if anyone wants to setup a pool I could help getting Znomp running for them ( for a small fee )  ... I'm testing VOT on znomp right now and just mined the first block .... waiting for the payout

if you want to check it out:

this will only show you the website but you wont be able to mine (don't have the mining ports open for public)

IDEX - LIVE Real-time DEX
Somebody has set up a pool with 2.5% fee.
It is not our official VoteCoin pool, but since we don't have own pool yet, you may try it.
http://votecoinmine.site

For example, if you have Nvidia GPU cards, you may use EWBF's miner like this:

miner.exe --pec --server votecoinmine.site --port 3032 --user YourVoteCoinTaddress --pass x

Warning! use at your own risk, may not function properly or may not pay you your reward.

I've noticed there is a disclaimer on your message indicating there is a mining pool available.

I've started mining there but noticed that all my tokens are kept as "immature". Do you have any more info regarding this one? do you think I should trust this pool?

If not, is there a way of solo mining with GPU right now?

Thanks!

Me too, facing problem with pool. I will try solo mining later. Actually just setup rpc details in conf file will do.

Thank you all who participate in mining.

If you had connection problems yesterday, it was completely my fault, I am sorry for that.
I shut down the seed node and forgot to add other nodes to dnsseed (DNS settings).
Due to that, you could not connect, because the only IP address returned from DNS was offline.

I am really sad about this because I realize that lots of you tried to fix the problem and wasted several hours. Sad

Please try again now, the problem is fixed.

Mine works as well, thanks Smiley

I'm having the same problem as coldstorage. I ran zcashd -debug (the binaries weren't renamed to votecoin) and found the following error:

Quote
connect() to 37.157.195.61:8144 failed after select(): Connection refused (111)

Maybe it's some sort of network problem  Huh

Thanks for posting, I googled that error for a while, found someone suggesting renaming peers.dat (to .old, for example, while the daemon isn't running, when you run again, it will regenerate the file) in the hidden .votecoin directory where the .conf file is.  Didn't work for me, but I also found a bunch of debug errors relating to tor.  I think I might have some sort of iptables problem, and after searching on that, I just got a headache.  That stuff is over my head, but maybe the peers thing will work for you?  Good luck.

I ran it for 3 hours before restarting again, never connected or showed sol/s.  I checked the votecoin.conf, everything was as it should be.  I set up zcash and hush before this the same way, no problem with those.  Only instruction I didn't follow from the readme was to launch as ./src/votecoind, because they don't appear to have renamed the files yet.  zcashd and zcash-cli filenames appear to still be in use.  But launching zcashd still brings up a votecoin themed daemon:



Not really sure what else to try, but suggestions are welcome.  I might reinstall it tomorrow.  Bummed to miss out on the early blocks before all the monster GPU rigs come in and dominate.

I've been running almost 30 minutes with no connections made.  Any advice?

This is a new coin, I think the better way should be puy the links for the announce of VoteCoin, if you do so, the miner could know more about the coin and decide to mine or not.

This coin is not listed in the exchanges, so that will be a drawback for the current stage of VoteCoin. If you want to ICO, the better way is listing the coin in the small exchanges.

Why don't you create your own thread in announcements, with all the details and infos?
That's what serious devs usually do.

For VoteCoin wallet, you have to compile the software on Linux:
Github repo: https://github.com/Tomas-M/VoteCoin
We can provide precompiled binaries, if you prefer.
I'll also look into cross-compiling for Windows, but do not promise anything yet.

I can see there are already new miners of VoteCoin, thank you very much for participating!

Regarding premine, yes there is official premine of 4.54%, this is already described on the website. This premine is sold to ICO participants for 0.00002 BTC per VOT. Everybody is welcome to participate, if you like.

Regarding mining instructions, officially supported is currently only the Linux CLI version, with CPU mining, I am sorry.

We plan lots of things, including public pool, windows wallet, etc, but that is a subject of funding - if sufficient funding is received through the ICO, everything will be implemented according to the roadmap (you can see milestones at the website).

I am sure there are miners out there already solo-mining with GPU, since one of the current miners has 800sol/s power on his own, so I believe it is somehow possible even without our official support, this guy probably has some custom software for that, which we are not aware of, but this is just my pure speculation.

In order to download and run the Linux client for CPU mining, you can follow these instructions:
https://github.com/Tomas-M/VoteCoin/blob/master/README.md

I hope the ICO campaign will go well and I hope we will be able to collect sufficient funging for our next milestone soon - public pool with 0% fee.
