Amigacoin

[Duce]

Any of the PPC platforms couldn't mine coins worth a crap.  Even a top end PPC Mac mining coins doesn't come close to even a low end GPU - I have tried it, and there wasn't even a break even factor to it, really.  My 5 year old nVidia GPU's had better throughput, and nVidia GPU's are notoriously poor for mining, even the modern high end Titan's like I have in this machine don't come close to modern mid-range AMD cards.

There's mining clients for the PPC Mac platform, give them a whirl.  Not a fault of the platform, CPU's just do not mine efficiently, and even mutli GPU PC's have a hard time turning a profit on BTC.  Bitcoin is now in the ASIC age, profits wise.

I  was always interested in this new cyber currency and decided to try it  and it's fairly simple to setup on an old PC in my mancave that was only  collecting dust but now has a reason to live again Maybe it could one day let us buy/trade stuff in Amiga land without paying certain companies certain fees

Hello at all,
After a lot of time I  have some news:
_ new wallets for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows platform;
_ added a trading site where you can exchange Amigacoins with others crypto-coins (https://www.cryptoaltex.com);
_ added a new pool site (http://aga.obfuscode.net);
_ here (http://cryptotrends.info/AGA/faucet) you can get some Amigacoin for free (or just ask me if you want furthermore free coins);
_ working on AROS version of cpuminer (http://perniolagi.altervista.org/AROS_cpuminer.png) and after I'll try to port the wallet on this OS.

I tried yesterday poolamigacoin.
Now I am trying obfuscode

hmm.. i get quite more yays at poolamigacoin.
When while be amigaoins sended to a wallet?

I am new to this stuff.

[sonountaleban]

On poolamigacoin you can get more coins, but you should wait more time to see them on your wallet. To be honest I prefer obfuscode (it is more reliable) and there I can get coins anytime.

Ok, how far is your AROS port of the miner?

[phoenixkonsole]

What do i need to backup on os x? Any idea where the database is stored?

[sonountaleban]

I am trying to solve a malfunction between bsdsocket, curl and multi-threading stuffs. It seems bsdsocket cannot retrieve ip address from dns when its functions are not called by main thread. :/

About location of database, look here:

Instead for the backup, here:

Hi,
please check also my last post. I would like to backup my wallet on OSX but I am not sure where it is stored.

Where can I order a Pizza with my money? ; )

[phoenixkonsole]

Ok,
got it. It was in root and not under my USER library : )

Last question:
Is it possible to exchange them with real money?
So far i found only exchange with Bitcoins.

[sonountaleban]

Hehe, you need sell Amigacoins to buy Bitcoins, but at the moment its price is too much low. (1 AGA = 0.00000002 BTC) ;-)

Yes, there are hundreds of clones and that's main reason due to all sites accept only bitcoin/real money exchange - someone got also Litecoin.
This is an incomplete list of crypto-currencies:

Usually I use this below for exchanging bitcoin/british pounds and it works pretty good for me.

I think Amigacoin can be useful only inside us community, not to earn real money, for now.

I understand that it is targeted to our "communities" but A comes before B... so at wikipedia this one comes first ; )

Could you explain me (as a noob) what your hopes are / what use we as community can make of this? I missed the hype around Bitcoins (sure I saw it in media but didn't dig into this).
