The block explorer says there are 208 blocks and the difficulty is @ 3.306 which explains why it's dead. The difficulty algorithm for the start must have been a bit over the top for it to get as difficult as that in so few blocks.

If anything this topic just goes to show that people are full of shit in general and don't want a fair release. They want the best of both worlds, a ridiculously low starting difficulty but without the orphans that go hand in hand with it.

Nice

I have the source that I downloaded on release day:

https://apps.memopal.com/e/VQ4Z5JZW

Is it dead?

Hello?

It seems that Lhunephel has abandonned this coin?

If anyone has the source, please post it

Here is the client I downloaded from the OP, please don't trust on my word it's safe; always scan binaries before using them!

QuantumCoin Windows client on MEGA.com

Forward port 9998 in router for more connections.

wow, what's next.. Universe Coin?

Anyone?

Where is the website? Where is the client? 1 wallet is in sync, the other says it has to download another 16k blocks   Any update on this by Lhunephel?

Download location for the client is gone? 

When I start the client it wants to download 16k blocks, is it forked?

sounds like we should merge the ideas of ELC and QTC...

but as you said no one wants to mine a coin that ISNT CoinChoose top ofthe pile :/

I updated several parameters to make the block chain reacting smoother, hopefully making it more interesting for other miners. Updated sources are available on GitHub now. Because the block chain is not active at the moment (last block is several hours old ) the changes are active immediate. Please update your clients before mining the block chain. An updated Windows binary is also available. The retargeting is now a lot of faster with lower network hash rate and the difficulty should change smoother. Also the target timespan is now decreasing faster with increasing network hash rate.

I don't think that the block chain should already be declared as dead. At least I hope it. Maybe it takes some time until people will be willing to join. But I think Petr1fied is right. Everybody whines about the new coins with a very low difficulty, with an high amount of precalculated blocks, with a lot of orphans. But when you do a fair release with a higher difficulty as normal, a very fast retargeting at the beginning, nobody is interested. It's sad, but looks like it's the reality.

I tried. I threw my modest 1000 Khash at it until the client would no longer sync. I did think it was weird near the end when I was finding all of the blocks and there were no new blocks detected on the network. RIP quantumcoin.

That probably goes to prove that although people say they want a fair release with a difficulty of 1.0 so that it's not an orphanfest they don't actually mean it. What they really want is to mine when it's very easy so they can find lots of blocks. They just don't want the orphans that go hand in hand with that.

At the moment the hash rate is too low for the block chain to work like expected

You're right; I used the wrong spacing and interval params; same as with the subsidy.. But those values are really only used for statistic purposes. I'll take a look at them over the weekend.

Cheers

@tyrion70: But I think there's something wrong with the displayed retarget interval. The maximum retarget interval is 15. Also I think the target spacing is not 60 seconds at the moment. Have a look in the sources (quantumcoin/src/main.cpp), there are three methods calculating the retarget, target spacing and target timespan parameters. I think the p2pool code has to be modified like with the block values.
