Title: [ANN] Restart of Quantumcoin (SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED)
Post by: Lhunephel on June 06, 2013, 11:53:44 AM

Because the first start of Quantumcoin failed I'll try a better start now. The old block chain of Quantumcoin is dead. Please update your client first before mining.

Check the hash of the current genesis block first (you can get it by calling "quantumcoind getblockhash 0").
Code:
0x3702b0ae46c7d1bca40a84f5467a9c3cfd03ed2be30731d370165e9ab5e0be76

I'll push the updated sources and windows binary today at 05:00 PM (UTC). SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED.



  * based on the latest version of Litecoin
  * total of 256 million coins
  * block maturity after 120 confirmations
  * block value is cut in half every 256000 blocks
  * dynamic retarget interval and target timespan, depending on the networking hashrate
  * increasing block value with increasing difficulty

The minimum block value is 10 and the maximum block value of 50 will be reached when difficulty reaches appr. 110. The reward of the first 250 blocks is higher.


The sources are available on GitHub (https://github.com/quantumcoin/quantumcoin) and should work on Linux and Windows.

A Windows binary is available at http://www.quantumcoin.org/files/quantumcoin.zip.

There is one DNS seed with three nodes available and seeding through IRC is also working. It should not be necessary to manual add nodes.

The current difficulty is noted at http://www.quantumcoin.org at the bottom of the page. There is also a block explorer available at http://qtc.p2pool.nl/chain/Quantumcoin.

Enjoy.



example quantumcoin.conf:

Code:
rpcuser=quantumcoinrpc

Can you give an estimate of the difficulty @ block 101?

Not sure at the moment. Maybe 0.1.

Post by: r3animation on June 06, 2013, 02:40:19 PM
No such thing as board time.

Each user can set their own timezone so it's better to use UTC (international standard).

My board time is in UTC ;)

So the restart is at 5:00 PM UTC.

how many seconds for one block?


Title: Re: [ANN] Restart of Quantumcoin today at 05:00 PM (UTC)
Post by: Petr1fied on June 06, 2013, 03:22:23 PM
Between 60-240 seconds (1-4 minutes) by the looks of the description.


Title: Re: [ANN] Restart of Quantumcoin today at 05:00 PM (UTC)
Post by: Lhunephel on June 06, 2013, 03:51:01 PM
That's right, Petr1fied. The target spacing depends on the network hash rate (latest 16 blocks). The minimum target spacing of 60 seconds will be reached with 900000000 hashes per second (900 MHash/s).


Title: Re: [ANN] Restart of Quantumcoin today at 05:00 PM (UTC)
Post by: Lhunephel on June 06, 2013, 04:23:06 PM
The starting difficulty will be 0.09706861. The reset of the block chain will take place in 36 minutes.

Thanks :) I have connection to 62.163.9.155 too, 3 connections in total.

So:

addnode=62.163.9.155
addnode=78.47.197.236

Any more? Add to list!

FIXED - Deleted everything in the data folder except the conf and tried again.  I must have still had the old stuff somehow.

Can't sync here.  Added nodes.  With restarts I see blocks going up from 50 to 55 then 59, but client isn't pulling the blocks for me for some reason.

I doubt I'm going to mine this myself (at least not right now) as my miners are committed elsewhere but every credit to Lhunephel for releasing a coin that definitely can't be accused of being an instamine coin or an orphanfest and doesn't require miners to waste their resources for 4000+ blocks to get to the paying blocks.

Good luck with this coin, it's certainly off to a good start although you're definitely going to need some pools up and running ASAP.

I hope that somebody will set up a pool soon. I'm not familiar with pushpool and don't wanted to set up a not working or instable pool. I dropped BigVern a line, but now response until now :( The difficulty should lower with a rising network hash rate. A higher network hash rate results in a lower target timespan. At the moment solo mining should still be possible. Until now I found three blocks and I only have a small mining rig with two GPUs.

But I'm really glad that the second start of this block chain was a lot of better than the first one :)

Hi all,

I created a p2pool and blockexplorer.

Due to the exotic retargeting some stats might be off, but for p2pool mining this should not be an issue as payouts are calculated on real blockvalue.

