Topic: [ANN][APT] Aptcoin★ASIC Resistant Scrypt In-Motion(NM) w/Aptcurve Retargeting - page 13. (Read 56746 times)

Are any other exchanges on the horizon?

Dev,Could we have a stand-alone miner?
Build-in miner is not efficiet.

Is this coin dead?

Just a quick update that the fork appears to have gone through without any issue.  We will of course continue to keep an eye on the network.

Please make sure you're upgraded to the latest wallets!  The block at which we hard fork is coming up -- likely in < 24 hours.

APTcoin now trading at Cryptex

Also don't forget to vote for us on AskCoin.net! We're currently listed as the first coin to be listed Tuesday morning at 04:00 UTC. Lets make sure Businesscoin doesn't run ahead anytime soon.  

We've finally come out of our extensive testing phase with a new difficulty re-targeting algorithm called AptCurve (the whitepaper in the OP has an updated Appendix with details).  Most coins have similar PoW algorithms, but since ours is novel and unique, it has very different characteristics than anything else out there -- meaning that no existing algorithm for re-target was making sense for this coin.  Since we've just developed a new algorithm, we're not saying it's perfect, but we believe the idea behind it best suits our PoW at this time.

In order to launch this, a hard fork in Aptcoin is implemented at block 10,000 and this wallet upgrade is MANDATORY.  The forum user 'radus' first recommended this block number because it will be coming up in the next 6-7 days from now and we agreed that it's a fair amount of time to have everyone upgraded.  A special thanks to those that responded in addition to 'radus', including 'Singman33', 'Spidercoin', and 'woot'.

For now, upgrading will feel no different than the wallet that you're running.  At block 10,001, AptCurve will kick in, although it may take a few blocks to accurately find its center and be the most effective.

Please update NOW with the new wallets linked in the OP (version 0.9.0.2).

And Thank You, to all of the brave crypto-currency pioneers.  We are here in this grand experiment together.

I will mark my calender!

That should work out well.  Thanks!

Cool, cant wait to check my client and see something other than 13 all the time 

Agree for block# 10000.

7 days sounds good to me also.

How about block #10,000 ? Should be in roughly 7 days from now.

Quick update: We've been testing the new re-target and things are appearing good here on testnet.  The real world is of course different than test environments, but we're wrapping up our testing and are looking to release a new wallet soon.  The question we're debating is which block to start the new re-target on since it's a hard fork.  We're assuming the people watching this forum are the majority of the people running wallets, so we wanted to get a gauge of how long it would take to get everyone updated.  We're guessing about a week, but could be convinced to go a shorter time (~4 days or so) given that there are no known pool operators that might be the most likely to create a competing chain.

Anyone want to comment?

I will provide my link for already compiled cpuminer, but dont spam it : http://singman.no-ip.biz/download/minerd-apt.zip
Tell me you have any problem with it.

Yes and no.

You can find the CPU Miner here, but you need to compile it yourself.

still no standalone miner yet?

Don't count on it

Are there any bounties available?
