Hello all, I began mining cryptocurrencies just a few days ago, and I have searched for one that would be easy to start with. Somehow kronecoin came up to my sight. I gave it a try for about a week, and it's obvious that there is something wrong with it. First of all, let's look at the website and software. Forum link at the top of the page is pointing to an archived thread on reddit.com. Threre are no installation notes for KronecoinCore for Linux, and God knows we always need some instructions for using anything on Linux, so I never managed to get that thing running. Installation for Windows contains a trojan - even if it is a false positive, good development team would resolve it in short time, so this is obviously not the case. The only good thing from my perspective is an example of how to start the miner in Linux, by downloading it from GitHub and compiling it. Since I coudn't use desktop wallet either on Linux or on Windows, I used Web wallet, which is very elementary. It doesn't even provide HTTPS for security! There are two officially supported pools: EU pool and US pool. In EU pool there is constantly only 2-3 miners, with clearly not specialized hardware, producing about 30-60Khs per miner. In US pool there is 2-4 miners, with more advanced hardvare, producing 100Khs - 4Mhs per miner. There were few pools mentioned in this thread, like https://www.mining-dutch.nl/ and http://blockmunch.club/. I checked both of them, and there were most of the time 0 active miners there, with maybe a miner or two just dropping by, producing really not much. I was CPU mining, but with relatively good machine using 4 CPUs with AES-NI enabled, producing around 100Khs (as mining tool and pool monitor reported). Although my mining software reported that I have produced thousands of accepted shares, when I monitored the performance of the EU pool, it came up that my result was always around 200-400 shares. It was the same for the rest of the guys, their result was also just a little bit rising and then a bit falling, always going up and down. There is also no indicator to show which block are we all processing at the moment. BUT, then I checked "Block Explorer". And, to my great surprise, there where dozens of payouts each minute, with full 50 kronecoins per payout! I then checked if any of those payouts went to any of the active miners on either US or EU pool, and there was NONE! For all these days and thousands and thousands of shares I produced, I got one big ZERO coins. So, the big question is: WHERE ARE THAT PHANTOM MINERS, THAT ARE GETTING ALL THE PAYOUTS, COMING FROM? This all looks like one big fraud. Even if these are real miners, producing that much payouts, which means that much full blocks per minute, would require highly advanced equipment. That alone, would be a great contradiction to kronecoin's original idea: "our goal over the few next years is to help people who want to mine to do so with small hardware resources". I just switched to another cryptocurrency - it took me some time to get the things going, but as soon as I did that, even though I was mining for just half an hour, some amount was delivered to my account, no matter how low it was! That is the proof for me that the other cryptocurrency is doing thing honestly, and that kronecoin is all in muddy waters. To conclude, if you are reading this and just wanted to start with some cryptocurrency to see how things are going... well, you can do just that. For everything else... it would be better to find another coin to mine. Yes there is something going on, no activity on the block explorer for hours then a ton of blocks mined by the same wallet. I also mined for 24hrs and mined virtually nothing with an L3. It is a shame as the coin could have done well. Who ever is in control of the coin has either given up or unaware of the issues, either way until someone states otherwise I wouldn't bother. UPDATE I have found that most of the last blocks were mined at mining-dutch and the wallet in question. So there seems to be a problem with the blockchain in my opinion as it is not consistent. |

Baikal is now supplying a update for X10, including X11-Gost and NIST5 algo`s :-D
As usual, sgminer source code is not available from Baikal.
EDIT:
Oh, they also say more algo`s to come - we know what those are :-)
Can someone test something? From the new x10 Update, once you update, can you extract the new sgminer file. And then place it on a previous x10 version overwriting the sgminer only? Want to see if there were other changes needed or just a new correctly compiled sgminer file for it to work? Since there were no other firmware updates needed for the new algos to work. I updated the X10 with the new image, then reflashed the firmware to the GX10_V13 and the new algos still work (old firmware, new sgminer). What a machine the X10 is, 7 algo's and counting, still the best miner around for long term... UPDATE My Bad, seems the firmware didn't take, tried again after editing update_fw.py and did flash but wouldn't find the devices, |

Hi.
So far as the journey goes with the X10.
1. Overclocking = FAIL
2. Groestle = FAIL
At this present time???
I hope that I am wrong!!!
Would love to have these babies kicking ass again!
thanks
I say someone figured it out and keeping hush hush, look at the GroestlCoin difficutly between now and last week. https://whattomine.com/coins/48-grs-groestlEither that, or Baikal have started mining Groestl (then we might see an update in ~3 months) :-O Cod3gen, tried to send you a pm but you are not accepting from newbies. I have something Very interesting regarding X10. |

