[INF8] Infinium-8. Privacy-centric & CPU-mining

[Infinium8]

WTS 100 INF8

Hi,
I admit I'm being lazy right now, but tired of reading posts. Was anything mentioned about a time frame of getting on some exchanges?

Thanks and Have a Good Day

First we need a block explorer.

upd I sent request to Hitbtc.

anyone had that ? 

The tests are broken at the moment, but you can compile the binaries specifically:
make daemon
make simplewallet

The tests can't be compiled because the emission is infinite. I am working on it.

give up

[ROBERTO]

When you release the block explorer?

Just for info people don't like because the problem is INFINITE coin!!

No max supply!

PM me your offer

Guys got some noob questions here as I have never done cryptonote.

First I get wallet addresses but they look very large compared to addresses from other coins. Is this address valid?

inf8WxuMhuZaeVJiacwMQ7Z377CS8kXwxZhusQBLHELRBm8ZBGPMCXmikE4TGq5Tya75uPpfcpwDi1q JL2WGDHAH182Yckm1in

Second, if I start the infiniumd with this address and 8 which is the cores on that machine, I am then solo mining?

Third, it appears that infiniumd is opening port 27854 on that machine, but I have 3 more machines with 8 core vishera processors which I would like to point at that daemon. How do I start those machines to point there and mine under the same wallet address?

Fourth, if I wanted to point infiniumd to a pool I can't find the commands for that in the --help screen. Any tips?

Again, noob questions I now. Can you guys help a brother out?

Thanks.

pool mining is easiest, and I am not saying that just because I am a pool op.

All you do is get the minerd from wolf (for Linux) and then run the below command.

minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://inf8.extremepool.org:5555 -u address -p x

Thanks for the help sir. I was actually solo mining on two machines and have found 3 blocks so far.    I have figured out how to mine with the simple Infinium interface and actually as an IT guy I prefer it to GUIs.

I suspect that won't last for ever though. I used your example as well and mined against a pool and received coins back. So thank you for the information. Right now think I am going for the solo mining, but suspect I will be mining at your pool shortly.

Thanks again.

Hey guys.

Looks like the network is working okay. Been hitting blocks solo mining all night and today, was able to transfer coins between wallets and they move pretty quickly. 

So what's the plan? Where are we going with this? Looks pretty stable so far but not a lot of posters here.

Any bites from exchanges yet?

Just would like to know where we are going with this coin.

Be good all.

[ROBERTO]

Yes agree with you MinerMario "Just would like to know where we are going with this coin"

Yesterday i try to talk about INF8 on poloniex trollbox and people are answered directly is not interresting because there is an infinite number of coin. They do not find it interresting and think it will have no value.

That is why there is no support for INF8.

It would certainly change something to make INF8 attractive, such as establishing a maximun number of coin.

Certainly some information that the developer should hear and take into advisement. What do you think dev?

[MinerMario]

Hello? Anyone home?

Man it would be a damn shame if this coin is left to rot. It seems to be technology wise quite stable from launch and that's a great thing. Is there no interest at all? Dev did you read the comments above? Any chance of limiting the number of coins?

Hope to hear something about where we are going from here.

the point of the coin is to have no limit, so why would you now want to limit the amount of coins.  That doesn't' make any sense.

The truth is that many coins have an infinite supply, though they don't advertise it. Any coin that has a constant interest rate after a period of time (most POS coins) has an infinite supply. Having an infinite supply isn't necessarily a problem. A good approach would be to calculate what happens to the coin supply after say 10-20 years.

@Developer
The last part of the formula

Block_reward = log2(difficulty) * 2^40(difficulty)

isn't clear to me. Could you explain it more clearly? Does it mean (2^40) * difficulty?

I contacted a few exchange owners and people who are developing block explorer. I'll immediately report the news.

Thank you for the notice, I mistyped. This is the valid formula

Block_reward = log₂(difficulty) * 2⁴⁰

Need to keep the estimate of the coin at a stable level. The less it falls the more we earn. Also, pumps and dumps deteriorate the image of a coin as a mean for payment. We can never avoid the exchange rate from moving but we can diminish it's impact. So we use the infinite emission to tackle So we use the infinite emission to tackle the deflation problem.

The formula of block reward is log₂(difficulty)*2^40. Ergo, the block reward increases slower than the difficulty. This ensures the Infinium-8 stability.

I don't want to do anything except see some interest in the coin. I am really thrilled with these CPU only coins and this one seems to work quite well right from the start. I think the other poster above threw out some points and they are worth discussing, and so have you guys since. An active forum is good.

The block explorer coming would be outstanding. Waiting for the news.

Be good all.

Okay, it's worth it to keep watching. The investment to get in is small, just a little juice for the CPU, and so far you have done a pretty good job with your launch.

Just one more question. Correct me if I am wrong but it seems in all the excitement of launch no one bothered to ask the first question of crypto and your OP doesn't state it that I can see. Will the block explorer show a premine/instamine? If so how large?

Crossing fingers nothing unreasonable. I can ramp up some more hash for CPU mining this coin but I don't want to spend the electricity if there is a huge premine or instamine hanging out there.


FYI for miners. I have been solo mining this for 1 1/2 days now and still finding blocks. Have 3 AMD 8 core Vishera working on it and have found about 65-70 blocks so far. Not sure how that would add up against pool mining yet but will try that tomorrow and see what is more effective.

But you *can* still solo mine this coin with relatively little hardware.


Be good.
