[GPUC] GPU Coin | Mandatory Wallet Update

[SP4RK7]

One thing to note about this launch option:

It will not be 100% predictable leading up to the start of mining rewards on when mining will start.  KGW is currently non deterministic enough in that when large amounts of hash power gets added/accelerated, blocks do get generated a little bit faster during large gaps. 

Even with a -1 day look ahead, we're looking at an error margin of at least +/- 8 hours.

Obviously as we get closer to block 2600.. we start approaching 99.99% predictability.. So if we launch wallets on saturday (starting at block 200 or so).. expect it to be anything between That time +8 hrs, to that time +24 hrs.. with more zeroing in as we approach closer...

So it has drawbacks.. But ultimately it's fair in that everyone will know and be able to see which block we are on, and they make their own judgement on when they apply their miners .. pools will be up and ready to go.. so you can start hashing saturday , and just leave it on.. if you are afraid of missing the boat...  At somepoint whenever the switch over happens, your miner on pool will be earning.

I took micryons suggestion and wish to put the wallet out Saturday to allow the network to ramp instead of hitting a wall of traffic.  This should alleviate all prior issues and provide the proper launch.  I will be updating the OP with block countdowns to inform everyone when the 20,000 GPUC blocks will start.

Sounds like a good plan, but PLEASE
make sure the 20,000 GPUC blocks will
start as planned on SUNDAY BETWEEN
3PM and 5PM Eastern.  No one wants to
be up at 4 am again Monday morning
seeing if everything is OK when the
real 20,000 coin launch is. And we also
don't want it to accidentally kick in
Sunday at 4 am!

Everything sounding great so far, a lot more organized and I'm sure this will be a successful launch.

Could maybe do with updating the first post to let everyone know, otherwise bound to be people who miss this info

Again ?

So if the wallet is released Saturday that means solo mining is possible that day too right? Or am i completely wrong?

You can solo mine I imagine, but you will only get 1 GPU coin per block found

[bigjme]

yes you can solo mine as of saturday, and pools will be set up saturday aswell ready for sunday.

but what pools are we all picking? what seems/has proven to be the best so far in stability?

Hashfever and Poolerino are ones I've mined with before and always been pretty reliable I'm sure there will be quite a few jumping in once the coin is fully launched

[ocminer]

So...  Get ready for the next launch..

Test and Prepare Your miners  @ https://gpu.suprnova.cc
Mine Vertcoin until the switch will be done automatically like two times before already.


If you rather like to Mine Pandacoin until the launch, look at https://panda.suprnova.cc

Jump in,  lets get this thing finally Rolling!

I think you may be wrong about the time. Twitter says 23:00 EST.

Xhash was the first one up and the most reliable in both (failed) relaunches, so I'm sticking with that.

NeverLaunchCoin, from the devs of PotatoCoin !

Just looking through the thread I cannot find this information so:

Does anybody know if there will be a set price in GPUCoin for the GPUs on the store, or if the price for GPUs in GPUCoin will be calculated when purchasing based on the price of bitcoin?

With the first option there is a risk for the GPUCoin store to lose money, but in general the price of GPUCoin itself would have some backing.

With the second option the GPUCoin store will always make money, but the price of GPUCoin itself versus bitcoin would become arbitrary and could go down.

[bigjme]

Most likely the second option

[yaboymarvo]

second option

[tylerderden]

Xhash is good but i lost a shitload of dyamic coins on there the other day. not their fault, that coins a forked out turd. Suprnova never lets me down. Just make sure you have some failovers so your not hosed if shit goes south.

I think these are great changes to the launch! Lets people slowly add to, test, and be ready to go. No more fire drills. Thank you devs & GPUC!

Yes that's what we're hoping for.   Also will try to get OSX wallet out at the same time.. I don't actually have the build env setup, but getting a friend to do it for me ..

Linux/Debian wallet too right?!  *nudge nudge from a top IPO investor

I thought you could just compile that yourself from the source code?

Linux QT self compile is a bit of a pain.. daemon compile is easy though.

I'll try to get a ubuntu QT distro out.. after saturday launch is smooth .. but no promises on that front..
