the doubts about luck-2poc, now give an explanation：
1.This is testet, not prenet. After the mainnet launched, the project will start from the first block.
2.The file of Luck-2poc will be published on GitHub and will be notified to everyone on bitcointalk. As for why email registration is required, it is because our mining method has changed. We don’t know whether luck’s miners hold hard drives, and we also hope that real and reliable hard drive miners will participate in the test.
3.Every miner participating in the test will get the same resources on GitHub. For accounts that participate in the email registration, the data will be included in the test report.
4.Of course, we welcome the participation of hard disk miners. Email registration is to select honest miners, follow up on mining data, and give some token rewards. I believe that once mainnet launched, miners are also looking forward to knowing the test results in order to decide whether to participate.

1. Testnet or prenet? If testnet is created and destroyed before mainnet, it is called prenet (as it was in Bitcoin before Genesis Block in October 2008). So, will test coins be destroyed after testing or not?
2. Why registration by email? What was wrong with "binaries on website, sources on GitHub" release scheme?
3. Will everyone receive the same version? When getting binaries/sources by email, users can never be sure if someone else has some "better version". You could as well send everyone some unique version. There is no way of checking what other people received. Will we receive binaries only or also with source code?
4. Usually testnet coins receive less attention, as they are worthless and some people are waiting for mainnet (especially when there are lots of competing altcoins over there). Why limit that interest even more and release only by email, sending every version to every user by hand? Most recent problems were related to the network congestion, the more users will be there, the better tested software we will have.
I still have doubts, but I am ready to try it out, so I sent you mail.
Thank you for your attention,  and I will reply to your questions. 1.This is testet, not prenet.

Luck-2poc is about to enter the testing phase and is now recruiting hard disk miners. Luck-2poc is an upgraded version of Luck-2pow. As for why need to upgrade, the reasons are as follows: 1. Luck-2pow's community and miners are very good participants. As the value of luck gets higher and higher, it has attracted the attention of GPU professional miners. GPU participation monopolizes computing power and harms the interests of cpu miners. In order to protect the interests of the community, Luck-2pow once chose to upgrade the argon2d algorithm to the randomx algorithm. 2. As the Luck-2pow algorithm is upgraded to RandomX, the system begins to have synchronization difficulties, and as the number of new nodes increases and the blocks mined by the new algorithm increase, synchronization becomes more and more unstable. According to engineering and theoretical analysis, randomX uses a mutex Lock when calculating the hash value, and it takes about 1.5 seconds to calculate the hash value. When the number of nodes increases and the number of blocks that need to be synchronized increases, the instability of the system will increase dramatically. Then Luck-2pow is suspended. In order to protect the interests of the Luck-2pow community and miners, Luck-2pow was upgraded to Luck-2poc again. The reason is: Luck-2poc uses hard disk capacity for mining, in principle, GPU computing power monopoly will not be formed; in order to protect the interests of community miners, we have made a promise: We will give the same amount of Luck-2poc compensation to the accounts that holding Luck-2pow before the block 388,000. At the same time, rewards will be given to miners who participate in the Luck-2poc mining test. The reward mechanism is as follows: 1. Recruit new hard disk miners and give test rewards; 2. Users who sign up for participation are tentatively scheduled for 50 accounts. The first 20 registered miners will be rewarded with 800 tokens for each account; the remaining 30 registered miners will be rewarded with 400 tokens.; 3. Registration: Email to Sherlock.Holmes.luck@protonmail.com. 4. Test time: January 15, 2021 5. Test cycle: 2 weeks |

hello
After block #388000, algorithm has been upgraded to RandomX, the system began to have some problems such as synchronization, and as the number of new nodes increased and the blocks mined by the new algorithm increased, the synchronization became more and more unstable. According to our analysis, the RandomX use a mutual lock when calculating the hash value, and it takes about 1.5 seconds to calculate the hash value. When the number of nodes increases and the number of blocks that need to be synchronized increases, the instability of the system is dramatic increase.
From a long-term perspective, we still need to upgrade luck's algorithm, and the specific possible upgrade plan needs to be decided by everyone. Let me briefly talk about our thoughts, because the capacity consensus mechanism adopted by the POC mechanism naturally has the conditions to eliminate ASICs. If we change the design of 2POW to 2POC, which not only combines the advantages of POC, but also does not change the original intention of anti-pools, it may be a reasonable solution.
There are two solutions to the current problems caused by RandomX.
1 Export all the data before block #388000 and publicize it, and the system will stop. Until the new mechanism is implemented, the system restarts and sends the coins to the previous addresses through pre-mining.
2 We found that some nodes continue to use the old algorithm for mining after the block #388000. We will continue to keep the old algorithm for mining for the time being and close the algorithm RandomX. Until the new mechanism is implemented, it will be upgraded again through a hard fork.

hello
we just upload a new wallet to the website, someone who can't sync needs to download the newest wallet, clear the luck-data directory, and restart it.

