Finexbox is fine, by the way..they were very quick

good question..i have over a million FRED on FineBox.

Any news if Tradesatoshi is going to update the wallet? Did Finexbox even update the wallet yet?

energy coin, with POW 

Attention!!!!! Core upgrade !!!

We are moving to the CN turtle algorithm at block 125,000 (approx 8 days) to give us more reinforcement against ASIC attacks.
With the upgrade there is also a fix for the transaction extra size which should prevent oversized blocks and network bloat.

Please update to the latest release ready for the fork, anything earlier than v0.10.0 will soon be cut off from the network;
https://github.com/fredenrg/FRED/releases/tag/v0.13.0

Pools!!!,

I have forked plenteum's cryptonote pool which is based on the dvandal cryptonote-nodejs-pool and is pretty much what we are using now but with CN turtle support and will auto switch to the new algo when the time comes. It should integrate with your current redis DB assuming the same naming conventions are used. (Note: I had to use node 8.11.3)
Leave the following as set; "daemonType": "plenteum", "cnAlgorithm": "cryptonight-turtle-lite","cnVariant": 2,"cnBlobType": 2,

https://github.com/fredenrg/cryptonote-nodejs-pool

We are now listed on https://fcbaccount.com. It is a new exchange with lots of features that will appeal to many and a growing number of new and established coins are being added daily.

is there a channel in the Telegram?

List of FRED mining pools with live stats & hashrate distribution

https://miningpoolstats.stream/fred

yes now fred can be traded on https://bitebtc.com/trade/fred_btc, the price is too low but this might be influenced by the market price that is still red, if the market price returns to green then the fred will reach a fairly expensive price. now you can buy and sell your coins there now if you have some Fred in your wallet.

Trading on bitebtc now

We are pleased to add another exchange to our portfolio,
FRED is now listed on BiteBTC with BTC pair https://bitebtc.com/trade/fred_btc




More news to follow regarding project updates

Looks good project..

It's quite easy to call something a scam without taking the time to look at what we are aiming to achieve.
It is hard to see where you think we are scamming, Promoting alternate energy generation, Creating a global directory of alternate energy distributors, suppliers and installers, Create partnerships with inventors and Fund Research into Energy Devices.
We are NOT a token ICO raising millions in funding based on hype, we have a 7% premine of coins that will be used solely for the project, where is the scam?
Yes we mention exploring the possibilities of free energy and free energy is a term often used but has different meanings depending on the context. We are interested in any device that can save or generate energy and one of these areas is the generation of electricity by use of magnets and free electrons. The inventors and engineers who are developing these devices come across the same issues of being called scams, some clearly are fake but others have spent a lot of time and resources in their developments, there is no payback without a working model so who are they trying to scam, where is the payback?

So in answer to you post, No we are not a scam, scams are conducted by people without morals and compassion and I as the founder certainly do not fall into that category.
We are in it for the long term and you will see we are not a scam.

It's just another CryptoNight scam coin.  There's a new one every week.

---

It's funny how every scam coin has several posts like this in their threads that always sound the same from people that just joined bitcointalk.

---

Guys, the fact that they even acknowledge the possibility of "free energy" should tell you they are not only scammers but they are stupid scammers.

Come on.  If you really want to give away your money at least give it to me, I will put it to good use.

We are not completely charitable, as I mentioned in a previous post "By Funding Research into Energy Devices (FRED) we would also be looking to form some sort of partnership with the technology developers we fund. Being part of a new era of energy generation devices would bring massive benefits to investors of our project.
There are lots of other plans being worked on and several are included in the whitepaper that will bring value to the investor.
We want to promote alternative energy generation at the consumer level but we are fully aware that an investor requires a return."

Yes it is a bad time just now in crypto but we will carry on promoting, looking for investment and growing our community and see where it goes.
Thanks for your comment and interest.

Hard fork due on Friday, for those still using the CLI daemons please update to the latest version to avoid any issues https://github.com/fredenrg/FRED/releases/tag/0.3.0, GUI wallets should function as normal, Get your GPU's and CPU's ready, more information can be found on our blog http://fredenergy.org/2018/12/03/fred-welcomes-gpu-and-cpu-mining-cn-lite-v7/ , now everyone can mine FRED!

---

Reminder about the upcoming hard fork tomorrow at block 55000 where we will be switching to CN-Lite V7

I've seen a lot of projects like yours. It's painful to watch, but all charity projects attract very little funding. Do you have an opportunity to contact the financial center? Because the market is very bad and unstable.

