Hi guys Okay, just finished 24 hours+ of testing across 3 PC's, all running 12 threads using the latest Zettelkasten pre-compiled binaries. All connected directly to same 24 port switch. Specs PC 1 - Ryzen 1800x (@3.6 ghz), 2 x 8GB 3200mhz, ssd, Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS PC 2 - Ryzen 1700 (@3.0 ghz), 2 x 4GB 2933mhz, hdd, LinuxLite 4.8 PC 3 - Ryzen 1800x (@3.6 ghz), 2 x 8GB 3200mhz, ssd, Win 10 (2004 fully updated)(No AV running) So, PC1, average 435 kh/s - 28 blocks mined, ~191 coins (Ubuntu 16) PC2, average 402 kh/s - 21 blocks mined, ~142 coins (LinuxLite 4.  PC3, average 429 kh/s - 16 blocks mined, ~108 coins (Win 10) I have to say, the Win 10 results are exactly as I expected, obviously depends on the nethash, the LinuxLite results made me smile, on the 1700, i have never mined so many blocks (note lower ram speed, and capacity), as for the Ubuntu 16 results, well astounding !!! I have tried the linux binaries, on Ubuntu 18.04,and 20.04, Linux Mint 18.2, 19.1, 19.2, 19.3 and 20, also Linux Lite 4.8, but not yet 5.0 I can honestly say, i never thought of going for an older distro, but 16.04 seems to be the best for me. I have zero idea, why my Win 10 results are so poor. If i get time, i'll try LinuxLite 5, and re-test Ubuntu 20 and Mint 20, i think i might even try Win 7 (perhaps its just Win 10 that is so crap) If anyone knows how to compile on Linux, i'd love to try it... I've also looked at my power usage. PC1 - 234 watts full pc (1060 6GB) @ 18p kh/h = £1.01 + 1/5 of daily standing charge (65p/5=13p) = £1.14 PC2 - 160 watts full pc (1030 2GB) @ 18p kh/h = £0.69 + 1/5 of daily standing charge (65p/5=13p) = £0.82 PC3 - 224 watts full pc (1060 6GB) @ 18p kh/h = £0.97 + 1/5 of daily standing charge (65p/5=13p) = £1.10 So, my max mined was 191 coins, according to safetrade i could get 0.00000011 BTC each, so 0.00002101 BTC a day, which is approx £0.18 BUT, it would cost £1.14 to mine them, so a daily loss of £0.96 Or i could simply buy 191 coins @ 0.00000018 BTC each = 0.00003438 BTC or £0.30 which would save me £1.14 - £0.30 = £0.84 over mining the coins, or roughly a 3rd cheaper to buy rather than mine. I appreciate, these are only my rough figures, with UK costs, on this particular 24hour period, and are unlikely to be close to anyone elses figures, but i just thought i would share my findings. J |

Sorry i have taken so long, i could get it to run on Ubuntu 16. Then tried Ubu18, and had to do a load of messing around (lib4.8, etc etc) So finally got it working, but need your ip address, and you to leave the wallet open please |

