[ANN][SCRYPT] KlondikeCoin ★ Cryptsy.com ★ Prepaid VISA Cards ★ 0% Premine [KDC]

To find out if you are on the right chain is quite easy.

Buy a few KDC from Cryptsy and transfer them to your wallet. If you get them, you're on the right chain.

Or vice-versa, send cryptsy some KDC and see if they get it.

Also your "getinfo" on the wallet, should show this:

    "version" : 80602,
    "protocolversion" : 70003,
    "walletversion" : 60000,


Protocol version is the most important.

As far as restarting KDC, a lot of people would come back to this coin, it left a soft spot in their heart when it didn't "pan out" [pun intended].

The thing I for-see though, is that how can new devs get control of the github? Or are you thinking of a community take over with hard fork?  If it is the latter, you'd have to find out what obstacles are in your way as far as getting Cryptsy or other exchanges to support it.

Have you tried contacting any of the previous devs or community leaders? I bet some of them have private email addresses to the original dev team and could help get you access to the official github.

Good luck.

If you read back, I was the one who set that protocol version when the devs forgot to 

I have no interest in getting in control of the old github, or the accounts here for this thread.  When everything is said and done, we'll move the convo over to a fresh thread, and the github will be housed on my Github account, or a Criptoe Team account.

As far as the exchanges are concerned, it only takes a reference to this thread to validate the takeover.  Myself or my team will ping Cryptsy and others to notify them of the change.  Pretty standard fare for coin takeovers.

There were a few community members that I had spoke with in the past regarding the change, but they have not resurfaced since bringing everything up again.  We're just going to push forward with what we're doing and leave the old devs behind.  In my mind, they probably walked away with coin and don't want to have anything to do with KDC anyway.  More power to us, the people who want to make it work.

So.........

KDC needs a relationship with gold. Whether being back by gold or being used to buy gold, like at Amagi or Agora metals.

https://agoracommodities.com/
https://www.amagimetals.com/

Both of these websites accept BTC for gold and other precious metals.

https://www.amagimetals.com/info/btc-as-legal-tender-in-california/

Read the title of the link!!!!!
Explains all, and is a step closer to full fledged US adoption.

erhmmm...... Fuse...... time to get these sites on par with KDC.

I'd love to get KDC accepted on Amagi or Agora, but I feel we have a long way to go.  We need to get people to participate in the discussion here first

Which brings me to another question.  Is it too late for KDC?  I'm ready to put some time into getting this running again, but is the community interested in bringing this back?

-Fuse

I think a lot of people are interested, just waiting to see what the developer is going to do. Many people gave up because the web site has been down for so long, and the forum has been virtually dead. I think KDC has potential, and you need some legitimate Gold connection.
I believe the next few months are going to be critical for a lot of coins. Time for consolidation.

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on what's going on.

Recently NLG switched to DIGI, and the code used is the same code I have written in the new KDC code that I was looking to release.  I wanted to see what was going to happen with the multipools that were hitting NLG, and I wanted to see how DIGI did.  So after about a week of observing, it's a mixed bag.  MPs are still pulling blocks, and the block times are all over the place.

So I've decided to rework the DIGI algo with my team.  We're going back to the drawing board and seeing what can be done to mitigate multipools while still keeping a traditional scrypt structure.  I've got a few ideas I want to discuss with them, and a few that they have brought up in the last week that we want to test.

So that's the scoop.  I just wanted to let everyone know.

Hi  Fuse,

Any update? thanks!

Hi  Fuse,

Any update? thanks!

A member of my team has created a mining simulator.  It essentially lets us test difficulty algorithms inside of an excel spreadsheet, adding jump pool hashrate based on difficulty entry and exit points.  The idea is based off the GOlang based simulator created by /Geert-Johan, the NLG dev.  While his sim was effectively the first in crypto, the Criptoe team needed something more familiar to our coding style and easier to use.  Here's a preview of what we're working with:



So the simulator is allowing us to write and test a custom algorithm, similar to DIGI, but with short term and long term retarget to smooth out block times and difficulty jumps.  Seeing the results that NLG had with Clevermining and it's DIGI implementation, which I pushed for over the last 5 months, I wanted to make sure we don't have the same mediocre results here.  Now don't get me wrong, DIGI is making it difficulty for CM to rape NLG like it did before, but it's also paying a toll on the block times and average blocks per day.  We are also looking at modifying the traditional algo and seeing what we can do with that.

While we're not expert developers, we've been around long enough to learn from our past experiences.  If we push an update to KDC, we want it to be solid.

So that's where we're at currently.  We could push an update tomorrow, but it wouldn't be great.  We want KDC to be great.

Great work! KDC will be great!

Hi all,

today I opened again my klondike wallet after almost a year since I didn't open it, and it says "0 connections on the network" "no blocks available". I thought this alt coin had died a long time ago, but I just saw there is still some people working on it or interested?

So, is there anything I can do to rescue my klondikes and make it work again?

Thanks

Hey, mate 

Best bet is to try to sync your wallet to my pool.  Add the following line to you config, and you should start seeing connections:

Code:

addnode=criptoe.com

Done. 1 connection now. Syncing... That means I'm able to transfer the klondikes to cryptsy?

Is this coin dead, or what's the status?

[nicklucky123]

Hi fuse,

I want to know what's the status now? we wait too long, thanks!

Rimbit Co Ltd, the company behind Rimbit, is running a successful crowdfunding campaign ($124,989 raised) at Indiegogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/next-evolution-in-digital-currency. They are currently offering a buyout opportunity to holders of KlondikeCoin.

Because you believe in the crypto currency idea, you – at some stage – had faith in KlondikeCoin. They hope that by exchanging your dead coin for Rimbit, your faith will also move over to Rimbit. Users are the most valuable asset to any crypto currency and its community, and it would be a shame if you were to lose interest in the crypto currency idea because of a poorly developed coin, when there are viable alternatives like Rimbit.

You should get in touch with them by posting at their forum: http://rimbitforum.com

Why would rimbit have interest in essentially providing handouts to people, aside from being a marketing jump-start? What is the tangible value behind the buyout?

I'm not part of the development team, but instead of asking how "they" benefit from this, you should ask yourself how you can benefit from it. If you don't find any reason, it's probably not the right thing to do.

I asked you because you were spamming it. if you can't answer the question, should you be promoting something you don't understand?

[SteinGalen]

I think it's a great idea that holders of dead coin have the opportunity to get bailed out with a viable alternative. That I understand. My post was to spark interest, so people can look into it on their own. Now, instead of trolling me you can do your own research … or not.

Wasn't trolling, I was just responding to your post seeking greater information. You did, afterall, post it from the standpoint of familiarity, which is why I asked. Yes, anyone can look into it and see if they find interest--but there are many of these hopeful groups around, and some of them have an end-game of suckering people out of their coin or money which is why I try to draw their validity to light.

Trolling - Sowing discord, starting arguments, posting inflammatory, extraneous or off-topic messages with deliberate provocative intent of disruption or derailing the topic.

Yup, I still have a ton of these nuggets. I loved this coin!
