there are no binaries at this time. you have to build yourself.

How to check when i am start mining ?

Just
./pyrited getinfo
Or what

addnode=5.189.136.4:6996
addnode=203.104.37.203:6996

did you sort it out?

current net stats:


make sure you're on the right chain

experiment? it's mean coin will be abandoned soon?

Why would you not simply release the wallet for download? you obviously built it, tested it, and are running it?

If you're on linux you should have no problem building it. Everything is there. I don't have a windows machine to build/test, so we'll have to rely on community members until I sort something out.

I see. Okay !!!

Let's not assume the worst please.  ::)

I'll try mining some! Without ASIC, it is possible.

that's fine. block maturity is 200. you have 792 coins unconfirmed

Yes thank you sir.
Now difficulty is so high

Can this mine with gpu

I think it's just new people joining the network. Could be AWS. I modified the algo and afaik there is no known gpu miner at this time.

Is there still a luck to cpu mine this ?

Please win wallet

Fighting with MXE setup on my VM. It's coming later I hope.


It's even worse now. Can't hit a block myself  :D

I think we need a discord.

Sure, a bit later maybe.
Is anyone getting blocks or is it just 1 person performing a DoS?

Comunity talk address ? Discord web page ?

Will make one eventually, or the community will make one before me.

I got block 148.

(*^‿^*)

Are you using a quantum machine?

added a simple block explorer. did anyone successfully compile a windows qt wallet?

Edit: Windows wallet added to GitHub

how to start mining in win-wallet?

How to mine this coin.

"setgenerate true" in debug console

you won't see hashrate, but don't worry it works.

block time 10minutes and maturation 200block ? Are you crazy ?
so i'm have to wait 36hours for 1 block ? omg
ohh man too many shitcoin appeared this month...


bye

Thanks for stopping by!

Lol. How terrible, just like btc. how will we ever succeed  :P

Two cpu's put to the task.

I have been searching for a sha256q compatible miner in order to combine my two cpu's hashrate and mine to one wallet.

I cannot find any miner whatsoever that supports sha256q.

Has anyone of you guys tried the same and maybe had more luck than me?

I am testing one right now. (Yet to hit a block on mainnet, but it works on testnet). Also will try to setup a pool today.

You are my favorite person right now!

I managed to dig up a standalone miner for sha256q algo.

I found it here: https://github.com/bitbaba/bitgold (https://github.com/bitbaba/bitgold) following the link to pre-built miner

It works on testnet with the following params:
Of course with a pyrite.conf file set up accordingly.

Am currently running it on two machines on mainnet. Will report back if I hit anything

Interesting. I didn't even know that someone's done Q before. Did you find anything with it? I added my fork of cpuminer-opt to GitHub.

I was going to set up a pool, but I don't have time to maintain it. I had yiimp running briefly today, but it took so much effort that I am not looking forward to being on standby in case something goes wrong with it. I'd rather focus on the coin itself. Maybe someone else will set one up on their existing platform?!

I don't know anything about that other coin. i simply googled sha256q.

Now I can confirm that this minerd that I am testing has hit me one block of pyrite.

I take it that whatever you are using is actually better/faster since this one is really old.

I can try and speak to someone about making a pool but I need to know if you think this will be only cpu or eventually also gpu mineable? Different target audience :)

Oh I see. I think a GPU miner is coming. Wouldn't qualify this coin as CPU only even at this point. Maybe there is one in the wild for that other coin?! I can look at making one for nvidia.

Good stuff!

I will try and spread the word to a pool op or three :)

Also if you happen to have a windows build of said cpuminer-opt I will happily help testing it.

