Don't say that, now maybe they won't give up and leave all the blocks to us!  -MarkM- |

Oh good, siblings, maybe two chains combining their hashing power by merged mining actually will turn out to be more heavyweight than many/most of the "lets divide the hashing power yet again to make it even easier for attackers to do nasty things" coins.

'Mining' at 5,000 primes/sec, any calculators to estimate average time to find a block?
It doesn't directly relate. One machine, say a laptop maybe, could go seemingly forever without finding any blocks way back when this thing started, while showing larger PPS than other machines, not laptops, that did fine. Its not so much how many primes you line up to work with maybe as whether you can actually work with them well once you do have them lined up and counted? People cited way back when various changes they made that could make PPS skyrocket while making the chance of actually finding a block drop drastically. So maybe on some systems you'd actually want to lower your PPS in order to increase the chance of finding a block. Its a poor indicator. Thats why other indicators were added to the debug.log in the performance version/fork/branch, so people can try to research whether any of those might be maybe at least a little more related to the chance of finding a block. I think maybe the best mining calculator would be to look at the top profitable coins on those find the most profitable coin websites and plug us in at number four or worse so everyone who is really into predictions will run off to one or more of the top three. That might help those of us still here a lot! -MarkM- |

By exchange do you mean the official list of shitcoins, aka the shitcoin exchange?
When I made UKB, CDN, MBC, GMC, GRF, NKL, UNS etc I routinely added each new one to my IRC-bot that acted as online wallet and exchange so they could all be exchanged with each other as well as with bitcoins, so I guess trying to have the coin and an exchange for it launch pretty much at the same time was pretty normal back then, albeit the exchange in those cases was IRC-based not web-based.

Hi I've got that error when I want to open this client. any Ideas? Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Program:c:\ne\primecoin-qt.exe
File src/main.cpp
Line 2800
Expression: block.CheckBlock(state, true , true)
For information on how yoiur program can cause an assertion failure, se the Visual C++ documentation on asserts Do you rescan when you start the client, in case it didn't shut down cleanly last time it shut down? if not, is there any chance that at any time since last you did rescan it might not have shut down cleanly? If even with rescan it asserts, maybe the database needs a database fixer of some kind run on it? (Which might for windows users normally devolve into "delete the chain and download it from scratch"...?) -MarkM- |

Would've been faster to spend it on Primecoins before primecoins blew up, oh well, hindsight. Or is it not too late even yet?
-MarkM-

Well there was once, remember? $20 for 440,400,000 coins, bundled up into the form of a client?  Or something like that. A nice compact form, expand it into an entire blockchain over time as you want/need coins. -MarkM- |

I hope not. I really am hoping LTC gets hosted so I can make some MONIES!
Oh the irony. Or are not making any litecoins? Or are you not opening businesses that accept litecoins? Or do I have it the wrong way round, and what you mean is you need Gox to be able to sell you litecoins because you cannot buy them elsewhere maybe due to not trusting other suppliers of them? -MarkM- |

Yeah its definitely time for everyone but me to stop mining, it is getting way too hard.
-MarkM-

Just wondering, is Lolcust even still around?
#Tenebrix on Freenode IRC. -MarkM- |

|

The number of people who can't wait to dump when LTC hits Gox is going to be very bad for the currency.
Huh? How can that be? Surely they aren't going to wait for it to hit Gox only to then go ahead and dump it cheaper than they could sell it right now on existing exchanges? So what is the imagined potential problem? -MarkM- |

Does anyone have a clone of the repo? Github has taken it down for excessive use of resources.
Yeah the people who provided links to such repos right here in this thread do, or are theirs down too now? -MarkM- |

I know that I can mining on wallet but I'm looking for something faster for win 32
Again, it's around these forums. Look for mikaelh. Huh, isn't that what this thread itself is about? (I guess if I read the first post of the thread I'd know that, but I haven't in so long and these questions really have me wondering now...) If the objective is an external mining program, then there might be bounties one can contribute to that aim at getting such a thing built, though maybe mostly they want it to be able to use GPUs. There is the luke's miner prime branch project too though which maybe hasn't even had bounties thrown at it yet... -MarkM- |

