Topic: [ANN][CSC] CasinoCoin - The Premiere Coin for Casino Gaming | Kimoto Enabled! - page 35. (Read 290873 times)

I just created an account, deposited (went through quickly), made some bets and tried to withdraw but also experiencing issues. Also, I think I found a bug where if you select the 0.5 CSC bet and place it on the roulette table, it always appears as if you made a bet of 1 CSC.

Edit: Nevermind regarding the bug. It simply means # of coins placed to bet.

Ah yes, that would be good, I've downloaded some clients in the past that do do that and it's a nice addition.

As a good startingpoint for new casinocoinusers:

With the download of the new client, include instructions where to place a good casinocoin.conf file and deliver a good casinocoin.conf file  with all the nodes.

Instructions as:
1) install client.
2) startup client
3) close client
4) place the casinocoin.conf in C:/user/Appdata/Roaming/Casinocoin.
5) startup client and connect

Now when a newbie installs a client, some can't connect, because the casinocoin.conf is missing or casinocoin.conf has not enough working nodes. Some (most probably) don't know to place a .conf flie and where. It happens too often on this forum alone already.

1. Yes, if you keep the .casinocoin hidden folder the same
2. Just backup your wallet.dat file
3. ?

1) When installing the new client, it uses the old address at once? Not creating a new one first?

2) Is there anything to be done to minimize the risks of losing my coins?

3) As mentioned in the page before about the .conf-file:

Maybe there should be an instruction in the zip-file and a good working .conf-file delivered in the zip-file also, when dowloading the wallet.

A lot of newbies think that install of the wallet is the only thing to do. The .conf is important and forgotten most of the time or they use not the good nodes in the .conf.

So as some of you are aware, all alt-coins have faced an issue with multipools and the effects of poolhopping. These multipools mine the current most profitable coin, and when the difficulty kicks in at a higher level, the multipools move onto the next profitable coin, leaving the one that they just mined stuck at a high difficulty. This affects miners dedicated to the coin because they now have to expend more time and resources to mine the same amount of coins. This issue has affected CasinoCoin since the start, and more recently, community members have pointed this out to me and requested an update to address this issue.

@kwest came to me with a suggestion regarding Kimoto's Gravity Well. After some research, I concluded that this will be the way forward for CasinoCoin to address the issue of poolhopping. This algorithm was first implemented by Dr Kimoto Chan with Megacoin, and since then, the success of this algorithm has attracted other alt-coins such as Franko, AnonCoin and others.

Essentially, this algorithm adjusts difficulty after each block. So when a multipool drops off, difficulty is automatically adjusted as soon as the next block is found. This smoothens out difficulty and doesn't leave it hanging for long. Franko's successful implementation of Kimoto's Gravity Well has attributed to the mining stability of the coin, as well as the recent spike in value.

Here is a great read on the topic:
The Newbie's Guide to Kimoto's Gravity Well

This update will be available in CasinoCoin 1.1.0.x. It is currently being tested at the moment and will be available to download shortly after.

Dropping in for another update -- lots of progress since the last post!

The updated CasinoCoin client code has been written and has incorporated the latest Litecoin security features as well as QR code support. Most importantly, the issue with pool hopping that causes the CasinoCoin network to become stuck at high difficulty has been addressed in this upcoming update with the implementation of Kimoto's Gravity Well. Details about the Kimoto's Gravity Well algorithm in the post below.

I have done initial testing, and all basic features (ie. send, receive, solo mining, difficulty adjustment, RPC calls, QR code display, wallet backups/restore, wallet encryption, block re-indexing, etc) appear to be working fine. I will continue testing this evening and iron out a few things. In the meanwhile, the alpha version of the CasinoCoin 1.1.x client is available at the link below if anyone wants to review the source code and/or test out the update.

https://github.com/transcoder/CasinoCoin-Alpha
(this is for test purposes only -- the final source code will be available at the main CasinoCoin branch on Github)

Here is a link to the testnet blockchain that contains the genesis block in case any testers want to load it locally:
https://github.com/transcoder/CasinoCoin-BlockChain-testnet

As soon as testing is complete, I will build the Windows installer and Mac OS X client, and will upload the code and binaries to the main Github repository where everyone will have access to it. Soon after, I will coordinate with the exchanges, mining pools, game operators and sysadmins that are running the old version of the CasinoCoin wallet to let them know an update is available that requires a hard fork.

The hard fork is scheduled to kick in at block 230,000, which according to the block generation rate of the last 10 days, will kick in sometime in the middle of/late next week.

@ Matthew:

As it still is a problem for a lot of people to sync at once when they download the wallet, maybe there should be an instruction in the zip-file and a good working .conf-file delivered in the zip-file also, when they dowload the wallet.

A lot of newbies think that install of the wallet is the only thing to do. The .conf is important and forgotten most of the time or they use not the good nodes in the .conf.

I am syncing with 8+ connections, so this problem should not be a problem.

First priority should be sorting out the technical problems, the new wallet, something against multipools /gravity?/, advertising casinocoincity before it is just wasting the gunpowder in my opinion.

Just tried it.  It works.  Fantastic.  Well done.

Just the pool discussion, transcoder will have to add the cccity thread that's in the gambling section!

Did you put the link to the other threads in the OP?

Ok and very fast transaction!

This helped me sync my wallet.. thanks!!

Withdrawals now working!

Hey i never got my PM with Beta testing details?

Pools update from time to time. They usually are still running if the site doesn't load - I wouldn't be too worried, just check back shortly!

Anyone else having problems connecting to csc.hash.so ?

There is a bug with the withdrawals that will be fixed at some point today, and we still need to to add a password reset option. Mostly testing things at this point, trying to work out as many kinks before official launch announcement

I didn't go through the whole thread so that's why I missed it. Thanks I'm going to give it a shot!
