Nice to see that the community is still standing behind this project and that a coin doesn't have to die when the original dev is getting more and more shady.

Exactly what i was thinking!
There should be a good future for this coin with this community

QUICK START

  • Run a wallet
    Download a binary wallet and start frozen-qt. That's all!

  • Get some coins
    Check from time to time if you find an open giveaway opportunity (see below).
    Check the conditions of the thread-starter (if any) and hope that the donor is as fast as Frozen! Smiley

  • Additional nodes *NEW*
    You should not need to bother about additional nodes in your Frozen configuration "frozen.conf"
    at all, but to be prepared for possible bad-luck-situations find here some entries. If you ever have
    constant problems to synchronize the block chain, please stop your Frozen-client, delete your
    peer.dat, add the lines below to your frozen.conf and restart your client. Here the additional nodes:
    # Sponsored by BitcoinFX (FZ: FNgbr3u4Xew9LfATmk4FxuC63NvNMogY34):
    addnode=46.19.143.137
    addnode=46.19.143.141
    addnode=46.19.139.232



    GIVEAWAYS

    Frozen is not premined, therefore there is no premine "giveaway pool".
    In the past some community members were giving away their own FZ (mined our bought) in giveaway threads.
    Some threads aren't closed but the donor fails to payout. Please make a note in the thread and let me know.
    To make the life of the donors easier it would be helpful if you edit your post (like: "Received, thanks!") if you got your FZs.

    CALLS FOR CONTRIBUTION




    • If you have some FZ coins to spare please consider to create some giveaway-thread
      at frozentalk.org. If you do please let me know, so I can update the list at the end of this post

    • Looking for addnodes!
      If you've got a reliable machine with a dedicated IP-4 address and some networking bandwidth
      it would be great if you run frozend with server=1 and listen=1 on it and let me know. I would add
      it as an additional node via "addnode=a.b.c.d" in the sample frozen.conf


    • Translate www.fzcoin.cc:
      LasersGoPew @ frozentalk.org started an initiative to Translate The Frozen Site.
      We have so far German, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish.
      It would be cool if you can add a new language or help to verify and improve the translations Smiley




    • Frozen is a coin originally based on the hashing concept of the QUARK coin
    • The total number of Frozen coins (FZ) is much lower in comparison: only 7,777,777 FZ. This is about 1/32th of QRK!!
    • (It is still under discussion to add an inflation, like e.g. 1% per year)
    • The coin is very good suited to be mined with CPUs. At the current difficulty > 2000 you will probably have best results with a pool
    • As of this writing there are about 97,000 blocks mined, making a volume of about 4,340,000 FZ (about 55.8% of the total coin supply)
    • The block reward is quickly dropping until it vanishes. If you want to mine FZ: a sooner, a better


    CORE SPECIFICATIONS

    • FAST BLOCK GENERATION
      by average one block each 30 seconds

    • MULTIPLE-STEP HASHING
      the hashes are generated with a random hashing sequence,
      relying on 6 hashing functions

    • LIMITED COIN SUPPLY
      There will be no more than 7,777,777 FZ available at all! (*)

    • (*) INFLATION
      to be decided, currently not foreseen.
      There may be an inflation of about 1% per year after block 1,691,867.
      The community will vote about the inflation in time.

    • DECREASING BLOCK REWARD
      The mining subsidy is quickly declining and will drop to zero at block 1,691,868.
      Miners get the transaction fees.

    • PORTS
      P2P-Port: 18451, default RPC port: 18450


    BLOCK REWARD (SUBSIDY)

    Since block 77,778 the block reward is decreasing each 120 blocks (about each hour).
    The last block to contain a block reward will be block 1,691,867, afterwards mining
    will live from the transaction fees.  The community might vote to introduce an
    inflation for the time after.  The amount discussed at the moment would relate to a
    minimum block reward of 0,075 FZ, which yields about 1% inflation measured against
    the maximum of 7,777,777 coins.

    Find below a table and a graph showing the development of the block reward.
    Please note that "Days since launch" is an estimation, based on an average of
    one block per 30 seconds.

    Block           Reward (FZ) Days since launch(*) Comment
    1                      1000               0                           Block 1 with bigger reward for the original Dev. Not clear, what these coins were used for.

    1,691,867              0.10900           560                         The last block with a reward yields 0,1090 FZ. Total amount issued: 7,777,777 FZ
    1,691,868 .. infinity  0.0               560 .. infinity             From block 1,691,868 on the block reward is zero

    (*) Estimated, based on an average of 30 seconds per block.







    MORE SPECIFICATIONS (may be adapted in future)
    • BLOCK MATURITY: A mined block matures after 260 blocks (at the most)




    Frozen can be mined with the same miners as Quark.

    CPU-Mining:


Code:
minerd -a quark -o http://your-frozen-qt-ip:rcpport/ -u rpcusername -p rpcpassword --no-stratum --no-longpoll

GPU-Mining:

There is to my knowledge no GPU miner for Frozen available, at the moment!

There is a closed source software named "Smelter" ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/preview-smelter-gpu-miner-for-whirlpoolx-vanillacoin-310975 ) which is originally
designed for Quark. Besides from some drawbacks (12.5% fee for each block, limited GPU support, no pool mining support)
the main problem seems to be, that it does not generate valid blocks for Frozen.


Sample frozen.conf:

If you want to run the frozend-daemon which gives access to RPC commands you should install a frozen.conf file.
Make sure the file is not world-readable - your frozen installation needs only reading access.
A basic frozen.conf could look like this:
Code:
rpcuser=frozenrpc
rpcpassword=replaceThisWithALongPasswordWithSomeDigits

Some further advanced options for frozen.conf:
  • Machines with little network bandwidth may prefer to reduce the number of maximum connections, e.g.: maxconnections=20
  • If you're running a daemon please restrict the RPC network access to the minimum you need. Use a star "*" as a wildcard. For a local-only installation this might be: rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

HISTORY

The coin Frozen was originally started by Block_Erupter, his original announcement  is from December 11, 2013, 06:48:27 AM.
In parallel he was engaging in a different project named "Shares", in which he admittedly tried to steal the
investors money. He refunded the  biggest part now, it stays to hope that the remaining investors are refunded
very soon as well. Block_Erupter is no longer part of the Frozen Community.

The Frozen community took over the progress of this great coin.
Frozen was a fair coin from the beginning on, and the continuation and support of the coin is made certain.
You are very welcome to join as a user or as contributor!

The Frozen Snowflake was created by the user Tonza from bitcointalk.org. It was the winning submission in a logo contest.
