Have people compiled this without any problems? https://github.com/elacoin/elacoin

It compiles and creates the client but when I start it crashes/closes instantly. I get these warnings during compiling but it finishes seemingly ok.

main.cpp:3354: warning: 'unsigned int ScanHash_CryptoPP(char*, char*, char*, char*, unsigned int&)' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]

net.cpp:-1: In function 'void ThreadDNSAddressSeed2(void*)':

net.cpp:1189: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits]

miningpage.cpp:-1: In member function 'void MiningPage::minerStarted()':

miningpage.cpp:233: warning: suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous 'else' [-Wparentheses]

And this is Qt Creators output when it tries to start the wallet.

"sni-qt/4634" WARN 11:13:17.688 void StatusNotifierItemFactory::connectToSnw() Invalid interface to SNW_SERVICE

The program has unexpectedly finished.

Read the posts! It won't run until the start time because there is no genesis block yet!

So judging by the first post solo mining would be retarded unless you have a gpu farm. The more hashing power you have the higher the reward per block will be. So to get the most out of your hash you would actually need to join a pool. Am I right on this?

wtf milkshake...what was up with that post

That is correct, but I do have a 30GH/s ASIC from BFL mining, and I received it as a freebie.

No kill-a-watt (they measure power consumption right?), I'll post pics later for the blog post when I've written it up and measured long term performance / stability.

I don't mind the power consumption, BFL is covering electricity bills too.

Milkshake, please, pay attention to this post.

Would be much-much better, if you post all clients/wallets 5-10 minutes before first genesis block starts. This will made impossible to have a distinct advantage of you as a creator and all your group of friends. Because if you start genesis block and write a message with links to wallets/clients - when others prepare their systems to mine you and your company will dig as a crazys because of no competitors to you.
Another important detail to others - is peer/nodes distribution. As i seen on all previous coins for that week - first nnnnn blocks are hard to mine by community because of lags, even that peoples have a very large hashpower. Starting blocks and difficulty makes huge hashpower useless against lags. So you need to start nodes all around the world to be the honest (i suppose that downloaded and started wallets in prepare-mode will be enough to make net of distributed peers).

First - give others mining instruments/clients, second - give others the opportunity to compete in equal conditions, third - launch genesis block.
Then your coin can be successful. In opposite - this coin will be as others dump&pump&die-coins.
Good luck.

PS: i think i will be out of competition because of other side of planet and too big pings (55-300ms). It's fatal.

Genesis block hash must be included in wallet binary, so there is no way to "post all clients/wallets 5-10 minutes before first genesis block starts".

I think the point people are making is that he could make all code/binaries open for code review etc. with or without testnet-genesis block if he wanted to. The more I think about it, the more it seems like a (fairly smart) scam. Having a set release time would guarantee 100s if not 1000s of downloads before anyone have peer-reviewed the code and should the code contain intelligently written wallet stealers or/and keyloggers/trojans chances are he would make out like a bandit in just a few minutes.

Yes, but basically everyone complained that linux binaries were coming out before windows for all the other altcoins. Now they are all available including a miner at once, yet people are still complaining. The code is already available on Github.

Only 3 hours left. Who is ready?

Me, me! I am going to blindly download anything that get put up on the site, double click the exe's as fast as my mouse can (no time to scan anything, lose too much precious mining time), and have all my wallets open at the same time so I can make trades with all my new found riches rolling in.....

I don't trust anyone. Compile your own binaries from the source. I'll post a guide in a few.

hmmmm I think people are saying it's a scam

People say things all the time. If you based your trades on the BTC-E chatbox you would be broke right now.
Just look at the source code below you run anything and decide for yourself.

Who has used this pool?

http://elc. hackshardgaming. net. Like the ltc pool there? Are these passwords assumed comprised as well?

just trying to understand this could this coin be solo mined or no? Does one need a pool?

what are you saying it's a scam?

Yeah I believe it can be solo mined. It just nice to have pool support right off the bat.

Milkshare can also release the correctly compiled binaries with the genesis block hours before the launch in encrypted form (rar, gpg, whatever). He can give the password at launch time. This way nodes are already configured and good to go. Hell, pools could be setup and waiting to unwrap their daemons to attach to pushpool. It's sad nobody does this

Netcoin is doing this for its release.
