[ANN][FCN] FantomCoin. CN-based currency with merged mining. LAUNCHED NOW!

[amphibian]

Joint-coin, lol
There will be no problems with logo!

By the way... cool logo, baby.

[madzooka]

Good luck, dude, hope everything go well.
Logo  is awesome

Eh ... I put away my join. And I want to say that we have found yet another bug in JeCoin merged miner. I'm going to fix it before release. As a bonus for forum people I promise to release it with a GUI miner. Heh

I've read like there was another bug in BitMonero. It has already fixed.
Hope to see you'll fix everything soon.
Wish you luck as others

I don't understand why MM is such heated debate. It seems to me if the same CPU can mine two coins, it's better to mine two coins.

Because you are merging Monero, a coin somewhat distinct for a clean launch, with a coin shrouded in mystery with a lot of suspicious manipulation around it (80% mined when released to the public, vague allusions to use in the darknet despite no real evidence as such, an incredibly polished pool miner (Minergate) within days of launch that just happens to charge 10%, team separated from the Cryptonote team for unclear reasons, etc.). That hurts the marketability of Monero. I highly doubt that Bytecoin will ever take off as it will never be able to shake the 80% mined problem. Look at how much trouble Darkcoin has and that was an order of magnitude smaller ninja-mine. 

Monero also doesn't need the Bytecoin network to secure its hash as it is already on track to surpass the Bytecoin net hashrate. It would essentially be linking Monero to a coin that will likely become increasingly smaller relative to Monero for no real advantage.

Monero network hash rate is now much bigger than Bytecoin. Mining Bytecoin is not relevant anymore. In the next few months, I don't believe that people remember Bytecoin as the first CryptoNote, but a failed coin.

A new fork is not needed. And remember nobody wants MM other than you only

Only time will show if you r right.
IMO, that BCN is like BTC in its early time and if you remember there were a lot of fork that promised to replace Bitcoin but this didn't happen. So, I doubt that BCN will become a ''failed'' coin.
But as I have told, only time will show

I want MM.

FantomCoin [FCN] is going to be launched in several hours
Blockchain starts 5/6/2014 2:00pm GMT

I'm really sorry for all that delays. But now all tests were done successfully and we are ready to launch FantomCoin

Are binaries and source going to be introduced in this thread or on some other place?

It would be better to postpone it for tomorrow, as it is late by 2 hours already

[Wanesst]

It's interesting but I don't find where is links to download and more info about m/maining...

amphibian, can you need a help?

[amphibian]

10 minutes till start!

[alex_bronco]

I doubt about 10 min...

[iamahappyminer]

I thought that it would never happen! :like:

IT'S TIME TO START MINING, GUYS! EVERYTHING IS READY!

You may download everything you need there:
http://fantomcoin.org/


First merged mining instructions for those who doesn't like GUI:

First of all be sure of two things:

• You have BCN or BMR address. If you don't know how to get it, please visit this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=544715
• You downloaded FantomCoin binaries and extracted them somwhere.

1. Launch Bytecoin's or Bitmonero's daemon and wait till its synchronization.

2. Start FantomCoin's daemon. The process is very similar to BCN's: launch command line, navigate to the right folder and launch fantomoind.exe . Use "save" command after synchronization  

3. Create FCN's address. Again it is the same process as for BCN and BMR: open another instance of command line, navigate to Fantomcoin’s folder and generate new wallet with “simplewallet”.

simplewallet --generate-new-wallet=example_wallet.bin --pass=12345

Here “example_wallet.bin” is the name of the wallet (use .bin file extension) and “12345” is the password for your new wallet.

4. One more command line is needed. Navigate to Fantomcoin's folder and launch minerc.exe using the next command:

minerc --node1=127.0.0.1:8081 --node2=127.0.0.1:24081 --wallet1=%your BCN or BMR address% --wallet2=%your FCN address%

--node1=127.0.0.1:8081 is IP and BCN's daemon port. If you want MM with BMR you need to use this one: --node1=127.0.0.1:18081 instead
--node2=127.0.0.1:24081 is IP and FCN's  daemon port

5. Enjoy merged mining!


Merged mining with GUI:

1. Start daemons and make sure they are synchronized with the network. Use save command after it.
2. Start GUI miner. Add BCN/BMR and FCN addresses to the right field. Click "Start"
3. PROFIT!
