Title: [TRC] difficulty and stalled chain - finally some news Post by: celkaris on April 09, 2013, 02:05:11 PM just received a github notification ; issue https://github.com/terracoin/terracoin/issues/33 was updated with some test net update regarding current TRC difficulty issues.
Will we finally get out of this ? :) Title: Re: [TRC] difficulty and stalled chain - finally some news Post by: FJBourne on April 09, 2013, 02:41:47 PM great news :)
Title: Re: [TRC] difficulty and stalled chain - finally some news Post by: crazy_rabbit on April 09, 2013, 03:32:45 PM Hi,
our new difficulty algorithm is now available for testing under our dev-0.1.3 branch. testnet supports this update since block 5182, a windows build for the development branch was also published at our sourceforge mirror: http://sourceforge.net/projects/terracoin/files/SatoshiClone/dev-0.1.3-119-win32.zip/download changelog summary (again, just for testnet right now): [testnet] diff,adjustment: EMA retargetting. - Exponential Moving Average diff computation, over the last 2160 blocks duration (roughly 3 days worth of blocks). - active on testnet since block 5182, not enabled on livenet yet. - testnet will eventually allow diff=1 mining, when last block was found more than 10 mins ago ; livenet will divide diff by two under same circumstances. - will probably be activated on livenet in a short future according to tests. see commit https://github.com/terracoin/terracoin/commit/01c20aaaaba for further informations. Note that testnet is the only network concerned right now, you have to start your client with the "-testnet" parameter if you want to participate in tests. current dataset gathered during our tests looks quite promising, although the extremely low difficulty do not represent the livenet accurately. In order to get make the blockchain usable again, we may publish this update with a short-term mandatory block update ; we'll announce the update here when satisfied with testnet gathered datasets and ready to deploy. If you are not running windows but unix/linux, proceed as follows: mkdir -p ~/currencies cd ~/currencies git clone git://github.com/terracoin/terracoin.git cd terracoin git checkout dev-0.1.3 then build as usual. cd terracoin/src && nice make -f makefile.unix -j 4 # for the daemon cd terracoin && qmake && nice make -j 4 # for qt-client thanks again for your patience. -- TRC. |
