Well that was a total waste of time.
It took only two miners to totally ruin the whole thing, turning it into just another orphan-fest of insta-mining.
I'll stick to Tenebrix and Fairbrix.
Notice that: just TWO miners.
The pathetically stupidly low difficulty is basically no different from zero difficulty.
You obviously do need one or probably much more than one as initial difficulty to do any kind of reasonable launch these days.
TWO miners should have been NEGLIGIBLE, just two such guys should have needed hours per block, since in a proper launch there would be dozens and dozens of such miners...

I put a couple of CPUs on it, as you need a connection in order to mine so had to set up two nodes.
I hoped we could have another of those nice CPU-mined coins, at least for a while.
But no, just one other person on it and instead of economising on electricty by just using the least necessary amount of hashing they are zooming through blocks so fast they are darn close to orphaning their own blocks were it not for the fact one doesn't orphan one's own blocks.
So who-ever joins as third participant likely will also have to spend insane amounts of electricity and both of them will be making it much harder much faster than need be and likely both start getting orphans too. Sigh.
Tenebrix and Fairbrix are so much more civilised, lots of people quietly CPU mining month after month, so far none of these "lets spoil it for everyone by wasting more electricity than need be" folks screwing it up for everyone yet...

You'd be lucky to happen upon an IRC channel that has someone else in it, as it picks from 100 channels at random so until there are many more than 100 clients on IRC chances are good that you will land in a channel that has no one else in it.
However you can use addnode=-addnode=198.154.60.61:19312 to find a node with an open incoming port.
(Its default ports seem to be the same as bitcoin's, hooking up to a bitcoin node wouldn't be very useful...)

Are you mining it already?

No binaries at start, as usual. 
So? The pre-mine is already built in, the dev gets 50% no matter who mines, right? So what does it matter whether some people are faster at compiling than others? The pre-mine is already a done deal.

I forgot about that part...So, wait, not only does he get %50 of eveything mined, he couldn't even be bothered to compile the clients for people. Man, laziest scam ever

Anyone could on theory start mining if they compile the code themselves. At this time, any changes will involve just network parameters.
and that means? ...
That it has launched, presumably.
Go ahead and compile for your system and start mining...
The part about network parameters though, does that maybe mean the magic handshake bytes have not been changed from whichever coin this was cloned from, so that it is not really actually a separate coin-network of its own yet?

TLDR: total fail. Op couldn't figure out how to compile qt, Mac or Ubuntu client. Abandoning project that went over launch deadline.
The end.
Thats a shitty response, tbh
No it is not. Google will return you www.zenithcoin.com at the top of the list.
"DigitalCoin" on the other hand is completely absent on the first page.
Nope, front page. Another asshole dev, who feels being a dick will help promote his coin, and, from me, yet another, go fuck yourself.

Lol, what a fail launch.
He seems to have checked in the important bits of code already: https://github.com/zenithcoin/ZenithCoin
Doesn't appear to by anything stopping people from compiling it themselves.

That is correct, all the code is checked in already and has been tested in a test box for both testnet and regular network.

No
Definitely going to be more profitable than mining WDC.
No
Well, at most this guy will do a different PoW, Blake512 Scrypt.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/zenithcoin-ztc-proof-of-work-219652
Please, solracxc, tell us how you will implement Blake512 (fixed, dependinf on height... )
. I hope you make what you promised ...

when are going you to coding flavour scrypt PoW if launching is 1 Jun? Plesae, close the poll and start to coding now!!!!!!!!
The coin is designed to easily use any scrypt. We are leaning towards Blake 512 to create some stickiness with the initial miners.