You must be using an old release, latest are here for CLI https://github.com/fredenrg/FRED/releases
and GUI wallets are here https://github.com/fredenrg/FRED-Nest/releases

not sure how you ended up at an old release as I thought all links were updated

---

Perhaps we need to make this a little clearer in our Ann, By Funding Research into Energy Devices (FRED) we would also be looking to form some sort of partnership with the technology developers we fund. Being part of a new era of energy generation devices would bring massive benefits to investors of our project.
There are lots of other plans being worked on and several are included in the whitepaper that will bring value to the investor.
We want to promote alternative energy generation at the consumer level but we are fully aware that an investor requires a return.

Thanks for making us aware we need to spell this out more clearly.

---

We are moving to CN-lite V7 at block 55,000 which will be around 4 days time. This will end ASIC mining of FRED and allow GPU and CPU mining creating a level playing field.
Current pools are http://fredcoinpool.com/
and http://youpool.io/FRED/#
We welcome your support

Will the project's mission only be to promote research into the development of new technology in energy production? Being scientific research, what will be the profitability of this project?

We are still on Cryptonight Original until block 100,000 low fees on our pool http://fredcoinpool.com/

Tradesatoshi are working on listing issues and hopefully this will be rectified soon.

When will we be listed on a new trading platform 

I was one of the first to mine this coin and my overall my enthusiasm keeps growing.  Finally, there is a coin with a purpose and a vision!  Thank you.  Different forms of energy is a real need so I love the idea behind the coin. I think it is smart that the team is looking to develop strong relationships with engineers and the scientific community as a whole.   The developer has been response and is clearly passionate, which is essential to a coin's success in my opinion.  The community keeps growing.  I'm in for the long haul.  This one is an investment for the future.

I've watched fred since the beginning
I think it's growing faster than I thought and the listing of exchange was faster
Developers have excellent communication and answers
The road map shows the progress
I am looking forward to it

Is that our problem? NO!
As discussed on our discord TradeSatoshi have an issue beyond our control, they are dealing with it. They announced our listing not us.
We were waiting to make sure everything was working before announcing the listing.
You are complaining in the wrong place!

Just released the initial draft whitepaper

Update 27/12/18 Now removed to avoid confusion

Made a few changes the the initial draft and changed the title to be less controversial  

New update http://fredenergy.org/whitepaper/20181227_FREDEnergy_Accelerating_Alternative_Energy_Generation_By_The_Consumer.pdf


We are still working on the exchange side of things

Thanks for the feedback, yes we are always looking for contributors to the project. We unfortunately don't have the funds to hire as yet especially with the cost of exchange listings. Anyone who would like to contribute can message us on Discord https://discord.gg/uhAjg9w

Papers now look much better than before and that's great. Well done that fixed it. We are waiting for the stock exchanges and the most important thing is to have normal turnover because simply being on the lists will not give anything. Are you planning to hire additional people for your team?

Great, thanks very much!

Alternative energy should be created for the benefit of many people, with the simplicity of use it will help people to be interested in using this alternative energy, as well as the need for major socialization to announce this project worthy of use in the future

This is an excellent answer, and even on a gentleman's did not go into the criticism of other projects. Keep it up. At the expense of white paper and external advisers for the project when roughly do you plan to add them? Simply without them, large investors will not even look towards the project.

Sorry for the delay in answering.
While similar ICO's are also looking to bring new energy devices to the consumer, we are looking at the bigger picture.
Growing populations, industrialization of emerging economies and the adoption of electric vehicles will move us into a new era of energy requirements.
The new era will be electricity focused and as the demand increases so will the price. Without giving too much away (until the whitepaper is released), in addition to funding research into energy devices, we aim to promote alternative energy generation at the consumer level.

Alternative energy is an area where the public is concerned. The project has interesting ideas and attracted the community. In the information about the project, I see you pay attention to the charge "dedicated to energy equipment project financing". Humanitarian project are not? If you are a humanitarian project, do you intend to increase the rate for sponsoring energy equipment? Investors will be interested in how much money you will spend on developing technology, community, marketing, team ...?

If you check our pool getting started page http://fredcoinpool.com/#getting_started there are various flavours of XMR which should do the job. Your antivirus may flag these as malicious, we are not associated with the XMR miner and many are using it, however, as with all software downloads we cannot guarantee if they are or not malicious.

Great-looking OP. I'm gonna ask you the question that you probably expect – what's the biggest difference between you and similar ICOs?

Teslacoin is actually a good project and not dissimilar to ours. We are aiming to promote the adoption of alternative energy and hopefully fund research into energy devices that could one day become mainstream. Free energy research is also part of our agenda and is not a myth, Google it and take the blinkers off.

It is a very good question. Many of the cryptonight original coins have moved to V7 due to ASIC attacks and whilst we are aware of the implications of such an attack we decided it would be a good opportunity to get the ASIC miners on-board and help get our project established. The thinking behind this is that there isn't a great deal of coins to mine with Cryptonight ASIC's right now and a new coin with possibilities could be viewed as more attractive.
To level the playing field and mitigate the risks associated with ASIC mining of our coin, a move to V7 sometime in the future was agreed and is currently set at approximately 1 year's time. The reward will be less but not that much, it is currently at 7100 FRED and will be approx 5500 FRED at the change.

Hopefully our explanation will not upset either party.

We would also like to say thanks for all the constructive comments and criticism so far, as they are helping in a positive way.

The initial draft of our whitepaper will hopefully be ready beginning of next week with applications to exchanges.

Why do you mention the useless crypto that exists from 2014 and didn't achieve anything rather than describing your own? Maybe you can clarify How exactly FRED is connected to alternative energy sector or will be connected? If you open thread here, you should be ready to answer questions, no matter tough ones or "When ICO, sir" type.
And one more thing, you don't need to have a token "to fund alternative and free energy projects". What does it even mean free energy projects? Where did you see free energy?

Hi,


Can I ask what the thought behind starting with cryptonight (orig) then changing to v7 at specified block?

I just had a look at your site and pool (its an interesting idea after all) and did throw some 1080ti on it, but its like spitting in the ocean...

So just trying to get my head round this as my thinking is ASICS are grabbing all the coin now, then GPU get a look in but have much lower block reward, but at least ASICS have gone at change to V7

so I guess my question is why?


Thanks and sorry if this is a newbie question, but I am in fact a newb

Hi!
This coin is produced only by the ASICs, or is it possible to have low power - video cards? I have 2 cards - 1070ti and 1060.

Which miner is better to use for mining cards?

res

Waiting for white paper.

I also think the same as you, I see very little information about the project, how to get decent funds if the information is limited

"Cryptonight Original" the one that can be mined using ASICs?

ok ty very much, ill keep on mining

You can mine with anything as long as you are on the correct algorithm (Cryptonight Original) and a port that supports your share rate. The system does not discriminate between ASIC and graphics cards. Ensure you are on cryptonight original, try port 7777 and if no luck send me a pm with you address on discord.

i mined with a 1080ti on 5555. so graphics cards are not alloed at youre pool?

now its working again

The pool will automatically ban IP's that are submitting shares on a low difficulty, most ASICS should be on port 7777. Try again on a higher diff. what are you using to mine?

i mined for about an hour, then i got the notification that my ip is banned. i then reconnected with a now ip and it worked again for a few moments. now i get the error code that that i could not connect couse i have no the rights for a socket. the mining server is online so you obv banned me.

Can you tell me why? everything worked fine till then

Yes 7% is quite low and the initial plan was for 15%, but we didn't want to give the wrong impression (and yes the premine will only be used for energy device projects) hence we are also welcoming donations. We have several solid ideas and plans that will be highlighted in the whitepaper, and hopefully our vision of promoting alternative and the possibility of free energy will be better received. We will be doing bounties and perhaps a faucet within the next week with the funds coming from the coins we mined during testing.

maximum of unusual coins of 8 billion and 80 million, it seems that the allocation of 80 million has been set and planned for something, is it for airdrop allocations or something? but it's not a bad idea to follow a thread

You have a very low goal for such projects. 7% is this a real numbers guys?
On the one hand it shows well that you are not trying to make money on the project. On the other hand, you may simply have a shortage of money for development with time and this is very, very bad if you didnt have your alt to sale.
Are you planning any bounties in your project? For promotion and for recognizability it was needed.

The idea is similar to Teslacoin. We are aiming to fund alternative and free energy projects and therefore, FRED could be classed as a social charity project. The whitepaper is being worked on and this project, we believe has more of a purpose than 85% of the tokens/coins currently being hyped with large marketing campaigns.
We are not proposing to take over the current payment systems, health care, gaming industry or the internet.

I read on the website that this freedenergy project is looking forward to donations for development costs, marketing costs, core network costs and other costs. sounds weird, does this include a social project or a charity project?

So how this coin is connected with alternative energy sector? There is no any details, no whitepaper, no any energy solutions on rodmap. Assess viable energy projects for funding in Q3 2019, what is this even mean? Why do you I need this coin, what is the use-case?
