notEvilDime

[bitcoiner9384100]

I was an avid miner of this coin when it was released in 2017. If you are familiar with the Not Evil search engine/Tor hidden service, you may remember when the site implemented a rewards program. Users were paid in NED for submitting search queries.
In 2019 I tried connecting to the network again and downloading the blockchain but no nodes were online. cryptoid.info had shut down their node and removed notEvilDime from their block explorer. I didn't have a copy of the blockchain but luckily I was able to contact cryptoid and they sent me a .zip of their data directory in 2020.
If you are interested in solo mining a bitcoin-like sha256 coin, notEvilDime is for you. The only hashing power currently on the network is my trusty nvidia gtx 1080 making ~1Gh/s, so the network difficulty is quite low. While the Not Evil rewards program and search engine haven't existed for quite some time, in my opinion notEvilDime still has collectable value. Solve some blocks today and own a piece of dark web history.

I dont believe anyone with an asic for sha256 will run this.  No value.  No hope to have value.  Its not what people do.  Let alone waste hashes on a coin with no future. 

I certainly wont. Would be better to turn the asics off then mine a worthless coin….in case Op missed it…this coin is worthless than ZERO.

So how is one able to see the stats such as the mining difficulty and confirmed transactions/blocks if there is no block explorer to visualise this?

That's a solid approach. I think profitability really depends on your electricity costs and which algorithm you choose. Have you calculated your break-even point?

What are you talking about? The coin isn't even trading anywhere and hasn't been doing so for a good number of years. So the coins you mine are just worth no value.

The network difficulty is so low that you could mine with a couple old block erupters or a gpu. Also, this is less of a business venture and more of an interesting experiment in reviving an abandoned blockchain.

The command getmininginfo provides some useful information:

Code:

getmininginfo
{
"blocks" : 4282,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 122.54185292,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"hashespersec" : 0,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"testnet" : false
}

There are many other useful commands that can be ran in the command window of the wallet software similar to bitcoin core.

I think he's a bot.

I dont think you understand what a waste of time you are posting about.  Dead coin and block chain is dead.  No one care.

This is not a shit coin…its a dead coin.  Worthless like your posts.

This is just a hobby project. Bitcointalk is for discussing all manner of crypto currency projects and topics, not just ones that interest you personally. Judging by your post history it's clear that you're just an arrogant hater who can't write proper English. Show us all how much you don't care and kindly piss off.

Says the 5 time poster with zero merit.

I dont like scammers.  I see you as this.  Making claims trying to get people to mine the dead chain.  

I suspect you are hiding your main account….because its the kinda shit scammers do.  

Seems this account only has talked about this dead coin…what exactly do you think you are adding? 

The answer is NOTHING.
