It'll take me 3 weeks to get one at current rates!

It's not easy to mine, but I have a few now. PM me your address and I'll send you one. Not a "giveaway," just a one-off favor.

ARS is difficult to mine because of the slow blocks and 200 confirmations required.
An easy way to start is to use Miningpools.tk

Just for the record, Blocks 2 through 8 (7 blocks total) contain 400 ARS each.  It seems 2.800 ARS were premined in these blocks.
A 2% premine (4.000 ARS) was claimed in the opening paragraph but I can't find the last 1.200 ARS.

I'm buying ARS on Palth.net exchange, the last exchange to host ARS.  I am offering 200 sats (which is double what was offered before Aug 25). I will mine ARS for a little so you can move your coins to Palth.

If you are generous dump them on me free at AYPASkMmundH88rB8kfWPseMvjkgAjDoNw.

I think this coin could have made it as a novelty if the dev had not vanished with the huge premine.  Now Bitonyx exchange has vanished, and so has all their ARS and other coins.

The blockchain is in good shape.

The best ARS pools I am aware of are:
http://miningpools.tk/getting_started
http://pool.webcoin.us/ars/

Webcoin pool seems to not be updating their charts.  MiningPools.tk is delivering mined ARS coins to me.

A blockchain explorer is still up at http://pool.webcoin.us/ars/statistics/blockchain

that is interesting about the tolkien tie-in being fatal to a coin.  I am curious however if there will be any renewed interest when the movie comes out this summer lol Cheesy

Unfortunately it seems to be a truism that any coin with a Tolkien tie-in is doomed ...

Just a quick info: We will remove the pool and the block explorer in one week, if there is no further development.
Reasons: ANN not updated, dev seems to be gone for good.

I think this has got potential.. its hard as hell to mine..  gives the Sha world something to dig their teeth into..

it requires patience..  it isn't going to PoS to infinity.. i rented some rigs & hammered it with 950gigs for 12 hours & got 3.

and its only on block 1229 atm with a difficulty just under 2mill.. that was at 1.5mil..

its only going to get harder.. hence the rarity.. so dust off those miners fellow crypto enthusiasts.. there's a new coin err stone to be

mined.. for a long time to come.. .. after all.. the Dwarfs didn't mine the first one in a day...

“But fairest of all was the great white gem, which the Dwarves had found beneath the roots of the Mountain, the Heart of the Mountain, the Arkenstone of Thrain.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

So what's going on in the Arkenstone world?

Went live last night with a private pool, the NSS Arkenstone Pool, (what a frellin' challenge), I have mined some Stones with it already too!



It took my Windows trained arse seven frellin' days to get the NSS Pool alive. Ubuntu was a bit of a learning curve after 16yrs as a Windows Senior Field Lead~ My keyboard was all......go ahead type "apt-get install" one more frellin' time...I dare ya'. But it's up and running and for me, Ubuntu is some nice script...., Ubuntu has seemed to tame the learning curve a bit.

Back to the Stone, The Arkenstone! Anything new? I really would like to see a formal website. I have some power to throw at ARS, so give me some new news.

Am I the only one getting a virus alert from the "arkenstoned.exe" file?
Bitdefender antivirus flags it, and automatically deletes it. Not sure what to make of it.


I get the same thing too.  Avast says it's infected with Win32:Malware-gen.  It just deletes the infected "arkenstoned.exe" file, and the wallet seems to run fine without it. 


http://www.im-infected.com/trojan/win32malware-gen.html


Anyone have any suggestions as to whether or not it's worthwhile to mine a coin who's developers added a virus into the package?  I know just like University Coin this is one I won't touch.


Cheesy No virus into the package. Almost all coins have a problem with antivirus programs.


Have to disagree with you big time on that one.  I've got 191  wallets installed on my computer, Arkenstone is one of only 3 I've had virus warnings for.  There's no reason for a false positive.  I'm not a super expert or anything like that, but I can't think of why a cryptocoin would set off a virus flag unless it's infected. 


Please, check the source code and make new daemon and qt wallet. Everything will be the same.


Are you serious?  Why on Earth would I ever do that?  If my AV found a virus in your wallet, why on Earth would I ever want to build it myself from the source code?

You built it, put a virus in it, then disseminated it throughout the community.  And when I point out there's a virus in it, you first try to excuse it as a false positive which makes no sense because for it to be a false positive you'd have for some inexplicable reason added the signature of a virus to the file........? 

Then you suggest I build it myself from the source files?  Are you fucking kidding me?

So I catch you spreading a virus, and you try to deflect from that by asserting the problem is on my end because I didn't build the wallet myself from the source files?  You're the dev, so it's on you to disseminate a working and virus free version of the wallet.  It's not the responsibility of someone who's interested in mining your coin to build the wallet themselves if they want to mine the coin without their computers being damaged.

I've almost six years experience working in collections, and I know plenty about hacking and building viruses.  So I can smell your fallacious rhetoric from the onset. 

The correct thing to do would have been to remove the link to the infected file, replace it with a working and non-infected version of the wallet, and to apologize to the entire community for putting their computers at risk.  Instead you attempt to patronize me with nonsense and fallacious assertions.

You're fucking ridiculous.

Please, find another coin to troll !!!
