Feeling much better, so things are starting to come together.

I still have a visit to my Dr. today... his office hasn't called, so there must not be any bad news from the last round of tests...    But, that also means they still do not know what is wrong with me... probably just getting old. 

I am doing some maintenance on my dedicated server and may end up re-initializing the whole thing, so we will be launching some of these new sites on shared hosting to begin with. As they start to grow, we will move them to a dedicated or cloud-based server. One of the sites will, most likely, need a dedicated server with supporting cloud instances before the end of the year.

Our initial goal is to grow the network. As more people enter the EMD community; mining, trading volume and price should all increase organically... instead of the huge spike we saw after the fork went into effect.

As the effects of our developments spread, the revenue from these networks will increase. The revenue will help in our future development plans, as we will be able to farm out some of the work to programmers who are better than ourselves. 

At this point, we will continue to roll out new developments and add to our network of websites to keep interest levels high and the community growing.

It's a long-term plan. But, as I have said many times before: "Anyone can create a coin. We are creating a currency."

Project Z

 

EMD Project Z Status Update:

There have been over 200,000 EMD blocks mined since the fork. Block times are running close to schedule (~20 seconds) for the first time since the inception of EMD. When some big hash does blow the difficulty way up, it takes just a few minutes for it to normalize after they bail out... instead of hours waiting for it to go down, only to be raped all over again.

The EMZ project is being worked on and there will be more details very soon. First, we need to get some other pieces of Project Z in place... which leads me to...

We will begin rolling out websites to support the growth of EMD this week. The first will be on Friday, if all goes to plan. During the next couple of weeks, there will be several websites related to or working with Emerald Crypto going live. After that point, we should see at least one new website a week added for a while.

I believe, at last count, there were 30+ websites that are being developed to be affiliated, in some way, with the Emerald Crypto project. Some of these sites will be publishers for the ad network and/or outlets to our e-publishing portal. Many will be direct portals to expand the adoption and use of EMD.

After a few of these pieces are in place (~1-2 weeks), we will begin the roll out of the EMZ project.

Exciting times are ahead for those who own EMD. As these projects start taking shape, we should be able to recapture the momentum that happened just after the fork and build it to an entirely new level.

Have any questions? Comment below, send a PM or email us at: emdcrypto [at] gmail.com

Medical??? Wouldn't that be EMT?

Health first.  Then we make wealth.

So recode your daily habits, and when rested and recovered lets rock this coin!

EMD maybe a medical coin??? Excepted by health services.  e-medical-doctors (sorry bad joke but good idea?)

New wallet (version 8.4.1) is compiled. Testing it on a couple of our systems at the moment. This is not a mandatory update. Basically just a couple of new checkpoints to help keep people on the right chain. A more feature-filled client is in the works... but that will take a bit more time.

Will get the new wallet zipped up and uploaded later this evening. Will also be updating the source on github. Should be ready to download by tomorrow, at the latest.

More coming...

We will be releasing a wallet update in the next few days. This will not be a mandatory update. The main change will be adding more checkpoints for chain security. There may be a few cosmetic changes as well. There are other wallet upgrades planned, but most will be in a release later this year.

We should also have some previews (screenshots) of some of the sites we are working on. There is a lot going on in the background that the community does not always see. But, rest assured, we are working to make EMD a better currency with the ultimate goal of building a crypto-ecosystem around it.

Talk soon...

PS: EMD is now 16 months old... quite an elder statesmen in the altcoin world. 

I am feeling somewhat better through improved diet and rest. Still have more tests to go through to find out exactly what is going on. So far everything has come back clean. Hopefully, this diet and rest thing will have me going back at full strength soon.

I have been working on a couple of things, though progress is slow (for now). I should have some project previews ready sometime next week. Will keep checking in here and try to keep you updated.

Keep mining and buying EMD!

