Title: [ANN][BNT] Bitnote Relaunching Today - X11 PoW/PoS
Post by: Sharrow on May 31, 2014, 07:37:51 PM
Bitnote is now released with a completely new blockchain.

THE NORMAL PoW SUBSIDY OF 50 BNT PER BLOCK HAS ONLY JUST STARTED SO IF YOU INTERESTED IN MINING - NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO START WHILE THE DIFFICULTY IS VERY LOW. HARD FORK WITH 250% ANNUAL INTEREST HAS BEEN RELEASED!!!

To ensure a fair start, blocks rewards were set to 1 coin per block for the first 1440 blocks to enable more mining pools to be set up. The normal block reward will be 50 Bitnotes for the first 3 months and tapered after that.

Specification:

  • X11 Pow/PoS
  • 10 million maximum coins
  • PoW stage for 3 months
  • 1 coin per block for first 1440 (approx 2 days)
  • 50 coins per block
  • 2.5% annual interest

Mining
Download X11 mining software here:  
Code:
https://mega.co.nz/#!rN40yKiR!wkhSAxJ4ekranMhgKvvWRdRbreAmCRuzo4goJrVRmAg

This software may generate virus scan false positives so you will need to create a rule/exception to prevent it being intercepted by your antivirus software. Extract the minderd files and create a new file with Notepad. In this files, enter the following:

Solo mining through wallet
Code:
minerd -a X11 --url http://localhost:43661 -u your_user_name -p your_password

Or

Pool mining
Code:
minerd -a X11 --url=stratum+tcp://myminingpool.com:43661 --userpass=my.worker:password


The username and password should be the same as those entered in your bitnote.conf file. Save this .text file as bitnote.bat - making sure that you choose from the 'Save as type' drop down box 'All Files' otherwise it will be saved as a text file. Place bitnote.bat batch in the same folder as minerd.exe but don't open up the file yet!

Using a CMD window, navigate In the folder where you have saved the bitnote Wallet, hold down shift key and right click on an empty space. Select 'Open command window here' and in the CMD Prompt window, type:

Code:
bitnote-qt.exe -server

This will instruct your wallet to open with the -server switch and enable minerd to work its magic. Now go back to the folder where minerd was extracted and open up bitnote.bat and minerd should now start mining.


There is a 50,000 BNT premine which is 0.5% as percentage and 0.05 as a decimal of the total 10 million BNT that will ever be produced. This is for bounties, marketing and future development work.

My sincerest apologies for removing posts. In all honesty it was a moment of stupidity and should not have been done.

The release has been plagued by non-stop attacks to spike the difficulty up which causes the blockchain to hang completely. The native retarget for each block just isn't effective. I am working on a solution to fix the issue but it's causing all kinds of compilation errors so can't be released until it works.

Not Ninja ! first 1440 blocks reward is 1 Coin, normal reward is 50 coins... and Diff retargeting is bugged you are stuck after a few block.

nb: i am not invested in this coin but i tried it.

It is same the blockchain from the re-release and it hasn't started again. The first 1440 blocks are the original ones and took several days to mine because of the difficulty spikes, which should hopefully now be fixed.

Hard fork has been released.

The subsidy rates have been increased and are very generous for early miners plus the PoS interest rate is absolutely colossal!!!

1% pool fee.


Seems like bitnote have another big problem!
Since block 1959 the pool http://bnt.777pool.com and the wallet are in different blocks.

Looks like someone is back doing attacks and there could be a blockchain fork if different amounts are being displayed. The seed nodes are working and it should settle back to right chain at some point in the near future.

If for any reason your nodes aren't being picked up, try addnode=95.85.37.201 and addnode=188.226.180.208.

Just wondering if the problem is still there if you could try deleting the blockchain from your server and recompile the daemon to see if picks up the right chain.

The nodes are currently showing to be on the same block as your pool though.

I also mined bitnote scrypt for quite a while. Be careful where you invest your mining resources guys, if this fellow can abandon the previous scrypt blockchain, what's to stop him from abandoning the x11 blockchain for another algo.

On the first post it states 50000 premine and max mineable coins is 10000000, that's 0.5% not 0.05%.

Right let's set this straight. The Scrypt blockchain was abandoned only when nobody was mining it at all. Not a single miner touched that chain for weeks.

I was conscientious of people who had mined the Scrypt blockchain and kept it running for almost 6 months because of other people's interests. In February, I stated to the people who were community co-devs as well as being miners, that the premine was too high and that it would be much better to start afresh but they wouldn't accept this, so it continued as before and until it was effectively dead. Relaunching was not a decision that was taken lightly but there was no other option available and it will not be done again.

If you were a miner wasted electricity in the process, then I'm genuinely sorry for this but the indications were clear from the very start that it would not have been successful or widely adopted. It was pointless even trying to market it and if it's of any consolation, I wasted a lot of money too on maintaining nodes, not to mention bounties where BNT was not wanted, but the biggest investment was an absolutely ridiculous amount of time keeping things going.

Coin swaps would have resulted in another large premine which would defeat the whole object of doing a relaunch to resolve issues that were prevalent from the original launch.

The ANN shows the percentage as a decimal value and how much was premined. I'll update this for you and make it more clear that it was only 50,000 out of 10 million coins.

I've tried what you suggested and it syncs here with or without nodes added to .conf.

It looks it's not syncing at times because blocks aren't been found often enough due to the difficulty being 7 and hashrate is pretty low at present, so the network is stuck on blocks for a while. Looks like it may be back to the drawing board for the difficulty calculation.

My sincerest apologies for removing posts. In all honesty it was a moment of stupidity and should not have been done.

The release has been plagued by non-stop attacks to spike the difficulty up which causes the blockchain to hang completely. The native retarget for each block just isn't effective. I am working on a solution to fix the issue but it's causing all kinds of compilation errors so can't be released until it works.



I asked a question and was met with a deleted post message.  What happens to our old BitNotes?  Is everything we mined in the past invalid now?  Will there be a way to exchange old for new?  If not why should I mine this coin at all?  Plus now the DIFF is at .7 with no one mining, what is the retarget rate?
