Oh i see thanks

Yes, I'm currently hashing about 2.50 MH, however, the lower the hashrate, the longer the it takes to find a block reward, on the other hand, the higher the hashpower, the quicker the reward. Ex, when I hashed at 250 MH, I received a reward about every 30 minutes, roughly 120,000 Moon.
Is there a way to give an estimate as to how much hash power mooncoin needs to prevent the chain grinding to halt every once in a while? Of course transactions will go through but the 90s block time is not met currently with current hash power. Is it some kind of multi pool that switches to moon coin for very short periods of time?

That's a great question, I'm not sure. However, a little over a week ago I was hashing 1 GH for 18 hrs, I recall the block chain moving a lot faster during that period. But it would be nice to find what hashrate is required to keep the chain moving efficiently without over paying.

It's not about the hashrate as such. It is all about how constant the hashrate is kept (that's why it went OK, when you dedicated 1 GH/sec., as this is already expensive for the current price, so the big hopping miners don't dare to mine and keep away).
The problem at the moment is, that big miners switch on to the Moonchain if the difficulty is low, so the next three to ten blocks are found within a minute or two. Then the algo raises the difficulty to adjust the block time back to 90 seconds on average. As soon as the big miner (farm) realizes this, they hop to the next coin to take advantage of the low diff on that chain. They run scripts to constantly check, which coin is the cheapest for them to mine at any given time. The much smaller miners with 2-10 MH/sec. or so then have to mine at the high difficulty, until they find the next block and the algo can calculate the next (much lower) difficulty for finding the next block. Finding the next block after the biggies dropped Mooncoin takes a long time now, of course, because the hashrate is much lower. However, just in that moment the script of the biggies has already recognized the dropped difficulty, too and they jump on again. And the game starts over and over again. They will, however, only dedicate just as much hashrate as needed to get some cheap rewards, so it does not matter, if the hashrate is low or high, it is all only relative - for them; they have enough horsepower and the calculation-scripts to drive Mooncoin crazy with this, even with the improved DigiShield which is already faster than the previously used KGW. They just calculate the right amount to mine as cheap as possible and off they are until it's cheap (for them) again. That is what we can see at the moment. This would only end, if Mooncoin gets in to Litecoin-spheres, with hashrates so high. that no one of those biggies is relevant anymore and the hashrate is nearly constant over long periods of time, because joining and leaving miners of any size nearly don't matter. That is exactly why we need to think PoW over and switch to PoS - or at least change the algo to something that prevents ASICs from distrubing MOONs blockchain. There's a reason why so many coins don't use scrypt anymore nowadays or have switched to PoS or a combination of PoW and PoS.

Understood, so until POW/POS or another algo is implemented, is there anything that we could do other than over pay for mining to keep constant movement? As the Moon community grows I'm sure there are some temporary options right?

At the moment there are three options:

1. Buy MOON to drive the price up, so that many, many more miners will start to mine MOON, as it gets profitable for them
2. Rent hashing-power (scrypt) at www.nicehash.com or www.miningrigrentals.com and point this to a Mooncoin-pool
3. If you are a miner and believe in the future of Mooncoin, point your miner to one of the pools, even if it may not be your most profitable target-coin and keep the coins, until the price has risen drastically and one can profit from that

Thanks for the detailed reply.
So if I interpret the information correctly, the hashrate that jumps in and out is about 50 - 100 times the dedicated hashrate that is pointed to mooncoin? Is there any infomation about hashrate distribution or graphs of the hashrate of the last weeks?

There is a graph at https://bchain.info/MOON
But it is outdated/stalled. Maybe someone could contact the owner of that bchain.info to have it checked, as the rest of that Mooncoin-page works.

If you want to see the difficulty as numbers, you could also check https://moonchain.net/chain/Mooncoin
There you can see the diff for any single block in the table and follow the "waves" of rising difficulty, stalling, long time no block and after finding another one with lower diff, then the falling diff, until from a point it rises fast again and again stalls (~100 +),

I rent 2.50M to test for 24 hrs

moonrush.org seems to be a NOMP-pool, so it depends on how the payment processing was set:

https://github.com/zone117x/node-open-mining-portal#2-configuration

Excerpt:
Code:
 "paymentProcessing": {
        "enabled": true,

        /* Every this many seconds get submitted blocks from redis, use daemon RPC to check
           their confirmation status, if confirmed then get shares from redis that contributed
           to block and send out payments. */
        "paymentInterval": 30,

        /* Minimum number of coins that a miner must earn before sending payment. Typically,
           a higher minimum means less transactions fees (you profit more) but miners see
           payments less frequently (they dislike). Opposite for a lower minimum payment. */
        "minimumPayment": 0.01,

        /* This daemon is used to send out payments. It MUST be for the daemon that owns the
           configured 'address' that receives the block rewards, otherwise the daemon will not
           be able to confirm blocks or send out payments. */
        "daemon": {
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 19332,
            "user": "testuser",
            "password": "testpass"


As the difficulty is higher at the moment, it could also be that the pool did not find a block yet while you were mining there, hence no reward to be distributed to the miners.

