because bytecoin is a coin i care about which i've been spending money on creating custom pool software for it. Anyone who's used my pool's has seen the software on them change daily as i try out before deploying it on the bytecoin pool. If you guys dont trust me ask Digigami who runs the bytecoin P2Pool. unsure if i've still got the URL but it should be at bte1.crypto-expert.com or bte2.crypto-expert.com
I use the pool; it works stable until for an unknown reason they close the pool.  Suspicion Confirmed ill fire my pool up tonight or tomorrow morning. We share 6-7 servers between us for pool's one suffered a hardware failure so im guessing he replaced my server with his p2pool server. Although he hadnt told me so i wasnt too sure movellan as i said im not scheming i wont gain anything either since i dont mine. . Its legit miners who are getting punished due to the high diff. either way i have a pool so i earn money from the fee's a merged mining patch benefits the miners and the coin as a whole. Since it will become usable as a coin |

Right, as many people know i've been planning on working on fixing bytecoin by implementing a merged mining patch. As i can see im almost ready and will put it on testnet in a day or 2. I also have a pool ready which will have merged mining on the backend but i will auto-exchange daily and double up the block reward.
Now here comes you're part:
I would like people's opinion on the following:
1) The Merged Mining Patch
2) Changing the retarget structure so it retargets more frequently, (every 30 mins?)
3) When to hard fork?
1) Good 2) Bad 3) Now I´m solo mining now, when you have your fork and pool ready i give you a couple GH´s. Thanks bro, i dont want to hard fork right now since it isnt enough notice and secondly the patch doesnt work properly yet. every merged mined block was rejected. But im not plannning on changing anything to do with the retargets with bitparking hashrate the pool should fly through the blocks |

thanks for putting me on ur ignore list. its appreciated. I have no problem with ortchi or tryion's pool they are both good. reliable and sustainable pools. What i have a problem with is multipool's and tompool is one of them. It's been proven time and time again that they do more bad than good. So THAT is my problem. and for that reason i am saying that they should stay off GME

ermm..... i dont even own any mining equipment apart from 1 BE. i'm a pool OP not a miner. So theres you're whole story invalidated. And the reason i think bytecoin should be merged mined is as follows:
1) Provides a sustained hashrate for the life of bitcoin and any other SHA256 coin(basically if everyone leaves bytecoin mining the bitcoin network is still there to keep it running)
2) Fixes the diff problem resulting in 3 hour long blocks
3) After the fix makes it easier for adoption as a currency. No company in their right minds would wait 3+ hours for a single confirm with bytecoin. The merged mining patch makes it a real contender to win the alt race

it may be any more than tompool can do, But it does not do GME ANY favours. so it should stay off
|
|
|
|
that is a possiblity, i wonder which coin i should try to merge mine after bte.....  |
|
|
|
haha sure, would reduce some of my workload you and i both know once i've got this patch made for bytecoin its going to blow OSC right out of the water right? lamao |

I dont have the power to keep mining. Secondly the network has been on the close to dying. It wouldn't take much for someone to do another attack on the pool. Think of it. Go without the patch and have 13gh with 3 hour blocks. Or take the merged mining patch and have 7.5TH, a lowered diff and a stable network enough to trade on and use

wow! i've spoken to doublec and he agreed to add it after the fork. I have a repository with a forked bytecoin aith the patch applied however it's not currently accepting any merged mined blocks upon testing so i have some more debugging to do on testnet
|
|
|
|
wait bitparking is in the TH? i thought it was in the GH well then i dont plan on adding a static diff then. since th will get us to the next retarget in no time |
|

Roger that, throw me a heads up when you push the update, I'll let you know how it goes on my end.
sure thanks |

^naa, theyre split between 5/6 server's that cant be it
|

yeah i've noticed its the ajax doing it. as many people have seen i've been testing various designs for functionality and for usability and i've finally settled on one. ETA for the new theme is tonight so the crashes should get fixed
|

|
|
|
it would come faster but would it come fast enough? i personally dont think so but give me an hour or so and ill do some calc's
|
|
|
|

no worries. thanks for mining! switching it to PPS as soon as we get a more stable hashrate and blocks begin to roll in!
|

i see what you're saying however i think theres a possability there may be a misunderstanding. I wont be changing the diff algorithm or anything like that.i was thinking of doing it so that at the time of the fork the difficulty will be reduced on that one occasion and the diff adjustments will continue like normal

1 sec, i think i made an error on the url. its meant to be stratum+tcp://stratum.crypto-expert.com:7317
EDIT: confirmed i made an error on the URL the one above is the correct one