Address of the pool
http://qtc.p2pool.nl:9500

The stats are at
http://qtc.p2pool.nl/stats/

The blockexplorer can be found at
http://qtc.p2pool.nl

Let me know if u encounter any issues. Haven't found a block yet because diff is pretty high for my miners..

Cheers!

EDIT: It's a P2Pool so use your wallet address as username. On the stats page you can find a description on how to mine.

Post by: Lhunephel on June 06, 2013, 07:08:43 PM
@tyrion70: Cool :) Thanks for providing an explorer and p2pool. That's great.

The value of one block increases with the difficulty. This is a list of the block values until difficulty 20. The formula is rather simple: nSubsidy = ((0.2 * exp(nDifficulty / 250) / pow(nDifficulty, -0.25)) * 50), but working. The minimum block value is 10, the maximum block value is 50 (will be reached with appr. difficulty 110).

Code:
0.000000 = 0.000000
1.000000 = 10.040080
2.000000 = 11.987589
3.000000 = 13.319620
4.000000 = 14.370230
5.000000 = 15.255568
6.000000 = 16.031010
7.000000 = 16.727643
8.000000 = 17.364805
9.000000 = 17.955406
10.000000 = 18.508524
11.000000 = 19.030804
12.000000 = 19.527266
13.000000 = 20.001803
14.000000 = 20.457497
15.000000 = 20.896834
16.000000 = 21.321848
17.000000 = 21.734230
18.000000 = 22.135398
19.000000 = 22.526555
20.000000 = 22.908732

@Sondey10mg: We're at block 99 at the moment. The first 50 blocks got a block value of 0. The last 49 blocks got a block value of 10. So there should be 490 QTCs available.

Yeah I found the code in the code ;-) Thing is, p2pool is written in python so you can't just copy it. It's also in a oneliner. For example:

Code:
lambda height: 1*500000000 >> (height + 1)//840000

So far I never took the time to figure out how to calculate more exotic nSubidies.. I'll have a look into it though.. :) If you have any ideas let me know..

Cheers

Title: Re: [ANN] Restart of Quantumcoin (SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED)
Post by: tyrion70 on June 06, 2013, 07:27:45 PM
Found the way it's done with bitbar:

Code:
def get_subsidy(nCap, nMaxSubsidy, bnTarget):
    bnLowerBound = 0.01
    bnUpperBound = bnSubsidyLimit = nMaxSubsidy
    bnTargetLimit = 0x00000fffff000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000


    while bnLowerBound + 0.01 <= bnUpperBound:
        bnMidValue = (bnLowerBound + bnUpperBound) / 2
        if pow(bnMidValue, nCap) * bnTargetLimit > pow(bnSubsidyLimit, nCap) * bnTarget:
            bnUpperBound = bnMidValue
        else:
            bnLowerBound = bnMidValue


    nSubsidy = round(bnUpperBound, 6)


    if nSubsidy > bnUpperBound:
        nSubsidy = nSubsidy - 0.000001


    return int(nSubsidy * 1000000)

At least python knows the exp function ;-) Now to change it to Quantumcoin... I think it should be something like this:

Code:
def get_subsidy(bnTarget):

    return int(((0.2 * exp(bnTarget/ 250) / pow(bnTarget, -0.25)) * 50) * 1000000)

Or straight in the dict:

Code:
        SUBSIDY_FUNC=lambda target: int(((0.2 * exp(bnTarget/ 250) / pow(bnTarget, -0.25)) * 50) * 1000000),

I'll experiment a bit :)

Code:
2013-06-06 21:52:31.282851 > exceptions.NameError: global name 'exp' is not defined

Apparently exp is not a valid python function..

@Sikon my stats from when I started the pool:
Code:
 [P]ool management [G]PU management [S]ettings [D]isplay options [Q]uit
 GPU 0:  72.0C 4056RPM | 388.3K/359.8Kh/s | A:392 R:268 HW:0 U:  6.58/m I:19

 GPU 2:  73.0C  69%    | 169.9K/173.2Kh/s | A:101 R:190 HW:0 U:  1.70/m I:19

I just reset my statistics to see how it's now. It usually takes p2pool some time to get the share diff at a good level. Have u got your scan and expiry time at 1?
Code:
[Q]ueue: 0

EDIT:
My scan and exp setting were wrong to... lol

Anyways since reset it looks like this:

Where most rejects seem to come from the fact that my cards sometimes find a share at the same time.

