What I wonder is how much of the pre-mine will be burned.

The dev said he is putting an automated script to do the burning, but looking here -- http://explorer.nigeriacoin.org/address/NigeriaDestroyCurrencyHAhaHAmoSNy2 -- I see the process ends on April 8th and the total burned coins is around 3 billions NGC. And the pre-mine is around 44 billions (almost half of the 88 billions total mineable coins).

Looks like the daemon on the block explorer is offline, but here are the transaction hashes for all burns since the date you mentioned:
Code:

You can look at them by opening the debug console and running
Code:
getrawtransaction TXHASH_HERE 1

Note the 1 on the end or you'll just get the raw hex representation

If anyone wants to set up a block explorer you need to first install our skein python module from https://github.com/nigeriacoin/p2pool/tree/master/skeinhash and then add the below entries to your Abe/Chain.py

replace the create function defininition at the beginning of the file with this
Code:
def create(policy, **kwargs):
    # XXX It's about time to interpret policy as a module name.
    if policy in [None, "Bitcoin"]: return Bitcoin(**kwargs)
    if policy == "Testnet":         return Testnet(**kwargs)
    if policy == "Namecoin":        return Namecoin(**kwargs)
    if policy == "LegacyNoBit8":    return Sha256Chain(**kwargs)
    if policy == "NovaCoin":        return NovaCoin(**kwargs)
    if policy == "CryptoCash":      return CryptoCash(**kwargs)
    if policy == "Hirocoin":        return Hirocoin(**kwargs)
    if policy == "X11":             return X11Chain(**kwargs)
    if policy == "Bitleu":          return Bitleu(**kwargs)
    if policy == "Keccak":          return KeccakChain(**kwargs)
    if policy == "Maxcoin":         return Maxcoin(**kwargs)
    if policy == "NigeriaCoin":     return NigeriaCoin(**kwargs)
    return Sha256NmcAuxPowChain(**kwargs)

Then add
Code:
class SkeinChain(Chain):
   def block_header_hash(chain, header):
       import skeinhash
       return skeinhash.getPoWHash(header)

class NigeriaCoin(SkeinChain):
    def __init__(chain, **kwargs):
        chain.name = 'NigeriaCoin'                       
        chain.code3 = 'NGC'
        chain.address_version = '\x35'
        chain.magic = '\x2f\x23\x2c\x25'
        Chain.__init__(chain, **kwargs)

    datadir_conf_file_name = "nigeriacoin.conf"
    datadir_rpcport = 3556

And add "policy": "NigeriaCoin" to your datastore entry in your config file (to make sure abe uses the right chain policy), e.g.
Code:
datadir = [{
    "dirname": "/home/ubuntu/.nigeriacoin",
    "chain": "NigeriaCoin",
    "policy": "NigeriaCoin",
    "code3": "NGC",
    "address_version": "\u0035"}]

What I wonder is how much of the pre-mine will be burned.

The dev said he is putting an automated script to do the burning, but looking here -- http://explorer.nigeriacoin.org/address/NigeriaDestroyCurrencyHAhaHAmoSNy2 -- I see the process ends on April 8th and the total burned coins is around 3 billions NGC. And the pre-mine is around 44 billions (almost half of the 88 billions total mineable coins).

So will the other premined coins be burned in batches one after the other in the future? And when, how long will it take, what is the algorythum of this burn?

Are you still wondering ?
There will no burning and no moon for this coin.

Now I have NGC... So, please explain how I go about showing Proof of Burn? And, it would be good to hear what is the point, why should I bother? I like your idea, the innovative approach and would like to support NGC, but I am quite new to this so please take a moment to be explanatory.

As far as I understand it, the proof of burn (destroying some of the pre-mined coins) negates a bit the bad effects of the premine. The dev said the premine was 47% which is a lot, so destroying even some of these coins as time passes is better than leaving them.

OTOH having a large pre-mine and then leaving the coin may lead us to think that there was a dump -- I didn't bother to check and investigate this in the coin chain and I hope the dev is still around and will be supporting the coin.

But I'm just a user, not the dev, so maybe the dev should address these questions about proof of burn.

There is something wrong -- maybe with the explorer in the OP -- the last block in the explorer is 7083 from April 9 and today is 13th and my local daemon shows block #9622

I mean this explorer: http://explorer.nigeriacoin.org/chain/NigeriaCoin

Is there a problem in the chain now? I refreshed mine and I am again on 9622 (with new blocks appearing). Is there a fork???

Congrats Dev. Keep up the good work!

I tried the updated client, shows 'no block source available'. The previous one works fine, I can send/receive NGCs.
Can you give some nodes, so I can add them manually?

I don't see any workers in ALL pools listed on front page. All mining solo?..
how much NGC will I have with 280x (750kh scrypt) and what speed it will be in skein mh?

I have been solo mining from the beginning. Sometimes the pools pick up but then they go back to zero miners again. My guess is because the difficulty drops back down and its easy to hit blocks by yourself.

With your 280X I'm sure you will hit blocks probably about 3-5 per hour at the current difficulty. My guess on your MH/s would be around 180-200. When you use the skein miner make sure you keep your intensity down to about 10-11 going higher won't increase your MH/s and it just slows down your computer.

Hope that helps.

Listed on Mintpal voting and rising quickly. Thanks to all who have donated/clicked so far.

Looks like there is finally a post in the reddit as well. Sweetness  Grin

Well that escalated quickly.   Shocked

The network Hash rate (3.2 GH/s) and difficulty (was 400+) jumped up quite a bit when the C-Cex exchange was announced.

We should probably be pushing for more exchanges. Im thinking mintpal.

Anyone else willing to spend a tiny fraction of btc to get NGC up the list?

Don't you think it's better to concentrate the volume onto one exchange?

Yes and no.

If the exchange isn't large enough to support the amount of incoming NGC then I think another medium sized one may help out quite a bit.

The larger problem I see isn't really the amount of exchanges but rather the lack of attention to this coin. Honestly I think some activity on the reddit page and a plan for the Nigerian part of the coin would help even more. The proof of burn concept is awesome and I believe in it but there needs to be more. Just like any great idea if no one knows about it then it just stays as an idea.

Either way I have asked mintpal to list NGC on their votes and it is on there now. So if anyone does agree that mintpal would help promote the coin please help me get it up the list.

Is C-CEX having trouble adding the NGC coin for some reason? It doesn't seem to have been added despite winning their vote.

I think we need to get this coin on some respected exchanges to draw some additional mining interest to the coin - network hash rate seems to be decreasing (3185662818 now).

I would think with the increased prevalence of Scrypt ASICS that miners would be looking into alternative hashes, and I think NGC has a lot of advantages as a coin.

I am trying to talk to C-CEX support on Skype now.
