############################################### Hard Fork Summary :We are now at block 115340 and the Iridium network is running smooth. The first block after changing POW was mined in "only" 1 hour and 20 minutes despite the expected big hashrate drop. The drop was from 1.6Mh/s to 20kh/s and in 60 blocks, the difficulty was reflecting the exact real hashrate : big up to the latest version of LWMA from Zawy. We are now asic proof due to the cryptonight lite v7 POW and we kick out this MH fantom (witch still mining in V3 at this time  ). We also are nicehash proof (they did not implemented cn lite v7 algo yet) minimum mixin is 2 now (3 in the real transaction) and this is mandatory : your privacy level is increased.Now, exchange price is our choice, not asics !All 12 seed nodes stay straight in sync before and after HF, also the prepared pools : they get blocks and send payments without a single drop. Only 1 pools stay behind : irdpool.tk as usual and 1 pool crash at block 115202 : irdpool.ru Crex24 switch or has already switch at this time, we talk them a few hours ago. Tradeogre still experiencing ddos but is up to date No news yet from altex.exchange but we contact them. In any case : all v3 blocks are now rejected, also the containing transactions so don't mine at irdpool.tk, you will lost everything mined there since HF. Iridium is now running the version 4 ! and yes, we can say loud and clear :THIS IS A HUDGE SUCCESS ! Thank you every miners for switching you software to the right algo, Thank you pools dev for following the movement and thank you @Aiwe (KRB), @Ran (BBSCoin), @Takezo (Rto), @Jagerman (Graft) (security fix), @Zawy of course and every coin dev on Zawy's channel where we had or follow many discussions about the choice algo, the security patchs to implements and also following others hard fork... ############################################### |

EDIT: Did you monitor the mempool and the new blocks regarding any missing transactions? I see on explorer.ird.cash that the very first HF block, 115201, has a (non-coinbase) tx inside. So I hope all the mempool made it onto the new chain.
I did, I made testnet tests for both cli wallet and wallet for V4 and it was ok (edit) I tried to send a tx and now it's at 3 confirmations. |

Block 115201 is now mined ! HF is done and successfully. next diff : 126189857 (~700k) the diff will drop down quickly now.
@manona : for the linux wallet, it's strange, I have good reports from mint 18.3 and ubuntu 18.04 lts. are you in 32 bits ?
64bit All my coin VMs run fresh 16.04 LTS (with all the latest patches) but without any other crap installed. I will look at this a little later  I'm currently heavily monitoring nodes. block 115203 found ! Take your time. No urgency at all. I don't plan to sell my coins anytime soon, so I don't need a wallet actually EDIT: Oh, and congrats on the successful POW-change HF! Thanks ! and now minimum mixin is mandatory too : more privacy. |

BTW, tried yesterday to mine on the test pool with the latest Claymore 11.3 but it seems that Claymore can not do the algo used in Iridium.
You set the pow7 flag to 1 and the lite flag to 1 and he will apparently still mine the old lite algo. I guess only the normal V7 algo is implemented, the one used by Monero.
Setting the pow7 flag to 1 and lite flag to 0 however resulted in rejected shares as well, as expected.
Yes, Claymore does not support (yet) cn lite V7, while cn v7 is. I post a request. |

People mining at irdpool.tk and cryptoknight.cc : You will loose your money after block 155201. All V3 blocks are now rejected.
Other miners : switch to a cryptonight light v7 ready pool ! we have to mine this first V4 block and the difficulty is ~1.5MH (thanks chineese pool to mine at 800k before HF and not switching)

how do you treat coins that are involved in the scheme and are proud of the exchange without checking what they are going for?
ok false alarm. Tradeogre is back, maybe check before launching rockets  Anyway : you're welcome. |

Added to the Scam exchange, now the funds are lost. As they are now to compensate???
what ? ? ? |

That's exactly the estimated time of HF for Masari too ("Upcoming v5 fork at block #170,000 estimated on GMT May 1, 2018 4:55:23 AM"). What better day to HF than the early dawn of May 1st, putting the international workers back to work! Lol ! I wanted to do it on purpose, I will not have succeeded |

###################################################################
I made a mistake when I estimate the hard fork date : I use March days instead of April in my spreadsheet...
After new calculation I estimate the HF the May 1 at around 5h UTC. In any case, this is at block 115200
Sorry for that

