ts ts ts, raistlinthewiz - always the last in town

Just kiddin, welcome.

More pools is good, as miners can (and hopefully do!) setup failover pools in their configs.....

A quick tip for all miners tonight:

TRY SOLO FIRST !

This thing is getting a reject - orphaned festival, exect pools to break down in the beginning with 30 secs blocktime.

If you mine solo, add --queue 0 --scan-time 1 --expiry 1 to you cgminer.exe, it reduces the rejected and looks for new blocks superfast.

My body is ready!

Your pool is the best of all ones, I keep mining LPC,EAC, and few other coins with You. I will try solo this time, just to be sure:
I need to start wallet on a machine that I'm mining with config file from #1 post. Do You think thoose ad nodes and port are correct?
Then I just need to start bat file like this? Where do I enter my wallet address to receive coins when solo mine?

Cgminer.exe -o 127.0.0.1:4242 -u user -p x --scrypt --queue 0 --scan-time 1 --expiry 1 -I 20 -g 1 -w 512 --thread-concurrency 32765 --no-submit-stale   -l 5 --auto-fan  -g 1 --gpu-fan 40-90 --gpu-powertune 30 --temp-target 88 --temp-overheat 93 --temp-cutoff 95 --temp-hysteresis 3 -v 1 --lookup-gap 2

We have set checkpoints to hopefully resolve this issue, but thanks for getting this out there

Looking forward to the launch! Aliens are landing! WHO WILL BE ABDUCTED AND WHO WILL STAND AND FIGHT!!

[subm3rg3d]

I will fight to the death, or to the melting of my mining devices.

[SuzukiAkito]

I'm seriously looking forward to this. It will be my first time mining something completely new when it does come out XD

~joined the forums~

-am Bob lol

Hoping this will get a good value in the future :3

Yeah this coin must go to the top of charts!

[Aliencoin]

Website has been added, its still under development though - http://aliencoin.org/home/

Great feedback guys, hope everyone is enjoying the build up Exciting, less than 9hours to go!

[skillface]

I'm in on this one as well.

I just wonder if solo mining would even be worth it for me with my measly 300KH/s if the first few hundred blocks are only going to pay out a tiny amount anyway. Not sure if I should still attempt solo mining regardless or just mine at Poolerino from the get-go.

You can try solo mine to see if your lucky, but if you want to be sure then go for a pool obviously. You will be in the long run..

Hello, thank you for your interest. The launch will be announced on the thread was everything has been sorted. We're aiming for a fair and stable launch, we will contact you asap regarding this information.

please feel free to post on the thread,

Kind regards!

Wrote this in another coin's ANN thread, but still applies:

1) Release compiled wallets and source at launch
2) People can start solo mining
3) Zero reward for the first 100 blocks
3) It is built into the wallet to not accept more than 500 kh/s during the first 5000 blocks
    - obfuscate the limitation in the code a little, so it is not trivial one minute job to remove the limit
    - the limit could also be gradually removed instead all at once on 5000th block
    - mega farmers will of course try to circumvent this, but at least it will take a little time to setup multiple wallets
4) During the first 5000 blocks pools have enough time to set up, and will automatically start to operate normally after 5000th block

If you choose to take the standard route, expect WTS 1,000,000 for 1 BTC offers within 1 hour of the launch and small time miners having 100 at that point going ok good bye another coin raped.

Can anyone confirm that wallet will be accepting only 500 Khs?? How about pools?
Then its gonna sux i think.. devs 1% premined and not even any chance to mine something at very begining as another P&D coins?

Its a suggestion from someone else, is it in the OP? Then i don't think this will be happening since it will kill pools because they use the same daemon/wallet.

That's just a suggestion. Here's what the dev for this coin said so far:

I'm deving this coin btw.

As for uniqueness.
Aliencoin will have a fair launch like 42. The first 300 blocks are 0.0001 block reward.
Difficulty adjusts every hour or every 120 blocks. So quick retarget means that a whale of a miner cant push the difficulty up and then stop mining leaving it hanging with a high difficulty.

I put alot of the same changes I made to 42 into this coin.

Keep in mind that this will not take any resources away from 42. I will continue to apply fixes and updates to 42.

I wasn't there for 42's launch so I don't know how that turned out. Apparently it was alright, but I have the feeling that small miners like myself will lose out on this one, by the time the block reward increases to the normal amount the difficulty and net hashrate will already be far too high for us to even find blocks. I remember with Monacoin's launch I was one of the first miners (I ended up with 23 blocks to myself, with the first one being block #6 or so), and even then by the time we'd hit block 300 or so I'd already stopped finding blocks. Of course there was an extreme number of invalid shares during those initial few hours (from forking I'd assume) so that was probably half the problem there, but still.

But again I wasn't around for 42's launch so maybe I'm wrong.