Not much of a builder here.

i need windows wallet link please !!

https://github.com/pyritepirate/pyrite/releases/download/1.0.0/pyrite-win-1.0.0.zip

PoW/PoS is already active. PoS blocks happen when transaction gets sent to mempool. PoS reward is 0 + fees. The more transactions, the more PoS blocks basically. The first PoS block was an orphan though...so I'm not 100% if it works correctly, but we'll get there if it doesn't.  ;D

Also, halving time and supply approximation is based on 50:50 ratio of PoW to PoS blocks, so it can vary...

my windows wallet doesn't connect to the netwerk, how can i solve this?

I would like to know why I am undermining in the pool and I do not get anything with 5 tb ... my wallet is good ....

If you are mining here: asiapool.trade  (http://asiapool.trade) you are wasting time and money.

Not mineble on fair launch?

https://preview.ibb.co/cHSrRV/wtf.png (https://ibb.co/m28LLq)

This coin launched a few days ago. Ann was posted 16 blocks in. What CPU is that? Hashrate seems low....

I think someone from community (when it forms) better make one and admin it. I can stop by occasionally with updates if someone assigns me a role or whatever. Other than what's being said here there isn't much going on. I'm a single entity, there is no team, and there is no immediate plan yet other than setting up a webiste. I personally don't want to waste time on discord answering everyone's questions or bullshit you with unrealistic ideas. If you're looking for a pump and dump this ain't it.  Just keeping it 100 with you... Together we can make this a successful currency.

Reserved.

Building it now.

I love those quote. Bold sentences with 14pt size.
Love it so much.

Ryzen 1800x @ 3.8Ghz \ miner gold.

Use cpuminer-opt. I don't think the other miner is optimized at all for Ryzen, it's very old.

https://preview.ibb.co/mNT1tA/wtf.png (https://ibb.co/giyefq)

did you clone the repo or download from releases? you need to clone it.

Looks like net hashrate went x10 very quickly. Did someone figure out a GPU miner?

this have already pool for mining ?
why diff is so high ?
i dont get block, just days one when release wallet i got block

until now i dont get block ???

I don't know. Maybe someone has set up a private pool; Maybe it's just a lot of processing power that joined because thread kept getting bumped today, or maybe there is a gpu miner that someone made. I can report that cpuminer-opt gets +-12MH/s on my 4-core processor, but until there is a pool I don't have a chance with it.

Probably because 7 blocks were found in 15 minutes.

Edit: My point is, it could be a coincidence, but considering it has been 29 minutes since the last block, I am thinking it was just bad luck.

I know you weren't trying to be cheeky.  :D

its normal or not sir ?

Thank you! Will add to OP.

Nice, without miner binaries for windows :-\

I'll get on that once I fix my dependencies after cross-compiling a windows wallet for you. It's a separate science, you know.

sense to compile cpuminer can't see. there need ccminer, this is not a CPU coin

As mentioned before. It was never declared as a cpu-only coin. Mining started in-wallet, then cpu miner, next progression is gpu...then maybe even fpga, who knows.

you are misleading people, this is not a CPU coin at all

Misleading who exactly? The only mislead person at the moment is you, sir.

well, the pool is working, we'll see

Yes, thanks for the pool. I will work on a gpu miner, since I gather that whoever made one isn't willing to share...

but that shit of altcoin is this that does not work anywhere.
I'm wasting time with this for what? If they do not know how to do, let them know.
this week is already the third sha 256 that serves to waste time ...

What is it that you're trying to do that doesn't work?

When will more information about the project, whitepaper, roadmap and even a group be available on the discord or website?

GPU MINER: https://github.com/pyritepirate/ccminer/tree/linux

You have to clone and build from this branch. It's Linux only for now and should work as intended.  I have no way of testing one for Windows, sorry. Hopefully someone nice in the community will contribute to a Windows version.

Intresting algo. How many blocks for retargetting?

gpu miner for windows please

so if it's not just a cpu coin explain to me why they add two pools and I'll go with antminers and I can not mine.
  created a gpu coin of sha256 but I do not know why ... because sha256 is with a very high difficulty.
  nothing already compensates below 1000 TB and also if you can not mine with amtminer, how explain that yesterday was a worker with 10TB this in gpu rings, it is a bit strange are many ring needs, if there are many coins where to monetize them, good luck for a coin

You seem confused. This is not sha256d therefore you can't mine with your antminer.

