Well I was mining Tag and it has forked twice with lots of orphans. The CSC pools I was bitching about seem pretty good now lol!

I'd be willing to set up the server, do hosting, make the website, all that stuff I can do. What I can't do is provide the CSC integration to the website.

I have been mining CSCs for the last couple of weeks with pretty much all I had. I believe that crypto currency would be a fantastic thing to gamble with. (Isn't that what we all do on cryptsy, btc-e, MtGox etc.? Initially I thought that the devs would try to push the coin onto existing casinos, but I don't seem to see much discussion about this these days. In my opinion, if the devs are understaffed, it seems inefficient to try creating a successful casino from scratch. I'm just wondering if http://www.cubeia.org/ (open source versions available) could be used as a starting point in case you really want to go this path. It seems to offer a nice framework and a very solid base for user management and a game api etc.

But for a much quicker launch something like http://whitelabelcasino.com/ seems a possibility to me. You can try their framework and games for free, you can even make some money from that free version. (They want to keep ~65% of the profit in that case, but that's still better for starters than to let the coin and all the investments go to waste.) I don't know if they would allow crypto currency (I contacted them to ask today. I'll report back if I get an answer), but the pro version allows you to write your own back-office stuff. So it seems possible. Their business model seems to be based on a large profit share but small upfront cost. Since they provide most of the heavy lifting for you a ~50:50 profit split seems quite fair to me. However, what they really expect is that you can show existing casino traffic. Is anyone here in the business of actually running a casino (virtual or B&M)?

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with cubeia or with whitelabelcasino. I'm actually not even much of a gambler (besides trading/investing.)

Since not everyone monitors the Casinocoin pool thread there is an important code change to the Casinocoin p2pool source. Please update to the latest source on github:

I'm happy with the prices, bought more than 20000 today 

Which nodes do you have in the casinocoin.conf file? I have 3-8 connections with the wallet most of the time.

hi

i cant update my wallet!
is there problem on the wallet?

I agree with you. No "a" in the logo. The current logo is good as it is. Very good indeed. The posting was meant as brainstorm, because some didn't associate the logotext with casino. And as you say, the design for the site is also very promising.


Welcome, welcome. I would say a big YES. Transcoder or Casinocoin will react on this, I suppose.

Great post... I hope they will accept your help. I think it's very important to see some more development from the devs. There's not much happening the last few days and the price is getting very low at the moment. I just bought some more CSC, since I believe in this coin.

Devs, can you give us an update about what's going in? When will the Casino be released? Looking forward to an answer. Thanks!

I'm a newbie here - but have been following CasinoCoin and this thread for some time.

This coin has HUGE potential.  Please don't put that 'a' in the logo.  The original logo is simple, and means what it means to those remotely interested in casinos and gambling.  I have a background in internet marketing and design, and think maybe i'd like to do more to help.  The community seems great, and i'm loving what i'm seeing day by day.  The designs for the site looks pretty damn good too.

I do think it's hugely important for CasinoCoin to have a presence everywhere - FB, G+ at LEAST.  G+ could in fact be very useful to this community for putting teams together who are working on the different parts of the project.  I guess i'm volunteering to create a G+ page, but would of course need to be provided with graphics, information, links etc in agreement with the devs.  God, there should at least be a basic page there, so let me know if you want me to do it,  I'll then rally the troops to follow the pages on G+ AND FB.

I friend of mine is also considering working with me on some CasinoCoin games.  We reckon this could have an amazing future.  It has the right image and name, which just can't be bettered, this gives us a great opportunity - I mean - have you seen the names of some of these coins?  How will they last in the real world?  what are they for?

Congrats to everyone that's working so hard on this. Cheers to success - even if the value has bottomed out today!

Hi!

csc.hash.so was my first pool, so I have been extensively looking at the block find rates and trying to improve things. Currently we have 106.99% for the past 24 hours, and adjusting for orphans it rises to 110.5%, which isn't great, but I think overall it's probably close to the maximum even for solo miners. Obviously solo mining is a little bit more efficient do to the fact that you cut the miner->pool latency, that's why it is important to connect to the closest stratum server there is (if the pool offers multiple servers to choose from).

As for the efficiency, I have seen a cycle that repeats:

* Difficulty rises
* Miners move from CSC to more profitable coins
* difficulty drops, and coin becomes more profitable again
* Crazy amount of miners move over to CSC
* Block time drops to 15-20 seconds, orphans increase and efficiency drops.
* Diff retarget takes a while (720 blocks) and during that time everyone will have a bad time
* Diff rises, and block time rises to 40-45 seconds, because miners move away to different coins.

