[ANN] Announcing Galaxycoin - GLX, the new PoW/PoS coin, no premine!

[Silvano]

Cryptcoins announces its new galaxycoin pool:

galaxy.cryptcoins.net

-Proportional payout per block based on your share ratio to the pool's total shares for each block.
-Stratum Vardiff.
-Work who finds the block is awarded 2% of the block off the top.

3% pool fee is high....

Not happy for this pool.
i mine for 5 hours, @¶615khash.
my window of cgminer said i found 3 blocks but i saw only one in the pool stats.
there isn't tips to know if i found orphans, and payemets delay lot after confirmations.

really not a good pool for me at this time. maybe on future, developer will upgrade this pool and his simple and not complete  graphic and informations.

[danbi]

New permanent node: 193.68.21.36

New GLX pool:
http://glxpool.digsys.bg
Proportional payment
No pool fees
Stratum +Vardiff

Please note the pool is still in testing phase, so there might be glitches.

Are you mad? This error:"WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Download a newer client version."
don't allow the client to synchronise which simply means:
-can't send coins
-can't receive coins
-can't SOLO MINE
The coin is useless this way. Version 1.3 reports that it is v.0.5.0.0.
Also how can you monitor anything without a synched wallet?

I had a different experience that you; even with that error I can send/receive/mine GalaxyCoins.

I also have a working pool at galaxycoin.chriskoeber.com (No Fees, BTW).

I suggest as other posters have mentioned to add the permanent node and then see if the client can sync the blockchain.

Does allow me to solo mine,
Does allow me to send coins,
Does allow me to receive coins.

No problem!

P.S.
I can successfully send coins to cryptsy (just checked). What else I need?

[momchilandonov]

Sorry for my outburst back then guys. But not being able to sync usually means no transactions and I suppose no solo mine based on what the tutorials say for solo mining (wait to be synched before starting solo). Strangely my wallet really synced right now for the very first time.

I too observe this "WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Download a newer client version." message.

When my stratum server finds a block, it gets submitted, but.. nothing appears in the wallet. The block information is available to the network however:

However, other wallets do not see this block!


Is there a functioning block explorer somewhere?

Might be, I am not configuring the stratum server right?

[El_Nickio]

Zero confirmations so looks like it's an orphan

Would you mind pming me? I'd like to get some people testing mining on my updated client

I've had this happen too, as well as the broken difficulty allowing infinite mining bug that really doesn't exist thing, which happened to me as well. Buggiest coin I've met.

Might be. The pool has found 6 blocks so far two of which orphans, although a grep of AddToWallet in debug.log has found 8 cases. What happened to those other blocks?

It might be buggy, but there are over 500 MH/s trying to mine it.

no pools for this coin?

no pools for this coin?

glxpool.digsys.bg works already.

[selfowner]

http://galaxycoinmining.no-ip.org/ new pool
pps, 0.5% fee, vardiff

[w0lf0.]

the link of qt 1.3 version is 0.5,any new links?

[eivsemb]

Why do I get the message ""WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Download a newer client version." from the client? Do I have the wrong client version or is it a problem for everyone? What happens to the coins which are automatically sent to the address from the pool?

[GoldSeal]

So has anyone, period, successfully mined a GalaxyCoin at all within the last few days?

it's still working for me. however, orphan rate has increased from 25% to about 55%.

Don't worry, the client is still completely functional with that error.

So is it broken or just another scammer pool?
