I've spent a few hours on cgminer setup and need some help. I used the cgminer dl in the OP. It has a blake256.conf file and a cgminer. conf file. Anyone know the correct settings? Win7 64.
The cgminer.conf file is what you're after. But first you need to create a photon.conf file in your Users/user/appdata/Roaming/Photon folder with the following details: listen=1 gen=0 rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 rpcuser= usernamerpcpassword= passwordrpcport=8984 server=1 daemon=1 addnode=162.243.101.139 I bolded the details where you put your personal information. After this photon.conf file is saved in your appdata folder, change the same bolded settings in your cgminer.conf file: { "pools" : [ { "url" : " http://127.0.0.1:8984", "user" : " Username", "pass" : " password" } ], "intensity" : "11", "auto-gpu" : true, "expiry" : "10", "failover-only" : true, "gpu-threads" : "1", "log" : "5", "no-restart" : true, "queue" : "5", "scan-time" : "1", "worksize" : "128", "temp-hysteresis" : "4", "blake256" : true, "vectors" : "1", "kernel-path" : "/" } Save this conf file, and open cgminer.exe. The lower details (intensity, etc.) can be adjusted according to your GFX card. If you're a newbie to that too, I'd suggest only messing with the Intensity. Thanks for the quick response. I had spent a few hours trying what you mentioned. But your response made me remember that the wallet will not load for me if I use the port in the wallet .conf file, so I deleted it. That's probably my problem, which means I'm totally fucked on this launch. And I saw it immediately on Twitter. Edit: I added the port back to wallet conf, now it opens. cgminer hashing away. It's always the little stupid things....

Actually, I found that there is already a coin called photoncoin before you released, which was released on Jan, 2014.
I want to know what's the relationship of this coin and photoncoin!

I suggest the authors to put on the picture of this coin, and it will make this coin more formal, not like a scammed coin!

I noticed this too. I'm curious as well. Maybe dead? I don't think it is a scam. Cinnamon Carter is the dev. Also dev of Cinnamoncoin. Seems like a legit guy. It wasn't premined because I immediately saw the Tweet and announcement on cryptocointalk. Was less than block 1000 when I finally got the wallet to work after an hour or so. It's cool getting these hashrates, but I wonder if it ends up being the same as everything else after difficulty adjusts. I'm not sure they need an image of a coin. What would you buy with photons?

I'm still curious about that other coin. The Website doesn't seem to work. I'm guessing it failed? It was announced by "Jimmy". I see his name a lot. I just can't remember which other coins he is associated with off the top of my head.

That‘s right. But compared with mounts of other scrypt-based and quark-cloned coins, photon is at least more meaningful although is blakecoin clone!

Photon will be merge mined on my Blakecoin pools in the near future atm I am working on a temporary pool for Photon while I work on the Merge mine code and front end for a multi coin pool Merged = mined at same time no pool switching

Because I'm too lazy to do my own research right now, does anyone know how the difficulty for a coin like this compares to scrypt? I get 3X my normal GPU hashrate, but I see the dif is already over 2 million. Is there any way to relate the two algorithms? What would be a low dif and a high dif for blake256? I'm still getting blocks, but I'm wondering at what point it will become inefficient. I'm running at 1.5 Gh/s and 900 Mh/s.
Also, thanks for everyone's help and thanks to BlueDragon747 for the pool work.

Ok Pool is now open couple of know issues 1. Gmail works ok but some other email don't get the token 2. emails tend to goto spam folder these are just some issue due to using latest version of MPOS The pool has a proportional payout, fixed 1.5% fee, based in New York with a Gigabit network connection http://photon1.blakecoin.com (using the newer MPOS with email based security) This is a temporary pool server while the work on merge mining Blakecoin and Photon is done!

I am using this pool with the: cg miner for mining Photon build for windows http://www.mediafire.com/download/684hf76zz97ak45/Photon_cgminer-blake256.7zI signed up for the pool, confirmed, and made a worker. I use the line: cgminer --blake256 -o stratum+tcp://photon1.blakecoin.com:3334 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password I keep getting [H-not-zero] and share rejected.
