61  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: yam M7v support XMR/QCN/BCN/FCN on: July 12, 2014, 07:29:22 AM
Anyone know if there's a way to specify an "@" in the password for YAM in yam-xmr.cfg?

I'm trying to mine here:

http://dwarfpool.com/xmr

Where you can put your email as the password to get status updates, however YAM treats everything after the @ as part of the server address in the following line:

mine = stratum+tcp://address.1:my@gmail.com@erebor.dwarfpool.com:8005:8050:8080:8100/xmr

anyone got any tips here?

I tried putting the email address in "'s but no joy. YAM tries to connect to a server at gmail.com@erebor.dwarfpool.com and obviously fails.

Also thanks to the person who created this! It's faster than Wolf's miner for me - enough to offset the developer fee!

No, the daemon was never stuck.

Ok.. Was just weird that all the stats froze on the Web UI. Not sure if your web frontend was having issues or what? I was watching it on and off for ages and then it eventually snapped back to life.

Yeah I'm half asleep and somehow missed the donation section. I also referred to MRO rather than XMR..

Thus far we have received well under 1 BTC in donations, a trivial amount. That means that all of our time and energy and effort is completely self-funded.

We are not sitting on mountains of XMR, this is a cryptocurrency that had an absolutely 100% fair launch. Given the current size of the cryptocurrency market I would argue that it had an even fairer launch than Bitcoin, because tons of people jumped on and mined it from day 1. We had no opportunity to amass any sizeable amount of XMR. Thus, our entire effort is a labour of love and completely because we want to see XMR become useful. If we get no donations, we are unable to spend large amounts of time on it, and we will have to peck away at it in our spare time. If you want to see less "sluggishness" (i.e. more time allocated), then donate. If you haven't donated you have absolutely no room to manoeuvre in this discussion.

***
Meanwhile, all the monero nation! Let us donate to Monero dev team! Call to do that all the pool operators, exchange owners, etc.!!!
It's our shame, that Monero's daily volume is the biggest among exchanges, but dev team received just under 1 BTC!
***


I agree! Fluffypony - what are the BTC/MRO donation addresses for the dev team? They're not in the OP (maybe consider adding them?). My bad, they are in OP and I didn't notice.

I'll try to get a donation drive going on reddit and contribute what I can myself.

Difficulty is already adjusted for different block time, so no need to discount on it. This makes XMR a more profitable target for botnet owners. And yesterday when I did the same calculations, XMR price was higher, BCN difficulty 20M lower. That is why it was 10% higher for XMR.

No you have that exactly wrong. Difficulty tells you how many hashes you have to do (on average) for each block (not per day -- your formula is fundamentally incorrect).

Go back and recalculate with difficulty correctly applied per block and you will get different (correct) results.

Ok, let's do it again:

Block reward:
BCN: 110,000
XMR: 15.6

Difficulty:
BCN: 114,000,000
XMR: 800,000,000

Price:
BCN: 0.00000008
XMR: 0.00294


Block reward adjusted for difficulty = (Block reward / Difficulty) * Price
BCN: 0.0000000000771929824561
XMR: 0.0000000000573300000000

Blocks per day:
BCN: 720
XMR: 1440

Daily emission adjusted for difficulty = block reward adjusted for difficulty * blocks per day:
BCN: 0.0000000555789   
XMR: 0.0000000825552

Again, XMR is way more profitable for botnet owners and that is exactly what I've been trying to tell you with the previous calcs, but they were inaccurate as I've taken rough daily emission and might have made a mistake with the estimate.

I did some quick calculations earlier and also saw that BCN is more profitable.

My formula is [your HR]/[network HR]*[blocks per day]*[block reward]*[price in BTC]

This will give you BTC/day for your crypto of choice. When I did my calculations earlier I was getting ~20% more BTC/day for BCN vs XMR for the same hashrate.

i dont care about the coins, u can keep them
when this tx failed issue hitted it prevented me doing any transactions: i had my "full" balance" and i was not able to get any coin out.
i had to play long time to move any coins out, doing same transfer again and again like 100 times to get not tx failed
i dont mean dust here. i was struggling with all the coins i got out, it was not easy, not just the remain 1.6, they are heavy  stuck
 

It's because your balance was made up of lots of small transactions coming in, so when you tried to send it out, the tx size was too big and the withdrawal failed.

Think of it this way, you have a friend who is going to give you 10kg of weight with his bare hands. Imagine he gives you one 10kg metal block. This is easy to hold and move around because it's just one big lump (one transaction).