For crying out loud!
read the ANN!!!!!!!!!

The fact that some pool operators blindly jump to the conclusion that this is normal sha256 makes it their own damn fault. And you should be giving THEM shit for it, not dev.

It CLEARLY says sha256q. did you see the q? It also says ASIC's won't work.

And finally there is a disclaimer in the bottom saying "Everything to get you started is written above. This is an experiment. This is fool's gold."

If you still insist on concluding that 2+2=5 then frankly you've got bigger problems.

If you're mining out there, you have 2 pool options for now that nobody seems to be using / is aware of: https://pool.coin-miners.info/ and http://plant-pool.net/

There is a "big" solo miner that is getting most of the rewards right now, so if you want to mine something it's best to join forces.

Hi, everybody. This coin is already in my profit mining calculator https://calcminer.info/ as well as more than 1000 pow coins  ;)

sorry my language , and good luck for your coin, just got 1P from asic thank you

It's alright.

There is a community telegram run by one of the miners. I'm going to make a website sometime soon. There is no roadmap and no whitepaper. Coin is 6 days old and I'm doing everything by myself, so you're going to have to be patient. Maybe it will be a total failure, I don't know myself at this point. Just mine (or don't) and enjoy (or don't).

Here it is the windows version  x64 bit cuda 9.0 https://mega.nz/#!7dNmkAIT!l6qrRCB4edD1yw5zzW0joeuppP398eNIm2kBPp9rQaw (https://mega.nz/#!7dNmkAIT!l6qrRCB4edD1yw5zzW0joeuppP398eNIm2kBPp9rQaw)

Thanks a lot. You're the man. Will add to OP.

Touched up the GitHub (https://github.com/pyritepirate/pyrite) information so it's at least aesthetically pleasing and informative. Will make a better / graphical OP when I get enough merit, rank or what not. Will set up more permanent seed nodes tomorrow and start on the website. No ETA on that.

So what's the idea for this coin in a few words?

The idea is to create a fair, mineable cryptocurrency. This is not a quick cash grab or an attempt at one. It's really that simple. No gimmicks, no hidden plan. I have some ideas in my mind for protocol upgrades, but it's too early to discuss and it'll just generate unnecessary weight on my shoulders with people asking for them every day. I also have no plan to pay for an exchange listing, however small the fee might be. I am a miner just like you and hold no premine/dev fee. Coin is one week old and already there is an issue with regards to difficulty adjustment. Maybe it was just an unfortunate event or maybe a deliberate act that a miner or group of miners joined the network last night with 200+ GH/s increasing difficulty tenfold, and then left after a short period of time. What you're seeing now is a delay in block production caused by that. If this was in fact deliberate and keeps repeating I'll have to address it quickly. I'm aware of the options that are out there. This is a fork of blackcoin, so codebase is pretty old.

So, we haven't had a PoW block in 17 hours thanks to some asshole who stopped by with his farm for 2 hours and thought it was a good idea to push difficulty upwards. Not even sure there are people still mining. PoS still works, transactions get sent, blockchain moves forward if you need to make a transfer. This is not perfect, but it's something. If not enough power joins the network soon, I'll look into a way to reset difficulty via some rule and release a new binary. Would probably be best to change the difficulty adjustment algorithm as well... I don't know, funds are safu for now.

On second thought... Since PoS still works, and coins can be transmitted, maybe the archaic difficulty adjustment is not a bug but a feature. Whoever the miner was, knowingly or not, has created a scenario where Pyrite is hard to obtain. One must use a lot of hash power to generate more Pyrite to keep the "production" running, or wait a long time for the difficulty to drop, "wasting" resources. Unexpected, but fits nicely with the name, doesn't it? A true free and competitive market. It sounds cheesy, but since the coin is experimental I think I'll keep it as such for now. Unless i am an idiot and the whole logic is flawed. 200GH/s is not large in the grand scheme of things. The problem was that difficulty went up x100 in a matter of a day.

