1 million coin premine Huh

With another 500 Blocks for the day, to feed the insta mine....

Hydro, you trashed every single one alt coin. What's your favorite one now? DGC? apparently you hate gldcoin, lol Grin

there's no instamining, the block time is on par thanks to the accelerated diff targeting. You can't prevent people with big hash power to get more, in a fair way.

As I told you, no one is forcing you to mine this coin, if you don't like it, so be it. Trashing every single alt coin does not help you, only making you a joker here.

Pretty sure you launched coin number 4 for the day, so, you don't actually think you'll be taken seriously, do you? What are you people not understanding here? Doesn't matter if your coin is actually good, at this time, it will be perceived as a joke.

I just don't see this coin going anywhere. What does it have going for it besides being "new" and how long will that last?

yes, that is good practice and should defeat it. Too bad encrypted wallets are not the default.

A few thoughts for ya before you jump on the next altcoin:

It would be trivial to post source code without the trojan, but yet put it into the binaries. (.exe, etc). Most people do not bother to compile I wager.
A trojan of this type would not be recognized by virus checkers. All it needs to do is read your .coinX.conf to get rpcuser and rpcpassword, then issue call sendtoaddress via RPC API
If an author doesn't care about his rep, he could even post the source with trojan. Most people do not do a diff, so by the time people started discovering it, he has already made bank and abandoned the forum account

to my knowledge this hasn't happened yet, but it seems very likely. From looking at the diff, i can see just how easy it is to create an altcoin.

If I were a blackhat and was going to do this, I would have it check every possible directory for coin config files, which would even include bitcoin and litecoin and all alt-coins past/future.

So be careful folks.

usually when source code posted, I feel secured. I never using client without the source code posted. Also always check the download client with a virus detector. This one seems fine, my Norton did not say anything.

1hr and 20 minutes later.... I got paid... 2.8 ALFs
Oh F... and I just found a block. (500 ALFs for the pool)
I knew it was going to happen.

don't worry, this morning I mined 2 mins, see no update, and left. later I saw I was credited 34 ALFs. I think that 2.8 ALFs could be the first few shares you get from the block you joined in the end, next payout should be bigger.

The fact that source is posted, doesn't mean the Binaries are safe Tongue

I was going to attach a full diff from the litecoin source, but I don't see any way to on this forum.

I would encourage anyone running these clones to always do a diff first, review, and then build from source. These things could easily contain a trojan that would steal any other coins you might have mined on the same machine. Another good practice is to run in a separate VM or chroot jail and be sure to use different rpc pw for each coin.

Anyway, I didn't see anything suspicious in the diff for this one in a quick 5 minute review.

here is the quote for the genesis block.

"June 8, 2013, 12:58 AM JetBlue Airways Corp. says a Florida-bound plane was diverted to Newark International Airport in New Jersey after being struck by lightning"

We've just had three blocks pay out in a row (3299, 3308 & 3309)...

...followed by three confirmed blocks with no payout (3317, 3319 & 3322).

3337 & 3339 just paid out.

What's going on here?

need ethought to check this... he's not online.

I see the pool waits 120 confirmations, so it's like 1 hr? that's the min time you need to wait for a payout. Of course within 1 hr after you stop, you still get pays.

Pool has started finding blocks come join the mining at:

http://alpha.miningpool.co

We are missing payouts for blocks 3206, 3234 & 3263. It actually looks like the pool is only paying out every other found block.

Also block 3213 I was there for the full round putting up 20% of the pools hash power and got 13 coins. Maybe I still don't get how PPLNS works but this seems a bit..shit.

Something's wrong, I think.
40+ minutes hashing, and didn't receive a single pay.

I don't get pay yet, don't know how many confirmations needed before the payment made. But I do see I have a bunch of unpaid shares. If you have valid unpaid shares, and they are increasing, it should be fine.

In some other pools, sometimes I get paid only like 1.5 hrs mining, but of course, if I stop mining, I will still get paid for a while, there's delays that pool want make sure the coins are paid.
