1.5 hours... ready to mine..

No problem.

No there really is no risk.

The missing files aren't standard between coins.  Even if someone was able to some how rewrite all the code (which they couldn't do anyway), the seed node will not be live until launch time anyway.   So, even if it compiled fully, if they started mining they'd be on a fork and none  of their  coins would count anyway.

This was just an attempt to do something a little different with a launch that increases fairness.   There is always a risk in attempting something new.  But I figure each coin ought to try something new and hopefully other launches will follow suit.

Those of you who have launched with us before know we're reliable and always up quick.

1% fee, PPLNS, Vardiff, Fast server, responsive admin.

Sorry for not advertising with a flashy, gigantic spam post.   

Btw, thanks for having an OS X wallet up front. It's so frustrating dealing with windows-only launches and not have to mess around with github.

Excited for launch... just received my antminer u1 and ready to dominate

Ok, this is for all you linux guys and pool  operators that are going to pull the GitHub files.  This should assist you in a speedier release if you want to do it.

Windows and Mac will just need the wallets and the password we'll release at launch time.

But, here goes.  At launch time full GitHub  source will be released, but the  idea here it to allow anyone with a slower compile time to help speed them up pre-launch.

If your not absolutely sure what we're describing below, I'd suggest simply waiting until fully released and compiling the way you've done in the past.

[WARNING: This is only for people who understand git, how to compile coins, etc. This is not for beginners or the faint of heart!

We heard from a few people, and pool operators, that getting the source early would assist them. We also know that it'll be late in Europe, so for anyone waking up, this should let you get back to sleep quicker. We can't release the full source, for reasons previously stated, but our developers got together and decided that we could release "most" of it early minus a few critical files. This should allow people to pre-compile a good portion of the source, and cut down on the compilation time required. At launch time this evening, we'll post the missing files.

We aren't aware of any other coins doing this, so this very well may be a first -- and something we hope to see in the future. We're entirely in favor of fair launches, and we do believe a fair launch should include those who may not have the worlds fastest machines, limited bandwidth, etc.

So to that end, about 98% of the source has been posted to:

http://github.com/bonuscoin/bonuscoin - NOTE full release files will NOT be there until launch time.

Anyone with enough knowledge is welcome to clone the source and start partial compilation now. The code will compile up to the point where it requires one of the missing files and stop. So when errors get thrown out -- don't freak out -- it's supposed to break. At launch time, anyone who has chosen to use this method will need to pull the missing files to their clone and finish the build.

The exact amount of time this will save will vary depending on your setups, but it should shave down the time some. When we said we wanted your feedback and we're listening to it, we meant it.

Keep it coming!

Launch in ~3 hours!

I will go solo with my 10.2 GHS

I'm planning to jump on http://bonus.hashing.at/

I assume your talking about an S1.  just set up your bonus pool as pool #1 and your normal pool as 2.  The bonus pool wll be dead will launch and it'll mine on your normal pool then once bonus opens the gates the pool will come alive and your ant will automatically switch

hi
the file in archive is one(for windows), that means needs installation

is there a wallet without installation needed?

thanks

How can i configure my Antminer with "failover-only" ..

Thanks. We're running MPOS like all other pools but modified to support a single login for all coins and the interface is fully customized as well.

Yes, that's possible.  But, we won't let it happen.

There are many reasons, but the main point now is simply to get a fair launch.  No one can get the wallet until it is released fully to everyone. 

And we're going to make this as fair as we can.  We want a solid launch.

Just about 4 hours to go!

I may not understand this correctly, but from what I've pieced together about cryptocurrencies, wouldn't an early release possibly cause a lot of forks that would need to be resolved? I won't pretend that I understand forks with any detail, but if I was mining my own chain with my ANT miner and you were mining with your miner, when the launch occurred wouldn't there  be two (or more) chains that would need to merge into a single chain?

Cool.  I was just wondering.  I had a feeling it had to do with mining but I've never solo mined so I didn't know what part the wallet has in mining.  Also never mined a coin from the very start.

Great blog.  Thanks for sharing.  

The wallet can connect to the seed node and allow for mining.  So, if you have the wallet (which is the daemon for the miner) you  can begin mining as well.  So, wallets are locked until release time. 

You can download the zip and we'll simply post the password to them at release time.  Didn't want everyone wasting their time downloading at the last minute.  Also, I think it's also more fair this way as anyone with any connection speed can be ready at launch waiting for the Password to be posted to the main page.
