⚒[CGA] Cryptographic Anomaly - The Elusive Coin⚒

[brother3]

is changing algo from scrypt still on the table? my vote goes to x11 like darkcoin..asic and multipool resistant, cooler video cards and lower electric bills.

Probably not... The way I see it is as the scrypt ASIC start to become more and more available CGA will become more and more valuable (due to more hash power = higher difficulty = less CGA per block). So we almost welcome ASIC because it will only help CGA become more elusive.

Any consideration to put a smaller cap on the coin?

What for? You wont see more then 16 Million in your lifetime. It will take a minimum of 50,000 years to mine all 10 Billion. I don't see an issue.

Awesome!!!

i am really interested in this coin... how would i get started i went to the cga website and downloaded the wallet.... not sure what to do now and this is the first mining project that i have started. anyone interested in helping this n00b out.... old system... ati6970

thanks

I am mining with an 6870 so this is very well possible and that was my first rig also, so I went through the same learning curve.
The PC I used was running XP, so I had to download AMD Catalyst version 12.1 which includes Open C - this is required by the miner SW.
ALso make sure to use CGminer version 3.7.2 which is the last version that supports scypt (used for mining CGA)
Then you can check if the miner work on you computer by registering with a "mining pool" such as TheDigitalMint:
https://cga.thedigitalmint.net/index.php click on "Getting started" on the lower left and follow the directions.
You will then be able to start the miner and you will need to experiment with the settings for your card to get the best results.
Hint: look for no hardware errors (HW=0) and maximum count for Work Units (WU/minute) besides getting a good "hash rate".
What I am using for my old PC and the 6870 is:
--scrypt
--shaders 1120
-I 11 (highest w/o HW errors)
-w 64
-g 2 (default)
--thread-concurrency 2048
Note that all these settings as well as any over-clocking of the GPU core and memory are very dependent on the card,
so you will have to optimize them towards your card, but you can start with fewer setting as indicated in the "Getting Started"
directions on the pool and when it starts working, add more settings to optimize.
Success!

.....poloniex being still frozen.....

I can confirm that Poloniex is working again - I finally went back and submitted a trade that was accepted.
Thanks for all your hard work, it is appreciated!

They had to reindex. All is well now.

All is NOT well the market is frozen again at Poloniex! New fork!?

well i have downloaded the wallet from the website and have encrypted it. that is about it. i cannot find a config file in its directory or the such

You don't need any config file, just unzip the wallet and run it. The software does everything else for you (except mining)

There was a minor problem yesterday, Inceptioncraft was stuck at block 73167 but the rest of the network was fine. Busoni may have gotten stuck there and had to resync. I know that he did get past it though because my deposit eventually got through, but he may have forgotten to unfreeze the market.

hey again,

what is the difference or benefit of joining a pool with a fee as opposed to a pool with no fee?
