SoloMiner discussion topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=611121.0

Bounty for the OP translation: 20 FCN for each post.

Specifications:

- PoW algorithm: CryptoNight;
- 60 sec blocks;
- 18.4m total coins supply;
- emission curve 22 => 50% coins will be emitted in 6 years;
- block reward decreases according to the formula (2⁶⁴ - 1 - A)*2^-22*10^-12 where A = supply mined to date;
- difficulty retargets every block;
- merged mining with Bytecoin (BCN), Monero (XMR), QuazarCoin (QCN), duckNote (duck) or any CN based coin. New blockchain needs no additional hashpower - it uses Bytecoin/BCN, Monero/XMR, QuazarCoin/QCN blocks or shares as PoW. Miners are free to choose "donor" chain they like. In case other chains based on CryptoNote will appear they also can be used as "donor" chains.

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

First of all be sure of two things:

• You have BCN/XMR/QCN 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 somewhere.

1. Launch Bytecoin's/Monero's/QuazarCoin'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 for BCN, XMR and QCN: 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/XMR/QCN address% --wallet2=%your FCN address%

--node1=127.0.0.1:8081 is IP and BCN's daemon port. If you want MM with MRO 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/MRO and FCN addresses to the right field. Click "Start"
3. PROFIT!

I think there was no need of another fork just for MM

[Cheesus]

Nice to see first MM CryptoNote project up and running. Started mining with BCN 10 minutes ago - working just fine.

[thankful_for_today]

I think there was no need of another fork just for MM

Community around BitMonero was completely against MM this time and we could not include it in BMR. Amphibian decided to deploy his work this way. MM at least doesn't consume additional energy.

Please, help me! 
 I try to launch minerc.exe, but nothing happens. What do I need to do?

[Stanford]

Interesting to try it.

I like that curve emission – 22 and that 50% coins will be emitted in 6 years. IMO, it provides FTC's resistance for a long time. I hope it won't change

I read somewhere that you need to create a .bat file with the commands in step 4.

[BreakingBAD]

I like the interface of FTC.   

PS The PoW algorithm: CryptoNight is the most reliable today, isn't it?

[coolmyrig]

I WANT KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS COIN.

[PonyBoy]

What is the total hash rate at? Currently mining at 9hr

MacOS version is ready: https://mega.co.nz/#!4Y8QEbjb!A1H1oyvMBNVcu1FCkAZG7hdMTDp-h705hbBo359esLM

Im having the same problem, cant launch it

It's f*cking awesome! Does it work on 10.6  version of Mac OS? 

[Lyomon86]

What do you want to know about this coin?

It is a new and perspective. It allows merged mining with BCN or BMR.

All characteristics of that currency presented here:

[Zickafa]

If I MM two currencies (e. p Fantomcoin+Bytecoin or Fantomcoin+Bitmonero) does it mean that hashing power is split between 2 coins?

[BreakingBAD]

Is there any difference between the PC and Mac versions? I have both PC and Mac. Which one should I use for more profitable mining?

[GVanelly]

If I were you I would use both devices for merge mining 

[SlyWax]

What about the low hashrate of minerc, how does it relate to HR in daemon ?

[fartbags]

Can you fix the miner? It is getting too low of a hashrate for me.

I would love to merge mine if you fixed that

[Wanesst]

I mined about 15 FCN after the launch, this is normal/low/high?
