p2pool(beta) up and running

you should consider it as beta. so please make sure to setup a failover pool.
getting it up and running with ccc involved quite a few changes in sourcecode, and some minor issues still need to be ironed out.
so the pool may periodically go offline for a few minutes while i commit possible changes.

here are some sample login details:

just make sure, to set the username to the CCC address your earmings should go to, or you will be mining into my wallet
you can choose any password you like.

payouts will immediately show up as mined balance in your wallet if the pool finds a block and you got a valid share

pool stats will be available at http://46.16.76.159:9342/static

general info on how p2pools work (please make sure you read about the payout logic): https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool

guys dont be stupid u just lost few k... if bitfinex dont halt it.. 15mil are taken at stake.. which u think is more important to them? your few thousands vs 15mil lenders money ? and of course margin traders risk is higher then lenders risk..so u deserve what u earn or loss.. use your freaking pea brain to trade next time.. do not invest all your life savings on a stupid crash.. be CONSISTENCE EARN LESS AND IN THE LONG RUN U STILL EARN INSTEAD OF WHINING LIKE A PIG ! think about it PERIOD! 

Hold your doges.

Halving will cut supply.

Price will explode.

You can now vote for Gridcoin on openex:

+1  -  THE RULES NEED TO BE EXACTLY CLEAR BECAUSE WE POSITION OURSELVES ACCORDINGLY.   If a 20% crash halts the market, then I will not set limit orders beyond a certain range.

WHAT ARE THE RULES FOR HALTING?  PLEASE CREATE THEM AND FOLLOW THEM.

Posted Gridcoin team Graph and voted here http://www.allcrypt.com/beta/voting.php again.

So I am not mining right now (because of PSU being burnt  ) . But if most of you can confirm that the momentary sync problem was over then we can all start clamouring for Gridcoin to be included on coincapmarket. I have already done that here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=199685.msg5051070#msg5051070.

So I would ask all members of the community to go there and post similar messages or just quote the above message and "+1" it if your lazy .

PS : Expect a (big) hike in networkrate and prices soon

Hi Everyone!

I have to absolutely agree with what heretolearn wrote and just want to add that apart from the part where we all help humanity, - the work we have done is growing greatly..we are already 140th out of 100 000 teams in average credits in THE WORLD!! http://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/team/detail/118094994/overview  - the developer(Rob) has been doing an absolutely amazing job from the very beginning, he has spent tens of thousands of dollars and much more in his time to really make this coin a revolution, he is introducing and implementing features that no other coin has..like the scrypt-sleep function that saves even more energy from hashing and directs it to doing more work for humanity(BOINC) which is about to be enabled in a couple days.

From what Rob has presented on the forums, this is just a beginning..the features to come will be amazing. I personally can't wait for the fund, that Rob mentioned, where we will have the ability to donate for good causes.

We are aiming for #1 in the world in BOINC..and that is just a matter of time!
Get on board with us, help humanity, change the world and make yourself some money in the process!

Andrew.

I cannot sit idly back any longer without comment:

Rob.....you sir deserve some sort of award for all of your efforts on Gridcoin. I follow the tech speak as much as I can, but I am constantly floored at the rapid progress you make with these difficult issues and the level of communication you maintain with the community. This is not only an incredibly unique and revolutionary coin, but you stand out among all the developers I've followed/come into contact with thus far. That combination makes the success of this coin, and the benefits it will bring to the world, inevitable. I predict that some day soon you'll be receiving lots of attention and praise for what you're doing here. Be prepared.

I follow the developments daily and I'm looking into ways of my own to contribute to the community. Thanks for all of your hard work. It has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated.

Seriously, just WOW. And I do not say that lightly.

Has anyone contacted coinmarketcap since we have a coinbase amount in block explorer?

well, MK just showed mankind that it aint ready for the next generation of money yet. Maybe it was the destiny of cryptos. As flawed as they are right now, the whole idea and philosophy need a complete redesign

For everyone elses benefit and to clarify for Zulzedd and heretolearn:  I am going to explain the Linux dilemma in historical terms, current status, and the abstracted wine architecture so you may understand all sides without drawing false conclusions.

