How do I get the password to read the article on http://bitsofnews.net/ ?

the writing is probably in progress. we just got a small preview of what will come. you won't need a password when the article is finished.

btw. great idea to help the coin stabilize. i think real growth and prive movement is just coming with a bigger userbase but till this dividend program there wasn't a reason to stake for most users. i'm staking all my coins anyway, hope you all do the same Wink

opal has such a great base of developments. it just will take some time. people are so brainwashed with all these pnd. coins getting released, abused and killed in less than 2 weeks. waiting for a month is like a lifetime in crypto Wink

would also like to know if opaltkn is affected by this in any kind

Oh, ok, thank you

Hello Nemanja, Here is the article:

Opal Announces Revolutionary Dividends Program
Los Angeles, California – April 10, 2015 – Whit Jack

In addition to its unique set of features, Opal announced today a revolutionary system of dividends
simply for holding the coin.
Opal today announced a system of revenue generating sites, the first one being bitsofnews.net, that
will have all revenue generated go back to Opal users through dividend payments. This serves as
both an incentive for users to hold Opal, as well as holding them in their local wallets and cold
storage.
Opal believes that this will help create incentives for users to try out the coin, and will also encour-
age long term holding, because in addition to staking interest, there will be a steady flow of revenue
generating sites.
Opal is structured on a no premine, no ICO, no IPO basis, all funding and expenses are covered by
the development team. It is because of this approach the team believes they can take Opal to the
pinnacle of innovation. They firmly believe in customer and investor feedback and welcome this to
further cement Opal’s position in real world adoption.

Thanks Voidlord

Opalcoin is now a Proof of Stake coin , and all the coins have been already extracted, so how can you mine it ? By using Altnuts SuperNET Multipool !

Here, no registration needed, quickly: copypaste altnuts address, add your opal address and let it crush with the SuperNET Multipool !

http://altnuts.com

For those who are new with mining, here is a complete guide:
Windows OS and AMD Graphic card.

You need to:
have decent drivers: at least 14.6:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/

Download & install Microsoft.NET 4.5 framework :
http://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/download/details.aspx?id=42642

Download & install AMD APP SDK (for Windows 32 bits) -> http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/opencl-zone/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/
Go to the second board AMD APP SDK v2.9.1 and choose the correct one (for Windows 32 or for Windows 64 bits).
download and extract sph-sgminer x11mod -> https://github.com/lasybear/sph-sgminer_x11mod (i like the 4.1.0)

Then you need to create the .conf file

(Remember the extension must be seen, to be sure):

Windows 8 : Open a File Explorer window and click the "View" tab and tick "File name extensions".

Windows 7/vista : Open Windows Explorer and click the "Organize" button towards the top left. Choose "Folder and search options" from the menu. Then click the "View" tab in the window that opens, then scroll down and untick "Hide file extensions for known file types".

So create a new text document with your notepad and copy/paste the following: (remember to edit oYOUR_OPAL_ADDRE55):

Code:

{
"pools" : [
   {
   "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum1.altnuts.com:5555",
   "user" : "oYOUR_OPAL_ADDRE55",
   "pass" : "your_password"
   }
]
,
"intensity" : "16",
"worksize" : "256",
"kernel" : "x11mod",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192",
"shaders" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"gpu-engine" : "1050",
"gpu-fan" : "0-0",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "0",
"gpu-vddc" : "0.000",
"temp-cutoff" : "87",
"temp-overheat" : "83",
"temp-target" : "75"
}

... Save this file as sgminer.conf in your sph-sgminer x11mod folder (beware not to save it as sgminer.conf.txt).
These settings work for AMD 7970, R9 270x, R9 280x.
You should change thread-concurrency, gpu-engine, intensity (usually 13-18) and gpu-memclock values to fit your GPU habits. (if you change thread-concurrency, delete the x11modXXXXXXg2tcXXXXwXXXl4.bin file in your sph-sgminer x11mod folder).

In order to change your gpu-engine and gpu-memclock value please read https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison, the "C" Column is for gpu-engine value and the "M" is for gpu-memclock values.