Though it does make it difficult for those of us who just found this now and are trying to mine :(

Can't try out PoS without some coin... can't get the coin without overcoming the massive difficulty coupled with the lack of base hash :/

http://45.56.162.94:3001/tx/9217d5ec99f8d47ca8ac4aa664e45e50fcd507c9b46094404f16fbb22b433521 took a while, but PoW diff went down, 2 blocks found. We're okay. I encourage you to join the mining pool.

Is it possible to mine using the wallet (or miner) solo using GPUs?

I know I can mine in a pool with gpus, and solo with CPUs...

sure, it's possible. just need to make a .conf file with relevant information, and then:

Please don't spam  :-\

My 21 core cpu data is the left column ... Before I turned on 2 1080ti GPU's. The right column is after I turned on 2 GPU's
My 21 cores have not received anything but I'm gonna let them run for a few hours and see. Please dont fry me lol, it would be expensive to replace, lol.

Difficulty changes based on how often new blocks are found. With low network hash rates it is more about luck and that's why you see such fluctuations.

BTW, this sha256q algo on CPUs will probably not be able to compete with GPUs. GPUs will give a lot more hash rates.

Is there any specific reason that sha256q hashing algo was chosen?

Also what version or date of the blackcoin code did you use for this fork?

It's because between you checking on gpu someone hit a block. Diff adjuststment is erratic, because of low hashrate and large fluctuations.

pos reward 0?  :(

No other reason than allowing cpu miners to mine it for a while. There was a coin around 2 years ago with similar parameters (sha256t), that launched and died soon after because community didn't pick up development. I loved it and mined it but nothing came out of it, nobody stepped up. It's called OCP now, you can check it out. So 2 years and some C++ later I'm the guy to continue original contributor's vision I guess. We'll see what happens.

So the purpose of the coin is to be a currency/store of value, am I correct?

It has also unique combo of the blockchain parameters, POW/POS hybrid and new SHA256Q hashing algo.

Well, there is https://github.com/bitbaba/bitgold that forked from some algo to sha256q a few months ago of which I wasn't aware of before. I made a pull request for sha256q to be added to tpruvot's ccminer repo and if accepted it should be included in his official releases. Pyrite is designed to be a store of value and reward scheme is quite unique. PoW/PoS hybrids were kind of big in 2014/15, but usually PoW and PoS rewards were designed to be the same so it was just a gimmick to end PoW quicker and switch to full PoS.

How do we fight 51% attack if somebody with a lot of hashing power will try to take over the blockchain?

Right at this point it will probably not going to make sense as there is still not much value. If the coin gains value and hash rates remain low then it is a problem.

VERSION = 1.2.2

Did anybody find ccminer with sha256q and --no-longpoll --no-getwork --no-stratum --coinbase-addr= ??

It's here ...

There is no --no-getwork --coinbase-addr= solo mining to wallet impossible

just set your pyrite.conf correctly

rpcuser=miner
rpcpassword=minerpass
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.0.103
rpcallowip=192.168.0.104
rpcallowip=192.168.0.105
rpcallowip=192.168.0.109
rpcport=6996
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1

I think if the hashrate remains low then the coin won't have any value in the future. We'll just have to see. I am looking at https://github.com/zawy12 work as an option to mitigate hash attacks. Though I gave a reason a few pages back on why I might just leave it as is for now. After all, PoS works and transactions can still be transmitted. It's not like the blockchain stops, only mining does, until difficulty drops again. If people drop completely from PoW then that's it, no more new coins. It's kind of a quirky feature rather than a flaw. 51% is possible if attacker gains control of both consensus mechanisms, which is unlikely... I would hope.


