Title: Terra Coin
Post by: underminer on December 19, 2012, 10:59:33 PM
How long does it take to get some coins?  Just curious, solo mining right now.

I would say look at me crazy_rabbit I am on the charts with you!  But coinotron is down???

Doesn't look like it's down. I wish I was higher on the charts! :-)

For me, the page doesn't load from any computer or device, also won't connect to mine.  If that isn't down, I don't know what is--unless my router started blocking it for some reason.  I'll have to look into it from another location if you are having no problems.

P2pool is supporting TRC mining, use one of public nodes or make own node to mine in pool :)
My 0,5% TRC node: http://rav3n.dtdns.net:9322
Use your TRC address as username and anything as password.
It is p2pool, so remember to reduce queue to 0  and threads to 1 in cgminer (if you use it).

A good idea for this *coin to succeed is what TangibleCryptography have said on another topic:

Quote
So the relatively simple fix.   bitcoind should have a delay send feature.  An parameter which when set in configfile indicates the number of seconds a transaction should be held before sending.
Code:

delaysend=120


Before someone freaks out about "reversing payments" this would simply be client side.   (assuming delaysend=120 is set)
1) user sends x BTC to address y (x or y may be wrong)
2) client provides transaction id
3) for the next 120 seconds the tx is NOT broadcast to the network.  
4a) In the GUI a cancel button can be shown (which disapears after tx is broadcast).
4b) In bitcoind a new two new RPCs are added.
Code:

CancelDelaySend [txid].  txid is optional.  Calling it with no txid will abort all queued delay sends
OverrideDelaySend [walletpassphrase].  Wallet passphrase is required even if wallet is unlocked (see hot wallet below).

5) delaysend expires and tx is broadcast normally

Honestly I would put some coins towards a bounty (a portion for a functional patch, and another portion when included in mainline).

This would also provide some (although not complete) protection for a hot wallet.
1) hot-wallet password is NOT stored on server.
2) hot-wallet password manually entered by admin when bitcoind is started (with no expiration on locking hot-wallet)
3) DelaySend can't be modified once bitcoind is started.  changing it requires bitcoind reset (and thus admin password).
4) DelaySend can be overridden but requires admin password.

He said that for bitcoin obviously BUT it could be used for trc to make it kinda different, and gaining some real value over the real thing (bitcoin), Its HIS idea, not mine, not to be blamed here, and this is his original text.

I couldnt find a contact button on terracoin site, didnt know how to contact them, and i would like to make this heard.
Dont know if this coin is dead by now, but im mining also so i hope not.



ALSO Im buying trc in 1000's with btc if anyone is interested pm me with price

addition to previous idea: "return" button (cancel transaction or whatever) to every transaction
great for shops for refunds??? :)

I think those are prety simple to do, but how the fuck can i contact terracoin devs???

You could use github issue tracker to submit bug reports or suggestions ; some of us already did.

I previously felt on the terracoin sourceforge discussion pages, i guess you could use those too ( https://sourceforge.net/p/terracoin/discussion/ )

Post by: nethead on December 22, 2012, 03:39:17 PM
Yup tried those, but dont know if anyone really received that.. On the discussion boards on sourceforge i have sent a mail, but maybe it waits for their approval to be visible. Hope they got it, and hope for trc success

Why do you mine in a pool for TRC?  Seems like solo is fine...

Depends on your power. Also not every1 need/want have local daemon open all the time.

For me, sometimes the difficulty drops low enough that I can power through some blocks solo-mining. Also sometimes Coinotron is down from DDOS and it's nice to have the local dameon up.


Title: Re: Terra Coin
Post by: underminer on December 23, 2012, 05:39:51 PM
I see.  I have four 5870 and two 6950 mining 24hours/day, and a lot of systems for TVs etc that I mine with in the background when I use them.  Seems like even a basic 5770 will break blocks on Terra solo right now.  I seriously can't get coinotron to load at all...

what port does this use for soloing and what is needed in config ?

rpcuser=terracoinrpc

server=1
rpcuser=somenickname
rpcpassword=somestrongpassword
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=18332

Thank you for the info their. Is their anything special I need to do like running terracoin-qt in a different way?

Just made this seems to be accepting work and blocks etc

cd terracoin
taskkill /F /IM terracoin-qt.exe
@title YOU CAN CLOSE THIS WINDOW
terracoin-qt.exe -server

Aside from having those lines in terracoin.conf file and restarting client to get it running in server mode, you should set Coinotron or BitcoinReactor
as secondary pool. That way you will leech long-polling data from them, which will make your Terracoin server update block as soon as one of those
pools detect the change, but more importantly, it will update data your miner is working on. Unless there is long-polling info from somewhere, your
miner could be working on old block for up to scantime seconds, which is 60 by default! Any block solution submitted by miner in such scenario will
be rejected by Terracoin server. Also, check if your miner is set to failover-only disabled mode = enabled mode is bugged and might make miner lag
around 25 seconds behind block change even with long-polling data received!

I didn't know that! smart thinking!

+1 for the advise given here. Never thought of that and never knew could do such things. Thank you very much for this information. Have put this into test and will report back. Seems that the long pool is updating with new blocks found so must be working and updating. Thank you for the info.

hmm.. I was either having horrible luck... or somethign funky was going on when I was solo mining the other day. This has been my first day ever solo mining.. so i'm a bit of a noob at it.

1. using cgminer 2.10.1
2. using latest teraminer-qt as server
3. using coinotron as "pool 1"
4. 2.65 ghash or mining power


I was only getting about 1 block every hour or so (16 hour run).. which seemed quite a bit low as the difficulty range should be allowing for 40+ a day, based on what I was earning at coinotron PPS.. It was actually very consistent with a block every 50-70 minutes all night long.

There were a few times where cgminer.. right after startign (within 5 minutes) would show a "best share" of 3k... 9k.. etc but no blocks were mined and no output showed for anything being found. I personally saw that happen twice.

Is this kind of thing normal bad luck.. or is there a way to tell if I have a config issue at hand? In normal cgminer readout there would be a mix of "new block detected before longpoll" and "longpoll detected new block".. cgminer also reported that the local server was utilizing coinotron for LP.

In terms of config file.. i put in what you guys suggested earlier in this thread.

Thanks.

I havent used it in a few days, but I think I was getting 20 coins every 45 min or so solo mining with dual 6950 radeons...

What is your hash rate for that gpu ?

I have some sapphires which I overclock to 900mhz or so I believe.  I run one card with -f60 for desktop and the other -f0 I think I get about 340 and 370 mhs respectively.  I even play games with the card mining...

Not sure what was going on the other day for mining this and I was not getting anything. Seems now am getting quite a fair few blocks :)
