my wallet is showing an estimated 70,002 blocks, however after 3 days and several attempts, my wallet still has not tried to sync in any way. Still showing 13 weeks behind at 13,806... no change, PLEASE HELP with this. I am using win 32 downloads as that is all that will work. I have tried to start with the .86 software and progress, but that has not worked either.
are you using v0.9.1 binaries? how many active connections to the network do you have? I'll test a clean install in win32 to see if there are any problems... win32 is slow, but it works. In less than 1 hour it processed blocks 0 to 15000 and it's still going... please check that you have no firewall issues. |

Unfortunately, currently it is dominated by bots.
:[/b] Previously proof-of-thought was used instead of proof-of-play.
wtf? it was obvious this would happen You should put it as an advantage, not as something unfortunate: it's the coin that rewards AI research! ( better playing bots-> more reward ) -> the coin encourages designing of better bots I didn't have time to read the difficulty adjustment discussion, however you should take this into account instead of trying to do something that favors humans or somehow attempts to limit bots. (why? because you will fail - bots won at chess, like, 17 years ago. Humans may still win at Arimaa, but that's in a full game, not in something that should be done in 60 seconds and verified quickly). |

update: I'm working on a new client v0.9.2 nothing to worry about for the moment, but there is a new vulnerability in openssl http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txtall coins that use openssl 1.0.1 prior to 1.0.1h may be vulnerable, just remember you saw it here first! |

Hey people
me again
i rebuild my sytem in an new case and now running the system on an ssd. So i wonder, why i get twice the sharerate than before, still same cpu, same parameters?
good evening
same RAM? RAM memory speed plays a crucial role same OS? a 64 bit OS will perform much better than a 32 bit one are you runing other apps or just minning? in case of high temp some CPUs throttle themselves down in order to limit heat, so maybe your new case is better and the old one was not dissipating heat fast enough |

I applaud all efforts of Garta and development of Riecoin. As a developer myself this is one of the few threads I regularly read and one of the few coins I follow and believe to have serious long term life. My only wish is that mining (solo mining vs. in a pool with closed source software) was at least 'possible' or within reach of an individual. I tried running several large 'droplets' to mine riecoin for 48 hours last week and while I am no expert in configuration I hit not a single block. Still it is easy enough to obtain on Mintpal (or other exchanges I imagine as well) and not very expensive. ideas come easy as pie but doing the grind to make things happen and implement stuff isnt yo
Yup. But Implementation originate from imagination. Gatra did give some input on what is and isn't possible. He is doing the best he can with one person and is continuously looking to improve Riecoin. the pool is closed source, but the miner is open source with a very permissive license - anyone is welcome to take the core I wrote and adapt it for solo mining (or you can use a00k's solo miner) or stratum. I think that with the new b15 design, it might actually be easier to adapt than before, but it depends a little on how the destination codebase manages its threads. I was working on the lines of a stratum/xpt proxy and also on adding an xpt server inside riecoind in order to do solo-mining, but maybe what you say could be implemented sooner, I haven't really looked at the source of b15. Does it run on Linux and Windows? I remember there where problems with some versions of your miner under win. also, I'd like to thank everyone for the support and discussion of ideas that I'm seeing on this thread I didn't know some exchanges were blacklisting tor nodes... what if the coin's network would also work as an onion routing network? |

Also, would it be possible to move Riecoin towards anonymous transaction? o.o
anonymous in darksend style, I'd rather not, as I consider it to be kinda bs. Better just use a mixing service. anonymous in cryptonote/monero style, maybe with a hard fork. It implies some work and I haven't fully understood the whole ring signature whitepaper yet (this means I'm not yet convinced of its security, although it looks solid), but it should be possible... if Riecoin doesn't take off as it should, I'll consider implementing it. edit: anonymous in zerocoin's style: cool, but the implementation doesn't exist yet. Yup. I think a perfect coin would have the anonymity of Zerocoin, community of Dogecoin, scientific improvements like Riecoin, energy efficient like gridcoin, fun like Huntercoin, and useful functions like Datacoin. i like ur idea its a good vision but can we make it happen yo? lets go do it, this will be a good coin I don't think we can implement all of it but some. Of course I'd love to see all of that, but realistically, there are always trade-offs and decisions to be made... here is what I think: community of Dogecoin - I don't know how to achieve this... energy efficient like gridcoin - I don't like gridcoin because it's centralized (on the owners of the BOINC projects), and I believe it's not actually energy efficient, since the power spent on BOINC projects does not actually help securing the blockchain. In this sense Riecoin is better: it's a distributed project for testing a mathematical problem (like those in BOINC) that also serves as a currency, and mining itself is the scientific computation! As a long term project I want to make it fold proteins too. It may not be possible to make the folding BE the securing of the blockchain, but at least it should be possible to do it in a decentralized way, where work verification is done by the nodes of the network and not by an external centralized entity. But this would probably call for a new coin, not RIC itself. fun like Huntercoin - sorry, but Huntercoin is too different to what we're doing here, I don't see how we could make it work together... but hey... prime constellations can be fun too  useful functions like Datacoin - with the inclusion of OP_RETURN in v0.9.1, it's possible to easily store metadata on the blockchain. Only the tools to make it user-friendly would be needed. That's nice, but I don't like it that in Datacoin every node has to store all the data and only the miners get the rewards. People interested in the scientific aspects of Riecoin may not be interested in dedicating a lot of disk space to store other people's junk. I'll try to think of a way to implement this where data is not on the blockchain, so only those who want to can dedicate their storage. And the fees you pay to store data would go to those actually holding your data, not to miners. So if you have storage capacity but not CPU power, you can "rent" your space. This could even work better than datacoin or using OP_RETURN because we wouldn't have the 1MB-per-block size limit: we could store files of any size. You would pay a monthly fee, and nodes that have your data would have to prove they still have it in order to receive the payments. I have a lot of ideas but they require a lot of work. I wish I could dedicate myself to this 100% but I still have to pay my rent! |

