Are we any closer to Bittrex or Polo?
I suggested the coin to Bittrex earlier on IRC and they said 'It's on our list'' But they also said they had read of problems with the wallet so are hesitant.. I've had no issues with the wallet?
i saw that conversation play out in irc, and i can confirm that bittrex is concerned about the stability of the wallet...
There is no problem with the wallet, as you can see pools are working smoothly. and no one from the community report any crash or anything.
This whole "wallet issue" comes from IPOminer who stated on their website:
Jun 15 8:00 PM We added a new x11 coin, LionCoin (LION). UPDATE: The LION port has been removed due to problems with the wallet constantly having to be restarted. No blocks were found.
from:
https://www.ipominer.com/After I saw this I did a little investigating of 3 of the larger pools which I won't name.
All three pools said they NEVER had any such problem with the wallet. Also, since I am a customer of IPO miner I can tell you that they really didn't have enough hash to find blocks, in fact they claim to have found no blocks. The fact is that they found ONE block and it was an orphan. I think they were butthurt about it and decided to make up a reason to drop the coin. They usually get in early enough to rape a new coin but they were already too late to rape blocks with LION having over 20GH/s hash.
I openly challenge IPOminer to defend their statements here.Here is IPOminer's bitcointalk thread if you want to ask them about it:
https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/516047Tell Bittrex you want LION listed!support@bittrex.zendesk.comWe were ready to mine LION from launch because there was a fair amount of demand for it from our miners. I had to restart the wallet more than 5 times between block 150 and 220 to get it to continue sync'ing blocks from the blockchain.
Finding, or not finding blocks, has absolutely nothing to do with it. We often mine coins where we have 500Mh on a coin vs a network hashrate of 100Gh/s+, and rarely find blocks -- but we mine them anyway if they're profitable to mine. Why would we give up on a coin after 20 blocks just because we hadn't found a block yet? That's insane.
