybody help?

Cheers

Mining for most coins is fairly much the same, so your problem doesn't appear to be specific to Emercoin.

Did you just put -u MyUser.1 -p MyPassword or did you actually set up a worker on the pool website first and put your worker's name and pass when you start cgminer?

I have not used the pool.emercoin.com, but perhaps you need to set up a "worker" on that pool, then the name and password for the worker that you set up.

If that isn't the problem, and you're new to mining, then I'd suggest trying to mine solo to confirm things are working before directing your hash power to a pool.

Hoping a more experienced user will answer, if you can't solve your issue soon.

I think Emercoin is a good one to mine, especially if you are new

Hi MessyCoin and thanks for your reply.  

I have a worker already set up in pool.emercoin.com.

In cgminer in I put the url = pool.emercoin.com and in the user field  - my username and the pool.emercoin.com password in the password field.

Perhaps I should try with your suggestion of putting my worker name and password instead....(as you suggest)

Anyway, I will try it and see if it works.

Am I right in assuming that port 3333 is the only port I can use with pool.emercoin.com?

Thanks again

wtf, no debug window?

[tantk]

is there any exchange for this coin?

not yet but soon will be
the hash rate is growing very fast

Introducing the new service - Emerfor.org
While this prototype distributes 10 EMC anyone who comes with a unique address IP.
But the main idea - sponsoring the project Folding @ Home using a crypto-currency.

[Fixx]

Unfortunately, the service Emerfor.org is temporarily stopped.
The reason - there was one too crafty fellow, who decided to pick up all the coins by changing your IP address and substituting new EMC. He pickup about 400 coins, he went into a rage and using vulnerability - began to vandalize.

Because of this, the following will have to enter a captcha soon.

But there is good news - unknown sponsor deposited balance service on another 1000 + EMC

[MessyCoin]

Unfortunately, the service Emerfor.org is temporarily stopped.

I saw this and knew you were likely to shut it down. The little notes seemed quite humorous at first but the vandal showed no sign of stopping.

Hope the captcha will help as it's great to see this service!

[Fixx]

Emerfor.org service is available again.

So far this looks like a incredibly heavy early-adopter coin.  For example, the first few block rewards were 10 second target, with around 5000 coins per block.  Now the target is around 10 minutes, and the reward is about 250/block.  I've mined this coin at 7+ GH/s for a day, and I only have around 200 coins.

Judging from the mechanism, it seems that the more popular this coin becomes, the harder it will be to generate new coins.  This seems to be a very sneaky pre-mine mechanism to me...

It was easier at the beginning before the difficulty adjusted, and before the network hash rate began to grow  (as with most coins).

I still have a few EmerCoins that I can share, if people post their addresses..

Yo MessyCoin,

Is the offer still open?

By the way, I managed to get cgminer working on pool.emercoin.com. Thanks for your help.

cheers

[MessyCoin]

Is the offer still open?

I have a giveaway thread at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=403956.0

Still sending coins out once per week or so

Glad you got it working!

Cheers Messy,

Will check it out.

Yeps, got it working at a limping pace. The hashrate is only one third of what it should be, but at least it is working and I am mining on pool.emercoin.com.

Still -- better a limp than a stall.

This is my very first attempt at mining a coin, so quite a learning curve.

Cheers
