Relaunch will not be today. will probably be in the weekend. I am currently testing the pool and creating some deployment scripts.
I will aim on having a few pools working around for launch, so i want to make it easy for people to create pools. (one click installer - sort off)
so left to do/done
1.forked cryptonote
2.forked wallets
3.changed things in the code to make this thing compile on all platforms as the latest fork was a bit buggy!
4.solved incompatibilities with osx
5.solved visual studio problem with boost 1.55 etc
6.changed public key
7.created a seed deployment script so that I can create pools with one click in Azure (with full recompile)
8.played around with settings and did some test mines - i am currently on the 5th version of the blockchain. currently trying 200seconds difficulty target and 16million coins.
9.changed workflow for easy deployment - currently to generate a new genesis block, recompile on all platforms and bring up the seeds and the main pool takes me about 20 minutes - great for testing or new coins
10.Promotion - I already have some very high traffic bitcoin oriented websites and twitter accounts, will create some more websites that pull news to drive traffic for the launch date.
to do :
1.create a pool deployment script. currently someone would have to start ubuntu, then download & run simplewallet to generate a wallet, then run a single command to do the rest. i want to eliminate the creation of wallet step.
2.continue pool mining tests to make sure funds are not lost, pool is not stuck etc. I am aiming to find a configuration where people can mine for at least 10 days before it becomes very difficult, trying to find a balance. the first launch was killed by the pool really and the fast block intervals.
3.create faucet script so that people can create faucets with one click on digital ocean or azure.
5. need to think about premining. a 2% sounds great but on the other hand why.. i ll just keep it free, maybe i ll keep whatever blocks i manually premine before the launch. this costs me nothing, is just for fun dont want to be another quick profit coin.
6.try to keep control of the miners on my repo , cpu/gpu whatever.
7.at least one exchange script (one click install again) Like a website where you send another altcoin an you receive xmd back. i want this to be available to all to operate.
8.Way to control the price as much as possible. the above step is one of the steps before the public exchanges.
9.forum on the wordpress site.
10.Open to sugestions -publicly on this thread. cant think of anything else, what else would you like to see ready during launch? remember this a one man show, but all this work i am doing and this automation i am building could be reused as i am having all opensource on github.
