[ANN] PHO Photon blake256- MERGE MINE 6 COINS- NO PREMINE - POW ONLY 4+ YRS

[cryptopaddles]

Hmm. So I'm gonna bring up the elephant in the room about this coin. Anyone else notice the massive sell orders at 2 sats? Wouldn't it be nice for everyone who put a sell order at 2 sats to maybe, you know, remove it... lol.

yes its lame 

Being late to the pho party I have to respectfully disagree with this one

Snatchin up coins as quick as I can JIC pho ever does push beyond 2 sat's.  at 2 satoshi's, assuming all coins where in circulation, pho would be looking at ~1,800BTC market cap (pretty respectable imho).  Anybody have any mining distribution timeline curve fancy chart kinda thing available for pho?

No, no fancy charts. About 5 billion photons a year for the next 12 years until 90 billion

Good stuff, thanks

[paramind22]

30 BTC buy order at 2 Sat.  This is going to be interesting to watch.

[Seasonic]

I criticised this coin and BlueDragon in the past but after taking time to understand the concept, I must admit I was so wrong about Photon and and its purpose. BlueDragon, my sincere apology for getting you wrong. I wish you and the rest team members best wishes. Good luck to all the stakeholders. Peace!

Very cool to see another pool for pho popping up.  I went ahead and gave it a go with my mid-range Asus gaming laptop and was finally able to land a single share after ~45 minutes of hashing :/
Obviously not going to be earning enough to support the network this way sadly :/

I am curious.  Is photon mining difficulty soaring as of late because of all of these (blake2b) based ASIC's that Bitmain and those other guys are flooding the market with?  Or does blake2b differ from blake256 substantially enough that units like the Antminer A8 won't work?

[BlueDragon747]

why would anyone want to solo pool mine Photon when it has auxpow and can merge mined since 2014 crazy  

at least they updated the post this time so it say correct blakecoin algo and not sha256  


the only asic that is know to work and actually does Blake256R8 is Baikal Giant-B

Blake2b is different algo and will not work!

Pool lycheebit.com SCAM !!! Do not mine there promaynil 5 hours coin Nihilo, they all blocks were thrown into the orphan !!! Do not waste your time and money on this pool !!!

[Franz McDinglehofmeisterb]

Maybe things are quiet now. Here is general advice.

1) Anybody can work on any coin, market it, make a website whatever. But the most basic common courtesy is to respect devs who are already working on the coin. Once you decide to go against original devs you have to state clearly that you are hijacking the coin, starting a hostile takeover, so things are clear.

2) Photon was made by Cinnamon Carter as a continuation of the Blake coins made by Bluedragon. Bluedragon and Cinnamon both have posted enough of their philosophies that it is clear they don't do scams. Obviously they have to eat and need money, so safe guess they will cooperate with legitimate improvements that add value to the coin though.

3) A lot of new people in crypto have the idea that they can just get a bunch of people, and if they get enough people or power they can hijack a coin and make themselves big boys. Coins, for the most part, are made by people who are sharp enough that they work on their own by choice. People whose first inclination is to form a group to get power are usually younger types with less experience and more prone to mistakes.

Photon, and the other Blake coins are probably pretty solid long term. They have been around a while and when cryptoblastoff occurs they should do well.

These coins are not btc or ltc. They are not even especially unique. Their value right now is probably about reasonable, until work is done to improve them or improve the Blake ecosystem.

Anybody who has an idea to improve the coins could post, then be patient and get opinions. The game thing is slow to develop but there are a lot of new things that can be done with coins that nobody has thought of yet. All somebody has to do is find some entirely new idea that isn't a bullshit rehash of other ideas, and if the idea is presented well and fits into this coin it could be a rocket. If nobody at this coin sees your idea like you then take it to a different coin and try. Photon has a better history than most coins, it has impressive distribution on the exchange and will probably do okay if people don't thrash it with fake pumps.

Actually have something really exciting in the works for Blake. Should have more details in a couple of months. Stay tuned!

don't waste your time here peoples , don't expect more from dev bluedraoung

PHO needs a decent wallet big time: Mac & Windows, and maybe iOS and Android as well. My coins are marooned on Cryptopia for the foreseeable future and I don't like it.

What's wrong with the PHO wallet?  The qt works like a champ and is super fast.  I've never had any issues with it?

The QT wallet works fine tested on windows 10/8.1/7 and has been built from the source code that is on github by developer Cinnamon Carter who also designed Photon back in 2014 and is still active just like me

Mac and Android have been attempted several times as we prefer to actually build it from source rather than what some projects do which is pay a 3rd party for these, we are not ignoring these platforms just have not got a working stable build to do any release for Mac/Android

Edit:
Added a basic Virtual Machine Guide for running Windows on Mac so you can use the current Windows QT on Mac in a Windows VM

what is the FUTURE plan for this PHO  ?