The list is coming from a static html file, called miner.html. You can add a complete list of algorithms that sgminer supports. However because the firmware on the chip doesn't have the library the miners will default to the base algorithm. On the Giant B it defaults to Blake. Not sure about the X10.
What I have done on my GB, I have added the list and noticed that many will connect to the pools correctly and will send data back and forth, and show as live on the status page of the miner. Those that do connect come back with 99.9% reject errors, not because sgminer didn't have the code, but because of the hardware is incorrectly hashing with the Blake algorithm instead of using the one selected by sgminer.
By telling sgminer to use cryptonight or nist5 for example, it works, as it passes along the commands to the hardware. However, the hardware level (STM Chip Firmware) is stopping us from reaching our goal of adding them and running those additional coins.
I'm very certain this can be accomplished, but its a bit beyond me at this point. We need a C Programmer with STM Chip programming experience.
From the digging I have done, the miner.html is generated from miner.php file in var/www . I have looked through all files there and still do not see the algos mentioned within any of those files so this is still a mystery to me, maybe someone can find the source. It is looking like you say that the chips are the key. |

Basically we need a hardware engineer/programmer to get this going in the direction we all want.
We don’t care to overclock, we care to mine coins on asic not yet available to the public. Which yield enormously higher daily revenues.
We want to beat Baikal and Bitmain to the punch.
If you all are in agreement let’s figure this out and make it happen.
I have been trying to work backwards from the miner gui which might lead to some ideas. The main question I have is where are the algo's coming from in the miners drop down selector, remote file? or the ASIC's themselves. Angularjs is being used with ngmodel=pool.algo Just ideas |

Is it possible on mining-dutch.nl to automatically change the algorithms for their profitability? For example miningpoolhub can. They have a multi port for algos to mine whichever is more profitable at the time, check the getting started page which should help |

Just received my 2 Giant X10  at last! It wasn't that late, taking into consideration the Holidays period! 1st, lets hope for operations with minimal problems as it seems to cause lots of them 2nd, any one would like to propose a pool to point these midgets? Thanks and hope you all happy mining! ra_XOr are a good pool with auto btc conversion, xvg and geo doing well there how much daily  ? Around 500 xvg per 24hr per machine. I now have 1 machine mining xvg and the other at miningpoolhub mining geo. One of my machines is running 10 degrees hotter than the other even when on the same algo, thinking of flashing the firmware with the latest release but it seems you need to dismantle the miner to get to the card, anyone know how to do this before I get the screwdrivers out! where are you mining your XVG at ? Im on idcray and no where near 500 xvg per machine used this pool for a while, great interface and quite reliable pool fees 2% |

How much daily mining geo? Between 4-6 at miningpoolhub, mining-dutch didn't have enough geo miners, all mining xvg. Took the problem machine apart and flashed the card but it seems that it could be a thermal paste issue, one card had some at the ends of the board whereas the other 2 did not. This machine is running between 30-36, the other 24-27 both next to each other in an ac controlled room. |

Are you kidding me, what is going on AERM, this is a serious problem, where the developer? must check this !!! Unless an explanation can be given by the Dev's and a resolution you can kiss this [Suspicious link removed]dbye, just like B3, once the investors smell a rat then it's goodbye |

This is to the DEV's and MOD's of B3, I feel some clarity is required and offer you an opportunity to be heard by answering what I consider to be the most important questions relating to recent problems with B3. 1. Why was the decision taken to implement Fundamental nodes before the 80k block? Please bear in mind the following facts; One reason given in this official B3 youtube video states it was to reward early investors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxiuczSCjGs&t=4sLooking at the official pool figures for the 25th of November, out of 5500+ wallets there were only around 100 wallets who had over 25 million coins required for a FN. A quick look at those figures should have given you an idea of the percentage of the community you were rewarding with early FN's (i'm sure frogger's pool had similar numbers); 2. Why so many updates during the release of the FN's rendering pools and exchanges unable to transact and investors unable to purchase FN's unless they had coins in a private wallet? 3. The DEV's FN's were rewarded with in my opinion several billion coins due to the carousel feature not working, Who and when are those coins going to be distributed to? 4. There is a lot of mystery surrounding No1 wallet, what is the story behind it and what has happened to it? 5. Are any DEV's or MODs' holding any wallets in the top 10 rich-list? Getting the full facts from yourselves would go a long way to possibly regaining some trust with the other 97% of the community who are a little angry right now. |

I hope B3 coin will be fully enabled in cryptopia. So that we can resume buying b3 coin in cryptopia. Have they updated with the version 3.0.0.4? I do not understand what are they waiting for. There seems to be no more problem with the update. I will be waiting.
what would be great is that we could be kept in the loop by josh when he comes here as to what the heck is actually going on... lack of any info from the dev team just causes more speculation and fear right now wallet #1 is unfrozen so we are back to the same boat we were in a week ago just now we all lost the 10,000% staking as advertised and now we cant sell our coins to get out... i have seen it said here then get out, we cant!! our coins at this moment are useless cause we cant buy or sell them anywhere This is what happens when poor decisions are made to benefit the few. I will be sticking to what I consider the best strategy of selecting an Altcoin in future. Does the coin have a purpose? Is the coin following the roadmap? Is the whitepaper detailed, clear and concise? what is the history of the developers Oh well onto the next one then, Ultranote is looking good and so is Electroneum once they have testing finalised, my thoughts only |

