Fork pool's working well, whilst its a shame there's temporary problems with the original pool it's actually likely a good thing - mining will be split across more pools going forwards... Yet another improvement

Great there is another pool, although personally I think its much more exciting and fun to solomine Wink

Keep those grains coming...

I'm really glad with the positive feedback on the logo, thanks guys!

I didn't want to mess up the logo poll topic with a new version, but I made a few adjustments so it looks even better (higher resolution, and more prominent text when scaled). So I thought I just post it here ..

I also followed paladin281978's advice and changed the text to GRAIN - GRA - GRAIN - GRA .. etc. Ofcourse I can change it back. (Or for example change the grain field background if it's too complex, but that's of later concern ..)

Without white background or shadow

Can anybody explain why the pool at altminers.com is not finding any block since more than 3 hours?
not even the last found blocks get confirmed.

I noticed that too.

Time Since Last Block:3 hours 57 minutes 58 seconds

Something is messed up, stop mining there till its resolved.

pool may be stuck... may need a reboot. Coin network chain is fine.

fitsbach can you please check?

Also please vote for the GRA new logo at the poll thread:

Question though does anyone have any idea on how to price a new coin?

I would place fair market value at 1.20 USD per 10,000.

Lol actually i was wondering on how calculations are normally done...

I pegged the value on Litecoins. 1.20 USD per 10,000 Grains is the same returns you would get if you were mining Litecoins instead of Grains.

Seems like a good way to do it. I would say that they actually have to be more valuable than litecoins to be worth mining, though. I can turn around and exchange litecoins in 15 minutes, whereas there's a pretty good chance a brand new altcoin may never even make it to an exchange (or could have a fork, or the devs could abandon it, etc). If they're equal in value, why would anyone mine the way riskier option? I think that's a big reason why all the smaller alts are more profitable than BTC/LTC mining.

I'd say pre-exchange coins will always worth more than LTC if it goes to exchange (at least initially). This is like the pre-IPO stocks. Because some will never make it to exchange, they are higher risks thus higher reward.

Sorry for the delay, like I said it's been forever since I've touched Photoshop so I'm a bit rusty Roll Eyes

lol.

Probeer's coins look awesome, glad I could inspire someone to recreate that design. I've been working on another design that caught my eye, more options never hurt anyone Wink

lol.

Let me know what you like and don't like. I tried to make the gold realistic but can make it more yellow to reflect the "grain" aspect. I also had no idea what to make the background color so I just made it brown to help show off the gold rather than distract from it. I could also put something around the edge of the coin (text or what not) and/or change the texture of the gold. Just limme know.

Just for reference, for this design I took inspiration from these:

(top 3 grains)

Thanks to the simple design I was able to recreate it with simple shapes. As long as I don't have to draw I'm good to go lol.

awesome!

Hello all!

New to the forum and cryptocurrencies, and with a few hours of spare time on my hands, i decided to give the GRA logo a shot .. Hope im not too late? I am no photoshop professional, more of an amateur hobbyist, but still ..

Thanks to Maconi for the inspiration for the grain-thingy in the circle. I went with gold, perhaps not that original, but it kinda is the color of wheat/grain, and in my opinion it looked nicer then the brown from Maconi's picture A. Personally I also prefer the one with the letters over the one with the plain edge.

I am ofcourse open for suggestions, improvements, comments, etc. Let me know what you think, changes are no problem
