Not receiving any incoming connections with the new wallet  Huh

I'm sure the port is the same. Have 4200 open both ways. Its been sitting at 8 outgoing connections for over a week. I can see that the incoming firewall rule has been hit 6 times...maybe people just don't like me and leave  Tongue


Have you created a potcoin.conf file with the following nodes to your Roaming folder?
...
If you need help on how to do this, just ask.

Yes, I have that exact same list of nodes. Still no incoming connections. The windows client is accepting incoming connections. I am using it on Ubuntu compiled from github. Thanks for trying to help.

Was reviewing the code and came across this one part:

https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/blob/master/p2pool/data.py#L152

Question: Why limit it to "50 kB of new txns/share"?


i even contacted you about that bug months ago Wink was asking forrestv about it, but he didnt respond. created a hackish fix in my repo.

Hehehe, I wasn't in a right "state of mind" back then...still questionable now. Wink

I see that you increased it to 500 kB in your fork and imagine it was the solution to mining those "stuck" ANC transactions.

Like zvs said...probably done to avoid an orphan due to block size.

Careful with some of those supposed 110 Mh/s A2's. Bought one off ebay for a decent price but it is only the 90 Mh/s version  Sad

You would open a dispute if they sent you a 90.  The 110 came later on so I doubt many would try to trick people with a 90.   

Some of the A2's did slow down some after long use, so might ask of screenshot of it mining before buying.

They shipped it with Emdje's image claiming it could go to "up to" 110 Mh/s. I knew something was fishy from the pictures they used being from different models. Works great at 90 Mh/s though  Roll Eyes

It is the 6 blade version but definitely not the new design innosilicon is currently shipping. I also purchased a brand new A2 from innosilicon and I tried Emdje's latest image on it but it does not work. You can tell innosilicon greatly improved their miners from some of the earlier units.

In case anyone is wondering I am buying these for fun...not looking to ROI. Also with the advent of new algo's (POSv) is mining potentially dead?

The problem is that the difficulty is not spiking fast enough. I would look at some other implementations of difficulty....not sure which coins have a good difficulty algo...perhaps Globalcoin? Also maybe the current algo from potcoin (they are forking to POSv...but not because of the diff algo).

....and I don't think moving away from mining equipment is a bad thing at all...it's actually preferred...and this is coming from someone with a lot invested in mining equipment!

I know this is the wrong forum for this but there is something I have noticed happen with p2pools that go a long time between finding blocks.

After enough blocks are found it eventually syncs back up.
The main problem with this is that the share difficulty stays at the lowest possible rate until it does sync causing p2pool to overload itself when large miners come on.

A not so important side effect is that if you have irc announce on it does not report found blocks until it is back in sync.

If anyone is inclined to look into this I would be forever thankful.

Unless I'm missing something staking wont start for roughly 33 more days. Until then you have to mine or purchase.

xPool.net has been updated to v0.8.7.1.

Roughly 7.590277777777778 days until the hyper halving starts...
Roughly 33.05324074074074 days until POSv kicks in...

....better come mine while you can Smiley

Just been reading up on POSv. Found this whitepaper which seems to explain it: https://www.reddcoin.com/papers/PoSV.pdf

Let me get this strait...once Potcoin switches over to POSv it will no longer be possible to mine blocks using scrypt mining equipment?

Anywhere you can point me to that explains POSv would be appreciated!

Still wondering about this. Once we get to block 975000 does POW totally go away or does it continue with a 3 potcoin per block subsidy?

Code:
97     static const int LAST_POW_BLOCK = 975000 - 1; 
...
1148   if(nHeight > 963200) 
1149     { 
1150         nSubsidy = 3 * COIN;

...asking so I can plan to shut down the pool or keep it running after block 975000.

On a different subject I updated p2pool with the code changes for the hyper subsidy.
Code:
SUBSIDY_FUNC = lambda height: 50*100000000 if height>920000 else 25*100000000 if height>930800 else 12*100000000 if height>941600 else 6*100000000 if height>952400 else 3*100000000 if height>963200 else 420*100000000 >> (height + 1)//280000

https://github.com/CartmanSPC/p2pool/commit/e8ae04606316ed940c5ceefecdecd5197e1d33ee

The xpool.net p2pool node will be switching to the new potcoin wallet daemon as soon as it finishes downloading the blockchain. Miners will notice less than a second delay in their mining.

Disabled at bittrex. Apparently they did not update the wallet yet

Most people have not updated :/




...but they still have time. Block 930800 is the "drop dead" block where the majority of people need to update by. That is when the "hyper halving" starts.

Just noticed... The difficulty algo needs to be looked at/fixed. We have some people playing with the blockchain. I feel this is more important than getting the client code updated to the latest LTC release. Fixing the algo will require a hardfork so it needs to be done carefully with plenty of time (perhaps months) for people to upgrade.

Look at blocks around 769152 to see what im talking about.

I'm waiting for a few informations regarding the 2 chips boards before I can confirm that it'll be a viable miner that's worth manufacturing.
The design isn't fully fixed yet for the voltage regulator. The first board uses a converter with integrated MOSFETs to save some space on board, but the definitive one may use a standard pair of MOSFETs like the old gridseed pods/blades to reduce cost for the end user.

Waiting patiently....  Cool

As our hosting contract ends, we have ~ 30 units of Alchemists for special sale with limited quantity!
They were used for merely a month, look brand new, and are still very robust!
 
-          US $599 per used Alchemist ( + $260 shipping fee)
-          Used for a month
-          Two-month warranty
-          Limited quantity: 30 units only

I pay now. Are you ready?  Undecided

I think that ship has sailed. I too would like to purchase one of those used Alchemists or even a new one if available.

Example:

BTC:
sudo ./minerd -a sha256d -o stratum+tcp://POOL_URL -u USER -p PASSWORD -d /dev/ttyUSBx -f 600

LTC
sudo ./minerd -o stratum+tcp://POOL_URL -u USER -p PASSWORD -d /dev/ttyUSBx -f 600

So just like the original gridseeds you will be running two separate instances of the mining software (one for BTC and one for LTC). Each can be tuned individually. Like J4bberwock said; it shouldn't be long before someone adds support to cgminer.

No one ever managed (AFAIK) to get separate instances of cgminer to run both BTC and LTC at the same time with the original gridseeds. You could only run cgminer for BTC and then had to run cpuminer for LTC when dual mining. Trying to run cgminer with gridseed scrypt support at the same time as cgminer with gridseed sha256 support would not work. The second instance of cgminer would see the port as already in use (I think...it's been a while).

One instance of cgminer utilizing both SHA256 and scrypt would be ideal but something tells me we wont see that unless Sfards changed the way the miners are accessed. There was some talk of it being worked on by third parties (with the original gridseeds) but nothing came of it.

Quote from: akashamar on June 30, 2015, 08:15:52 PM
Huh, hopefully they will implement driver into cgminer and bfgminer as soon as possible since the original minerd is a rather ancient piece of software ...
I wouldn't count on it. They will most likely only release what is already available and count on others to fill in the gaps like they did with the original gridseeds.
