Topic: [ANN] FoxCoin - A Fully Dynamic Cyptocurrency [DYING] - page 17. (Read 111144 times)

I'm just watching the launch of another coin - the MAX and it's a total failure. I remember how smooth and precise and fair was the launch of FOX. This really makes some difference. So I DO believe FOX is more than alive. And even if it won't be that supported however it is a real pleasure to be a part of this truly fair community.

Dear all FoxCoin participants - loyal or not loyal,

It seems that people seem to think this coin is dying. The difficulty is below 1, pawrate below 75MH/s, etc. I must disagree. This coin has never been more alive. How is that possible you ask? X Coin has Y GH/s!

Well there is your problem. Judging a coin by the amount of pawrate and difficulty on the network is silly - why? Well think about it. Go on a forum, talk to people on IRC, whatever... ask them one question "What are you going to do with your coins" the answer 95% of the time will be "sell them when the coin peaks" or "sell them as I get them" or simply "sell them" or "dump them" - for this is the reason 95% of people dig cryptocurrencies. All they see is fiat money. But not with FoxCoin. It simply isn't profitable to dig this coin with the current prices.

So the whales (big pawers) left. And what was left was the believers, maybe a few people taking advantage of the low difficulty, but mostly us, the believers. Weather we are wrong or not, we have something that very few coins have, a diverse group of minnows with lowish paw speeds. No whales. Few pump 'n dumpers. This group is steadily increasing as the numbers trickle over, and the last of the p&d'ers leave.

So to be very honest, anybody actually worried about the lowish pawrate: your fear is unfounded. From here we innovate, promote, and get TO THE CORE!

As it's not fair to judge the success of a firm after two daysweeks, I would avoid to judge foxcoin too quickly.
Most of the altcoin I saw was: quickly mined by huge miners, quickly integrated on some good exchange places, quickly selled, quickly dead.

The time for hungry pumpers is now off. Because it's not following this standard dying process.
That means that everybody now can easily mine it (or dig it if we follow the fox terminology).
Everybody can contribute to the network, be thanked by their help, the money will be not owned by few people but with a lot of contributors. This is a really good situation for a stable economy.

What is missing now is the interface of this economy: exchange places, services.

Moreover, yes the foxcoin team is probably smaller than coins like dogecoin. It is doing less noise but I now that they work activly. This is a real difference compared to other coins where the creator writes one introduction post, and then disappear.

Difficulty is officially below 1. Seems like a dead coin..

Yeah, Cryptsy or Coinedup, whatever

Craptsy sucks. Put it up on CoinedUp.

hi, let's add FoxCoin to www.swisscex.com (new exchange, seems to be good)

I really see no reason for FoxCoin to fail. AnonyFox, any progress with Cryptsy?

It seems a little low for this GPU, even with low intensity. It's the same as with LTC. With current difficulty (which changes per block), you can get over 5 foxcoins per khash per day - a rough estimation.

You can easily set the Intensity to 19 for a 7950 GPU. It'll give you ~600 Kh/s (mine are hashing at 630 Kh/s, freq 1075/1500, 1.05V). If yours crash then set up a -thread-concurrency manually like 22400 or something. And don't forget about the correct cooling of your GPU!

I've just started mining some Fox coins as it looks like a promising currency.

Can someone confirm my expected hashrate with cgminer.

so I have a 7950 that I've got at Intensity 11 and i'm getting 170khash?  Is that right?  How many FOX per day will that earn me?

Can I put the intensity up?  anything over 13 will crash....i'm not used to these new updated scrypt coins like vertcoin and foxcoin, usually mine LTC/DOGE etc etc

you have to deactivate one CPU core

HypeCoins must die!

In all seriousness, this is the FoxCoin ANN thread. Please stay on topic.

the next ltc is Doge

So is something going to be down about this coin? Was there even a purpose? VTC is highly successful now and many are claiming it'll be the next LTC. Right now, it feels like a pump and dump, except I can't even trade it since all but one work, and that's cryptorush

I'd just like to state that I am FOR the superblocks (Let's call them.... FoxBlocks? We need a name)

EDIT: We would need to increase the deterioration of the block reward to compensate for the added FOX with FoxBlocks. Need suggestions on this

FURTHER THOUGHTS: Actually, that would be worse. It seems that the only way to do this would be to remove/increase the roof of maximum coins.

