hello all For the questions that you have paid more attention to recently, I will answer briefly 1 How to start multi-core mining on a single machine? Considering that a single node is mining at a medium luck value, more power consumption is wasted. For machines with multiple cores and large memory, we recommend that you start multiple nodes, and each node runs the mining program independently, which is equivalent to the way that each independent program occupies one core. The method of starting multiple nodes on a single machine is as follows: Linux: Specify different ports and different data directories when starting the process luck --port=<PORT_X> --datadir=<DATADIR_X>. Note that to start multiple processes on a single machine, make sure to specify different ports and different data directories. Windows: After decompressing the wallet file, you will see the luck/luck.exe file, which is a binary command-line program whose operation is the same as that of the Linux system and requires you to operate in the command-line mode. For example, you enter luck.exe --datadir=<DATADIR_1> --port=<PORT_1> in a command line terminal, and then open another terminal and enter luck.exe attach <DATADIR_1>/luck.ipc. For specific commands, please refer to https://github.com/luck-coin/luckcoin/blob/master/wiki/luck_linux.md. 2 How to optimize the mining network to increase the winning rate? Since all mining nodes are now connected to the seed nodes, all messages are transfered through the seed nodes. With the gradual increase of network nodes, the transfer efficiency of seed nodes will continue to decline, which will affect the stable operation of mining nodes, especially for miners with multiple nodes. For miners with multiple nodes, it is recommended to deploy a transit node to connect to the seed nodes. The internal nodes directly interact with the transit node. If these nodes are on an intranet, this will greatly increase the message forwarding speed. Start the wallet node directly, and connect directly to the seed nodes by default. If you want the node to connect to your own transit node by default, you need to specify in the command line parameter --bootnodes=lnode://<NODE_1>@<IP_1>:<PORT_1>, where NODE_1 is your transit node ID, you need to use admin.nodeInfo to view it on the transit node. IP_1 is the IP of your transit node. If it is on the internal network, it is recommended to use the internal network IP. PORT_1 is the port of the transit node, which is 30009 by default. In the Linux system, you only need to add the command line parameter. Under windows system, you need to start your wallet node in command line terminal mode to specify the --bootnodes parameter. In order to confirm that you are indeed connected to your transit node, you can check the connection through the command admin.peers. |

you're right
Under the traditional proof-of-work mechanism, for example, there are two groups of miners. The first group has only one node, and the second group consists of 9 nodes forming a small mining pool. the probability of the first group winning is 1/(2^ 9)=1/512.
Under the 2POW mechanism, for the same two groups of miners, the probability of the first group winning is 1/10.

Hello Sherlock do You have any plans for exchanges many ppl asking about it also at discord many successful trades.
The project has only been launched for a short time, and the number of tokens mined is very limited, the stability and reliability of the project still needs time to verify. In the near future, we have no specific plan to list it on any exchanges. However, we still welcome high-quality exchanges to help us promote the project. If you are an exchange, you can also list it on your exchange freely. |

This may be my friend, he has 200 units @somebody who owns 0x104be85bfd4b0151d61a647bfb1d24d9ee57a19e2683cd7fb0.
We have detected that you deployed a large number of machines.
Our project is still in the early stage and it is not recommended to engage in an arms race.
If you see this message, you can stop some machines appropriately. thank you very much.
If you have other comments, you can leave a message here, or send emails to us.
Thanks to your friend, as our nodes are gradually increasing, your friend can deploy nodes at a normal speed. |

Hi Sherlock,
I'm trying to build from source but there isn't any guide.
I already have Go installed.
I've tried go build but it doesn't work.
Should it just be go build?
Thanks!
We have now opened the core algorithm module. The entire project is being sorted and archived, and the project building modules will be opened after finishing all sorting, it is estimated that in these two weeks. In addition, we will also open the android wallet in these two weeks. Please be patient, thank you. |