Hi all. Just wanted to do a quick update on the progress of Project Z (and [EMZ]). Unfortunately we are experiencing some delay as our fearless leader (Gary) has been sidelined with some medical issues.

More info can be found here: http://www.emeraldcrypto.org/emd-emz-development-delays/

Because of this, we will probably not have any releases until the end of the month. We apologize for the delay, but some things just cannot be helped. If there are any programmers who want to volunteer to help us move these projects along, send us a PM with your experience, and we will get back on how you can assist us.

Been kind of quiet here lately.  Any updates?

Lots of hash power hitting the pools today! Someone is getting their EMD while it's still relatively easy to mine... More! More! More!

More information on developments, including some [EMZ] hints, coming in the next couple of days. Have been really tied up with a IRL client of mine that is keeping me from working on EMD projects, presently. This should be getting finished up today, so I will be able to devote my time to EMD.

I have been keeping a watch on the thread and signing in long enough to, at least, check my PMs. Keep mining and buying EMD... and posting to the thread on occasion wouldn't hurt, either.   I sometimes feel as if I am talking to myself on here. 

We can do more for the development of EMD if we know what the community is wanting for the currency. We have a vision for EMD, but are always open to suggestions and ideas for future development.

Who would be interested in doing a Google hangout, to learn some insider info about [EMZ]? If you are interested, send me a PM and we will get something set up to do a group hangout and share some info before it is posted here or on the website.

The idea is to get all of the pools documented to allow them to be contacted in event of a major upgrade. There were several multipools mining EMD when we did the hardfork that we could not contact because they were never listed anywhere. If know all of the pools and have their contact info, it will make the transition to any new version go smoother.

Individuals mining usually keep updated with the news on the thread. Pool OPs who are running pools for several different coins may not notice an upcoming change unless they are contacted directly.

There is another major update coming before the end of the year, so it would be good to know where all of the pools are to keep everyone on the same page.

If you are keeping track, I am solo mining my own pool.

OP and website have been updated with the latest Pool Information. If you are looking for a place to mine EMD, there are several excellent options available.

There are a few undocumented EMD pools out there, still. We have seen addresses in the block explorer (with split mining payouts) that do not correspond to any of the pools listed. We know one is a multipool that has been hitting us since before the fork. There are, at least, two others that we have noticed, also.

If you are mining on a pool not listed or are the pool op of an unlisted EMD pool; send us a PM with the URL and we will get it listed in the OP and on the official Emerald Crypto website.

  Thank You for the update
         
     
     
     

Still working... Will have an announcement by the end of this week/early next week on development progress. Many things pulling me many different directions at the moment. Lots of development work for EMD and for my IRL clients keeping me on my toes (and up late at night).

Network hash rate is lower, for now. This is an excellent time to be mining and accumulating EMD. My little miners are still hashing away. [EMZ] is only 29 days away... What is [EMZ]? Here are a few hints: 16, 24, 32.

Talk soon...

   Any New news or update on Emerald coin?  It been Quiet on the forum lately

Awesome got it working by trying the alt config posted.  I compared went back to using my original emerald.conf files and tried everything line by line.  Apparently the new client needed the port=12127 statement which I have not needed in the past with any coin I have mined.  Surprised because I would think only the rpcport=12128 would matter.  Somebody may want to verify this since its part of the .conf posted but I'm happy it is working.  I double checked  by removing it and it stopped working again for me.  Caused issues for me if miners were connected locally to the wallet pc or from a remote laptop.  Now it's all working.  Thanks again!!

Nothing has changed with the ports. The only changes were the hard fork to add DGW3, an Open SSL update, new checkpoints added and a few icon changes to the QT. There have been several people soloing successfully with the new client since it was released.

If you have a copy of the emerald.conf file you used previously, compare it to the one you are using above. The only difference should be the addnodes.

Or you can try this slightly different version which a user PM'd to me as the emerald.conf they have been using successfully:

listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
rpcuser=x
rpcpassword=x