The 8 year veteran using the exact cpu you accused me of not using
That's not what happened though. You came here whining that you only make "much less than 100 ZTTL a day" so naturally I assumed that you use weak hardware, which is why I said "don't use raspberry" You then acted all insulted that I don't know your specific CPU model off the top of my head: LOL...you should no better than to make poor assumptions, we have spoken many times before.
I don't even know you. Are you active on discord? Under what name? I vaguely remember you from some posts you did here in the past, and I think you sent me one or the other weird private message through this forum, that I didn't even bother to answer. Other than that, who are you, and why are you suddenly acting so self-important? You weird behavior started yesterday right after I reprimanded some other guy (an obvious troll account). Why? What was the matter there? You also still haven't told me what i should be making with 400-500kh/s.
You know exactly how much you are supposed to make statistically. The rest is luck and/or self-inflictedNow you are not being genuine. I was not "whining" about only making 100 coins, i was stating a fact...it wasn't even a criticism, but clearly you took i as such. I don't believe i have ever PM you. ( i could be wrong ) I believe my 1st msg on here was back in early 2018, and even back then i was concerned that i seemed to be struggling to mine blocks with the windows wallet. If you could be bothered to read my posts, you will find that not only have i made very supportive comments about this coin, Funny thing is on July 31st you used my burger to zettel transactions in discord to promote your burger/zettel swap (my 2 lots of 5000). Which i was quite happy to see. However i have always said that i struggle with the windows wallet. Various people have made suggestions, and thou my hashrate seems reasonable, the blocks mined is not. I have posted my specs in most of those posts. I have tried Mint 19, and posted my results a long time ago..same issue...good hash, very few blocks. I even recounted, how i tried mining for 1 day on 2 machines, and didn't mine 1 block, but when i restarted 1 wallet, i started to get a few blocks, the other machine still hadn't received a block in 48 hours. So i have always raised concerns over the windows wallet.... Having said that, during our spat yesterday, i downloaded your latest linux wallet, onto Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS, and started it running 14 hours ago...it has averaged 437 khs and mined me 17 blocks (115 coins). This way more than i have ever achieved before....and looks like it may even be 200 coins within 24 hours. Whilst that is awesome, 40 minutes later, i also put the latest on linuxlite 4.8, and in 13 hours, at 400 kh/s i have mined only 10 blocks (68 coins)...seems a little low blockwise, but no biggy, however i also set up a clean win 10pc with the latest wallet, and in the same 13 hours, 432 kh/s i get 6 blocks (40 coins)... So it would appear there is a massive difference not in the speed of mining, but in the number of blocks produced....which is something i have consistently said about the windows wallet for 2 years.... Having said that, although you think i was just "whinging", i was actually saying that using my figures that it was pointless mining, and much better to buy...well for the windows wallet, for me, that is completely true, and BUT since the linux wallet on Ubuntu16 seems to be finding many more blocks, then i will go redo the math. I am not, and have never been a linux guy, i can type "./autogen.sh, ./configure, and make -j 8", or" qmake, make -j 8", but that is about my limit on linux, so when your source fails to compile which, for me it has on Ubu 16,18,19,20, Mint 18,19, LinuxLite 4.8 and 5 then i can only try the binaries, which although hashrate wise seem very similar, seem in my case to produce very different numbers of blocks mined... I have to say, having been quite supportive of this coin, and you, in many posts, i find it disheartening that you are so quick to dispute my numbers....and very strange that when asked for expected yields, you simply reply, that i should know them, but fail to actually give any indication... Anyway, enough. I will post my 24 hour results edit, i did send you 1 PM. It was regarding old alt coins, and asking if you knew anything about setting up a block explorer, you never bothered to reply. |

Doesn't work without registering...nevermind, the pics are in the links
It works without registering, but you have to embed each pic with its own link, not your whole pic collection as one link. Your hashrate seems reasonable and within what's to be expected for your CPU model. Now why you only make "much less than 100 ZTTL" with such a PC I don't know. My Ryzen x1700 make about 480 kH/s  You said your 1700 makes only 350 kH/s? Seems a bit slow. Something must be throttling you or cause large irregularities over the span of time. I suggest you first of all make sure that you keep at least 20 -30 connections to other peers at all times. (open port 51339) Then try mining with the daemon only for a while, in text-mode, it should run even slightly faster then. Also come to discord and ask others about their mining experience: https://discord.gg/Ef7x2qABut please ask them nicely, don't approach them prejudiced like this or they might get pissed: I think the reality, is simple, i think most people mine blindly, forgetting the costs of their PC, and using "borrowed" power (parents, schools, work, rented accomodation) and therefore have no real idea if they are making money or not....
Oh, you must mean like the nice way you approached me...The 8 year veteran using the exact cpu you accused me of not using "But your calculation does NOT apply to everyone, and that is exactly where an opportunity for some can present itself. Obviously if you can't even mine 100 ZTTL a day (which is like 14 blocks, or 1 % of all blocks), it means you have allocated very weak hardware to this project that is capable of mining not more than 200 kH/s. What is this, a couple of raspberry pi's? I would say almost everyone who mines ZTTL right now is doing so with AMD Ryzen CPU's. (Which makes sense because of the SHA extensions those CPU have) You are the exception." You also still haven't told me what i should be making with 400-500kh/s. |

No idea how you insert images
use https://imgur.com/ to upload pic and then click on "..." (top right corner of pic) then choose "Get Share Links" and then "BBCode (Forums)", you can post bbcode segment here and the pic will show Doesn't work without registering...nevermind, the pics are in the links |

No idea how you insert images, so here goes https://gofile.io/d/2UC1Ychttps://imgur.com/a/RTRScdd This is R1800x, stock, 16GB ram, SSD. 1060 6GB - Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS 0 threads, 4, 8k, 12, 15 and 16 0, 200kh/s, 388 kh/s, 457 kh/s, 500 kh/s, 510 kh/s Clean install, debug file deleted, wallet deleted, after sync, so both will be empty |

