Looks great, but for a newbie user who is just into mining might be too complicated to get it working!

I'm working on compiling XmasCoin-qt for Windows, was a bit complicated because my operating system had a crash, for now I only have Linux binary, and am working on the MacBook, while windows is reinstalled. If you can compile and pass the whole community would be great: D

As always great pool. however can you change the "You have exceeded the pools configured XMAS warning threshold. Please initiate a transfer!" as i don't have a windows wallet yet, so i'm not able to transfer the coins out yet.

Thanks

To be honest I'm not sure was planning on looking at a few offers and trying to think about how people will feel about it in the next few days.
Since there is 0 market for it yet, pm me what you have if you'd like and we can talk about it or state it openly here for others to see it might help this
coins case. This seems to be one of the few recent coins that was smooth with no pre-mine that seems reasonable and fair

[pterion2910]

Selling 100 xmas coins.

PM me with offers.

[GrrrCoin]

The difficulty seems bugged right? Saying retarget in 10 blocks, but when it should retarget it stays to 4

edit: ho nevermind, diff is 16 according to my cgminer, the pool stats are wrong that's it.

[littlemc]

Where are the xmas carols, i don't hear them 

[efx]

Shouldn't need to re-install an OS unless you experience pretty massive data corruption, which usually indicates hardware failure.


I might have time to compile the windows client tomorrow, we'll see. My mingw compilation environment/dependencies aren't really suited to this version.

[adoalli]

client??

[GrrrCoin]

Well, I definitely don't get the retarget diff strategy, not sure it is working as intended.

[griffitsj]

Well, I definitely don't get the retarget diff strategy, not sure it is working as intended.

Difficulty retargets every 0.35 days according to the Readme in the source. 

The announcement specified a retarget every block using last 10 blocks average, but looking at how it behaves I think the Readme is correct.

[GrrrCoin]

Thanks for the explanation, indeed the readme seems to be closer from the truth than the announcement.

Difficulty of 35 in less than an hour.  Why would we mine this coin over something like Mincoin.  good luck..

wow, just checked the payout on the pool - automatic at 300, on demand costs 1 coin - omg i cant even withdraw....

all withdraws even automatic cost 1 coin on my site.  Its just the TX Fee that we charge.  If you have less then 1 coin then your doing it wrong no offense   I will be lowering the min withdraw limit though

[twistedtrick]

Just received a payout from the HackShard pool with no issues.

[lololol3]

I have more than one xmas coin but withdrwaing it to loose 33% would not be wise..... and people here are mining hundreds or thousands coins....

If you are right, actually the version that has Proof_of_Stake on latest version of the portfolio that is based on the 0.8.6.2 and is in development as we improve this 20x speed issues and other security options. For now I apologize. The working group is in process of completing as soon as possible the new portfolio.

Thanks, Team XmasCoin

[CoinMakr]

Another interesting coin, but you missed a trick not launching this BEFORE Xmas as you might have been able to exploit the holiday season. Now its over, this won't appeal as much i guess. Still, best of luck with it, I like the tree on the logo

Everything possible was done to have her on December 24, Subjects of parties delay and was released with the risk of a currency that every day is Christmas, it is working on a platform for e-commerce that can be used soon. Thanks

THis coin is dead already.
It took too much time before an exchange appears.

Man the difficulty shot up fast. Just took a look at this, 32 already? Sheesh. Not worth the time. I'll stick with a coin that actually makes money for that kind of Diff.

Man the difficulty shot up fast. Just took a look at this, 32 already? Sheesh. Not worth the time. I'll stick with a coin that actually makes money for that kind of Diff. 

Every 12 hours, the difficulty is adjusted again, placed in longer times for a more equitable undermine it. It is initiating a process of recension XmasCoin and so to have a reference point with BTC.

[StealthyCactus]

This is deinfatly still a profitable coin over the long term, even if its not profitable now, what about the possible profits from buying and holding till the next Xmas season? Huge possibility.

[bramvnl]

dead?

[xmascoin]

It is developing the patch, now must close and reopen the wallet. It is generating the slow blocks and will accelerate by 20x

It is developing the patch, now must close and reopen the wallet. It is generating the slow blocks and will accelerate by 20x

What do you mean?

[doromcc666]

good idea, but maybe launch 4 weeks before xmas instead of 4 days after.

[david1365]

Coin is dead

[xmascoin]

Message to the community cryptocurrency apologies are requested, developing XmasCoin was wrong and was not able to correct the block generator for the upgrade, which all necessary changes will be made and work on version 0.8.6.2 of the wallet Bitcoin. For now, just apologize and will work hard to get this cryptocurrency forward.

Thank you.
