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.

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

Hmmm tried the weekend mining on rpool when i was AFK with both primeminer and jhprimeminer and after submitting several 10/11ch, hundreds of 8/9 ch and 1000's of 6/7ch i got exactly 0 DTC's... Now trying it on the specialized client build for Intel but this lack of a good pool, high difficulty for normal users and unclear info (what i see a lot with new alt coins (ex. unitecoin)) looks to me to keep others away from mining 
i'm not a n00b but it feels like this -> lets make it extra difficult for new users so we as foundation have a kickstart in coingeneration... this way clearly the foundation can say, we announced everything so its not a premine... but you get the point

I got your point. So here are answers.
1. Rpool looks like scam for many users, a lot of them complained about very low payouts. -> don't use DTC rpool.
2. Lack of good pool is not something that 'helps foundation'. Vice versa, it is not good for promotion, and we understand that. There are several miners now: original miner, Palmdetroit's miner (also released some weeks ago), jhPrimeminer (with mumus changes). You're free to create your own private pool - there are enough possibilities just now. Do you see many XPM pools? DTC mining has the same difficulties as XPM mining. Do you think that if it is so easy to get pools? Why there are only 3 XPM pools in that case (and rpool between them)?
3. 2 XPM pools (ypool and beeeer) declined adding DTC . So we need to do all this development from scratch. Main developer works at that. It will not take months, maybe days or few weeks.
If someone can provide me with some info, I'd continue with my experimentation.

Thanks for the fast response.
1. Good to know, but i figured out this myself after coming back from a nice holiday weekend with the girl. Heating my house when i was away with a few i5's and i7's and found a empty DTC wallet
2. True, a pool is not something the foundation is responsible for but if they want a proper and covered launch its more and more a must. i saw little bit same tactics with a cpu coin called Protoshares where the foundation bought themself in with ypool, pointed there massive botnet to ypool and had a 80% of total hashrate the first weeks running for their coingeneration ( this is ofcourse my own observation and no way i can get this black on white from their p.o.v.).
3. proper answer, thanks for the info. so lets see if we can get this solomining running on linux....

i like this idea and want some.
what are the recommended exchanges?
does anyone (with reputation, or you go first) wanna trade directly and spare the fees? if so PM me
greetings
Bter works well for me last days, and no complains from other members. what are the recommended exchanges?

I downloaded datacoin and was surprised to see the difficulty at above 9. I'm just wondering, is it possible to merge-mine this, or at least to re-use the cunningham chains from the Primecoin block chain? If it's possible, I'd say some clever person is getting a lot of blocks!
That's interesting, and I have been thinking about it also, if in the end DTC could be merge-mined with XPM that would be definately good for the coin, and that would also mean that both coins would share the same difficulty. I can't see a reason why the prime chains accepted by XPM couldn't be accepted for DTC, but they could be chained somehow in the blockchain.Let's wait and see.
Yeah, with the same difficulty and merge-mining it can be awesome union for both coins.

Hmmm, I'll address this question to main developer. But now blocks generation speed looks stable (near required 1 block per minute or less), difficulty stable too... Really, I need to clarify that with oocook5u. December 10, 2013, 05:48:20 AM

Datacoin is looking amazing and the price should be catching up soon! Good job guys
December 09, 2013, 08:05:54 PM
Definitely! Make a seperate thread
New thread for krypte.net , I have added the transaction history for the user so you don't have to take note of the tx ID when uploading data.
Would love some more feedback.

I think datacoin should consider adding in a low value of proof of stake to secure the network and compensate people for hosting the data, as a way of encouraging people who aren't able to mine but want to feel like they are helping.

Some DTC domains is down. We are moving the servers!

December 09, 2013, 09:07:54 AM
but at least is more easy to mine in comparison to primecoin right?
Yes, difficulty is less. DTC - 9.68422669 , XPM - 9.99257505 . Remember that difficulty is not linear, so difference is rather big. Jump to:
