I have posted all three Windows QT wallets to my Mega account. Inside, to make it easy, I have also included a .conf for each coin and a batch file to start the coin in server mode if you plan to try solo mining. The conf files include what addnodes I had on hand from this thread. KED Windows qtUFC Windows qtGPL Windows qtSimply open the archive and double click the exe to start then when the client opens... close it. Now browse to you user directory, usually like this... C:\Users\YOURPCUSERNAME\Appdata\Roaming\COINSNAME Now, copy the .bat and .conf file to the coin's folder, and my personal choice, I copy the contents of the coin as well to this folder so for KED and UFC open the folder in the zip and copy all those files to the folder you just put the .bat and .conf file in. Close the zip, and double click the .bat file in the open coin folder... the client will launch and be ready to solo mine. YOU WILL NEED TO UPDATE THE CONF FILE YOURSELF... each field needing a changed value has a * in it... so... rpcconnect= needs you PC IP address, rpcuser= needs a real username for solo mining and rpcpassword needs a real, secure password of your choice. Save those changes, close the coin wallet if it was open, wait about 20 seconds and then double click the .bat file again... and you are set to solo mine. If you need help with the miner itself, that is for another thread. |

What speed of the GPL network?
You can't REALLY tell because the getnethashrate RPC call was not built into this coin. All you can do is GUESS based off a calculation using difficulty, which will not be accurate until it levels off and difficulty reaches a plateau. |

Just my 2 cents... but this is not the first person to have a 404 issue with your google docs links... and my suggestion... get a mega.co.uk free account.
When you link the mega URL... embed the tag in the URL open tag and put a generic name in between the tags... this fixes the broken link issue from the # in Mega URLs.

Darsek is dead? no one mining it?
Mind pasting the getmininginfo here so I can see where it sits? I do not have it downloaded. |

I have replaced the earlier CPU miner with the new CPU stratum scrypt-jane miner I put together. https://github.com/Hartland/GPL-CPU-MinerAgain, I left the compiled daemon in the github, no guarantees it will work (Compiled on a Mint 15 KDE VM) Compile instructions: Basic *nix build instructions:
./autogen.sh # only needed if building from git repo
./nomacro.pl # only needed if building on Mac OS X or with Clang
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make Typical start up command: ./minerd -a scrypt-jane -o stratum+tcp://gplcoin.com:8888 -u <worker name> -p <password>
dreamwatcher,
If it isn't too much to ask, can you compile a Win 64 binary for this? I was having trouble compiling one myself from the first git...
Unfortunately, I do not think I have ever successfully cross compiled anything  . It is not due to any kind of OS bias (I do my development on a Linux VM hosted on a Windows 7 system), and for the longest time developed in VS2010 before switching completely over to Linux. There are some instructions in the README file on compiling in Windows. Perhaps I should get set up to cross compile, though I almost exclusively deal with source. Perhaps one of the outstanding members of the Star Trek cryptocoin community would be willing to do a windows compile? I am attempting to redo my MinGW libraries and try this again with the new source but not 64 bit as I am still on my old Win32 Win 7 install. If I can get something that works, I will upload it ASAP and link it here. If there is anyone else that can try to do this in 64 bit while I work on this, that would be great! |

Since midnight last night EDT to now, I have found 304 blocks, of which 54 are orphans.
In the last couple of hours, I have ceased finding orphaned blocks.
I would have to say, we are definitely in stable territory now.
EDIT: we just hit block 56000 and approaching .05 difficulty.
Yes Indeed! Also would be good to see you try the pool again, after solo for a while the pool seems more efficient now. still finding blocks with ease! Yes I have been keeping an eye on the pool... my solo generation rate is still good enough that I am not ready to break off yet... but I expect difficulty to hit .1 soon enough at which point, I would say the pool is going to be more profitable for a single GPU miner. |

The important question is, What would Jean Luc say to this sir? We're heading toward Federation space at maximum warp. The crew has responded with the dedication I've come to expect of them. And like a thousand other commanders on a thousand other battlefields, I wait for the dawn. Sounds about right... |

@ Dreamwatcher
seem to be finding blocks but not getting paid for quite a while on the pool (12 hours at least) ! could you take a look when you get chance ! Thanks
Should be fixed. There should have been a massive payout. This particular bug comes up whenever there is a solved block with no shares (POS I am assuming in this case). The proportional payout cron goes into panic mode and will not process the payout on any blocks afterwards. I basically have to go in and delete the "no-shares" block entry and the cron will then retro actively process everything. I thought the developers had this fixed, I guess not. I will have to go in and write a bit of code to have the cron just ignore share-less blocks and not freak out...  Wait what... how long is the PoS time frame... 24 hours??? Where are the details of this coins PoS listed? From what i gathered it's cloned from Yac so i assume it's the same in all respects with the PoS mining! not 100% sure so maybe we could get clarification from Scifi or Dream This was a topic of discussion in cryptsy chat the other night with one of the PoS coin devs and mullick, where they were hashing out the need for a much more micro timestamping for PoS coin blocks. The problem is the same here, where a block essentially has exactly the same timestamp and thus either the DB or the client itself can't figure out what to do with it. In the case of the discussion in Cryptsy chat, it was about which would be orphaned if a PoW block and a PoS block minted at exactly the same time... the result was (and i believe they had to leave it at an assumption for the time being) that the PoS block is orphaned... and now we know why some of these PoS coins that have been having zero coin blocks found are doing so... first a round down bug for small coin blocks... and now a timestamp issue with these fast block time, low difficulty coins. |

