Title: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: michaelmclees on October 01, 2011, 09:36:57 PM Don't download or mine with the current client.
An error in the config file has caused all blocks past 100 mined to generate 0 coins. Please wait for further notice so proper code can be released. Announcing a new alternative cryptocurrency - Fairbrix First, many thanks to Lolcust, EskimoBob, and ArtForz for helping me out with this. About this new currency... This chain is much like Tenebrix, which is difficult to mine with GPU's. The major difference is, this chain has no loaded Genesis block. I have mined a few blocks along with EskimoBob, to verify the system works. The following link will take you to a zip download for Windows. removed The source will be forthcoming, so if you're not comfortable using this until it is open for all to see on GitHub, you'll only need to wait a bit. Update - 10-2-11 - A new client has been launched that solved the initial problems. Please see this thread for details. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=46528.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=46528.0) For Windows users, you can get the new client here... http://www.mediafire.com/?9gc28oo1s00lhhz (http://www.mediafire.com/?9gc28oo1s00lhhz) Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: EskimoBob on October 01, 2011, 10:06:00 PM For now, get the code: http://www.mediafire.com/?h55yd3972y5qvqd And use the Tenebrix miner with a proper port Someone will set up the git sooner or later. Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: SolidBitShop on October 01, 2011, 10:16:15 PM Im getting something like this on 1 thread CPU mining and only hashes and speed on 2 threads.
Is it working or I did something wrong? So far no block generated i think.

Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: FreeTrade on October 01, 2011, 10:17:10 PM Congratulations!
You might just have created the best CryptoCurrency yet. I'm convinced of the merit of the CPU friendly approach for encouraging wide/faster adoption and appreciate the value of removing the 7 million coin 'overhang' of Tenebrix. However, superior solutions without momentum fail all the time. Not sure how to kickstart a cryptocurrency, but I'm sure it involves lots of hustling. Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: Bobnova on October 01, 2011, 10:19:24 PM Nevermind, there isn't even a makefile for linux.
Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: EskimoBob on October 01, 2011, 10:20:26 PM fairbrix.conf
copy this to your ~/.fairbrix/ Code: rpcpassword=1 Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: Bobnova on October 01, 2011, 10:21:08 PM Last two found blocks have values of zero coins. What the hell?
Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: EskimoBob on October 01, 2011, 10:21:44 PM I have NOTHING to do with this code.
I just pushed the Lolcust/michaelmclees code to git Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: Bobnova on October 01, 2011, 10:32:14 PM Correction: Four most recent blocks found give 0.00 coins.
Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: EskimoBob on October 01, 2011, 10:41:03 PM Lolcust, can you set this stuff up at git? You have the source code and know-how. :)
Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: coblee on October 01, 2011, 10:43:20 PM Correction: Four most recent blocks found give 0.00 coins. Are you running win client or linux? I'm running linux client and I'm generating 0 coins in each block found. Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: Bobnova on October 01, 2011, 10:43:47 PM Further correction: All blocks mined since 3:13PM pacific time are listed as zero coins.
First zero coiner is one confirmation away from being confirmed, we'll see what it does. Running windows client on linux here. First two blocks gave coins, further ones have not. Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: Bobnova on October 01, 2011, 10:44:56 PM First 0coin block has 161 confirms but isn't listed as confirmed. How many does this take?
Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: Bobnova on October 01, 2011, 10:46:58 PM Lolcust is probably laughing his ass off here.
Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: EskimoBob on October 01, 2011, 10:52:31 PM Lolcust is probably laughing his ass off here. he is the one who cooked up this bowl :) get the code: http://www.mediafire.com/?h55yd3972y5qvqd And use the Tenebrix miner with a proper port Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: Bobnova on October 01, 2011, 10:54:43 PM Code has no linux makefile, makes it hard to compile in linux.
EDIT: Also, him cooking it is why he's laughing if everybody is generating zero coin blocks. It's certainly something I'd consider doing to a competitor who asked me to help make competition for myself. Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: EskimoBob on October 01, 2011, 10:57:50 PM Code has no linux makefile, makes it hard to compile in linux. get the zip, cd src/ qmake make Do your "0 coin" blocks have the coins now, after 150 confirmations?

Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: Bobnova on October 02, 2011, 12:12:23 AM 720 is the current block per my client.
No blocks since the first maybe 150 or so actually have coins in them as far as I can tell. May have been a good idea to premine further after all! There's some irony for you. EDIT: Sidenote: The client (not the miner!) is eating a tremendous amount of CPU power on linux, is there a miner built in or something? When I say tremendous, I mean literally every cycle it can get it's hands on.

Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: SolidBitShop on October 02, 2011, 12:17:37 AM Well I have mined a few blocks so far and I only got one bloc with 25 coins. The rest of them have 0.00 value and even after 300 - 400 confirmations their balance is still 0 and its says "Mined balance will be available after 0 more blocks"
Using 2thread batch file - dont show that "error" ? But mined blocks have 0. The one block that contained 25 coins was created at 100 block counts (628 blocks back) and on 1 thred batch file which "shows error? " Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: worldinacoin on October 02, 2011, 12:26:49 AM There is already one tenebrix, now another fairbrix, I thought Solidcoin came out first with the idea of CPU mining? When they come out there will be 3 CPU coin mining.
Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: Bobnova on October 02, 2011, 12:28:23 AM Not sure fairbrix counts, there appear to be only ~4k coins in existence, despite 787 blocks.

But mined blocks have 0. The one block that contained 25 coins was created at 100 block counts (628 blocks back) and on 1 thred batch file which "shows error? " Kraken, how did you get your to work? are you using windows 7? thanks Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: MaGNeT on October 02, 2011, 12:30:52 AM Not sure fairbrix counts, there appear to be only ~4k coins in existence, despite 787 blocks. Hmm, reminds me of this: Failbrix? Found 12 blocks, it says "12 transactions" but I didn't get any coins... Now the transactions dissapeared but it still says "12 transactions" on the "main" screen. I'm out of here, back to Tenebrix ;D Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: SolidBitShop on October 02, 2011, 12:51:25 AM Kraken, how did you get your to work? are you using windows 7? thanks I have just downloaded the client zip pack.

michaelmclees has asked me over IRC to take over for him. I will try to do my best. I will set up a new github.com repository with the source so people can do diffs. And generate a new genesis block.

It's not fully working yet. But I'm going to make it such that you don't need a conf file. I would not suggest mucking around with your fairbrix.conf file to try to generate coins for the original chain. This would just make people fork different chains and create a huge mess.

Also, dudes, we can theoretcially fix it without restart, just with a config update. custom_inflation=1 infaltion_trigger=(current block nucmber)+ 5 blocks post_Subsidly=25 The code was changed from the multicoin defaults by someone, in the orginal multicoin the default block when not set is MAX_INT, someone made it 100 in this fork. Why I have not idea, they should have put it in the config file probably instead of putting it in the code. You still need a relaunch, or you need to use the multi step innflation trigger code that is in multicoin to add rules to keep the 0 coin blocks valid. For some reasons this code also removed that though. Anyway, give the skill sets and the fact only 100 blocks matter with coins in them anyway, a relaunch is really the best idea here.

That's not what I observed. Coined blocks built on top of the existing chain. I haven't mined every block, and have mined several orphans. I can't say for definite, but I guess that some blocks have coins & some don't. The only problem would be someone trying to spend the 0 coins - or it would be a problem if the unexpected outcome was some coins but not 25 per block. We are now at 2000 blocks, so 25% of the chain is after I started finding coins again. Won't be long before it's the majority. Why not just go with it? I'm not precious about this, it just seems that one "#" is way less problematic than a re-write, no?

Or did you just make that change and keep your already downloaded blocks data file. Delete your blocks file and try again, remember they are not re-validated every time you restart the client. So unless you deleted your already existing block files you did not observe what you thought you did as far as what a fresh client or a re validation of the whole chain would see.

Does this mean that, if people had just made that config change everything would have continued as planned? Ironic that the relaunched chain suffered the bigger fork! As ArtForz pointed out in anther thread, it doesn't take much of a botnet to eat a cpu mined chain. While I was typing this, the count has gone up to 2070, and my balance has increased accordingly.

The clients should all have to agree on how many coins are in a block to validate them. This is what prevents someone from mining 5000 coins a block for themselves. Either the validation code in fairbrix is bugged or zero coins is treated differently. It should not be working like you are seeing, but since it is doing that either due to a bug or a some special logic it should have worked then. Now what happens if you mine 250 coins a block? That would see if the bug is only for zero coins. Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: twobits on October 02, 2011, 06:25:42 PM Ah, someone just said on irc that is looks like someone also forked the original fairbrix chain, that may explain what we are seeing... they fixed that issue then forked it.

However, I still can't get the miner to work. It still reads HTTP request failed: couldn't connect to host and json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds Eventually it shuts down after 5 minutes Help Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: 3phase on November 21, 2011, 08:41:58 PM Ok, I did receive the 38 fbx.

