Take your time folks. By and large, the most historical volume happened upwards of 0.0024.

More importantly, can't wait to exercise voting on stuff that matters! Eventually, I would suggest taking up a vote for a fixed tail emission rate (similar to Monero perhaps). This would ensure that both PoS and PoW remain economically meaningful, if not primarily so. Would very much welcome other opinions on this. Cheers!

sambiohazard, all stake pools have the same code base, and to stop your fear, uncertainty and doubts I'm constantly update Dcrstats Stakepool to newest versions and add new security features to protect your accounts (2FA coming very soon, it's been successfuly tested in Evolution already).

So, first of all, if attackers will find a vulnerability in the stakepool or decred software, they won't attack only one biggest pool, but all of them. And you know it doesn't matter then 1 pool with 25% or 5 pools with 5%. Actually, yes, it matters, because I don't know how serious are all 9 pool operators, but our reaction and hot-fixing will be super fast.

Even if hackers can take control under all 10 existing stakepools (c0 + 9 from rfp), what can they do in the short terms? Do not include transactions in next 10 blocks? To destroy next 10 blocks? Even if they will take control of all stake pools, it cannot be a 1-minute attack. Hackers will have to maintain all the infrastructure and pay for the hosting of more than 40 servers, which are not cheap Grin

PS: so far you are the only person who don't like something and who is going to attack the network.

I definitely agree with sambiohazard in this respect, and I'm pretty sure others do as well. I've voiced my concern for a healthier network distribution before, and this initiative, to me, is a step in the wrong direction. Nonetheless, you're providing a staking alternative for the less technical users, so kudos for that.

Folks, please consider joining any of the smaller PoS pools. Thanks!  Wink

ZRC (the altcoin) is barely alive at this point. More like it's on "life support".
I still hold pretty much all the coins I mined, on the off chance that one day I get to spend them, rather than speculate & trade, as is the norm with altcoins.
GoPayWin is the new face/brand to the project, though even a simple brand consolidation has not been done, as far as I can tell.

Not really the pace I had in mind when I got introduced to ZRC, but it is what it is, and at least it does look like merchant adoption remains the focus and some slow and steady progress might one day bear fruits... On the upside: there's no room to drop much further  Grin

Monero has no premine or dev subsidy, so not exactly sure why you threw it in there with ztrash.

Damn it jwinterm, I thought I was getting creative when I first thought of zcrash, then here you come and burst my bubble...   Embarrassed
On topic though, and I had just said so the other day on IRC: I would highly value any privacy enhancing features that might make their way into Decred. Greater privacy does not have to imply that the ledger is lost/gone or emission unknown.

Why did the price tank?  Angry

The people selling are in more of a hurry than the people buying, apparently.

No problem, needing some help myself.

I recently deleted my blockchain data in \users\me\programdata\bitmonero and resynced from scratch.

In addition to the problem I noted above, when I run status in the wallet CLI with the daemon listening on 18080/18081 like normal, it says:

Error: Daemon uses a different RPC version that the wallet: http://localhost:18081. Either update one of them, or use --allow-mismatched-daemon-version.
Refreshed 1157700/?, no daemon connected

Any ideas? Tried that option but didn't seem to fix transfer anyhow, Will try and run status and see what it changed.

Netstat -an  output:

  TCP    0.0.0.0:18080          0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING
  TCP    127.0.0.1:18081        0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING
  TCP    127.0.0.1:18081        127.0.0.1:61186        ESTABLISHED

 Huh

Thanks!

The wallet bin has a new name now, that I don't recall off the top of my head...
Perhaps you are just running the old wallet version as you didn't notice the new bin?

Solution to most of your problems: don't overclock! You will make better use of your electricity and your cards will last much longer.

Better yet, counter your overclocking with a lower TDP.
Much better efficiency, and a lot less strain on the VRMs (and pretty much everything else)   Wink

Where is Alexis miner or thread plz..... thx

The latest published work from Alexis is what got recently merged in Tpruvot's fork, I don't think Alexis has a thread or dedicated repo at this point, at least not specifically for his LBRY contributions. Source and Bins @ https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases

Tpruvot and Alexis are like a partnership or something under the name Epsylon.

Merging code changes and such is all fine, but merging people might not be to everyone's taste  Grin
Both have collaborated on LBRY AFAIK, no clue about other algorithms.

My final suggestion would be 4x5, 3x5, 2x5, 1x5. These are the smallest units while still matching your SMX count.
Sorry, don't have these GPUs anymore to test anything out here...
31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty for Open-Sourced XMR/Cryptonight GPU Miner Bounties Thread on: September 25, 2016, 07:50:44 PM
I think you are referring to the "bfactor" flag which by default is set to 8x40 according to that documentation but that actually no impact on % of GPU utilization.