EVEN FURTHER INTO MY BRAIN: The added FOX via FoxBlocks should be compensated for in the later stages, so early adopters don't get a massive advantage... need suggestions

WELCOME TO THE MATRIX: But added coins would devalue it.... dangit. Just give suggestions on the matter

As for using the correct terminology? Personally I am AGAINST/INDIFFERENT about this. 'Herd' is a far more recognizable then 'skulk', which sounds negative - 'leash', easy to confuse with the lead - 'troop', slightly more recognizable, but younger or uninformed users may miss it entirely (or worse, confuse it with a military 'troop') - And earth? Seriously? Earth Dig? P2Earth? I just don't see that working.

EDIT: Earth Digging actually sounds kind of funny

As for pack.... I am divided on this. On one end, you have a pack dig or a herd dig (IMO, herd dig sounds better), on the other, you have 'A herd of foxes' or 'A pack of foxes'.. again, indifferent.

Either way, my opinion is exactly as it sounds, one opinion. Neither of these will be added without a solid 75%+ consensus.

Also, TorVek, join us at #foxcoin, we could have much more comprehensive conversation then we can have on BTCTalk.

Per Wikipedia, a group of foxes is referred to as a skulk, leash, troop, or earth.  I've personally heard them referred to as a pack as well, which seems appropriate since they are in the Canidae family.  Herd is usually used for prey animals rather than hunters, and I've never heard of a "herd of foxes".

Just an observation... if we are trying to appeal to fans of foxes, having the naming more accurate would likely help at the margins.

Regarding acceptance and promotion of the coin: with the huge flood of altcoins we are experiencing, Foxcoin needs multiple Unique Selling Points (USPs) to help set it apart from others, and give people a good reason to choose mining it over other coins.

The smooth downward glide path is one, and it very nicely fixes the "reward cut in half cliff" that so many coins experience as they hit those milestones.  The graphics are very nice, and the commitment that is being shown to incorporate mining information and controls directly with the wallet can serve as another, as they are fleshed out.  The Kimoto Gravity Well for adjusting difficulty is also nice, but not as unique these days.

I think we need a bit more to help establish "stickyness" for the coin.  That's part of why I proposed Fox Blocks for boosted rewards, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4846415.

AnonyFox has said that he'd consider implementing it if it received some solid feedback on the idea from the community, and having the possibility of bigger rewards popping up periodically would seem to make it more attractive, and thus easier to promote.

I haven't seen anyone post anything else in regard to the idea (good, bad or indifferent).  I've heard a lot of chatter about getting it on exchanges, but if there's not much interest in the coin itself, it's going to be that much less likely to have it added to any significant exchange.

So the best-case path from my perspective would seem to be:

1.  Make the coin and associated software as interesting/fun/attractive as we can
2.  Use the distinctive USPs of the coin (what we have now, plus stuff from point 1) to promote it.
3.  Show growth in the community, both mining and commentary, as well as on the official website.
4.  Leverage that growth in community to get more interest from more major exchanges
5.  Ride the upward spiral in interest that comes from people seeing it available on those exchanges.

Frankly, I think we're still at point 1 in the trajectory.  The low difficulty has been nice personally as a low-power miner, since there are proportionately higher rewards per day.  But if it falls much further, it may be in danger of simply collapsing or ending up with one or more 51% attacks giving the coin a major blemish on its reputation from early on.

I see lots of possibilities for this coin becoming nicely distinctive... but that calls for interest and participation from the community in MAKING it more distinctive.

Will you do your part? Perhaps starting with letting AnonyFox know what you think about the Fox Blocks idea for superblock rewards?

Thanks in advance!

Foxcoin is being overshadowed by Vertcoins.
