hi all ...

i am in transition from state to state - about 2500kms between the two points - in order for me to move permanently from adelaide south australia to the gold coast in queensland australia ...

this means i will be offline for a few days at a time until i settle back in to the new premises ...

this should take no more than two weeks and as such - will also mean during the transition - will be a tumultuous time ... hence the lack of communication here ...

but this does not mean things are not progressing with all that is happening in the backend ...

my full time contract currently takes the workday - but in the evenings ( and some weekends ) i am still available here - alongside the dedicated team members that are working towards a strong and united cwi ...

a word of note - currently bleutrade is offline and apparently has been for the last 48hours ...

please trade and continue to trade granite ( grn ) on cryptopia - as we have a growing cryptopian community following ...

https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/?market=GRN_BTC ...

we will see what happens with bleutrade - and will keep you posted ...

hi all ...

we will be looking for more optimized miner for amd shortly - as we will be putting farmamd back on line in the coming months ...

anyone interested in working alongside cwi - especially as an inhouse private dev - let me know ...

this is NOT specifically for amd - but nvidia also ...

im finalizing packing and a full interstate move in the next week - so will be looking at any prospectives in the next two weeks ...

issues seem to be resolved and gb pool back up and running ...

business as usual ...

let us know if there are any issues encountered ...

mine well ...

#crysx

hi all ...

there seems to be an issue with the aws server that has the gb pool ...

contact with aws has been initiated - and we are waiting till they get back to us with a report or a reset of the vps that it sits on ...

we will have the pool up and running as soon as they resolve the issues ...

apologies for the delay ...

some fair ideas there mate ...

but 5grn to 1ozc? ... stop drinking too much mate - its getting to your senses ... hehehe ...

i guess vendors always want something for nothing - but rarely every happens ... and when some actually do - they take it for granted that its free and carelessly abuse the system ... its been proven many times over - that if you actually get to PAY for an item - then you value it more than for free ...

but you do make some very good points - which can be discussed later ... though your secret ideas wont be - of course ...

i have only just closed the lease for a new place here - and moving a few things in for survival for the time being - tomorrow ...

next week - i fly back to adelaide - finish the packing my partner has been doing with the family - then driving the almost 2500km up to qld permanently ... this will start on the 1st september - and we will be back in qld on the 9th ( if the drive goes well ) ... we are moving permanently here - and will be settign up soon ... so in the coming weeks - will be settling a little better also ...

ill never airbnb here again - what a bloody tortutous painful 4weeks it has been ...

its gold coats holiday today and tonight - so no work - but signed lease and got the keys to the place for the next 12months ... fireworks going on outside - which i absolutely adore - but have no time as i want out of the bumhole of a place as soon as i can tomorrow morning to my own PEACEFUL and QUIET and PRIVATE pnew place ... oh the PRIVACY once again ... and the peaceful SLEEP i havent had for four long agonizing weeks ...

have i complained enough about this place yet? ... last night - then never look at it again ... airbnb my ass ...

BUT ... if the gold coast is where you will be later - i dont drink smoke or do any drugs - but ill be happy to share a bottle of coke or v with whatever you are drinking mate ...

cwi has been moving along nicely also - and im hoping that by the end of the year - we will be in full working order - gears in motion ...

ozziecoin has some workings in the mill at the moment - but granite is the flagship for cwi - and is being redeveloped first ... as mentioned - im in two minds yet as to what will happen with ozc - whether work alongside - or assimilated by - granite ... but for the time being - ozc is the experimental project - which will have all the exciting prototype features we want to mess with and use ... so it will be the one that gets the development ( stable ) last - but the first to test ...

thefarm is having a nice time with the stability testing of the new miner also ... very good progress so far ...

being a java based project - it 'should' work well on all java enabled systems - so i will be testing this project on my linux distributions ...

currently - i work on fedora 23 x64 - fedora 24 x64 - centos 7 x64 - scientific linux 6.5 x64 ...

fedora will be the main working os currently - but as a stats tracker - it would be much more preferable to base it on a server system that will be focussed on stats only - which i have already built on centos 7 x64 ...

an api designed for this would be very important in such a case - but is always something that can be looked at later if it is something that you think would be a usable part of the system ...

#crysx

interesting ...

will be keeping an eye on this project ...

