I think that XMR should change its algorithm.
My XMR blockchain was 6 days behind the network: 8600 blocks unsync-ed. It took me 40 minutes sync-ing the blockchain from 1h33 - 2h25 PM
That's a hash rate of 4/sec. Doubtful the PoW algorithm had much to do with this. What device is it? PoW is not the only difference between BBR and XMR. Another is many more transactions on XMR. Or you may simply have been connected to slower peers. Another difference is block interval - Monero have twice more blocks per day. Sure but why would he be syncing at only 4 blocks/sec? That's a very low rate. Digicoin, if you enable first logging level, we could see how long does it take to calculate PoW in message started from "+++++ BLOCK SUCCESSFULLY ADDED ...", it is a last number in Brackets. Put log's here and we could exactly see what time is spended on PoW. |

Same laptop: Dell Inspiron 15 - Intel Core i5 - 4200U 1.6 Ghz - 6 GB RAM. XMR is always much slower than BBR on my laptop. I open XMR wallet more often than BBR one: every day or every 3-4 days. XMR daemon is slow all the time. It is strange that BBR can sync the blockchain much much faster than XMR
There's no doubt that verification is slower with CryptoNight. That having been said, the reduced performance gap benefits vastly outweigh any "perception" benefits switching algorithms at this stage. If we switched algorithms it definitely wouldn't be to something that is as broken as Wild Keccak (no offence to BBR, I greatly respect what CZ has done), it would be to something technically superior to CryptoNight. If you really respect my work, bother to explain and prove that Wild Keccak is broken. Have you found the way to hack it ? Because if haven't - it's just a lie, once again. |

Could anyone please help with the following error? I'm building on a fresh AWS instance of Ubuntu 14.04, following the Hot to on boolberry.com. Final part, make -j and I get the following:
Don't use -j parameter if you have one CPU or a small amount of RAM Or enable virtual memory, if it is disabled |

Hi!  .... I means that an anonymity level of one specific tx doesn't depend on "forced mixin" flags in its outputs. This flag only influences future transactions. Yes, it is. Generating subset of such transactions in blockchain poviding a way of to do guaranteed anonymous transfers. ......
Unlock_time is different from the issue we are talking about because forced mixin introduces additional dependency links between transactions: spendability depends on output availability in the blockchain:
- without forced mixin txes depend on each other with strict OUTPUT->INPUT links.
- with forced mixin txes additionally depend on each other with weak OUTPUT -> OUTPUT links.
Why can't you implement spendability verification before accepting tx to mempool?
Whether it makes sense to take unspendable tx into blockchain?
You right about verification but you wrong about the place where it should be done - the problem of unspendable transaction is the wallet's problem, it is not problem of transaction pools or daemon in general. So additional verification and validation is planned to be done in wallet. Another problem with validation in transaction in daemon: for example i'm going to generate some amount of transactions with subset of guaranteed outputs (and i'll need to do that in future) - i know that i'm gonna do hundreds transactions with different amounts, and first transactions in this flow may look like unspendable (because other transactions in this subset is not received yet), than this will cause rejection of such transactions and imposibility to generate this subset in blockchain with such restrictions that you suggesting. |

I wanted to confirm if transactions will be accepted by the network even if it has no txfee for the miners
James
No. It won't be accepted. You need to set at least one fraction of coin. And in nearest releases i'm gonna add soft rule to avoid relay transactions with too small fee. |

guys what a mess.\\I WAS ABLE TO SOLO MINE WITH AMD GPU BEOFRE.
ive lost the file + right .bat\\now nobod yhere can say hwo ot solo mien with GPU even devs lol.
is thts a joke? ;x
Hey forzendiablo! Don't panic! What is your problem with https://github.com/mbkuperman/boolberry-opencl ? It's should work fine for solo mining. CUDA miner is not implemented for windows yet, as i said. |

trying to run the gui for linux but i am getting an error:
error while loading shared libraries: libQt5WebKit.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Help appreciated.
Are you running qt-boolb.sh ? I realize i don't have qt5 libaries installed, only have qt4. i dont want to break anything on my system so i will just stick with command line. (debian wheezy) You don't need to do any changes with your system. Package have all needed libs inside sub folder, qt-boolb.sh will only start executable with correct environment but doesn't touch your system. |

