Topic: [ANN] GME | GameCoin - Unofficial fork and Windows QT Client. - page 7. (Read 23820 times)
I guess tyrion70 forgot to update the block explorer/pool with the new code. You should stick with solo mining until tyrion70 updates to the new code on his pool.
Looks like not enough people updated their client...
We have passed Fork block, my client is showing the new proper difficulty however the blockchain is still extending on the old fork according to the block explorer http://gme.p2pool.nl/chain/Gamecoins
Anyone who hasn't updated their client, coins mined after 25200 will likely disappear.

Nice to see the new client with proper retargets getting closer to the fork.
Also nice to see the added hash rate being put into this coin.
Just waiting for more uses of the coin besides the slot machine and single game of blackjack (still waiting on splits, doubles, insurance, and instant dealer win if they have blackjack)
An exchange would be nice, not so people will dump. Rather it could raise awareness that this coin that was once dead, has been revived and doing well for the time being with support.

I'll just be happy when the client isn't constantly trying to make me use the Litecoin blockchain (after the hard fork). Deleting peers.dat is getting old.
Just ignore it if it displays that it's downloading the litecoin blockchain. It won't attempt to download it because of the checkpoints. It's merely a display inconsistency.
Hopefully as you say it should be a thing of the past once we hard fork in 957 blocks.
On the plus side we're down to a 0.0994472 difficulty for the final leg.

I've not been mining it myself to give others a chance but I may jump onboard to help us hit block 24192 where the difficulty will come down further.
I'm mining this for a few hours every day. Strange there are so few people mining this at this low diff!
Good work guys. Keep it up!
I hardly have any of this coin. But its nice to see it being revived with an active support.

bump!
OK guys we have a hard fork in place which will take place at block 25200 which is 2189 blocks away at the time I type this. (Halfway between the next 2 difficulty adjust points under the original code). As we're currently on a 0.127671 difficulty and still not meeting the 2.5 minute target I expect the difficulty to go down at block 24192 for the final leg towards block 25200.
What does this hard fork change?
This hard fork took inspiration from the recent hard fork to Mincoin which in recent days has proved very effective at keeping the difficulty at an appropriate value for the network to ensure blocks are solved at or around the target timeframe consistantly.
Once you are running the new version of GameCoin, from block 25200 the difficulty will be evaluated once every 48 blocks. This should be around once every 2 hours after the difficulty stabilizes for the size of the network. Also the difficulty will come down 4 times faster than it rises so this should ensure that we're not at too high a difficulty for too long in the event we get flash miners targeting the coin.

I'm keeping an eye on this thread so I'll be ready to install the update!
Difficulty is down to .12 now. Should be a bit more friendly to mine...

Also I'd love for it to have some tangible use outside of gambling, with a name like GameCoin it could be used for selling games online so I'm going to look into setting up a payment API like that used on bitchain.info where it forwards the payment from a temporary address to the users own address for a minimal fee. I'm pretty sure I could come up with a service like this.
Maybe Petr1fied knows a few things already.
I want to wait for the hard fork after the coin is actually stable. The difficulty needs to be adjusted more quickly. We need to establish a base for use other than gambling. Maybe an in-game currency like FaceBook Credits.
And if anyone knows about alt-coins, BrewCrewFan is also high on the list. Take heed on what these main posters in this topic have to say.
Furthermore, I find it hard to believe that you care about this coin at all; 18 pages in this post and you started on page 16. If I view your previous posts they include nearly every alt coin there is.
If you really want to bring value to this coin make a post and start giving away the GME in your wallet since they seem to be burning a hole in your computer.

if i wanted to dump, even on cryptsy, the kinds of volume i have would empty all the buy orders. but the things is people look at 3 things when they mine now, 1) coinchoose ratings, 2) difficulty 3) cryptsy price.
you have none of the above, worse this coins looses miners everyday. inactivity will kill this coin.
even if this coin went to exchange in two years, i'd still have my 150k, i'd dump it in a day and still it would crash.
i support all idea backed altcoins, this is one of them. i'd hate to see it fail because you guys think it's different. it's a alt coin, let it do what alt coins do. phenix nearly died if it wasn't for our pushing it on to market. if this coin has value it will show it at market. not on google docs exchange were people rob each other blind.

hello there, well i'll start by saying hi and welcome to the alt coin section. Here we try and make our way by mining alt coins, some better than others.
I'm a miner, trader and developer + part time troll. I'm not a scammer and i believe in fair trade. oh yeah and i'm alt-coin rich

Yeah, I'm getting out of the slot machine business as soon as We complete our other services and I come up with some other "game-ish" way to distribute GameCoins to the masses. I'm considering maybe buying up a couple Steam codes or something and selling them for GME.
An important thing to remember is that value isn't only determined by how easy it is to obtain a coin, but also what it can actually be used for. Most "successful" alts obtain value once they hit an exchange, because at that point they can be exchanged for money and/or BTC. If there were not only games distributing coins, but also accepting them as payment, this would increase appeal.
I'm working on an easy-to-implement payment system that will make it easy for users to make deposits/purchases with GME and any other coin in their alt-co.in wallet. Hopefully stuff like this will get more developers on board with alt-coins, meaning more purchases for end-users, and more desirability for all supported coins.
In the mean time, if anyone's got a game or anything that they need help integrating with GameCoin, give me a shout and I'll see if I can assist.
In other news, we're going ahead with the difficulty fork in the next couple days. It will be set to kick in after a thousand blocks or so, that way there's a bit of wiggle room as far as updating clients and daemons.
for linux users, when this coin came out, we considered putting games in a repository and charging GMC to get the games. But we can't do that unless we know this coin is going somewhere, we use usd in our everyday life, i need to know how much each GMC is worth then i can safely set a price. I'm not talking out of my ass, and if you were on phenix, then u'd know i' m the one who pro actively bashed cryptsy for adding it too early. Better you let the dumpers do their thing, then in all that chaos, a price is formulated, service providers will then have a marker to use.
This coin, beacuse of it's name has quite the applications, but you have to put it out there. ya'llz ywanna hold? go ahead, it'll die like the others. .

Only people that seem to want the exchange are those that wanna dump.
How about we let the devs work on getting other things established first? I know some of you are just itching to get it on the market so you can cash out and never be heard from again...
Sorry seen this with just about every coin. People only want to dump the coin and move on to the next best alt.

My point is BBQ stayed alive for how long?
No need for an exchange for now. When we get the base on what this coin is for then sure... look at PXC... they got the shit going before the exchange. Its doing very well. Thats because they already has shit in place... for this coin there is nothing yet.

Everyone thinks this is dead coin so everyone will just dump this coin. Wait for an exchange until the revive is complete!
you'll join elacoin in a week, guaranteed.
