I still firmly believe in this coin.
It has many attributes that are desirable:
~~A dedicated blockchain for data - immutable thus uncensurable - plus can take the burden of data off of the Bitcoin network.
~~The Proof of Work is the Primecoin algorithm (GPU based - the people still control Datacoin).
~~Bitcoin origin (other types of data layers can be embedded in the blockchain because of this).
I believe so much in this coin that I'm mining it right now.
If anyone wants some FREE DATACOIN for developmental purposes, I'll GIVE you some.
Respond to this thread with your Datacoin address, or PM me here or Twitter or wherever.
I have plenty of Datacoin to get some action happening
Let's do this.
DataCoin is definitely a great coin with a lot of potential, a lot more than most others and I have seen some great projects written for DataCoin which could be applied elsewhere.
What are you mining with ?
Looking back on the thread it could really do with a post of all current services and services required, I'm willing to popup a few nodes (Like you have) and get a block explorer etc.
Indeed - The People need to adopt this coin - so much potential.
I'll do my part.
I'm currently mining on a R9 290.
I'm using windows 7, with all the updates in the .net series, plus running the most recent (as of today) Catalyst Control Center program to manage my GPU.
I'm using "dtc.graymines.net" as my pool.
The address to get the mining software is here -->
http://dtc.graymines.netYou'll need to configure your Datacoin address in the
"dtc.config" "config" file - and if you're using a different mining pool.
The program you run to mine is called "xpmclient" (it can be used for both Primecoin and Datacoin - depends on the configs).
I'll help maintain a hashrate that would require anyone who wants to mess with Datacoin to pack a lunch. On top of what I have, I also have some old Litecoin rigs that'd more than enjoy being activated
And yes, anything you and anyone can do should be done.
Block explorers are very important - as are nodes - anything to move Datacoin forward to a brighter day.
Mostly we need developers to adopt Datacoin, developers to Love Datacoin --- to pick out bugz, continue upgrades, and most excitingly --- create programs that layer on top of Datacoin.
Data on indelible blockchains is key for The People to thrive.
