djm34, We use nfactor 9 for the start and it wont change for several months. If you choose the single nfactor, there's no need to set starttime.
yes you are right it works

@djm34: Please don't instamine this Coin to death again like MNR before Smiley
with DGW, it might end up with no block at all...

I prepared a windows solomining guide:

1 Download archives, prepare your configuration file and miner.
Download pass protected .zip win wallet (links to the wallets download will be provided 15 minutes before the launch).
Password will be available at launch.

win miner
https://mega.co.nz/#!RwFgETqY!xzgowGfykgN3MrlGeCYkSRw47N4pkDeO_S5YfOSrp7o

Please set your own rpcpassword for the configuration file and make sure it matches the credentials in your .bat file for mining.

Source
https://github.com/Thirtybird/YACMiner
Windows Binaries
https://github.com/Thirtybird/YACMiner/releases (needed settings "yacminer --scrypt-chacha --nfmin 9 --nfmax 9")

Miner for NVIDIA GPUs
https://github.com/cbuchner1/CudaMiner/releases  (needed settings "cudaminer.exe --algo=scrypt-jane:9")

I don't think -algo=scrypt_jane:9 will work.
the format is -algo=scrypt_jane:StartTime,nmin,nmax

2 Wait for the password and unzip your wallet. The password will also be posted on 2 forums and on twitter and facebook pages 15 minutes after the announce.

3 Launch your wallet and wait till it synces, shouldn’t take long.
4 Close the wallet and put your blackdragoncoin.conf file in "/%appdata%/BlackDragonCoin" folder
5 Launch the wallet and start the miner. Wait patiently for the coins to come Wink

I made a video guide (sorry for my bad english, mistakes etc)

Please do not post pre-reg pool advertisments. First you will have to check our code, handle the bonus rewards, test them and if you will have a working pool, I will gladly advertise it in the first post when the project will be launched. It is not easy to support additional bonus transaction, you'll have to change pool code.

Feel free to PM me about setting up a pool Smiley

That could be fun if it does not add too much complexity to the coin making it cumbersome.
Do you think it can be implemented in such a way?

Synopsis:  A polyhedral dice roll simulator that works like this:

Sorry that my mindmap is not as fancy as the devs Grin



Feature: Polyhedral Dice Roll Simulator and Betting System

For coins to grow they need to have utility.  So what about a built in polyhedral dice simulator with betting/tiipping system for us old school RPG dudes?  GM controls an off the blockchain wallet, the players use that wallet till gaming ends, once it ends either offline game wallet held by GM calls for transactions between the party members and GM verifies them before publishing to block chain or a fully decentralized approach with an escrowed wallet that neither GM or players have direct control over.         

There are numerous open source dice simulators and GM tools.  We would not be coding it from scratch.

https://www.ohloh.net/p/polyhedral  -- poly dice simulation

http://sourceforge.net/directory/games/rpg/os:windows/freshness:recently-updated/  -- numerous GM tools that could be added

Does the community think it is worth implementing such first of kind features in an altcoin?

Please post responses in this thread, no PMs for now.  Thanks.

Can the logo Dragon breathe fire and every once in awhile snort in the wallet?  If you could do that, you would be awesome.

+1 for DEV for sure, I have never seen such a carefully planned launch before. Keep it up.

Suppose a large pool finds a block with very little or no bonus reward, the pool can old this block and try
to find another – with better bonus -  block.
when the pool operator  will see another block announced, he could try to announce his "bad" block hoping
for it to catch the other block.
Now, there might be more than one  smart-ass like this, so each time 3-4 blocks will be announced together
forking the blockchain. 
There are no transcations without a roll bonus, so it is better (statistically) to announce solved block immediately  Smiley

You probably right!

That's why I referred to the issue as minor, theoretical one.
Furthermore, by the time the pool is trying to solve a new block for the same transactions
he can announce the block and find a new one...

In spite of this, this (very) little hole is still there... and it's bugging me  Roll Eyes

This scheme describes the system we already have for some time (tested etc), we wont change it.

No reason to move rewards 1 block further, nobody will choose to ruin the work that provides 100 coin rewards for the possibility to get a bit higher bonus (you even wrote about it!).

Actually there is a minor (maybe theoretical) issue with this thing, especially when it comes to large (manipulative) pools:
