[ANN] [SFR] SaffronCoin | Latest Version - 1.4.2/2.6.2 | Mandatory Wallet Update

[griffitsj]

First let me give you guys info about how I stumbled into this community.  I am from the BlakeCoin community and was searching last week for other coins implementing Blake256.  I wish I had found SFR earlier as now everyone has heard of it, but let me be clear it was not the price that attracted me it was the technology and the wallet and the community (unfortunately there are a few negatives in the community which came out yesterday but I urge you to hit the ignore button on those people).

I have had a detailed look at the Blake256 hashing implementation and I am positive that I can provide a Pool and CPU External miner in the next few days.  I have to fit all this around work commitments, so once that is stable I can then look into providing an external GPU miner.

If you have not yet checked it out take a look at the Blake Merged mining ecosystem as well (BLC, BBTC, PHO, ELT, XDQ) - you will not find a better community there who all work together over long term to everyones benefit.  Unfortunately due to the hashing differences between the blake implementations it will not be possible to merge mine this coin without a hard fork and lots of development and testing effort, but at the least the CPU and GPU miners can be adapted from them.

That's great! We could certainly use an external miner. Merged mining will take a lot of rigorous testing. Till it would be great to have a CPU/GPU miner.

If you guys want a Blake256 pool, I can start one in a matter of minutes..

That would be great thanks!

Also I guess some one else has setup a pool for blake. The difficulty is 60. Such a difficulty certainly can't be attained by just wallet mining.

I would like to see it ocminer. Btw is it compatible with stratum blake256 miner like cgminer / cudaminer ?

Setting one up now, will be ready soon 

Yes it will be fully compatible

Classic noob thinking  

ALTcoins that go up 4000% in 4-5 days - CRASH simple as that. Its not rocket science. A first semester finance course can explain why in more detail.

If you want to continue in the fantasy that I caused the crash or it was 'deep' conspiracy theory then I cant help you.

You may not have been the only cause, but putting out a paper that basically tells people that you think the coin is incredibly overpriced sure doesn't help. What was the point of having market cap/price predictions in there anyway? Anyone with half a brain knows you can't predict shit like that, especially in the crypto world. Stick to the facts, not some BS about what you think the price should be.

You're right, having price predictions in a whitepaper is a pretty noob move, glad you can admit your mistake.

In cryptoworld, it is indeed an noob move.
But in real life, it is a prerequisite. Dev was obviously targeting external investors with his whitepaper (But not the appropriate support)

Anyway, the dump began because/after the 4000 % rise, not because of the whitepaper.

But, but... wallet is running modified Blake algo - one that makes 14 rounds of hashing instead of 8 as implemented in BC
There is simply no cpu/gpu available miner :/

Oh okay, I did not notice that on first sight, will look into it and it should not be very hard to mod a existing miner. Will report back soon

Hmm, Algo looks normal to me, it should work with this miner:

https://github.com/kR105/cgminer-alt

or

http://www.blakecoin.org/cgminer-3.7-blake256.tar.gz

You should have a look here @ first post:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=306894.0 (look at Pools/cgminer)


You can give it a try @ https://sfr.suprnova.cc you should see accepted shares, if not, quit mining and I'll have to tweak further, I'm currently out and cannot access my rigs for testing :-/

The price is growing slowly, that's good, we have to grow taking our time like from the start if we want to get a stable and rock solid price!

1000sat seem to be the bottom

[qumatru]

bottom was at 800, hopefully with a bit of news and a little less fud we're gonna see some growth soon

[Watchy312]

"hughjays77" pumped and dumped the shit out of SFR with "smart talk" and insider info.
He dumped an enormous amount of SFR together with a trash "whitepaper", what do you need more?

He made money out of scamming other people and as such is a fucking whore and should be in jail but hell...even in real life whores worse than him get at the top.
That's the sad truth about capitalism but it is so obvious : people with "morals" gets exploited and scammed by people with less "morals" or none at all.
It is especially obvious in ex-soviet states like Russia & China and in...cryptos where "laws" does not apply at all.

However devs are also responsible with this "pump&dump", i'm deceived by them. They gave the power to this guy to destroy the price and as such acted like fools.
With such an info he has been the only one to know, putting aside morals, it was an extremly logic thing for "hughjays77" to dump hard.

I get accepted shares but the blocks found are rejected.. I cannot see a different block structure at first sight, searching for a difference now

So now, what's the next step for saffroncoin, dev?

I read about an exchange in SFR/USD SFR/EUR, I think it's a major idea, and very interesting!
I'm bored of fees between every exchange :
kraken's fees for buying BTC and fees for withdraw to -> bittrex/mintpal/poloniex's fees for buying altcoin with BTC to trade, then fees for selling altcoin to get more BTC, then fees for withdraw to -> kraken and again fees for selling BTC to get EUR and last fees for withdraw to my bank account .

I've read somewhere that bitcoin ecosystem was made to avoid this fees, but we have more and more fees at every single step of the system... If we go on like this we will finally have fees because of placing a buy/sell order even if we cancel it!

I dream of an exchange like you said in the WP, where we can buy saffron directly in USD/EUR and off course in BTC ( ), where the fees deserves to saffroincoin ecosystem and help him to grow like a new bitcoin/litecoin in few month/years.
I'll be very happy if in a relatively near future I can buy some materials with saffroncoin on the net!

I get accepted shares but the blocks found are rejected.. I cannot see a different block structure at first sight, searching for a difference now

Saffroncoind uses a different Blake algorithm than Blake coin. There exists Blake and Blake-2.

There is no GPU miner released for Saffroncoin's Blake algo, but judging by the difficulty (52), there might be a GPU miner (or a botnet) on it.

I think I've got the Algo right, it seems to be a problem with final block creation, there might be some extra information or a different block header which I'm missing.. Maybe one of the devs has a tip for me, currently I cannot find the difference

Someone have said that's the block height if i'm right

Block Height is calculated automatically as far as I see.. Are there any special stratum versions for this coin ? Maybe I can look there
