The windows QT at launch with that well added into it is not as important as it used to be at launch time as it used to be. IMO, I think we started to get close to 100 dif in about a half hour. Add into the mix the low block reward at the start would have negated any opp to solo mine .

As I said the only real thing we can complain about is the premine.... as I said that all depends on the devs how its dished out. If they want a successful coin, making sure most of that pre mine is dished out would help tons.

It was late, however confusion might be that people expected the delay to be for hours.  I think +3hr was said and in fact it was only some minutes later.  I had CGminer on failover, not a big deal.  I wasnt watching launch and didnt have to be as it worked fine by itself

50 to 500 was a great idea.  It should be in the rule book for every coin.    Do I actually love that, not so much because instamine is like 'free coins' & combined with that, the diff moved up so quick; this makes ruby the hardest coin launch ever I think.   Both great ideas just not advantageous to me, maybe it'll equate to higher coin value in time but not right now

Really? late? hmmm i will edit my posts.

Lack of the windows QT sucks though. Premine up from 0 to 2....Well, let's see how the premine goes.

If you don't mean to single RubyCoin out, why have you been at it all day? Why don't you just go find a coin to enjoy and move on?

Our pool is killing it!!  All 77KH/s.   

My understanding is this

First blocks were intentionally small to make sure that instant mining did not happen as other pools caught up on loading up the wallets. I think most of the pools kicked off right around the same time.

Second, those who thought they would solo mine this are nuts. The dif jumped rather quickly. Unless you had 60+MH I doubt you even would have found a block.

Third, it was launched late. I saw the time on the main page. Was here before waiting until launch.

Only thing that may be wrong is the premine, but all coins premine, what they do with it is another story.

This is a complete lie.  Do you have any evidence of this?  Of course not.  Around 3:30 EST was the time it was launched. 3:00 EST was the planned launch.  You think the launch was planned at 4?  Are you messing up your timezones?

I don't wish to single rubycoin out, but really after 1 failed launch you are meant to do better NOT worse.

You're either lying or woefully misinformed. There was no mining ahead of time aside from the paltry 50 coin block reward, meant to slow down those who were hoping to jump the gun. Even a few minutes to pools of less repute is enough to give people a huge advantage with this coin considering how the difficulty works. The decision was one of integrity and a big factor in why I was willing to take this contract.

Why don't you go promote beecoin in your own thread?

Simple...only give the pools the source a few mins before the windows qt is released??

If...  There's no evidence of this, and the accusation of scam which you keep throwing around makes absolutely no sense.  Go ahead and call me a shill, but I reject the generous giveaways given on the ruby IRC to random people every five minutes.


Simply not true.  They launched half an hour late working out tiny kinks of Ubuntu compiling.  3:30 EST is when they launched, launch was planned for 3:00 EST.


I run my rig on a thumb drive, I don't even need to touch my Windows installation.  Linux is 100% free and a 5 year old can install Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Lubuntu.  
The difficulty at the beginning was way to high for solo mining to be worth it anyway.  I honestly don't understand the butthurt.  Pools were ready on time, miners of ruby.hash.so (open to the public) got most of the tiny initial block rewards, but that is an entire other flame war between Ruby and hash.so (that has basically ended)


Basically you and a few others are angry you couldn't instamine the coin.  50 coin block reward until block 500.  Do you not understand how this is a preventative measure?  I'm fully convinced that you and whoever that other person is that started this flame war (almost a day after launch lol) had huge rigs and are disappointed you couldn't get as many coins as you did.  Just wait a couple days till the 'only mine new coins' people move onto another coin and the difficulty goes down, you'll get plenty.

There has to be a better way to fuck the lemmings than this epic failure.

I don't think you understand. The 50 RUBY block reward was intentional, and not announced ahead of time as a security measure. We had pools essentially ruin the first launch by breaching the procedural launch agreement. At this point, I'm wondering what pool you were a member of?

hmmm....

New account with an older nickname. I've been around.

There was an absolutely fair launch. The first number of blocks were mined at a lower amount (50), this ensured all pools had a fair shot to get ready in time.

Nice incorrect use of the meme, btw.

I lolled.

This is not the next Mintcoin, that title belongs to Blackcoin. Sorry devs you fckd up royally on this one, and it didn't have to be this way. Is that 3% premine worth 5 dollars yet? If so, you better dump it now.

I've jumped in. I'm a communications consultant, and I see the potential of RubyCoin. I've actually been newly contracted (tonight) to do communications work for the RubyCoin team, and am confident enough in this coin's future to be taking payment for my work 100% in RUBY.

Ignore the naysayers people, in my opinion this coin is going places. Upward trend in value from a stable base after only 24 hours. Not only that, many of the sell orders of higher amounts indicate I'm not alone in thinking you shouldn't dump your ruby on the cheap.
