[HODL] Bounty for CPU Miner - Now at Ħ4000

[FreeTrade]

Update: This task has now been successfully completed and the bounty has been paid.


I'm setting up a bounty fund for a completed CPU miner for HOdlcoin on behalf of the HOdlcoin team.

We're looking for a CPU miner to help get mining pools started. The job involves updating a cpu-miner to include the HOdl algorithm and producing a windows and linux binary that can then be used with standard pool software.

Preferred solution is as a pull request to

https://github.com/HOdlcoin/GOdl

(fork of tpruvot/cpuminer-multi)

The bounty fund is at

HGoDLMxjWsuLfq3mEBJL463KwVMtcD6d32
http://www.tekyexplorer.xyz/hodl/address.php?address=HGoDLMxjWsuLfq3mEBJL463KwVMtcD6d32

Bounty will be paid on completion

50% as an immediate payment
50% as a term locked deposit (matures in 1 year at approx 40X amount)

Anybody can add to the fund, just send funds to the address above.

Update 1:
I'm putting in a floor of .00010000 for the first 4000 HODL of the bounty - if the price falls below that, I'll purchase up to 4000 at that price from the winner.

Update 2:

Sam has added a BTC Bounty - to be stored at

1BountyELvhYAqKFPr6aFCBKyAJTjywoqW
https://blockchain.info/address/1BountyELvhYAqKFPr6aFCBKyAJTjywoqW

Winner will receive both bounties and anyone can add to either bounty address.

Also, bounty includes any interest accumulated at the bounty address.

I have contributed 200 Hodl to the bounty address.

Would love to see a qualified dev take on this task.

Note: The bounty amount is fair amount, even at this point given the difficulty of solo mining it.
However, the later payout will be even greater once the other 50% gets unlocked. 

Good luck to whoever takes on this task.

OK I just send over 250.42326403

Total is now 1500.52321703

Is GOdl fork somehow usable or algo is completely missing?

[FreeTrade]

The algo is completely missing from GOdl.

The link to the algo is here -
https://github.com/HOdlcoin/HOdlcoin/blob/HODLCoin0.11.3/src/patternsearch.cpp
https://github.com/HOdlcoin/HOdlcoin/blob/HODLCoin0.11.3/src/primitives/block.cpp


A very similar algo was added previously to a older version of this project, called mmcminer - so that might be instructive.

Added 75, now 1575 total.

Nice bounty!

Should I HODL my coins, or use them for the project development?

I think it is excusable to spend some 

25 are on the way.

Sent 400 to make it an even 2000 bounty.

Hey Wolf, yep,

Proof of Work

1GB AES Pattern Search POW. Pattern Search involves filling up RAM with pseudo-random data, and then conducting a search for the start location of an AES encrypted data pattern in that data. Pattern Search is an evolution of the ProtoShares Momentum PoW, first used in MemoryCoin and later modified for use in CryptoNight(Monero,Bytecoin), Ethash(Ethereum).  CPU/GPU friendly.

Oh HELL the fuck no. You don't have getwork in there - there needs to be a serious bounty before I implement GBT for this thing.

Thanks for taking the time to look over the code and giving us your opinion.

Thanks your for your professional opinion on this. I speak on behalf of the HOdlcoin team when I say we are disappointed that you don't find the project interesting. Perhaps if the bounty accumulates or the value of HOdlcoin become less opaque, that might change. On the technical points, I think mmcminer is nearly already a getwork capable miner, but as we're forked from .11.2, getblocktemplate is required. As GBT supports free mining, it is more in keeping with distributed and participatory aims of HOdlcoin.

I apologize if I came off as abrasive - it's just that GBT can be a LOT of boring work if the block format differs from Bitcoin's in ANY way, including how you build it.

Yes, a little curt maybe But appreciate your insight as I don't know the ins and outs of GBT. I've tried to ensure minimal changes from the Bitcoin format, but there are some. I'm not in a position to know if they affect GBT.

Ok, thanks, I think I understand. Our major innovation is that outputs can be larger than inputs as interest is added based on the age of inputs and some other rules. So I guess that would need to be added in. I'm now wondering if it would be easier to add pool polling/share submits to the wallet, rather than adding algo+block creation to cup miner. Not concerned about miner performance so much as ease of use and reducing variance for new users.

Q: What is the official animal of HOdlcoin?
The squirrel is the official animal of HOdlcoin. The squirrel is the animal kingdom's natural HOdler.

Okay, maybe I'll look into it if I have some time. But no promises.

what if I threw in a hug and a kiss?

[FreeTrade]

Looks to be about $300 at current market rates, but would expect that to increase on completion of a pool miner and addition of an exchange!
