i've been using kminer for more than a week. it's actually pretty decent, hash slightly faster than claymore's in my system and also very stable. what i like about it best is it only takes 0.7% fee and that CPU usage tops at around 0.6%. claymore's usually hovers around 6-8% and could go beyond 10% in my system. another thing i liked about this miner is that it forced claymore to drop his fee to 2.5%. competition is good.

i am all for this. i would prefer though that bushido and/or http://www.reddit.com/user/a432511 still lead the development.

also, if we can do away with the "price level" talk then that would be nice as well. if it comes, it will come. if not then we soldier on. the most important thing is to get the development rolling (if it's currently grinding) and the developers engaged.

you may already have bitmonerod running or another process is listening on port 18080. do a ps to check if bitmonerod is running. if it's not then there is something else listening on port 18080.

not that hot. probably just mildly hotter than X11. it is likely that the miner is still not at optimum. i suspect some private miners are hashing much faster. perhaps even claymore is running a version that is much faster. no proof of course

somebody knows something. please share

thanks for the script. it works great after fixing this small typo/bug.

change:


to:

wallet v1.0.4.1 is working great. thanks for the fix devs.

delete StealthCoin blockchain dir under Roaming dir. be sure to backup wallet and/or do dumppriv.

upon starting wallet, you will get stuck on a block. the first block iirc is 5310. just close wallet and reopen. repeat everytime wallet get stuck on a block. you could be doing this 5 or (way) more times. this is the only way i was able to sync. it's a pita. i have been on this path before, got synced and then got out of sync again. so far i have stayed sync but it's only been 4hrs or so. knocking on wood, keeping fingers crossed.

to those calling people trolls for expressing their frustration, stop it. if you can't offer any help then just stfu. just be content you are not having issues. because these issues are REAL. they are not made up. the workaround will sometimes work and sometimes don't. again, properly working wallets don't need this silly workarounds. it's time-consuming and not fun at all. the dev(s) need to step up and freakin acknowledge this issue then fix it.

i have already posted a log. if that didn't help then i suggest the dev(s) (or anyone of you lucky folks making fun of "sockpuppet trolls") go through what we have gone through, delete your blockchain dir and try to sync from empty. if you can sync straight through without getting stuck on a block then post here and i'll admit this to be a non-issue, just a freakish nightmare affecting only us "sockpuppet trolls".

i haven't read the whole thread so i don't know if you have already posted that "sockpuppet trolls" like us need to post logfiles. you might want to post that on the first page so it can easily be seen. here's mine:

and just because people are complaining about issues doesn't mean they are "sockpuppet trolls". and with quite a few reports then you must acknowledge that something might be amiss.

you might want to delete your blockchain directory and try syncing your wallet from scratch, if you haven't yet done so. hopefully you'll see what we are seeing.

i think it's the other way around. i think you are one of very lucky few who are not having problems. i had it successfully synced ~14hrs ago. i copied the blockchain to 3 other machines and they are synced as well at that time. now all of them are out of sync again. this issue needs a developer's attention. i can't go through the process of closing/reopening the wallet again, every time it gets stuck. fully functioning wallets does not need silly things like that. is it a seed nodes issue? a tor issue? whatever it is, get it fixed or die trying.

yeah, that's the first thing i did. that trick is probably way past its "use by date". i think the problem is more serious than what a close/reopen wallet and/or "delete everything" in blockchain directory trick can fix.

not working at my end as well. a fresh windows 8 install and a fresh wallet installation. kept it open for almost 24hrs now. stuck at block 9026. sometimes it will display the "~NNN blocks remaining" at the bottom and then it'll disappear, which on normal wallets would mean it is synced but the "(out of sync)" message never goes away. then it repeats the cycle. so yeah, it's pretty much broken. do you have any steps to get this to sync properly? delete everything? probably not gonna work at my end because i started clean.

if you want to be Robinhood, be noble and giving back to the people their 50% hashrate then release your code. That's the only way you can gain trust and confidence in here. Otherwise, using your proxy will be like playing Russian roulette.

there are now close to 400 cryptos, getting confused is understandable and you are confused stilll, vertcoin is VTC

no, vertcoin does not use a mixer. it uses what's called a stealth address for privacy, not for anonymity. the distinction is very important to vertcoin folks.

are you a miner? are you mining vtc currently? how much is the power rate where you are at? i'm mining vtc currently. i'm paying 0.21 $/Kwh and so i'm mining at a loss. just like pretty much anyone mining vtc right now. that is, if we mine and dump as you claimed. but only a fool would do that and only a bigger fool would claim such.

the price is falling yet the difficulty remains pretty much the same. that tells you that miners are still hashing. we're mining for what's to come and not for daily profit because there is none to be had right now. you would know this if you are a miner. that ~6-7Ghs network hashrate is pure belief, faith in the coin. if that doesn't give you confidence then nothing can.

i would just like to ask if you have already posted somewhere the wallet address(es) of the premines. if not then don't you think it's about time? price is down the gutter with no volume and hashrate is now just around 100Mhs. amazing people are still mining this and there's not even a talk about a fix to the kgw timewarp exploit. with such a low network hashrate this coin would be a good proof-of-concept for the exploit.

this is just plain stupid. if you want to help the families of mh370 go donate some of your bitcoins/litecoins/fave alt coin to the appropriate foundations. however pure your intentions are, you would just come off as an illiterate, vile lowlife. there are some things in this world you just can't capitalise on. people's grief and suffering are some of those things. have some delicadeza.

perhaps not "VRT" but maybe VTC will

apparently, IPO buyers got them cheap, which was at 70 satoshi. at least this is what i have read. they could sell at 100 and still make a profit. if you're a miner, like i was who mined at launch where diff rose quickly as always is the case with all coin launches, the current rate won't even begin to cover electricity cost. i have stopped mining and haven't check the current diff but the coins that i mined will break even at 600 satoshi. i'm gonna be waiting a long time for that to happen. that said, this was a good launch.

for those that still don't know, this is being traded on bittrex. again, not for miners. not yet.

https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-H2O

it's a nice "little" exchange. quick and pretty stable. well made. they have a wallet status page, which is i really like. i hope they gain foothold and not choke right now, they are just an exchange for these coins-of-the-day, which is a shame.