Where to see the power of calculation? You can get it directly from your node, for example: #!/bin/sh
./luck attach ~/.luck/luck.ipc --exec 'for(var i=0;i<fort.blockNumber;++i){console.log(fort.getBlock(i).totalDifficulty);}' This command will print totalDifficulty for each block. You can save it to some text file and draw some chart using Excel or any other software. Edit: currently it looks like that, but I hope it will change after hard fork:  you do a good job. but i think luck value is more important than power. |

Hello
The update has been released and the new algorithm (RandomX) will take effect at block height 388000. You only need to download the newest windows/Linux wallet before the new algorithm takes effect.
In addition, the new node needs to be initialized when it starts up, the process will last for 5-7 minutes, just wait.

Hi devs, if this project is dead or you don't want to develop it anymore, please make an announcement so everybody won't waste time checking.
Sorry to trouble you If all goes well, the next upgrade will be carried out around November 5th (mining algorithm will be changed), we will notify on the official website 1 week in advance. |

Hello everyone.
After a period of running, the current mining of luck should have been monopolized by FPGA, which obviously goes against the original intention of luck.
Consider the future of luck, we are planning to change luck's mining algorithm from argon2d to RandomX (the hash function used by the Monero project). According to our research, RandomX is only CPU mining, FPGA has no advantage over CPU. The upgrade may be carried out recently. Please pay attention to it, thank you.
In addition, who have a deep understanding of the CPU mining algorithm, please share more experiences about the mining algorithm, and provide more suggestions, thank you.
Good luck to luck.

For everyone who waiting the signature bounty, the signature set is already designed, but from what i saw on this threads you're really waiting for the bounty , but current allocated coin for trial signature bounty is only enough for 3 higher rank, im requesting more luck to have more opportunity for low rank member to participants with us, lets see if dev will give more token for the bounty to get massive feedback from community.
i have already paid your additional fee, and i hope you will start the signature campaign as soon as possible, thank you |

i have paid for seeds, please check.

I recently checked some logs and noticed that the network is splitted. There are two different chains and some people are still mining the old chain. Is it caused by some hard fork? INFO [09-11|16:47:25.912] [LUCK-2POW] Imported new chain segment blocks=1 txs=0 mgas=0.000 elapsed=382.615ms mgasps=0.000 number=170002 hash=05c8ba…7d2334 age=1m30s dirty=470.29KiB
INFO [09-11|16:47:33.663] [LUCK-2POW] Deep froze chain segment blocks=1 elapsed=8.099ms number=80001 hash=cfcde5…6f4f6c I think some CPU farms spun up hundreds of machines and leave it then I checked all the seeds and the chain has not been splitted. It may be that there are some problems with the network synchronization of some node, and it has not been synchronized to the latest block. |

hey dev,
would be great if you could install a SSL cert on the official Luck Website.
Greetings
We are dealing with it, and the official website may not work properly for a short while. |

It's dead. It's monopolized by a few miners.It's not luck at all.
I analyzed the 2POW protocol. In the early days, everyone used CPU mining, as the more nodes, the higher the luck value. However, since some time, some GPUs have participated in mining, and the power has increased by about 1000 times. The CPU can no longer mined blocks at all, and luck is not so important. Because in the design of 2POW, there is a basic assumption that when the power of all nodes is almost equal, blocks are mined by luck. However, GPU has a performance advantage of 1000 times compared with CPU, this is equivalent to only a few scattered GPUs in the system mining blocks. Although the system has been monopolized by several GPU miners, I believe that as the number of GPUs increases, the importance of luck will come. I'm not sure if there is GPU mining. If so, can anyone share specific data? |

After two days of small-scale testing, the multi-core mining version of Linux has been running stably, and the multi-core mining of Linux and Windows wallets has been updated to https://lucknet.club. In addition, the windows wallet has been optimized in synchronization block. hey sherlock can you give me respond on gmail? i was send you message regarding bounty campaign plan and no respond from you, i hope you could see it when you are free, thanks very much. I'm really sorry, I haven't seen your specific implementation plan, there is only a token plan. I don't know how you want to do bounty now. you can give a specific implementation plan, such as what kind of activities to do, what way to motivate users, how many tokens are needed, what goals to accomplish, and how to manage tokens. Otherwise, I will pay you the token directly, which is unfair to other users in the community. If you have a good bounty implementation, i hope you to disclose the information here in time, if it is a real and effective bounty, we will definitely pay the token under everyone’s supervision. Thank you. |
