I have to say MicroGuy. You have to be one of the most responsive owners I have seen in mining. I am grateful to see so much care in making this coin successful. I have been mining the coin for a little while now and love the dedication you guys have shown. Keep up the good work.

I am running it on mac and these are the settings I am running with.

/Applications/GoldCoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/GoldCoin-Qt -server &

Your config file goes in /Users/"username"/Library/Application\ Support/GoldCoin\ \(GLD\)/goldcoin.conf

You have to run it from the command line. If you launch it from the command line it should be path/goldcoin -server. I am running this and it works fine for me. But you also need the config file to be named goldcoin.conf or it will not work. Try this and let me know the results.

Mining & Pools / Re: Gauging interest in gld.cryptocoinmine.com going PPS
« on: November 10, 2013, 09:37:53 AM »
Hey Dreamwatcher. I have mined multiple coins now over the past few months. I have tested all kinds of different pool payout models. I have found that both PPNLS and Proportional can be volatile at times. If the block runs long then the miner takes a hit in he doesn't get paid until the block is found. Where in the PPS model the miner gets the same payout and can project payouts overtime. There were a few times I was mining proportional and the block ran over 3 days. When we finally found the block I was paid out. But only at the normal proportional rate. So I lost money over the three days. Where I should have earned 2.5 coins a day LTC. I only earned 2. So I lost 5.5 coins over that time. So I much prefer the PPS model as miners get the more predicable payout. So I would like to see a PPS pool for the GLD network, with as fast as blocks are being found the risk for the pool operator will also be lower.

Technical Discussion / Re: [HOW TO] Add a Node to the Goldcoin Network
« on: November 01, 2013, 07:20:54 AM »
Yeah. I think is something that should have been looked at long ago. Because right now. Your Pool Hashrates are much higher than the Network Hashrate. So the Network can't keep up with the shares being return. I think this may be what is happening with the pools all claiming to have discovered the same blocks. If not then there is a much bigger problem with the blockchain. Would like to help out by adding a node. But just not sure how to go about it. Worked on it a bit last night. But could get very far out of the gate. Was trying to run it off a linux system, Fedora 19 and CentOS 6.4 with no luck. If there is a Ubuntu build I can use that is fine too. Just don't want the coin to fail because the network can't ensure proper payouts.

Technical Discussion / Re: Lost wallet in HD Crash, Have address, how to recover?
« on: October 29, 2013, 11:11:31 PM »
On Mac the wallet.dat file is located in your Documents directory. You would just move this file to your new computer. Not sure if there is a difference between the wallet file on mac and windows. Would need to test with a blank wallet. I will test this later and upload results.

EDIT: The Mac location for the wallet.dat is not in your document folder that is the backup if you created one. The location is /Users/"username"/Library/Application\ Support/GoldCoin\ \(GLD\)/wallet.dat. Sorry for the confusion. Hope this helps.

Mining & Pools / Re: The next GPU for scrypt mining
« on: October 26, 2013, 09:25:38 PM »
Hey guys.
 New to this. But been mining another coin for a while. The FPGA's are not a problem as of now. The ones that are out there are very expensive and they don't provide very high hashrates. The best one out there is providing 250KH/s  for about $250.00. You can get Gigabyte or Sapphire 7950's for $200.00 or less. The 7950's provide 680 - 690KH/s. So the FPGA's are not a threat for now. They need to find a way to get the price down. But I don't see that happening for while.

Mining & Pools / Re: CGminer Help with CryptoCoinMine
« on: October 26, 2013, 09:06:35 PM »
Hey All.
 New to GoldCoin. But I have been mining LTC for a while. I have worked out the best setting for CGMiner with 7950's. So I am going to post the .conf file. So with these setting I am getting 690KH/s. Hope this helps the network to perform better.

Newbie Central / New to GLD.
« on: October 26, 2013, 08:41:01 PM »
I am new to the GoldCoin. I have been mining LTC for a while now. Been mining coins on GLD now for a few hours. Looks like a very nice coin. Hoping to go long on this coin. With all the development work going into this coin it has very great potential.
