mmm...well...mmm...er, cheers...
not really sure what else to say...
My wallet shows the network hashrate is now 24.6TH - thats 24,600GH...
I'm currently running 2 of the 6 full nodes shown on the full nodes list in the link in the previous post, cheers MilkandPie4U for the link...
I don't know much about predicting future difficulty calculations, but I do know that my CGMiner window shows "15:13:12 - Network diff set to 25M" in the middle of a long stream of new block detections before and after...it was already 25M as far as I know, so I don't know what that means...
Honestly, I don't know how much I support UNB anymore after everything I have seen today...Yes, its good to add hashrate to the network, but the absolutely massive increase today really does not impress me at all - almost looks like a lead up to another pump and dump, or something unsustainable, which means the effects from last time will probably look small in comparison to this time round...but that's just my opinion...
Currently, I'm pretty sure that I will be at less of a loss if I just turn my 7GH off, and even if I was pool mining, I can't believe my mining reward will be much better than the 0 UNB I'm currently at, cos when people can add THs as quickly as today has shown, is there really any point for the "Average Joe" trying to participate...Rewards are relational to the hash power you have, the hash power others have, and the total hash power overall...A few years ago more people had less processing power compared to what is achievable by todays standards...if you can afford the kit and the electric bill...all now shows is how quickly a network can be hijacked from the many to benefit the few - I can talk to the banks and the gov if I want that...UNB today is not the same as UNB was yesterday, and for worse not better, but thats again just my opinion...
Even if the odds of me actually finding a block with 7GH were unachievable against 2,000GH, it was still more achievable than now against this much processing power...If its just about pushing to the front to get a cut of the pie, then this is not something I want to be involved in anymore...
I was actually originally privately asked not to add a massive amount of hashrate to the network...not that I could have done this, but either way, I wanted to show respect to everyone else that was still involved in UNB and not do this...especially if I wasnt committing hash power permenantly - I am very disappointed that so much hashrate has been dumped on the network in such a short period of time...I can't believe it will be of that much benefit, cos I'm sure the difficulty will now re-adjust to be higher...too much for too long as far as I can see...
Now I think I'm just gonna watch and see how things work out... more nodes and less hashrate might be an idea instead...especially if I do turn off my 2 nodes, cos that will only leave 4, and one of them is iSpace...how much do you trust them, and how much do they really care about UNB...
"Hope for the best, plan for the worst"...
"Theres hoping for a cut, either solo mining or pool mining, then theres just plain old greed"
"One for All and everyone for themselves" ?!?!
Cheers...

... Meant to say, current block is 45932 - next block to be found is 45933.
I think thats 45 blocks found today so far !!! - 45 blocks x 50 UNB = 2250 UNB mined today so far !!!
mental...ridiculous...er, pick one... then perhaps read or re-read my previous post if you haven't already !!!
Cheers !

hey everyone  Jim, cheers for yr comments - I haven't given up on the pool concept, but I have had many headaches so far... I have also looked into CoiniumServ, and although that does now appear to have a web front end, I have researched into the backend database structure / configuration, and not come up with very much at all... I just had a look at my solo mining setup - still 0 UNB mined so far using BFL 7GH ASIC...But, my CGMiner window has a stream of blocks found within the last 24 hours - it seems that 4TH processing power has been added to the network through the iSpace Pool, and mined a bunch of blocks...This additional hashrate is still currently running... The iSpace chart shows the current network hashrate on average at 400TH - this is completely wrong - my wallet shows total network hashrate at 6.569TH - an increase of about 4TH from what was 2.468TH on 2nd July 2016. Its funny - from a network hashrate perspective, this is great that more processing power has been added to the network...but from a personal perspective, my 7GH, which has been useless so far, just became even more useless, if thats possible... If 6TH / 6000GH is the new norm, then I just went from 7GH versus 2000GH, to 7GH versus 6000+GH, which really does seem completely pointless me solo mining 7GH now... 3 choices:- 1 - Give up solo mining or increase my hashrate with everything that I have which will cost me an absolute small fortune to run, and prob still won't be anything good compared to versus 6000+GH - I can make a small current loss with BTC, or a massive current loss with UNB, although both BTC and UNB factors involve the value increasing in the future, to counteract the current losses... 2 - Sign up to iSpace with the hope of a tiny amount of reward from my 7GH, or use every miner I have, which again, goes back to point 1's running costs. 3 - My original plan to get a pool working to get more cpu/gpu/low end ASICS involved is prob out the window for me running it at my current location, and especially if the hashrate new norm is now 6000+GH and not 2000GH. Also, you would need an absolute s tonne of low end miners to achieve any good amount of hashrate, which still has no guarantee that it will mine anything, especially if anyone else can add 4+TH to the network just like that... I can only say that yes, UNB is working, but, in my opinion, it is being let down by so much around it, for varying reasons and degrees, that I am unsure what to make of it all anymore... "If you got all the currency in the world, it's prob worthless by that point cos you got it all" "If at first you don't succeed, try again...If you then don't succeed, perhaps it's just not meant to be..." "A short term gain for a long term loss, or a short term loss for a long term gain..." "Sometimes, a little bit of something is better than a whole bunch of nothing..." "Noone can do everything..." "Are you a leader or a follower, a follower or a leader..." "You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your enemies..." "Is the enemy of my enemy my friend or my enemy..." "Don't put nothing in, expect nothing out..." "Gotta spend money to make money..." "Hope for the best, plan for the worst..." "mmm...plan...need one..." ...and that's basically where I'm at...a whole bunch of all sorts that answers questions and questions answers... Cheers |