(remember that if you want to change settings when the sgminer.conf is saved you must right-click and choose edit, instead of open)

Now create another text document with your notepad and copy/paste:

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer.exe -k x11mod -o stratum+tcp://stratum1.altnuts.com:5555 -u oYOUR_OPAL_ADDRE55 -p your_password

-Save this file as for example Buyopal.bat in your sph-sgminer x11mod folder
(beware not to save it as Buyopal.bat.txt)

-Create a shortcut that you cut/paste on your desktop: to start mining, just double click this Buyopal.bat shortcut ! be patient, first time it take 30 seconds to run.

For more info, please dont spam this topic and read the topic of lasybear https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annx11x13-x11-darkcoinx13-marucoin-miner-based-on-sph-sgminer-623409

You must not have Hardware error "HW" in Sgminer, even a few, if so please read https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7615953

FYI:

WOke up to see the crash error... it says as follows:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

This application has requested te Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the applications support team for more information.

When i click OK ... opal wallet comes to background and says: Opal-QT .exe has stopped working

Running off outside to have a bite to eat

see ya'll around m8's.

maybe your cpu got overloaded? i had this error last days over night cause i had too many projects and programs open.

usually i don't have any problems with opal qt. but it was only opal qt crashing over night. no problems with staking btcd wallet or any other programs

What do you need in order to receive the dividends? Download the latest wallet, start staking or what?

Hi xxxgoodgirls,

you need to download the last wallet and start staking

Wink

I think he may be curious (as am I) about how we receive the payments. Are they daily, weekly, maybe payed out once the website reaches a certain amount? Will they shows up similar to being mined or from a specific address (which we could then label 'dividend')?

I'm eager to hear more is all Tongue

Keep it up guys!

Once we reach a certain amount.

yes crash also , so impossible for me to get my dividends yesterday

Any fix?? Every time when it crashes it says that coins arent mature ...over and over... cant stake like this. My pc is the problem or the wallet?
PS: Have also multiple wallets staking... opal is only one of them which is crashing.. next time it crashes ill copy paste the error message ;P

Hi Kartaba,

The first thing you can do is to:
-close your wallet and open the opalcoin folder located here:

Code:

C:\Users\Yourusername\AppData\Roaming\opalcoin

(remember you need to display the hidden folder in order to reach the Appdata folder)
-erase all the files and folder you found except your wallet.dat
-restart your wallet.

if you still encounter issue after this, PM me a copy/paste of your debug.log file located in:

Code:

C:\Users\Yourusername\AppData\Roaming\opalcoin

I agree, I think any posting helps bring attention and keeps us active,

Exactly.

So that includes my hard criticisms, and the explanations that disqualify any issues I raise.

Controversy keeps the thread alive, and more postings, which means better recognition on Bitcointalk.

So indirectly, I'm helping. A healthy debate on where Opal is going, just leads to more posts, more recognition, and more new people catching the wave.

Based on what I said, I think I should keep posting my thoughts because I'm actually helping here.

Yes you are, Toldy, and i thank you for that.

Can't argue here, debate is equally good, and creates discussion.

will have all revenue generated go back to Opal users through dividend payments. This serves as
both an incentive for users to hold Opal, as well as holding them in their local wallets and cold
storage.

How is this better than holding and staking the normal way?

I went to bitsofnews.net and it is a complicated site. I wasn't sure as an Opal holder how I could earn more Opals via that site?

I think a good explanation of the technicality's of how this works will come soon. I think it will add more insentive to stake, as you receive extra income besides that from staking, but I would like to know more as well!

Such as how exactly revenue is generated? Advertisements would be one way, views, taking payments for publishing articles. If advertisements are one way, then clicking them and giving them views would help generate revenue and thus greater dividends. Another way would simply be spreading the word for the sites themselves, as the larger/higher profile they become (by views) the more revenue I'd can amuse we as opal holders would get.

I'd also be interested to know how often coin wallet snapshots are taken, randomly, daily, weekly? Randomly would keep people on there toes and provide more incentive to keep coins staking so they don't miss out. Daily would be fine as well, but perhaps if it was a fixed longer term interval people would catch on and move coins to wallet on those interval times.

It looks like there will be more sites to come http://bitsofnews.net/opal-announces-second-revenue-stream-for-dividends/ (still pass protected), which is fantastic. The idea is great, and looks to have great potential. Look forward to hearing more.
