Reminder that when Akemi Homura rewrote reality, the currency she used daily from then on was PND.  |

Friendly reminder that those who hold PND will find love, and love will light the way.  |

 Most russian writers who commited suicide would still be alive if they had the next Pandacoin (PND) block to look forward to between all that vodka. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfLkV0eZ200I hear that what made this panda upset was the fact that there wasnt several billions of scrypt hash functions being computed every second to look for hidden PND in the bamboohay, I hope you are doing your best to reverse this, we dont want things to escalate further.

Looking forward to the development of the adoption, I love pandas (that's why this coin initially caught my eye), my ex gf was to do some volunteering with pandas in Shichuan once, but events of life have unfortunately prevented that.
I was thinking, maybe a good idea for the adoption of PND in Asia would be implementing a builtin privacy features, like maybe Tor.
With the recent chinese government crackdown on cryptocurrencies, if I were chinese I'd think twice before dealing with crytpos now.
Adding a "Tor by default" feature would at least conceal that I'm running a wallet and exchanging the currency, and maybe it could be set up in a way that anybody could use it without special knowledge (like Tor Browser, for example)
There are obviously some more thought to put into it. Like is Tor even in use in China? Can it pierce the Great Firewall? When my gf was in Beijing she used some obscure proxy programs to connect with the internet outside, but mostly that's a thing only foreigners deal with, because they know there won't be consequences.
What do you think? It obviously is not #1 prority right now, with the PoS coming up, but anyway.
There was also someone suggesting I2P as an alternative, can somebody shed some light on it?
hi im of chinese national but am working in hk. here my thoughts - avg chinese would not know how to use tor. but it is inbuilt with wallet diff story. only tech inclined will use proxy to access banned websites re: chinese thinking twice with dealing with crypto, this is the situation in china. government on official front is putting a stop to it, however look at fiatleak.com and you see that china is buying btc rapidly still. why? with growing wealth of chinese bourgeois class, many are starting to be aware of impending economic recession in china. tell tale signs inc: -chinse gov manipulation of yuan. 12% gdp growth is bs 10 years in a row -chinese real estate bubble similar to u.s americans situation in 2007 china now is simiar to u.s situation in 2008 with potential fiat problem. i feel china is ready to adopt crypto to deal with yuan crashing, thats why i buy some pnd pandacoin. other option is asiacoin, but its scamcoin, with 2 week mining period creating 45% coins for devs and small group people + bs 100% pos interest after. i like pnd due to symbol of panda, no premine or ipo. Thank you for the very informative post. |

Is it feasible to adopt exactly 1337 pandas?  |

What about Vegetable Juice? Yes, i'm in fact quite sure that in the summer of 2015, a business selling a juice mix of beterrave and carrots will thrive. Said business will start out only accepting the cryptocurrency PND as payment, watch out for it. |

Homura did nothing wrong, and in the Homuverse their currency is PND.  |

Can you please inclusde the current wallet version number in the first post, so we can always just check the thread to see if we need an update?

I would like to voice that I support merged mining, it would be something new and fairly unique in the way xfr described, while becoming a proof-of-stake coin is just copying what other coins that became valuable (in price) recently did...
In my opinion its a bit shortsighted, the bigger pro of PoS is the fact that together with our multipool it means that the price of PND will rise faster than it is rising now and thats about it... The coin could as a result become a target for people wanting quick profit on that property, like what happened with blackcoin - when price was low in the sense that their multipool could climb through the orders pretty fast, a lot of people bought blackcoin, then when the price and size of the sell orders became big enough for the multipool, a lot of people went on and sold their coins for this big profit.
I have nothing against any of this, but for those wanting in on that game the point is that there is already blackcoin, there are already other coins copying it too, none of them seem to aim to be used as a CURRENCY though if thats how they work. What is the goal of PND in the end? If it is to last and become useful, of which my personal example of currently useful cryptocurrencies are BTC and DOGE, then inovation, and inovation without the goal of creating artificial bubbles should be pursued.
I'm with the option of merged mining with DOGE through a pool as described... This would be new and a lot of fun, and I say that as someone whose miner is a 25kh/s APU, if I just wanted to make some usd my best option would be if the coin became proof-of-stake, since i'm here since the first days, and in my humble opinion that seem to be the goal of the many who want PoS. They want to use their holdings and invest further and make a profit, which again, I have nothing against, but there are other PoS+multipool coins around, the only difference it seems is that some people already hold PND and not these other coins, and thats why they want PND to go PoS