Cheers Vlad2Vlad ! It has been fun... until now... Thanks for the comments... If you do take over ownership or development of UNB, let me know, and I'll try my hardest to help however possible... Until next time... Cheers ! |

Hey everyone I have spent the majority of the last few days trying to get a Mining Pool Server working with UNB... About 1.5 years ago I had my own crypto and small MPOS mining pool, which I ran for about 6 months, so I do have some experience... I hope the following info will be of help to someone, cos I have so far failed to get a pool working successfully... 1 - There seems to only be 3 real choices for Mining Pool software, as far as I can see - MPOS (complete solution), UNOMP (supposed to replace or at least work with MPOS), and CoiniumServ (back end server with no web front end). 2 - Most of my hardware supports x64 OS as the base install, but only supports x86 VM's / virtual PC's, so I can only run VM's with OS's that are x86 / 32bit...everything done below was done using a Lubuntu 14.04 x86 VM. 3 - I tried installing UNOMP, but if I remember correctly, got stuck at the same error as the one posted here - SyntaxError: Error parsing /home/dragos/unomp/node_modules/merged-pooler/package.json: Unexpected string in JSON at position 2304 #135 - https://github.com/UNOMP/unified-node-open-mining-portal/issues/135 - this issue was opened 14 days ago - today is 03-07-2016. 4 - I rolled back to before installing UNOMP, and tried installing MPOS and the stratum components instead - which all seemed to install correctly... The problem starts when trying to install mySQL Workbench to be able to manage the actual MPOS database...The latest version of mySQL Workbench is only x64, so no x86 version at all, so I tried using - MySQL Workbench 6.1.7 - Ubuntu Linux 12.04 (x86, 32-bit), DEB - as that seems to be the last version that works for x86...I downloaded the deb installer, double clicked, and an installer window opens stating that the package cannot be installed due to missing dependancy libc-something-0, sorry can't remember the full name...anyway I tried to install the missing component, but it seems that the "apt-get install" file is either missing, or has been replaced, so either way, I couldn't seem to get the dependency installed to then be able to get the installer of mySQL Workbench to install the Workbench application... 5 - All was not completely lost, as I still had my old MPOS VM for my own crypto stashed away, and that had everything working, including the mySQL Workbench application...so I dug that out, updated the OS, got the UNB wallet working, updated MPOS and the stratum components from the git sources to the latest versions, as far as I am aware, changed a whole bunch of configs, ran the stratum mining twisted command, without sudo and got permission errors, ran with sudo, and it started to look like it was working, then gave me errors that it couldnt connect to the wallet / daemon correctly / the connections were being dropped, "check my wallet config", so I did that, and just cant find any problems... ... and that is where I am currently at - not being able to get a pool working, sorry... So far as now, I am giving up...I have the knowledge to run a pool, but not to do all the programming of the components that make the pool work, and fix problems like this when they appear... The only consolation I can offer currently is the following link - An Open Source Mining Pool Bounty and DEVgrant - https://blog.ethereum.org/2016/03/29/an-open-source-mining-pool-bounty/" Though there are some instances of open source Ethereum pool mining software available, the uptake has been low, and there appears to be a large efficiency gap between proprietary and available open source pool software. We propose to change that. As of today, the Ethereum Foundation is offering a bounty to a developer or team who wishes to begin this project, based on the “performance” of the end result " Basically, Mining Pool Software sucks, and Ethereum are trying to change that - good luck to them - hopefully it will be able to be used with other alt-coins aswell, like UNB...If anyone actually creates something... I am currently still running 2 accessible full nodes, and solo mining with my BFL 7GH ASIC... As to how long I will be doing this is still open ended...So far, although its been fun, I am currently at a "loss" , and have mined a total of 0 blocks, so have a wallet that still contains 0 UNB My intention of running a small pool, dedicated to UNB, was to try to get more cpu / gpu / low end ASIC miners involved in UNB, with the hope of something small being better than nothing at all, for everyone involved... Yeah, I could sign up for iSpace, but I was originally looking to find, then looking to create, a pool that was focused only on UNB, like Slush is for BTC, and use that focus and enthusiasm to try to help make UNB better for everyone involved...now, I feel like...disappointed...bit less enthusiasm cos theres not much else happening here...and bored...sorry... If anyone wants to get involved with helping me to setup a pool, please do give me a shout..If Mining Pool software improves, and I can get it to work with UNB, then I hope to revisit this project again in the future... I'll update if anything changes... Cheers ! Sonix711. |