Just restarted the pool to implement the correct subsidy function..

Code:
Total block value: 10.438951
:) sounds a lot better..

for the record, this is the bitcoin/networks.py part involved:
Code:
def get_subsidy(bnTarget):
    import math
    return int(((0.2 * math.exp(bnTarget/ 250) / pow(bnTarget, -0.25)) * 50) * 1000000)

nets = dict(
    quantumcoin=math.Object(
        SUBSIDY_FUNC=lambda target: get_subsidy(target),
    ),

Cheers

Because the first release of QTC really failed I decided to try it with a clean restart. That's what just happened. And I think the block chain had a really good restart and is working like expected. The old block chain is dead. Fetch the latest sources from GitHub or download the latest Windows binary to join the new and active block chain.

Post by: Lhunephel on June 07, 2013, 07:50:22 PM
@tyrion70: But I think there's something wrong with the displayed retarget interval. The maximum retarget interval is 15. Also I think the target spacing is not 60 seconds at the moment. Have a look in the sources (quantumcoin/src/main.cpp), there are three methods calculating the retarget, target spacing and target timespan parameters. I think the p2pool code has to be modified like with the block values.

You're right; I used the wrong spacing and interval params; same as with the subsidy.. But those values are really only used for statistic purposes. I'll take a look at them over the weekend.

At the moment the hash rate is too low for the block chain to work like expected :(


Title: Re: [ANN] Restart of Quantumcoin (SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED)
Post by: Petr1fied on June 08, 2013, 02:22:02 PM
That probably goes to prove that although people say they want a fair release with a difficulty of 1.0 so that it's not an orphanfest they don't actually mean it. What they really want is to mine when it's very easy so they can find lots of blocks. They just don't want the orphans that go hand in hand with that.


Title: Re: [ANN] Restart of Quantumcoin (SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED)
Post by: ShowerFarts on June 08, 2013, 05:22:48 PM
I tried. I threw my modest 1000 Khash at it until the client would no longer sync. I did think it was weird near the end when I was finding all of the blocks and there were no new blocks detected on the network. RIP quantumcoin.


Title: Re: [ANN] Restart of Quantumcoin (SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED)
Post by: Lhunephel on June 08, 2013, 06:32:56 PM
I don't think that the block chain should already be declared as dead. At least I hope it. Maybe it takes some time until people will be willing to join. But I think Petr1fied is right. Everybody whines about the new coins with a very low difficulty, with an high amount of precalculated blocks, with a lot of orphans. But when you do a fair release with a higher difficulty as normal, a very fast retargeting at the beginning, nobody is interested. It's sad, but looks like it's the reality.


Title: Re: [ANN] Restart of Quantumcoin (SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED)
Post by: Lhunephel on June 08, 2013, 10:22:06 PM
I updated several parameters to make the block chain reacting smoother, hopefully making it more interesting for other miners. Updated sources are available on GitHub now. Because the block chain is not active at the moment (last block is several hours old :() the changes are active immediate. Please update your clients before mining the block chain. An updated Windows binary is also available. The retargeting is now a lot of faster with lower network hash rate and the difficulty should change smoother. Also the target timespan is now decreasing faster with increasing network hash rate.

The block explorer (http://qtc.p2pool.nl/chain/Quantumcoin) says there are 208 blocks and the difficulty is @ 3.306 which explains why it's dead. The difficulty algorithm for the start must have been a bit over the top for it to get as difficult as that in so few blocks.

If anything this topic just goes to show that people are full of shit in general and don't want a fair release. They want the best of both worlds, a ridiculously low starting difficulty but without the orphans that go hand in hand with it.

I updated the sources, also changed the TCP ports and client version to be sure to forget all already existing blockchains. I modified the calculation of the target interval and target time span and think it's now more friendly. Also I added a higher reward for the first 200 blocks. I'll soon upload the Windows binary and push the sources on GitHub.

Hey guys,

The blockexplorer wasn't showing all blocks due to it having no connections.. Sorry for that..

I've downloaded the latest client. Can some of you PM some nodes? (or email them to p2poolnl @ googlemail . com)?

I'll have it updated shortly then.

