The official airdrop is nearly 2 days

And I believe the price drop is due to Hearn's statement and Cryptsy's bankruptcy

For those that just registered airdrop, there probably a Batch 3 (hoping this is true and ppl stop commenting about not getting emails).

We are at least 10 days before launch.

However you are still free to consider it a coincidence or conspiracy. Grin

Regardless, I do have a hankering for tacos.

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.

While I would like official clarification as well I was under the impression the newer(est?) versions of CCMiner support 14 round blake and therefore (at least as far as Nvidea cards are concerned) wouldn't it de facto mean that yes, ccminer DOES support mining Decred? or am I way off base here?

I did not get my verification email , it told me that i am signed up for the airdrop , no email however.

Been watching this from the begining. are you guys sure that Blake is the best choice? This algo makes mining profitable just for GPU miners

14 round blake-256 is 14 round blake-256. The answer should be yes. Wait for the official answer though, I don't want to mislead anyone.

Glad to see the discussion about mining algorithims that I partially started took full form,

For this I feel Blake is good as an introduction for the many,

But as we progress, in order to invite even more miners, we should focus our efforts to develop an algorithm for all if there is enough consenus by the Decred blockchain. (CPU miners, GPU, ASICS, etc)

Looks like the world is ready for Decred. The latest bitcoin drama is a testament to this fact.

If BTC had decentralized governance built in to the blockchain, it wouldn't have lost itself as it has recently.
