Block height reached. Any issues? Looks good from my end. Difficulty is re-targeting.

All good here merge mining with p2pool

Who's mining scrypt? I want to give you my hashrate!

Current short term goals:

-More pools, lots of pools. Hashrate is good for now, but we need wider distribution.

-Bitsquare.io

-Yobit

*I'll be sending the requests in the coming days/week

Mid to long term:

-Poloniex

-Shapeshift.io

-Bittrex

-Mobile wallets (Coinomi would be perfect)

Long term:

-Payment processor/the ability to exchange goods and services for Argentum.


Please post your suggestions.

Hi,

We've added ARG to the miners multipool on both SHA & SCRYPT algos: www.zpool.ca

Cheers!

I strongly advise you not to approach Yobit, their support is non-existent. I have missing deposits & no access to some of my wallets for the last 6 weeks with all my support tickets being ignored. I am not the only one they have stolen from, check their thread out:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=914975.msg15971600#msg15971600

Nothing but trouble & lies with Yobit. Bitsquare is the future.

Let's work together and get on another exchange.

New website is up at http://www.argentum.io

A new github organization and repo has been assembled, and I'm getting version 2.3.1 ready that adds checkpoints and disconnects obsolete versions (2.2 and below.)

If you have an account at bter.com be sure to vote for Argentum, it's number 9 (it will take a while.) If you have about 30k BTR, you can vote for Argentum 10 times every hour.

As always, please let me know if there's any issues with mining or the network in general.

[protonn]

Argentum v2.3.1 is here, it's a minor update.

This version has new checkpoints, disconnects obsolete versions (anything before 2.3, as they are no longer compatible with the network) and other minor changes.

*New repo* and last repo change. I've now consolidated all Argentum projects under one place.

Wallets updated & running fine.

It's great to see a dev constantly improving a coin - well done!

I've been working on an Electrum port for Argentum. Check it out and let me know if any of you can get a server up and running. Check the HOWTO.md file for instructions.

I'd like to reach out to the miners and ask for feedback on the MAX_BlOCK_ALGO_COUNT parameter. It's currently set to accept 3 blocks in a row from the same algorithm to help promote even distribution between algorithms. Is anyone seeing too many rejects from this?

What other features would you all like to see?

[sweet bird]

Argentum is most popular among its rivals currencies as it has long term stable investment, and growth based upon your services and the most likely feature is transfer of currency into less

At Prohashing we are losing 5.06% of the blocks we find due to the limit.  Since Argentum is merge-mined, there's little reason for us to put code into our mining server that doesn't mine if we find a certain number of consecutive blocks (since the hashes are still valid for the primary coin).  We just automatically adjust the number of Argentum we pay miners based upon the success rate of block submission.

I can understand your reasoning for implementing the limit, and the network is large enough (or my pool is small enough) that we aren't really affected by it.  My experience is with scrypt though; I don't know how the SHA-256D people are doing.

Thanks for the feedback. I've noticed it happening most often when hash-rates are fluctuating (no surprise there), but I didn't have an idea as to the extent of it. Yesterday morning Cryptcollector noticed the blockchain had stalled for 4-5 hours and it was due to this. Not ideal at all. I have to wonder if it would smooth itself out with more miners/hashrate, but since there will be fluctuation regardless, it might be ideal to raise it to 5 or 6 MAX.

On another note, I have a working build of Coinomi with Argentum integration I'm testing right now. Everything is working well, hopefully I can push it out the door soon.

If anyone wants to test the Argentum Electrum server, here it is https://github.com/argentumproject/electrum-arg-server. I have a 1000 transaction database I'm going to try have hosted somewhere so I can integrate it with the "Configure" script in Electrum for an easy download since building a DB from scratch takes a long time.

*Release*

Version 2.3.3

BIP32 version bytes changed to Bitcoin's since ours was jibberish (iYo4 or something close to
that.) This keeps it in line with acceptable BIP32 version naming
schemes.

Hi Argentum community,
CoinVault dev wallet here.

Would you be interested in adding ARG to https://www.coinvault.io/

PM for details

[protonn]

Be sure to upgrade to v2.3.3 as it's an important update for Argentum's BIP32 compatibility in the future.

If you use BIP32 in your infrastructure for Argentum you'll need to swap to a new wallet because restoring an old BIP32 wallet via seed phrase on Argentum v2.3.3+ will not be possible.

Argentum will use xpub/xprv going forward.

Hopefully we'll be number one in the next round.
