Topic: [ANN] ParallelCoin - DUO - SHA256 + Scrypt | Community Takeover - page 31. (Read 61171 times)

good news.. Parallelcoin (DUO) was added to following mining pool: http://yiimp.goshencoin.org/site/mining
it is a multipool with autotrade and autoswitch.
Point your miners there - have fun hashing.

Nothing died.. all fine ... there are currently not many miners... thats all

today 21 blocks have been mined.. so blockchain moved and coins got transfered....

How do I mine 1 block so my wallet is not stuck on April?

Die 

Mine one block, and block chain will move from 20th of April to today.
Unfortunately my Antminer S3 is not working, otherwise mining one block would already have been done...

My wallet is stuck on


Last Block Time Thu Apr 20 22:10:12 2017
block 144615


Can anyone help with this?


Thanks

Is there a bootstrap for windows available?

marcetin is currently very busy, I am reaching him only from time to time. But I am pretty sure he got/saw your message.

I think the wallet does not sync the last 12 days, as there was no new block mined since this time.
When I check the block explorer, I see that the last mined block was 144,615, which was on 20th of April.

Tomorrow I could start my sha256 miner to point it on the parallelcoin pool and get the block chain moving again.

Someone else which could put his miner onto the pool, too? (http://pool.parallelcoin.info)
 

Thank you very much for the update it is very much appreciated!

I did try to contact marectin however I did not get a response yet.

I hope marectin has not given up on this coin?

The wallet keeps getting stuck when syncing with network. Is it working?

I did add some nodes but it is still really slow.

I added the nodes below but only 4 to 5 active connections.  Anyone else having this problem?

The "founders" are now the community, as there was a community takeover of the coin back about 2 to 3 years ago.

So basically you and me and others, which are interested in Parallelcoin or are holding/mining Parallelcoin, are the ones now in charge for the future of this coin.

A (main) part is currently on the shoulders of marectin, which is running the http://www.parallelcoin.info website and also the block explorer http://explorer.parallelcoin.info/, as well as the current sha256 pool http://pool.parallelcoin.info . You can find marcetin on the top100 rich list on place 1 - this is due that he was mining the coin for years to keep the block chain running/moving for a very long time.

Currently the block chain is only moving from time to time, as there are only a few miners out there. This could change anytime again soon, especially if the coin would rise in price and would make mining more profitable again.

About the future of the coin: There are plans to integrate the coin in some online shops and also other things. Maybe marcetin could post some more insights on what he knows. But as said before, the coin is community driven - so it depends on everyone to make something out of this coin. Maybe there are some ideas of the community, which could bring this coin forward?

For example I helped in the past to get the coin on Cryptopia (this was about 2 years ago). I added it there for voting and I talked with quite some people to get the coin voted - at last after some weeks in the vote list DUO did have enough votes and it was added to Cryptopia. Back then Cryptopia did even add a scrypt mining pool for DUO, but it was shut down about 1 year ago.

So as said before, it depends on the community - and it would be nice to see the community to wake up and bring this coin forward. Post your ideas and lets work them out.

I am interested in investing in parallelcoin, who are the founders now?
Is it still a community?

Apart from the attractive low supply and low price what is parallelcoin actually building?

I would really appreciate some answers from the community before I invest today.

Thanks!

Good to see - the sha256 DUO main pool is working again:
http://pool.parallelcoin.info

Are there other pools too? Maybe scrypt?

Somebody know a working sha256 DUO pool?

Better to get some DUO as long as it is still cheap.
Or mine some - still one of the coins pretty easy to mine.
There might be a time soon when mining and buying is not so easy and cheap as now...

Why is nothing happening with DUO ? Only 1,000,000 coins total, I thought this would be a hit 
One thing I have noticed though is that someone seems to buy everything under 2000 satoshi, maybe someone in the know is collecting ready for a future pump ?
What do you guys think ?

Any news on this coin ? Been holding for ages but not seen much movement in a while 

Mining your ParallelCoin now, our pool already live!

If you need help with the configuration you can chat with us.

DUO is a solid altcoin currency, which is there since years. It is still mineable, the blockchain is kept alive and is working 100%, so DUO is an ideal altcoin currency for payments and transactions.

But it got very quiet lately on DUO. So, what can we do to make DUO more wellknown/more attractive for exchange traders/make DUO a top altcoin currency?

One point would be to collect all current information about DUO like active mines, exchanges, ... and update the first post of this thread.

Also contacting online shops and other businesses, which are offering various altcoins for payment, to add DUO as additional stable payment currency.

What might help would be contacting blogs/news pages to write articles/posting informations on DUO to increase knowledge.

Some other good idea?
