Topic: Help making a new Altcoin (my plan explained inside) (Read 1160 times)
It has enjoyed the benefits of obscurity, just like bitcoin did in its early years.

It also might have the fairest distribution, since it has not been limited to people with huge GPU farms; anyone has been able to pick some up all along even with just a CPU.
So it is one of the coins that have all along been providing the much asked-for feature of being accessible to ordinary machines without even needing a GPU.

Would it be able to maintain that if it received more attention, or is it just it's obscurity that gives it this benefit? Did Litecoin change the scrypt drastically or something? So it is one of the coins that have all along been providing the much asked-for feature of being accessible to ordinary machines without even needing a GPU.

I also dont get what is diff between tenebrix and ltc source code, seems its nearly same. Mark you want someone to restart tenebrix under some new name?
tenebrix was the first scrypt coin. ltc copied it from tenebrix (sort of, could be said it copied it from fairbrix which in
turn copied it from tenebrix).

Yeah the small change made it pretty easy he linked to the difference page in another thread making it easy to see what he edited in the code for small change. Editing the code doesn't seem to bad, it's compiling where I feel ill hot a wall since I don't how to compile a windows client (since I run 64 bit windows 7).
The main point of my asking was to see if there was a Windows client already out there, I was not asking you to compile one for me just to point me in the right direction if there was one already made
I have no idea. If not, compile one for whatever version of whatever distribution of whatever operating system you use and make it available. Me I could only make a Fedora Core 17 64-bit version available, is that the version and distribution and operating system you happen to use?

No looking for a Windows version
Windows 3, 3,x, 4, 4.x, 5, 5.x, 95, XT, etc etc etc? Don't you still need to know the version?
Also, 32 bit or 64 bit?
-MarkM-
lol I really have to go into that much details for a Windows client? Ok Windows 7, 32 bit or 64 bit would work I suppose.

It is based on litecoin source, the changes from one coin to another are pretty much trivial; and this one they can actually mine for themselves with just a CPU.
(Smallchange and mincoin and feathercoin are all already way too difficult, even BBQcoin is getting pretty difficult for a CPU miner, at least one who does not have several modern cores to throw at it.)

markm, is there a QT client for Tenebrix?
Oh well if you want scrypt, get Tenebrix, https://github.com/Lolcust/Tenebrix-QT.git uses more-recent code than various other versions of it does, it is based on Litecoin code instead of on multicoin like some other versions of it were.
No merged mining, but that is normal for litecoin-type coins.

I don't see a QT client there I see the source code, it there one that is compiled? That's what I meant actually lol

Ahh. Thanks for the clarification. That makes a lot more sense.-MarkM-
markm, you keep pushing tenebrix on noobies for some reason. why wouldn't you just explore the source of an active coin like litecoin? i don't understand.
this is actually what I'm doing looking at what smallchange did to litecoin source and mirroring, actually kinda addicting. My fiance is very upset with me at the moment.

Tenebrix, on the other hand, is great for CPU mining, we did have one GPU miner throw a few GPUs at it a day or few ago but he quickly desisted when he realised he was screwing it up for the CPU miners. Basically you don't need to throw any GPUs at it, just point a core or two at it and over the months it adds uo nicely without driving the difficulty up too high.

Actually, you explained some things I didn't quite understand, thanks, I'm going to go try to mine some of the coins you mentioned. (Didn't realize of some of them were CPU mineable)
Although I'm still going to play with the litecoin source code because I really want to figure this out.
thanks