We have detected that you deployed a large number of machines. Maybe it is not "a large number of machines", but something like "luck boost" in similar way that "ASIC boost" works (no, I do not have access to this address, I am just guessing). And also it is possible that calculating some luck once and then checking all blocks matching some difficulty is not the most efficient way of mining. Maybe it is tweaked somehow to mine more luck and check less blocks in the second stage. Playing with some parameters may give similar results as in POW, it is just a matter of balancing these two phases to get the best results. Also, this is not the only one coin using argon2d algorithm. Maybe some merged-mining is also actively used here. At present, it is due to the large number of machines. The number of connections has been significantly reduced, and the block generation speed of 104 has also been significantly reduced. "luck boost" maybe impossible. |

Will there be a separate mining software
sorry, we have no plans to develop new mining software in the near future. If necessary, we will consider it in the future. |

Sherlock.Holmes: what is the difference between nodekey file and keys in keystore folder?
Also can we mine using the same public key on multiple machines?
nodekey is the node ID, which represents a locally running instance. keystore is your wallet file and must be stored properly, preferably offline. The same address can be set on different machines, which does not affect the mining probability. We have previously imagined setting different addresses on different machines, but in a decentralized environment, this setting is meaningless. |

Anybody who owns 0x104be85b... can you share how many machines have you deployed? Hundreds of new connections have been detected on the seed nodes. If necessary, you can deploy some seed nodes separately.

Hello everyone We have opened the luck core at https://github.com/luck-coin/go-luck, the core logic of 2POW can be found in consensus->tppow->tppow.go, and friends who are interested are welcome to suggest optimization opinions on 2POW, thank you. In addition, we analyzed the latest block data. The luck of the latest blocks fluctuates around 0xbc00000, and luck is uniformly distributed in [0x0, 0xbebc200], we estimate that the number of possible independent nodes is between 200-400 (currently we are unable to give an accurate prediction model). As the number of independent nodes increases, the influence of luck on the probability of winning will also greatly increase. Increasing in luck can only be achieved by deploying more nodes, which is obviously more fair. |

In a distributed environment, maxluck is a global variable, I think it is impossible to determine it.
I think maxluck should be a definite boundary value. I just want to ask, how big is maxluck set by dev? I do not think that maxluck is "set by dev". I think that each miner calculates luck in the first phase and then, when this first phase in finished, the max luck value is just the highest luck value produced by all miners in the network. And then, each miner uses this maxluck from the first phase to mine block in the second phase. If maxluck would be a global variable "set by dev", then participating in the first phase would have no sense, because then it would be possible to just skip this first phase and start from the second. Also, when the first phase is finished, the luck value cannot be changed anymore in the second phase. Because if it would be possible, someone could calculate luck higher than maxluck. And then, it may be profitable to calculate higher and higher luck, getting easier and easier difficulty. And then it would be almost the same as calculating single proof of work, but instead of hitting the lowest block hash, people would try to hit the highest luck all the time, even without calculating the second phase at all! By bringing luck to enormously high values, they would get a situation when any block produced in the second phase would be valid! maxluck is set to 200000000(0xbebc200), luck is uniformly distributed in [0, maxluck]. The greater the luck value, the less difficult the second phase. As the luck value increases, the speed at which the difficulty of the second phase becomes smaller will be more obvious. |

The selected nodes must provide 7*24 uninterrupted network services (you can't mine in seed nodes). At present, the token has the characteristics of anonymity and untraceability 1. If you can find out which nodes are mining and which are not, then you can trace miners and shut them down (or maybe not you, but some ISP's or government in the future will be able to do this). 2. If you cannot find out which nodes are mining, then how do you know that seed nodes are not mining? Sorry you misunderstood 1 We cannot distinguish which nodes are mining. We require seed nodes not to participate in mining, this is to ensure the stability of the service. Of course, the government or ISP can shut down our services, as well as all other services, if necessary. 2 Of course, if the seed node is mining, we will add other seed nodes once it cannot provide stable services. |

Hello, everyone
After several days of operation, the Luck core is stable, and the block parameters meet the expected goals.
In addition, we will make an optimization upgrade to the Luck core next week, which will not have any impact on the current chain data, and the specific upgrade time will be announced on the official website in advance.
Thank you for your attention.