guys this thread is a mess. PLEASE EXPLAIN ME CLEARLY1. how to GPU mine 2. how to GPU solo mine 3. how to GPU mine a pool im on AMD 280x and please do not send me to OP. its too messy i REALLY cant fidn anything and want to mine this  Hello forzendiablo! I'm really sorry that we still don't have a clear manual for all these things. At this moment Mike is working on FAQ and i hope it will be finished ASAP. At this moment i could say: 1. We have GPU miner released from mbk: https://github.com/mbkuperman/boolberry-openclit's okay for solomining and also could works for pool mining with simpleminer. see instructions there. 2. we also have CUDA miner released by Wolf, most fast miner that we have, pool miner: https://github.com/wolf9466/bbr-cudaminerAs i know Wolf don't have windows builds yet. Are you looking for windows binaries or sources is okay? |

Great news!!! Thanks a lot! i'm really interested, if you CUDA is better than cbuchner's CUDA or not ? It is, according to him. He got 730kh/s or so on a stock 750Ti, I got 790kh/s on the same. And... this was when scratchpad was much smaller than now, so i guess your's miner is much faster. Great Job! |

We just need to wait for XMR dataset to exceed 4GB and all the 32bit windows users getting crashes. At the rate of blockchain growth, that is but a few months away.
32 bit windows has a 2gb user address space not 4gb and hasn't worked with xmr for months. Don't wait for this. btw: i saw today that you found a bug with time_t used in nodetool::peerlist_entry, so it seems that you still have running instances with 32-bit... or did i miss something ? |

Somehow I missed this. Are you suggesting that the odds of rebranding are better or did you mean better odds of the price going up? If rebranding, then wow!
re branding + different pow to save coin agree about rebranding but don't agree about pow, i still believe that our approach have future GPU-miners gonna help to stand against botnets, but as you may be know - memory As i could see - monero have this problem at that moment, very hight difficluty and price is still dumped. |

Hi amjuarez! How's it going ?! Glad to see you here! I was wondering what Bytecoin developers think about Boolberry's proposals on "solving CryptoNote flaws": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=697355.0The solution is basically the guaranteed anonymity. Here's the original quote: So what is the deal with Boolberry propopsal? Why wasn't the solution available in the original CryptoNote implementation? Has Boolberry actually improved the protocol? The unique solution in BBR is to add "required mixin" flag to outputs. First of all this idea doesn't provide guaranteed anonymity to sender.... It does, because it: ...FORCES other people to use some specific level of mixin factor in future transactions.... And this is precisely showed in our presentation. Sender and the transaction he creates aren't affected directly Surely, this transaction is a way of generating outputs with guaranteed anonimity. The potential problem goes from possible unspendable transactions in the blockchain: you can create an output with some very unusual amount and force addressee to spend it with big mixin factor. In case forced mixin factor is greater than number of outputs with the same amount in the blockchain this transaction will be unspendable for a long time. Addressee even will be unable to send this money back. Cryptocoin protocol SHOULD NOT allow such situations.
Dear amjuarez, you probably would be surprised, but Cryptocoin (you meant CryptoNote?) protocol already allow such situations. I know at least two different ways to generate unspendable transactions: 1. Generate transaction to fake output keys - it would be impossible to receive by anyone - you just burned coins. 2. Generate transaction with unlock_time = 0xffffffffffffffff or other big value - transaction will be received but still won't be ever spendable. So, you should agree that this is just a question of wallet's transaction validation, that can be easily implemented as for this case as for bbr's case that you was talked. |

our coin was hurt much by cbuchner/pttx private GPU miner(now we have open source GPU, it was released just more than week ago)
to be fair, it's probably better that he sells them as they come. it's a constant damper on the price but we'd have no future at all if he decided to just hold whatever huge amount of coins he mined! We were a team of four, and only two of us had the knowledge to run AWS farms. I never rented any AWS servers myself (surprise?) We sold off the majority of what we mined to cover operating costs, to limit risk and to secure profits - making us no different from any most other miners. Our big scale farming operations are now pretty much shut down due to lack of profitability. Some of us still do home mining with 750 Ti's or other gear. I still hold 15000 BBR as a long term investment. Yeah.... And you still have not released your miner  |
