Hi Bitsta!


I do understand and have always understood this.

I was just stating out the fact that "it would be nice to know" - not that it would be your job to provide the answers.


Yes. It still baffles me, why minerpools (which doesn't exactly have a bad reputation either) and cloudminers both seem to be experiencing similar kinds of problems with ROOT, while being able to provide mining for many other coins with no problems whatsoever. It is difficult not to make the conclusion that there has to be a common denominator other than the lack of competence.


Yes, this has become clear by now. It just doesn't help much us who were left behind. Not that it would be anyone's fault per se - it's simply a fact that experiencing unjust experiences is a depressing thing, and I personally have this tendency to wish to be able to eliminate or at least minimize the amount of all kinds of sorrow and suffering from this world. Even if it was something as trivial as loosing hashing power.


I have not had any doubts about the above fact nor your honesty at any point.


That wound be wonderful indeed! The reason why I was hoping to mine some was to be able to provide the initial funds for the exchange myself. I'll PM you my contact details in a moment. There's no hurry with this - it will take at least weeks before the exchange is ready for launching.

Yes, it also took about two hours before I begun getting anything from suprnova.

The point is, many of us used 12+ hours and lots of power at minerpools (and apparently some other pools as well) without ever getting a single fragment of a ROOT.

Whatever it is, something definitely is/was wrong with some of the pools.

You are perfectly right about this.

Still, it would be nice to be able to provide some compensation to those who were left at the station after so much waiting and effort.

I'm not saying that's bitsta's responsibility either. Perhaps I'll be able to do something about it myself later on.

root.cloudminers.net appears to be virtually shut down - zero hash rate, zero miners.

Bitsta, I find it hard to believe there is not something wrong somewhere.

I'm not saying you are to blame. Just feeling unease for this unsolved mystery.

It would be nice to know where and why all the power I put to the initial 12+ hours went.

Now trying to catch up but it's really difficult at this point. I'm at 0.2 ROOT and crawling...

I'd like to get some of the loss back by adding ROOT to the Vertaisvaluutta exchange that will be opened within a month or two.

Vertaisvaluutta is Finnish for peer currency.

My name is Jyri and I'm the lead designer / controller for the project.

And I am not saying the problems are to be blamed on Bitsta - quite the opposite.

Just willing to get this sorted out so all of us who lost their investment would at least know what happened.

Hmm, sorry to hear this.

Sorry for spending the first 12+ hours mining for nothing at minerpools as well. =/
 

So it seems. Minep.it has found one block and the hashrate is low so seems legit over there.


I do wonder, what on earth went wrong at minerpools. Lots of hashing power was lost there, resulting in many unhappy miners.

Minerpools has had hashrate of over a GH and still not a single block found during the whole time.

Now the rate is down to ~300 MH since people have given up.

From root.minerpools.com:

I mined over 12 hours at root.minerpools.com and did not receive anything during the whole time.

Switched over to root.suprnova.cc and got the first fragments within couple of hours.

Some of the pools definitely do seem to have a problem.

It would be nice if someone(s) could look into it.

I am not happy for the fact that I spent so much time hashing away without getting any reward at all.

Now getting little bits through suprnova but lost earnings of at least half a day.

Ok. I've been mining for over 12 hours at Minerpools and have received nothing.

Something does not seem right.

In the end, that depends on users and exchange maintainers - not the developer.

The developer does not wish ROOT to end up in any exchanges too early.

On the other hand, it's not in his power to decide, whether or not an exchange takes ROOT on it's lists.

Just out of curiosity: is there anyone reading this thread who has actually managed to mine even a fragment of a ROOT? =P

Same here - not a fragment received as of yet.

Hi!


Great, I appreciate you experience and input!


This was new to me and it definitely has to be taken into account. Thanks for bringing it into my attention!


While you're an expert in HAM radio, I'm a systems and network architect with similar experience to yours (20 years). I know my stuff when it comes to protocols. Using UDP is not reinventing anything; it merely means providing a more cost efficient alternative to the overly heavy TCP.


Maybe it's finally time to learn to love each other then.

Very interesting!

The files are identical - here are the SHA1 sums:

6c9c7440cac3becccf570761494a2650a2795c5a *rootcoin-qt-v1.1.0.0-win32_MEGA.zip
6c9c7440cac3becccf570761494a2650a2795c5a *rootcoin-qt-v1.1.0.0-win32_DROPBOX.zip

Both are perfectly clean. There is not a hint of malware in these files.

The warning was definitely just a Chrome glitch. No reason to be alarmed.

I will. However, I can already tell with 99,9% certainty that the scam warning was just a glitch in Chrome. =)

I can confirm this. Checked with Emsisoft Anti-Malware with paranoid settings.

Perfect! Great work! =)

Dear bitsta,

if the issues you're having have anything to do with server (hardware or software) or network level stuff, I'll be happy to assist you in any way I can.

Got a long and thorough experience of solving mysteries on that front.

However, I have a hunch the obstacles have to do with the wallet(s) or the protocol, in which case I may not be able to do that much.

Please PM me if you think you could use my help.

Take care, and stay strong! Been up for almost 48 hours over here too so I can relate to your current state of being...

Yours,

Jyri [Vertaisvaluutta.fi]

P.S. Rootcoin is looking very interesting indeed! Wonderful work! When the hassle is over, I'd love to have a thorough chat with you regarding the BitKey.