Unlike many coins which care about their whales (with a huge PoS percent) or about big miners (huge mining rewards),
MOON defends investors.

That sounds like marketing speech, somehow.
MOON does not defend investors any more than any other coin.
Anyone can buy large quantities and sell them to push the price down. Anybody can throw big quantities from the past into the market now. Nobody keeps them from doing that. Now, how does Mooncoin exactly defend investors? Imagine a veteran crypto-user (alternatively veteran crypto-investor), no newbie, to explain it to.

PoS is rewarding everyone, according to their share. At least everyone has the same chance to get coins for their stake at any given time. With PoW this is reserved to big miners ONLY, if the difficulty is high and with PoW additionally comes the problem of the spikes and a stuck blockchain when the big miners leave. This keeps new investors from buying in, because if they cannot rely on the offered block time, they cannot be safe, that their coins arrive on time at the target address (maybe an exchange where they want to sell MOON at a good price). This is exactly the problem, bitcoin has at the moment, but bitcoin is the first and best known crypto (which is its bonus), while MOON is not. With PoW small users without knowledge about and time for getting into mining can only buy on exchanges and wait what happens. Why not help to secure the chain with their wallet, even if the stake is only small.

MOON in its current state cannot be mined rationally with small equipment (CPU) anymore. Even with ASICs it can only be done at a loss if you don't own a big mining farm with cheap running costs in China, like it is with bitcoin. Nobody will buy a rig only to mine MOON and someone trying to mine MOON with a CPU will turn away soon, if they recognize that they only get 10 or 20 MOON a day, and only IF they found a share at all. But everybody can download a wallet and buy coins from an exchange. So even technological not so savvy users can help secure the blockchain and find blocks. Check out a coin like Stratis, it works really well with PoS and it is seen as the future (better than Ethereum) by many with its concept. Ethereum will change from PoW to another system (most probably PoS) in the future, too. PoW has immanent faults and the danger of centralization, as we can see best with bitcoin. This will be the case for every coin, that gets that big, Mooncoin included. So better take measures against that now than later.

The problem of early stakers having the most coins to stake from is the same with a proof of work coin. Those who were early on the playing field could mine with very low mining costs also (just see the rewards in the early days of Mooncoin), as is the case for only buying coins in the beginning at a low price to get a big stake (PoS) early. So the starting position for any new Moonie at any given time is the same for both variants: high price == high difficulty and low price == low difficulty (but even the lowest difficulty now will not let the average user (with only a CPU) get in at a rational rate). The advantage of PoS over PoW is that for PoS you don't need to invest into mining equipment before you can earn something and don't need the technological knowledge which prevents most of the average users from securing the blockchain.

But aside from PoS I have suggested/described other methods.
Think of Proof of Human Work: People in poorer countries could make their living by working for Mooncoin. They get tasks and solve them. They secure the blockchain. All other Moonies profit from their work and can share their wealth to them. Let people do the work, not machines. Win-Win for everyone. Now THAT would be a real story worth telling.

INT(19697202017/(INT(nHeight/100000)*100000))

e.g.
Blocks 1,100,000-1,199,999 Reward: 17906
Blocks 1,200,000-1,299,999 Reward: 16414
Blocks 1,300,000-1,399,999 Reward: 15151
Blocks 1,400,000-1,499,999 Reward: 14069

Why 19697202017?

The first lunar landing was performed at the
Sea of Tranquility at 20:17:40 UTC on July 20, 1969.

That needs too much explanation to be a real good story.

As for MoonWord and SmartLikes: many of the people in this thread and the old one have not even understood what the concept of this is. --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle

Who needs SmartLikes? If someone has found a thing that he wants to reward someone else for, he better can send MOON directly to that person, use flattr or the such, instead of typing UNIX-like commands into a website, manually connect this with a record that he has to make on another website in order to get paid for this finding if another one likes his like, but he only gets MoonLite and then afterwards has to change this into Mooncoin (and finally USD etc.) ... come on, seriously?

