CoiLedCoin (CLC) can be traded on the Stellar network, see http://makemoney.knotwork.com/stellar/

Well the blockchain IS still moving, albeit slowly, and the players who use it have started thinking about starting a Civilisation whose currency it will be so that they can support it with the full backing of an actual "nation" in the game. I do not know how long it will take for the difficulty to adjust downward enough for the blockchain to move at a more reasonable speed, or for more hashing power to be applied to get it moving better, but players are not particuarly concerned about the slowness of the blockchain since most activity will probably take place on the HORIZON and Stellar platforms.

In my opinion, there is no point in pouring it into it.  The system is completely unfinished!

I notice an increase in nodes, not sure how many actual new users that is but several new nodes came online recently. Same with GRouPcoin.

It is certainly not a dead coin.

Chickens and eggs. No miners = no traction.

Especially around here, where every time a coin comes out that does not involve mining its announce thread starts accumulating compliants and scam-accusations!

Admittedly exchanges also give traction, but there are advantages to not being on exchanges, because regulators are more likely to question a game-currency's status as being "just a token used in games" if exchanges for it officially exist. (Notice that until quite recently most/all large MMORPGs forbade buying/selling game stuff for real money? Until a year or few ago some big name one put a real money market right into its game, likely after racking up oodles of expensive legal fees...)

Player groups such as guilds, parties, associations and such like GRouPcoin not just because it has GRouP in the name but also because it does not "officially" have exchanges to/from "real money"...

CoiLedCoin thus far has that same "niche advantage".

Hunter coin's merged mining in SHA256 never worked for me so I gave up trying to include it in my merge.

I've thought about running coiledcoin but it has no traction so I didn't. In the past adding a coin was painful since it required users to re-register to gain the new coin. But now I can take the approach I took with unobtanium and give miners a default address so it's possible. I'll give it some thought.

This and GeistGeld were why I had to run my own merged mining: because mmpool did not include them in its merge.

I used p2pool so as not to be solo-mining the bitcoins, but once I got KnC Neptunes I ran into problems, I could not get anywhere near the full hashing power out of my Neptune on my p2pool.

So I ended up using mpool, but still had half a terahash or so of hashing pointed at my p2pool in order to continue to get some coiledcoins and geistgeld.

Unfortunately I had not gotten around to trying your fixed coiledcoin until just now, when I had been forced to take down my p2pool because of a mandatory upgrade that refuses to work with ancient bitcoind. My whole merged mining setup was on third party servers that were still stuck on Fedora 17, long story. Could not build new bitcoind so cannot use new p2pool so end of merged mining for me for now.

It would be really nice if you could add coiledcoin to mmpool's merge. Even nicer would be if you could also add geistgeld. Heck even if you cannot have it do geistgeld full speed it'd be something, and maybe it would be possible to work out what really is the limit on block speed, since geistgeld was intended as an experiment to see how fast blocks could, in practice, be run. If geistgeld really is too fast then maybe what speed to slow it down to to make it practical could be worked out and it could be updated to that speed?

I am running your fixed coiledcoin right now on Ubuntu systems. I can build/run bitcoind on those so once I get all set up with all the coin daemons I will be able to run p2pool so that I can at least experiment with low hashing power. No one seems to know why my Neptune could not run at full speed pointed at p2pool but I can point some other hashers at it as I have been doing ever since my Neptunes started arriving.

I have attempted to apply rsnel's RAM usage fix. Repository is on github if you want to try it. It's the topmost commit. I've successfully downloaded the blockchain with it using a few hundred MB of RAM. I have not yet tried mining with it.

Edit: Tested merge mining, and mined about 10 blocks, it seems to work.

Can someone (Luke? Mark?) elaborate on the problem Luke described as a result of the attack? Are all blocks prior to Luke's attack invalid/unspendable, or is it just his blocks? How many blocks are we talking about?

I show the current block count as just above 400k, which is short of what it should be according to makomk's target.

My ram usage is about 7GB with this coin, doesn't really go higher than that. If I can figure out jaycoin's pool code, I'll put up a private pool so it can be merge-mined for anyone who wants coiledcoin.

This one is still running just fine.

I guess some day it, like all the merged mined coins, will be needing rsnel's RAM-usage fix that has already been applied to several of the merged mined coins, but so far it has been humming along nicely for years without it.

Has anyone actually tried the OP_EVAL thing?

Afterall enabling that so it can be tested was part of the purpose of this coin.

But that old software might not take hostnames, only raw IP addresses: 198.154.60.183 and 198.154.60.61

Anyone want to help me out with a few node IPs?

I am sure it all got taken down after the 51% attack.

where to download windows client, also any website for basic information, sha/scrypt

Seed node?  My client doesn't connect.

If an exchange took it, possibly, If not, probably not.

Does anyone see this coin possibly making a comeback>?

We really need someone to apply merged mining patches to bitcoin and make just that into a github repo.

Maybe all the merged mined coins could gang up to offer a multi-currency bounty for that or something?