Hey everyone Just a really quick update... Last block found is 45885 - next block to be found is 45886. Network Hashrate increase to 2.468TH I now have 14 connections to my wallet, although I havent had a chance to look to see which connections are accepting connections back from me...well done everyone involved !!! iSpace has updated their info:- "our last block" is now 45883, which is showing in the "last 10 blocks" found list as being mined with iSpace - this means that "our last block" is the last block found by iSpace pool, and not the latest block that has been found by anyone... It appears that their "24 hour hashrate" graph corresponds to at least the time when their block was found and an increase in hashrate to about 2TH / 2,000GH - as far as I can see...interesting... Well done anyone that found a block...and anyone that didn't, thanks anyway for contributing hashrate to the network... !!! Cheers ! |

Hey everyone Just wanted to post some updated info... 1 === I have setup a full node that is running on my Digital Ocean Droplet in London Data Center - there now seems to be a total of 4 accessible full nodes on the network...2 of which are mine...4 total is better than 3 total, but not as good as 5 or more total would be... 2 === I didn't have much success running the Linux Black Wallet that I downloaded from www.unbreakablecoin.com - I'm not sure if the original download file is corrupt, or x64 only, or if there was a problem with something I was doing... Anyway...My Digital Ocean Droplet, running Ubuntu 14 x86, only has 512MB RAM, and errored "out of memory" when I originally tried to compile the wallet from source code. I successfully compiled in a Lubuntu 14 x86 VM with 2GB RAM, and the wallet ran successfully without problems, as far as I am aware - a single file is created from the source compile that contains all files related to the UNB Wallet. I was able to sftp the compiled wallet file to the Ubuntu Droplet, and that is what is now running the second full node. The compiled x86 file is also on my Dropbox - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mtnp1wihrid4qok/AACDU5O2N-jXY7oFCdiGrS5Ma?dl=0 - for anyone that wants to use it - I haven't changed any of the source code - I just followed the instructions in the readme-qt.rst file, in the docs folder, installed a few components, ran qmake, ran make, and after a few mins, job done I'm sure the extra components are still required to run the wallet...hope this helps someone... 3 === I looked at iSpace and the information is still the same as before...honestly, a bit disappointing I think... We are now currently searching for block 45883 - this means the last found block is 45882 at 11:01am today - about 2 hours ago... Interestingly, the iSpace hashrate graph shows a massive hashrate increase between about 4am and 5:30am - I think someone plugged in a new S7 or something like that as the graph shows a massive spike from 1TH to 12TH - thats 1,000GH to 12,000GH !!! mental Also interestingly, as far as I can see, the hashrate increase does not seem to match with any of the blocks found times, shown in my CGMiner window:- block 45878 - found 7:34am blocks 45879, 45880, 45881 & 45882 - found between 10:06am & 11:01am I'm not sure what conclusion to make from this, but either way, as far as I can see, there is no problem as the blocks are valid, so its perhaps just something to be aware of when looking at the time line at the bottom of the graph...I'm sure the blocks were found in that time period as I just can't believe that someone turned on 12TH and mined nothing... Current network hashrate is 2.342TH, and there are 486 blocks to find until the next difficulty change. ( 46368 - 45882 = 486 ) 486 - that number takes me back in PC spec and years...crazy how far and fast things have progressed... That's all folks - for the moment - thanks for reading & hope you enjoyed the update - they will appear from me if and when I feel an update is necessary... Any questions or coments, just shout... Cheers Edited: Sorry, I mean Bitmain S9 Miner, although Bitmain S7 does exist, at about 4.7TH... |

