Do you guys know who hosts this: http://104.36.83.126/spreadcoin/
It looks like it's down... ;(

I don't know who hosted that but it'd be useful to get it back up and running again soon.

I dug it out from the logs - it was elbandi...

Thanks for doing that.  I've just PM'd elbandi.  Would be good to have those stats available again.

Last night my 3 cards mining spread got ~ 100coins, I saw these in the morning showing in the wallet, and then suddenly they all became "rejected" ?!
Any idea?!
Are there newer wallet/miners :S

No, most people are still mining with the GPU miners created by Mr. Spread / girino and tsiv.

Can you provide us with a getinfo of the wallet you used for mining?

BTW mining 100 coins with 3 cards in 1 day seems unbelievable... what's going on here? Could it be that you started the wallet in testnet mode?

Every day about 8000 SPR are mined. Right now nethash is around 300MH/s so you need about 3.75MH/s to get 100 coins a day. That is about 2-3 GTX750ti or one GTX970.

Fair point.  You're doing better than I am though!

Could you post your getinfo details please?  We've never encountered anything like you describe before.

Yes, this makes sense alright.
I haven't done any GPU mining yet, so I have only secondary opinions from other people about what can be achieved with what GPU model.

this is correct ...

it is not difficult to do more than that with the right amount of equipment ...

i cant specify what the current state of coin minting would be on a daily basis - but when the hashrate was much higher - thefram brought in many  hundreds of spr a day ... and the difficulty was higher than it is today ...

and no - i dont have just one or two 750ti cards ...

i was only ( only - as in the only miner ) sp's optimized private miner at the time ... and still do when i do mine spr ...

unfortunately i didn't take screenshot :/, and indeed, these are 3x750ti cards

I was running wallet from 11-08-2015
Then updated to latest from 09-2015 - and in new wallet these transactions are completely invisible, like they never existed :O

In previous one they were marked like  0 confirmations, rejected... tho i remember that i literally was behind the PC when first block was found ~ 6pm  yesterday, and early in the morning (8am) there were ~ 100 coins, which seemed a bit too much, but then, its all about luck and statistics
Weird but, who knows maybe somehow the wallet went mad
current getinfo is perhaps completely normal

Well, if I understand you correctly, those blocks never made it into the blockchain.

In the new wallet (v0.9.16.1), were the new blocks you found mentioned as immature SPR?
If everything goes right they should be mentioned as immature SPR right away.

As a side note: Are you able to send SPR in your environment? Maybe add a tx fee of 0.001 SPR.

Can you mine just another block (just 1) and if the problem persists, create a screenshot this time.

Yes, your getinfo seems pretty normal.

Thanks for your input.
Can't wait to start experimenting with GPU mining and OpenCL.
But there are more pressing issues for me right now.

Weird but, who knows maybe somehow the wallet went mad

I'm running NVidia without issues, except every now and then a rejected block.

I have observed the following in the past (although I don't know if there's a causal relationship there):

1) I get the behavior like you describe when I overclock too much, it's a very fine line in my experience

2) Running GPU and CPU mining at the same time sometimes rejects blocks also (but not as often as you describe)

3) Cooling is important, mining goes haywire when the CPU/GPU temperature is too hot (can happen even on a cold day

ADDED: 4) Make sure the ports are open in the firewall!!

hope this helps!

300 SPR for the person that guesses when Georgem goes Legendary (nearest will do).

What is the criteria for going Legendary?

Also, by when, do you mean a specific date?

[georgem]

Small update:

For some days now I have been running a small intranet (4 PCs: 2 Win, 1 Mac , 1 Linux, all communicating per localhost, all CPU-mining.)
where I have probably created two dozen blockchains already, always testing a few things, analyzing hexdata and debug.logs and listening to the chitchats between the nodes and then restarting a new blockchain.

That feeling when you ignite a blockchain and it comes to life --> pretty legendary.  

I like how quickly you can test things in such an intranet.

So I am slowly learning the secrets of what an overlay network is made of.

It will not take much longer before your patience will pay of.

Stay tuned.

PS: I will see that I can post some Screenshots and Infos about what I am actually doing right now to help you pass your waiting time. This will follow soon.

Thanks for the help and advice.
Indeed, it must have been the firewall.
This PC is @work, where we have 2 subnets - 1 with very strict rules, and another not so restricted.
I usually always set PC in lighter zone if mining, but I saw that wallet is in sync running in stricter zone and said "why bother"

This is still weird IMHO, maybe some kind of "test connectivity" can be implemented, to know that altho syncing wallet works, mining won't?

Mining should always work if you can sync.

That's what I was thinking.

That 66.6 SPR block is nice!

I've been creating new chains in my test environment over the last few weeks just to learn some SPR basics.  It has been really useful although I have no idea about the chatter between nodes.
