Developer any update ?

 I'm have mined lot of coin near 500,000 SOL

So far no response from neither CoinEX nor Cryptsy. No "yes", no "no", the request is still pending awaiting their attention.

To be honest -  I don't think that any of these two will accept it yet. Sure, your coin had a smooth launch and seems fair from the looks of it, but it won't have any trade volume at this moment, which is the main reason for an exchange to pick up a coin. Care about some promotion, get the word around.

Your coin is great!

We mine it. It would be great if you create a Facebook page for news. Wish your coin to be on trades like CoinEX very soon.  Smiley

Someone outside these forums asked a few technical questions out of curiosity, regarding network co-mingling, the genesis block and so on, and we thought we'd give the answers here for anyone else who might be interested:

Our client is based on the Litecoin sources (v0.8.6.1 to be specific), which stopped using IRC for node announcements/exchanging in an update made to Litecoin many months ago. The IRC exchange was where the risk of network co-mingling occurred for altcoins that hadn't changed their so-called "message start" parameter to be different from that of other coins. We have a unique "message start" for our coin, just for the sake of being proper, so even if the IRC exchange feature had still been in use Solcoin would not be at risk of co-mingling with other cryptocurrency networks.

The genesis block took 3 (!) days to generate due to the relatively high initial network difficulty we chose for the coin. It was done in a race condition setup on a slow-ish 3.16 GHz Core 2 Duo by running two separate instances of the daemon, each having a different nonce. The relatively high difficulty of 0.1 was chosen to lessen the risk of instant forking in case too many people would start mining at the same time. We noticed how easily this happened during the launch of Mooncoin, whose nodes and pools were instantly hammered beyond smooth use, partly due to its very low difficulty and partly due to all the anticipation that the authors had built up by announcing the coin with a future deadline, allowing for a huge gathering to line up for the launch. This is good marketing, and they succeeded very well in this aspect of their launch. We chose to make no grande announcement in order to have curious miners trickle in on the network one by one to slowly but steadily establish a single true blockchain, and it worked out perfectly. Part of the reason is obviously that we're not exactly suffering a huge influx of miners and interest in our cryptocurrency Tongue

The name and the geist of the coin is obviously inspired by Mooncoin. Someone has probably already figured out the few symbolic numbers present, as they represent geometry in general and the geometry of the Sun: 696 342 000 total coins is the radius of the Sun in meters. 1772 coins reward is the square root of pi without decimal tokens. 3.14 minute block targets... pi again. The symbol of the coin - the circle with a disc inside - is the astronomical symbol of the Sun.

So, what else...... We contacted CoinEX and Cryptsy today about an intro, and will post updates when/if they get back to us. Still working on the lottery and the faucet on our spare time, which currently is meager to say the least, but keep calm and keep your panties on; we're getting there sooner or later.

Minor updates to the wallet software: new checkpoints added to help cement the blockchain, and the temporary Solcoin logo has finally been replaced with the real version. The wallet download links in the first post have been updated.

Is this coin dead already?


Not dead. We're still here, we're still working on some projects to help promote the coin along with a few minor updates to the wallet software.

Seems yes. Windows Qt wallet link not work.

The link on the announce post on first page works for me, just tried it and it's the new updated client there with QT 48. Linux one works also.

Ok just checked the block chain, and 1610 blocks are done meaning almost 3 million coins, so people are definitely mining it.

Not sure it is dead but I don't think so, the pool is running and the nodes are running too. I think the authors are just not the types to make memes and catchy image marketing for the coin but instead a more humble approach to try let the users govern where the coin will go. After all a coin cannot be killed since the source code and block chain is out there anyone can keep it alive. Solcoin Project replied just yesterday in the thread so I believe they are not leaving it hanging, but I think it will probaby take the route many coins do with being quiet after start and then months later when people notice it's still alive they trade and mine it again. If I got my math right the subsidy will half in 35-40 weeks so I'm gonna mine up a bit until then.

Is this easy to mine atm ?

Yeah the difficulty says 0 still so you can probably do around 1500 coins per hour in a pool on a 1000 kh/s miner rig.