There is another interesting thing with the forum bounty. While it can be done, running a mail server can be a real pain. You have people consonantly probing it that want to use it as a relay. You have people that want to know why mail from misconfigured servers does not get to them, or to the person behind the bad server. You have ongoing server and support costs. I would have done the bounty if the issue of where and how to host it was also solved or supported in some way.
Maybe a job for google's "mail for your own domain" service? -MarkM- |

This is awesome, brilliant! Getting the users/supporters of the coin to admit it is a shitcoin and clamour to have it added to the official list of shitcoins, Tom Sawyer (as in whitewash the fence) would be so proud of you! Or heck maybe Mark Twain would!

a currency with no coins. It might be revolutionary.
I strongly suspect that is exactly what the OP plans to develop. While, of course, looking around to see if anyone is actually doing any of the things he or she is blathering about but has no intention of actually getting to work and doing... Actually maybe no currency either. -MarkM- |

I don't use config files. I had to have one of course for the old multicoin-based version, and thus had to until today for Fairbrix, but Tenebrix is just like normal bitcoin or litecoin based coins, no need for any config file at all. tenebrixstart.sh #!/bin/bash
TENEBRIXD=/usr/local/bin/tenebrixd
DATADIR=$HOME/.tenebrix
$TENEBRIXD -datadir=$DATADIR -rescan \
-rpcuser=whoever -rpcpassword=therpcpassword \
-gen=0 -daemon -rpcport=8697
(Addnodes of course one would also add if one happens to have any.) tenebrixd.sh #!/bin/bash
TENEBRIXD=/usr/local/bin/tenebrixd
if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
echo "Syntax: tenebrixd.sh COMMAND"
exit
fi
$TENEBRIXD -rpcuser=whoever -rpcpassword=therpcpassword \
-rpcport=8697 "$@"

Where is the mining program running? Is it connecting to 127.0.0.0 aka localhost? If not maybe firewall isn't letting it connect, or its IP address is not on the rcpallowip list, yet for some reason its claiming internal sever error (500) instead of unable to connect?
Or does 500 mean it must have connected and the RPC server itself is telling it that it got an internal server error (500) ?
What error does it give when username or password for RPC is incorrect?
-MarkM-
It's connecting, because I have no firewall inside the network. 401 if the password is incorrect, 500 if they're correct. EDIT: By the way, are you getting connections, Mark? Yeah i don't have eight connections though, only seeing 7 right now, and that is from a machine that has incoming port open. Maybe who-ever is blasting it with hashing, likely from one or more GPUs, will get enough coins to fell like investing in a stable node that people can put in -addnode or even that can be coded into the DNSseed and fallback IPs. Maybe they are just trying to drive difficulty way high and abandon it though due to being against the idea of having some coins that are nice havens for CPU miners or something though. -MarkM- |

Oh the -mt we add to boost libs in some distros of linux might stand for multithreaded. I think our mining in devcoin-qt crashed on linux too though not just on windows. Unless maybe unthinkingbit uses Windows I'm not sure we would even have noticed if it didn't work on windows until someone built a Windows binary, whereupon we'd likely have been like well you do windows, you figure it out.  -MarkM- |

Yeah now you mention it, maybe we used something other than curl first, that was not thread-safe, then noticed curl was listed as thread-safe so switched to curl despite that adding a new dependency, then still found the damn thing wouldn't mine. Thanks for the link I will go look at that maybe we can get mining working. though if they fixed it then once the "mergecoin" repo (bitcoin with ONLY merged mining as secondary chain added) is ready all the merged coins can inherit the fix along with gosh knows how many other fixes the bitcoin devs have been doing while all the kiddies squabbled in the altcoin playpen all this time... -MarkM- |
