Updated OP

BLC is still going strong 10 years on

most of the chat is on Telegram/Discord, lot of changes to exchanges this year but the whole Blake ecosystem is supported on Xeggex and CryptoRadar

Still have Multiple Pools either official or zpool as above

other development works are still ongoing changed game engine to Godot 4 no major news on game side still wip

Hi,
We've added Blake (BLC) to http://zpool.ca/algo/blakecoin. See below for connection details.

Fee only: 1% or less
BTC payouts are processed once a day for balances above 0.0015
Payouts for all other currencies are made automatically every 4 hours for balances above 0.05 and balances more than 0.0125 are included in one of the payouts each day.

- Sample configurations -
To mine blakecoin and get paid in BLC:

Exchange to BTC:

All of our ports are NiceHash friendly, no need to specify any extra details

SSL/TLS is available for all ports. Simply prepend the port with a 5. Example for blakecoin: 55743

Hello, I am testing blake with nicehash and I have 100% rejection rate. Where can I ask for support to check what is the reason?

Thanks, Jan

I just want say something .............................................something

Hey,
I was just curious to see what is new about Blakecoin, and I see this topic is kind of dead... however, Blakecoin is not, it's alive but people don't seem to be interested in it. Good to see the first post is still up to date and I was a bit surprised there is an exchange that supports the Blake family of coins.
Is there anything new, any plans for the future...?

To six years of dedication      'thank you sir for everything you have done & are still doing 

- patience will achieve more than force

Happy Bday Blakecoin still going strong 

have a new wallet build in the works should be released next week or so

still working on games for blakezone.com but progress been kind of slow atm

Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it.  I haven't had time to get it working but I will report back when I get a chance.

I am just re-using 2 ztex to re-learn fpga's again.  Thanks again.

try: https://blakecoin.org/cgminer-3.1.1-blake-fpga-ztex.7z

but do be aware we have reasonable efficient asic's (baikal giant b 168.5GH/s ~250w) on the network doing the blake256r8 algo we use so long term not sure I would recommend fpga's in 2019 unless its to reuse/learning   

BlueDragon747, Kramble's bitstreams and modified cgminer for the ztex 1.15y are not available for download anymore on his github, do you happen to have a copy of them?  I have 2 of the ztex and I'd like to give merge mining a shot first rather than try Amaveo.

Of course, I was just looking at the trees and not the forest by just focusing on the license and not the content of their requirements.  Obviously, I agree that NO crypto developer should be responsible for losses on exchanges or and I firmly disagree that developers or ANYONE should be "propping up" an exchange just because volumes are lower. 

An exchange should function because it exists and unlike fiat currency there is a very low storage cost compared to a huge limited-volume bank vault for currency that aren't moving as much as more actively traded currencies.  In fact, the exchange , like in the real world with normal paper-money exchanges should be trying to move the currency that they have even if that involves a discount.  Fobbing it off on the developers or anyone else is frankly a conflict of interest by the way that I see it.

Of course, that and an X amount in your local currency will buy you a coffee.

Bottom line is Blakecoin devs are not responsible for losses on exchange for Any reason

this is still beta software same goes for BTC thats why I point out the MIT licence that this project uses which is in conflict with what they have asked for in 5. *so in other words they are asking something that goes against Blakecoin's MIT Licence

the MIT licence is pretty open they could use the code they could run mod core wallet(Mt.Gox style) but its at their risk as per the licence its not the liability of Blakecoin devs!  

if a network issue was to happen no way will we be forced to rollback tx/block addresses or change the blockchain over an exchange, of course we would try and resolve issues but thats not same as being held liable for losses which just seems crazy especially as we all know how much risk is involved and how much of an attack surface exchanges are

2. is common as muck most exchanges have min vol requirements and as said to me "its just business" but its also why the vol on almost all exchanges is bit bs and some times just pure manipulation as often its built into the listing "Deal" requirements needless to say Devs dont get 0% trade fees on Any exchange we pay same as everyone else!!!!

what some of these exchanges want either extreme high listing fees or odd rules/requirements kind of makes it a deal breaker we still ask and check the details but some are just no go, others might be wait off until we have more organic growth to support the vol

anyways keep an eye out and let me know if you see any others will get them checked out and an application in if suitable  

I am not in a position to critique any crypto exchange for a variety of reasons but I personally dislike abusing a open-source license.  If they wanted to hold crypto developers accountable then they should have used a different license or even closed sourced it.  Of course, that would mean that they would have code a large portion of their core software since they wouldn't be able to use some or most open-source for it.

Obviously they could use open-source for infrastructure components but their core software either couldn't be or they would have to find a license that was open-source and just allowed for damages.

some of NOVA listing requirements


we have been looking into other options before the issues with Cryptopia and some other options since but tbh I dont think NOVA with its terms is practical option but the more exchanges putting out this type of offer the better  

mail from nova:

"Dear Cryptocommunity,
We've recently been reached by the news that Cryptopia Exchange is going out of business due to the severe damage that they faced earlier.
It is sad to hear that a fellow competitor of ours is facing these problems since all competition is good for crypto.
Cryptopia as a company has been around for many years, providing excellent trading, service and a healthy ecosystem for the cryptocurrency community.
In order for the communities to survive, especially the ones being traded only at Cryptopia, we at Nova Exchange would like to offer our help in order for the ecosystem(s) to grow, and offer free listing for all coins that were listed with Cryptopia.
The only condition for the free listing would be the following:
1: We receive the listing application before 1st of June 2019 through this form
(please specify Cryptopia Free Listing under payment options)
2: We ask their developers to add in the extra comments, addresses that they know that belong to the hackers.
This will ensure that we do not facilitate money laundering from people that are responsible with actions that are not in the favor of the cryptocurrency community.

Have a great cryptoweek,
Team Nova"

good chance to list on next exchange

Wired published an article about using blockchains and cryptocurrecnies in purchasing in-game assets.  I pointed that BlueDragon has been working on that for over 5 years and the link to Blakezone and to this forum thread.

The article is probably paywalled but it currently here https://www.wired.com/story/blockchain-turning-in-app-virtual-goods-assets/  I hate paywalls but I get Wired for work.

the open source version for blakecoin (bitstream and project + cgminer + patches is on github) does ~1500MH/s and uses ~ 22w "on a Enterpoint Cairnsmore 1 Quad Spartan-6 LX150 Development Board" since 2013-2014 hmm  

your version is:
locked to veopool.pw which has 2.9% pool fee?

binary cgminer miner has 4% dev fee? no source code for cgminer or including the licence?

not related to this thread apart from probs using opensource code without any licence or credit for all the other people that worked HARD on it  


 

Awesome sir, I will check it out when I get some free time  

Will be nice to see them doing something again  

Thanks,

Hi,

I have released new Amoveo miner for old Cairnsmore1, Icarus/Lancelot and ztex 1.15y FPGA cards. If you have these boards from the old bitcoin/blake256 mining times , you can mine Amoveo with hashrate:

ztex 1.15y: 1600 MH/s
cairnsmore1: 1500 MH/s
Icarus/Lancelot: 760 MH/s
