*** NEW VERSION RELEASED. MANDATORY UPDATE. ***






Hi, I'm almightyruler, and I've just revived CAGE. The network died about 2 months ago because of a flawed difficulty retargeting algorithm, and has been stuck at a high and very unprofitable difficulty since then. I've updated the client to use a more reliable per-block retargeting algorithm, so we can finally get back to mining!

Download:

Windows QT client: http://www.almightycoins.org/cagecoin/download/cagecoin-qt.exe

Source code: https://www.dropbox.com/s/764o8rz3llbi7eb/cagecoin-0.7.0-src.zip


Simply copy (or compile) this version over the old one. It is compatible with the existing wallet and blockchain database.

If you're a first time user, then on Windows all you need to do is run cagecoin-qt.exe. The client will set up the necessary databases.

Important: If you have had your old CAGE client running any time in the past 24 hours, you should delete peers.dat before starting the new client.

Features of the new version:

- Blockchain preserved. All previously mined blocks and transactions remain valid.
- Difficulty algorithm changed to per-block retargeting past block 156042, to avoid network getting stuck again
- Two seed nodes brought online, so clients can sync without needing any configuration (no need to mess with addnode)
- Peer finding via IRC improved
- Checkpoints added
- Fair relaunch (no instamine)

This is a HARD FORK, so you will not be able to mine, transact, or do anything useful unless you use this version.

Note about fair relaunch: the first 2880 blocks (approximately 48 hours) after the fork each have a reward of exactly 1 CAGE. This is to allow the network to reach equilibrium without people instamining and benefiting from the very low difficulty on the way up. After 2880 blocks, the rewards will return to normal amounts (currently random 0 to 500000 CAGE)

Since this is a relaunch I don't have any premine or instamine funds. Please consider donating for my time: DkCQGZ2qaDbxGSj18BkKrkfcFs1McicH1h

Specifications:

Algorithm: scrypt
Block time: 60 seconds
Difficulty retarget: every block
(original retarget was every 4 hours, which is what stalled the network)
Maximum supply: 100 billion CAGE
Reward block 1-100000: random 0 to 1000000 CAGE
Reward block 100001-200000: random 0 to 500000 CAGE
Reward block 200001-300000: random 0 to 250000 CAGE
Reward block 300001-400000: random 0 to 125000 CAGE
Reward block 400001-500000: random 0 to 62500 CAGE
Reward block 500001-600000: random 0 to 31250 CAGE
Reward block 600001 and on: fixed 10000 CAGE

We badly need a pool so that people don't have to fool around with solo mining. I don't have any CAGE at all, so perhaps someone else with a decent balance could offer a bounty?

Right now you could mine it with a CPU, since you'd be pretty much the only one, but due to the fair relaunch code you won't really make anything. Smiley

Have just read that coinedup have installed the new daemon. You should now be able to withdraw your CAGE!

I have a small amount of hash going (a single 5 chip gridseed @370kh/s) to confirm transactions.

In just under 24 hours the network will start minting normal reward blocks again, so get your miners ready. Cheesy

This coins was very dead. Why do you revive it?

Couple of reasons.

1. The coin died due to a technical issue (flawed retargeting setting difficulty impossibly high after a major hash increase) rather than people just abandoning it.

2. People had balances at coinedup that could not be withdrawn, because the network was not minting blocks.

Why not re-brand? I know this coin from around the beginning of the year. It wasn't very popular then, what makes you think it'll attract investors now?
