well ask and you shall receive the hashes it would seem Smiley

Finally got TRC, address in sig, but not sure how to mine for it yet. Will work on that bit next, but one step at a time here..

Just point your miner(s) @ coinotron

http://coinotron.com/coinotron/AccountServlet?action=home

 Smiley


sent you 1 TRC to get you started Smiley
almost as exciting as my first BTC!  Thanks! Now on to learn now to mine... must it be gpu or cpu too?

have you mined before?? if so then the mining software u use will work on TRC the same... well not the LTC mining stuff... but Cgminer/pheonix miner and GUI miner all work the same for TRC as BTC .... just point at a pool with a worker dedicated to mine TRC.... coinotrons pools is good, but there was a plea for miners to join the http://pool.bitcoinreactor.com/stats/ pool to and they got a good hash rate now so u will get payouts Smiley

any problems just ask Smiley
I mine btc ltc. Can I do all three?

yeah sure, just ur hashing power will be split between them all as merge mining not on with these 3

1265  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: i0coin UPDATES on: November 17, 2012, 02:53:55 PM
I have been testing out the i0coin client, in anticipation of publishing a block explorer.

In the interest of time, does anybody have any ideas on why the client eats up such a massive amount of memory?

I will look at the code, but it will go quicker if I could target in generally why this happens.

I see the memory issue as being the number one problem to solve at this time, not only for site operators and miners but normal users as well. The client just cannot eat up GB of ram and be useable.

Also, anybody know the network version number i0coin uses?

yeah memory leak / consumption is what i'm looking at now... but it all new to me so your guess as good as mine atm.... if i find anything i'll post here or PM u
1266  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A cryptocurrency with limited, not predermined supply with stable exchange rate? on: November 17, 2012, 02:43:18 PM

Propose for a minute there is a constant difficulty: What would happen is that block rates will be accelerating hash rate which would result in increasingly faster transaction times and more inflation. However if the hardcoded block reward decrease is kept the total number to be issued will still be limited. On the other hand there would be no early adopter benefit except the within the scheduled adjustments of the block reward.
Of course this has some obvious disadvantages: The block rates could get so high that network latency and orphaned blocks becomes a serious issue. This would lead to increasing centralization of mining and thus creating a trust problem. At some point even the speed of light becomes an issue making orphaned blocks a certainty.


Liquid coin conforms to this idea i believe...

Difficulty is fixed at 0.5, and block reward decreases (exponentially over time... or block? sorry i forget the exact maths)

I believe there are a number of orphaned blocks in this chain, most likely from what u describe, but I have not looked into this fully so other users may be able to provide more info

have i interpreted your suggestion correctly?
1267  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: TRC a new FAD? BASH IT! on: November 17, 2012, 02:24:10 AM
All this bashing of TRC MUST be having an effect... difficulty dropped back down to 1299.1 ... Keep bashing it and then i can mine more of this currently worthless coin Smiley
1268  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: i0coin UPDATES on: November 17, 2012, 01:45:20 AM
hmmmm some nice bounty rewards on this development.... good thing its the weekend and i in need of doing things that require me not to spend money Smiley i'll see what I can do!!

ouch but yes at least it only ur hot wallet... but let this be a reminder to everyone to backup their wallet.dat files!! for ALL your crypto-currencies.... i may be running an old version of wallets... but i found i can't encrypt my LTC wallet, or IOC or IX wallets?? this an area for development in the wallet? or i just need to update?

1272  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PPC block explorer (WWW.PPCEXPLORE.ORG) on: November 15, 2012, 09:46:52 PM
WWW.PPCEXPLORE.ORG is moving to a new server:



WWW.CRYPTOCOINEXPLORER.COM

PPC Explorer is now available at port 2750 (WWW.CRYPTOCOINEXPLORER.COM:2750)

TRC Explorer continues at  port 3750 (WWW.CRYPTOCOINEXPLORER.COM:3750) or just WWW.CRYPTOCOINEXPLORER.COM until I make a home page to choose which engine to go to.

Web page operators linking to either one will probably want to use the direct port URL. Eventually PPCexplore.org will point to this server, so change your links now if you direct link.

WWW.PPCEXPLORE.ORG will eventually point to the new server and home page to choose between coin search engines.





Nice work dreamwatcher Smiley i have updated the list of sites for PPC here http://ppcointalk.org/index.php?q=node/7 to show your new site
1273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] TRC Block Explorer on: November 15, 2012, 01:20:28 PM
Will make a donation once home and can .....

but this made for some interesting reading..... block 2524.. sent LOADS of mined blocks in different addresses to one here.... http://96.126.122.8:3750/a/12PyB6oh3j

holding some 17,000+ TRC !!! Not bad... i just hope that this was one of the founders of TRC and their collection of coins.... as this person had almost half the total coins created at block 2524
1274  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does anyone really think Terracoin is a threat to Litecoin on: November 15, 2012, 11:38:06 AM
TRC dilutes the market and takes interest away from LTC, so yes, I do believe that TRC is a threat to LTC.

Things may change radically with ASIC but there is no ASIC around right now.

Supposed to be about 11 days to go... maybe 15 then first ones will hit the customers hands and be joining the network(s)
1275  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [Pool] Coinotron - Terracoin subpool is up and running on: November 15, 2012, 11:34:17 AM
FYI

Due to lack of popularity we decided to close LQC pool. Pool will be closed on 2012-11-17. Please withdraw your coins until 2012-11-30.

awww really!! Sad I liked to have LQC set as a backup for all my miners and occasionally jump on... not sure of other pools Sad Well just wanted to let you know I will be sad to see this go, but u got to do what u got to do i suppose

1277  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PPC price is blowing up! on: November 14, 2012, 03:21:14 PM
well we can work out the total network hash rate from what Sunny KIng said.....