Due to the reduced supply and reduced payout per block I will see those 1 sats walls eaten in the coming weeks.
This is good news as this might initiate a rally mooncoin can back to the moon and break new highs. Not much new money inflow is needed to rally a coin with such a tiny market cap.
What was the alltime high on cryptsy? I believe it was somehting like 35 sats?

According to Coinmarketcap 31 sats.

The reduced supply plays no real role for the Mooncoin economics. I mentioned that earlier. With the already circulating supply it is close to irrelevant, if a reward of 29531 or 17906 per block is paid, It is only a marketing-gag or a cosmetic change at best. It only makes a real difference, once one MOON is worth a lot(!) more than now. At the moment it is rather counter-productive to pay less to the miners, because MOON still needs more of them and they need to be paid rather better than poorer, to be attracted. But now it was changed, so be it like that and MOON has to live with it, even if the story does not tell so nice anymore (29531 as the last fixed amount was originally designed/conceived by deaconboogie, because the Moon requires 29.531 days to circle round the Earth).

So to get the story right again and have a real reduction, maybe one should set 29.5 MOON as the new greatly reduced reward in the future ...
Maybe we could set that with a new wallet, that has Proof of Stake and/or CPU-mining with a a special Algorithm (Groestl or so?) to enable all wallet-owners to participate in mining and stabilize the chain more, than it is now. Hence block-finding times of ~90 sec. as conceived being the regular not the exemption. I have already suggested conceiving a wallet/code/algo a long time ago, that can only mine on a real CPU-based desktop-computer or server, not on ASICs or GPUs at all (funny, that even the BTC-community is thinking about this now to fight the ever increasing centralization of miners/mining-pools ...). Maybe a code-based hardware-check could help determine? Another idea was to give the user a task to solve (like a captcha): this could then be called "Proof of Human Work". A design like that would also help protecting the environment by reducing pollution that comes from using power from non-sustainable/-renewable sources. More and more people choose coins based on this criterion. Food for thought for the developer(s)...

The problem for the price at the moment is not so much the BTC-walls, but the people who constantly repeat placing sell orders at bleutrade and Novaexchange in the sub-satoshi-markets. This prevents MOON from going higher than 1 sat in the BTC-markets (i.e. as soon as the price starts going higher in the DOGE and LTC-markets, experienced traders would start doing arbitrage (buying BTC-based Mooncoins in order to sell at the higher priced DOGE and LTC-markets)). This normally works fast and nice; and even more so, if possible on the same exchange. So: who are these people placing the walls in the sub-Satoshi-markets? Could be they are placing them in order to scoop up other coins below the walls even cheaper. Then the answer is buying up all the sub-Satoshi-walls as soon as they appear, until they have no more MOON left to place more buy walls and let their plan not succeed.  Tongue

Does anyone understand why coins like Earthcoin or Reddcoin are booming in price, while MOON is still not back in Satoshi-land? That's nothing but crazy.  Huh

Maybe we should reset MOON to the old thread (just see the EAC-thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=379236.0 ), too (OK, irony ...  Wink ). But maybe MoonLite, SmartLikes and MoonWord are just too complicated or simply not really useful for the average user and one should come back to concentrate on developing the coin as such (PoS and/or CPU-Mining from the wallet directly etc.) instead of wasting development-power ...

That might be not popular here (especially not with Mooncoin_Foundation), but the question needs to be asked. Really.

Check out, what DOGE has done recently: http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dogecoin/

MOON has ca. twice the number of coins as DOGE in use at the moment, with only little inflation to come and a limited supply of ~384 bln coins, whereas DOGE has no limit ( see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogecoin#Currency_supply ). So for MOON at least half of the DOGE-value should easily be possible. --> 0.0012 USD (~58 Satoshi) per MOON: equalling 255 mln USD marketcap.  Smiley

What do I put in cpuminer .bat file to mine?  I'd like to help the blockchain.
It says basic example

$ ./minerd --url=http://myminingpool.com:9332 --userpass=my.worker:password

Can someone give me an example of what they use?

I'm using this miner https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55038.0

Thanks ! Grin

You won't have much luck with solo-mining, because of the high difficulty. Better to use a pool.

Have you tried P2Pool? http://5.45.105.66:9664/static/

Example-config to point minerd to it:
minerd -a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://5.45.105.66:9664 -u walletaddress

You don't need to register on a P2Pool-node. Simply start minerd with the above line and your miner should appear in the list of miners (Tab "Active miners on this node"). As soon as the next block is found, the shares will start to be sent to your given address automatically. But remember. The shares will be lower at the beginning and ramp up over time, as is the case with every other pool using PPLNS --> https://litecoin.info/Mining_Pool_Comparison#Reward_types

moonrush.org should mostly work likewise, since it does not need a registration either, as a NOMP-based pool (at least it looks like one --> https://github.com/zone117x/node-open-mining-portal ).

