Monacoin? Is it scam?

[daimyo]

I just saw the thread but since I am a new user and cant post elsewhere, thought I might put up the question here. I downloaded the wallet and it says "no blockchain available" or some like that as well as 0 connections to network. I hope its not a scam infecting my pc with malware...

any comments?

Moving this to alt currencies for you, you will probably get better support there.

You can also post in the thread, even though its in alt currencies and you are a new member, because it is your thread.

OP is a newbie. He doesn't know how to run a wallet

1: Always run any wallet you download in a sandbox invironment provided by your virus scanner, or check it here; https://www.virustotal.com/en/
2: You need to create a mona.conf file in your users/yourname/appdata/roaming/monacoin/ folder and include some connection details and nodes

4: create the file. Restart wallet. Wait for it to connect.

[bitcodo]

OP is a newbie. He doesn't know how to run a wallet 

...
and Sr. Member posting shit. GFYS


wallet is OK

[MarcusDe]

No, its not a scam.

Better dont make bad press about something you dont have almost any knowledge buddy ;-p
People want to make big money on this. lol.

[daimyo]

Nullu,

Thanks. Its synchronizing now. Rather slowly but it tells its synchronizing. Will post later to tell of further experiences

Overall thanks for the feedback, folks

[theomoplatapus]

There are no scam coins.  Only coins which are more or less profitable for certain people.

Next time try to do some research and ask for OPINIONS and THOUGHTS from people before using the word "SCAM". It makes people nervous and you could possibly ruin some hard work people put into a coin. Just a piece of advice.

[TheTribesman]

My choice is based on the most scientific way to value a crypto. CAT and MONA have the best wallet splash screens. I'm in!!

I agree. Sometimes, less logic yields unexpectedly high results. Try doge also. Its as idiotic as it can be 

[daimyo]

Alright... cant get it  to solo mine

i set up the conf file like

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcport=25535
rpcallowip=localhost
server=1
daemon=1
addnode=95.85.29.144

and the bat file

... -o localhost:25535 -u user -p pass

tells me pool slowdown or invalid credentials...

any suggestions?

No problem. I know it can be all a little confusing when you're new. If you're having difficulty connecting to a wallet, usually someone will have posted about it in the official coin thread. It should have all the information you need. You may need to look around to find the right settings for your miner, depending on if you're solo mining or pool mining, but all the information is on the forum, you just have to dig for it.
