What is forging, is that like staking?
i think so but there is no indicators for stats, no network weight or difficulty as far as i can tell, so you might forge/stake forever and get nothing because the difficulty might be to high and you will never know.
@Dev, can you shed some light on this please
Dear users, to forge you have to manually start the forging with the passphrase (the indicator turns to green). All the info about the the network you can find in the blocks page of the client and in details of the block by clicking on it (base target, cumulative difficultu etc). About forging difficulty this is a tricky question. At the moment we are forging with the only address "DIR-R9LL-XZ9S-T8HU-FML6P" to ensure to find a block per minute until the numbers and the stake of DIRA's users become big enough to find blocks regularly. It's only day two of DIRA so users had barely reached the confirmation of 1440 blocks and effective balance for forging (that is the balance after 1440 blocks) is still not sufficient. We are giving through the mining a lot of DIRA in order to give the opportunity anyone to forge as soon as possible and deactivate the forging on our address (the difficulty of the block is calculated every 2 blocks so soon it will go down). In the meantime our advice is to collect as many as DIRA you can so you can improve your forging power. The rewards of mining will regularly decrease in time in order to not inflationate the coin so this is the perfect time for mining.
PS You can even create "Forging pool" with the leasing of balance, but we'll make a FAQ to cover this and other aspects.
Will this be tradeable on exchanges?
As I said above, this is only DIRA's day two so we have still a lot of work to do prior to make application to an exchanger. We think that is better for DIRA to wait at least the mid Q2.
I don't mean to be a muppet here, devs, but it kinda does depend on you ... it's a pretty bad experience to kill cpu mining a few hours after launch because of network issues ... move to a better host with better server then. This is frustrating! NOT everyone wants to sit and manually calculate!
We want to be clear about this. DIRA isn't and won't be a coin just to be mined by a rig or similar and sold. If your main target is to sit down and let your hardware make you rich you really misunderstood the reason of DIRA itself. Alternatives mining (CPU and GPU) will always be marginally to the BrainMining that is the main feature we strongly are focused in. Anyway, in order to accomplish every user we'll work to make a good service even for how many doesn't want to BrainMine but, it will always be a lot less profitable than BrainMining.
