i can't find wallet for this coin...

There is no wallet yet.

Looks pretty interesting to me. Will be following the project!

Simple GPU miner - A simple AMD GPU miner that connects to a local daemon will be available before launch. In the future, proper getblocktemplate functionality will be enabled and pool software will be made available.

@decred, I would like to get some detailed clarification about mining.

First of all, why a new miner and why not support for pooled mining from the beginning?

There are already GPU miners available:

For AMD GPUs:

https://github.com/Griffitsj/cgminer-saffron/

Code:
cgminer --blake256 -o stratum+tcp://...

p.s.: this should be migrated to the newer sgminer, otherwise it's just fine

For NVIDIA GPUs:

https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer or https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer

Code:
ccminer.exe -a blake -o stratum+tcp://...

These two miners implements Blake256 algo with 14 rounds, the same as Decred is using. So mining software is already here, why not simply use it? Are you planing to make any changes in the algorithm (if yes, why?)? Or will these miners be able to mine on Decred out-of-the-box once pools are out? Also, are you planning to go some non-standard way or will Decred be fully compatible with the standard stratum protocol for pooled mining?

Thanks for the answers!

Still no clarification on this? People are asking about mining and it is still unclear weather existing cgminers/ccminers will be compatible with mining Decred.

So many questions regarding mining, supported miners, etc. and still no clarification. After all, this is a POW + POS currency, therefore mining should be well covered. Not good.

will the standard cgminer (blake256 compatible) will be usable to mine decred?
(like old cgminer used for blakecoin)
thks for your reply

I am not sure about that, but given that it is a completely new code written in different language, probably it will have different protocols, so i think that standard cgminer or sgminer won't work with decred daemon. Hashing is the same but the miner to connect to the daemon probably it will have to be forked and adjusted some minor things.

Yeah though so.
we'll wait for the patched miners so :-)

Looks like I didn't cut it for the airdrop, which I understand given my limited activity around here.  Cry

Anyhow stopping by to wish the project good luck, and I'll no doubt get my little pickaxe out once this launches so that I can get my hands on some, and will look forward to participating further. It's been a very long time since I last got excited about something new in cryptoland, and I really like how things are shaping up for Decred.

Please send me a PM on here or on the forum, so I can check what's going on for you. I encourage others to do the same if they think they didn't make the cut somehow. The purpose is to be inclusive, but given the sheer interest and activity, some mistakes are made. Please step forward and get in touch if you are unsure, so I can help. Also keep in mind that more invitation e-mails will be going out possibly early next week as soon as we catch up with processing applications from participants. You may be in later batches, but check to make sure you're good to go! And remember to whitelist e-mail from decred.org to make sure you don't miss it if it goes to spam.

You can always try to add a twitter account or any forum accounts related to crypto imho or mb even a linkedin account, the airdrop link label is titeled: "Online presence with reasonable activity"

I don't get it, how they could know I'm not linking an account that is not mine?

You can post something related from the account you're linking for them to know.

Absolutely, but sadly I have neither of those. I do have LinkedIn and a modestly followed Youtube channel, but as much as I appreciate the Decred team and their approach to privacy, I will most certainly not attach either of these profiles for the purposes of an airdrop.

All is well, there's certainly folks that will sell their airdrop coins at the 1st opportunity, as well as there's PoW to give everyone a chance.
I'm happy with my odds here, just eager to get to launch day! Smiley

A short delay is accepted, take the right time to make the airdrop the more perfect possible

I was just trying to correct a mistake, that's all. I know you were kidding but that article has been cause of speculation so i thought i will just try to get it corrected. No worries.

The OP says launch is the 18th of Jan.

That will be fixed. Thank you pointing it out and sorry for not clarifying explicitly in the thread. It's left as is for now, but once the airdrop is sorted, an assessment will be made about exactly where things are development-wise. Things are looking good, but Jan 18th is obviously unrealistic considering there will be testnet and miner binaries released one week prior to mainnet launch. Delays suck, but stability and testing take priority - goes without saying.

Its incorrect if not intentionally misleading & should be corrected i think. Its a big mistake to say bitcoin "core" devs left as it implies there are no old veterans believing in & developing bitcoins and they now believe in decred. I have seen many people taking advantage of such articles to profit by dumping on newcomers at sky high prices. This will only create more haters & be food for Fudders & troll. It will irreparably damage reputation of coin/devs as pump & dump scam.
