Yes, almost half an hour

could someone please make a x64 and x86 windows build? https://www.dropbox.com/s/qszqn79q48828f4/CoinShieldV1.1.zip?dl=0

Here is the x64 build: https://mega.co.nz/#!bBV0jRYJ!u1j1KczgIvURkGy_mtg5rZNBGj0FO_RweqKhH8pKDmo
I've compiled also with AVX and CORE2 flags to have better performance on specific CPUs.
Sorry but currently I don't have x86 build environment. If I'll have some free time I'll try to build one.

Hi Paul,

I am curious with your 1000 cores, how many blocks you mined per hours. I mine nothing.

Best Rgrds,

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qszqn79q48828f4/CoinShieldV1.1.zip?dl=0

Added stats for accepted and rejected blocks.
Removed mutexes for a more reliable bock submission process.

I have some optimization ideas to improve the mining performance approximately 4x; they will be added to this miner after the GPU channel launch.

In 15 minutes, 1 cpu, 3 blocks, 3 rejects. So still having all rejects... had like 20 with previous miner.

There is something weird going on here.  you had 3 blocks in 15 mins? 
I've done another 1000 cores for an hour with the new miner, and I didn't find a single block.  no errors, no rejects.  I am using gmp 6.0.0

i would like to know what 1k cores means that could be anything to me ive seen alot where people talk about cores on these forums a core could be anything  of any architecture eg: arm pentium etc etc

thanks! So which .exe should I use for i5? coinshield_prime-avx.exe?

I searched on the net and looks like i5 supports AVX instruction set so you can use coinshield_prime-avx.exe.
You can also use this tool to check your CPU features: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

Hey I only ran 1000 cores as a test for a few hours and after having difficulties getting it to work I gave up. So now I'm using 20 cores and have mined 6 blocks in 12 hours

Would be a good start to get the people already here signed up on coinshieldtalk.org and  participating in the voting process as it stands currently you simply could not absorb any coin on the current number of votes. If you haven't already signed up you should head over there now and start helping to build the community.

fudge,

Direct this one at Krypto Kash, he's the guy for marketing. I can though breakdown what I'm working on, and how this will work hand in hand with his marketing:

A] - Getting solid GPU developer working on the GPU miner edit: Bitslapper is on it, GPU launch is going to be 3 weeks from today, I'm releasing some new updates that will go live on 10/7/2014 that make some modifications to the difficulty which will modulate the nTargetTimespan instead of having nChainMod be another modular like the block time, this will keep block time at 1/2 the time when released rewards are too high.

B] - Developing Open-Source Pool, which will go live on 10/7 with the new updates, donation only [so free if you want it to be], using LLP server templates.

C] - Proof of stake will then go live 2 weeks after GPU launch, which will prompt me to develop the voting channels on the main site. Once these are functioning and live, 2 weeks later the first exchange channel will be opened up. From there a new channel will be opened every 1-2 weeks.

D] - Once all mining channels are active, and the voting/exchange channels are active on the main site, this is when the whole Coinshield system will be fully functional. Every new coin added to an exchange channel, petitioned, appealed will be known by the community through social media, forums, etc.

E] - After the core of my developmental work is done, I will then be free to work on my education/exchange company, to educate real people about crypto-currencies. We will be using standard marketing techniques to let people know about classes that will be held for free. These classes will be taught by me - face to face - to help average everyday people get use of crypto. This will work as an entry point through Coinshield, as they will have the protection and advice to know what investments to go to/stay away from. I have already begun this, found a couple decent people that are starting to spread the word, etc. This will grow in organization.

F] - During this process, a money transmitting license will be getting obtained by me, in order to start the Coinshield Exchange. I will be developing a payment database system that will ride on top of the Coinshield Network to then allow these average people to utilize something as simple as a debit card to use their crypto-currencies, while allowing the Exchange System to keep track of all their tax reports, etc for the IRS. Through the education process and peer to peer marketing, we will be working on getting businesses to accept this currency, face to face, person to person. The biggest problem I've seen thus far from talking to average people about Crypto is they don't understand it, so this will hopefully bridge this.

My biggest goal here, is to relate to the everyday people, and help them secure their money outside of FIAT. I spent a long time ensuring Coinshield could act as a stable currency with the Time-Released Supply, Upgraded Security [in light of quantum computing], Unified Time, etc. The internet is going to be a section of our overall marketing, Crypto needs some outside investors. Keep in mind circumstances do shift around the time-lines, so don't take these timelines exactly literally. This is an objective breakdown, with optimal timelines


Unix Timestamps for Coinshield Activations:

1412704800 - 1.0.1 Updates go live at this Timestamp. Version 1 blocks will be rejected after this update. Have your binaries updated by then. Will release binaries in next day or two.

1413914400 - GPU Channel Launch / Version 2 GPU blocks will begin to be accepted by the Coinshield Network

1414519200 - POS Channel Activation - Proof of Stake blocks will begin to be accepted by the Coinshield Network. Will require new binaries before the Timestamp. These will be released one week in advance.

@Viz, whats your marketing plan? We need to build a strong community if you want this project succedeed

In the next few hours the forum (coinshieldtalk.org) will be going offline for some updates.

Unlike other coins, CoinShield's value directly stems from our community. The more people vote, comment, create petitions, and exchange shitcoins for CSD the more CSD's value will rise.

CoinShield is the first ALT. coin made for miners and investors who are tried of owning non-Verified coins, supporting non-Verified coins, being scammed by non-Verified coins, and losing money on non-Verified coins, Our internet marketing won't focus on trying to persuade the crypto community that we are the best non-centralized currency in the world (we all know that is bitcoin). Instead it will be focusing on introducing CoinShield to:

• the entire mining community
• all the pool operators
• all the ALT. coin investors

Once CoinShield is fully operational (all channels are launched, voting and exchange are ready) we will be buying adspace on various sites (bitcointalk, coinmarketcap, etc.) to help inform the community. We may incentivise users to add CoinShield on their signature here on bitcointalk. Currently we are building our followers on twitter to let the community know what coins are being killed in real time (follow us now if you currently do not: https://twitter.com/CoinShieldTalk).

I feel our job is to inform the community and keep them up to date with what we are killing and what is being voted on. Internet Marketing that focuses on anything else is just to create hype and make a bubble. We want CoinShield to be a stable economy where wealth can be built while clones/scams can be killed.

With this said, If you have any ideas on what else you think we should do please PM me or post here.

Still working on forum, updates are almost done. I will let you guys know when it is up again.

I need to sign up but I'm kinda high atm 

getting hard to find blocks again, might stop on my lower spec cpus until the pools arrive
tbh I'm hoping they're up before the 7th or another optimisation is released

I'm working on getting a Beta pool up within a few days, stats will be on your miner for this. Will clean everything up for 10/7 release. I built the pool miner with the optimizations done by Supercomputing, but for the full range of prime clusters. Will be weighted per difficulty share so you'll be sure to get some CSD

I would like to sell 2000 CSD. Please pm me if somebody like to buy.

This is starting to feel like solo primecoin back in the day.  ah the Nostalgia!
