[ANN][XCN] Cryptonite | 1st mini-blockchain coin | M7 PoW | No Premine

[AizenSou]

Right... go ahead, reduce the coins to 2 million, have them all mined within a week, premine it to the shit, but it's not a scam because you have a GPU miner available at launch. If we wanted to make a nice healthy return on the immense amount of effort we put into this coin we would have simply premined it, and it was a very hard decision to go with no premine because I've spent a lot of money out of my own pocket on this coin. In all honestly we could have done a rather large premine like MOST coins do and people wouldn't be complaining as much as they are about having no GPU miner at launch. Whoever has that huge amount of hashing power might have created their own private GPU miner but we have no damn GPU miner, but catia has been working on one for the last few days and it should be available soon. You guys have no appreciation of anything we've done here and I'm sick of it. Go create your own fork of Cryptonite because I can't stand to listen to your whining any more.

Calm down bitfreak. People in crypto nowadays are mostly just teenager and greedy. If you listen to all of you, you must kill yourself first. You have done a great job, everything else is secondary.

I cant sync my wallet, i am stuck on "Downloading headers - 5 days behind - 5789 block"...
Maybe there is somewhere in the thread about this problem i have but it is damn to long to read/search and i just hooped onto this coin...

EDIT: 103 active connections, (0 in / 103 out) and still stuck... Not downloading anything after 5789 blocks...

You have outgoing connections so I don't think it could be firewall issues, but maybe check just in case. Few things to try if doesn't come good after a few minutes: make sure you're running latest revision and try running -resync or just delete your data folder (make a backup of it first if you have any coins).

You should really add info on how to add nodes to the op under the usage section, people are asking everyday and this coin is probably losing a ton of would be miners who can't be bothered with a coin that doesn't work out of the box.

information is classified for now, but do yourself a favor and use Intel processors, AMD's are great for GPU bridge for standard mining, this coin here for me is theoretical exercise although I used my setup to mine primecoin (riecoin too) very successfully early in the days (too late now) also cloud farms but here be warned as it is unprofitable also press your local law enforcement cyber division to dismantle bot nets not just for the sake of crypto coins 

Not bad. I tweaked the miner and reached 760kh/s on my CPU. i7-4770k.

Aww.  Decided to poke a little.  I'm at 510kh/s on an i7-4790.  (not k;  up from about 400 default).

I should poke at the pool miner instead, it's probably less of a hassle to play with.

Heh, I'm not competing. I spent less than an hour toying with it.

Also, 1GH's miner is better than the stock one.

Yeah.  Just spotted that.

580 -> 645.

I'm not actually competing either - I'm taking off on vacation pretty soon and my limited work time is devoted to real job emergency handling.  Just wanted to poke around in it since you hinted that it had low hanging fruit.

this coin needs a relaunch, with a different/better name and different algorithm, maybe cryptonite algo from cryptonote coins.(since gpu there is 1:1 with cpu), as its pretty obvious that this coin has had a GPU miner/s from launch.

Similar to doomcoin only worse , at least with doom the released the GPU miners relatively soon and fairly to all people who read the forum and also on the main thread
these a$holes refuse to release the miner until what they have the 90% of the supply ?  Screw this coin lol.

[PeaMine]

Is there a calculator for XCN?
Or what would be the formula to find it manually?

I deleted my quote after reading that within 3 months, the coins mined at launch will only be 1% of the coin supply and within a year, less than 0.05% . So it's not really bad.

The first day's mining will be very close to 1% after 100 days, but the mining on this coin has been messed up for a week (and is still messed up, maybe messed up even more now). Who believes that the hash rate has naturally grown to 6 billion from less than half that over the past 1-2 days while the price has dropped by more than half?

A week's mining will be about 7% after 100 days, not 1%, and who knows how long it will be until there is anything resembling a level playing field.

And I don't think small time miners / hobbyists mine at all - simply because they can't find blocks.

Thank you for the excellent breakdown! I'd like to raise an issue apart from the specs, however, that's currently presenting a real challenge for this coin, which is the fallout from yesterday's failure to meet most people's expectation of a Bittrex add. Clearly, it's placed downward pressure on price.

As this turn of events was so surprising to so many of us, I'd like to solicit input, particularly from the developer, as to why this occurred, and what steps are being taken to get the coin onto Bittrex.

Thanks.

Bittrex is a cess-pit of pump and dump scamcoins. Adding this coin to Bittrex will not make its value suddenly increase.

[...] Who believes that the hash rate has naturally grown to 6 billion from less than half that over the past 1-2 days while the price has dropped by more than half?

FWIW: There was a bug with 1GH (the only pool available so far), which was causing effective hashrate for every worker to be 35% to 50% of what it should have been. The pool was effectively wasting hash for all the miners connected by not updating work units correctly. When reorder posted about a fix on their thread, the nethash started a speedy climb to what it is now (with 1GH @90% of nethash within a couple of hours).
I was using a few AWS instances at the time, and could see my hashrate nearly tripled within a few minutes.

A half decent GPU miner has been created:
https://github.com/MiniblockchainProject/CudaMiner

There are several things to keep in mind 1) it is designed to work with 700 series nVidia cards but should work on 400 series cards if you change the make file 2) for now you will have to compile the GPU miner yourself for various reasons, we will try to post pre-compiled binaries when they become available.

See github project page for more information about usage and compiling.

I get that, but page 58 =/= First post and it says nothing about nodes.  I myself have it figured out, I'm saying at a glance for new users it's not easy to find.  There's a difference between keeping the main post clean and leaving out information needlessly.

+1 (although cpu phase been fun)


bitfreak, how come you call it "half decent"? low preformance, stability issues or anything else?

[marada]

Whoever has that huge amount of hashing power might have created their own private GPU miner but we have no damn GPU miner, but catia has been working on one for the last few days and it should be available soon.

Is it the one just released?
Any hope for ATI/AMD?
