It's not how big your share is it's how you use it that matters.

one hour left and it's already 140gh/s?

wtflol.

oh well, my share will be tiny. 

Here goes nothing...

[EDIT]

With one hour to go and stales still very high -- is there any chance we will see an improvement?

Would solo mining mining provide better returns for the first few hours as the network difficulty increases to something reasonable?

If you get a chance, it would be great to have a ixcoin.btcguild.com pool too in the future.

Hope all goes well in T-2!

dude doesnt know what GMT means :p

Still about 2hrs til launch for me.  How is that possible?

4 mins till launch turning all my power over now ...

I meant like available right now.  It'll take a few minutes to get the client configured and running.  I guess I could pool mine while I'm doing it though.

Is there a compiled executable available for download?

ahh ok.. I'm mostly doing it for kicks, and since my hashing is so low its barely worth mining bitcoins, i figured why not?

Servers are being restarted/tweaked in the last few hours before live.  Quite frankly I figured 100 GH/s was optimistic, but we hit that speed in TEST MODE.

there is an entire planet of currencies.. why dont they have these problems? bitcoin isnt just US.
there is also benefit to competition, there is many flaws with bitcoin, one being wallet encryption. They have been promising this for months. i0coin is coming out the gate with wallet encryption.

Sure they have to be accepted somewhere, they are already accepted on a exchange and they dont even exist yet. Neither namecoin nor bitcoin were accepted at many places.

why would you want money linked?

and yes this is a competing currency, much like the euro competes with the dollar.
it was mainly designed though, as a sort of a joke. It was in response to ixcoin which had become suddenly popular, mainly due to peoples gambling nature. The guy who made ixcoin took 500k coins for himself before releasing it to the public. This isnt good for the currency and is kinda scammy thing to do. So he suggested making iocoin but, where everyone can get on the gensis block, and no one will take a bunch of coins for themselves before it is released.

He thought that if someone would make this, that everyone would see how stupid and scammy ixcoins are. SOme people with programming skills said "hey thats not a bad idea and more than that, we arent going to make this a joke, we are actually going to address flaws in bitcoin, ixcoin and namecoin which have not been addressed yet" Things like address verification, faster block rates, which means faster confirms and transactions, and of course the encrypted wallet to foil trojans.


anyways was a joke, isnt a joke no more, yes it is competing currency but it is a good competing currency and doesnt exist simply to exist.It is very very open, even more transparent than the start of bitcoin. Heck one day it might even replace bitcoin... especially if development doesnt speed up.

well I'm giving it a try.. but it seems to be failing repeatedly.

Eventually it connected, but after a whole bunch of long poll: IO Errors and what not.

As the page says, confirmations are updated once per minute to avoid thrashing the found block table.


The last block timer is the time since the last announced block was finished.  At 89 GH/sec, even calculating a found every 5 seconds isn't fast enough.  As difficulty rises it will catch up.


EDIT:  I've fixed my block calculator script to reset itself and check for another block rather than shut out and wait for the next execution of the script.  It should now get all new blocks every minute.

Will you be enabling API access analogous to what btcguild has so that I can monitor my balance remotely?

Testing, and people probably went to bed and want to be in on the start of it.

Why does the blocks page show 4 blocks as having 119 confirms to go?

I think this may still be broken? Seeing 20+ minutes right now (longest block in the last 100 is just over a minute).  I am thinking the 'time since last' won't even be needed until after the first difficulty adjustment.

I have no problem with your 3% fee. I was happy to pay it on the shit load of ixcoins I mined with your pool! Just merely commenting on what the other pool's are charging.