Edit:
The advantage of P2Pool over all other pool-concepts however is, that mining rewards are NEVER saved in a wallet on the server or sent to an intermediary wallet to be sent out from there later on. The shares are sent to all participating miners in the very moment, the block is found and confirmed by the network.

Does anyone happen to know what is causing Mooncoind to be so CPU hungry on Ubuntu? I remember the old version having similar problems a few years ago. It keeps spiking above 50% or higher, already tried setting stuff like maxconnections to 10 but nothing seems to help. I have other daemons running that stay well below 1% CPU load. I had it running for several hours and it's fully synced.


I've just checked a node and it runs with well under 1% CPU with ~20 connections. With ~35 connections it gets up to 5% with occasional spikes to 7, more seldom 10%. But on a very small CPU (Atom-like).

Maybe there's a difference, if compiled like you did (via QT)?
Could you try this and report back:

cd src
./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-wallet (if the wallet-functionality is not needed, for example on a P2Pool-node, or maybe NOMP also?)
make -f Makefile USE_UPNP=- USE_IPV6=- USE_QRCODE=-

(The options only to your liking, but for me it works well like above. Of course for a conventional pool or a normal user-wallet you would NOT use option --disable-wallet)

Awesome that is great to hear it's a collaboration. I do not know who is running the mooncoin subreddit, but it's okay I think it will pick up on it's own.  Thanks for responding so quickly, you guys seem hard at work, it's worth it!

Check the Terms of reddit first. As far as I remember, one can overtake an old subreddit, if it has not been worked on by the original subredditor for a certain time. That would better in terms of that the old subreddit is known on the web (links, search engines, coinmarketcap etc.).

Maybe join forces with Evangelo (as a second admin for the subreddit) to coordinate the PR-work?

Edit:

If you are interested in an abandoned community, ask to become that community's moderator by posting in r/redditrequest.

As an addendum/answer to your above question in bold: it was run by deaconboogie (original dev) himself (with the help of other moderators, if I remember correctly). So it should easily be able to get it handed over to a new mod, as he isn't active since long ago, which should classify the subreddit as "abandoned". deaconboogie not appearing again was the main reason, why it was not easy to get MOON back on track, since everyone first was hoping for him to come back for a long time. But unfortunately he didn't, so Mooncoin had to be reformed, which seems to come to fruition more and more with every day passing.

Awesome that is great to hear it's a collaboration.  I do not know who is running the mooncoin subreddit, but it's okay I think it will pick up on it's own.  Thanks for responding so quickly, you guys seem hard at work, it's worth it!

Check the Terms of reddit first. As far as I remember, one can overtake an old subreddit, if it has not been worked on by the original subredditor for a certain time. That would better in terms of that the old subreddit is known on the web (links, search engines, coinmarketcap etc.).

Maybe join forces with Evangelo (as a second admin for the subreddit) to coordinate the PR-work?

Bleutrade-price MOON/DOGE equals MOON/BTC now in Dollar - see here: http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/mooncoin/#markets (in the table: price in dollar)

So only on Novaexchange there are cheap coins left at the moment (sub-Satoshi-price).

Edit: Not to say that 1 Satoshi isn't cheap still. But keep an eye on that table, so you can buy for the best price, if you intend to acquire MOON.

Nice breakout with a fine green candle on bleutrade: https://bleutrade.com/exchange/MOON/DOGE

Agree with you here coinflow - rewards are somewhat too low know I guess unless the recent price rise will compensate miners enough to keep rigs pointed to Mooncoin. And any further rise gives extra security.

Will the 1 sat walls be eaten? This is yet to been seen. Some nice spikes up to 100 litoshis on the Moon LTC pair on bluetrade last night.

I'm not sure, whether the rewards are really "too low". Has someone calculated that exactly for the actual rate? In the past Mooncoin oftentimes was one of the most profitable coins to mine, even though (or maybe just because of ...) selling in the LTC or DOGE-market.

Edit: Unfortunately www.whattomine.com removed Mooncoin after MOON was removed from Cryptopia, since there is no MOON/LTC-market left, that whattomine supports (They don't use NovaExchange at the moment to get the rates). So we cannot find out the profitability as easy as it was then.

