It made it stronger, due to the extra attention.

Just opened our new LOT pool with 0% pool fee!!!

PPLNS
Stratum support
VARDIFF
Strong EU server with SSD

I'm not shure if all this alt-coin have added value compared to the "original" bitcoin ...

hahaha

The NSA mining dogecoin, there's a thought. Perhaps it wouldn't be smart to waste resources on it, the more they tried the more other coins would pop up. Look at the marketcap of top 20 alts below from coinmarketcap. The top 20 alts add up to 3,894,217 at the moment versus Bitcoin 12,236,125 BTC. To dominate the markets they would they not have to fight a rising tide of popularity that they might have helped to create? (edit, this list below isn't quite relevant as it includes coins you can't directly mine).

As many experts believe, Altcoins are the best laboratory for new features to BTC.

True Altcoins can experiment with things that BTC needs, without disrupting the original blockchain.

Beta coins, on the other hand, will build upon existing BTC protocol and bring "zero trust arbitration" to many other aspects of our lives (e.g., proof of existence, copywrite, contracts laws, mortgage laws, DNA, etc.).

Andreas Antonopolous said, "Changing BTC core protocol is like like repairing a jetliner while in flight."

Altcoins sell things that BTC currently doesn't provide.  But that doesn't necessarily mean BTC dev s cannot , or will not, incorporate in the future...

Greatest symbiotic example is Litecoin (the silver to BTC's gold).

I'm striving here to go back to a method of exchange that is more fair.  Jerky seems like a better way to exchange.  Just like the ancient tribes of history.  Trading jerky for blankets or whatever..  I was layed off work last month by a greedy/control freak partner in a we BBQ had together..   So I decided to start this up. Hopefully it works or I have to look for another job working for the man next month or so.  I just made almost 100 bags last week of the three flavors listed on this site.  I compiled the WWW.JERKYCOIN.COM blockchain in the summer with a friend.

I have been mining it off and on with a single silver block eruptor for the last six months.  I have a couple of million coins I want to giveaway with jerky purchases.  So if you are interested  order some jerky and I will send you 5,000 (JKY) jerkycoins.  Hell I could be dead tommarrow.  Anyone who downloads the client gets 500 (JKY)  Send over the addresses...

Simply download the client and send me the receive address.

Depending on how this goes?  I will determine a fair amount of jerkycoins it will take to get a bag of jerky in the future.

An exchange would be helpful to determine a collective market price!  But if not we will figure something out that is fair for everyone involved...

I will give away large blocks of coins  to people who make jerky or own a jerky company.  So if you know anyone?  Tell them to contact me. Start Smokin some jerkycoins today!

Regards Tom.  [email protected]  Thanks for checking this out.  I  accept bitcoin, litecoin,  bbqcoin  and everything else that coinpayments.net processes which is a bunch including doge.  Doge like jerky haha..

So get shopping at the jerky shop ^^^^ at top..

Catch-phrase for pzTime: It's the Jerky Standard of exchange....

We currently have a windows QT.

Will post the source in github asap. OSX installer files asap.

 

Getting Started:

1. Start up jerkycoin.exe, wait for it to load, then exit.
2. Put jerkycoin.conf (see sample file below) in your c:/users/**yourcomputername**/AppData/Roaming/jerkycoin
3. restart jerkycoin-qt, and you should connect and sync.
4. For solo mining, remember it's localhost and port number and begin mining.

Sample jerkycoin.conf:
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
rpcuser=***rpcuser***
rpcpassword=***rpcpassword***
rpcport=31561
addnode=home.bown.net

Solo mining only at this time:  ( I make jerky not mining pools)
- setup jerkycoin.conf in %appdata%/jerkycoin
- Make sure jerkycoin.conf info is the same as your miner's configuration.
- I use bfgminer, minerd, cgminer and guiminer to solo mine.

"url" :" http://localhost:31561"

"user" : " your info"

"pass" : " your pass"

"pool-priority" : "0"

USBstart.bat

bfgminer.exe -G - S erupter: all

PAUSE

I feel like coingen is even more of a joke though. Who wants to pay someone to modify and lock up an open source fork?

I think  Alt-coins are dead..... http://coingen.io/   
Hopefully there is a reversion to the current coins and more strict exchange listing!

Just give it some time, it was just released yesterday.
It will be interesting to see how that coin does after all the media hype and stuff.

Did any other noobs get on the Coinye release yesterday. My first mining attempt and I managed to score a small haul. How do I offload them now? No exchanges I know of have them listed.

why can't more coin wallets have built in miners like argentum. I have mined 1800arc  on my pc in less than a month.  I got a great idea for a new coin called Pyratecoyn. to make it popular with the merchants let transaction volume generate extra coins the top fifth get 5 percent on coins sent and another 5 percent coins received next 5th 4 next 3 ect.  rewarding merchants for using coin. even allow a sort of banking the extra coin generated could be used to pay interest to escrow and depositors

Yea, "altcoins medness" is good words to describe situation now.

bit OT, did namecoin died?

Lots of promising coins on coinwarz: http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency

rpc imo

doge
