Hah, so this is what Noodle was talking about when he asked who turned on the botnet for BCN.

Hashrate statistics:

pm me an address, i will send you some coins.

well i have been mining more then 36 hrs with 4 h/s and havent found anything.
Same goes with my 2 h/s older CPU.


i guess i must be one of those "unlucky" fellas

And multiply blocks by 17.59 to get the number of coins.

For people wanting to figure out how many blocks they'll get per day:

- Divide difficulty by 60 to get H/s of the network, eg 300,000 / 60 = 5000 H/s
- Divide your H/s by this, eg 10 H/s / 5000 H/s = 0.002
- Multiply this by the number of blocks per day (24 * 60) to get your per day block probability, eg 0.002 * 24 * 60 = 2.88 blocks per day.

Spekulatius, a new thread was created because there were no mods around to move the previous one. If it looks like stuff happens all of a sudden without any indication on these threads, it's because there was discussion on the freenode channels #bitmonero or #monero. Currently the devs (which is ill-defined but roughly includes thankful_for_today, tacotime, and smooth) are thinking about a different solution than changing the emission schedule to solve the eventual mining income problem (~8 years out). You can actually put in a vote through the bot in the freenode channel on what you think they should do.

Stuff that was controversial appears to have been removed.

It is not a fork, unless TFT decides he wants to fork this and try to make a merged mining client. The technical issues were all discussed at length and argument amongst several different people.  I think the majority settled on there being no hardfork changes to the coin (no subsidy adjustments, no merged mining, no block reward halving for the first series of blocks, no two minute block times, etc) in the near future.

List of devs is whoever is hacking and submitting pull requests on github I guess.  I'm around to fix stuff if something goes terribly wrong.  No one is totally sure where TFT is (or who he was).

We'll make one in the future, but for now I would say expect no protocol incompatible changes.  TFT may come out of nowhere with a merged mining client, but it's unlikely any miner will hop to that fork.

@ OP, devs, etc:

Pls stop the confusion and apply some transparency around here!

I appreciate that this thread tries to collect some basic information on the OP and does a bit of explaining but it also adds to the confusion:
- With every new thread about this coin information gets lost and discussions forked.
- With every renaming people get confused (BCN, BMR, MRO..?) you get my point.
- Is this supposed to be a fork of Bitmonero now? You say that it is not but also new proposals like changing the block time to 2 minutes, halving coins in existence, etc. are imposed on the code base without sufficient dicussion (no, I dont think discussing 2 days in a remote thread ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annmro-monero-an-anonymous-coin-based-on-cryptonote-technology-582080 ) constitutes sufficient discussion).
- Who are the main people involved in this? Pls add a list of devs, projects, etc. to the OP to make this whole project more transparent! (Is Thankful for Today still with it btw?)
- Pls create a new thread for technical help and one for discussion to keep some visibility.

front page updated with exchanges and slightly better linux instructions.

Current hash rate of network is 5000 H/s.  The odds of you getting a block per day are 0.576 right now.   So, within a couple of days you should have some.  I think there's lots for sale too over in the exchange thread.

I finally have a reason to use my company's 32Core Amazon instance. Here i come coins ;3

Mining steady at 2 hashes per second.  I found that orphaned block only like 10 minutes into mining.

Install Ubuntu 13.10
Press the Windows button on your keyboard or the Ubuntu button in the top left.
Type "terminal".
Click "terminal".
In the terminal type the following to update your software sources:
Press enter. Type in your password. After you stop seeing text coming out of the terminal and see a new line ending with $, type this to install git:
Type in "Y" if it asks you if you are sure.
Then download the Monero client with git.
Then change directories into the Monero directory.
Then type install prerequisites for Monero.
Again, Type in "Y" if it asks you if you are sure.
Then make a directory for the compiled Monero.
Then compile Monero. You can replace 4 with however many CPU cores you have.
Then run Monero Daemon

Again,
Press the Windows button on your keyboard or the Ubuntu button in the top left.
Type "terminal".
Click "terminal".

Type this into the new terminal to move to the binaries you just compiled.
Then make a new wallet, replacing "name_of_my_wallet" with what you want to call your new wallet.
You will be prompted for a password. Be careful, you won't have to type a confirmation so beware of typos!
Close the wallet with the "exit" command.

Now type this command, replacing name_of_my_wallet with the name of your wallet
and enter your password. If you forgot your password or mistyped it at creation time, delete every file starting with name_of_my_wallet.bin and start over. Every Bitmonero would be lost forever, so it's important that you do it just after the creation, before any mining.  ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR WALLET.

Now, type "start_mining N" where N is the number of threads/cores you have in terminal 2.  This will begin mining.

You can also begin mining by typing "start_mining 4xxxxxxx...xxxxx N" in the daemon in terminal 1 where 4xxxxxxx...xxxxx is your Monero address.

You can type help in both the daemon and simple-wallet to see more commands.  If you'd like to see blocks as the come into the network, simply type "set_log 1" in the daemon (terminal 1).

Good luck and happy mining!

Installation of Ubuntu is easy

Follow the steps in the first post to build.  It's just copy and pasting commands.

It was orphaned.  Keep mining.   You will get one eventually.

My wallet still shows a balance of 0.

Yes your thread number 0 found a block.

I dont know how to compile anything. There should be something like ticking a box to start mining on a gui wallet. This looks unfair to noobs

Ut
It may have been orphaned. Check your wallet.
