I'm feeling kind of sickly today and may just be stupid or lost or both but I can't figure out how to get the windows client. I went here

Code:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0f2VDPOrXt4dzk1dzNzb3F5bmc/edit?usp=sharing

and tried to download each file separately but it gives me a 404 error? Can someone please point me to a regular download or explain how to get those files from that google docs page? Thanks much in advance and sorry to be a nuisance. Just a bit medicated today and not thinking properly I think. lol

Turns out I need a version for linux to run my site properly. WINE doesn't feel like working with either gamecoind.exe or gamecoin-qt.exe...

I'll see if I can convert it myself, but I'd like someone else to try as well.

Could someone please help out with this? My server doesn't feel like compiling the files...

Can't say I've ever tried compiling on linux but it should be the same as for litecoin with the exception you're using the github linked in the first post. Maybe try this:

https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php?topic=43.0

Hope you figure it out. Cheesy

Thank you Petr1fied!

compiling takes more ram than I have. I'll see what I can do about upgrading.

IMPORTANT: Active GameCoiners Please Listen!

It's been suggested we alter the difficulty adjustment algorith for GameCoin. This would mean the the difficulty would adjust more frequently, allowing the coin to remain stable and active even if the hashrate drops significantly, as the network will respond and drop the difficulty much sooner. our difficulty adjustment would be over 20 times more frequent than it is now.

The downside is that changing the difficulty algorithm causes a hard fork in the blockchain: Those users who upgrade their clients to the new algorithm and those who do not.
So, I need to know what the active GameCoiners all think about this, because our nodes essentially form the core network for GameCoin at this point, and we need to all be in agreement before anything is done.

So guys, what do we do?

With this hard fork thing... does that mean all coins mined right now would become pretty much... dust?

No I don't think so. Your old coins from the original blockchain will just be transferred onto the fork, and still be usable.

Good good. I dont have many ..actually this is the only coins I have been able to get a lot of ...that is 8 k LOL. I was wondering when dif would go down cuz even now the 1 dif is labor for Nvidia cards of mine

Yeah, all blocks before the fork are identical on both sides of the fork.
But people who don't upgrade are going to be on the wrong side of the fork, and any coins they mine after that point won't be seen as valid by the rest of the network (except to other users who haven't upgraded)

Good thinking. Should advertise it properly.

Nice to see this orphan coin has found a home.

But if we can get Tyrion on board to compile the new Windows QT then I'll increase the difficulty adjustment frequency and get this coin stable.

I'm sure he'll agree, I'll happily send another 10K GME his way if he recompiles it.

Maybe you could do something with the litecoin contamination too? If block 1 != the hash of block 1 from the checkpoint force close their client with an error message telling them to delete everything but wallet.dat?

I'm in. Anything that will bring the difficulty down faster is a good thing and it's not like we exactly have that much support on the current chain anyway. I'm finding 2 out of every 3 blocks at the moment with just 1.8 Mhash/s.

@litelord: I'm not so sure lowering the block reward is a good idea as those of us who have been mining it from the beginning will have been getting 1000 per block and those coming to it in future would get much less for their efforts. This will just create a negative vibe against the coin.

1.8 Mhash? Well I was mining nibble coins for a bit, here ya go, 4.5 Mhash of my mining power back to the gamecoin network, lets try and get this difficulty adjustment to happen. Once my other rig gets fixed from ncix, you should see 6Mhash of mining power from me later today or tommorrow

well drop it to 32 or so for block adjustments, while keeping everything else the same.
This should fix most of the issues.

I have to agree. And the name is really the only feature of this coin that made it worth salvaging anyways, so that's likely to stay.

But if we can get Tyrion on board to compile the new Windows QT then I'll increase the difficulty adjustment frequency and get this coin stable.

Agreed, we should drop it to like every 64 Blocks, or even 32 Blocks for difficulty adjustments.
I was thinking a fork and decreasing Gamecoin blocks to 250 each, to make them a tiny bit more scare,
and a drop from where it is at to like 24 Million coins. With 125>62>31>15>7>3 block halfings.
Making 125 in like 1000 blocks from now, etc.

I was thinking of a name potential change as well, Like Global Coins, or World Marks, maybe Taler Coins.
Something that would bring more popularity.