I tried setting it higher (8x64) and lower (6x32) and it had NO impact on GPU usage %, it would always be consistent at 95-98% usage. To prevent overall lag/delay, I think the maximum GPU usage can't exceed 80%.

It's -l (lower case L). And you really need much lower values if you want to get rid of lag. I don't recall anymore what a 750 TI would use, but maybe try -l 8x20, 8x10, 4x40, 4x30, 4x20 or 4x10, Eventually, you'll hit a number that effectively lowers the GPU usage to the desired levels.

Does the Palit have good cooling system? Ball bearing fans? I thought it was a cheap brand.
copper plate to contact with gpu, 5 heat pipes, cooling for vrm and gpu, huge radiator. Best cooling system on gtx1070 market. Fans are sleeve bearings ... will see how long they will survive ))

Personally I prefer the EVGA Hybrids. Really cool and quiet. A bit expensive though.

Donations hasve increased after the release of 1.8.2

LBRY Sp-mod #3 vs 1.8.2

Gtx 750ti sp-mod #3 is the fastest
[... keyboard stuck ...]

Sp-mod #4 vs 1.8.2

Gtx 750ti sp-mod #3 is the fastest
[... keyboard stuck , and don't you mean #4?...]

Salut from paris.

Is that taking into account the hashrate "lost" to fees?  Roll Eyes
Side note: Interesting that so many people seem to be observing something different.

<random> Fromage! </random>

Is the difficulty d=256 really needed for lbry bat file?  thx

Not at all tbearhere. I've become used to always setting fixed difficulty, and adjust as necessary for my hashrate, but dynamic/vardiff works just fine also. If you don't set a particular diff, it will just keep adjusting itself to maintain a reasonable rate of shares per minute.

If using fixed diff, based on my personal experiences, I would suggest something in the region of d=128 for <250MH/s, d=256 for <500MH/s, and d=512 for 500MH/s upwards. I have not tested above 1GH/s for a single rig/miner though.

I thought you said you would take my hashing ... like 2% for payment for improvement ... or am I mistaken.  Smiley

I dont understand... maybe i've lost neurons today :p

There's no fees or dev-hashing on here tbearhere.
All of your hashrate belongs to you alone.
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. on: September 22, 2016, 08:39:55 PM
This time Epsylon nailed the Pascals. Cheers Smiley
SP_'s miner producing 1825MH on 1070s rig
Epsylon's miner has 1850MH on the same clock with the default intensity , but it has more room for OC also... now I'm stable on 1868MH (without increasing the PowerLimit)

Still the old 9 series cards are working better with SP_'s ...

Release notes point Alexis Provos as the person doing some (most?) of the nailingGrin
To both (Tpruvot & Alexis), a big thank you. A much deserved donation is going your way!
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. on: September 22, 2016, 08:13:06 PM
Epsylons is producing same hashrate as SPs, ~2% less wattage as well. Particularly a 1070 is producing a little more hashrate (less then 1%) and 970 is producing about 5% less on Eps vs SP.

Is that taking into account the hashrate gone to fees, or just raw numbers bensam1231 ?
38  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. on: September 22, 2016, 05:53:21 PM
Would be nice to see some appreciation for the work of other developers, especially as they tend to release their stuff open source to everyone's benefit. For those mining LBRY, it is a good time to keep a close eye on Tpruvot's fork: https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases

FWIW, a couple years old i7 w/SSD, 8GB RAM and 100Mbps connection, took me a few minutes shy of 2 hours to sync from scratch last night. I deleted my older appdata folder & skipped the db conversion as that felt like it would wear the SSD at lot more than a plain re-sync.

As always, great work from everyone that contributed to this release.
Thank you guys for what you all do for Monero and this community.

Happy forking gents!  Cool


It took 2 days for me.
2 days of continuous thrashing of the HDD.
Obviously we need an SSD...

That was a problem for my old machine with cheap HDD and 4GB RAM.  Not enough memory makes the HDD work harder.  Maybe it fried mine?

New machine = still HDD but better and 8GB RAM.  Estimated snyc time was <12 hrs.

Let's be honest, the official forum is totally dead. [...]

By all means, I'll agree to disagree. I do respect other people's opinions, and as an investor/holder myself, I will only add that the marketcap-to-price ratio remains overall favorable to someone that is actively staking, given a reasonable average ticket price.

On the node count: I don't know how precise those figures are, as for example my home node is always up and is never listed in either monkeyland or dcrstats. I imagine that the command line does scare away a lot of people from running their own nodes, but I haven't looked closely enough at how other relevant altcoins are doing in that respect.
