Pool two
They have found 37 blocks with husni getting most & terraman & anonymous finding one or two.

We are almost 1/2 way through the EasterBlocks passing 2,000 already.

It is Easter Sunday where I am now, enjoying some Easter Eggs.

[techlover]

No, nothing like that, block rewards stop after easter.

If mining stops, how can we make transactions?
In order to make transaction, we need to either pos or pow to support the network?

[CoinExpert]

I will continue to mine and support the network until all the ETR that people want to exchange is swapped for ULT.

I don't have a problem doing this because I rarely use my CPU for anything.

[CoinExpert]

Eastercoin people your assistance is requested.

I am sure you will want to trade your swapped ETR on an exchange, therefore please help by getting UltimateCoin on a exchange this weekend.

https://comkort.com/vote/#ULT

I did not want to bother you guys with this, I wanted to keep EasterCoin and UltimateCoin as separate and remote as possible, but this is really important and I need to pull in every resource I have that is available. Also please vote multiple if possible.

Thank you those who can Assist !!!

They are supposed to pick the weekly winners each Sunday, I am sure everyone does not want to wait being off an exchange for another week again.

People likely will be pulling out the dirties as well with last minute paid votes and such. Do what you can.

[CoinExpert]

Thanks everyone for your help with that, we are 3rd now.

Something is not correct with wallet nodes. Wasted ~6h mining because wallet was not syncing (it was stuck on block but showed the green tick). Restarted wallet and everything is ok now, just got my 7th block.

FYI internet and computer was ok, as I was using it all the time.

[CoinExpert]

Yeah you will find most Windows wallets will do that from time to time, they get stuck on a block and just don't move. Need to restart it and they show everyone still connected to them too, it is annoying.

Never happened with Linux wallets thou.

Something similar happened to Mikellev, he lost some hours mining a bunch of orphans.

[waldistons]

Thanks for clarification @CoinExpert. I have a favour to ask You, as I didn't notice this info anywhere or just missed it (I have read the whole thread) - can You please point out block rewards please? if possible, like this:

Code:

Blocks 1 - 500:        1 ETR
Blocks 500 - 1000:   5000 ETR
blocks 1000 - X:      0 ETR

Thanks in advance!

[roberts1386]

Is it just for fun or are you planning to go to an exchange?

[CoinExpert]

roberts1386, the ETR will not be on an exchange, but I am offering to exchange the ETR for you thou.

waldistons

Code:

if(nHeight <= 300) {
                nSubsidy = 1 * COIN; // first 300 blocks 1 ETR
        } else if(nHeight <= 4620) {
                nSubsidy = 5000 * COIN;
        } else if(nHeight > 4621) {
                nSubsidy = 0 * COIN;
        } 


    return nSubsidy + nFees;

That's the code

Blocks 1 - 300 = 1 ETR
Blocks 301 - 4620 = 5000 ETR
Blocks 4621 onwards is nothing.

Still plenty to get, but past half way mark now thou.

[waldistons]

Thanks @CoinExpert!

People, we have almost 2K more blocks to mine, i.e. ~33 more hours to mine!

EDIT: I added the pool IP's as nodes and now wallet seems to stay synced all the time. I did restart my PC however, so I'm not sure nodes was the reason. Here are my nodes if anyone interested:

Code:

 addnode=108.166.183.149
 addnode=184.22.109.226
 addnode=66.167.204.89
 addnode=207.12.89.212

[CoinExpert]

Yeah adding the pool's node is a good idea too.

When I added the extra 300 blocks at the start forgot they are making us go over time

[waldistons]

Shit happens, don't worry. I have seen worst launches Anyway, in my time zone mining ends almost exactly tomorrow at midnight

EDIT: Found bug on wallet: when You close main window with debug window open, wallet crashes. I imagine windows forms GUI programming with c++, it's pain in the arse... I'm not familiar with qt framework though...

EDIT2: ETR is no more listed in https://comkort.com/vote/#ULT !!! (yes, I've been voting a lot )

[CoinExpert]

Yeah I think we are on it.

Yeah the Wallet isn't going to be around for much longer anyway.

Thanks a lot for voting !!!

Congratz @CoinExpert!

Code:

NEW COINS AND DUCKDUCKCOIN
on 20.04.2014 0 comments
New coins will be added in next 24 hours.

The list of coins:

BCN Bytecoin
RAP Rap-eCoin
ULT UltimateCoin
PCC Polishcoin
ENC EntropyCoin
EUC Eurocoin
DUCKDUCKCOIN

Due to problems with user wallets and blockchain issues we disabled trading for DUCK pairs. We are waiting for new
wallet version from dev team. 

So how exactly we swap ETR for ULT?

[Stinky_Pete]

Hi

Do we stop mining at a particular time, or when we complete block 4620?

[waldistons]

@StinkyPete - you can continue to mine and support network mining for free after block 4620 (but looking at the code sample couple posts earlier, I assume, that You will be mining just for transmission fees)

[CoinExpert]

Yeah you can do whatever you want, you don't have to stop mining but I don't know why you would want to keep going. Yes stop mining the last reward block, it is not a set time.

[CoinExpert]

Someone msg me they would like ETR to continue, they said they would like it to perhaps become a PoS coin after the end of the block rewards.

If someone else wants to take the project over, they are welcome. I would still like people to get their ULT so what is possible is hard fork it after the reward blocks. That way people can swap the ETR with ULT and still have their ETR on the new fork.
