[ANN] HelixCoin [HXC] SHA3 - ON TO CRYSTAL! - EXCHANGED

[BitCoinPokerBro]

It will take 59 days to collectively mine an amount equal to the premine.

Hey folks,

suprnova.cc will be adding a pool for helix too !

You can add https://helix.suprnova.cc to the list of pools !

We'll open the site as soon as we're ready with the source.

It will take 59 days to collectively mine an amount equal to the premine

Lets do the math together!

premine: 120,000,000*0.0016 = ~192,000
1 day of mining: 2160*151 = 326,160

Therefore the premine is approxmiately 192/326 = .58

Meaning that the entire premine is worth less than 14 hours of mining.

We are not trying to rob the community, we want to see it flourish with quality algorithm coins that will be spent between users as a coin should. Even with a premine we find it hard to believe that devs can in good conscience release a coin with ungodly 2% premines. A little is needed to get the coin around to sites it needs to be.

This I shall mine!

[bitwho]

Your math is incorrect. Total coins ever to be made is 120,000,000 NOT the number of blocks, as it states in the OP
For correct math
Multiply 120,000,000 * ~0.0016 (which is .16%) ~= 192000 coin premine

i'm sorry. i saw the total coins as 120billion. i accept my mistake and see that premine is not that bad anymore. as long as you use it to promote it could be justifiable. i still dont like premines  


i edited my post and i would like you to edit yours and remove my FUD. (you quoted my post and i can't erase that)

cheers

[jimlite]

Well discuss what pre-mine is used for.
If it is just to line devs pockets, bad.
If it is to promote the coin and pay to
get on exchanges, then good.

Cheers!
Happy mining on launch!

So how would the batch file look for solo-mining on cgminer? I've never solo-mined before and would like to know how for this launch.  I have one 7950.

Run the wallet
make config and run wallet again and leave it running (if you use the solo special it autogens a config)
Using the keccak version of cgminer linked in OP:

cgminer.exe --keccak -0 127.0.0.1:(rpc-port-number) -u (rpc user set in config) - (password set in config)

optionally set your intensity from 4-14

Best of luck at launch

Thanks for the info.  I've also never really solo mined before or used anything other than standard scrypt mining(outside of thorcoin which I never got to work right solo).  Could you confirm that these are the right total noob steps from what I've gleaned from other (possibly wrong) sources for solo mining?

0. get miner early.
1. download and run wallet.
2. Close wallet so helix.conf file is generated
3. put miner in ? directory?
3. set rpcuser and rpc password to anything I want in helix.conf?
4. start wallet an leave it running
5. run cgminer using the following assuming user/pass/port is X :  cgminer.exe --keccak --no-submit-stale -o 127.0.0.1:X -u x -p x

Does the mining software have to be in the same directory as the wallet software or is it in the /roaming/helix/ dir where the helix.conf lives?
Can I set the user/pass to anything or does it have to be my wallet address or something?  I see in the miner example bat included in the miner from the OP they put what appears to be a wallet address even though they appear to be using a pool.
Is the user/pass/port I set in the .conf file important for anything else but the cgminer instance I'm running?

I'm sorry for the really dumb questions but I've not been able to get it to work successfully and I know I'm missing something stupid and I really want this to actually work for the few seconds my 6950 can actually do something productive after launch.  I was going to try and set it up with maxcoin but I can't seem to get the wallet to sync.

helix.suprnova.cc shows max stats.. is the port 3333 correct for helix?

Any port could be 'correct'... it's just a stratum connection.

Looking forward to seeing this coin take off - I think I will solo it from the start and see how things go.

I dislike the idea of an 'official pool' however... we see enough coins with a majority of hashing power piled on one pool - having an official pool seems to make this all the more likely.

htf do you have a pool efficiency if this isnt being mined

[yannis7777]

How do we setup an sha-3 ATI GPU rig to mine?
CGminer? Something else? Could you elaborate please?

[Sparkzor]

CGminer? Something else? Could you elaborate please?

It's in the OP.
It's a special CGminer that works with keccak (sha-3) use -w 64 and -I 14 then your normal clocks etc
Remember to put --keccak in the config

[Helix-Coin]

Sha-3 requires an edited version of CGMiner, which we have linked in the OP.  Shortly there will be sample configurations included to help you out. Watch the OP

We have more than 1 coin. Thats how.

[tabnk]

Must MINE. Value will same BLackCoin. Don't miss the boat. Richer soon .

Many thanks mate!

[Manwe]

Is there a hashrate list?
Like for ATI7850 and E3 1230 V3.
