+1 Please keep us posted. There is hope in open source!

How many MH do you get now?

Network hash rate is approaching 1 GH/s very soon. Solo mining can result in very low reward

I created /r/Earthcoinmarket on reddit earlier, if anyone wants to trade Earthcoins.

I wanted to say that many people are unsure about this coin at the moment. The 2% premined is a major concern for many. I hope we can get some transparency going, I think it's necessary otherwise this project will be dead in a few weeks. The developer stands to make far more profit if they can make this a serious coin, versus a quick cash out.

Also I hate to say this but the the offical website for this coin is not very good, some bad choices overall. First the .biz domain is a low quality TLD, often associated with spam sites and will receive negative SEO. Second the html is using tables for positioning of design, horrible practice that died years ago. Finally the logos are using blending options/heavy bevels, far from modern design. I recommend hiring professionals to make this coin more appealing and presentable.

Best of luck and I hope this coin succeeds, currently investing a bit of my time to mine it in case it does.

presume it's been said but, for me, it's a bit too like internet explorer coin logo-wise.

Here is the fix for the rampant "500 Error" that some pools are still getting.

First you should probably be using:

https://github.com/Tydus/litecoin_scrypt.git
https://github.com/ahmedbodi/stratum-mining.git

Instructions on how to setup can be found here:

https://github.com/TheSerapher/php-mpos/wiki/Quick-Start-Guide

The key setting (due to I would assume earthcoind supporting messaging) is this in thestratum-mining/conf/config.py file:

COINDAEMON_SHA256_TX = 'yes'

According to ahmed_bodi, that feature enables the processing of scrypt transaction messages, the block_hashes will then be correctly processed and the earthcoin daemon will accept them as valid.

Anyways, I figured in the spirit of fairness all pools should have access to this, not just a select few.  Also thanks to my miners on earth.vircurpool.com for sticking things out while I figured this out.

And thanks to ahmed_bodi for his direction.

Thanks guys. This is great.

The mining of Earthcoin goes crazy, the network hash reached 1.6 Gh/s or 1627 Mh/s, wow:

    "blocks" : 4054,
    "currentblocksize" : 14542,
    "currentblocktx" : 57,
    "difficulty" : 20.86211720,
    "errors" : "",
    "generate" : false,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "hashespersec" : 0,
    "networkhashps" : 1627156981,
    "pooledtx" : 59,
    "testnet" : false

Looks like i hit about 5 blocks in the various pools.....would have done a lot better mining this one solo   live and learn!