If anyone's not busy pm me and help walk me through setting up cpu miner to mine gpl .. I am so lost  Well, I need to know a few things. What OS are you running? Do you know how to use Github? If you are running Windows, you may need to wait until somebody does a Window compile on the CPU miner I just put up. IF you are using Linux, just let me know at what point you are stuck at.  I gave her some instruction to get started but at some point, she will also need the 64 bit windows binary version of what you just made. |

I have a bit of good news!! Instead of trying to get push pool to work...... I took a stratum capable cpu miner and gave it the ability to do scrypt-jane. After a little more testing, I will release it on github. A small sample: [2013-09-03 05:39:34] Stratum detected new block

@ Dreamwatcher & Scificoin cool coin & pool  hard to make a mmcfe pool look unique but i really like it ! I have a question though, I am using some yaminer (some modified cgminer) that i found on the yac thread, I updated the settings to include --Nfmin 4 --Nfmax 30 --StartT 1377557876 and it's finding blocks and submitting shares, + i am getting paid at the pool. however the number of blocks that the yaminer reports is vastly different from the the blocks at the pool (orphans or accepted) I wonder if the number of total blocks and money supply is correct. Is it possible to have phantom blocks that are mined but never show anywhere? I have a Sapphire 7950 OC Boost Edition clocked at 1250g/1750m/1250vddc/+20 TDP The below gets me almost 600KH/s... using I 18 or I 20 pushes it to 1.4MH/s but the pool barely reports 1MH/s. The last few commands in the line keep me under 1% invalids on the pool.
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
ybcminer.exe --scrypt --Nfmin 4 --Nfmax 30 --StartT 1377557867 -o stratum+tcp://gplcoin.com:8888 -u USER -p PASS --shaders 1792 --thread-concurrency 21712 --worksize 256 --lookup-gap 2 --scan-time 1 --queue 4 --no-submit-stale -I 13
EDIT: I found 3 solo blocks in the time i dropped from the pool just before starting to type this post and now... getting LOTS better. |
|

|

It appears we are at the start of settling... orphans now no longer instantly disappear from my client... and i actually got another block.
Block generation has actually started to slow so... lets see what it looks like right now.
Also... I found playing WoW and using I 13 is completely doable lol... so... I am playing and mining atm.

Unless absolutely needed, no restart... this is just one large GPU farmer who had his sights set for this launch and has refused to let up.
I have managed ONE solo block with my GPU in hours the rest are stale... and the block rate seems steady and only slightly increasing as some try to get in... but this GPU farm has a very large hashrate... the pool stats say it all where it still says block time less than a second... until difficulty jumps enough to stall the orphans, this is going to happen.
It is sad this isn't even worth mining right now because of this one person, it might have been better to have worked with dreamwatcher and released this SOLELY through the pool until we got an idea of who was interested and how much hashrate that entailed.
I will be playing WoW the rest of the day and then see how this fairs out tonight... maybe I will jump back on.
For now... my 20 GPL will have to be enough.

dreamwatcher,
Care to post your start script, what you have to mine with and any suggestions for best parameters to run?
Seems you had no issues finding blocks... but the rest of us aren't as lucky lol.

Dammit, The pool is going to be up and down.
Dam thing was working a minute ago.  Helps if I am using the right miner....cgminer just does not cut it Also might want to update your getting started tab... stratum+tcp://gplcoin.com:8888 |
|
|
|

So many orphans... makes me sad to see the immature count go up then watch it hit zero with no credit...
|

So no pool for 24 hours?
What about the CPUMiner dream was working on... will he at least get what he needs to put that into use?
Dream has the source to make the pool and his GPU and CPU miner! He wanted us to release it, and we will soon! It looks like its irrelevant anyway because someone is GPU mining by the looks of it! I am working on it. There is an issue and I am identifying on which end it is coming from. Once fixed, I will get the pool up and the CPU miner available. But by the looks of it, i should just go ahead and release the GPU miner also...What do you guys think? If you have it and it's working best to release it ! because if someone is getting 90% of the coins it really unfair on the other miners! everyone would love a slice of the pie ! The sooner the better... now even the handful of accepted blocks found with GPU are instantly orphaned. |

I have managed to find a couple shares with GPU amongst 99% rejects and block count is soaring... none of my client PCs generating are finding anything now. |