1) Regarding slow development and launching without Linux: We launched October 17th 2013.  At that time, I already had two Indian programmers working for me full time (out of my pocket), and they were not cheap, and their task was to finish the equivalent of what I did in Windows in Linux and Mac.  By the end of the year, what I received was not enterprise quality or compatible enough with the boinchash security portion to go live.  I hired a 3rd Linux dev, to fix the problems.  This attempt was much better, some of the code was compatible, but he took a cryptographic approach inside c++ that would expose the class to fraud.  I was not about to compromise security, so I had some disagreements and he asked me to spend $5000 to fix the problem.  I had some issues spending more for a pie in the sky promise and he dissapeared.  To add to the drama, I had some specific requirements to maintain security as far as the chosen classes, interfaces between windows and Linux that had to be met.  When I consolidated the code review, the code was rewritten Microsoft code in c++ that had certain flaws that hackers can use to attack us.
    On the windows side, we have our cpuminer integrated into our gvm.  We also have the ability to verify credits from the boinc API.  If we were to port the Russian version, we would no longer have a GVM and I did not want to compromise security.  So in essence, we burned through money and time and ended up at Christmas time, when I took over the Linux side.  In the next 60 days, I ported the necessary underlying regsvr32, security descriptors, GVM, and boinchash compatibility to Linux.  Wine is required to run my version, but security is maintained.  In my humble opinion 60 days was a relatively short and aggressive timeline and put us 90% of the way back on schedule to release a Linux and mac version.  I also hired two architects from Odesk who also costed me substantial money and that code is also useless as it is not compatible.  The requirements are relatively complicated.  Heretolearn assumes the client must be native but does not understand the risk involved.
2) Regarding Wine:  I want to point out, we are NOT emulating windows by running gridcoin-qt in wine.  The client is being re-written with a compatibility layer between Microsoft c#.net and Linux in a way that the functions can be executed on any platform; Linux;mac & wine.  Before we go into Why that is the case, the point is we have 100 megs of source code to do much higher level operations dealing with SQL, the sql ledger, the api verification, and the boinc hash, the cpu miner beacons, etc.  If we were to maintain 3 codebases:  We would need 3 Rob H's full time to debug and maintain the code over the long term.  But even simpler than that, I have chosen 1 codebase so that we can move on to polishing gridcoin for the end user.  If we can maintain one code base, it will be a magnitude better for Gridcoin in the long term, as the plans are not to create a simple coin that can send money and mine, the plan is to create a coin that can do confirms, help humanity, have internal voting for our future foundation, sql ledger, all kinds of features other coins don't have.  And you are not living in the current state of reality if you think you can write all of that 3 times, do 3 releases, support 3 versions "easily".  It is NOT the case.  Maintaining software takes hundreds of hours per year.  Think of the 80%/20% rule for new development and maintenance.

Next:  Installing wine on your Linux or Mac system is a single command: apt-get install wine
  It's a dependency for gridcoin-qt; it has nothing to do with "wanting" to install wine.  We could add it to the installer!
 Wine is not an emulator.  So, the code running on Linux is running natively. 

So, please get it out of your head that this is not the way to go, is not native code, and that we are slacking, because all of these things are false.

I hope I have justified the reason that wine will work:  When features are added to Gridcoin in the future we will run a deploy script and all 3 versions of the client will have an updated installer with a compatible version that runs on all platforms.  The version inside "about" will be the same, and therefore we will support one codebase.

Regarding downsides with running Wine related to performance:  There ARE NO DOWNSIDES.  Read the wine FAQ if you don't believe me.  The code is running natively.


Cheers,
Rob Halford

I want to buy CancerCureCoin, who wanna make a deal?!

I have two rigs mining and both are dropping from sync. Anyone has sync problems or is it just me?

My boinc stats also decreased quite much at first but now my points are climbing up very oddly

edit: explorer is out of sync too
