Yes, this coin can be traded on https://bitfex.trade and https://bitebtc.com

We are not an ICO (not Ethereum-based), and there are also no Airdrops or any kind of Premine.

What you mine is what you have. Or you buy it on an exchange.

As i can see in the site, there will be NO ICO, Premine or even airdorp.
So this will be fully trade able in the market.
When does it ready to be trade in market?

Hi guys,
How many coins we can mine at 1Ghs per day guys? I checked some pools but found no info
Thanks gius.

Our completely redesigned home page is now online: https://actinium.org

Check it out!

And I see a problem to discuss such things outside of GitHub.
All you can do is to provide more hashing power. My duty is not to make mining "fun again". Also not to change code because some individuals want it so.

Consensus is there, live with it. Or mine another coin.

EDIT: Sorry You said the same thing really. I did not read it all correct going bed now.

The block chain is done on a amount of blocks. Time is defined by blocks on 90% of chains.

So if the diff jumped due to big hash that has now been removed it is going to take a long long time to lower.

This is because the amount of blocks that have been mined. The chain will slow things down so the amount of blocks dont go faster than it should.

EG...

The chain should pump around 567 blocks a day. But if there was say 3000 blocks pumped a day due to mega hash rate then the chain will slow things down.

What you need to do is work out from the point of change the amount of blocks mined over the 567 blocks a day. Then remove that from the amount of blocks mined in 3.5 days around 1984.5 blocks and then you will have a number to work on.

Regardless of any of it the diff will change. and it will get stable. Its just a matter of time. If it takes to long for the network to get to that block diff it will drop the diff way low again and you will get 2000 blocks of fast mining followed by 2000 blocks of slow mining that could take weeks given everyone is not keeping there miners running at the hash rate that got the diff up.

To make diff stable you need to be mining. Waiting is not going to help the coin because the diff will end up going silly low to silly high.

Hi doktor1897,

Due to network diff being abit messed up at the min blocks are taking a long time some times 1 hour to find a block on all of the network.

It takes 101 blocks to confirm. Pay is as soon as the block you mined on is confirmed.

If you have yet to get a payment send me your key and I will take a look for you. The pool is paying out so its prob just a case that the blocks are running so slow.

The network should pump 576 a day (EST) its pumping about 100 at the min if that.

EG... it taken 1 hour to get this block http://explorer.actinium.org/block-height/43278

Regards,

Raster.

If you think it's a coding error, then you have to describe it exactly. Everything else is only assumptions.
The rules of the Consensus are clear: every 2016 block a difficulty retarget will take place. Block time is 2.5 mins. This calculated together is roughly 3.5 days.
But this is only an estimated value for humans, because we think in days, hours, minutes etc. It is given to people to estimate things. You can't know in advance how much hashing power will miners use at any point in time.

Therefore, the Consensus will have to adapt to it. But every 2016 blocks only. If those 2016 blocks are being generated within 3.5 days or 3 days or maybe 4 days is a question of available hashrate, current difficulty, processed diffficulty etc. Also, our coin is pretty new, with a non-forked blockchain, so the many ASICs out there could quickly take advantage of it (for some time, but not forever).

It will simply take _time_ to adapt to all those circumstances. It's not year 2011 with GPUs only. Our coin never had the chance to grow up slowly, while technologies changed around it. It started almost immediately with ASICs.

So, please, before giving me any coding advice or making any assumptions that could provoke useless discussions, either open a proper Pull Request on GitHub with your solution, or simply stop writing about imagined problems you can't provide a solution for.

I am very open to any improvements, but only on a stable, testable, and falsifiable base.

Software isn't being done in a pub, with beer in your hand, or in a forum, with smileys.

Code is work. Hard, explicit, and very "boring" work.

I have used the best available code as base for this coin: Litecoin.

And I think these guys know much better than me how to create proper Consensus rules.
And I suppose they also know it better than you.

Now, back to mining/trading/Discord!  


EDIT:

Here, a nice article, actually a comparison between Litecoin & Bitcoin. There you can read a bit about potential problems regarding difficulty adjustments. Scroll down a bit to the paragraph "Difficulty retarget"

Although it's not about a pool the project controls, maybe these few hints could help you.

Maybe you had config problems? Not sure as this is not our pool, but in the past we had sometimes similar problems, because of too high/too low difficulties set on different miner hardware.
I'd recommend you to try different pools until you find one that fits to your hardware/difficulty settings.

If you are using NiceHash, then pools like https://smilingmining.com are recommended. If you're using own high-diff miners then maybe https://goldmine.actinium.org is a good start for you.
There are also two official mining pools for diffs 32, 256, 512, up to 450,000 to try: http://pool.actinium.org & http://fastpool.actinium.org which are based on same software like the above pool you quoted.
There is also a #mining channel in our Discord with many helpful people.

I do mining in the pool you web pool for over 12 hours but still not received ACM payments, and I see also they found some blocks in your pool, how is this

Miners are fickle.  They run away quickly and then return with the herd.  Kind of like sheep.  That said when you have a 3.5 day retarget on difficulty, sometimes it's going to create problems.  Is it possible to change it to 24 hours?  

Good job on getting close on the Ledger Nano dev.  The more features this coin has, the less likely people can ignore it.

I am sorry, but I didn't understand the question. What did you mean with "trading application"?

This is a and interesting project. So, do you happened to have a UI preview for the trading application?
Perhaps by looking on the preview of it, i could give more trust to the investors.

We have a new bounty program: Discord Invite.

Invite people to our Discord and earn 25, 50, or 100 ACM (depending on the amount of invites).

Check the #invite-challenge room in our Discord for more info on how to participate: https://discord.gg/5xRppjz

Great! Welcome to our Discord then

Mining is currently only profitable with ASICs, or by renting enough hashing power.
I am not sure if GPU mining can be made profitable at all. In our #mining channel are people who know better than me.
But AFAIK the ASICs have taken over.

I'll probably join the Discord
It isn't worth mining using my laptop, right?
Radeon Pro 555 and a i7 processor

Many thanks!

You are welcome to our Discord, and of course you can mine ACM with us! 

The coin doesn't seem to be mining correctly right now.  Maybe the difficulty is set so high that it's causing trouble.

Hopefully things back to normal soon.

Nice project Brakmic! It's cool to see where you are now.
I wish you the very best with this project and I'll probably follow it closely  

Congrats on the BiteBtc listing btw.

Well, the support from the community (tweets, forum posts, general advertising) about this feature was rather poor.
We have to ask ourselves, is there a proper community at all?

I can't estimate the size of the community, but from the perspective of activity, it's very small and not active at all.
A bit of Discord chats, but that's it. A small echo chamber at best.