I think that should work. Is it many rigs to one wallet or what are you trying to do? Does it work?

there is problem in miner... this version have no --no-getwork --coinbase-addr= that options, because of that you cant mine directly in wallet via RPC.

Or you can try --no-gbt

Is there a recommended tutorial on how to go about setting up for staking?  I've never tried.. but now that I have some coin I'd like to.

If it happens to list the pros and cons as well, that would be even better :)

There is a lot on staking available online. The thing is, PoS blocks only happen when users send Pyrite and it's just fees, no additional reward. So what's recommended is using a low powered device if you want to keep the wallet open 24/7; like a raspberry pi or something. You should also use coin control to consolidate your wallet to increase weight. If you see a a "?" mark instead of confirmations, that means it's an orphan and someone else got the reward. I still encourage everyone to stake to secure the network. There will be a lot of PoS blocks once more pools pop up and more people start to use Pyrite in general.

Thank you for the info!  I know there isn't much reward at the moment for staking, so right now this is more of a learning experience more than anything else.
Having a guide (eg. raspberri pi staking guide) will make it easier for everyone else as well to get into staking... Is an static IP required?  Or can I wing it with my regular whatever-the-isp-gives-me?

I'll try setting something up and, if I can get it to work, make a guide for others as well.

For us newbs to the actual coding a coin world, do you have a guide for a testnet of sorts? (can't say I have a lot of time to tinker, but it'd be fun to actually contribute to the code base at some point)

Static IP is not needed. You can use a bridged connection to setup a testnet locally or using 2 VMs. Contributions are welcome.  ;)

To get started mining Pyrite Download the wallet.
After the wallet is installed, open its main folder located on you computer .../AppData/Roming/Pyrite
You should see a file named pyrite.conf and if you don't, simply open a text editor, notepad.
Then paste and save this next section into that file.

rpcuser=yourwalletname
rpcpassword=walletpass
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.0.103
rpcallowip=192.168.0.104
rpcallowip=192.168.0.105
rpcallowip=192.168.0.109
rpcport=6997
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1

After you have edited and re-saved this pyrite.conf file with a username and password you created, shut down and restart the wallet.

Now somewhere on your desktop create a folder and call it PyriteMiner.
Download this miner into that folder ...
https://mega.nz/#!7dNmkAIT!l6qrRCB4edD1yw5zzW0joeuppP398eNIm2kBPp9rQaw (https://mega.nz/#!7dNmkAIT!l6qrRCB4edD1yw5zzW0joeuppP398eNIm2kBPp9rQaw)

Now create another empty text file with notepad..
Copy/Paste these next two lines into that text file ...

ccminer-x64.exe -a sha256q -o http://127.0.0.1:6997 -u yourwalletname -p walletpass
pause

Now SaveAs that file into the miner folder you created called PyriteMiner.
When saving this file make sure to select all, and then name this file ...
MinePyriteSolo.bat
Also notice that the rpcport number is the same as what is in your config file. It should always match your wallet credentials when solo mining.
Lets check and make sure your credentials are correct. The -u and -p should also match match what you choose inside your pyrite.conf

With your wallet running, go ahead now and close the text files if you already have not.
Now simply double click MinePyriteSolo.bat and the miner will start and connect with your wallet. After about a minute it should start rolling and may look something like this ...

To pool mine you want to create another bat file. So go ahead and open notepad again. Paste these next two lines and save the file as PyritePoolMiner.bat
ccminer-x64.exe -a sha256q -o stratum+tcp://plant-pool.net:3033 -u ReplaceThisWithYourPyriteReceiveCoinAddress -p x
pause

The word pause will leave the command prompt window open so you can see your video card(s) at work for either the solo, or the pool mining you do.
Notice now that the port number for pool mining is now different from what you have in your config file. The pool will always tell you what port to connect to when your miner starts.
This is how your computer and the pool communicate. The pool will auto send coins to your wallet. You earn coins in a pool based on how many shares you submit against everyone elses shares they submit.. So in closing if you send say 100 shares and the pool total is 1000 shares, you will earn roughly 10% of the reward.

