Does anyone have a "how to" guide on how to solo mine PPC using ANTMINERS?

I've tried using an old S2, tried S5's, tried S7's... mining solo off the wallet rpc. I can connect and mine for something like 10 seconds, then it stops. On the antminer status page, it lists the diff at 499m ... which is really low for these miners, thus I'm thinking I'm overloading the computer with the wallet.

I also tried setting up pools to solo mine so I could use the pool to regulate the diff... I tried uNOMP, and I also tried MPOS with NOMP, both cannot start mining due to the same error.   PARSE ERROR.

Soo, how are people solo mining PPC??? How are the PPC pools getting things to work.

Thank you

Hello,

The PPC uses non standard json request scheme as described in the NOMP bug requests.

Try to use a small pool like this one to get the close to the solo mining experience:

It has low fee, too.

Cheers!

Thank you for information. But me and many other man need a ppcoind source code witch compatble with unomp. This code https://github.com/UNOMP/ppcoin.git have an error. Who can fix it?

This may be of interest -

Maybe we should start listing other coins that have this on bittrex to compound the evidence against Paul more. This guy just digs deeper holes.

The court conservator would really appreciate this information for other coins stuck on Cryptsy.  He asked me if there were "more people" like me, but I had to admit I am basically UNO centric, and that many of the other coins on Cryptsy are not as well supported as UNO in terms of community interest, block explorers, with obsessive compulsive block chain sleuths, etc.

I would encourage other altcoin communities with coins on Cryptsy to identify their cold storage wallets and watch them extremely closely for any movement. We were lucky with UNO yesterday, but the community made that luck. We have literally been watching that wallet daily for 90+ days. We don't have a Chinese exchange for UNO, so that was also a fortunate fact. Our deepest market, Bittrex, is in the USA. These things all came together yesterday to help us protect 15K UNO from theft.

Btw,
IMZ just sent this interesting article about Paul Vernon and Bitebi9 exchange. http://coinjournal.net/cryptsy-paul-vernon-exchange-china/

I launched a pool 11 days ago and so far it has been stable and we have found 23 blocks.

I have a question about the consensus rules.

https://peercoin.net/assets/paper/peercoin-paper.pdf
Main Chain Protocol
The protocol for determining which competing block chain wins as main chain has been
switched over to use consumed coin age. Here every transaction in a block contributes its
consumed coin age to the score of the block. The block chain with highest total consumed
coin age is chosen as main chain.

From the above it indicates that the coinage for the entire block is used to determine which block wins (contingent on its passing all the other requirements).

However in the code, it looks like it is using the longest chain wins. While that would eventually reach consensus, I was wondering if there was a specific reason the blocks' coinage isnt used as a tiebreaker for two competing blocks found at the same time. maybe it opens an attack where a large coinage can be spent?

I'm glad this coin has lots of people looking at the code.
What's up with all the forks lately?  OK, I'm sure this stuff
is very very complicated.  When can we get rid of the
"centralized checkpointing"?

Really I came here to point out a minor "flaw" - the icon
for peerunity in my taskbar is an ugly, blank "dog-eared
sheet of paper" - where other coins have their coin image.
Kinda looks broken, like icon is missing perhaps.

It's already disabled for normal operation. I t was ebabled during Apri 25 protocol upgrade, which turned out to be helpful.

bitcoin is 7x24 centralized to the big miners, btw.

my icon looks very nice. i am on win7. peerunity.

[aigeezer]

My icon looks fine also, circled "P" that looks something like an urban parking lot sign. I'm on Win10, using Peerunity wallet 0.2.2.

The update to 0.2.2 from 0.2.0 fixed the latest failure to sync (forking) problem for me, btw. I found the people at the official forum peercointalk.org very helpful, fwiw.

[Coins-R-Us]

Thanks for the info!  Peercoin looks like a great coin,
for sure.  I can probably fix my icon issue (by deleting
previous icon before re-installing perhaps).

Staking seems to take a long time with this coin.
Of course a bigger stake will increase my chances.

I tried cpu-mining it on 8-core android lol.
Not enough hashpower it seems (2 MH/s i think)
I need to buy a gpu  or some antminer for this?

First advertisement platform that accepts Peercoin! place banner ads, create faucets or earn free coins.

At www.fauceting.com, earners can get free Peercoin and advertisers can promote website by creating or sponsoring faucets.

Project just started this week!

[Coins-R-Us]

Yes!  I fixed my icon problem, just by fiddling around making
icons and trying different ones, and I found the original one -
it just appeared in the folder!  So now my icons work on both
the left and right sides of the taskbar.  Looks great btw.

Sunny is working on an option to not use checkpointing!
Users can decide if they want to use it or not... coming soon.

To not be rude but i was here one year ago and read same statement "we will tunr off checkpoints" ....
Have you now stacking without exposing pive key to hackers?

Hi! we created a multicurrency dice site: www.cryptosdice.com

We are looking for people that want to be part of the Peercoin bankroll! on july 11 we are going to activated those currencies with enough bankroll. We think this is a good opportunity for Peercoin community as it offers many advantatges:

1 - A way to spend Peercoin - dice games are a good step in any crptocurrency development.
2 - A way for investors to earn.
3 - Peercoin  wins visibility, It will be displayed in our website next to btc or ltc. Also our site have faucet for any of the altcoins accepted.
4 - Affiliates earn coins in the original bet currency, so users that don't know about Peercoin may find they have some balance of this currency because their referrals's earnings and start to learn about Peercoin .

Happy betting and investing!
