What a waste, this coin showed such promise.

Seems to me a lot of these new coins go the same way - Developer claims he/she is moving house/broken legs/car accident etc etc

They clearly make their money at the start with the pre-mine, then disappear, stringing us mugs along for a while by drip feeding us with 'exciting announcements' and 'pending updates'

Big shame, I feel especially bad for the genuine people - Captain Hook to name one, who have tried their best Sad

You do know Captainhook was the only person with the premine and the person who got btc from IPO'ing premine? He also broke his leg when the coin was not doing so good. So maybe if you used your brains a bit you would realize the only winner here was Captainhook even though he was a small winner.

Do you think Captainhook is going to deliver on the scrypt to X11 change?

I hope Captain Hook can switch from scrypt to X11

As stated before , the coin is already tainted , I don't see the reason to put that much effort into it.
But again , it's the money and time you people invest in it , not me.

I also have some more bad news for everyone , I don't believe it is possible to switch from scrypt to X11 without resetting the blockchain, if Captainhook pulls this off then he can make himself a lot of btc as other coins will buy his expertise.

Why even bother changing the mining algo.. this coins has a few other problems .

At one stage I was VERY serious about taking over iCoin but now it looks to be a lost cause, it's become clear what was keeping this coin alive aslong as it was and that was the efforts of the iCoin team. I am also sad this coin did not make it, however if it makes anyone feel any better 90% of the coins have less use then iCoin, at least it's still on coinpayments.

I have just realised that this coin is full shit! Cool

You know, I've been watching, what's happened with all these crypto-shit-coins, and iCoin was one of them... These people created classic shit-coin. With premine and nothingnew.

You can say that name of the coin matters... Grin

LOL

Only whales that invest in coins matters. Nothing more. If someone will invest 10 BTC or more in this coin and will simulate 100 BTC day trade volume, everybody will notice this coin. And price will grow up.

But in current state this coin is worst shit. I said the truth about this coin.

I don't know if this is even possible to do, but is there a way to implement 'merged' mining using x11 and the darkcoin blockchain?

Parallex and Monocle have been able to do this for n-scrypt... merged mining with a more efficient code like x11 would be very popular and provide a very stable network.

Regular block halving is nice also to keep price up. Coins with no block halving for a long period tend to be dumped forever.

A personnalized innovative wallet like silkcoin is attractive also

Is it possible to add a variable reward system based on the network hashrate? Similar to the difficulty, the reward could be larger (starting at 50 coins and going all the way to 100 coins) is the network hashrate is bigger then a given value..

e.g.

0-10MHs => 50 coins per block
10-20MHs => 55 coins per block
...
>100MHs => 100 coins

This way miners would likely try attract more miners in order to try to maximize their gains...

Please enlighten me how will you do this , and apply it. Without messing up the coin for real.

are you asking conceptually speaking or programatically?

Darkcoin has a reward scheme just the opposite. The higher the difficulty becomes the reward is lowered down to a minimum of 5. I'd imagine you could look at the code for that to get an idea how something like that works.

I know nothing about coding but from a miners perspective it seems like its a good idea

Last two messages of people quitting don't really bring to much hope in

.

Lets hope the update changes things, I tried to give away some iCoin last night and there were no takers.

Have to wait and see what happens and if captainhook can rally the community.
