Can I rent hash power for hodl ? Can I use a vps ? I've been wondering and looking around but have not found a decent answer. I know nice hash does it but they want min 0.01 and I want to test it first 0.01 is a lot of btc just for a test.
Not sure if NiceHash even works anymore, you'd have to ask optiminer if it works with his pool, renting a vps would work but you'd have to make sure that it has more than 1GB of ram (hodl needs 1GB for mining) and that your hosting service is okay with it (not all hosting services allow mining), it probably isn't the most cost-efficient way of mining (you're probably better just buying coins  ) I think nicehash should work with hodl.optiminer.pl. Cannot give you a guarantee though. 0.01 BTC is about $6.. if you serious about renting hash power that's not so much for a test.. You can try amazon or some other cloud provider. But you will probably end up with not much less than 6$ for renting it for a few hours until you have set everyting up. And then, you probably get much less hash/$ in the long term in comparison to nicehash. |

There are currently problems with shares of a user submitted to the pool that get accepted despite being invalid. Still looking into it but banning that users seems to have restored normality for now.
Please only use the the official optiminer binaries when mining against the pool.
Could you unban me when it's fixed? If you want to know what I did just pm me. I sent a pm but never got any response. The pool should be better protected now, I did some changes to the code. Payout delay is still a bit higher. But I expect that in one or two days payouts will happen again as soon as you reach a balance of 50 hodls. |

Can you try adding #include <endian.h> and replacing ulong with long as in https://github.com/Optiminer/HOdlcoin/commit/1b532b7237ec2bbc5068c5269b92f6a475c9a48b or just update to head on that branch? The missing _mm256_extract_epi64 I do not understand. It should be declared in "immintrin.h" which is included already: https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide/#expand=2259,5074,2259&text=_mm256_extract_epi64Other AVX intrinsics seem to be found which makes it even stranger. Which version of mingw? |

Hello all,
Woow just by using the benchmark mode my 4790k goes to almost 430H/s
I wanted to try the pool but it does not look online
I don't suppose this is usable for wallet or solo mining? I'll put up a bounty of 20,000 HODL to get this miner integrated into the wallet for solo mining. Anyone interested in working on this? Bump, anyone I'll do it for the 20000 hodls. Already got a proof-of-concept, just need to change it to enable it dynamically based on CPU features. |

I think i'm one of the double paid miners as i saw my balance negative and pending 100 or something like that..
I should have some hodled coins released in a few days and would be happy to send you the 50 extra i got.. please PM me your hodl address..
thanks
Thanks for the offer but not needed. Just think of it as a lucky bonus for early adoption of the pool. To be able to cover such things is exactly why I added a small pool fee of 1%. |

I think there are good points all round.
It does help the coin to have a higher hash rate - less possibility of a 51% attack.
It also helps the coin to have more solo miners - wider distribution, less centralization.
It also helps the coin when solo mining is competitive - easier to onboard new and novice users as miners.
I think the balance has swung a bit too far towards pool mining now - however it won't be as pronounced as before, as miners are required to HODL for 1 year so only miners who believe in the coin and are making an invesment will mine for now.
To redress the balance, I do think we need to integrate optiminer's enhancements into the wallet miner, to make solo-mining competitive again. If we don't do this, I think we'll see most of the hashing power on a single pool soon, and this give us a central point of failure - not good for anyone.
The central point of failure is certainly a valid concern. It would certainly be good to have more than one mining pool. I hope once the coin gains in value other mining pools will (re-)open for the coin. I will not publish the source of my pool as I might want to reuse the code for other things. I will think about setting up a second instance of my pool, though, which will be completely independent from the first. Integrating the optimized mining code into the wallet is something I can look into when I have spare time. I am more concerned about the single platform that HODL is still traded on than the centralization of mining. Especially as c-cex is threatening to also de-list it. I hope we can avert this. I opened a ticket at yobit to request that they update the hodl wallet and reenable withdrawals and deposits. I suggest everyone with an account there does the same to put on some pressure. Happy HOdling!  |

This has been a very eventful first day for the officially launched hodl.optiminer.pl!- Pool hash rate increased from 2k to 25k hash/s!
- As a consequence of the high hash rate I have increased the pool difficulty from 16 to 32.
- The high rate of found blocks triggered some bugs in the still young code:
- A race condition between submitting a found block and updating the balance caused a double payout to a miner. The lucky miner that got the double payout ended up with a negative balance resulting in a loss to the pool. The code has been fixed to prevent this and the loss will be covered by the pool fee.
- The pool got its first orphaned blocks. The code did not correctly transfer the balance back from pending payout to earned for these orphaned blocks. This has been fixed, the balance of affected miners has been corrected and been payed out since.
- Somebody decided to mine to the pool address what the code did not expect. This caused the pool address to show up as miner with negative balance. Thanks for mining to the pool address effectively donating to it!
- The large number of miners made the main status page of the pool confusing. It has been changed to only show the active miners and a search bar was added where you can also find the balance of inactive mining addresses.
- The pool has been fully moved from the development machine to the dedicated server now.
Optiminer HOdl pool officially launched!  Grab a copy of the optimized hodlminer and point it to: -o stratum+tcp://hodl.optiminer.pl:5555 -u HODLADDR -p x Pool Info - Dashboard: http://hodl.optiminer.pl- PPLNS - 1% fee - 25 blocks confirmation required - stratum only - locked payout ("hodlout") when your balance reaches 50 hodls Fixed during testing phase: - Invalid balance after server restart. - Improved dashboards. There are still many improvements to the dashboard that I would like to make but I think it is working good enough to work with it already. Please stop mining to the old address, I will shut down that possibility in the next days.

if every "gigantic" miner (which apparently did not show up till now) used the wallet to mine it would be the same
yes a pool simplifies the process to get started, but a "gigantic" miner would not be stopped by setting up a wallet if there is profit to make
setting up a wallet is not like defusing a bomb or something
You're missing the point. I never said that the gigantic miner did not exist. I simply stated the pool will help increase the net hashrate, making it more difficult for solo miner to hit a block. As the difficulty increase, more and more miners will stop solo mining, effectively, killing it. For every successful coin solo mining gets difficult for the average user. This is just a simple matter of supply and demand of hash rate.. Imagine 1 HODL being 1000$. This would attract many more miners, which increases the hash rate. Mining could still be profitable for the average user but the chance to find a block worth 50*1000$ would be very low. That's why mining pools make sense, in general. Demanding that solo mining with the wallet stays possible is the same as demanding that the coin stays at low value. The force of mined hodl blocks to be locked for 1 year has been extremely successful in pushing away miners. I am not going to debate here whether these were 'good miners' or 'bad dumping miners'. But a fact is that there was a huge drop in hash rate. I think this was to a big part due to the fact that it was no longer easy to mine the coin due to the lack of a working mining pool. Therefore, I hope we will see an increase in hash rate over the next days. An increase in hash rate is important as it shows to the public that there is still interest in the coin and make it more secure. If you think solo mining is the right way for your, no problem, go ahead and continue solo mining. Whoever prefers to not run a full node has the option to use my pool now. |

@optiminer is there some api interface planned? right now to get stats one has to parse the whole html page and extract information about speed etc manually additionally stats for each worker separately would be nice Providing a JSON api should be fairly easy. What information are you interested in getting? Adding support for distinguishing workers is a bit more difficult but I'll add it on my list of features to add. |
