I asked the vircurex support if they can forward my bug report to the owner but no reaction at all from them. I wonder if that is the general reaction on support requests at vircurex but it would be a bad sign for vircurex too, if so.
I had a support issue a 2 years ago (with vircurex) .. it took them 3 days to answer. one4many Then it might be the type of request i had.  Anyway, it seems cryptostocks is back since some hours. Still the email functionality only works for the issuers, who receive their daily list of shareholders. But not for the normal user. I'm not sure if kumala only added this now but at the bottom in settings there is a button to check if one can receive emails from cs. Though i can't receive emails from them. And my emailprovider is not blocking anything since i control it somewhat. The strange thing is that it worked months ago, now not anymore. Hmm ... I can't find that button. But I tried to withdraw some BTC and I got the message that the Wallet is offline. So I guess it is not fully fixed yet. |

I personally don't understand the motivation for keeping the optimization closed source, the pool in question operates 0% fee so there is no financial incentive to do so.
Today fee is zero, but tomorrow or at any other moment he can increase a percent of fee.  This short sighed view in turn creates a mono culture of again, like we had for nearly 2 years with ypool. And we know where that ended. 450.000 RICs stuck in the owners wallet. one4many I have recently discussed the situation with ypool admin, and would like to share that ypool intends to re-open in the coming weeks without support for ric mining. However user coins are all safe and you will be able to withdraw them after the pool re-opens. At last some good news. I would be nice of him to announce the reopening here in the forum/thread. Still sad to see that mining RIC is not supported anymore. Can you explain why he decided against it? My guess is, that the faster closed source miner competition on simba83's 0% RiePool drove him out of business. Full steam ahead to another mono-pool RIE culture again  one4many |

Ich habe den Eindruck die Leute da sind unverändert seit langem überwiegend kritisch eingestellt. Wie kommt das?
Neid und Missgunst spielen eine Rolle, denke ich. Oder sie haben einfach Angst tief zu fallen, wenn Sie etwas zu stark befürworten. Schlechte Nachrichten und Pessimismus haben in der Presse schon immer mehr Geld/Leser gebracht. Der Mensch ist einfach zu empfänglich für schlechte Nachrichten, weil er meistens aus Niederlagen lernt und nicht aus Erfolgen. |

Today fee is zero, but tomorrow or at any other moment he can increase a percent of fee. I agree ... That is one of the reasons on my list. First get rid of the competition and then cry wolf that running a 0 % pool is too expensive and ask for 5 % over night. The only thing that happens for sure is that as long there a 0 % fee and a closed source optimization based on open source software, more and more miners will use the pool because they would give RICs away not doing so. This short sighed view in turn creates a mono culture of again, like we had for nearly 2 years with ypool. And we know where that ended. 450.000 RICs stuck in the owners wallet. The only think for sure is that Simba84 is going to hurt the coin in one way or another. His selfishness already created a mono pool coin again (with more than 75 % of all coins mined at the pool, today) which is against the idea and spirit of a distributed crypto currency. Also Simba84's statement not to comment on the subject speaks for itself. I for myself have stopped mining the coin and sold all of it, the risk is simply to high that one day coins become worthless over night because of a single persons stubbornness. Only advise to the miners: Please use a different pool so that Riepool is not above the 49 % in the network, the RICs you loose now not having the optimization is lower than the loss you have to swallow when it becomes worthless. Another idea for the devs of crypto currencies would be to "decentivize" nodes (like halving their reward) in the RIC network when they create more than 50 % of the networks currency at any given time. This of course needs some deep thinking. But with modern algorithms which are able to detect patterns in certain cluster constellations, it should not be too difficult to identify those nodes, even when they are shape shifting (new coin addresses, new IP addresses, etc). This would also get rid of the people who benefit from dDOSing certain pools to insta/solo-mine while the rest is down. So Simba84 ... please be a good RIC community member and share your optimizations to increase pool/miner diversity, which for sure helps the coin to become more valuable. Also in the spirit of science we could have a higher difficulty and find more special prime numbers. Thanks to 'dga', the author if the original optimizations we already did, but higher world records with new optimizations are always better. It will get the coin noticed in the world. one4many |

My observation: Cryptostocks does not work when a Cryptsy problem.
Cryptostocks somehow connected with Cryptsy
I don't think so ... |