LOL...you should no better than to make poor assumptions, we have spoken many times before.
I am mining with a 1700, and a 1800x....they both get around 350-450khs thats all and that gets me much less than 100 coins a day per pc, always has done, besides,
If you know of anyone mining with an 1800x getting substantially more than 450kh/s then they are not using your windows wallet....
I also tried mining burgerbot, which on the surface seems much better, but due to the extremely poor swap rate, actually works out to be even less profitable....
So,if i am wrong, then fair enuff, but lets see some proof of certain hashrates and the coins they mine per day, cos for me 15t on my 1800x is a complete waste of time.
I don't make any assumptions, I don't have to. Net hashrate has been steadily around 20 MH/s. If you mine with a combined 800 kH/s (4% of net hashrate) and mine " much less than 100 coins a day per pc", then I can't help but think you are doing something wrong. (connectivity, orphans, etc) Or you are exaggerating. Mining is not for everyone. I think you might need to look at upping the reward
lol, I can't believe you would recommend something like that.... changing protocol just because you are not happy with your mining results. PMSL. I have been mining over 8 years, and mine over 200 live altcoins, with another 1500 old wallets Not really sure what you are suggesting with "think you might be doing something wrong", you wallet has a mining tab, with a slider and a start button, not really sure what I could be doing wrong.... I have zero connectivity issues, no idea about orphans your wallet doesnt give all the facts, but i am in the UK, so there may be a latency issue... Also, going back to the original argument, if its cheaper to buy coins than to mine them, then unless their is a specific benefit to mining over simply buying the coins, then there is absolutely no point in mining. I usually get the old nugget, well you have to mine to keep the blockchain moving, well that is true, but 1 block a day keeps the blockchain moving As for increasing the rewards, i think you'll find that it is a popular solution when the cost of mining is so out of kilter with the cost of buying, and has been done with many popular coins....but, het whay do i know Perhaps, instead of being defensive, like i say, post some screenshots of hashrates, and some daily rewards. Just to see if i am "exaggerting", i could be wrong, i am just downloading your latest linux gui wallet, and will see what hashrates i get... I think the reality, is simple, i think most people mine blindly, forgetting the costs of their PC, and using "borrowed" power (parents, schools, work, rented accomodation) and therefore have no real idea if they are making money or not.... |

yes, has been for a while. People should use this exchange more, sometimes they can get a better price there. Recommended to keep both exchanges in your eyes for sure Even if you get a better price, this project is dying. Nobody wants this coin?!!? So why buy it from miners I looked through your posts of today. You literally went to a dozen coins and told them they are dead or dying. What are you doing with your life? Hi Zettelkasten, Whilst i don't agree the coin is dead, i have to say i too am struggling to continue to mine it. It costs around 5-10x to mine compared to simply buying...lets face it, with a value of 0.00000002 BTC / coin, even if you could mine 1000 coins per day ( i can't even mine 100), you would still only earn 0.00002000 BTC, thats £0.18 in the UK, and would cost around £1.50-£2 to mine.... I think you might need to look at upping the reward, or to be frank, as a mining coin, it is pretty much dead.....as a currency, who knows.... Before everyone moans at me, seriously guys, if anyone is mining with a decent cpu 8 core and above, and is happy making less than 10p a day, with £1-2 a day power costs, then i think you're in the wrong game. Perhaps, in the first few 1000 blocks, when a new coin comes out, and you take a chance holding for a year or 2, but if its a mature coin (which this is now) at this production rate, only makes sense to buy.... No problem with your assessment. Everyone has to make their own calculation whether it's worth it or not. But your calculation does NOT apply to everyone, and that is exactly where an opportunity for some can present itself. Obviously if you can't even mine 100 ZTTL a day (which is like 14 blocks, or 1 % of all blocks), it means you have allocated very weak hardware to this project that is capable of mining not more than 200 kH/s. What is this, a couple of raspberry pi's? I would say almost everyone who mines ZTTL right now is doing so with AMD Ryzen CPU's. (Which makes sense because of the SHA extensions those CPU have) You are the exception. If you believe long term in this project, buying it right now is indeed cheaper. Mining with efficient hardware is the second best thing. But mining with weak hardware is questionable, as your example demonstrates LOL...you should no better than to make poor assumptions, we have spoken many times before. I am mining with a 1700, and a 1800x....they both get around 350-450khs thats all and that gets me much less than 100 coins a day per pc, always has done, besides, If you know of anyone mining with an 1800x getting substantially more than 450kh/s then they are not using your windows wallet....

