Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Back online after a nightmare. Good thing I had backups.
Bought a new build PC and the migration was a nightmare. The end result is Fedora is out, Mint is in.
No messing with blacklisting nouveau, one click to install Nvidia drivers and good to go. No messing with
repos to get useful packages, everything is already installed. And it comes with mate desktop.
The only advantage Fedora had was its handy services configuration gui, but that's gone now. so goodbye.

negativo17 has his repos for ALL nvidia and ALL cuda installs with a whole heap of other apps to be installed in fedora 23 as a simple dnf call ... its the repo i use ... amongst a couple of others ... mint is nice as a basic os - and i guess in the environment you are working with - that could be a good thing ... fedora 24 is destined to be a much more streamlined os - at least thats their intention ... released in a few months ... pity it was a nightmare for you mate ... but glad you got it all running well with the new os and desktop ... #crysx |

I was constantly taking steps back. I never could get fedora to work. I got centos working the first time but performance was poor. I reinstalled and couldn't login with a desktop after installing the nvidia drivers. The next time the Nvidia driver install failed... And along the way i nuked the system partition on my current system trying to write a USB image. I'm sure i said sdd, not sdb. Fortunately after restoring the home dir from backups everything was as it was, phew. I had been eying mint for a long time because I liked it much better than Ubuntu. It's a better Ubuntu with a better attitude, no forcing new desktops on users. Like I said th eonly thing that kept me from switching earlier was the services config gui. Now my other PCs get the trickle down effect and at some point will be another mining rig, just in time for Pascal. |

Does mint finally have release upgrades?
Personally I'd go with ubuntu + lxde.
I have some pcs and servers which did more than 6 release upgrades with only minor issues (if any).

True: go LTS for less maintenance and less issues (if you don't need to be on the edge). |

True: go LTS for less maintenance and less issues (if you don't need to be on the edge). I went with LTS. Mint update frequency is not nearly as high as Fedora (don't know about ubuntu) but they do release critical updates promptly. I rfound Fedora annoying with their update frequency, especially the kernel which requires a reboot. So far i have nothing to complain about with Mint. All the software I use is available and the Mate desktop is configurable just the way I like it, I prefer it over Cinnamon. |

Well, mint is based on debian just as ubuntu and the two distributions have more than that in common. On a side note, I was wondering if there is a noticeable difference in hashing speed when using different gcc versions like 4.8, 4.9 or 5.0. |

On a side note, I was wondering if there is a noticeable difference in hashing speed when using different gcc versions like 4.8, 4.9 or 5.0. More precisely mint is based on ubuntu which is based on debian, LMDE is based directly on debian. Inconclusive on the performance. I'm gettting lower hashrates on cryptonight but it's not accross all threads. Previously I would get 4 threads at a significantly higher speed than the other 4. Now I get all 8 threads at the lower speed. Lost 30% performance. Doesn't look like a compiler issue. Sent a PM to Wolf0 as his cryptonight is the only one with the two speed hashrates. ccminer compiles and works fine. Real nice not to have to mess around getting the nvidia drivers working. I've now retrofitted my older machine, just as easy. I continue to be impressed how well mint works out of the box. I know I'm starting to sound like a shill. |

I've noticed some of the lesser known algos are having some problems since v3.1.
If any users find problems with algos that are listed as supported please report and
retest with v3.0.7.
Checking in: I tested v3.1 & 3.1.1 on 4 different rigs, some still using 3.0.2 others was using 3.07. I'm seeing a great deal more rejects with v3.1/.1 on x11 and is the only algo I've tested. I'm back on the older versions for now, will test newer release as soon as I can find some time. 3.02/3.0.7 only maybe 10 rejects out of 100,000 3.1/.1 somewhere between 8 to 20% rejects. Oh & hash was just a tad lower than v3.02/.07 on x11. Thanks for testing. This is SSE2 right? I have noticed some rejects at startup somretimes but then things settle down. Do the rejects affects the hash rate at the pool? Things are settling down a bit so I will do a thorough performance test to find the best release. There are also some regressions that need to be fixed. My availability will be limited as I just bought a new PC and having problems with it. No was all AES. Not sure on the pool hash rate I didn't have much time here lately to take notes of much else. |

I beleive I've found the bug causing all the rejects in the 3.1 stream. After full testing I will release a new
version with algo-gate fully implemented.

I made a mess of 3.1, sloppy testing. Much cleaner code now. You might want to get in on the lyra2 action on nicehash before the bubble breaks. cpuminer-opt is a particularly good performer on this algo. It's even hit most prof. with GPUs a few times. I thought lyra2 was dead after all the coins converted to v2. I haven't found any existing lyra2 coins that could be driving demand on nicehash. |
