wtf? i just withdrew a bunch from them and i'm staking, watching the blocks go by
 
currently on blk 1212212

Status: 386 confirmations
Date: 3/11/2015 06:39

[stevegreer]

I put my laptop in sleep mode before I came to work today, so my wallet isn't minting. That's probably the reason why no more blocks are being generated. 





















Surely I jest!

[LionOfNarnia]

Komcort is OK again.

[groggin]

Allcrypt is going away for a while ....

https://www.allcrypt.com/blog/2015/03/allcrypt-com-will-be-going-offline-for-a-while/

if anyone else has Zeits over there pls open a ticket if you havn't allready and maybe we can recover them

Hi Fred,

2.0.1.5 or 2.0.16 both seem to be using about 50% if you are running on a dual processor with zeitcoins.
If your wallet is empty , then they only use ~25% on a dual processor.

........

Zeit Tip,
the more blocks the more secure the zeit network
less blocks mean less CPU usage

In future version we could to switch to any SHA or keccak algorithm for the block generation.
There is no need to use Scrypt anymore. If that's the better choice for the CPU load is another question - but it could safe us lots of memory.

Edit: BTER.com is fully back with new interface and 0% trading fee. Don't forget to give ZEIT your vote. (Place 5/256)

Zeit Exchange News

Traders on Cryptsy manipulating the price lower as usual.
(Its what they do.) 

Comkort currently holding ~200 verses ~170 on cryptsy.

Lowest price to buy Zeitcoins is on Cryptsy, highest price to sell Zeitcoins is on Comkort.

South Xchange & Yobit still operational.

IMO
In it sucks to be a POW Coin News

Litecoin marketcap is only ~20 million from where it was in Nov 1,2013 .
It has ~ 6 months before it rewards halves from 50 to 25.
Which means at best it will be half as profitable, what will be interesting is what happens if it falls below a 50 million marketcap before that time, odds are it will and then it will plummet.

When that plummet hits litecoin, its value will drop below $1 .
That is when Zeit's Price will begin to skyrocket, and everyone that has been selling zeitcoins for worthless litecoins , are going to be in for a real awakening. LOL

Has anyone else experienced the new wallet using excessive CPU%?  It didn't seem to happen when I first upgraded to it, but the past 2 days, it's been hogging 50% to 60%... I've restarted the wallet and the PC and it still ends up about the same.  I like to keep the wallet open all the time but it's slowing the whole PC down.

Hi Fred,

2.0.1.5 or 2.0.16 both seem to be using about 50% if you are running on a dual processor with zeitcoins.
If your wallet is empty , then they only use ~25% on a dual processor.

On a Quad processor with coins in the zeit wallet it stays under ~20%.

If you are running a dual processor and you need the cpu speed during the day, then you just leave the wallet off until you are ready to let it stake. You could let it stake overnight when not using it.

 

FYI:
One thing you can try is to use coin control and decrease the amount of blocks by combining the amounts into fewer blocks.

Zeit Tip,

OK, so I used coin control and consolidated all my smaller blocks, into a few large blocks.  CPU% dropped about half.  I had consolidated once before, but it'd been a while so I had a ton of small blocks between a few hundred and a few thousand.
Thanks,
Fred

If we do change the algo it should be to the most energy-efficient available - Just as a small example that we are serious about what we stand for, in spirit & in practice.

I wish I'd share your optimistic view, but you seem to be a little biased There are litterally 100's of coins who can take over LTC, why do you think it would be ZEIT. I hope so too, but where do you base it on

[BainbridgeJ]

I'd like to see a little less speculation and more consolidation.

As Ray has suggested, let's make use of our coinpayments.net listing to buy and sell in Zeitcoins;
look at casheer.net to see if we can get listed for mobile payments https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=487814.12480

Specifically, how could we encourage use? I'm talking about use within communities like the Bristol £ http://bristolpound.org/

Zeitcoin could be used to 'tip' artists and musicians on the Internet. Maybe we need to reach out to encourage them to accept Zeitcoins. From those little acorns, payment systems for services could grow.

Could we have a go at getting Zeitcoin listed in the vote to be in the next edition of the book "Cryptocurrency "The Alt-ernative" A Beginner's Reference"?

This book is currently available on Amazon.

My vote was recorded a few hours ago @ #5.

Amused to see so many votes for paycoin - do they intend it to be a 'morality tale' for the new era?

(If you're a bad boy, the paycoin scammers will get you!)

[stevegreer]

Voted! I also had requested Zeit be added to his first addition a year ago https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=483187.120 on the last day he was polling for his first list of 50. We were only two weeks old at the time, and no one else came into the thread to voice for us, so unfortunately we did not get added then. Still, it is awesome that we did this time! Good find, Joe!

Nice Work, a_cat_named_joe   

Everyone Vote, as something like this will help the Mainstream Public find out about Zeitcoin.

Zeit Games Research

Ok, someday would like to see zeitcoins be used to pay for online games.
Kind of like the old days where we put quarters into a video game to play.
Zeit (time) coins used to buy more time in a game.

What I need from you zeit gamers is information.
What kind of online games do you like and are their any you would be willing to pay to play?

Please feel free to mention anything game related, especially if you are currently paying to play any online role play games.

Thanks for your help with this research.
