Fantastic update. Thank you for the constant communication!

Any change with an OSX wallet being released that a Linux/Debian wallet could be produced? Would love to keep this coin off of my windows box!  Smiley

DEV UPDATE:

Synced up with cryptowest today, his track is currently testing on testnet.  He is also reviewing my code, and making sure we are really 200% bug free ahead of launch.  

Mainly focused on small changes and more testing.. spent some time testing deployment of Dnsseed, and Seed node compiles.. and windows wallet + miners connecting to public internet: all works.  I'm turning it off now so no one confusing tries to mine (don't bother trying to mine, we are going to regenerate genesis blocks and checkpoints.. Sat)

here's windows wallet.. okay not much to look at but it's connects immediately (no addnode conf needed), and well it works..



Fyi for those interested, found a somewhat counterintuitive code robustness issue in DNSseed..

Code:

extern "C" void* ThreadSeeder(void*) {

    for (int i=0; [b]seeds[i] != ""[/b]; i++) {

if you don't use a "" to end static array... it borks.. I mean really... I mean that is just so counterintuitive??   did i bother fixing it though.. no.. just worked around it by adding a "" to static array.. because i was lazy..  Someone not lazy as me, plz submit fix to bitcoin-seeder main branch :)



Development plan Update
-------

Coding:
  - (done) Temporarily remove checkpoints
  - (done) Change ports
  - (done) Update GPUcoin_seeder with ports.
  - (done) All name changes, and symbol changes: GPUC
  - (done) Change max coins amount, and original COIN amount
  - (done) Change KGW retarget time  
  - (done) Add in DNSSeed address, and hardcoded 3 node seed addresses, 3 data center VPSes: 2 in US, and 1 in canada
  - (done) Revert fix micro, milli units (this was changed before to avoid integer overflows for 100B+coins)
  - (done) Update subsidy schedule
  
    - (done) change confirmations needed to account for 60second blocktimes changed to 12
  - (done) nfactor schedule

Internal Testing:  
  - testing phase on intranet using linux CLI daemon
    - (done) test client mining (cpu)
    - (done) test rewards    
    - (done) test send/receive    
    - (done) test GPU mining - solo
    - (done)test KGW              
        
Final Modifications:
  - (done) Get PNG logo & graphics from GPUC, and populate QT folder
  - (done) Change address prefix from S to G
  - (done) Add launch Seed nodes to DNSseed main.cpp hard code
  - (done) Fix windows build on makefile
  - (done) Build windows_alpha client
  - (done) Test windows alpha client,    
  - (done)  
  - (in progress-cryptowest reviewing) get code reviews  
  - (right after my premine matures...) test send on test network.

Real Genesis blocks, and fork prevention:  
 - Update to launch pszTimestamp
 - Update to launch nTime to curent POSIX time
 - Create *real* genesis hash, merkle root, and get nonce
 - Mine to ~200 blocks
 - Get checkpoints, and update checkpoints.cpp
 - (done) Settle on final node IP address hardcodes, and any changes to DNS seed host addresses
 
Deployment:  
 - Build Final Windows and OSX client release
 - Deploy on VPS behind firewall: DNSSeed, and Seed node
 - Setup IP tables, etc.

Final Test:
 - Test Run DNSseed and make sure it can ping seed nodes, and shows as available
 - Test that DNS seed is working using nslookup
 - Test Final windows build can connect immediately from fresh start (no previous blockdb)
 - Test Final windows build sends / receive coins working
 - Test GPU mining against "real" network for blocks 200-210 (reward=1)
 - Send private build to GPUC
 - Send 400M premine coins to GPUC's wallet
 
Final Launch:
 - Upload windows build to mega, post launch code to github
 - Launch

it is a difficult concept but until a cryptocurrency finds a way to prevent pump and dump, no coin will truly stick around

Pump and dump happens because the products at hand have no real value, and everything just rides on pure speculation. Fiat runs solely because people accept them for goods and services....

Really? I've been mining Nobl for 2 months and buying amazon giftcards directly and buying gpu's with them and getting a 12% discount to boot. No BTC conversion fee's and no fee's for fiat change as well. I'm doing newegg cards there now as the price changed in neweggs favor for what I want.

exactly my point... you were able to exchange your NOBL for consumable goods, because someone was ready to take them from you in exchange for a product/service they owned... anything from paying a restaurant bill, offer coupons, a truckload of toilet paper, whatever. That is the only way a coin survives.... and NOBL will stand the test of time as long as more people offer to take the NOBL from you in exchange for something they can give you for consumption....

I was talking about the hundreds of other altcoins that cannot be used to purchase anything in the real world other than the BTC of the greater fool. That is when the coin dies. GPUC cannot die as long as there exists an online store accepting GPUC, and positive testimonials of receiving the products of course Smiley

I guess I mis-understood you. If you'll note Nobl Market place in my screenies is 100% is a pretty nice customer relation rating to boot.

I'm still waiting on the DEV here to explain how he's going to compensate me for the lost time on his failed launches. I could have more In that order If I hadn't wasted my systems on his failure.

You took a voluntary decision to gamble your time / electricity / rig rentals. Hoping for the devs to compensate for your loss is like going to a shitty movie after being wooed by the trailer and expecting a refund because the movie did not live up to your expectations. Sure there might exist some theater owner out there who might take it upon themselves as a business model to show only awesome movies etc. But that would be kinda dumb right?

That is one view, another is that how the DEV handles his failures is how he will perceived and the community will act accordingly. If he does not throw us a bone for the wasted effort you can bet there will be far fewer people wasting that effort on the next "LAUNCH".

Come on.... I hope you are not naive enough to think that people who "wasted their time" on all the 17 failed launches of this coin is going to deter people from mining when it does launch. The only one thing that matters to the miner is the question: "Is it profitable to mine?" The dev with the heart of gold is not going to go far once the coin is out there in the public and the market yanks it out of their hands :p

The only way what you are saying makes sense is if its a really small community and constant interaction with the devs is essential even after launch. Then ya... there is an incentive to not piss off a chunk of what keeps it alive...

Sunshine? Ahh your sweet. Smiley

Haven't been in many businesses have you?

Just a few - and I've valued and sold several. Anyone who projects the cost of their decisions has little or no agency. One who seeks public confirmation of their lack of agency is insecure. 'Nuf said.

Yeh. The network hash rate is huge. I guess I will jump on something else to try and earn a few BTC while I wait for this coin
yeap

No, the dev decided not to do a re-launch and everyone kept mining, because he got a donation from someone that replaced his "LOST" pre-mine LMAO Cheesy:D

Absolute juvenile bullshit - suck it up sunshine. You decided to "waste your time".