Very welcome, cheers ! I just finished uploading a vid to my youtube channel about UNB and how I ended up here - my vids aren't that professional, but I always aim to make them at least a bit informative / educational... feel free to watch, comment, and subscribe... - UNB - UnbreakableCoin - New Project, sort of... - https://youtu.be/buMJBcHRAeEI also have a vid of my latest infrastructure and mining setup - sounds more impressive than it is, but still more complicated than the average I'm sure... - Same Box - Different Mining Setup... - https://youtu.be/u7SpmiqhmRwMy youtube vids are either recorded using webcam and webcam recording software or bandicam screen recorder software with extra webcam audio...then they are uploaded to my local sftp server...from there they are uploaded to my Digital Ocean Droplet in London datacenter over a few hours / days ( no joke )... then I connect to the droplet using ssh and vnc to upload to youtube using firefox and the youtube webpage uploader, in about 10 mins average... again, no joke my tinternet bandwidth isn't the quickest, and my vids are not exactly the smallest of files - some vids are short, some vids are long...some have lots of views, some have only a few...many vids about all sorts...hope you enjoy Cheers ! |

mmm...interesting...cheers for contacting them... well, I don't know where their webage info comes from, but it definitely isnt live, thats for sure...cos I just checked, and its all still the same... I see about 50GHs is currently showing as running in their 24 hour hashrate chart...if a block is found through iSpace, please could someone update here, thanks...I will try to keep an eye on the page aswell... I totally understand inflation...personally, I would like to see a block created at least every 3 days, if not every day, just to keep the chain and transactions flowing...other than that, I don't mind my 7GH, about 60watts, chugging 24/7 lottery style...if everyone can have a bit of UNB, then that would really be the people's money... I was looking back at the blocks list on iSpace yesterday, and I know there were more blocks being mined just before I joined than there are now...I haven't seen any hashrate graphs so I don't know much about that other than about page 13 on here there was about 50THs on the network, but that was at least a year ago... Its not all about the asics - they can be as much a help as a hinderance, depending on what you are trying to achieve...I sure most cpu/gpu miners move to scrypt coins when the time comes - as far as I can see, the more cpu / gpu miners mining UNB, the better for everyone... Thanks again to everyone involved - its always a pain when there are problems, and if your just a middleman, its even more of a pain, so is even more appreciated when its sorted...I've done IT Support for at least 10 years, so I have a bit of experience in this... Cheers ! |

Cheers ! What I don't have in hashing power, I try to make up for with enthusiasm You done 2 blocks in a few mins - I done 0 blocks in about 2-3 days gotta love the power of 1 x BFL 7GH hopefully my luck will change soon, but no way am I holding my breath being part of something big - BTC - is good - but being part of something a bit smaller - UNB - is better a more personal touch Perhaps I will move more of my small hashihg total to UNB as time goes on...I am looking at the bigger picture though... "what can you do for your crypto matters as much as what your crypto can do for you" - or something like that... Cheers !!! |

As far as my maths work... last 2016 block = 44352 current block = 45873 next 2016 block = 46368 ... 45873 / 2016 = 22.75446428571429 22 x 2016 = 44352 23 x 2016 = 46368 46368 - 45873 = 495 ... 495 blocks left until next difficulty change... hope helps - maths does do my head in though... sorry - newbie posting time delay - courtesy of bitcointalk hashrate increase, now 2.011 THs - new blocks found - 45874, 45875 next block to find - 45876 connections still at 3. Cheers ! |

I'd also like to point out to all those people that claim the difficulty was to high in the beginning, premine, ra ra ra, that if the starting speed is 333mhs block erupter, then the difficulty will stay low for longer, but if the starting speed is 1TH, dont expect a small difficulty...
Its like saying "this miner is the most efficient - it only needs £1k worth of elec per month" - what matters most, overall efficiency, or overall cost...both...everything is relational...I run most my mining kit now at a loss to keep the overall amount at a gain...in theory...
If you got all the currency in the world, its prob worthless by that point, cos you got it all...share and share alike...
The maths for coin generation were based on 1 block every 5 mins, not 1 block per day...go slower, takes longer... blame the mining sheeple effect, aswell as the principle of short term gain long term loss, long term gain short term loss - its finding the balance in between, and trying to get others to also do the same...thats what I think anyway...
Sorry if this is stating the obvious...
Cheers !

