GreekBitcoin try to open an account at digitalocean and let it run, there is a very good guide for mining and youll get some blocks for sure.

I have a question for the community, I have mined 3 blocks so far, but they are all immature. Will they become mature some time? Or are they orphans? One has already 3000 confirmations

Hi! I am running the wallet, but am not mining. Any idea why?

{
"blocks" : 97476,
"chainspermin" : 0,
"chainsperday" : 0.00000000,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 9.75278896,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : true,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"primespersec" : 0,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"sieveextensions" : 9,
"sievepercentage" : 10,
"sievesize" : 1000000,
"testnet" : false
}

You need some minutes after you start wallet, then primespersec should change to non-zero value

Can someone help me understand how to solo-mine with the cpu.

Do i just simply open the datacoin-qt.exe and it automatically starts mining?

I also put in the console:

setgenerate true -1
getminigninfo

console telling me im getting 513 primepersec.

Thanks for any help, i'm new to this and its hard to find resources.

Yes, if you're getting non-zero primepersec, you're mining

Ok great, thanks.

That's rpool no doubt, because my wallet address on it and I'm mining in rpool.

Thanks for confirming.

These may be dumb questions from a technical perspective, but I'm going to ask them anyway:

1) Would it be possible to alter Datacoin so that old files could be deleted when they are no longer needed? This could be effective for lowering the size of the blockchain.

2) Would it be possible it update files in the blockchain in the future? This would be useful for simple notepad-esque files where you just want to keep a Todo list or Evernote type files synced in the blockchain.

I'm really looking at Datacoin as a DAC for cloud storage. I know there has been mention of "personalized chains", but I'm not sure how those would possibly work. Would the same Datacoin/KB rates apply on these personalized chains? Would these personalized chains create a situation where Datacoins would be less valuable on those personalized chains?

Sorry for all the random questions. Just trying to see what will be possible with Datacoin. It seems like the best new coin around right now. I think any of the new coins that will be able to compete with Bitcoin will have to be DACs, and that's definitely the case with Datacoin.

We really need a public pool for this coin. Someone has been quietly mining with a small pool for a while now. An example is:

http://www.chainbrowser.com/datacoin/block/9aad979fdd8b9e66723b689a63c31e065a22d4eb84671b7bb1a7e04d5bac9690/

I think that it is not pool, but couple of VPS instances pointed to one.
Main difficulty with pool is implementing some protocol for avoiding cheating, so it's not such easy as with scrypt coins. But you can start your own 'pool' with your friends where no one will cheat

BTW - thanks for block explorer one more time!

no, this dosnt work. if you point multiple miners to a getwork rpc, all blocks found will end up just as if its solo mining.

Yes, my fault, of course. I was just thinking about some kind of private p2pool, so was in mess with that.

p2pool hasnt been modified (yet) for XPM/DTC Sad

If this is true there should still only be one output for the block reward correct? I have multiple miners pointed to one wallet and only see one output. I remember the split block reward being an extra feature of some pools some time ago.

I have released a full featured blockchain explorer for Datacoin here:

http://www.chainbrowser.com/datacoin/

I still have some features that I am working on, but it was finished enough that I thought I would share it with the community. If anyone has any suggestions or critiques please let me know and I will see what I can do to add or rectify them.

If you want to support further development and server costs, please help by sending DTC to DR3WjxiK7BaGRsNAZL1rNN26ojYaVGbSoG

Nice work! I sent you a 5 DTC donation.

I really like the fact that this coin is based on Primecoin's proof-of-work system rather than SHA256 or scrypt. Besides the obvious benefit of actually doing some useful work, no GPU/FPGA/ASIC mining means the threat of centralization is less significant.
