1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: PhoenixMiner 5.9d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux) on: January 17, 2022, 01:34:00 AM
Hi all,

I posted this question couple of days before, but was deleted. I wonder why, since it's fully on-topic, and perhaps a simptom of a problem woth PhoenixMiner (or it's just me, but the question is honest).
Well, the cas is  I got an out of memory problem mining ETC (eth classic) with my 3GB nVidia GTX1060, since a couple of days ago.
Coincidentally with change to epoch #238 (5.9d say's to be good up to epoch #240 and 3gb cards should be able to mine etc until june/22 or so).
Any one with the same issue?

This is the command line:
./PhoenixMiner -pool us1-etc.ethermine.org:4444 -wal 0xblablabla -worker myworker -pass x -coin etc

This is the output:
Phoenix Miner 5.9d Linux/gcc - Release build

Wow as Im reading about all these hacks I see a post about 6.0 beta. Reported that ish. DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY VERSIONS OF ANYTHING FROM "NEW MEMBERS"

Now that you mention about "other" downloads, what about phoenixminer.ORG? It differ's from phoenixminer.INFO?

Completely off the grid: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/viabtc.com

Not doing great but slowly improving: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/poolin.com

Still a bit shaky: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/f2pool.com

Not sure if a network issue in the china firewall or what, but it would be interesting to see the failover data stats. One big pool going down like that could cascade to other pools getting knocked out when all the miners fail over to their secondary pools*

Unless they are using bitfury software, as that only allows one pool  Roll Eyes

Probably by the time you read this it will all be fixed, but its been going on for a while now, not sure how much its affecting mining or just access to the web sites.

By the time I'm reading this, still no DNS for ViaBTC, Poolin and F2pool :-(

What's the difference between the miner located at phoenixminer.org and phoenixminer.info?

Restart the software. Can you try directly connecting one of the publicly available nodes using the 'addnode' command? Node list: https://bitnodes.earn.com/.
Yep! Already try, with about 30 of them, but no better luck. Sometimes got 2 or 3 peers, but they gone in a while. And the "socket recv error" remains a lot.
You sure that the port isn't blocked in a way, say by your ISP?

No, the port is ok. I've tested it from other networks, and my ISP  ensures network neutrality
BTW, I can run other coins (eg monero) and the btc testnet works fine for me.

Hello,
I have installed Bitcoin Core 0.18.1 on my linux box. It has fixed and public IP, and no firewall so port 8333 is ok.
I just ran "bitcoind", starts ok, generates the files at $HOME/.bitcoin, but then complains "socket receive error Connection reset by peer (104)"
forever.
After 24 hours, I got connection with just one node, as it shows netstat and bitcoin-cli getpeerinfo.
Getblockcount is always 0.
 
I've tryied connecting to testnet (bitcoind -testnet), and no problem. After a minute or two,  I got 8 peers, blockchain filesize at .bitcoin/testnet3 increasing, bitcoin-cli returns good info.

But of course, I wan to ran my node on the real net!

What can I do?

Here's some of my debug.log

If they change to ASIC and bitmain can use their recently launched cryptonight ASIC to secure the network, i guess its not a bad idea at all.
PS: I dont hold any SUMO.

The point is ASICs are not intended to secure netowrks, and furthermore tend to centralize.
Not to mention the impairment to small miners.

PS. I mine SUMO, now, not sure I should hold them

really? back to cryptonight and ASICs? Have you not followed what happened to Electroneum? They had the attack and then were forced to fork the ASICs off (is just happening).

I can understand that you would like to move away from CN-heavy, it uses too much resources on the mining side, why not move to IPBC/BITTUBE or other variant on CN-lite? Or if you like the 2MB scratchpad, why not CN7?

They said "We believe in Decentralization ASICs bring to a Cryptocurrency since they are a vital part of the eco system.
                …and this could provide only good for Sumo."

So, Sumo Team *wants* ASICs

Hi guys,
Has anybody been in trouble with turtle.atpool.party?
Since yesterday seems to be not sinchroized (according to it's dashboard) and has stopped paying in the last 24 hours, but continues mining and finding blocks.
Unfortunately that pool has no further info.
Already moved to another pool, but it would be nice to know.

12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: 1 Trillion coin supply you say? That's not really that many actually... on: February 19, 2018, 03:47:06 AM
“One Trillion Turtles: Coin Supply and Unit Economics” @_turtlecoin https://medium.com/@turtlecoin/one-trillion-turtles-coin-supply-and-unit-economics-5bfbea0aa1f1

The highlight from that article, remove the decimal places from these coins and this is how many units there are of each coin.

Code:
TRTL:               100,000,000,000,000

BTC:              2,100,000,000,000,000

IOTA:             2,779,530,283,277,761

LTC:               8,400,000,000,000,000

ETH: 97,879,990,190,000,000,000,000,000


1 Trillion + 2 decimals is less than 21 Million + 8 decimals.
I can do 2 decimal math in my head, 8 decimals, not so much...

1 Trillion sounds big compared to 21million, as soon as you remove the decimal and focus on actual units, it turns out to be less.


That's easy for YOU to say...  I mean... That requires actually using your brain and doing simple math.
The crypto world is inundated with low IQ miners and/or investors.  Simple math simply does not compute.


I'm afraid numerical scales are not unversal.
For my understanding as I learned at school:
1,000,000 = 1 million
1,000,000,000,000 = 1 billion (or a million of millions)
1,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 1 trillion (or a million of -previous- billions)
... and so on.

so, I think we better state numbers instead of words :-)

Cheers,

Not unhappy, but worried about several hours without blocks.
And worried because interested in this good coin XUN.

Yes, More blocks been found now, and you are still not happy!!!

Really? 37 blocks with a reward of about $80 worth of XUN coins don't pay a day mining?

37 blocks found in 24 hours. Doesn't pay even the electricity! Angry

Well, no blocks for almost 14 hours, suddenly 25 blocks straight in less than an hour, but now the blockchain seems to be stucked at #33871 again, we don't know for how long.
Could be profitable anyway, but that's not what we miners expect, though.

If I use XUN for transfer transactions, will my transaction record be protected and others will not see my records?


That's the problem with XUN right now. Your TX is ok, but  hours between blocks, will take days for it to be completed.
Not quite reliable, IMHO

Yes, We are working on the issue. Just be patient and wait for difficulty to drop down



The network hashrate increased almost 10x.
3 hours hav passed, and no new blocks.
Weird !

Hi

On www.xpoolx.com/magindex.php this night we found a valid block and confirmed. Is it possible? or it's a forked block and wont be valid?

Thanks


The magi block explorer shows apparently normal PoW extraction. High reward due to low hashrate.
So, xpoolx's block seems to be valid.

NOTE:

- If you have syncing problem with previous version on Windows, you may need a fresh start by (1) Backing up your wallet seed words (2) Deleting C:\ProgramData\sumokoin and C:\ProgramData\SumokoinGUIWallet (3) Restarting Windows (4) Installing new version and restoring wallet with saved seed words at step 1.

P/S: Pls make sure you have the latest version from https://github.com/sumoprojects/SumoGUIWallet/releases/tag/v0.0.1-b2

Installed the latest version, but couldn't get fully sync. It goes forward but always 8-10 blocks behind, never reaches the current block.

It's the same situation with console sumkoind.

Question: Now, with v0.0.1-b2 the GUI wallet is usable while syncing, so, is it realiable to send coins being some blocks behind?