#crysx

there will be a stats page on our forthcoming cwi website for mtr - as its one of the coins we have backed / supported for a while now alongside rich ...

support will be maintained as well as the seed nodes - which will be placed in revamped systems very shortly ...

too much on my plate concurrently - so doing things one step at a time ...

#crysx

well said ...

#crysx

o ok ...

so you are saying that the same behavior is shown - even when there is no major hash being intermittently sent to grn and ozc? ...

#crysx

hi thoth ...

as usual - you are full of ideas ... and good ones at that ...

firstly - no we do not have a slack channel ...

slack is a commercialized version of irc - and even though it works well - there had been no real interest in it when we opened the granite one ... so the reluctance to open another channel that will sit there and do nothing ( but still try and maintain it ) was not a favourable thing - especially for me now that im in queensland working more hours than i care to admit and cannot afford the eefort involved in maintaining anothe channel ... but it has been looked at - and may be again in the future IF the devs are in agreement ...

we looked at a number of things along those lines - but it all came down to some cost of some sort ... which is a fair thing - but the cost is usually on the shoulders of cwi and predominantly on my own ...

though your approach is a little better construed - yet i am a little confused about how to attract the vendors in the first place ...

there is some work with an exchange that is happening behind the scenes - but i have said nothing ( until now of course ) about it due to having absolutely no concrete deal with what may be happening with it - and whether it will surface or not ... i DO know that the dev that is building it - is a VERY reliable and honest one and is always true to his word and work ... but there is no definite word on what will happen to its construction or its work - let alone its completion ...

hence why the build of the cwi site - and all its modules ( especially theshop ) are the focus for the time being ... as wll as the flagship project ( granite ) ...

the idea has been toyed with - where we have a swap of ozc for grn - and ozc is assimilated into the cwi ecosystem in that way ... but the idea is only toyed with - and conversations of such things will take place in the cwi thread ...

at cwi - we are still three in 'theteam' ... but we have a few others that have devoted a great deal of time and development to cwi for the betterment of a few modules ... one main one being thefarm ... but more on that also in the cwi thread - and later when i have confirmed all that has been done ...

i may even get a personal mobile number - so that i am personally contactable by the devs worldwide and in australia ... but that again - is an idea and not something i have committed to as yet ...

#crysx

hi desynct,

this was due to the massive hashrate hits that zpool ( mainly ) would push through its stratums at both granite and ozziecoin ...

this in turn drove the diff to record levels - then the hashrtae was moved elsewhere - and it was up to the 'regular' or 'smaller' miners to process the next block at a massive diff with a much smaller hashrate ...

this is NOT the fault of zpool - its just the way zpool works - as does most multicoin pools do ...

when i asked crackfoo / crackers to temporarily remove granite and ozziecoin from the mining list - he did so promptly and professionally - as a professional dev would ...

for the time being - they are still not back onto zpool - and we have been testing ( successfully i might add ) our own mpos pools that you can mine with ...

http://mpos.granitecoin.com/ ... which will all change to http://mpos.chainworksindustries.com/ ( which is NOT open yet - so it will bomb out if you click the link ) when all the components of cwi are finished and ready for public consumption ...

i have still placed the pools in alpha mode - but dont let that put you off as they are more than ready for public mining ... it is just a time factor now to sit down and change everything over to beta as the next stage for the addition of the high diff stratums are implemented for testing on each of the pools ...

alpha - initial testing and lodiff stratum active ...
beta - intensive testing and hidiff stratum active ...
production - full public open ...

for the moment - the only two full production pools that we have is the original granite pool ( http://grn-pool.granitecoin.com/ ) which still has bonuses and rewards for mining built in with no fee - BUT - will be closed very shortly for the official mpos pools on different servers and isp ( in preparation for our 'other' module we have been working on at cwi ) ... and goldblocks pool ( http://goldblocks.granitecoin.com/ ) which the goldblocks dev made the official pool for gb - and has fully functional lodiff and hidiff stratum mining active ...

with the smaller hashrates that granite and ozziecoin have been getting though - to go with a goliath like zpool - will mean that we will have the SAME issues with diff being skyrocketed ... until of course we have gigahashes of miners - then it becomes a very different animal altogether ...

in any case - that was many weeks ago - and the hashrate has settled in and around a few hundred megahashes - so the current diffs that you see for both granite and ozziecoin - should be around what the network is actually doing ...

let us know if you still have these issues ... or any others for that matter ...

