The public release should happen within the next 24 hours.
Are you for real?

Based on the history (or lack thereof) on your account it is going to require a fair bit of proof and most likely escrow before anyone considers paying you for a gpu miner, and then there's the safety of your .exe with regards to virus's and wallet theivery. In short don't expect a lot of sales.

[Talis]

I do not force anyone, and do not insist. exe clean without viruses.
hardly the public release should happen within the next 24 hours ^) I have my doubts in this

You really want someone to pay 1 BTC for an exe from a mewbie account?

For real?

  Hilarious.

They're going to release a gpu miner, that's a fact. it doesn't matter if it's today, or tomorrow, or even next week.

No one will pay you for it, knowing that the devs will release one anyway (for free) and also for not knowing if they will have an advantage over everyone for more then a month or so. Not even a big ass farmer..

2MH on a 280x? you do realize that that isn't that good?

Good luck with that..

[Talis]

also works on Nvidia

[ZWGuy]

I think it's obvious to most, but just in case, I'd strongly advise against buying any GPU mining code for ZiftrCoin.

Our plan is to release all the GPU stuff tonight, including Qt Wallet integration and source. It will also include kernel binaries optimized by Wolf0 (which get around 2.8 MH/s on AMD 280).

Even if we don't release tonight, which though unlikely is still possible, it won't be much longer. If someone wants ZiftrCoin (we hope you do) and has a bitcoin to spare, there are better ways to use it.

[myagui]

I will make available to any interested party a standalone ZiftrCoin GPU miner for Nvidia, for a small fee to share with the developer (which is not me). PM me for details and have 0.2 BTC at hand. I will pass along the Windows binary as well as full source.

Note: There will be public GPU miners soon, for everyone, so it's your call on such a deal being worthwhile or not. 

Happy Mining!

Edit: Damn it. ZWGuy is ruining it for me

What is the advantage of Ziftrcoin over existing 2.0 crypto coins?

Off the top of my head, these are some of the features we've added from a technical standpoint.
A unique distribution curve that doesn't heavily reward early miners.
An addition to mining we call Proof of Knowledge that rewards miners for running full nodes.
The ability to "lock up" coins so they can't be spent for a certain period of time (like our premine).
A scalable block size limit.
A "tie-breaker" system that de-incentivizes mining empty blocks and mitigates block chain branching.


Not related to the technology we also a few other advantages.
ZiftrCoin is from a real US based company with public verifiable profiles for all its employees.
We have full time developers working on the coin.
Once we have our merchant integration and shopping site fully setup, we will value the coin at $1 for 5% of the price of any purchases made.

Some nice features. Thank you.

are you kidding me sir . ahahhaha /delete

[ivcelmik]

I mine with 16 Mh/s but on suprnova appears just 5 Mh or less is other pool to mine?

[LiteBit]

Researching this right now. Can someone answer some questions?

1. OP says PoK optional. What/when does that mean?
2. Does Ziftr have a whitepaper available?

Cheers

[smolen]

Wolf0 is a superb GPU coder.  IMO he deserves the spoils of his work.  Additionally, I think you'll find that his code has benefited most every GPU miner here.  Shout out to smolen and reorder as well.  If not for these guys our GPUs might be quite useless for coin mining by now.

I was just curious as I am learning C++ and CUDA.  I've got my code talking stratum and hashing but not working correctly.  Not sure how long it will take me, if ever.  My code fu is weak.  I'm a "duct tape coder", splicing pieces from other CPU and GPU miners.  I like to compare my code to the aforementioned coders to learn.

Thank you for your warm words. The problem is I have not so much mining code to show. Most is utterly obsolete, and some is too hot. Copperlark kernel (opensourced slow kernel and held fast one for myself), Quark (published almost all OpenCL code in Smelter thread), first public Blake kernel (paid by Vorksholk), Protoshares, Sifcoin - if you need anything of this old code, PM or leave a message, I'll post link or code. WhirlpoolX miner is too new to be released now, sorry, I'm greedy with new toys

Come on guys spred some hash on coinminers pool https://ziftr.coin-miners.info/

PoK is proof of knowledge of the transactions in a block. This will give you a small bonus for running a full node - in theory. This is because when pool mining, you just hash a block header given to you by the pool. In reality, a pool that uses getblocktemplate (or even stratum, I think) can fulfill this by giving the block info to the miners at the cost of a little more bandwidth.

So when it says optional it's up to user to run a full node or not and collect reward? Makes sense. And this is up and running now?

3. How long has it been since the ICO?
4. How long was the ICO?
5. Are any merchants currently accepting Ziftr?

Thanks again.

Right, pools are supposed to turn off PoK, so that hashes without it are accepted. A pool using PoK, or a solo miner, would turn it on. No idea about the other questions, though.

We held a pre-sale throughout December through January (give or take a few days).
There aren't any merchants that accept ZiftrCoin, yet. The next few months is dedicated to further developing our payment platform and onboarding merchants.


Wolf did a good job explaining PoK. Our plans (dreams maybe) for PoK is to have it integrated into pool and mining software such that the miners are responsible for what goes into a block. The goal there is to both incentivize many nodes and mitigate 51% attacks (and other pool shenanigans). Users are then rewarded with 5% more coins for their troubles.

So why do developers or should say companies release a coin like zifter or paycoin with no merchant adoption and therefore nothing to do but watch the the ICO buyers get bored and sell off so the coin is just another old
Altcoin before anything is done and doomed before it starts.
Take a look at the price now and one big seller could take it below 0.0004 again,please get things sorted out before you release the coin not months later when its dying/dead.I bought late on in the ICO near the end and have lost about half my money just now,will sell on the next spike and except my losses