It seems that I successfully mined 2 blocks. The problem is that I don't know the addresses. I've never seen them, but the coinbase reward went to them.   ^ I only have that one address. You're missing the point. If the wallet has ZERO connections, the blocks don't count. There is no chain. They can never validate. Like i say, you need a seednode or at least 1 other wallet. Is this your brandnew coin, or an old one you have found? |

You cannot mine , even solomine with zero connections. I don't know much about wallets, but they do need a connection to a seednode, or at the very least 1 other wallet. |

How to know if it's running?  Your wallet is connecting to any nodes, so thats your first problem. Once you have a node / seednode i can help you. you need a .conf file, i'm guessing you know where that goes? it needs to contain rpcuser=user (any username) rpcpassword=password (any password) server=1 daemon=1 listen=1 rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 rpcport=5555 (any port, but best to goto wallet, HELP, SHOW commands, and the default rpc port will be listed) Then you need to start the wallet with ./mycoin - server If it can't find the correct .conf, in the correct location, it usually shows you what it should be called, and where it expects to find it.... ./minerd --algo=scrypt --url=http://127.0.0.1t:5555 -u user -p password --coinbase-addr=TDuGXYumssr2Xw2utvXyEYNCdFtTj5XguV -t 4 I have used "scrypt" because you said it was based on"litecoin", you need to use tha wallet to create a new receive address....give it a name of solo, then if you eventually make a pool, you can see what comes from where. technically you can just use the first address, but i always find that creating a new one works...no idea why. If that fails, drop me a DM, i can try your wallet on my PC and see if i can get you going. J |

I was mining VRM a couple months ago and never really figured out how to get VRC or how to stake the coin.
It this already possible? Can I send VRM to a VRC wallet and will that in turn generate VRC?
Hi, i'd like to know the same please. I have tried sending VRM to VRC and it just gets lost, also tried importing priv keys and still to good. I thought this was one of the main goals of the binary chain? Seems pointless if you cant change VRM into VRC Looks like this coin has finally died. 1 months gone by and the Devs can't be bothered answering my simple, yet fundamental question. No doubt, if they do read this, they'll simply say pop over to "discord" Well, erm, no, thisis the make forum, so please come clean, and tell us why we can't send VRM to VRC as promised years ago..... |

Hi miners.
Just wondering guys n gals.
Who else here, is actually mining this coin ?
I'd love to hear your experiences, what hash rate you have, what rig you have, and roughly how many coins a day you are mining.
Also, same with the staking people....
How much, get you how much?
What would i get with roughly 3000 coins?
The only 2 addresses i can see who have won blocks in the past 24 hours, are
1 address with 42,000+ coins --- got 42+ coins in last 24 hours
2 address with 2,000,000+ coins --- get 760+ coins in the last 24 hours. and got over 3400 coins the day before.
That second address is staking more a day than i have ever mined !
From the figures, it seems this is pretty much a 1 horse POS coin (Proof Of Stake - not Piece of...)

HI Deff,
Just been looking under "Options"
I see there are "Enable POW cpu mining", and "Enable POS cpu mining" optoins.
Should the POW be ticked or unticked for use with external miner? I have tried both ways, and neither affects the green status of POW, POS in the bottom right corner of wallet?
I'm guessing ticking / unticking them should do something?
I am also trying all the versions i can of cpuminer -opt..... now i see a
"JSON-RPC call failed: Unable to sign block, wallet locked?
[2020-08-24 10:17:16] submit_upstream_work json_rpc_call failed
[2020-08-24 10:17:16] ...retry after 10 seconds"
I simply "run" the wallet, on its defaults, it is not "encrypted, etc"
Any ideas?
Can you recommend an external miner?
Thanks
J

Hi Deff, Hows things? I have just built a new mining pc, and started from scratch with Win 10, and wallet "v6.1.1.45-g32a928e-cache-2018-beta-one" I couldn't find a bootstrap, so i just started from zero, have to say, quickest sync so far, i think it took less that 8 hours, which seems a great improvement on the older wallets... However, slightly concerned....i have ben mining in the wallet (setgenerate true for over 30 hours, and not a single block.... { "blocks" : 406288, "currentblocksize" : 1000, "currentblocktx" : 0, "difficulty" : 0.00000095, "errors" : "", "generate" : true, "genproclimit" : 8, "hashespersec" : 0, "networkhashps" : 0, "pooledtx" : 0, "testnet" : false, "Nfactor" : 19, "N" : 1048576, "powreward-new" : 40.00000000, "powreward-old" : 100.00000000 } The wallet permanently says "out of sync", and you can see my hashrate says "0" So i have duplicated this on 2 other PC's 1) i have tried cpuminer-opt 3.14.3 ...i get " json_rpc_call failed, retry after 10 seconds" error... 2) I have tried ccminer, and it "finds a block within a few minutes, but always fails "[2020-08-24 09:16:00] NVML GPU monitoring enabled.

