[ANN] FoxCoin - A Fully Dynamic Cyptocurrency [DYING]

[GurungBoi]

hmm which pool are u guys thinking?
Those with fees and other pools? or those pop up ones? hmmm

Definitely http://fox.united-miners.com

On a side note:

The thing to remember with fees is - pools have to pay for servers etc, personally even without owning a pool, I'd be a bit suspicious of pools running on 0% fees - either bad/slow hardware (like a VPS or other shared hardware, or even an Atom-based dedicated server etc), or they are big enough to not need fees and get it from donations (wemineLTC for example).

Generally, a 0.5-2% fee is not much in relation to everything - if you look at your rejects/discards it will probably be higher than 1%, so to me it's never really an issue.

My opinion may come across as biased due to owning a pool, but that's how I mined before United-Miners was around, and my opinion hasn't changed

I totally agree with you on this one

DEVS: Do you need more pools (I've counted 5 already) or another public node?

oh need to wake up at 7:00a.m. to mine this coin

[cmason]

Okay, going to give this a try as my first participation in a coin launch.

I will be using the fox.hackshard.com pool, and trying to mine using a combination of cgminer, minerd and cudaminer on Mac and Linux.  I will have to probably use my windows VM to setup a wallet until other options are available.

I hope everything goes well, and I'm interested to see how the whole thing plays out.

Just a question (since I have a mac) have you tried using a mining program inside the VM? since openCL on osx is kinda of paltry?

Am I missing something here?  People talk of the Windows wallet but I can't find a link.  Has it been released and I've missed it?

Asteroid mines scrypt fine in macos alongside cpuminer in a terminal, albeit slowing the mac to a megacrawl, but if you want that bit more mining speed and don't need the machine to do anything mac-like, install ubuntu on a spare drive and use that.

I don't know, I find openCL works fine for AMD/ATI cards, and competitively with PC benchmarks I've seen, but it's horrible for Nvidia cards.  That's why I'm using cudaminer on my iMac with an Nvidia card.  It's almost three times faster than with OpenCL, but probably still way too slow.

I wouldn't bother mining in a VM, maybe it might work a bit, but would probably make my system less responsive, and it also adds network latency.  As a comparison, I am now mining LTC and Quark on my i7 iMac, using all 8 virtual cores, and maxing out my GPU with cudaminer, and it's still perfectly functional, and I barely notice.  I may not be making much, but it costs me nothing to do so.

Unfortunally I'll be at work when it launches but have already set up an event to close my current klondike miner and move to Fox (via batch final and event triggers). 

I won't have a wallet set up until over 4 hours after it starts so that is 1 large transfer that is due in I hope.

Btw will be on United-Miners with about 1 MH if everything triggers right.

This F$%cking -rep is 2 days old and from an angry miner that does not know how to read..
Check all my pools give out from tx fees to super blocks, if the coin has them, to miners.
Also please check all my pools history and background, you will see I am trustworthy and i have already asked SaltySpitoon to clean that mess for me.

So with that settled, DEVS: Do you need a pool or another public node?

Got a website in the works? Helps on launch even if it just echoes what's in this announcement.

And if'n you gonna, i could do you some fox gfx used in the coin design.

Yeah a website soon after launch would be good, these days with so many coins, having a professional presentation and marketing will make people look past the possible pump n dump and give the coin more of a chance.

[anthonyreid]

sooooo??? where is the conf file?

[RGTeddy]

I've been through the thread a couple times and can't seem to find this. But, is there a link for the Windows Wallet for FoxCoin somewhere?
