Hi All,
I've been quite busy lately, but have just updated a few links that were previously posted here to the website: http://emeraldcoin.info/

Please check it out and let me know if the links and wallets are functioning correctly.


I was reading that the DMD guys (Cryptonit) would be interested in merge mining EMD, and yet some aren't happy with that,
it's tempting though as this coin could do with some committed devs,...


Other than this a few people have been emailing me at [email protected]
and so I know there is a growing support for this coin -


What needs to be done? if someone could write out a complete list of what is needed to get EMD into a credible state, then perhaps a dev can take over the coin and we can secure a new announcement page and lock this one up. Plus then take the coin forward with some marketing strategies....

(please note: I am not a dev, I just host the new website and update it irregularly.. )


If no Dev steps forward over the coming month I propose we turn EMD over to the Diamond team.

I cannot get the wallet to sync. Does anybody here have an up-to-date list of addnodes?

Network hashrate is about 5 to 7 times higher than normal.  Go Emerald!

I'm just one of many voices here, but I would vote no.  Even though a full time dev team would be a great addition, I think what you're proposing would cause a lot of turmoil on a coin that's working fine and continues to hold its value well.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it...  However, I'm pretty sure Krugercoin is in need of a dev team, and it's a very similar coin.  I don't think the dev hasn't posted since mid March.  Deposits and withdrawals on Cryptsy are on hold pending a response from the developer.  It's loosing value, but there is continued community interest.  That coin needs a dev team.

An argument could be made that maybe POS could be added to it to increase it's value a little, but it's a great coin to mine as-is, so going with a high POS reward, or switching to 100% POS like Philosopherstone is contemplating would make mining it worthless.  Why mine 100 or 200 Emeralds a day when you can just buy a mess of them and sit back and collect minting rewards?  Is anyone still mining ZEIT?  No, because it's pointless.  But I'm not selling mine, because just leaving it in my wallet collects far more per month than I could mine in a year.

Maybe adding a small POS component, like 10% per year, would be a good idea to prevent a 51% attack, but more than that would change the coin too much.


Your idea about POS is a good idea. Look at other coins, they are switching to POS or at least adding it. The coins should be spent, not mined Smiley if we want the coins to be the virtual currency of course and not to be a hobbystic collecting great but worthless blocks of hash Smiley I've been a fan of this coin, don't know why but I like it. But now seems it's dying, and trade on Cryptsy will not save it. I think that some quality changes should be done to make it more attractive.

That's my thoughts.

I have setup a temporary and fully working block-explorer for EMD at http://dutchpool.org:2751
Of course you are also welcome to mine using the p2pool at http://dutchpool.org:25228
And one additional pool for those that prefer a central pool at http://emd.dutchpool.org

Pretty defensive.  Easy m0gliE.  I didn't mean to offend you.  In fact, I said "not slamming m0gliE, I don't know him."

I'm glad you fixed his issue.  And I'm glad it was just a typo in a config file or bat file.  I guess it usually is.  A number of coins are having blockchain/sync issues lately - Diamond, Fastcoin, Philosopherstone, and Krugercoin in particular, but there are others.  Some have worked themselves out, others persist.  I really wanted to mine some KGC this morning, but I can't sync and I didn't have time to figure out why yet.

With a number of coins having issues, it's probably best to stick to what the dev(s) released if possible.  And downloading a blockchain is inconvenient, but really not that big a deal most of the time.  Downloading a forked blockchain, on the other hand, is a problem, particularly if too many people do it, or for a smaller coin like Emerald, if more than a couple people do it.  I'm not saying yours is bad, but why risk it to save maybe 4 1/2 hours, when you can just mine something else in the meanwhile?

As far as the wallet download, it's on the new website, and it works.  It would be nice if there was a link to the website in post 1, but there isn't.  I think it's on page 33.

the current wallet posted a few posts back does not work for solo mining. for me anyway

Use the one you can download from http://emeraldcoin.info/emd-pools/ hosted on Mega.  I believe that's our semi-official website for now.  It's the one I'm using and it works fine.  I think I'd stay away from wallets and block chains individual users post, unless you're really confident in the person (are they active and an authority in that particular coin's community.)  They can cause problems.  And it really doesn't take that long to download a block chain.  Maybe a day or so at worst, unless the coin has problems.  It's worth making sure you get the right one.

I'm pretty sure m0gliE has exactly 2 posts in this thread, one was the block chain and the other was the one you indicated with links to his wallet.  Not slamming m0gliE, I don't know him, just words of caution.  He's not a regular here.

Hey, I resolved his problem, he was trying to solo mine and was using port 12128 instead of default rpcport=12328.

"well shit there we go, wrong port number all along. Thx dude"

thanks for the low blow, the amount of posts hardly speak for what is conducted on IRC.

All I did was provide the links because there weren't any working at the time.

I also created the emerald bootstrap.dat to help those who had problems syncing. It's not a personal zipped up copy of blk*.dat's you copy/pasta.

Join me on IRC if you'd like to talk more.