The 50% thing doesn't help, or break things in regards of efficiency, but it's important that no single pool holds more than 50% of the hashing power. My pool comes close to this at some times, but normally it only has about 30-35%

Thanks for the  update. I'll hold. 

That is an interesting conclusion. I am running for little over a month now and if i look at the block find over that period it is now at about 115%. If i look at the biggest pools like csc.hash.so and csc.dedicatedpool.com they are too high as well. So you are right in that in general it is too high and should be lower. How do solominers perform? Do you guys have high percentages as well? In that case, what could be wrong with the network? I can imagine that if one pool gets too big (50% or more) that it will hurt other pools as well moving all miners in the end to one pool which is NOT good. So i stay with my previous suggestion, either all big miners (hash power of 5MHash or more) do solo mining or they spread out their hashpower over all available pools to flatten out block find percentages and make the network more stable.
 

Hey all, so I'm making a pool for csc. I have MPOS set up on a Ubuntu VMware server and it's running, signed up for a account on my site (all on the local network of course) made my worker and pointed my miner to the site. However at that point the miner (cgminer) just sits there doing nothing (this is on the testnet) not connecting to the site. If I change the url slightly in the cgminer config it will yell at me that there's an issue with the address, however if I leave it normal it will just sit there without doing anything till it automatically shuts down due to inactivity. Anyone know what I need to change in my setup to get this working? I can livestream myself as I work on it if you want to chat about it. Though I'm going to sleep right now so see ya in about 8 hours.

Over the last week I've attempted to use my contacts in hopes of ultimately adding software developers for the CSC project. Between the traders I've previously purchased/sold BTC from, I was able to get a few developer's numbers to start with. My family and peers have been good resources as well, but there's plenty of people I've yet to reach out to.

The focus of my conversations centered on crypto and being involved with CSC. It's been a fun experience; there's enjoyment from spreading crypto awareness, at the same time people are curious about what I'm stocking my portfolio with. Some that I talked to in Orange County and Los Angeles, California are involved in their own projects, a couple even writing crypto programs. One thing I was happy about was that devs I spoke with gave me the time to elaborate on CSC; they sounded genuinely interested in learning more about it. I tried to answer their questions the best I could, and I've directed them to the BTCtalk thread. From the reactions, I've received warm receptions towards CSC; realistically of course we need more development for casino games. I know we have some guys working on programs now, maybe we can display those projects to prospective devs so it would garner more interest?

Well, I'm beginning to put more time into this daily. Admittedly I've been in crypto for only about a month, and my knowledge on programming/software development is limited. I take pride in the opportunity, though. I completely understand that most if not all of the people I speak to will not be able to invest in CSC. There's a lot of risk starting up in a volatile market, though I think those whom have played an online gambling game will look at it more optimistically. We need more involvement from our current investors as well! I would encourage anyone interested in a CSC future to at least chat up your family and friends about your investment and what its status is now.

I'm not saying "If everyone chips in a dollar", but let's bring something to the table - even just a chat with a family member or a friend on CSC may take you to the next person to help out the community!  

Yes It should average out, I'd be happy at 110% block find rate, but huge swings over 24hrs don't seem right, especially when those swings carry on for more than 24hrs and are always in the negative. I just looked at block percentage totals for three CSC pools, all are between 140% and 180%, indicating much longer than expected average block find times. I know that is over a very short time frame but that is indicative of the actual payment I was getting over longer 24hr + windows. I was on one pool for approx 72 hours before I realized I was wasting my time there.

Without going to every CSC pool to find one that has a block find time least 110%, I'm assuming something is wrong with the hash/diff/block payout or something. If it is all attributed to coin hoppers then fair enough but a real shame.

As a comparison the pool I am on now, mining a different coin, (that has a larger hashrate but still has +- 25% diff swings) the pool is at 102% block find percentage now and paid roughly 100% of expected coins for 2 weeks straight with only minimal daily payment swings, and has been since I last posted in this thread. I think the coin retargets diff every 4 mins.

Edit: BTW if you see GhettoMiningCo pop up, that's me.

i use dedicated pool and i was usually #5-#8 and now I am #2 after badbrains who is #1


@casinocoin - any eta when you will be sending the pm's? you may have said it but i must have missed it

I'm still in. In fact I just added some more hash to the network this week with a few more mh/s to top it off next week. Hang in there, miners!

Good to hear Jakiman.

As far as it goes, I'm getting about 80% return from mining on a pool compared to what I would have gotten mining solo, so yeah, the pool can thank me for about 20% excess coinage. Hash.so, best pool.
