[PRE-ANN][HVC] Heavycoin - Ultra-secure, Decentralized Block Reward Voting, Fast

[keccak512]

Quick update.  We are in really good shape.

Launch plan: check
Launch tests: check
Wallets: check
RPC mining: check
forked cpuminer: check
forked MPOS: check

The only bit that we are still working on is stratum mining.  It's a bit more involved than usual because Heavycoin has a modified block header structure.

Nomisugi's forked MPOS is looking really nice, but we need to test all components are working together and for that we need stratum mininig.

[keccak512]

But when will be available a mining guide?
I want to know how to set my pc before the launch.

Please let us know what we have to do!

Have you checked our website?  There are sections called "How to mine" and "How to vote" under "Help"

http://heavycoin.github.io/voting.html
http://heavycoin.github.io/mining.html

For  the RPC commands related to voting, please see "RPC voting" under "Help". http://heavycoin.github.io/rpc-voting.html

In terms of external/RPC mining, I've made this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=470391.msg5537068#msg5537068

All check! congratulations.

a customized block structure lead to a customized block_template.py, that would be as easy as falling off a log for you, do it and bring it to us.

Yes I read the website after I wrote my post ...sorry.
In any case, I think I will use the external miner with all my server pointing to my wallet.
So the code could be:

./minerd -a heavy -o htttp://myip:9902 –u mywalletusername –p mywalletpwd -v 1024

Is it right?
When will be available the external miner?

I think you can put it available now...what do you think?

Last warning call to IPO investors!

Please check your IPO stakes at http://heavycoin.github.io/ipo-stakeholders.html and PM any mistakes to keccak512.

This is very important, as any unreported mistakes are uncorrectable after the launch.

a customized block structure lead to a customized block_template.py, that would be as easy as falling off a log for you, do it and bring it to us.

That was an easy part, but obviously not very useful unless the forked CPU miner can assemble the new block structure correctly.

With 2 i7 cpu's and 1 i5 I can mine some coins  

Hate to rain on your parade, but you will get absolutely nothing with that.  I've used 2-3 i7 on other CPU coin launches before and would have made more money picking up pennies off the street.  The rare exception for profit would be if you mined Quark on day 1-3 or so...

Botnets, Amazon instances, cloud mining, etc make every CPU coin completely pointless.  It's always hilarious seeing the random newbs in these threads thinking CPU coins are going to be "the great equalizer" for their $400 hardware, when it's really the exact opposite.

Would you please publish the modified CBlock, then? Or, better, getblocktemplate handler source/spec?

If I connect my cpuminer to my RPC wallet daemon, what do I specify voting as?

Keccah,

Can you confirm what I wrote?
I think could be useful for all...

./minerd -a heavy -o htttp://myip:9902 –u mywalletusername –p mywalletpwd -v 1024


Will the modified cpuminer be available at launch?

BINGO!!! We have a winner. I brought up this very question about 5 pages ago and never got an answer. The silence was deafening. Institutions with 1000s of computers at their disposal will also be a big player.

Thats not true at all....
I have mined a great deal of coins after CPU launches with 2 i7 CPUs. You can definitely mine as long as the difficulty has not grown too high and more power comes to the network. I will mine after launch on my i7s and I will mine as long as enough coins come in. Dont give up before you can try..

Please assign a LOW default value for decentralized block reward voting in the client's settings.

you dont get it, few tens of computers, or even hundreds are not going to influence total network hashing power NOWHERE near as gpu or asic farms, where gpu is worth several cpus alone, not to mention ridiculous disproportion when it comes to asic farms.
this allows general population not only to mine but also seriously contribute to network security, power in numbers and decentralization.
i'd say bitcoin is no longer as secure as it was during cpu mining period. because most of hashing power is getting centralized firmly in the hands of several asic mining cartels, who can manipulate both price and security.

"General population" is going to mine nothing from this coin...unless you count "general population" as being someone who owns 100+ cpus.

Hell, I just got done reading about some guy who spent thousands of dollars on amazon instances for a coin launch.  He got something like 5% of all coins by himself, but barely broke even selling them all after paying his bills.  His dump did manage to crash the market though.  I'm sure he'll be back for this coin since he hasn't lost any money yet and just keep doing it till he strikes it rich on one of them.  The joy of CPU coins.

if you dont know what youre talking about then theres no need to blabblab.

The instance limit of amazon AWS will never allow you to mine "like 5% of all coins" by yourself, thats plain BS. if someone likes to spend a lot of money on instances then that person will be able to mine the coins he deserves. like I said I have mined a great deal on my simple i7's and usual CPU cloud mining on 2x 4 core CPU droplets has been profitable for me too so no need to fud around baby

This coin seems designed to keep people online and hashing...
Whether starting out or hodling what you've already earned/bought - it's in the interest of both groups to stay online and be involved in the voting process, either to vote for lesser or greater block rewards.
Kinda like TimeKoin but with an IPO to set a starting price.

The start time 12:00 UTC on 8th March.  Is that 12:00 Midday, or Midnight?

The website (http://heavycoin.github.io) has a countdown clock. It should be easy enough to work out from that.

Anyone know what the first exchange to carry HVC will be?

I want to get in right off the bat but got ripped off here on the forums trying to buy another coin off the start last week.