"To estimate network hash rate you would need to first get an estimate of current proof-of-work spacing target (in seconds), by counting the number of proof-of-work blocks in the last 24 hours for example. The formula to calculate the total network hash rate is: hash rate = difficulty * 4G / spacing target."

 from the PPC wallet getinfo command i can see the current difficulty is at :   22859

i take it 4G is 4 x the proof of work spacing target.... which should be able to be calculated from ppcoinblockexploer.org

hope this gives you something to do while you look for more movies to watch!! Tongue

 Grin Grin Grin Grin

I would rather find someone to help set up another charts site for PPC than watch that shitty movie again.  Cheesy I'll maintain it, I just need help with the barebones code. I received an offer to code it, but for 50 BTC. I don't have that kind of coinage.

So if anyone can help for a considerably less bounty, payable in PPC, and who also wants to further the development of PPC, GET AT ME!!!

Haha well i'll recommend u some movies worth a watch for 50BTC Tongue but i'd love to have a go at building a chart site with u, i am a developer myself and am willing to have a crack at anything... and I have tuppance of BTC so can not afford to put a bounty on this myself, but any donations are appreciate... PM me with your ideas etc, I have space to host the site to, but no money to even buy a domain!! Tongue but i own ppctalk.org so could add to that, and I familiar in parsing JSON etc from API's so we could obtain data from MtGox and bitparking etc.. but not sure where other data was got from... directly from the blockchain?? anyways interested to hear ur thoughts Smiley
1278  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PPC price is blowing up! on: November 14, 2012, 02:44:46 PM
well thats not the market price. thats the price of someone who can't SELL for that high of a price hence his order is still on the books

Last Price:   0.00050000   High:   0.00060000

You were saying?

I think PPC hashrate and difficulty are at all-time new highs right now.. but I can't tell since proofofstake.com is still BUSTEDDDDDDDD.  Angry

WTF is all I can say at this point. I was attempting to sign up to buy some PPC Smiley but sites e-mail system was down and I got an error.

Then I noticed this:

Hmm yeah this is not good news Sad though I have been wanting to have a go at knocking up an exchange... along with the million other things on my //TODO: list... so if this is the end... then I will look myself to setting up an exchange as we need more than just Bitparking... as good as it is... always helps to have more than one source to buy from.... also any reason why a purchase of PPC using credit cards has not been formulated yet?? I may look into this as well just to be super keen!!

maybe i'll get some devcoins from all my time spent developing these... but I not demanding them!! would just be nice Smiley
1280  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Terracoin a FPGA coin? on: November 14, 2012, 01:51:48 PM
If you have 2 pools set, one of them having Long Polling enabled and other not, CGMiner and BFGMiner will use Long Polling info
from former pool to update status of later pool. In screenshot bellow, pool 1 is Coinotron and pool 0 is Terracoin server (soloing).



It happens sometimes that even though miner detected block change via LP, non-LP pool does not switch to new block immidiately.
I don't know much about the whole deal, so I can't tell if user actualy loses few seconds or if LP is not perfectly accurate.

Ahh ok thank you for your reply... a few more pieces in the puzzle Smiley

so looking at the output from your miner... at 14:04:27 the pool 1 sent message to your miner to tell it there was a new block detected... and 2 seconds later your pool 0 (solo mining caught up) ... so in this instance there was 2 seconds where you could have mined an orphan block?? or there was 2 seconds where the hashes submitted would not have been counted / valid.....

Anyways it looks like the fact that new blocks are detected by the miner once they are on the blockchain, that the miner will adjust every block for the difficulty... in this respect it makes sense as someone who had been mining since day 1 and not switched off computer will not have advantage mining at lower difficulty rate.. but does mean that anyone mining solo with small hash.. will have small chance of finding a block, and every block (as with BTC atm... ) with something like 24M/Hash you would be lucky to submit 1 hash per block found... so you would be hoping that your hash would be the one to find the block....

Setup i was considering was leaving a computer or two CPU mining for BTC for a year or 10 Tongue (sorting out solar /wind electricity b4 getting them running b4 u ask on electricity costs:P)  but if the difficulty continues to rise.. surely I will get to the point where I will almost never solve a block if difficulty increases continuously so just not sure if it worth it or not.. but people were talking about mining solo once ACIS hit as better payback if a block is found... just wondered if there was a minimum Hash threshold to difficulty ratio that should / could be applied to see if it worthwhile??

Quote
Because if the difficulty is high, do you lose all your work from solo mining when you jump to a pool or does it come with you? Not sure.

From what i read elsewhere.. once you stop solomining... all your work is lost (now i think it is lost every time a new block is detected) but the principal behind the way blocks are found I believe would mean that say you were mining with 95% probability to solve block in 1 hour... and you mined for 1 hour and found nothing.... you were unlucky is what i have heard others say... say you then started back up again and found a block in 5 mins... that time you got very lucky... as far as I am aware the two sessions are not combined or related in anyway... (unless they are mining on the same block??) .... but if this is right then say you mine for 30 min intervals... over 8 hours... stopping for 30 mins between each mine period... so 4 out of 8 hours mined in total... you would have been a LOT better to continuously mine for 4 hours straight rather than 30 min periods?? hmm now i am a little confused as that can't be right??

hmm anyone care to point me at some answers or mistakes i have made with my understanding.. much appreciated for your input crazyrabit and subStrata Smiley
