[KOBO] Kobocoin - Mobile Money for Africa

[TheTribesman]

Seemingly a stupid question: but what miner can we use to mine for this coin? Can we use our BitCoin hardware miners for this?

Check here:

Another issue:

Seems nothing is working on port 5057?

Dude, the coin isn't launched yet...  

Also, for sgminer, there are more than one editions. Most of them working with the argument "-k bitblock" or "-algorithm bitblock"

Yes, I use -k bitblock. Or "alogrithm" : "bitblock" when I'm using a conf file.

Last night I had a very strange dream: I was on Kobocoin's World Conference and Thetribesman was the speaker. Forum was full of geeks and investors.

I don't remember what he was talking about, but he seems serious and excited

Yeah... was very Steve Ballmer's style xD

Well I'll make sure the aircon's at full blast at the next Kobocoin World Conference then. Much hot air!

Update:

Exchanges where KOBO can be traded soon after launch:
https://btcpool.exchange/
https://yobit.net/

I've also contacted the other exchanges.

Unfortunately the Android wallet will not be available for launch (it's being rebuilt). I'm hoping it'll be available from Wednesday 11th Feb (or sooner). This doesn't affect PoW. Apologies to anyone who was hoping to use the Android wallet on launch. I was hoping to be using one, but these things happen.

I've also submitted the code for re-verification by Coins Source. I'm hoping to hear back from them later today.

[TheTribesman]

We're looking good for C-CEX next week (thanks for voting)



 

[TheTribesman]

Kobocoin windows wallet (on my offline PC). Windows, Linux and Mac wallets will all be available at launch

Ready for Saturday 07:00 GMT (London)
The launch will be held live on twitter only - @kobocoindev

[TheTribesman]

I've been in touch with Coins Source regarding re-verification. They've said that they don't re-check the code but I can get a community member to do this. I'm happy for a community member to check the code (as everyone will be able to do at launch), but I'm not prepared to release the source code before launch.

The new block explorer still hasn't come online yet. I'm hoping it'll be online later today.

[TheTribesman]

The block explorer has now been updated.

12 hours

[TheTribesman]

when will be the launch?

In about 13 hrs time. Saturday 7th February at 07:00 GMT (London, UK). Launch is going to be held on twitter. Goto @kobocoindev twitter feed at that time for links to wallets and source code.

True... I live in Spain and never remember in UK is 1 hour more :p

In other order of things... Best way of GPU mining? I tried pool's help way and seems it's not working well. CPU mining connects perfectly (in the way is not allowed yet)

I haven't yet tried the pool software so I can't really comment. I use sgminer 5.1.

It's working fine for me, aside from the not actually mining part (this is on a rig that's even crappier than Bubba  ):

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer.exe -k bitblock -o stratum+tcp://kobo.suprnova.cc:5057 -u xxx -p xxx -I xx --worksize 64 -g x --no-submit-stale

Crappier than Bubba? You sure? I'm just praying Bubba has 10 blocks worth of mining left in him.

[dukeneptun]

Is here any premine? Or IPO?

If not, I´m in.

No premine, no ICO, no IPO. Check my sig for launch details.

Haha.  Well, the Belafonte (that's what she's called) still runs, but her hashrate is pretty modest at the best of times.

Now that GPU mining has more or less jumped the shark, I like how every time there's a launch the veterans haul out their old warhorses for one last charge into battle.  It lends the whole thing a dramatic dignity that very nearly makes up for the lack of profit....