It still reads HTTP request failed: couldn't connect to host and json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds Eventually it shuts down after 5 minutes Help I suppose that you have the daemon up and running and that you have already compiled the miner. This is my fbx.conf: Code: rpcpassword=pass Code: ./minerd --url http://{daemon's IP address - NOT localhost}:8645 --user user --pass pass -s 3 -t 4Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: goldk on November 21, 2011, 11:08:20 PM Ok, you can call me stupid. LOL I'm not sure what all that means ... but here's what I did.
1. I have the FBX wallet working. 2. I downloaded the Fairbrix-pack and unzipped 3. I started it by opening the START-MINING MS-DOS BATCH FILE 4. I followed the instructions on the black window that appeared 5. It read "press enter if mining solo" on every input 6. It trys do start but the message reads "HTTP request failed: couldn't connect to host and json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds" Eventually it shuts down after 5 minutes I tried my own IP address and it still did the same thing. I'm not as smart as you, and I appreciate your help. :) Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: goldk on November 24, 2011, 01:14:04 AM Anyone? I need help..... please see above.
Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: 3phase on November 24, 2011, 09:26:17 AM Anyone? I need help..... please see above. Go to the Data\Fbrix_files\ directory in the folder where you unzipped the package. Edit the fbx.conf file (use notepad to open it) and change the line "daemon=0" to "daemon=1" Start Fairbrix (with Start_fairbrix.exe in the initial folder) Start the miner using start_mining.bat and do what you did before. It will work. After you make it, you might want to check out some more advanced miners suggested in the original thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=46528.0) or customize the inputs (like setting the threads number to your processor's number of cores minus 1, so that you can have a working desktop while you're mining. Good luck. Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: goldk on November 24, 2011, 12:57:00 PM Thank you. So.... do the Fairbrix automatically show up in the open wallet?
Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: 3phase on November 24, 2011, 01:11:15 PM Thank you. So.... do the Fairbrix automatically show up in the open wallet? They do. But: At the current difficulty, if you're mining with 10 KH/s (a fast processor with a few threads) you get a block every 2-3 hours. Then that block would need 150 confirmations to be credited in your wallet. At the current network hash rate, those 150 confirms can take a week or so. Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: goldk on November 24, 2011, 03:22:35 PM Cool, thanks. so.... at my current capability I should expect some fairbrix in the year 2013. LOL
I appreciate you time! Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: 3phase on November 24, 2011, 04:39:50 PM NP. At the current rate the difficulty will probably drop 75% at the next adjustment, so don't despair :)

Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: Vlad2Vlad on July 06, 2013, 09:07:19 PM Having a hard time finding feedback on fairbrix. I'd like to know if a client is still available. I'm worried its been a while and the binaries may be hacked.
Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: Vlad2Vlad on July 06, 2013, 09:07:59 PM Looks like maybe another dead thread so I'm gonna try to find another one. Thanks anyway.

Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: markm on July 06, 2013, 09:55:33 PM Fairbrix always seems to have a few people mining it at any given moment, I usually see a few connections, seldom more than eight though even with incoming port open.
The nice thing about it is people only seem to be using CPUs still, so just like BBQcoin was last year Fairbrix is one of those coins that people without GPUs can mine effectively. -MarkM- Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: worldinacoin on July 06, 2013, 11:06:10 PM I am surprise that Fairbrix is still alive, it is one of the earliest scrypt coins. Wonder anyone still have the Windows client? Want to try out mining it for nostalgic sake.
Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: markm on September 05, 2020, 03:18:58 PM Of course it is still alive, it is also still in use in the Galactic Milieu (https://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=galactic_milieu).

Right after it comes out is a good time to run around looking for new bargains, as things that people placed for sale in the past become bargains at the new rates... ...And maybe place them for sale at some higher price that will be profit to you when someone notices that changing prices have turned it into a bargain. That way the gradual drift upward in values that seems to be pretty common can serve to profitably drive active trading to make the markets lively. -MarkM- Title: Re: FAIRBRIX - Announcement - CPU friendly - GPU hostile - Tiny premine Post by: Traxo on September 18, 2020, 10:38:58 AM Just acquired 100 for exactly 78.5 DVC/FBX so I believe this is a good time to be in :) 1 FBX = 101.14 DVC According to https://latestrates.traxo.me/?from=FBX&to=DVC (using Latest Rates file) Congrats on snitching that bargain.

Considering my last purchase (weeks ago) and last nights purchase (9/22) was the only one to buy said bargain, you're welcome for being the only one actively taking advantage. It's still ~ 80 DVC per FBX. Maybe you just need to get some tokens yourself. |
