I know some discussion around using vanitygen has been happening but they've been workarounds for the most part. I worked with a friend of mine and wanted to supply you guys with a version of vanitygen that has direct CGB support. Here is the github repo for the fork:
https://github.com/lizzybot/vanitygen/

Unfortunately no binaries right now, though it's in the works. Compile it like you normally would.

Usage:
The -C flag has been added for CGB. OCLVanitygen also works with this flag with the starting character of "5". There is a bit of an oddity right now though in that it is saying some prefixes are not valid even though based on base58 and the avoidance of ambiguous characters they should be valid. We're working on hunting this down as well. In the meantime, most prefixes seem to work. Like any other instance of vanitygen, once you generate the corresponding private key, use the console in the wallet app (or command line if you're using the daemon) to "importprivkey" to your wallet. Then you're good to go.

Code:
./oclvanitygen -i -C 5prefix
(I pretty much always use -i for case insensitivity, though it's optional if you want a direct match for your prefix)

Here's one I generated for the purposes of this exercise and added it to my CGB wallet: 5VANiTyhMuuk2CRQHRKC9epvUQUf97Pcaf

Any questions, please feel free to ask. Also, if you think this should be its own post elsewhere, I'm happy to do that too; though I couldn't seem to find any CGB-specific forums.

Thank you for your contribution to the community! Excellent work! This is an excellent example of how an individual can contribute to the community! I have sent you a few CB as a thank you!

does this coin confirm very slowly? i conducted an exchange perhaps an hour ago and still not signs of it showing at the receiving wallet?


Nope, confirms are fast actually.  If you're sending it to an exchange wallet then contact the exchange.

If you have control of either the receiving or sending wallet then make sure you're on the correct block chain using the block explorer:  http://explorer.cryptogenicbullion.org:2750/chain/CryptogenicBullion



thanks for quick reply, it is probably just cryptsy then.

Yeah, they have been quite frustrating the last 24 hours.

I'm sure this is covered elsewhere but if using an encrypted wallet in a client, how do we "claim" or "mine" our PoS? Is this automatic if there's a balance or do we have to enter some command or enable a setting somewhere?

It's automatic. You'll just get a transaction and some coins moving into the stake balance for a little while


Indeed, after 30 days your client will stake coins and you'll get a PoS reward.  Just make sure your wallet is unlocked after 30 days.

Can you explain to me the Stake model in your client?

The actual proof of stake model is no different than PPC and we are indebted to King's work, except we chose not to implement a central checkpoint server.  The accelerated PoW subsidy halving helps to make a central checkpoint server less imperative to implement with respect to distribution.

I received some valuable marketing input for the website and for CB in general and I've changed some of the literature on the CB website.  

The changes I've made express CB to be a universal commodity and not seemingly just for business needs.  A universal commodity/currency is more accurate anyways and the literature on the website should properly express it.  

I've also added a couple more paragraphs in the About section regarding being more environmentally friendly than strictly proof of work coins as well as unique project development initiatives which very few other coins can even begin to claim.

This is great.  I'll test it out soon.  Thanks!

I do not know the English. Not so easy to engage in dialogue. otherwise  would certainly suggest my help.
In Russia, few people know and is ready to invest in a little-known forks

Yes that is why good translations are important, for many countries at least. In Germany for example it is really not all THAT important as most people can speak enough english to understand I think. But a bad translation never leaves a good impression.  Wink Merc just out of curiosity, what kind of service were you using that seems to provide such bad results? Better let the community do it, there are enough of us willing to help Grin

That's the problem.  I did use forum members for a few of the translations: Swedish, Turkish, and German.  lol

I used a professional translator for Chinese. (quite expensive)

And I used a language enthusiast/student for French, Spanish, and Italian (Italian being his weakest, but acceptable enough).  And he was able to find a Russian translator online, which it seems to be acceptable as well.

So, I'm hiring professional translators with real translation credentials from now on. Smiley

Swedish is already being worked on as I type.  Turkish and German are next.

Hindi and Portuguese are next translations to go live, most likely late next week.  It depends on the translators.

Haha, ok, so next time maybe ask for a third party to proofread then before adding to website or paying for that matter  Cheesy  Yes professional translations are expensive, I know that, but with the right people it should be possible to get good non-professonal translations for little money. Like here in this thread, where people are interested in helping cgb out  Grin

Perhaps really enough English. It is an international language.
In Russia prefer to play at Mt.Gox and BTC - e
And when there appear currency - translation will be even less relevant. Serious investors read about all currency. In any language
