OPES - NEW Argon2 algo - No ICO - CPU ONLY

[OPES]

Might be a false positive, but why should I believe otherwise?....

---->Avast flagged this wallet after analysis as a threat. It does not flag ANY other wallets I've downloaded, regardless of how shady they or their developers appeared.

I ran a test with virustotal, and avast gives me 0 flags.
You can scan it yourself. Maybe the in-wallet miner gives you this false positive like many wallets using 'setgenerate', please share some details about the flag.

It's giving me: Dyna:BitCoinMiner-CR [PUP] || mul

Very well may be false positive, but as I said before I've not had a warning with any other wallet in this environment and there's 15+ installed just for the lulz.

Also, explain to us what is so great about OPES over Argon2Coin? Better name? Better logo? Any plans or just a carbon copy of their code?

Sounds like a false positive. If you have doubts, feel free to compile the source and run the same test.
That is afterall, the purpose of opensource code.

We're not here to compare coins against each other. The Argon2 algorithm is great since it's very new and minable by the larger crowd without high investements.
Our name, logo, plans, team differ from each other, of course. But now, let's focus on mining so we can have a fair distribution amongst miners.

The rest will become Obvious in a couple of weeks. This is not a competition between 2 coins.

tl;dr
Of course our team members are in trollboxes to gain users

heck, may as well mine some, may earn enough to buy a beer lol

Hopefully, that will be the quote in 10 years from now;

"10k OPES for a beer", just like the 10kBTC for a pizza topic 

Thanks for joining!

Your explanation is fair enough, started mining for fun. Keeping my eyes peeled though My procs are a little too weak... Might have to jump on the pool. Only pulling about 900h/s between two of them

You should try the optimized miner https://www.bitteaser.com/press-releases/?title=1

Good point, getting about 11Kh/s now 

Not sure my 6 core zambezi is going to like this for too long without a repasting.

Does anyone know if there is a way to set diff client side with the optimized miner? I'm looking through docs but don't see anything. I know pool cranks it up to prevent network flood but I was hoping to turn it down just a wee bit.

I've optimized vardiff for this algo already, you should be submitting a share every 5-15 seconds, which is optimal for the coin.

Whats the problem you got and which diff do you desire on the pool ?

vardiff seems to have issues if you have several connections to one worker. Can one worker handle connections from several computers ok?

If the target is 5-15 seconds per share then yes looks like it's working well on my end. I think I'm just having some heat issues on my other rig   No complaints about the pool itself!

No because vardiff is always "per worker/computer" - so on your end it can get things confused.

It SHOULD work but it's always better to use a separate worker for every single physical machine.

Ah okay, under linux I use "nice"/"renice" to adjust priority of the cpu workers and control temperature indirectly by doing so.

Virustotal means nothing if it's the timebomb trojan. New CPU algo forcing miners to download the wallet is the MO.

Just be careful is all I'm saying for this one.

What's this time bomb Trojan?
Guess I'm out of the loop these days.

When virustotal is not detecting any trojans but wallet has well packed hidden trojan which activates after some time pass...

So all your bitcoins are belong to dev in the end? I wouldn't worry too much... I'm always wary of these things but that's why you run wallets in a safe place

Lets mine a little but in close environment

[OPES]

Wallet update incoming in the next couple of hours, not mandatory, however recommended.
just minor fixes and added checkpoints.

2500 OPES bounty has been send to Testz for his hard work on the miners for the Argon2 algorithm.