If you solo mine and find a blockl you keep 100% of the reward. Depending on your computer you might be able to mine solo and pool and the same time. just double click both and let both of them run. If you do this, keep in mind they are both sharing the GPU so your hash rate will be effected by 50% for each roughly. If you close one, just X the window and the other miner should recognize and your hash rate should adjust higher for the one miner running.

Your bat files have to be in the same folder as your miner exe file in order for the bat file to execute the miner and start mining !

As for the staking ... When you have coins in your wallet, you are now competing with everyone else who has coins in their wallets to earn stakes. The weight of your wallet compared to the weight of the people around the world is important. Look at it as a raffle. An example would be that everyone gets a ticket for each coin in their wallet and then one ticket gets pulled every time a transaction happens. You don't have to be solo mining or pool mining to receive POS rewards, all you have to do is have coins in your wallet and leave your wallet online.

I hope this helps any new person get started.

Happy Mining and Staking !

Thanks for taking the time to write all of that. Good stuff.

Thank you for the run down :)
I thought there'd be more to staking... like actually locking up the coins.

Ok, I got a word that the community telegram was set up by a group of scammers and that some of you lost coins trying to trade. This is so messed up and I'm really sad that someone would take advantage of miners at such an early stage. I take partial blame for trusting random people on this forum to run it. I did it in good faith hoping that this community grows organically. Apparently that is too much to ask for. I will return coins to you from my personal funds which I have mined. That is around 8000 coins I believe, which leaves me with 500 to keep. This really blows... I'm so angry. Please PM me here if you lost money and we will arrange a secure mechanism to get your coins back.

I made a discord channel: https://discord.gg/NJajNNx

That really does suck... stick to giving out responsibility to those you can already trust.  Update the top (original) post with the discord and other info along with a warning that any forum/media not listed on the top page or the official site is not to be trusted.  That should at least help reduce the chances of something like this happening in the future.

Also, it's really good that you are returning coins to those who were scammed.  Just be careful that it isn't any scammers trying to get more coins out of your generosity as well.

Good idea with the warning. I can see that there is another channel on Telegram already....

So, I have been getting what I assume is staking rewards (well, potential) on the wallet.  It shows the type as 'Mined' with a reward around 0.00001 (or an increment similar).  Each time it ends up as a "?" with a status of "conflicted, broadcast through 3 nodes".

I'm guessing these are the results of keeping my wallet open and staking.  So far all 6 of these instances have become like this.
Is this common to have so many [lack of a better word] failed stakes?

That just means someone got the block before you, possibly due to having more connections. It happens to me all the time too.

I made the telegram channel so others can't make one and use it as a scam, DM me if you want admin in it.

Ok thanks. Just please post the discord invite in there. I really have no time to do both discord and telegram right now.

Is there a way to increase connections or optimize the chances of staking?  (I added the nodes from the top post.. seems I'm up to 5 connections now)

(and yeah, sorry for the onslaught of questions)

Try adding more nodes from here: http://45.56.162.94:3001/network

The first 4 on the list in OP are mine and should always be connected.

That is a very useful link. Thank you!

Taken care of..

Thank you!

Would it be nice to have some communication channel feature similar to discord built-in in the coin software?

I certainly wouldn't know how to implement it. Let's not reinvent the wheel :)

Solo excavations can only be connected to four RIGS

I have 7 connections, so your 5 is about right. That will fluctuate as people come and go with a coin.
As far as your 0.00001 Mined rewards, someone in deed was able to solve and mint the block before you. I also have these, however I am pool and solo stake mining. Today I noticed my pool miner connection was lost. So now I am just solo mining. RAM and Bandwidth is important when solo mining. Not sure how much RAM you have but when staking, you want to have at least 2GB RAM per wallet. I have 704 coins now. 

