Hmm... I've mining there for almost two hours with no issues

Because, unlike almost every other altcoin out there, this isn't just a copy/paste clone that already has all the tools/infrastructure built up around it. People are going to actually have to build things from scratch. This is the very reason why this coin will stand out amongst a sea of crap--it's different.

Is it hard to use? Yes, it isn't exactly easy. But some genius programmer will probably decide to solve the problem and then we'll get a proper miner. We just need to give it time. This isn't a pump/dump, but rather something that will actually provide benefit to the users once it is more robust.

This is one reason I recommend just be patient and solo mine if you are a small scale miner. You avoid all problems with pools, not just integrity and hacks, but also one more layer of bugs on top of the coin software itself.

(Your hash rate is likely zero at this point.)

With that said, I may launch a pool for Monero once the pool software is reliable enough for me to recommend it. It will have some features that are unique anywhere in the crypto space. If you want an invite send me a PM with "pool invite" in the subject.

I will close the Giveaway at 01:00 UST.

So get your free MRO today, before it's too late. Reddit thread

Noodle is doing some final tests on Windows and will begin testing on Linux. He expects hashrate should increase across all architectures. I can confirm a 5x increase on an i7 quad-core + Windows 7 64-bit.

Please be patient. These are actual changes to the program, not just a switch that gets flicked on. It needs testing.

Number of MRO in existence so far?

so do i , i didn't find any block these days, maybe more than 3 days,

And Dark Coin's is $25 Million, so a lot of potential here.

And remember that CN coins anonymity doesn't rely on master nodes so it is better than darkcoin. i cant see a reason why monero cant also be in the millions once news of it are spread Though we still need a nice GUI and pools.
