what kind of kernel is this ziftr? will it be working with ccminer?

You get several yays and some boos, the boos are due to a Bug which i am currently looking into, maybe some other dev knows why the miner is sending duplicates sometimes

ah thank you working ,
o.O boo!!!

That's wrong, look at the Getting Started page on the pool:

./minerd -a ziftr -o http://ziftr.suprnova.cc:9991 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword

./minerd --url=stratum+tcp://ziftr.suprnova.cc:9991 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword

 

What is your commandline ?

ocminer can u help me ? 

There were some deps missing in the file "Makefile.am" - updated and pushed the fixed version to github, it will compile fine now.

Could someone please compile the miner for Windows x64 ?

Someone would need to compile the CPU Miner in the "Getting Started" Section on the Pool for Windows and publish it here since I'm curently not able to compile it, sorry, linux only at the moment.

I cannot seem to find a Windows miner

I've got a Pool set up:

https://ziftr.suprnova.cc

A CPU Miner and the instructions (read them!) is in the "Getting Started" Section - It currently has a little bug, hopefully someone with better C coding/debugging skills than me finds it, it's sending duplicates sometimes, not sure why. So after some "yay!!"'s you'll get a series of fast "boo"'s until a new block is announced... Its probably a minor thing and someone will point it out quickly so I can merge it to my github repo.

If you have any problems, contact me, I consider the pool beta now, lets see how it goes.

Will you release a CPU miner without the wallet ?

You should all watch this video about altcoins released yesterday.

As cool as that sounds, I boycott any business that accepts any alt and punish them with a credit card. I got a high rewards amex to inflict the most damage.

Internally we have a bunch of features and/or plans for current/experienced bitcoin and other crypto currency users too. We just try not to promote things we can't guarantee (under promise and over deliver and all that).

For example some things that we want and are working towards (but again not promising):
- merchants accepting any and all coins that have sufficient market volume to handle the sell pressure (including ziftrCoin at market value)
- making purchases in multiple currencies (such as part credit card, part bitcoin, part ziftrcoin)
- merchants offering discounts or rewards for making purchases entirely in crypto currency (as in no credit cards)
- ziftrPay working with merchant's existing gift card and points systems (eg you could get 3% from gyft AND 5ish% from ziftrcoin)
- automatic arbitrage through multiple exchanges giving shoppers a better rate when the merchant exchanges to fiat
-

Oh, I didn't know giftcards was the main use case. That makes a little more sense, I guess I'd rather have $15 than a $20 giftcard to some site I never use. I use amazon, though, so I probably wouldn't use purse for buying BTC.

Ah ok, then yes, it might be interesting for "new people" as free money is always good offcours. But not so interesting for investors like myself...as the services wont be used by us (i would just buy with my card or btc)

And bye the way almost nobody uses purse.io to buy btc, i dont know if that is even possible. It is for people who have btc and want to buy something from amazon. Instead of buying directly they get a 15%/25% discount by using btc. Nobody gets ripped! There are many people who have amazon giftcards and dont want to use them. They got them as a birthday gift or something like that.

So basically the people who want to get rid of their giftcards are buying the products (for the buyers who want to spend his btc). Once bought they get the btc of the buyer and the buyer gets his products in return.

The people who pay with their giftcards are very happy as they just want cash (or in this case btc). For them their giftcards are else useless..as giftcards can not be sold or traded into cash... And both buyers and sellers can set their own discounts...if people find the discount to high they just dont buy it.

5% may seem low if you had to go to an exchange, sign up, make a bid to buy some ZRC, and then go find a place to use it, but that's not exactly the use case that will always take place. Sure, you could do that and save like 4% on your transaction (since there is a cost to getting the ZRC in the first place), and for some people even that will be worth it. But there's another whole audience out there that just has a smart phone and has maybe heard of this bitcoin thing but they've never tried it. Now we can get $100 worth of crypto-coupons into their hands, and get them to start using cryptocurrency. Our mobile wallet (http://www.ziftrwallet.com/), which is in Beta, supports multiple cryptocurrencies and is an easy way to get the coins into the hands of consumers. The coin will probably be most useful to people who do online shopping, though, which is more and more people...

And obviously, yes, this whole thing encourages the use of ziftr's products. But from my point of view, it's a win-win-win for the merchant, consumer, and ziftr. Merchants gets new users, and many of these users who are now introduced to cryptocurrency might start paying with BTC or others and allow the merchant to limit its credit card and fraud costs. Consumer gets ~5% discount. Ziftr gets adoption of the tools it is building and also gets 5% of each transaction.

25% is an extreme case, you must be talking about purse.io. This service, which I think/hope is well meaning, has some problems. One thing that I don't get, why does anyone buy BTC with USD on that website? The 25% savings means that someone else is getting a rip off for the BTC they are buying, as compared to what they could be getting elsewhere. Maybe I am missing something, but that doesn't seem sustainable. There are some legal issues too, like with AML/KYC stuff, that I'm not sure have been worked out.

I'll stick to easy gyft for 3% off Amazon
