Topic: [ANN] AIRcoin - page 24. (Read 137309 times)

This should cause a bit of concern as far as infringement goes... unless of course, they are actually using Aircoins...

This is certainly interesting, although I do not think it involves the Aircoin that we are familiar with:

Guys, they did say approx 2 weeks. We should have an update by the weekend

I just noticed that they have not even updated the announcement page to reflect there new stance on not posting to the thread. I can't seem to find a FAQ section of the website either. I am starting to think that even if they come back with some great plan and enthusiasm, that they are absorbing an unnecessary loss of respect from every person that visits this thread. Seems to be terrible business practice. Updating the announcement page explaining why they are not participating in the thread for the time being seems to be the least they can do. While I tried to voice my opinion that some of the vitriol being tossed was going to be counterproductive by shaking everyone's resolve, devs included, what is taking place now seems extremely amateurish and I hope they can provide some updates to the announcement page to at least leave the impression that they care. 

Partially luck... Partially (did you stay long enough to have full PPLNS), (Was the pool PPLNS setup right? For correct reward?)

Also note... You do not submit "shares" to your wallet, when solo-mining, you only submit "finds". Thus, that makes it a little faster, as you are not stopping to "submit a share", every few seconds to a distant server.

Also, try setting workload to 64 not 256, you finish work faster, and thus, check it faster and submit it faster, before a "new block" resets your workload. Also, you are finishing faster, so you get reset faster, to start on new work. Longer workloads have to finish before being submitted or reset.

I have found that most polls are not setup right. Seems the "default settings" are not actually the settings that are set. (Just had that issue fixed on air.carbonshark.com where it is operating a lot better now.)

The pools that are not setup right, have blocks where only a few miners even get credit for the work. (Usually on super-fast blocks. You will see only like 4 users got credit, the finder actually gets less credit, since his SHARE was the found block. Thus, cutting that reward out from the rest of the miners who could not submit shares into that block fast enough. Essentially making other miners only get about 50%-75% of the estimated reward, while that "winner" who had the most shares in that short-block, got essentially 300% more than they should have. Which, by the way, will never average-out per user.)

The issue is in the PPLNS settings, it says one thing is default "on", but actually is not default "on", it is "off" by default. (Not 100% sure what the setting was, as I do not operate the pool where the issue was resolved. I just pointed it out, and he resolved it.)

You will have a lucky day, and three unlucky days, then a lucky day, then three unlucky days... It goes in waves like that. (Like hitting three blocks in a row in a pool, by the same users over and over. It is not actually truly random for finding blocks, just nearly impossible to predict the pseudo-random "winner" in advance, for a block.)

In steady difficulty, you will have the same average as a pool, solo-mining. However, as difficulty constantly changes, you are battling luck v.s. reward, which will never average-out, in the long-run. Diff will rise again, as it is still rising slowly day by day. (Which is better for the coin, as a whole.)

ping should be 0ms when you solomine...Best way to think of it is that your wallet is the pool. But it's probably more to do with luck than anything.

Okay I'm entering the arena of speculation...
It's not a game to them but more of a strategy. Obviously if you were important to the future plans you would be kept informed. Since you are not in the loop I would assume you (The miner, the current investor) are not an important part of the new roll out, whatever it may be. I would also think  the crashing price is of the moment not a concern. Maybe they are using the low value to repurchase as many coins as possible for the new kickoff. I don't know the reason but by inaction assume a low coin price is important to them. I do believe they are actively working towards a new coin and wish to bring in a NEW market of investors.
I do believe the best you can do is to hold and hold tight to the coins you have. I know others on this site must believe the same as I see their names mining away at high hash rates and talking of buying more AIR with each new low. Buy low sell high right? That's what I'm trying to do at least.

Now I have a newbie question I solomine more AIR with my crappy, crappy 200 kh GPU than I do with the pools at this current difficlty. Is this just luck or is it because I live less than 30 miles from their servers in Chicago and have less latency?

Exactly. There are many ways to interpret some of the questionable decisions that have been made by the devs on this coin both positive and negative but the decision to cut off communication can't possibly be interpreted with a positive spin, it makes no sense and can only do harm to the community and coins' (and devs') reputation. We need to know they haven't abandoned us, we need to know what is being done to improve the current situation, what's the road map what's the timescale WTF is going on before this relatively small community loses interest altogether.

I'm considering buying some more air but its really hard to justify that deicision with no contact from the team whatsoever. Price seems to drop daily also. Gonna be hard for the team to recover from this considering bitcointalk is currently the only face aircoin has and  the dev's have up and dissapeared.

Seems they've updated the home page slightly but that doesn't give me much hope.

I didn't suggest I can't afford to hold them, as stated I I've covered my costs so my wallet contents stand me at zero cost. I just didn't expect the coin to go so far backwards and the devs go stealth on us.No cheap coins from me I'm afraid.

As stated before by the devs, if you can't afford to hold your coins, then best option is to sell.

Any official news from the A-Team??? I was always going to be long term in this coin since it seemed to have massive potential but I'm Kinda starting to wish I'd dumped at 0.0027 and not just sold a handful to cover costs. 

For all you solo-miners, still looking to get-in early on a decent volume of coins, the boat has not sailed...

Though, pools are still the better choice at the moment.

We could still use some decent spare miners and hashing-power on the AIR.CarbonShark.com pool. The more steady miners we have, the more value will climb. (Real value, not dump-value.)

The faster we get the dumpers gone, the better. Most dumpers/hoppers have left, there is not much dump-value left to consume. (I am prepared to eat most of that still.)

P.S. That is not "my pool"... I just mine there.

More like end of the month and people need to cash out to pay for electricity

...something is brewing

24-hour Volume: 3.36513033 BTC / 15927.19065502 AIR

Aircointeam:

"We have postponed DGW and the wallet update indefinitely. "

I've been a bit of a critic of this coin (in some aspects) but I've started buying some the last day or so.
I'm interested in how the plan to implement DGW and X11 is going.
Does anyone know?

I don't think TeamAirCoin are quite out of this yet.

I keep seeing 0.2 BTC buys show up 1-3 orders down from the top of the buy list, trying to prop up the price.  Volume is low enough now, that less than 0.2 BTC or less can buy up the market price by 50% at pretty much any given time.  I see this happening - sell price gets down to 0.00015ish, some "big" (big=0.2btc) buys come up and snatch up all the sell orders, bringing the price back up to 0.00024ish.

I am guessing Alexander and his team are refining/testing their trading bots now, where they can do so with far less BTC/AIR to risk, since the trade volume is so low.  I will keep my miners on AIR for another week probably, if there is no news here from TeamAirCoin, I will assume this coin to be done.

Announcing the "failure" may have been a fallback mechanism for them, to reduce trading volume, where they could slowly build up more BTC reserves and "relaunch" with better results.

Or I could be completely full of shit . . . just speculating

The problem I see with a hard fork, dev lockout, is that it relieves the original devs of their responsibility to the coin. Why should any of us have to clean up their mess? The real solution is for the devs to fix the issues. A last resort would be to take over the coin. Does anybody want that responsibility? What would that entail? Does it just become anycoin at that point? I know the AIRcoin team has stated that this forum would not be responded to, but maybe they need to break that promise as well.

P.S. Still mining, and buying low. Might as well, in for a penny and all...

Hmm, considering you currently hold a huge percentage of the whole (non-premined) AirCoins and the hashrate, it would indeed be a possibility for you to hardfork it...

Anything interesting happening?