Thank you both the_darkness and tacotime, it eventually indeed synchronized.
I have started mining but I cant find where is my hash rate displayed, I used "start_mining x" on the daemon, where x is the number of threads I have available.
Also, what is the simpleminer.exe? The bytecoin bundle didnt have such a file, and also there is no documentation about it.
edit: someone else asked about the hashrate, got it.

Can someone please look at the image and tell me if you know how to properly synchronize the blockchain? I'm obviously not an expert, but from the messages it is outputting I would say its not working properly. I just launched the daemon, nothing else.  |

1) Cache sizes slowly grow over time (Moore's law). Currently, high-end x86 has 2.5MB / core.
The proof-of-work should use as much of this as possible.
You want each core running its own instance while fully utilizing its cache.
Ideally, the dynamic difficulty adjustment should be able to increase the memory requirement,
so as to keep up with hardware improvements.
It's interesting though. RAM is not that much slower than L3 cache, * and in fact this algorithm runs faster with two instances per core (with hyperthreading), suggesting that cache doesn't really matter here. * RAM = 60 cycles, L3 unshared - 40 cycles. See page 22 at https://software.intel.com/sites/products/collateral/hpc/vtune/performance_analysis_guide.pdfThanks for the reference. That's a much smaller difference than I thought. I just ran some tests with the simple cuckoo miner, and here's how the runtime scales with memory on a Xeon with a total of 12MB L3 cache: 1M 0.075s 2M 0.15s 4M 0.32s 8M 0.7s 16M 1.9s 32M 5.5s 64M 13.7s 128M 31s So we do see an extra slowdown when it crosses the L3 cache size, but it's indeed not very dramatic. This suggests that a memory-bound proof-of-work should just try to use as much memory as possiible to frustrate GPUs/ASICs rather than try to optimize of L3 cache size. Can you sum up for not_so_smart people? Is Bytecoin super ASIC proof or ? I'm not an expert either, but his main explanation was in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=557322.msg6249426#msg6249426and it indicates that it is harder/more expensive to implement ASIC for bytecoin pow than it was for Scrypt, and it also indicates that the ratio of how much more efficient it would be to GPU/ASIC mine it (after such things are developed) instead of CPU will also be smaller in relation to the Scrypt case. |

Thanks to a tip from someone in the community, I finally managed to track down Jacob in a private server and had a private chat with him. Unfortunately the conversation did not turn out the way that I had expected and I feel the community needs to know and understand what is currently happening behind the scenes over the several past weeks or so. Pastebin link of the conversation: http://pastebin.com/Vr34eE8WSo instead of willingly handing over the coin towards myself and the crew, he wanted to bribe me and bring me onboard to use me to promote the coin. So I was essentially left with two options. 1) Keep quiet and accumulate large amount of pandas myself and make some decent cash based on their plan and collaboration with wolong or 2) Keep my conscience clean and go ahead with revealing these disgusting details on him and his group's plans. I ended up deciding to go with the latter, as Jacob got one thing wrong which is detrimental to their plan: I don't hold large amount of pandas and neither does the team that is onboard with me. Our plan was to gain a reputation on reviving dead coins in the alt-coin community and make decent fees off bounties raised from their respective communities by doing solid dev work and investing a bit of our assets into the coins that we are reviving. There you have it folks, my team and I will now be researching another viable coin to revive and moving on from this coin. Do what you will with the information provided from the pastebin link above. Bdanyo when are the triads getting wolong, please |

defaced I didnt check the thread since yesterday, what do I have to do here to get out of that troublesome block that happened 21h ago?
|
|
|
|
|
so, how unlikely is it to find this block? what is the exact relation between difficulty and probability of finding a block?