#crysx

hehehe - hell no ...

i have a great deal of respect for both you - and the work you put into the community called zpool ...

if i were grammatically incompetent as this guy - i would probably shoot myself in the leg and call it a day ... tho he did try - and i do ( purposely ) misspell words ...

i have nothing to do with either the review page - or the comment ( people call THAT a review? ) that was left ...

besides - i ALWAYS post as chrysophylax ( or chrysophylax69 if i couldnt get the original name ) - and only as crysx here due to the kerfuffle with my original profile 'chrysophylax' ...

soon - all posts will be done through ( and with ) chainworks industries ( cwi ) ... ALL posts ...

no - you have been a good dev and a good pool for the granite and ozziecoin communities - and when i asked for removal due to the high hashrates zpool has ( driving diff skywards ) - you responded with speed and the respect i expected from you as a quality dev ...

if there was a way to track people like this - there would much much MUCH less scam posts - and scam people in this community ...

I am not on here as often as i like now - due to work commitments - but will always check in ...

btw - thefarm STILL uses zpool as a primary pool to mine with ...

#crysx

wow ...

our sister projects evergreencoin ( egc ) is on that level already - and even granite will be on the same level when the development comes time next month to fully recode ...

ill read more on the coin - but i cannot see where the 'big' benefit of the coin is yet ... more reading on it maybe? ...

solar energy is always on the cards for us anyway ...

as for droidz ... well - i still have yet to hear from soopy - and not holding my breath ...

#crysx

HAHAHA ...

i can honestly see we have the same sense of humour - AND - we could actually be friends in real life drays ...

that just made my day ...

seriously ...

i just LURVE grumpycat ...

#crysx

30min is a huge amount of time ...

reduce to a 'bearable' level - and there will be a more active level of users on the coin ...

this means that if we were to transfer ONE coin to ANY wallet ( especially exchanges as mis069 mentioned ) - then it would take a few hours to be able to get the coins traded ...

ill watch ...

#crysx

tanx mate ...

i knew it was something along those lines ...

and btw - i still need the git for compiling the nvidia miner ( and amd miner when i get farmamd back up also ) ...

the compiled versions you have require the same gcc and cuda files that it was originally compiled with ...

i know i have asked a milion times - and sound like im harping ... but until that happens with me - thefarm and farmamd will always mine solo using other miners ...

i would build my own private pool - for friends as well ... and it would not be as secure as yours is - which is why it would be private only ... but i dont know how ...

why not take a percentage for the pool for yourself - and make it easy to compile my own miners? ... the code goes no where else anyway but to thefarm ...

tanx for clarifying again though ...

#crysx

i dont think so with ocminers pool ...

which is the reason you require HIS miners - and not the opensourced ones we used from spmod and others ...

the private i mined at many moons ago - is exactly how that was - which is why it was private ... it was based on a trust level - i trusted the pool owner not to steal my mined coins - and it worked better than average and so much better than solo ... but agreed - with THAT pool - the private key was shared ... which is also why you cant use other miners on ocminers pool ...

im sure oc miner can shed more light on how he made his miner work with stratum pool ...

hi all ...

a note to inform the community that the new granite wallet will be released very shortly ...

testing has conclusively proven that the backend code has been improved and reliable - and will be updated to github very soon ...

they are mainly technical changes - and mainly to prepare the codebase for a complete change ...

the windows and osx wallets will be prepared soon - and the links will be posted here when they are ready ...

the major change in this wallet version is the location of the wallet files - as the codebase has been changed to the standard naming convention .of 'granite' and lowercase ...

which also means that the wallet location will change from .GraniteCoin to .granite ...

this will be an easy conversion - and steps to do so will accompany the release of the wallet ... as will details of the other changes to this version of granite ...

the release will happen within the next week ...

and LOTS more coming in the near future ... especially the full rebase of granite on the new code - which we have decided will more than likely be based on the new dash code - with prepararions for some of our changes to boot ...

the new cwi website will begin in the following week also ... we have been very busy preparing all the backend - for the web designer to create the front end to ...

ozziecoin is a part of cwi now - and will be part of the development process also - whether it is separate from - or assimilated into - the granite and cwi network ... those holders of ozziecoin WILL benefit eitherway by further development or exchange to grn ... but this will take some time to get moving ...

so if you are mining and holding or trading - it benefit all of us when the time comes to make a decision as to which way we will move with this ...

tanx ...
