No, it doesn't work.
I have many active peers and several miners. I'll have to see more why it doesn't work for some. I test on my PC and in a VM, but that doesn't cover every configuration so it's hard to tell.
I couldn't get the GUI Wallet working, however managed to set up the daemon, the simple wallet and the miner from command line (windows 10, 64 Bit)
I'm getting a few blocks here and there running a Ryzen 1700.
However I'm suspecting the scale/economics of the coin might be out of alignment (broken) due to the massive coin distribution of 1844674407 coins
I've grabbed block height 582, 597,603,619,636,643,644,672,689,690 and 728 in the last 30 minutes or so.
Obviously this is early days and I'm one of the few miners who have this working. I'm using a Ryzen 1700, but only devoted 6 threads to the mining, so I'm not exactly a mining powerhouse (plus I'm not going to burn my CPU with all coins at 100% for such a speculative endeavour).
So I've got 2198 coins in the simple wallet now, which sounds fantastic in theory for 30 minutes of mining.
But, thats in theory...
The problem is, the coin supply is 1.8 Billion Coins.
And, the coin is Cryptonight.
As soon as someone sets up a pool (and gets GPU mining up), anything I mine now is going to be a tiny drop in the ocean and a complete waste of time and energy. I suspect people will be pulling millions with a GPU.
So, whilst I love the "no-premine" and the opportunity to grab a few blocks early, the reward for doing so is just not enough for me to be crushing my CPU on my desktop PC. Especially when you consider even a 1 sat price on an exchange seems very fanciful based on the massive distribution.
Dev : I applaud your tenacity and efforts to get your coin off the ground, but I'm not sure the massive distribution is a good idea. Having said that I'd welcome your input and thoughts into why you might think otherwise
I think that this number of coins is not a problem. It is still 11 times LOWER than Digibyte (DGB), which is doing great. It is easier to send 10 XRX than eg. 0.0000012 BTC from a human point of view, we feel better with such numbers. If graphics cards enter the game, the amount of coins to be mined per day will remain the same, only the difficulty level will increase.