Now imagine he tries to give you 10kg of fine sand (e.g lots of little bits that together make up 10kg). You can't hold this in your hand or move it around very easily. You can only move as much of this sand as you can fit into your hands at once, so it takes you many handfuls to move the 10kg (many transactions). Does that make sense?

ok, its kind a scary when this hits you if u have lot of coins
i was able to transfer most of my coins to another wallet
i had to make payment like 100 times per transaction to get it passed


I can understand that - no one wants to lose their hard-earned coins! Apologies for accusing you of trolling.

You won't have this problem if you keep mining in the future as all pools now have a 0.2 XMR minimum send, so you should be able to do large transactions (100+ XMR) from your wallet all in one go without having to split it up and pay extra transaction fees. If you post your Monero address, I can give you a small tip to make up for any transaction fees you had to pay. Smiley

i sent the  wallet  to fullypony, they can play with it to see why i had ghost coins in my wallet
they can play with it if they care to see what is happening
when this bug hits some big holder.. coin is far in deep shit..


The problem was that you mined lots of small 'dust' transactions to your wallet address before the minimum send amount was implemented into the pool code. This will result in a transaction that is too large to broadcast when you try to withdraw all your coins because it is taking lots of tiny fractional coin amounts.

The pools are fixed now and core devs are working on automatic transaction splitting so this won't be an issue in future wallet versions. Fluffypony offered to send you your entire balance in one lump sum so you no longer have this issue (back on pg 479). Just provide him with a wallet address to send it to.

no, im not so stupid i would not know what is dust


Ok I gave a helpful answer and you just totally ignored the fact that the bug is going to be fixed and fluffypony offered to send you all of your coins (because they're not actually lost like you claim!).

I gave you the benefit of the doubt because I want to help folk not so familiar with Monero but I guess you're just trolling?

maybe your post got deleted because it was completely useless, and likely untruthful.

"this coin is full of shit and dead now" - not going to waste key strokes responding to that
"i lost every fucking coin in my wallet someone spent those, can't use them anymore" - This is obviously your fault. You either gave your keys file and password to someone, or got hacked, likely with keylogger. This is by no means fault of xmr and could just as easily happened with any other currency.
"move on, don't lose your time and money" - awww, I would ask you to sell me your xmr, but someone already got them =)


Really though, I think you are lying.

Did the daemon get stuck earlier? I noticed that the Network "block found" went as high as '5 hours ago' earlier today, and all the other stats froze too.

Got new usability improvements or found a bug? Feel free to contact us here or e-mail us: PR@Hitbtc.com

Not sure if this is possible but it would be amazing if you could implement any of the following notification methods when a trade of yours is executed (all optional):

- chrome desktop notifications (see https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/notifications )
- audio notification (e.g the beep you hear on blockchain.info when your wallet makes or recieves a transaction)
- email notifications.

Obviously with email you would need to avoid spam if someone is making lots of small buys/sells into a large order of yours, so maybe only email when an order is completely filled. But having any of the above notification methods as an option would be much appreciated.
72  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - Secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency - Now on Hitbtc.com on: July 09, 2014, 02:40:14 PM
i have been out of monero mining for a while due to a move.
1. in the op there is no multiminer link. does this still work.
2. is multi miner still the same as lucas zone11 miner
3. why is wolf miner linked is it much better than lucas miner (if it is multiminer)
4. any solo miners left? not cloud miners mind you. just a guy or gal with a computer random town usa.
5. with 100/s what is the time frame a solo miner can expect to find a block now using simpleminer
6. with CN now producing a reference code coin. Does this pose a threat to monero. not their reference code coin but others launching with what is now fairly known technology and therefore launched to a broader base than those of us who found bitmonero in its early days.

thanks.

1-3) Wolfs miner is considered the fastest atm, it is an improved fork of Lucas' miner.
4-5) people are still still solomining but with considerably more than 100 h/s. If thats all you have you would be better on a pool but don't expect to make too much.
6) Its debateable but the essence is that their reference coin is just that, an implementation allowing any noob to fill in the variables and have their own CN coin. However, if a dev does not have the knowledge to fork without a holding hand method do you really expect them to be able to maintain a coin and also make it better than XMR ? I doubt it, the reference code imo is the CN team shooting themselves in the foot by giving people the tools to create lots of crappy implementations of their technology.


htank you for reponse.
for education perposes then, perhapse if I could be educated regarding how long to find a block given 100 h/s. I use this number as reference only. I know lots of people are solo mining, but using cloud mining.

again, thanks.

