  1. Yeah, mcxNOW is a standout site, really great for drawing in new interest and activity for MNC and other altcoins.
  2. Yeah, it's so professional, user-friendly and functional while also looking stylish. It's been the smoothest forum experience ever for me! Completely hurdle-free. Really great work!
  3. I think I could be interested in something like this. It would have to be implemented by a transparent and very trustworthy setup though.
  4. Yep, that's an important one. I think at first I thought it wasn't working well because I tried to look up updated confirmations for my transaction soon after it had just been sent out, mistakenly not realizing that the blocks were coming in much slower than 1 per minute, so there were no data updates yet to report at that time.
  5. Ah, yep yep, that puts it in perspective.
  6. Yep, use the GUIMiner or cgminer programs.
  7. Well, as far as I can tell all the mcxnow API only allows three functions: get orderbook, add trade, and cancel trade. https://mcxnow.com/api.html So, of course what I'd be using it for is viewing (and analyzing) the orderbooks, adding trades, and canceling trades.
  8. Whoa, looks like the difficulty just recalibrated. It jumped from 8.583 down to 1.145, but then the blocks started flying in too quickly—a dozen or so per minute... At this low difficulty, 60 new blocks were mined up in just a few minutes, triggering the next difficulty recalibration, which jumped it up to 2.145, where blocks were still coming in too fast... ~8 per minute. So again, in just a few minutes another 60 blocks were chained and the difficulty recalibrated again, now up to 4.292, with a network hashrate at over 2000 Mhash/s, soon dropping to ~1740 Mhash/s, and then up to ~3426 Mhash/s (according to mnc.vircurpool.com) all within a matter of minutes... This seems pretty dang volatile right now... =T EDIT: By the time I submitted this post, the difficulty level had actually risen all the way back up to 8.583 again, and now the're 20+ minutes between new blocks... =[
  9. I agree this could be a major ongoing issue for mincoin as well as most other altcoins. Hmm, is it even theoretically possible to have an algorithm that would be optimized for CPU mining, but resistant to GPU, FPGA and ASIC mining? My guess is no. That is, for any computable algorithm, I expect that CPUs will underperform against specialized hardware that is developed to be optimized for nothing else but processing that algorithm.
  10. Ah, thanks for that link! I hadn't found a good resource for tracking cryptocoin difficulty levels before this one.
  11. Take for example how there are many different wallet interface options for storing, receiving and sending bitcoin: cross-platform computer programs, mobile apps, web wallets, and even brainwallet generators. http://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet By mining tools I meant mainly the various miner programs. Mincoin-qt only does CPU mining, but there are other programs (GUIMiner, cgminer and CUDAminer, for example) that will use your discrete GPU for mining, which can generally increase your hashrate performance by an order of magnitude or more. There might also be interest in services for analyzing or optimizing mining performance. Yeah, that's what I was getting at: multiple instances of these resources already exist. What I'm saying is it would be helpful for newcomers if there was a one page "resource guide" we could refer to that had a categorized listing of info and/or links for all these various mincoin-relevant resources. Also I haven't found any mincoin blockchain data lookup service/website that is anywhere near as nice as bitcoin's blockchain.info.
  12. Ah, I see. Yeah, I got my CUDAminer running hashes to the local mincoin-qt, but I couldn't tell if it was really doing anything, since it didn't give me any feedback or indication of even futile attempted success from my few dozen khashes per second. At least in a pool now I can tell that things are working!
