Code:


{
"blocks" : 5851,
"currentblocksize" : 1687,
"currentblocktx" : 3,
"difficulty" : {
"proof-of-work" : 283.05034418,
"proof-of-stake" : 0.15182615,
"search-interval" : 1
},
"blockvalue" : 1000000000000,
"netmhashps" : 24810.04023179,
"netstakeweight" : 9475834.49314684,
"errors" : "",
"pooledtx" : 3,
"stakeweight" : {
"minimum" : 56569,
"maximum" : 0,
"combined" : 56569
},
"stakeinterest" : 1000000,
"testnet" : false
}

What does this part mean?

"stakeweight" : {
"minimum" : 56569,
"maximum" : 0,
"combined" : 56569
},


Only those who have 56K are able to mine PoS?

Just got my deposit on mintpal

anyone having issues depositing BC on Mint?


Sent some BC there about half hour ago. More than required 10 confirmation, but coins not even in pending deposits on MintPal.

Hit 3000 satoshi on cryptorush.in & keep rising.

rat4, you mentioned that issue with inability to unlock wallet for PoS mining is fixed in new version. When can we expect one? Block 5000 is near, so it would be good to be ready to mine.

it is already in the 1.0.1 wallet

No, it is not. Wallet 1.0.1 introduced this issue.

BC is first on cryptosurh.in voting page:

We might consider splitting p2pool into 2 (or even more) independent networks.
This will make p2p mining easier for small miners & improve overall DDoS-resistance of network.

rat4, what do you think? This will require some changes in p2pool code. I thing changing network ID should be enough.

Is it ok if I use the same username (i.e. wallet address) for all my miners in a p2pool? And if my miners are weak independently, do having them use the same username help to avoid the situation of not getting paid because of too low hashrate?
Yes, you can point several workers to mine for single payout address. Their work will be counted together.

Oh and also, if you don't specify the difficulty in the username what is the default? Is it likely to drop below the not-gonna-give-u-any-coins limit?
Not sure about what is default - there vardiff algorithm and it will change constantly. But even if diff assigned to your worker will be less than minimal you will be paid only for shares that meet required diff.


I have a question or two about P2Pool -- I get a lost of stratum connection reset while P2Pool mining -- is that normal?

No, this is not normal. Add other p2pool nodes as fallback into your cgminer conf. Specify the same payout address for all of them.
This will save your shares in case when main node is down.

Want to clarify how p2pool works - for those who wonder why they don't get payouts.
In p2pool there is such thing like "minimal paid share difficulty". Its value depends on overall pool rate and it changes quite often.
Only shares with difficulty above this minimum will be paid. All other shares are just for calculating your hashrate and basically don't affect you payout.
Currently minimal difficulty on black coin p2pool is 0.08 - this means that paid shares are those which have diff above 0.08*65536, i.e. 5242.

Another thing to take into account is that p2pool works on PPLNS system. When pool finds block it pays only for X last shares submitted to it from all user, not for all shares since last block. This mean that you shall be lucky enough to have your share in this "window" of X shares.
More detailed info is here: http://pool-x.eu/aboutpplns

Summary: in order to get payout for particular block you shall have at least one paid share submitted during pool's round window. This might be problematically for miners with low hashrate when p2pool becomes large (and therefore paid share diff increases) - they might consider jumping to regular pools.

And one more: all p2pool nodes posted here are part of single p2pool and there is no any difference where you mine your coins. The only thing you might want to check is server latency. So, choose the one that is closer to you.

My rig was running since yesterday on p2p pool and it worked very well. But I just came home and recognized that I get last payout at 11:09 (local time, now itīs 19:00). So I missing payouts for 8 hours...a lot of coins!!! Whatīs going on here?

I updated wallet (1.0.1) but it shows the same values. I just connected to another p2p pool and waited for 3 blocks but donīt get payout. Whatīs wrong here?

Please donīt ask if my wallet address is the right one...it worked till 11:09 oīclock in the morning!

THX

What is your hashrate? Mining on p2pool might be harder if your have low hashrate

Just keeping it open should allow it.

Only if your wallet is not passphrase-protected

UPGRADE TO v1.0.1 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
HARD FORK AT BLOCK 5000

i just upgraded to v1.0.1
the version number in the "About" window shows v 1.0.0.0
please change this to prevent confusion

thanks

I can confirm this.  wallet says  v1.0.0.0-g32a928e

Same here. Also I can't unlock wallet for POS mining.
Trying to unlock in console with walletpassphrase command. It completes successfully, but wallet still show ""Stake miner suspended due to locked wallet."

Is it ok to shutdown the wallet, update it, start it again if I have coins in the Immature state?

Yes
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] BlackCoin (BC) | Launched | scrypt | PoS | No premine on: February 25, 2014, 12:45:25 PM
that richest address thing is wrong. dont believe me? look up your own address

It shows correct info for my address.

Has ANYONE successfully gotten black coins in their wallet yet?


They are starting appear only now.
I'm mining almost from launch and now get 200 coins confirmed. Other are still immature (mining on p2pool)
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] BlackCoin (BC) | Launched | scrypt | PoS | No premine on: February 24, 2014, 03:53:37 PM
So what's the consensus?

Is this a good to mine?

If it's anything like MINT it should be a good coin. So when will the POW portion of this coin cease?

Definitely interesting one. Fair start, no shity premine or IPO.
POW rewards will be stopped next Monday (approx.) and there will be only 100 millions BC.

Diff 70  Shocked

Hashcows was on it for 15 minutes with 1.6 gh/s.  It will go back down in a bit.

Hashcows mining coin that is not even on exchange yet? Interesting...