Regarding the walls at 1 sat and above, I agree to Mooncoin_Foundation. They will be eaten away as soon as Mooncoin will go above 1 Satoshi in the other markets (MOON/LTC, MOON/DOGE) and/or be listed on the big exchanges (Bittrex and Poloniex). Most probably there will be a boom in price and MOON could find its way back to be side by side with DOGE in terms of marketcap, maybe? Like it was "in the good old days" (just see the graphs on http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/mooncoin - MOON and DOGE were close rivals in terms of marketcap ) ...

So holding Mooncoin is not the worst idea. And while it is still cheap, even buying only a small quantity could be very rewarding. Think of the price only going from 1 sat to 2 sat: that's a doubling of your investment's value. Keep in mind, that many of the new investors pouring into Crypto on a steadily growing daily basis have never even heard about MOON and many of them will just buy occasionally, when it appears on the big exchanges. To diversify their portfolio and reduce risks thereby, or to simply have another chance for a good investment.
Edit: Let alone many of the crypto-veterans, noticing MOON being back and remembering the good old times, when MOON was in the top ten of marketcap and one of the most sought-after cryptocurrencies of the world ...

Noteworthy is that 11.9 BTC of moons was bought in a single order yesterday on Bluetrade.

I noticed there are gaps of long periods of time sometimes between found blocks. Is this just the block explorers or is this actually the case? What can be done to resolve this?
A good thing though that pauses between blocks lead to lower inflation,
only 3-5 million MOON are produced per day currently by all miners combined.

Not really a good thing. It only delays the arrival on the exchanges. First rule for crypto (edit: and other markets like Forex etc. of course): you can't beat the market. The coins that have to be sold, will be sold sooner or later anyway. Better have a constant flow of coins, than stop and go in the blockchain, so that people cannot rely on the fast block times of Mooncoin, which is still the main advantage over many other coins like BTC and LTC. No need for Segwit, sidechannels and the like, if the block times are fast enough. Wink  (Take this with a grain of salt, of course.)

See this: http://www.coindesk.com/lower-bitcoin-block-time-scale/

So if enough miners constantly support Mooncoin, it delivers fast transactions (90 sec. block time on average). But don't worry too much: a rising price will attract more and more miners, so it will be only a matter of time until Mooncoin has stable block times again.

To resolve this, we need more miners that consistently keep mining MOON, in order to even out difficulty-spikes that occur, when bigger miners switch to mine MOON and after the difficulty went up, leave to mine something else.
The problem was minimized by introducing DigiShield into the Mooncoin-code (it helps to get the difficulty down faster than the previously used Kimoto Gravity Well), but as we can see, it does not solve it completely - at least at the moment with a fluctuating hashrate.

So why not rent a Scrypt-rig (for example on https://www.miningrigrentals.com or https://www.nicehash.com) and point the miner to one of the pools:

http://moonrush.org
http://aikapool.com
http://multipool.us
https://hash-to-coins.com
http://5.45.105.66:9664 (P2Pool-node)
http://mining.securepayment.cc
www.mining-dutch.nl

I noticed there's no makefile.unix in the src any longer to compile mooncoind, is there a way to run a QT version from the commandline in Ubuntu ?


Have you tried makefile without the *.unix-extension?
In https://github.com/mooncoindev/mooncoin/tree/master/src there is a Makefile

Just gave that a try, doesn't work unfortunately.

Found the answer, just compiled using QT4 and used configure --without-gui, that gave me the Mooncoind I needed  Grin It's syncing now so I can add MOON to my pool soon.

Did not work?
See here: https://github.com/mooncoindev/mooncoin/issues/2

./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-wallet (if the wallet is not needed, for example on a P2Pool-node)
make -f Makefile USE_UPNP=- USE_IPV6=- USE_QRCODE=-

Worked for me on several Debian-/Ubuntu-instances.

James (Barrysty1e) should add an instruction to the new GitHub-repository on how to compile correctly, like it can be seen in the old reps:
https://github.com/mooncoin-project/mooncoin-landann (gjhiggins)
https://github.com/realmooncoin/mooncoin (deaconboogie - the original dev)
(scroll down to "How to build Mooncoin")

James? Please add that to the new repository's first page. Thanks.

What to keep in mind is, that he changed the original folder structure */mooncoin/* to */Mooncoin/* (capital M).
So folder .mooncoin is now .Mooncoin on a Linux-system, for example. That complicates it a little bit, because you need to mv something, but is no big deal, if you know it.

See this also on how the P2Pool-thingy cleared up finally, in order to get the full picture: https://github.com/mooncoindev/mooncoin/issues/3

You probably missed my last line, I got it running  Grin

Did not miss it, but it seemed like you found another way to make it run. If so, would you mind to post the exact steps, so others can follow them, if needed? That would be great.
