Topic: [ANN] HarambeCoin (HMBC) Initial Release - #bitsoutforharambe - page 2. (Read 3507 times)

why didn't you post a link to this thread in your pre-ann thread? why didn't you update your github? it looks like you don't really give a hoot about your project at all. i was following your pre-ann thread for about a month and i just found out a few days ago about the release of the coin. i kept my eyes on that thread and the github page. this is really a lost opportunity, your pretty much wasted the "harambecoin" with a poorly-made project

I don't know who is more scary between the two mates...

Already released when this thread was started. You can grab the wallet/source from the initial post.

@DecentralizeEconomics 

when is the release date?

Okay so a couple pretty big updates that I want to announce. First of all the biggest issue was with mining/lack of pools. I had a p2pool node running with limited success so for now I no longer have it running. I do intend to update at least the subsidy function in my fork of the p2pool repo  if anyone is interested in running it down the road, can be found here: https://github.com/harambe-dev/p2pool

That aside, I have an actual pool setup for what I assume to be the vast majority of people that are trying to mine. The pool is www.harambepool.com and there's no need to sign up, just set the username of your miner to your harambecoin address and use any password. Vardiff port is 4444, or stratum+tcp://harambepool.com:4444
Let me know if anyone has any issues, although I've been testing it for a few days now with none to speak of. Also you can view the getting started page as there are a few additional ports configured for static difficulties.

Next, we have member bitsOut joining the team - he's been working on getting the harambecoin website up and running and will be handling social media and some of the announcements so expect to start seeing more on the communication front. For now, he'll be receiving 10k of the 100k HMBC Bounties - I'll post details of the Bounty Account address and details of the transaction once everything is done. Just a reminder that we're still looking for members to be a part of the team or even just the community so come and get involved anyway you can!

As a final smaller note, now that things are up and moving I finally have time to start reworking the code so expect more updates and a new version with an osx binary coming out in the near future.

I've mining this coin. Will wait for exchange. Good luck for your project

Don't worry, Harambecoin is alive and well  . Seriously, I do apologize for not being more active posting on the forum and promoting harambecoin in general, but that's because I've been focused on setting up things on the backend and making sure that the network is running/targeting okay which it looks like it has been as far as I can tell.

Also, I feel like p2pool hasn't really been working (or at least has been touch and go) - the repo I posted does work and I have successfully mined blocks with my gpu's pointed at the node I advertised, however, I started hitting issues yesterday where my miners either weren't connecting or weren't getting work properly - it's possible that it has something to do with the fact that the difficulty is so low still because of how new harambecoin is coupled with the fact that I probably set the share time too low for p2pool which might be causing shares having a way too low calculated difficulty to generate sufficient work.. Anyway, I'll probably attempt to update that although I think I may just put together a standard MPOS backed pool - looking forward I feel like as soon as people take notice and the hashrate spikes again solo mining for most of us becomes virtually impossible so I've been looking into that.

Over the next week or so I think you should see a lot more going on so for everyone running harambecoin, hang in there a little longer.

Silence Anybody alive here?

I've been running 600Mhash most of the day... so far up to 4k HarambeCoin Bits out!

Well this is definitely an understatement considering the network is at ~400Mhash already. I know that number might not be mind blowing by many standards but I'm amazed how quickly that rose in such a short period. So just maybe a nod to some of the pools out there, might want to give harambecoin a thought 

Anyway, I spent a little time messing with p2pool and I have my fingers crossed that I set it up correctly, but it seems like everything is working at the moment. I know it's not the greatest solution, but I think it should at least be a decent short-term solution for people looking to mine some harambecoins. For anyone considering it that has the capability, running your own p2pool node right now would be extremely helpful so that the network can actually support some legitimate mining. You can find a modified version with code added for the harambecoin network here:

https://github.com/harambe-dev/p2pool

It's set up to (hopefully) work exactly how it would for litecoin - compile the scrypt module and then run: python run_p2pool.py --net harambecoin -a
There are more detailed instructions that are included in the readme. Another thing to note is that the default worker port is 53000.

If you just are looking for a pool to use, you can point your miner at my node:

stratum+tcp://45.63.22.60:53000/

with your address as the username and anything as a password.

Enjoy!!!

need more pools

LMAO at this one!! 

any update?

Hi sir, you want a portuguese translation?
Pm me if you need this.

All the best to your project.

Can we staking some HarambeCoin in windows wallet?

Hey everyone, thanks for all the responses and judging by how quick the hashrate is rising I think harambecoin is off to a good start  .

So as far as people asking about the team: so far it's me and the mighty spirit of the great harambe. Hopefully a few people will get involved once this project picks up but I wouldn't underestimate harambe either...

olkah: exchange? relax bro, it hasn't even been 24 hours. Honestly if I somehow had this set up to instantly be able to get rid of them the day they came out, I would expect everyone to be at least slightly suspicious...

As to the understandable question of "what's the point?", let me do my best to give a quick answer. Since I started getting involved in cryptocurrency and subsequently watched as many others have come and gone, I feel for the people who do get interested there's an overwhelming desire to contribute and be a part of some of these projects. That said, bitcoin and some of the other major cryptocurrencies have groups of extremely talented developers already working and I think it makes it unfortunately a little bit too daunting for the average person who isn't as experienced in this to actually be able to contribute. I think there are a lot of really good ideas that ultimately get missed as a result so harambecoin is hopefully a project that could be an interesting incubator to try something new.

Also, I feel another thing holding cryptocurrency back from being more widely known and accepted/used is the simple fact that its too complicated for most people. I understand that it's going to be quite some time before something like bitcoin is considered mainstream, but it's amazing to me how many people I meet who have still never even heard of it. So for example something like Ethereum (et al.) which is an immense and impressive undertaking that's being worked on by some very smart people is helping on one end of the spectrum to improve the technology behind this type of code, I feel that there's just as much a need for projects like harambecoin to try to make cryptocurrency a bit more friendly and fun as opposed to more complicated.

tekyboy: Thanks for setting that up so fast, I haven't had a chance to test it but when I get some free time later I'll try mining on it for a little bit. That said I only have about 3Mhash of power so it might not be comparable for people pushing serious numbers.

On that note I may still try to run a p2pool node for now - seems relatively easy to configure except I may have to mess with the share targeting a little to avoid a high % of stale shares.

tekyboy often network problems! Bad pool for rent miner equipment

Good luck dev! Hope you can do something interesting

i hope dev can introduce who's behind this project since many coin got introduced and became pnd coin and in the long run the coin die by itself it is really needed for us whos looking for opportunity to know who's behind the project and what are there capabilities to make the project worthy in the long term. good luck dev.