Btw, if you notice anything off with the blockexplorer please let me know at above address. I sometimes miss things in topics :)

Nice premine btw like this.. ur the only one mining with this start..

Code:
    if(nHeight < 10) {
        nSubsidy = 1000.0 * COIN;
    } else if(nHeight < 50) {
        nSubsidy = 500.0 * COIN;
    } else if(nHeight < 100) {
        nSubsidy = 250.0 * COIN;
    } else if(nHeight < 250) {
        nSubsidy = 100.0 * COIN;
    }

when i downloaded the code it was at block 280 already...

Coins will be used to honor infrastructure around the blockchain. If your block explorer is fixed I can send you 1000 QTCs when you provide me your address. The first pools (p2pool and pushpool) will also receive each 1000 QTCs.

You ofcourse mean 10000 QTC for the blockexplorer and 10000 for the p2pool since you mined 64000?

My address is:
Mgfn59eee1Z1h1ud44P8Vnc2HxWGuYshXV

Still wondering what ur going to do with the other 44000 coins though.

blockexplorer: http://qtc.p2pool.nl/
p2pool: http://qtc.p2pool.nl:9500
p2pool stats http://qtc.p2pool.nl/stats

@tyrion70: First I posted that the sources and the Windows binary are available. After the post I started mining. I don't have 64000 coins at all at the moment, so I'm pretty sure that there mined more people than myself after the release...

There will be no relaunch of this block chain anymore. All good things come in threes.

I believe this to be true - the difficulty is soooo low my client kept becoming unresponsive from the number of blocks my rig was solving.

I stopped mining to give other people a chance.

In total 1968 blocks solved

39 blocks in 1 minute

Also question for the dev - I noticed the difficulty was going down at one point while mining which made no sense to me considering the block generation rate - is this by design?


Title: Re: [ANN] Restart of Quantumcoin (SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED)
Post by: Lhunephel on June 25, 2013, 07:02:36 AM
It's by design to have a small difficulty to not run in issues when the network hashrate increases very fast and just drops afterwards. The difficulty should increase slowly with increasing networking hashrate and should decrease very fast with decreasing network hashrate.

Good idea as that is what causes a number of issues with the other coins.

So maybe you didn't get all 64k but at least all or most 500 and 1000 blocks..

You should be more open on this I think and be more clear on what other bounties you will be offering.

Not sure. What other bounties are necessary? The giveway is still running. A pushpool would be very nice.

Btw. I think the explorer has an issue. The block chain is at height 4968 at the moment.

Difficulty is still low. Good moment to join the block chain. Block value is at 10 at the moment and will increase with increasing difficulty.

I see you changed something 4 hours ago?? Did you compile that in your client already??

Post by: Lhunephel on June 25, 2013, 04:39:48 PM
Sure not everything is running as expected, because the block chain includes some more modifications as with a normal release ;) And of course Not sure what's wrong. My nodes are all running without issues.

In the sources:

    // Check proof of work
    if (nBits != GetNextWorkRequired(pindexPrev, this))
        return DoS(100, error("AcceptBlock() : incorrect proof of work"));

GetNextWorkRequired() uses the methods GetTargetSpacing() and GetInterval() to calculate the next difficulty. Maybe the issue is that those methods depends on GetNetworkHashPS()? But I think GetNetworkHashPS() should always return the same hashrate.

This is very good coin for solo mining for people that have not tried before. As the difficulty is so low you will found out in no time if you have your conf file correctly configured.

The difficulty is so low even CPU mining will deliver a number of blocks in not time at all.

You may get a large number of rejects but you will definitely be solving blocks like there is no tomorrow.

There is something seriously wrong with the difficulty algorithm - unless it is by design to have a large number of rejects to control the money creation - which is not a bad idea as the difficulty stays super low and anyone can mine solo.

Dude you do not need a pool - you can honestly CPU mine this coin solo

just open notepad put this in

rpcuser=world
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=11083
server=1

maxconnections=100
rpcallowip=192.168.0.*


and save it as

quantumcoin.conf

in this dirrectory

C:\Users\"YourPCUserName"\AppData\Roaming\Quantumcoin

and you will be mining like there is no tomorrow.

Its good to learn how to mine solo so when a new coin is released you can get it in there quickly before the difficulty shoots up.

With a GPU you would probably solve a block every 10 - 30 seconds.
