It depends on how conscientious they are about mining it. If they mine within tolerance it should be OK, If they hit it with the big hammer it will no doubt be F'd again. |

Excuse my ignorance, but how does increasing the market and price of smartcoin, make it so it can support a higher difficulty range?
Easy, the higher the difficulty the harder it is to find a block. Or, it takes more hashing to find each block every time the difficulty increases. More hash rate requires more machines using more electricity to find the same number of coins. Miners are struggling to make ends meet so they go wherever they can to find the best value for their efforts. The higher the value the more revenue there is to attract and maintain a larger workforce. The larger the workforce the less vulnerable the coin is to attacks by large farms or pools. That was the point I was trying to make. FYI: It took well over an hour at 275MH to find that high difficulty block. That's 17 computers running 99 video cards to find 16 Smartcoins worth 130 satoshi's each (at the moment). |

26 hours of smc wallet not synching?
I know psionin has done good work for smartcoin, but he had said he is only part-time dev,
and there is a lack of communication at times, we are left in doubt what is going on with the wallet not synching intermittently like this? It has less to do with the wallet and more to do with idiot miners. The wallet is not syncing because somebody put 3+ GH on it and drove the difficulty up over 100 which in turn makes it nearly impossible to find a block at the average hash rate that SmartCoin normally attracts so nobody is mining it, therefore no blocks are being found and the wallet has fallen out of sync. I suppose from a developers standpoint the gravity well might be modified to make it less susceptible to this type of attack, but other than that there is not much that can be done other than increasing the market and price to a point where it can support a higher difficulty range. I will do as did the last time and mine it back down to a reasonable difficulty but chances are that they are just going to come back and do it again in a few more days. The stupid part is that they can only get a very few profitable blocks and then the rest is just a cost to them.  ...  |

Hi,
I looked at comkort trade page for SMC, and it says:
"Last block for SMC wallet has been seen 14 hours ago. All operations for SMC disabled untill new block will be found."
Is it true?
Some idiot with more hash power than brains drove the difficulty up to 111!!!... Either that or they did it on purpose.  AH, found a couple of blocks. the difficulty is just horrible now instead of insane. |

blocks are fast, this is one of fastest [if not the fastest] coins running
According to everything I've read the target block time is supposed to be 40 seconds, according to the pool stats that I've checked the average block time is more like 13.5 seconds... What is the actual target time? |

Please spread the hashes around the pools and don't stick to Suprnova !
Better chance of that happening if the nonce-pool link in the OP worked. |

I may try taking this over, since there seems to be little development from the current developers. I just need the time to go through the source and back-engineer it.
You have my vote. There is no current developer. OmarG was the last dev, but it looks as though he has left the crypto world completely. |

Somebody did it again! Difficulty is 100 now.
Any idea of when the gravity well will be fixed?
Ridiculous isn't it? I'm chatting with the dev right now to see if we can address this sooner than later. -dvd Sad to say but it's just screwed until the wallet is fixed  Mining pool hub regulars have given up and now it's somebody else that's exploiting the vulnerability. It sucks, you try to doabitofgood and some conscience void money grabber breaks the whole thing for the sake of a couple of bucks. You should probably leave it stuck until the wallet is fixed, at least that way the ill gotten gains will be stuck in limbo for a while.  If you take a look at mining pool hub blocks page it shows up like clockwork, they chip their way through 10 blocks at high difficulty then poof 20 low difficulty blocks are gone the difficulty is back up and the process repeats itself. It looks like the mining pool hub regulars have now given up along with me. Between the 2 of us we had a consistent 800 MH, and whoever is doing this blew past us like we weren't even there. let me know if you need any testing the new wallet.  |

my wallet is stuck at block 171032 Sun Feb 22 20:21:21 2015 We're all there at the moment: http://explorer.2givecoin.info/chain/GIVEcoinTHIS is the problem with the Kimoto Gravity Well (KGW) function that we're working to replace ASAP. Pools jump in when the difficulty is low and pop blocks often seconds apart and then the difficulty ramps up quickly leaving us all hung. doabitofgood.com has a dedicated miner online working round the clock to try and stabilize it, but it's easily over powered. We're exploring either a 'minimum block time' function or another implementation like DigiShield (used in dogecoin) difficulty 57  Looks like mining pool hub is the main culprit. Perhaps someone should explain to them that their coin switcher is killing this coin... or maybe they already realize since their last 10 blocks have been hanging in the unconfirmed void for a couple of days. I could put some hash on it to help out, but there's not much sense if they are just going to flip the switch again and put the difficulty back through the roof. |

With all of that said, if you have ideas on how to grow the community or suggest another round of developments, please do that here or via PM.
A gpu friendly algo would be nice. I would happily come back and mine it. I could set up pool as well.  |

Waouh ! Lots of blabla in the last pages ! What's the "standard" hashrate on a 6950 for the SPR sgminer ? Thanks a lot I get 1.2mh on a 6970 |

Hello
I tried to send some coins from my wallet to Poloniex and haven't received them.
Is there something wrong with the network?
It took a full day for mine to show up at Poloniex |

Regarding the code to disconnect from invalid versions, it is present currently. I did make the mistake of reusing a protocol version of a Hirocoin wallet that did not have working dynamic rewards. However, the block chain would be stuck on those wallets and the newest wallet would display a warning only but still use the correct blockchain (longest one).
I have received and sent from my personal wallet with the warning displayed without a problem, however, when the problem occurs with my pool I can't mine on it until I resync... which is a pain in ass, and I do believe that is the reason that coinking dropped Hiro. Funny thing, if I keep a couple of machines on the pool it stays in sync but if they lose connection for any period of time it goes out of sync,,,??? |

I am able to do the source code changes and deliver new wallets (win, mac and source code).
Can you fix the wallet so that so that it will "effectively" block other versions? |

Just letting everyone know that I'm still around. I've been extremely busy lately and apologize for not updating the community earlier.
Please could you explain : -> witch protocol version is working, -> witch wallet version is usable. Because after having downgraded to 0.8.6.4 (protocol 70012) like asked in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=516349.0...it seems i loose all my sended coins !!!! I'm not very happy...... Nobody is happy when you open one of those old wallets. The current wallet is listed at the beginning of this thread. "version" : 70013, "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.8.6.6/", Hiro stopped updating the old thread, so the information there is quite outdated. |
