This is probably the dumbest answer but get a small UPS. Power outages are quite frequent where I live but after getting an UPS I have to say that it's one of the best investments I've ever made (others being SSDs and 144hz monitor).

At the moment my PC is running non stop for 51 days now which was impossible before.

Yeah, consequently masternode count jumped from 196 to 270. Which means 34% of the availably supply is held up in masternodes. We'll probably reach 50% in a week.

I'm not a coder by any means, I just know how the difficulty of this coin behaves and looking at the code those things stood out to me.

I'm glad to see some discussion from people who actually know what they are doing.


Nice, thanks! Sign me up for testing it and if it works we should pretty much just set a block for the changes to go live and contact people/pools/exchanges/etc before then to make the upgrade.



I'm also glad Paul came back to clear the air.

I can only agree with you. Mining profits will probably trickle down in a few weeks/months so it's advised that before people start breaking their banks and stocking up on GPUs to consider what they will do in case the profits go down.

Loaded question is loaded.

At least it's not ICO/premine/X11.

Any ballpark ETA on the launch time?

I CBA to find the source but I read that while it's possible it's very unlikely. You basically have to bet against the whole network for it to happen.

Staking and mining are both minting methods but staking is not mining.

ICO for what? English lessons?

I'd be a dollar millionaire and probably start my day getting wasted. But then again I'm not delusional and I know it will never get that high. I'd be quite happy if it would beat DOGE's price in a few months which is somewhat likely though.

My strategy is to avoid any and all PoS coins. I believe PoS is based on a fallacy; it requires zero investments other then just having to own some coins and everyone staking gains coins at the exact same rate as everyone else so if everyone gains coins at the same rate then nobody really gains anything. Why would you lock up your money in any coin for 5-10-20-50 or whatever percent when crypto can and does change much more in a single day? It's a pointless excercise in crypto and it's worse than gambling.  PoS only coins are a complete joke where "investors" are trading coins with absolutely arbitrary price between each other. While mining has plenty of issues at least it gives coins security and a floor price because it actually cost something to produce each coins unlike worthless PoS coins with completely made up value.

CPU mining is dead for a very long time now.

If you want to CPU mine Eth, you're better be prepared to wait roughly 5 months (on average) to find a single block with 1 Mh/s (= i7 5820K).

Not anymore you don't, net hashrate jumped to 9 Gh/s and counting. I'm out. I have 15k from 53 blocks compared to the dev's 50 mil. I'm not even sure why I even bothered.

Average block reward is 275 PAYP which means 13.75 million coins will be mined in 50k blocks.

Meanwhile the dev has 50 million PAYP premined.

Other than the unicode spam in the title, everything looks great, the wallet, the website, the block explorer that 50mil premine turns this coin into bullshit.

Relaunch without premine imo, otherwise it's a waste.

It doesn't matter. You just have to use the same (unused) port for both the conf and your miner.

Hahh, this might have worked in 2014.

Yes, that's why I added public. I'm not a big fan of X11, never was and I'm pretty sure it was mined by ASIC/FGPA/whatever that beats GPUs with average electricity by a significant margin for a very long time.
Or it might have been just massive farms with very cheap electricity. If that was the case it will be interesting to see what they are going to mine next.

ROI looks tempting, too tempting in fact so I'm guessing a bunch of these will pop up soon. And then there's shipping delays.

Get someone who unlike me actually knows what he's doing to confirm;

Convince/pay said someone to help create a fork with the proposition of changing the difficutly retarget at block X;

Compile wallets and distribute them before we hit block X.

X11 on GPUs is done for, first public ASIC is here:

384 Mh/s for 715 watts. That's 11 times more efficient than Maxwell.