Is there any sense to mine this coin on CPU?

I'm afraid it's too late for CPU mining now, unless you don't have to pay for electricity.

Is it correct to assume the source of truth for the difficulty rate, global hash rate etc  is on the block explorer and anything reported by a mining pool is to be taken as an approximation instead?  (asking because there is consistent difference between the explorer and the mining pool values)

I made SHA256Q miner for AMD GPUs and finally was able to find some time to upload it.  You can download it from here https://github.com/almonk5/sgminer-sha256q

It's quite simple actually. What you see in your miner is the difficulty of the block you're looking for, and in explorer (and wallet console) you see the difficulty of the last block found. If block time were faster you wouldn't probably even notice this.  ;)

tnx

It might be worth to mention that we're listed on https://cointomine.today/calculator/coin/PYE/
Use OTC price of 200-300 sats to calculate your ROI.

I just made windows build for AMD mining software.

Interesting coin with a different approach. I will throw a rig on it. Good luck!

Thanks. We have a discord channel where things are much busier than here (https://discord.gg/NJajNNx).

New version released. Please update. https://github.com/pyritepirate/pyrite/releases

The new additions are appreciated. I like the consistent progress and see more people coming around. Looking forward to what comes next for Pyrite.

"No Premine
There is no premine, no instamine, no cheating, no favoritism. Everyone has an equal chance to obtain PYE"

Nice!!!!!

It would be advised to spread out hashrate between 2 or 3 pools that we have available. Unless you're solo mining, which is still possible...

Anyone else getting HW errors on AMD miner?  Any fix?

Are you trying to solo mine or pool?

I'm getting HW errors on both solo and pool.  They go away if I drop the intensity way down, but then I'm only getting about 3MHs per vega.  My 1070's are running 450MH with ccminer.

Can you post your command line arguments how you are trying to run it? Also is it on linux or windows and the drivers version.

Yes, that's the idea. There is still some time though. Just giving a notice so there is no surprise later on.

I've got the pool working good now, but trying to solo is still giving my HW errors.  I'm using the default .bat file, just changing the pool and port to local wallet.  And of course my user name and password.  Windows 10, 18.6 drivers, vega 64s.

That sgminer fork does not support solo mining at this moment. Just stay with pool or set up your own pool.

I'll be setting up an "official" pool with a 3% mining fee that will go towards outside development/bounties/exchange listings and what not. I think it's a much better option than taxing block rewards, even though it's been suggested in discord.

Excellent idea  ;D . Pool is up now: https://pool.pyrite.pw/
To support the development of this coin please mine here.

I'm quite a fan of the pool for development funding, an excellent way for people to show their support for the future of Pyrite. Thanks for 2018, and here is to a successful 2019!

Marked my address and dev fund on the explorer. Keeping things transparent...

For now, dev fund is whatever the community and I contribute + future https://pool.pyrite.pw fees.

Going with the motto... "Funding is a privilege, not a right".  :'(

thx, added to op.

New version 1.0.4 released. Please update. https://github.com/pyritepirate/pyrite/releases

looking for a discord channel and exchange, please. thank you

I'm not sure what you mean. All relevant information is either on website or in the OP.

The community is having a vote in regards to potential hard fork due to FPGAs now mining on the network. Please cast your vote here: https://discord.gg/kXpKCgD

Voting will remain open until the 15th of February. So far it's looking like we're staying with sha256q.

Voting is taking place in discord. The link at the top of this page takes you right to it.

The community has decided - sha256q stays. ⛏️

In my opinion, it's a good thing to stay with the algo for now as a unique one of a kind makes Pyrite stand out amongst the other projects that share algos.

Hard to disagree...

Hi,
Did this coin ever get  to market?

is it dead?
