Honestly the fact that this coin is still easily able to connect and mine is pretty mindblowing to me because so many coins from these times are just dead now. Does anyone know anywhere at all that this coin is even trading??

True. It still works and its quite fun. The algo is not bad. The only place was yobit but as jojole_haricot wrote, they have closed it for maintenance for a long time. Which is also strange cause the wallet has stayed the same for so many years.

Anyone still mining this? Any good nodes to update and sync?

Hi,

you can try this to sync :
addnode=116.63.151.19:12945
addnode=37.47.11.126:12945
addnode=37.214.104.112:12945

But no exchange anymore... Yobit didn't sync their wallet for several years so deposit is not possible and support didn't answer.

Thanks. Its syncing now. It seems the first ip is still active. How did you find it?

Hey there everyone :-) I'm back and ready to do some serious trading and mining. Is anyone still mining this coin? I would love to see something happen with these old coins that no one seems to remember or want anything to do with anymore lol. Keep these small coins strong and keep them pumping people. We need to keep it alive.

Who mines with the wrong time, the difference is 1 hour. You break the blockchain. Stop cheating.
Correct the time on the PC or pool.

What happen?
no blocks from couple hours
it is normal?
is dev here?

Scrypt n = 12 and high diff

Already Scrypt n = 13.
It happens that the block is searched and for 12 hours

I like to become a miner, but what is the mining system for your project?

Welcome! Not sure exactly what question you are asking.

General Mining Info:
Info about the coin can be found on the first page and in a post I did on January 28th (2 posts above). Also, the white paper goes into detail about how the algorithm works if that is your interest.

Quick Mining Info:
Currently Aptcoin is CPU minable only. Mine directly from the wallet.

Simply let it run in the background and collect Aptcoins. Grin

Can you imagine what will happen when N-factor 14 turns on, and even more so N-factor 15? Transactions and now hang for a few hours.
What is your answer?

I did a quick check of 100 blocks (with 3 blocks over an hour) and the average block time was just over 4 minutes. It's true that the N-factor 13 blocks can take some time to solve but I have noticed major fluctuations in hash rate lately.

The developers plan was for "Every two years the range of N-factor will increase by 1" but that has not happened yet(has been a max N-factor 13 since 2014). I haven't looked at the code to find out why or if a deeper explanation was posted here.

The white paper talks about how the higher N-factors are addressed:
https://mega.nz/#!61B2jKzS!7Tho4XLnTPawRtkdbk6SF9rvn5sNkrN1LQ6NcDEezAM

Code:

After each block is solved, AptCurve will determine how long it took for the last 10 blocks to be generated, and compare that against how long it should have taken given the expected block generation time. If it took longer, we will decrease the difficulty, and it it took shorter, we will increase the difficulty. Additionally, 4 other factors will come into play while making this decision.

1. We will look at the average of the N-factors of the previous 10 blocks. If on average they were high, the actual time is expected to be longer than if they were low, so we add an additional weight to the difficulty re-target in the down direction.
2. We look at the N-factor of the block about to be hashed. If the current block about to be hashed is a high N-factor (i.e. on the top half of N-factor range), we also add an additional weight to the difficulty re-target in the down direction.
3. We look to see if the N-factor of the block about to be hashed is the maximum N-factor value it can be, and if so, we add an additional weight in the down direction.
4. Finally, we dampen the difficulty increases by capping them in a reasonable manner to avoid wild fluctuations in the upward direction should a particular sequence of 10 blocks be hashed much quicker than expected.

The difficulty re-targeting is unique and a little bit of a pain right now with spikes in the hash rate. However, it does work it out and is still super simple for someone to open a wallet and start mining Aptcoins.

Helpful Info:

Currently Aptcoin is CPU minable only. Mine directly from the wallet.
- There is also a stand alone CPU miner but it will need to be compiled - https://github.com/aptcoin/cpuminer

Exchange - YoBit (Price should be a lot Higher based on Coin Supply)

NEW Block Explorer - http://45.32.213.208:3002
(Donations: APT- APgkkrqV6aa7pntepmh5TERSVSJk1kxr74 BTC- 1LJgTxr6gn1y3vQKWSUDmvm7u3HR4MuNoH )

Aptcoin basics:

Project Started - August 2014
Current Coin Supply - 9.8 Million APT - No Premine
Max Coins – 42 Million APT
Block time – 5 minutes - This can be shorter or MUCH longer. This is the normal difficulty retargeting for Aptcoin.

THIS COIN IS DEAD - LAST GITHUP ENTRY WAS 3 YEARS AGO

No updates - no nothing since then !

This coin is NOT dead, just abandoned by the Dev. I've mined it since release. Everything works. Grin

I'll add a summary of helpful info and the address of the NEW Block Explorer soon.
