[ANN] Raycoin (RAY) First Ray Tracing Proof-of-Work - Mine with RTX 2080/70 GPUs

[HotSwapp]

Great project, looking forward  a pleasant cooperation, we want to list you coin on our exchange. A great start, search MXshine! or  marketing email

We invite you to bring your project to our exchange, Altmarkets is a Cryptocurrency 6,000 members and over 100 coins listed. Focusing on lower-tier altcoins we push each coin listing with social media announcements as well as to our growing social channels.

Our BCT Announce: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4687148.0
Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/p4NwBdE

Request a listing with us via the above thread / announce post or visit http://www.altmarkets.cc - We aim to reply within 24 - 48 hours.

Thanks I'll contact you in a few weeks when the cryptocurrency is released.

I recommend that exchanges have a Windows server with a RTX 2080/70 to run raycoind, otherwise you would be "flying blind" not being able to verify block hashes yourself and could only connect to officially trusted servers which have the necessary hardware. For hash verification the cheaper 2070 will likely be the better option as the speed should be identical, but that remains to be tested.

That will make this coin quite hard to get listed on an exchange id say. I doubt anyone is running a windows server with a 2070+ in it. But that also makes it even more interesting!

EDIT: Yep, block explorers and exchanges will need to communicate with a Windows machine that has a 2060+

something unique, i am an amd guy so will wait for what is developing here.

[Qarterd]

After much work I finally released the Raycoin v1.0 blockchain, check out the main post and download it and join me mining!

[Qarterd]

Got a few miners on the Raycoin blockchain now! Everything appears to be working as tested. Any RTX owners here?

[wakka622]

Setup and mining Raycoin! Is there a GUI wallet client or how can check the total of coins mined? Thanks!

Also, I created an unofficial Raycoin Discord Server here:

If the main developer wants to join, I will demote myself and make him Admin so that it can be the official discord server.

Hey thanks. Every block you mine shows up in your raytraces.log, so an easy way to see the number mined is by starting RaycoinViewer and looking at how many entries there are in your log.

It takes 100 blocks for your mined coins to show up in your balance, but the client is a carbon copy of bitcoin (so that I can merge in bitcoin updates) so you can get your balance with:

./raycoin-cli getbalance

You can see all of your immature coins with:

./raycoin-cli listtransactions

You can see all commands with:

./raycoin-cli help

There is no GUI yet, but I was thinking of porting Electrum.

One question that came up is for pools, many pools run on VPS software without GPU's so setting up pools would require capable GPU's.

As for ordinary wallet users, is there a / going to be a light wallet implementation without GPU requirements?

Yes I'm working on getting Electrum set up now. If you have a RTX card then it will use the included Raycoin DLL to verify hashes, otherwise it will request hashes from trusted Electrum servers.

Hmm, I'll try rebuilding the index to see if there are any issues with the current chain.

Also, are they over/under clocked? Try removing all OC. Also, update to the latest drivers.

Delete your <user>/AppData/Roaming/Raycoin folder and try again.

EDIT: rebuilt the index and it's fine

Came for the usual YAF (Yet Another Fork) bashing, wounded up reading the entire thread post (quite usual for even assets I hold) even when I realized my 1070 can't cut it. Wounded up learning a whole lot more on how Ascii miners work.

[giagge]

Need a pool .

[Qarterd]

Electrum wallet pre-release is up now

EDIT: full version up now

[Bigpiggy01]

Finally a developer who effing gets it 

[Qarterd]

Electrum wallet up now, it does not require a RTX card but if you have one it will use RTX to hash, otherwise it falls back to trusting hashes from official servers. You can see in the network panel whether it is hashing (Trust Hashes = disabled).

Any updates with Raycoin? Very interested....