That's what the initial press release said - 184GH from immersion, 140 max on air cooling. I figured 11W 100GH would be a good practical setpoint for a production miner; gives you room to play up or down if voltage is adjustable.
100 GH/s * 50000 (the minimal order for getting those puppies done at a reasonable cost) means 5 PH/s for the network within 1 to 2 months after you can buy them. Over the course of 1/2 year and more chips, let's assume just 1.000.000 of those we have hash rate of around 100 PH/s more in the net. We are going to crack the ExaHash/s this year easily. |

Why do not you ask those who have developed the miner for gpupool.com to release their source code or who has released the binary of "Riecoin_mining_proxy" without source?
I did ask for the mining proxy's code. The gpupool code is not relevant because it has (at least in my eyes) no real value to the community, because the author did not improve the mining algorithm, something everyone could benefit from. Let's not all be too hasty, might be a bit of language barrier here as well but Simba84 has provided a 0% pool for Riecoin and an improved miner so obviously he shows support, now I have not tried the miner personally but maybe the right thing to do would at least make it work for any pool so that all might benefit and evaluate the results for themselves. The source actually already is available, it's only gatra's fork of the python stratum server, minus some of the other coin algo's stuff coded in there so I could get the darn thing to build on windows, the hardest part to figure out how to get around the epoolreactor requirement when using windows since we only want to use python, instead of it being a twisted internet service type of application. Now, of course I did write a loader for it and added a simple dev fee and to be honest I'll have to back track quite a bit if someone wanted an exact copy of the current proxy but as I had mentioned before I had been working on some simple web stats for the proxy and it more or less has morphed into a complete integrated mining pool now. I have even sort of coined the name 'WIMP' for windows integrated mining pool. Payouts are made p2pool style right in the coinbase with a similar time based pplns payout system. Moving forward I have solved most of the compilation issues with other algo's like scrypt and x11 etc... so pool can support most all coins. I'm probably a week or two from completion but all code will be open source and available on github but I won't clog up the this thread with all that discussion. Here's a little teaser, all the found blocks are real and can be found in the riecoin block chain if you want to view the payouts, even shows up as p2pool in the block explorer.  http://postimg.org/image/as9ldzoul/Note: the weird looking address is pool even accepts mining key. Nice piece of work rascal71, looking forward to look through the code. A proper p2pool solution is something this coin needs. one4many |

Considered that some users want only to debate (perhaps out of jealousy?) about my work, from now I will be more than happy to answer to any technical request or related to problems with the pool or the miner.For all the other nonsense comments you not expect my reply.Subjects who speak backdoor on xptMiner .... but let us pleasure!  I remind everyone that you are free to mine how and where it seems more appropriate Thank you all As I wrote before, I could not pay you anything more than respect on the work you have done. But keeping code from a sharing community is NOT how a community works. So my call to boycott still stands until you release the code to everybody else. I even go as far as calling out Gatra and dga to make a comment about your behavior. If they think all is fine, I guess all I can do is sell my mined RIC and abandon the coin. one4many P.S.: Also please prove that there IS NO backdoor in your code. |

As I said it favors the smaller miners, the ones with the big hashes would be better off solo mining.
Orphans with such a small network of clients (~60 for RIC) and adequate hash power are highly unlikely.
I've been solo mining for months now and had not a single orphan.
one4many
P.S.: I would recommend to boycott riepool because it is a closed source project. This is not in the spirit of an open and sharing community. Further down the road we will end up in a ypool scenario: Nearly everybody mines on riepool until it falls of the planet (in some way or another). Mayham again :-(
After your last statement I do not think you are a very serious and respectful of Riecoin! I could say the same thing about you: Boycott what?? Hard work of months and months of me turned only to improve the development of the whole platform??
I pay you respect for the hard work, but that's about it. Nobody deserves anything else than respect, unless they have a fee for it (in case of pools) or mine for themselves. Something they can keep, because they earned it (RIC or respect). Why do not you ask those who have developed the miner for gpupool.com to release their source code or who has released the binary of "Riecoin_mining_proxy" without source?
I did ask for the mining proxy's code. The gpupool code is not relevant because it has (at least in my eyes) no real value to the community, because the author did not improve the mining algorithm, something everyone could benefit from. You say "closed project" a FREE feeless pool where EVERYONE can mine with a optimized miner that required months of hard work?
Still not a free pool. a) You keep the optimizations for yourself, so nobody other than the miners on your pool can benefit from it. Seems pretty unfair to me if you look at it from a community point of view. b) Look at what happened to cryptsy, a book door in software they had running on their machines made them bankrupt. So WHO besides you, says your software does not have a backdoor? Let's say we all mine for a year on your pool, then you use the backdoor to empty our RIC wallets, if your miner for whatever (insane) reason runs on the same machine as the wallet. Maybe not a so far fetched scenario if you think that not many people own big computer farm and mine with their (one and) only personal PC. c) In the spirit of freedom you trample on Gatra's coin with selfishness. Would you have started to mine a coin where the client has been closed source? Probably not ... So why do you deploy this unsocial tactic now? d) To your understanding of FREEDOM OF CHOICE. You must be from some country which has no real democratically elected regime, if you really believe that having ONLY ONE CHOICE to choose from (which currently has an unfair advantage over others) seems right. RiePool will have a long life... in some way or another...
Those where the same words form Ypool A good RIE coin community member shares, like 'Gatra' or 'dga' or the countless other who wrote and improved the pool software you are using right now. one4many |