Gatra, what's your RIC address?
I haven't been doing enough on the miner in the last month due to other stuff.
You deserve the dev fee from the mining more than I do for this period; I'll ship it over.
thanks! it's in my signature: RByJXMhtRa2Jc2ix6sWoVRZq3kyK3zb8nY |

One feature to set RIC apart could be to avoid the creation of change addresses, and send the change back to the original address. In theory this reduces ECDSA strength, in practice, if this reduction is enough to matter, then ECDSA can be considered broken anyway (if only because exchanges have you reuse the same addresses, and thus are exposed to the same vulnerability, which would completely discredit a crypto). There are nice benefits however: - no need to backup the wallet after every spend, since no new private keys are generated on the fly
- reduced wallet backup security issues because of the above
- reduced address/account cross-contamination, and possibility to have proper accounts in a wallet
The anonymity loss from the lack of change addresses is minimal in practice, the anonymity gain from no longer having change addresses being combined is high (combined change addresses essentially shout to the world that two addresses were part of the same wallet). Also in terms of coin safety, change addresses are probably the simplest way to lose your coins, because if you have 1000 coins at address X, make a backup, then spend 1 coin, your backup is already worthless. The spend will have sent 1 coin to your specified address, and 999 to a new change address, whose private key won't be in your last backup... You can do that with v0.9.1! In the wallet, go to settings->options, and on the "display" tab, check the "Display coin control features (experts only)" checkbox. After doing that, on the "send" dialog you'll see the "coin control features", where you'll have a "Custom change address". There you can set the address you'd like. Maybe I can add a feature that, when enabled, would automatically use the largest input address automatically. This would make it easier to use, but the functionality is already there! |

hi!
I don't have much to add for this week, still working... xpt2stratum is closer.
today I 3d-printed the riecoin logo, and I'm trying to see if it's possibe to make 3d-printed "plastic wallets", but the 3d-printed QR-codes are difficult to scan.
Dfficulty decreased a bit, but looks like it's bouncing. Let's keep it up!

Hi! Linux binaries here: https://mega.co.nz/#!ikAzmRiK!uu6T-ZlA4lE9n5NTmL8U9V0IDdKj8P7wZLlEWEtZxZwI made them with gitian using Ubuntu (lucid), the same way bitcoin 0.8.x was built, so if bitcoin works, then magicoin will work. It's supposed to work on any distro. Inside the tar.gz you'll find the src folder with the sources and bin folder with two subfolders: 32 and 64 for i386 and amd64 respectively. Both folders contain the magicoind daemon and the magicoin-qt wallet executables. cheers! gatra |

5945 - do you even need to touch the keyboard to complete this?  P.S.: block was not mine, just watching some replays We may need to change level generation algorithm to prevent such levels. I'm afraid you can't do that without a (another) hard fork |

= Mac os and linux wallets: 1,000 per wallet Hi! I made 2 linux wallets (32 and 64 bit, magicoind and magicoin-qt). Do I get 2000? where do you want me to upload them? PM me with details and I'll upload it. MWC7Fvh3m7uGkxJtupEy4JQPxcHKioBWLd regards! gatra |

There is special reward for 3 developers of Motocoin - each developer will get 150k motocoins. There will be tens of millions of motocoins so 150k is not very large amount (and some currencies are 100% premined). Also this reward ensures that developers will have strong reason to support Motocoin.
which I guess is ok if it's properly announced from the beginning, in the website and OP My apologies for not properly announcing reward for developers. I said about it in a post before release but didn't add this info to first post. I was just a bit nervous at that moment. As it was announced in forum post before release, so I believe that people who followed this thread at that time saw it and newcomers will see it now. I added info to first post and website. well, if that's the case... I can understand launches can be stressing to any developers' nerves. I like the idea and I love the "integer magic" used for determinism are you planning to get this into an exchange soon? |

Hi! just a small update:
I released osx binaries for the latest 0.9.1 client, I'm waiting for others to confirm that it works before announcing.
I think I mentioned it, but alongside with the stratum proxy I'm working on the math for shares vs blocks for pools. Once that is done, I'll be more active on promotion.
kudos on the ARM miner. Will we be able to include it in an app soon? maybe in the Android wallet?
There's still a lot to do, and 0.9.1 included a lot of new features, maybe it's worth working on how to advertise them... I'll see if I can find good tutorials on coin-control and payment-requests and "adapt" them to riecoin.

Hmm...Why is RIC frozen on poloniex?
I see it online now, maybe they were having temporary technical difficulties |
|

Also Gatra I think you need to edit the title of this thread to include **CPU-ONLY**
done! |
