Lmao do you really bother yourself to read what dev is talking about?

Dev wallet still stuck at block 21085..

Please download the latest release beta4 which should provide a possible fix for the stuck at block ... issue.

Hey guys,

{
    "version" : 61100,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 20835,
    "timeoffset" : 0,
    "connections" : 4,
    "proxy" : "",
    "generate" : false,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "difficulty" : 18.98224081,
    [...]
}

can you please help out and add some stable hashing power to 611 (SixEleven)? With difficulty level 4693 my wallet got stuck at block 21085 since hours, now 

$ sixeleven/src/611d getinfo
{
    "version" : 61100,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 21085,

    "proxy" : "",
    "generate" : true,
    "genproclimit" : 1,
    "difficulty" : 4692.86619945,
[...]
}

611 does support merged mining with Bitcoin. 

I was wondering if you can explain the first 20k blocks, was this a relaunch or a coin or an old post?

611 (SixEleven) is not an Altcoin intended as a replacement for payment.

It's linked to the public DNS via the 611.TO domain root; so in addition to the classic coin/wallet software design there is a dire need for gateway software in the background, distributed DNS services, distributed DNS seeds and other security and availability related infrastructure.

Hey - the data of this coin blockchain is available worldwide for any Internet user using simple dns requests.
You can download the software (and sources) from github, run it, mine at least one block and setup the DNS service(s) you like. What's best: It's all anonymous and free.

For example, you can use the blockchain so save the public part of your PGP keys or any other tocken, or use it as a replacement for your dyndns service or configure your (sub)domain setup with your own nameservers or direct A / CNAME / TXT records.

It depends on your imagination what possibilities you like to use with an altcoin allowing you to access the information saved distributed within the blockchain worldwide with any Internet linked device.

Infidel,

Will be watching this to see where it goes.

can you add the 611 (SIL) coin to the YoBit exchange?

Hey PatrickMacH, can you address the instability and insecurity of 611 due to merge mining with bitcoin? Any big bitcoin pool that chooses to submit its work to mine 611 could 51%-attack/disrupt its network. It's one reason why namecoin switched to using bitcoin's blockchain to secure its domain records, rather than even its own. Merge mining such as it is, is inherently insecure against this.

Edit:

I'm trying to help the 611 get unstuck with some mining power. However I'm not having any success getting solo mining set up. I've tried naming my conf file 611.conf, coin.conf, even namecoin.conf and nothing works. I've tried specifying known working  rpcports and nothing works. Looking in my router settings, I see the 611 wallet opens port 8661 for TCP. But when I add rpcport=8661 to my conf, the wallet crashes with an error. And when I remove that command, the port remains active in my router but I can't connect to it.

Please post a working  conf file and I'll help you with some mining.

the basic idea of merged mining is to add stability to any bitcoin based altcoin by attracting professional bitcoin miners to share their stable mining ressources with the altcoin at no additional cost.
According to the sources (auxpow...) I guess that merged mining needs some additional review for 611 and that it is therefore probably buggy or not usable at the moment  

To be honest I've not had a chance to test the merged mining capabilites, yet.

Would you prefer to remove the merged mining feature for this altcoin?

As far as I can see the latest namecoin-core code does still support the merged mining with bitcoin feature:

Have another look at merged mining. Trying to include it in a coin I'm writing on slowed development by a month until we realized it might not be with it until the vulnerabilities are address.

Can you see my edit above and post a working conf?

Which I can share at some points.
I personally dislike ASIC friendly PoW which leads to the problems discussed above very easily as long as the altcoin has no stable and reliable mining power support.

Maybe we should switch the PoW algorithm to more useful and non ASIC friendly math like i.e. Primecoin does.

Can you see my edit above and post a working conf?

My conf just contains the two (default) lines:
rpcuser=...
rpcpassword=...

Latest block #21796.

Hmm, maybe most of that stuff is hardcoded. Let me play around with it some more.

611 (SixEleven) does auto discover other active nodes using irc and/or dnsseeds by default.
You can disable irc using the startup option "-noirc" or disable any inbound connections using the startup option "-nolisten".

In case you like to use 611 with maximum anonymity I would recommend you to connect your 611 instance using the tor proxy option. Check the release notes -> privacy https://github.com/fflo/sixeleven/releases for more details on the configuration.

How to mine this coin?  Can you explain clearly?

How to mine this coin?  Can you explain clearly?

The most simple way using 611-Qt is pressing: Help -> Debug windows -> Console
running this command at the line >:
setgenerate true $NUMBER-OF-THREADS

i.e. if you like to run four threads of CPU mining: setgenerate true 4
You can disable mining running: setgenerate false

Of course you can use any other mining source by connecting it to the tcp port 8661 of your 611d or 611-Qt installation.

611 (SixEleven) should also support MergedMining with Bitcoin. It would be great if anyone could check if this feature works or not and share the result with us.

Just be patient. The difficulty factor does auto-reduce in steps if no new block has been mined after 5 hours.

At the moment 611 (SixEleven) is still missing some stable mining pools.
This allows singe miners with powerful asics to play games with the difficulty factor - but at least since beta4 you can be sure that a new block will be mined after some hours nonetheless.

my wallet is synced with block 21863, now.