I finished the upgrading of the entire structure of mining. You should no longer experience disconnects and/or slowdowns. Meanwhile, I'm finishing fixes some bugs on xptMiner 2.0 for Linux and will soon be available to download the version 2.1 Thanks for your support and happy mining  There is a problem in your mine pool, I dug 24 blocks in the mine pool, 1200 coins, mine pool only to give me 780 coins. I want to know why? I dig coins in the XpoolX, if you dig 24 blocks, 1200 coins, mine pool at least 1000 coins to me. On large pools, with lots and lots of users AND with a lot of hash power you don't get as much as with little pools, where only a few users have a low hash rate. This is essentially how PPLNS works. My personal recommendation is, if you find a minimum of 4 RIC blocks a day, try SOLO mining. one4many Depends on luck. PPLNS was developed to avoid pool hopping, not to favor bigger miners. http://give-me-coins.com/support/faq/what-is-pplns/The only advantage of solo mining is avoiding fees (and helping decentralisation, but that's another story). But watch for network latency as you may get more orphans than the pool, so less coins in the end. As I said it favors the smaller miners, the ones with the big hashes would be better off solo mining. Orphans with such a small network of clients (~60 for RIC) and adequate hash power are highly unlikely.

Can modify the wallet program, so he directly supports Stratum protocol.
Does anybody know of a coin that has stratum directly in the daemon? I could merge it into RIC if I found one. Otherwise, implementing getwork or gbt in the miners would be faster Never seen something like this. So go for getwork, or write a XPT to Getwork proxy in Python for example (which should be even easier to implement). someone tryed https://github.com/archit120/xptProxyI've seen it a while ago, this is faaaaarrrr from ready to be used. |

Hello everyone! I made a few improvements to xptMiner 2.0 (now version 2.1) for the management of reconnections and other minor bugs. I recommend everyone to use this revision downloadable on RiePool's HomePage or directly from the following link: http://riepool.ovh/downloads/New_Windows64_xptminer.zipFor the moment it is available to download for Windows OS but will soon be released even the revised version for Linux. Thanks for your suggestions to enhance the miners! Anyhow, where is the source? one4many |

It seems that more and more pages are using Bootstrap and hence they seem to look more and more alike. I see this as a positive thing, as users are confronted with a similar GUI but it takes away a large part of the unique look. Who are we? Cryptostocks is run by the same group of people who run https://vircurex.com. As such I believe we have proven over the past 9 months that we are running a secure and sound business and earned the trust of our customers. vircurex is still working then, are they still run by the same people. Thing is the stock should not be reliant on the exchange for value so its not quite as bad as when coin exchange with deposits fails in service If they are still owned by the same people then it's strange that vircurex still runs fine while cryptostocks is abandoned. At least they should have asked the issuers to move the stocks to vircurex then. +1 But it might also be a sign that virurex.com will share the same fate in the near future. I'm going to stop trading with them and withdraw all my funds. |

Merc84: it doesn't reconnect. It just goes back to the command prompt after a 10 second timeout
Hello, if you're talking about xptMiner 2.0 I have not encountered yet this problem. I will check better by doing some tests. Thank you for reporting Simba84, So when are you going to make the code public? From a license point of view it is open-source and the modifications must be open-source as well. one4many |

Hey guys. What do I need to do to have xptminer automatically restart after disconnecting from the mining server. I am running Ubuntu on this particular computer.
Try something like this: while /bin/true; do ./xptminer-xxxxxx -param1 -param arg2;sleep 10;done
This will restart the xptminer in a loop forever with a 10 second wait in between. one4many |
