The pool http://multicoin.lightninghash.com/ LightningHash has been great, taking into consideration what I have read in ARS's forum, I am really happy. I was given a comprehensive reply to an inquiry I had concerning the slow conformation rates related to ARS. Nice to know someone is there.

The Arkenstone of Thrain, also known as the "Heart of the Mountain", was a wondrous gem sought by Thorin Oakenshield in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. The Arkenstone is presented as the most valued possession of Thror, King Under the Mountain, of the house of Durin. Frellin' call me a geek, but I just love that. This coin in my mind is instantly neoteric, though so, pertains an intrinsic ancient quality that instills excitation of quest.

The fact that 1 stone per block, starting at 200,000 stones w/ 3yr half rate is very promising on the shear rarity, considering the Peta count of some of the crypt-currencies. Dev is talking about a debit card system, that would be very convenient and as a merchant I would except. Time will tell but I feel good about Arkenstone.

Shitcoin of the day. These scamdevs really lost all innovation. This thread is self moderated for good reason. He'll remove posts like this calling him out.

Hi, pal:
It was some software bug which stops the payment. It is also set now. You should receive your coin by now. If you still have problem, pls email to admin@luckypool.cn.
tks

Still haven't received anything from cryptoco.in, and luckypool has a min withdrawal amount of 1 and a 0.1 tx fee. I would have to mine a couple DAYS to pay just the tx fee. Think I best move along..

lucky pool don't pay the coin , i have 10 coin confirmed and none of them are sent to my wallet

I think this has got potential.. its hard as hell to mine..  gives the Sha world something to dig their teeth into..

it requires patience..  it isn't going to PoS to infinity.. i rented some rigs & hammered it with 950gigs for 12 hours & got 3.

and its only on block 1229 atm with a difficulty just under 2mill.. that was at 1.5mil..

its only going to get harder.. hence the rarity.. so dust off those miners fellow crypto enthusiasts.. there's a new coin err stone to be

mined.. for a long time to come.. .. after all.. the Dwarfs didn't mine the first one in a day...

Am I the only one getting a virus alert from the "arkenstoned.exe" file?

Bitdefender antivirus flags it, and automatically deletes it. Not sure what to make of it.

I get the same thing too.  Avast says it's infected with Win32:Malware-gen.  It just deletes the infected "arkenstoned.exe" file, and the wallet seems to run fine without it.

Anyone have any suggestions as to whether or not it's worthwhile to mine a coin who's developers added a virus into the package?  I know just like University Coin this is one I won't touch.

No virus into the package. Almost all coins have a problem with antivirus programs.

Have to disagree with you big time on that one.  I've got 191  wallets installed on my computer, Arkenstone is one of only 3 I've had virus warnings for.  There's no reason for a false positive.  I'm not a super expert or anything like that, but I can't think of why a cryptocoin would set off a virus flag unless it's infected.

Please, check the source code and make new daemon and qt wallet. Everything will be the same.

Are you serious?  Why on Earth would I ever do that?  If my AV found a virus in your wallet, why on Earth would I ever want to build it myself from the source code?

You built it, put a virus in it, then disseminated it throughout the community.  And when I point out there's a virus in it, you first try to excuse it as a false positive which makes no sense because for it to be a false positive you'd have for some inexplicable reason added the signature of a virus to the file........? 

Then you suggest I build it myself from the source files?  Are you fucking kidding me?

So I catch you spreading a virus, and you try to deflect from that by asserting the problem is on my end because I didn't build the wallet myself from the source files?  You're the dev, so it's on you to disseminate a working and virus free version of the wallet.  It's not the responsibility of someone who's interested in mining your coin to build the wallet themselves if they want to mine the coin without their computers being damaged.

I've almost six years experience working in collections, and I know plenty about hacking and building viruses.  So I can smell your fallacious rhetoric from the onset. 

The correct thing to do would have been to remove the link to the infected file, replace it with a working and non-infected version of the wallet, and to apologize to the entire community for putting their computers at risk.  Instead you attempt to patronize me with nonsense and fallacious assertions.

You're fucking ridiculous.

So what's going on in the Arkenstone world?

Went live last night with a private pool, the NSS Arkenstone Pool, (what a frellin' challenge), I have mined some Stones with it already too!

http://www.use.com/images/s_2/ed5e75fa4c63b6a6928c.jpg
http://www.use.com/images/clicklarge3.gif

It took my Windows trained arse seven frellin' days to get the NSS Pool alive. Ubuntu was a bit of a learning curve after 16yrs as a Windows Senior Field Lead~ My keyboard was all......go ahead type "apt-get install" one more frellin' time...I dare ya'. But it's up and running and for me, Ubuntu is some nice script...., Ubuntu has seemed to tame the learning curve a bit.

Back to the Stone, The Arkenstone! Anything new? I really would like to see a formal website. I have some power to throw at ARS, so give me some new news.

[markostus]

dead?

[iamrickrock]

Stuck on block 2374, 18 hrs behind.

EDIT: Wallet is up to date now.

[mycryptocoin]

Just a quick info: We will remove the pool and the block explorer in one week, if there is no further development.
Reasons: ANN not updated, dev seems to be gone for good.

Unfortunately it seems to be a truism that any coin with a Tolkien tie-in is doomed ...

[doctormandrake]

that is interesting about the tolkien tie-in being fatal to a coin.  I am curious however if there will be any renewed interest when the movie comes out this summer lol
