I'm against this because of a completely different reason: content does NOT show up in a search, neither internally nor in Google.

What's the point of gathering information in a forum when no one is able to find it?

I think it's a bit embarrassing that this seems to be the only forum (that I know of) without avatars.

Not much new postings around here....could that be an inherent problem with PoS?

Miners out...few stay 

Surely happens, but not THAT fast, it's more a continuous process.




Good point, I didn't know about XC. Doesn't explain doubling the hash-rate completely, but helps to understand it.

And thanks for the link!

Out of nowhere unknown (big) pools and hash-rate doubling to 190 GH/s in just one day...if I would plan an attack I would it do right after a long announced fork 

Would you two please just STFU?

Crypto-currencies are _still_ something very new, and to make them succeed we have _all_ to work together.

It doesn't matter whether your coin is from Europe, Pink, Dark or whatnot. If we fight everyone loses.

And no coin EVER succeeded because someone talked the competition down.

If you want to succeed, be better than the competition. Or even better work together (Doge getting help from the Digibyte guys is a nice example. Or pools helping each other after forks).

Grow up.

BOTH of you!

Not a millionaire, but I'm in the upper half of that list, yes.

And I started mining when ERC was launched, so staking started early for me.

Wow, such true  

Actually, no matter whether people like Doge or not, the Doge community does one thing 100% right: they use their coins instead of herding them in the hope to get rich. Where else do you get money for a good (or just funny) posting?

That's also why I like (and respect) your attempt in creating an ERC shop in this early state of ERC...a currency only has a future when people start using it in real life.

The currencies which are traded only will all slowly die after some months of jump and dump.

Dead serious!
Focus your advertising to ONE SINGLE product. Marketing basics. Just ask a professional of your choice. Better hire one (not me   ), it will be money VERY well invested.



It doesn't hurt me, and you don't have to listen to me. All I want you to do is ask someone you trust with some marketing background, get your ass slapped by him or her and do it right.

And YES, I'm in the top 50 of the ERC holders.

That's why I care.



It does not go AGAINST ERC, it distracts from it.

It's like placing a car advertising in the middle of a laundry detergent ad.

You know after these statements you MUST disclose what original codebase you did use (with github link) and show precisely the coding segments where this happens for the community to verify.
Should be a 5 minute job for you to post the info. Preferably before the next launch.

And, YES, I certainly will have a closer look into that.


Oh, and a SCAM warning with the name of the coins with this codebase would also be in place. Doesn't need to be here in this thread.

Your explanation makes sense, thanks.

I see the (pool-) difficulty only when a change is reported, in the accepted log-line it's still always 0.

Maybe I'll have a look into the phm-sgminer code, WU is already reported as float, so it shouldn't be too hard to do this for A and R as well.

While you look at this could you please have a deeper look into your share/payout system?

I think there's something really weird going on with your pool.

• When I look at the "Round" page, most people have zero shares but get paid according to their PROP share.
  That's already unusual because I sometimes have dozens of rounds without any share listed for my account, but I get paid because I obviously have some.
• Last night I found a block, the blockfinder stats say it was worth 12 DRK.
  When I look at ALL possible found blocks with an amount of 12 DRK I should have at least ONE share for one of them because I have found it, right?
  But in this case all of those blocks say I have 0 shares. How can I find a block without a share?

PS: I'm, talking about the PROP system, maybe your change to PPLNS fixed this...

In most cases (there are rare exceptions) it reports "Accepted 288whatever Diff -0.000/-0.000 GPU 0 at Pool 0"

Edit: Just tested the compiled version from the official Darkcoin homepage.
This one reports "Accepted 26000000 Diff 0/0 GPU 0 at (null)" And ALL accepted shares of this one have 6 trailing zeros...

phm-sgminer, commit 7678db6801977c71a4106e5d8107a4976ab5c8ff (the one before Marucoin was added), self built for Win7 and Win8.1.

Hashrate reported at your pool is about 23 MHs/sec, all rigs run at very conservative settings, no HW errors.

This version of phm-sgminer does not report the assigned difficulty, but the worker details at your pool say 0.03.

Same here, tried several email addresses, checked the SPAM folders, send a message via the contact form...for a kinda "official" pool it really sucks a lot  

That's a very valid point.

Thanks a lot guys and girls for all the information. You rule 

Ah, I remember reading somewhere that pools prefer to pick transactions with fees, so this is possible.
Thanks for this information.

But is this actually done? Especially done when, for a too long time, no block was found?

Of course this reduces the possibility of such a block even more, but as long as the possibility is not zero I personally would still worry about this.

Disclaimer: I'm a complete crypto-currency noob, and besides doing some alt-coin mining for 3 months now I never had the slightest idea what's behind all this.

Not until I've read Satoshi's whitepaper last week.

After letting it settle for some days, and a closer look into the algorithm and source code, I think I might have found a problem which _could_ have serious implications.

I barely scrapped the surface of this all, so if you think I'm wrong either because I'm just dumb or lacking some knowledge feel free to say so, and preferably point me to additional information/papers for further reading.
Most probably someone else has already pointed this out years ago and I just could not find that information.


Anyway, from what I have read a block header is the hash of the version, previous block, Merkle root, time stamp, difficulty (short VPMTD+N because I don't want to write this again   ) and a variable nonce chosen in a way that the resulting hash has the needed number of leading zero bits to fulfill the difficulty criterion.

Since VPMTD is fixed for a given block and SHA256 is a deterministic function the number of possible hashes is finite because the number of nonces is finite (uint32_t possibilities), in other words not all _possible_ hashes exist, just a finite subset.

Therefore it _could_ be that for this given finite set of inputs there is no hash which has the required number of leading zero bits.

VERY improbable, but not impossible.

In this case there would be no next block and the complete block-chain would come to a halt.
So would Bitcoin and a multimillion crypto economy.

Or is (what I would do) there already some heuristic which detects an unusual long block-time (e.g. longer than the difficulty re-target time) and changes the input (if I remember correctly there are some padding bits which could be abused for this, or just change the difficulty which is also part of the hash) to prevent this?

Or am I just the next noob who asks this dumb question?

A curious mind....