Yet someone managed to mine over 60 blocks in 24 hours.....3 days ago. That's more blocks than i have mined in 3 years ! (on / off, not continuous) How can this be? I think you have simply made this algo to "hit and miss"...sorry mate, but i can't say it any other way. I really hope you can fix it, cos i love scrypt:N coins, and TBH, this is about last man standing. I have just had a look at the richlist and it is actually really depressing reading. The top wallets are staking more coins than i can mine in a week... What incentive does that give any new miner? Remember months ago, you helped me compile a linux version...well that wallet, i managed to mine a total of 1000 coins in just over 1 week, bringing my 3 year total upto just over 3500 coins. That wallet mined slowly, but consistently each day, until it lost all connections, and has never re-connected since (yes it has all the current live nodes) That was the last time i gave in. The new wallet i cna't get to compile on any versions of linux, so i tried the latest windows wallet, well you can see my results above...zero. I honestly think, if you want to encourage any new miners, that this whole chain needs a start over.... Split to a "live" chain and a "test" chain, we can all dedicate a thread or 2, just to keep the test chain ticking over, so you can do your tweaks, but please lets get back to a chain that a normal small miner has some chance on. As for the exsisting wallets...well thats hard, but how can someone with less that a 100 / 1000 coins be expected to compete with the 100K / 1 mil wallets? Without a pool, virtually no chance to even get a coin nevermind a block. Perhaps, look at say the most recent 50 wallets, total their balances, and do a new chain, premine that balance + 10% (10% for you), then distribute that balance to those 50 wallets... That may give newbies some slight incentive to start mining. Sorry to be so harsh, but lets face it, if there is no pool, and you cant mine a single block with 8t cpu in 36 hours, then i think the coin is dead.....or, you reward the current major share holders, and give up on POW altogether....the rich will get massively richer, and the rest...well...... J BTW, it you're up for talking me thru compiling on either Ubuntu or Mint (versions 18/19/20) or my new fav LinuxLite 5 (much better for mining) , then i will happily try mining for another 36 hours.... |

Good morning, I'm midway thru sorting out all my crypto drives, and so far i believe i have found 8 different versions of Datacoin (for windows). I was just wondering which wallet most people are using. When i say 8 versions, i have found 3 versions of Datacoin HP14, which initially i thought were all the same, but on close inspection, the files sizes / dates are different, and 1 version has 1 extra .dll I cannot remember where i got each version from, and i think there was a "virus" scare with at least 1 of them. That got me to looking at the explorer, which i seem to remember had version info, but i cannot find ANY working explorers currently. Then i went to page 1 of this forum, Official Github Repository https://github.com/datacoinproject/datacoin (version 0.16.3) Datacoin Core 0.15.99 Windows wallet: https://yadi.sk/d/eu7rJ9EN3VSYBF0.8.6 Wallet (Binary) Releases for Windows, Mac and Linux https://github.com/datacoinproject/datacoin/releasesWebsite www.datacoininfo.org - which takes you to " http://datacoininfo.org/Wallets/datacoin-qt.exe" (no version, you have to just try it) So all in, its a right confusing mess, no wonder the newbies get stumped. If any one can find stats as to which wallet the majority are using, i'd like to make sure i'm at least using that one. I'm not sure why the " https://chainz.cryptoid.info/" explorerer is no longer available, but that is my 2nd concern. With the extremely low hashrate currently, without a live block explorer, it is virtually impossible to know if the chain has split, and whilst that might be fine using coinsforall.io, if you are solomining, its a nightmare. As a starting point, the most common wallet i have on my Windows and Linux PC's is version 0.8.6. Any thoughts? |

I guess what we are all really looking for is the compiled Windows and Linux binaries.... |

Hiyas Cat Herders! Follow the links for the new updated Gapcoin Wallet! ========== What links?  ? ========== It is updated so In-Wallet Custom mining can still be done easily. The New Kernel for Libre-Linux has seemed to have fixed the backdoor issue with the screen-saver. So it is good to go. |