Cheers !!! I didn't think of that !!! If the exchanges use iSpace...so much for redundancy...!!! Lets hope they get it sorted fast then, whatever the prob is !!! I think that the last 2 blocks mined only contained new UNB coin info as they are bang on 50 UNB, so had no extra transaction fees included, although free transactions are entirely possible - I think I'm at the top of my blockchain knowledge tree now, sorry... My blockchain folder, located in C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\unbreakablecoin\ is about 80MB... my BTC blockchain folder is about 80GB !!! Please can more people run the wallet client and port forward port 9336 to the wallet client and help keep the UNB network decentralised - please lets not all rely on someone else... I only have 3 connections total, so you only need like 5 more centralised copies of the blockchain to be able to control the UNB network...now, thats what I call a form of 51% attack... What if iSpace had been the only wallet that everyone was updating from...thats possibly really messy, and probably really bad...luckily, luck is currently on our side...and miners of blocks 45871, 45872, and 45873 should be happy as their blocks will still exist, not to mention that every transaction has now got 3 more confirmations... Please do correct me if at any point I need correcting... I can chat seriously as much as I can seriously chat... but I do not know everything !!! Cheers !!! |

Hey everyone Just wanted to say that a new block was generated about 40 minutes ago, although not by me, so the latest block is now 45873, and we should all now be looking to create block 45874. iSpace pool information has not changed / updated, so it appears that their last know block is still 45870. It also appears that iSpace pool is still in use because their 24hour hashrate chart shows activity between about 8am and 9am - I dont know where the time information comes from, but the chart ends at 12:47pm, and its now 12:47pm in UK - their chart doesn't show times very informatively... Please be aware that until their block information is updated, it is possible that they are still running on an out of date UNB blockchain, so it is possible that any time spent mining UNB using iSpace is efforts wasted as the data will not be valid. I hope this is not the case, but its entirely possible that it is - it all depends on what information is correct and up to date, and what is not. Personally, although I hope iSpace sorts out whatever the problem is, and soon, I currently still wouldn't mine with them until its sorted, if at all anymore...but that's just my opinion Updates welcome !!! Cheers. Sonix711. |

Well... I hate to say it, but personally, I don't trust iSpace for pool mining UNB... It still says 45870 as "our last block", and none of the information on the "last 10 blocks" has changed either... its either not updating live, or not updating at all... I don't have an account to test and see what info the miner / pool shows...yet... mmm... unless theres another pool out there, or anyone is interested in helping me run a pool server, then I guesss its solo mining only for the moment... A few more blocks should be enough to completely invalidate iSpace's copy of the blockchain and "force" them to either fix their wallet or stop suppporting UNB completely - I hope they fix their wallet so I can make 7GHs worth something again But, do it properly, or don't do it at all... Cheers ! |

cheers ! sorry for any nitemares peeps... my router just had 4 connections on 9336 - decrease in hash rate to 1.913 THs - still says 3 connections - new block found - 45872 - block explorer shows 45872... iSpace still shows 45870. wish I had that amount of hashing power !!! Cheers !!! |
|
|
|
Cheers !!! - very welcome, although I wish it was good news instead...unfortunately, some people are more busy than others... Its as bad as its ok - if iSpace pool doesnt update their chain, it will eventually either become invalid when their wallet re-sync's with the network, or if enough people run their chain copy instead of the "propper" chain, their chain will become the new chain, and anything that existed in the "propper" chain will no longer exist... If I am correct in everything I have said... think its a bit like a 51% attack, although attacking the blockchain without actually meaning to, using unsuspecting miners and a lack of decentralisation and network / data availability... or something like that... As long as iSpace updates their blockchain to the latest block, or there are enough other nodes to outvote iSpace's blockchain, and as long as people stop mining with iSpace until they sort it, it will be ok...in theory... Cheers !!! |
|
|
|

Cheers for quick replys...
Actually, I think it's like half a fork - as soon as iSpace pool finds the next block, because I think its a block behind for whatever reason, thats the completion of the fork... as long as iSpace updates to the latest block, then the fork is avoided - it does mean that since block 45871 was generated sunday 26th June 2016 at 00:56:06, everyone mining UNB with iSpace has been working on old blockchain data, sorry...
Like I said, I want to be wrong, but I don't think I am...
Cheers !!!

Hey Thanks !!! I'm concerned about the possible fork - please could you or someone else verify what I have said about the block numbers and the iSpace pool, thanks !!! iSpace - http://ispace.co.uk/coindetails/?coin=unbBlock Explorer - https://www.blockexperts.com/unbSometimes it's better to be wrong, although if there is a prob, and its sorted before it really happens, or gets worse, then thats still all good. If I am correct, then anyone mining with iSpace is wasting their time and may even cause the unbreakablecoin network problems, until the blockchains are sync'd properly - Block 45871 was generated on sunday 26th June 2016 at 00:56:06 - iSpace shows last known block as 45870 generated on 23/06/2016 20:06:27 Just so everyone can stay informed and any problems can get sorted before anything escelates and makes new news !!! no news is good news - even if any publicity is good publicity... Thanks !!! |