Folks, point your CPU/GPUs to Iridium 10-20 blocks before 115200. Remember that Iridium is already on TradeOgre and there are quite a few people waiting to see if the HF will succeed before they are going to fill their bags. You know what this means for the price.
Steve, I hope all pool operators are on discord and they are aware and all on-board for the HF.
I would recommend to deploy horsepower at block 115201, this will be the first one V4 in cryptonight lite V1, before, it's cryptonight. you can send horsepower with the new cn lite v1 algo a few blocks before : shares will be rejected and pool will ban you during 30 seconds (at least on https://irdpool.fr, https://irdpool.ca, https://irdpool.net) until the V4 block. All pools devs are on discord except one, guess which , they are aware, I provide them patchs and new libs. |

Good day to all! I downloaded the latest version of XMrig ( https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases) I installed the configuration file (config.json), run the miner and the low difficulty share error. Here's what's in the configuration file (config.json): {... "pools": [ { "url": "test.irdpool.fr:1111", // URL of mining server "user": "ir2EECF4DBG3qtxW9wj37PRahaU6pvBk9WxtUhuDJpQfGP3j9U38c8uYRqCH5wubU6auGr7zUB39PYB qx2HTcFSK1CgTtbhjA", // username for mining server "pass": "x", // password for mining server "keepalive": true, // send keepalived for prevent timeout (need pool support) "nicehash": false, // enable nicehash/xmrig-proxy support "variant": -1 // algorithm PoW variant } ], ... } Just change variant : -1 to variant : 1 in pool config : -1 mean auto, 0 is lite, 1 is lite variant 1 |

Just as expected, once IRD hit an exchange it was going to hit them with a very low price. Seriously this is an extremely low cap coin. With current price and current supply (120 sats and almost 8,786,423 coins) The market cap is at barely 100k. I mean is not like the coin has any usecase or is backed up by anyone but the opportunity to grow is definitely there.
It's always funny when people ask for a "use case". First of all I consider all those "use cases" in all those whitepapers to be nothing but hot air. Secondly, life doesn't flow that way. Many of the greatest inventions and greatest companies today are not doing what their inventors/founders thought their "use case" would be. Companies were founded to make washing machines or sewing machines and today they make cars or airplanes. And those are not even the most unusual examples. We will see what Iridium and any other crypto currency (hint, hint) will be used for. BTW, the same people I always see asking for a team as opposed to a community. They consider a loose community (driven by motivation) inferior to a corporate team (bound by corporate rules and bossed around by a slave owner). Makes you wonder if they even understand the basic principle of the blockchain space: decentralisation What's funny is how you relate what I said to an ICO. I never talked about a whitepaper nor a corporate team. a use case is a list of actions or event steps typically defining the interactions between a role and a system to achieve a goal.What I mean by this is that I wonder what makes people choose iridium over any other blockchain, what is the iridium blockchain going to help them do that they can't do with any other blockchain already? If it's just a forked coin, why not just go with monero then? There has to be a value proposition that differentiates Iridium to make it attractive. Decentralisation also means not only having to rely in one coin if I want the same or even better benefits, but it doesn't mean that just because there's another coin with the same specs I will end up using it. It's also ironic that you mention the greatest companies of today (without mentioning names but is implicit) and then you bash corporations as if those companies weren't funded with corporate money and corporate influence but anyways, you mention how companies were founded to make something and they ended up doing something else. A great thing to emphasise there, they started doing something. What is iridium doing already? A corporate team is not superior than a community, this coin is based on the principle that "people are power". Where is the community here? I only see you and few other people aside from the devs making this thread 150+ pages. If there would be a rich list, I really wonder how "decentralised" and distributed the supply would be. This coin is also barely 9 months old I know, but the blockchain and fintech space as a whole moves rapidly and if your progress doesn't sync with the pace of the industry, you will get behind. I understand : currently, there is no use case, asics makes me postpone applications development for IRD, maybe luckily, also due to zawy's DAA : I see many cryptonote coin under attacks. You're right there is not a "big" community here but there is one, mainly on Discord, aside an alone dev. I would appreciate any help to develop the website, block explorer, the wiki, the api but after calls, nobody, so things goes slowly but they goes : this is the third hard fork since beginning of the year and with the development an the tests I made, it's a full time job. My goal is to provide a technically stable and fair coin. The next step is to promote it and it will. Personally, I did not see any reasons to use IRD more than another one but I like the stability we have currently, I like the name, I like hearing people having idea or just complaining about exchange, I like to exchange with other devs I met. I'm not in a competition, I don't care about this. For a rich list, I don't know if it's possible in a cryptonote coin but if community ask, I will did it. |

are there any plans to list on bigger exchanges already? Of course ! donations are here for this too |

Since I use assembler it will take a lot of time to implement all these changes and I don't have enough time currently. I implemented pow7 but for other forks you should use other miners.
I understand, but as cryptonite lite v7 is the lite version of the cryptonight v7, only 1MB scratchpad instead of 2MB, so I guess as you already implemented pow7, the lite version implementation should be facilitate |
