y=x^2 is a parabola

Quote from: ZirconiumX on August 26, 2013, 03:40:03 AM

I have personally purchased a VPS to be used as a node. $4.05, paid in BTC. Over half the amount of BTC that I have mined. Undecided

Matthew:out

Thank you! Hopefully the coin will compensate you and get back your BTC! (open source devs never get paid, maybe this could be like DVC)

As for coding, would it be good to create a github repo and have forum members submit pull requests?

Crypto++ is a b---- to use.

Can anyone recommend an alternative that has the algorithms MARS, RC6, Rijndael (AES), Serpent, Square and Twofish?

Quick update for everybody: I'm currently working on a small benchmark so you can see roughly how fast your machines will be when they start hashing parabola coins. It isn't much, but it's better than nothing.

Matthew:out

As always.
Keep up the good work.

No algo is CPUonly, someone will definetly build gpuminer if the coin gets any enough flow. Quark allready has one, it just havent been released.

How has this worked out for Primecoin?
'nuff said.

Yet, atleast anything released. Its totally possible that someone has made one allready.
And what advantage you see in VPS clusters hashing this coin (Do you just happen to have idle/low usage clusters ar hand?)

Go for CPU only and ask for help as you will need it.

Thanks! Matthew has proposed the new algos, will they be CPU only?

I cannot guarantee that. If scrypt, which is very memory intensive (GPUs are rubbish at that sort of thing), can be ported to the GPU, then it's most likely only a matter of time.

Quote

Also, I would like to make it sort of devcoins-like, where the developers get a certain percentage (like 1%), rather than premine, for extra services after launch. (E.g. Is it possible for every 99th block to have double the amount of coins, but 1/2 goes to the devs for bounties and 1/2 goes to the miner)

I can try for you, but no guarantees. Heck, I've never really looked at the source code before...

Once more, I would like to thank everyone for their support!

Sounds good! But dont abandon the coin when you determine it is a hard job! Grin

How about a bit more on the specs?

Semi-scarce, block reward will probably be a random amount between 2 and 6, but there will be a bonus "square" block. (Parabolas). e.g. Instead of 2 you would get 4, instead of 6, 36, etc.

We will try to implement a primecoin-like proof of work scheme (hashing parabolas with complex solutions, etc), or it will just be a sha256 or scrypt coin.

If you have something to bring to the table just PM!

Go for a CPU coin, not sha or scrypt.
Also fix your english.

I have proposed to x² that we use Twofish, Rijndael and Serpent in a Quark-like style (Quark seems to have used SHA-3 candidates) to at least be different.

.4btc and you have your source and windows qts in about an hour or two. Pos, pow whatever you want.

CPU only? I think it can easily be done with some tweaks to the quark code or something.

Also what about Mac binaries? I only work on linux.

Someone will do them. PM me when you have a solid base to work off.