Current network hashrate is 11.62 MH/s, which is 11.62 x 10^6 H/s or 11620000 H/s.

100 H/s divided by 11.62 MH/s = 0.0000086, which is the fraction of blocks you will find with 100 H/s.

Given there is one block every minute on average, that gives 24 x 60 blocks per day = 1440 blocks per day.

Multiply 1440 by 0.0000086 to get the number of blocks you'll find a day, on average, which is 0.0124.

Divide 1 by 0.0124 to get the number of days it should take you to find a block. In this case, it will take you (on average) 80 days to find a block worth 15.7 XMR while solomining.

Your best bet currently is to use a pool where you'll be able to mine approximately 0.19 XMR per day.

Hey, that's strange, nobody reported that one on our official forum. Does anybody else actually have this issue?
Also, we only got about five more people who voted for Monero since yesterday. Can it be due to this problem? I find it hard to believe that community consists of 35 people in total.

I had the same problem too when trying to sign up last night.

[message snipped]

I'm open to your opinions everyone...

I think associating Monero with shemale pornography is a terrible idea. I have nothing against those who enjoy it but to the average person it will definitely be shocking and off-putting if they search for Monero the coin and find something of that nature. Not to mention the amount of youngsters interested in crypto who should definitely not be exposed to that. You talk about 'private life' but it's hardly private when those pictures are splayed all over twitter.

I am 99.99% sure that you are just a troll account taking advantage of this similarly named twitter profile. In fact, I suspect you are posting here in order to link that twitter account with this thread in the eyes of search engines such as Google. That will result in a higher search ranking for that twitter profile when people search for this crypto currency. Quite a troll indeed.

~1000 hash/s with 4x 280x

Ok so I'm still getting more than 1x280x on my i7, I'm happy enough with that. Something tells me hash rate is about to go through the roof though.

More than 1KH/s? What kind of i7 do you have?

No I meant I get more than 250h/s (1/4 of 1000).

Anyone with an AMD card able to test this and post hash rates?

I'm all Nvidia so here's hoping a cuda compatible miner is out soon.
78  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - Secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency on: June 04, 2014, 08:20:24 AM
Also posted in the MRO trading thread but it seems kinda dead. Looking to make a large batch purchase of monero. Any sellers contact me by PM.

That's what the exchanges are for:)

Shitty volume on the markets. Trivial amounts. Useless for a serious purchase.

Are you living under a rock, Mr. Serious?

There are only about 3,000 BTC of Monero in existence... and daily Polo volume is > 150 BTC.

Approximately how many XMR get mined daily currently?

You can look for yourself here:

All right, people. You asked for Win64 binaries of the optimized miner, and finally, they're here. You want Win64 flavor - this thread is where you want to be: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=619373
There is no increase in hash rate with this Windows release compared to bitmonerod.exe
Did you compiled it with the intel compiler or it's mingw/cygwin? I hope when those changes are merged to the bitmonerod / simpleminer / simplewallet and it's compilled with the intel compiler there will be a real increase in hash rate so I could continue to solo mine.

I see a hash rate increase on my machine - try running with number of threads = number of physical cores. Maybe even one less. It's counterintuitive but I guess taking advantage of hyperthreading negates the impact of the hardware optimisations?

Today's blockchain.bin : => 18 May 2014 <=

Hope it will help   Wink

Thanks - is this for Linux or Windows? If Windows, 64 bit or 32 bit?



I believe in the underlying technology too. That's why it is a bit distressing not be able to mine the coin profitably, even though I started trying around block 20,000. I believe enough in Monero to have bought several thousand on the exchange, in part because I wasn't having much luck with mining. I suppose if a lot of other people come to the same conclusions, and start buying instead of mining, the price will start to rise. I guess that would settle my concerns some.

My numbers say it's always better to buy than mine. For  Monero, my home server pushes around 15 H/s (a single thread) because that's the right thing to do even if you don't mine. If everybody did this, we would have no centrazilation problem.


This is true for the most part, unless you get in right at day 0. Having said that, I still feel Monero is undervalued, so I leave all my rigs mining. Who knows where it may go down the line, I don't want to look back and kick myself for not getting what I thought was a relatively small amount at the time. That and for the decentralisation as you mention.