FIX THE SHIT AND GET IT WORKING
I'm going to let the childish, entitled brat behaviour just sit there and speak for itself, and just say this: Everyone on the team are working hard to get this situation cleared. Those on the team with enough B3 to run a FN, are not able to because of the current issues, so we are in the same boat. begs the question who is currently able to run masternodes as they will be the ones with any value left in a week If the team did not intend to scam which I still believe it was well at least badly executed. There was no good reason to try and rush things with the MN before block 80K. And even more unforgivable for me to have admins on discord who just kick or ban people at their leisure. Complete disrespect to community members really. People running Fundamental Nodes, are people who took the (huge) cost of not being in a pool the last weeks, to prepare having enough in their wallet for this. LMAO, seriously, The original DEV's plan was to allow FN's after the 80k block, so it seems those who prepared the last weeks were in the know about the ridiculous decision to allow FN's before 80K block. The reason to allow FN's before 80K block by the DEV's was to "reward" the early investors (those who had already made a fortune) and had 25 mil coins to pay for a FN. That was around 4% of the community, the other 96% of the community were against this as they did not have 25 mil and were hoping to get a FN after the 80k block (which would have created 1000+ FN's) and would have stabilised the network far better than the initial 15 owned by the DEV's (mostly IP's in Japan). The whole B3 scenario is looking like one of the biggest altcoin scams so far, and the DEV's best get sorting it out before the 96% of the feeling cheated community do a runner, oh and I bet Ambassador to B3 Mr Jamie Woodruff is so happy he signed up to this. I think you're making stuff up. I invested a lot of my money into this around the 68K block and kept it all staking in my wallet. That's why I had enough for a fundamental node. I've never been to Discord, I refuse to sign up for social media sites. Never talked/texted/emailed with a dev. I refuse to send my coins to pool because I always thought that having your coins under some un-regulated, stranger's control is never a good idea. Partially it's by luck of not trusting pools that I have enough for a node. As for node IP's being in Japan, I could have set up my node in Japan too if I wanted to. The VPS service I use (Vultr) has most of their servers in the U.S., but they also have servers in other countries, including Japan. So their nodes being in Japan really means nothing. So where do you get your information? If that's the case you also don't know that the carousel feature where the oldest FN in the chain gets a reward then moves to the back of the queue is not working and that some FN's are getting multiple block stakes (1billion) while others are getting nothing. So where is the coin burn in the FN's? the whole point to reduce supply yet it will soon be a trillion coins. My information is based on what I've seen first hand, as the results of my own decisions. If you've read my post carefully, you will see that nowhere in my post did I mention any speculative information, whether true or not. I will keep arguing this rubbish. Why would a DEV or anyone else choose server not closest to themselves and the rest of the wallets and expected FN's especially for testing purposes. Are most of the B3 holders in Japan? I don't know about putting up a node in Japan, but I don't choose my server location based upon its proximity to my house. I choose it based upon geographic stability. That's why, if I have a choice, I would never choose a server in Los Angeles (earthquake), or Florida (hurricanes). I always thought it was best practice to place a server in proximity to your audience/users with business continuity planned for. Would Macy's host their websites in Sweden because it's quite stable there, or would they just have a backup server there for business continuity. My point was why were the test FN's in Japan or was it that some clever people read the updated code and quickly setup a bunch of FN's in Japan. I have nothing against Japan or the Japanese I just couldn't see the logic. |

Not really, it sucks. I want to get started and make some coin.
Whining about it changes nothing.
Nobody needs the emotional vomit.
I just have a long term approach and am not that concerned about it.
It's only money. If you can't see how little value money is compared to things of real value, by all means be upset.
But nobody cares about your feelings.
If we all took your attitude we would simply let coin developers walk all over us and dictate the market, while we hope that one day we might see a profit, no community in that. Successful Altcoins are built on trust and the strong beliefs of the community who then invest their hard earned cash. And any savvy coin holder would NOT really solo stake when they are up against pools of billions unless they are using it for trades or their wallet is so big it doesn't matter, or something else mentioned. |

How did they get their nodes?
They held it in their own wallet while staking and created nodes with their own held coin.
They didn't give up that control to another.
I'm dependent on the pool admin for my coin but I gave up control in favor of growth.
These holders have an advantage they created themselves. "Being played" assumes the worst based on your assumptions based on your assessment stemming from the negative attitude.
Nobody played you. You made decisions
Hanlons razor:

Stop pushing out philosophical turd burgers, I guess you soooo happy the way things are going |

As mentioned before the B3 Fundamental Nodes are not working as intended. The code behind these FN is fixed and an announcement will be released very shortly. More and more FN will be created balancing the rewards for everyone and billions of B3 will be burned further reducing the supply. The FN which have been receiving all of the stakes are test nodes and their stakes will be burned which will balance out supply.
Rubbish, several members have had multiple FN blocks, check discord. The reason I am being so vocal is that I hate to see people being played, I hold B3 but I don't care. Justify allowing FN nodes during the 10,000 staking period and what benefit this was to the overall community. |
