Android App Support / Is android wallet compatible with new client?
« on: February 21, 2016, 09:56:00 PM »
I guess the topic header says it all. Will the android wallet still be compatible after the fork?

Service Discussion / Re: Lost coins from cryptsy HELP PLEASE!!
« on: December 06, 2013, 02:17:01 PM »
Yes, contact support, but I will say that I've had a number of cryptsy withdrawals take over 24 hours. It's very frustrating but I'm actually getting used to it now. The first time I withdrew LTC from them it took over 48 hours. You'd be amazed what people put up with when it comes to cc's! It's a technology in it's infancy.

Just praise the heavens above that you're not with Vircurex!

Mining & Pools / Re: Do you leave your mining rig 24/7?
« on: December 06, 2013, 01:56:56 PM »
I leave my rig running 24/7. 3x 7950 GPU's, Temps 50-65, 1.6MH/s stable. I can ramp it up to 2MH/s at the weekends but I don't like doing that. If it's over 2Mh/s it might stop at 3am, then I'll find out at 7am (etc etc). Not the best, so I've opted for stability.

I could push the cards a lot more but I prefer the stability. And I have a day job. I don't want to have to have to worry about it (it's in my attic/loft). I go about my business and check it once in a while.

Technical Support / Re: Help needed on how to generate a public GLD address
« on: December 05, 2013, 02:49:38 AM »
Is your wallet encrypted? That was the problem I had when testing the paper wallet. Make sure you unlock your wallet.
The wallet isn't encrypted yet. How did you generate your private/public keys? I'm wondering if I'm generating the keys with the right software.

Technical Support / Help needed on how to generate a public GLD address
« on: December 04, 2013, 12:02:05 PM »
I'm trying to generate a public GLD address. At the step of importing the private key into my wallet (unencrypted) I'm getting the following error:

importprivkey 6uxQLN7oqq3R3LpqJduStQknHbJ3TF3H9L9vDWtjymJj4oxZ2Hj "Test"

{"code":-5,"message":"Invalid private key"}

I've seen that a few people got this during the paper wallet test.  I'm not sure I'm using the correct Private/Public key generator. Which key generator are you all using? I downloaded GLDAddress - Open Source JavaScript Client-Side GLDcoin Wallet Generator but I'm stuck at this point.

Newbie Central / Re: Poll: How did you hear about GoldCoin?
« on: December 04, 2013, 08:07:43 AM »
I first saw GoldCoin here:

http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/v2/

When researched it in detail it seemed to be more stable, and also seemed to have a lot more growth potential (IMO), than the others. So here I am.

Two hours later GoldCoin's fine
Back up to 8 cents heading to 9
Faith in the coin repaid as I knew it would, whoa yeah

Project Development / Re: Ideas from my 13yr old daughter

(i'm joking - the infrastructure isn't ready for the general public yet - we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot with the current 4-6 hour full confirmation cycle)

This is wrong. You must be confusing us with Bitcoin.  :)

I think it was the litecoin madness last week that made me think that. The strain on the network was a revelation!

Hi Bubba - go easy on her! some good ideas there!

particularly no.1 because, software limitations aside, the principle is sound and it's something that need not be executed solely by virtue of a forum/website, but  that the whole community can embrace and take part in to promote Goldcoin. For my part, this is what i intend to do:

1. Talk to anyone that cares to listen about Goldcoin and cryptos; facebook/twitter all play their part, but word of mouth is still very potent! I'm amazed at the number of people i know who are, not surprisingly, aware of Bitcoin, but have no clue as to what it is and how it works.

2. Seize upon the remotest flicker of interest by instructing them on how to obtain their own Goldcoin wallet.

3. Promise them that, once their wallet is running, if they send me their GLD address, i will send them their first 5 Goldcoins.

4. Tell them, when they inevitably ask, how much 5 GLD is worth in GBP/USD/whatever. Them remind them how much 5 Bitcoins are currently worth.

Of course, it needn't be 5, it depends how generous you're feeling / popular you are!! The point is to get word out there, and trends are everything.
All good ideas. I was at a party on Saturday and was surprised that NO young people (none, yada, zero - and these were 19-25yr olds - I might as well have been talking gibberish) were even aware of bitcoin!

How about this then:

Guerilla Advertising - We have a front man. His name is MicroGuy. MicroGuy (if you're listening), hire a helicopter and drop a sack load of paper wallets (loaded with 1 GoldCoin) over Manhattan! Instructions for downloading a GoldCoin wallet on the reverse of the paper wallet.

I'd donate 1000 GLD for that cause (and I'll fly over from London to bail you out!!!:D)

(i'm joking - the infrastructure isn't ready for the general public yet - we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot with the current 4-6 hour full confirmation cycle)

Thanks for the replies. I can see the difficulty here. Hopefully someone will find a way to overcome these limitations. The major thing people seem to be asking is just exactly how to get hold of GoldCoins.

I'll make sure I scold my daughter properly for these hair-brained ideas! :P

Hi there Jarmentra, I'm from London. Welcome! :)

13
I'll just add (before someone else does!) that 2MHz will probably bring in about 800 GLD/Day but I am ALWAYS conservative when it comes to profit!

14
It's profitable.

If you have 3x MSI 7950 Twin Frozer cards, they can be tuned to run 2MHz using Ubuntu and cgminer. This equates to approx 500+ GLD/day. At current prices you're making approx $48 per day if you sell them as soon as you get them. (9 cents USD each - see here http://gld.skillerzforum.com/). Do hold onto some though. They are grossly underpriced, and will get to $10 at least at some point. They could even go higher :)

That's a profit (even including power consumption).
AND
If you want out, you can sell the GPU's. They're valuable, and rare, so as well as making profit you have an out if you ever have enough of mining.
BUT
*The value of your investment can go down, as well as up* (but fortune favours the brave!)


Promise your dad $40/month towards power costs and see what he says.
That's my 2 penneth worth! ;D

Mining & Pools / Re: Good working pool for mining ? need good advice
« on: December 02, 2013, 02:18:27 PM »
cryptcoins.net seems is not producing any coins
I agree. I am mining LTC until my pool comes back up and the blockchain is verified. Any LTC can be converted to GLD on cryptsy ;)
