[ANN][ANC] Anoncoin (anoncoin.net) | Privacy-centric currency | I2P darknet

[Cryptoslave]

Thanks for rebuilding. Just wondering, is abe very just very slow or is there a problem again. Since a transaction has been created, how long should one expect it to take before becoming visible?

Hi,

Multipools do not mine ANC TX, so there was a lot accumulating. So much that I had to take the old ASIC lying around and repair it, when I mined the first block I got 50 ANC of fees

Clearly multipools are stupids to not mine TX, I will left my ASIC mining on the network now that it is repaired. If others miners would come mining Anoncoin without using such multipools that dismiss TX this would be great.

Thank you to the users that put such high fees to miners! It is very much appreciated

Hi @Cryptoslave , thanks for all the good job you have been doing?, i rent miners to mine at pools how do you mean by multipools do not mine "ANC TX?" I want to be clear please is there any pool you can suggest that mine "ANC TX" as im making use of rented miners?

I was mining in the hash-to-coins pool on ANC (turned off coin-hopping), but yesterday afternoon difficulty tanked and transactions got stuck. This morning I see h2c has disabled ANC mining in their pool. I'm guessing other pools have done the same. I've switched to solo-mining but my GPU only gives 17kh/s so I'm not contributing much. Kicking myself, if I switched to solo preemptively yesterday I could have landed the 50ANC fees.

[cryptogaga]

I also was mining at hashtocoins, after htc crash i quickly moved my miners to xpool.net but xpool has not paid me a single ANC even though on the blockchain it shows i was with the biggest hashrate and earning but xpool did not pay me for my work

xpool had 1.5 GH hashrate the 21 June but only 100 MH the 22 June. They found a lot of blocks. If you configured your address correctly it shall work.

Nonetheless, people who have more than 100 MH/s of hashrate shall solo mine IMHO. It is very easy to setup and excellent for strengthening the Anoncoin network. Save this text into anoncoin.conf and place it in your %appdata%/anoncoin directory (or in /anoncoin/data for anci2pd). Change username and password to the same value than set on your asic. Uncomment #rpcallowip=192.168.0.0/24 and set it to you asic IP. Point your asic to this wallet IP address.

People with GPU shall not mine anoncoin, this is profitable only for SCRYPT asic, mine other altcoin (privacy focussed are zcash, monero).

Yes, when i noticed Hastocoins crashed i rented miners from MRR about 1.4GH to support the network and i used my ANC address as username and mining was fine but i have gotten no payment from Xpool i thought i should wait but its like Xpool owner refused to pay me

[cryptogaga]

Guys does this ""Warning: (from bitcoind) This is a HARDFORK build for block 585555"" on xpool.net ANONCOIN Page mean the pool is behind? i dont understand why i didnt get paid

Funny, they seem to run an unofficial solo p2pool instance. Thats not the idea of a p2pool. i'd avoid it just because of that. They should either provide the source of their p2pool version (so others can run their own instance and connect to them) or connect to the (no longer existing due to no more people joinin) ANC p2pool network.

EDIT: found the source they use. its bugged and dosnt even mine bigger txs, hence cryptoslave has to do it.

I am confused here i dont know if you can help me understand whats going on?  Is there a systemic problem with the blockchain or the xpool owner is refusing to pay me for work done?

EDIT.
This is a screenshot of my address as available from abe explorer, it shows on the blockchain some blocks found but it doesnt reflect on my balance what could be wrong pls?

they likely havent found a block yet, hence your not paid. just because someone found a block, dosnt mean your automatically paid. the pool you mine at has to find the block.

But looking at my address it showed blocks were found yesterday when the network was down i rented 1.4 GH to mine and at that time im sure i mined a lot of blocks but my balance is not in agreement, looking at the screenshot you can see blocks found and yesterday the pool found most blocks as Cryptoslave confirmed

so you were paid 101 ANC for 88 blocks found. You would have got 110 ANC if you were solo mining + fees. You lost 9 ANC because on begining it balanced your hashrate with miner that was there before you so you gave them your reward and the more you mined the more the proportion went to you as you had the bigger hashrate and the pool algorithm then gave you more like a proportional pool with averaging of block reward on several blocks. You see it clearly your gain increase over time till you max out at 1.25 ANC.

I see this pool mine blocks has it got fees on the last blocks 3.95599295 ANC is Generation: 1.25 + 3.219 total fees.

IMO if you think you miss block reward it is just because of the proportional averaging of the mining pool, with such a huge hashrate you shall point it to your own node to get the full block reward+fees, but if the hashrate is rented you need to open your ports to point if from outside. You could also rent less hash power but for a longer time (days) to avoid this issue, and point this constant hashrate at xpool, if this is cost effective for you.

default max tx size mineable by p2pool is 15kB AFAIK. so the big txs with lots of fees cannot be mined with p2pool (my version can.)

Yes thats my address from btc38 and i use it to mine on pools when i can the balance is not exactly accurate as it only shows entire transaction i wish i had that 4k+ though.  Thanks for making things clear now

[cryptogaga]

Ok i am quite a noob in mining, is your pool open to the public? if yes i could point miners when i can so whats the stratum.....?

[cryptogaga]

  you need to open your ports to point if from outside.

 Im Sorry to be so buggy but Please how can i open my ports?

[Cryptoslave]

This depends of your modem/router/firewall. I cannot help you for that sorry :S

Otherwise, you can also rent a small digital ocean VPS like a 10$/month droplet, install ubuntu (automatically done), install anoncoin following https://wiki.anoncoin.net/How_to_build_Anoncoin_from_source#Ubuntu_64_bit_or_Debian_8 , synchronize with the bootstrap.dat and configure correctly the anoncoin.conf in ~/.anoncoin
If you want to be a node for the i2p network you can also install i2p or i2pd and configure the anoncoin.conf in mixed mode (commented #onlynet=i2p and all others #onlynet= , and [i2p.options] enabled=1). It is better to not be in onlynet=i2p if you want to mine on this node because of an increase in stale blocks (although this is possible you will lose a small part of mined blocks due to increased propagation time, thereby reducing your mining efficiency).

Hope it helps and thank you to strengthen the Anoncoin network (especially if you happen to mine TX)!

Thank you for taking your time to enlighten me i think the digital ocean option is my best bet, how do i ensure to mine TX? and is there any incentive for running a node without mining?

Anoncoin 0.9.6.13 setup for win32 and win64 have been uploaded on Github!

https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/releases/tag/5e441d8

[CartmanSPC]

Hi all...been out of the crypto world for a while. I see there is a new version of ANC...does anyone have the 64 bit non-installable (zip) version?

Not sure right now what version the pool runs but I think it is 0.9.6.12.
Is that still compatible or do I need to update it as well? If so then I will (try) compile the Linux version from the source.

I know the version of p2pool I run does not support the larger TX's but I don't feel like maintaining a different p2pool code base just for ANC than the other coins.

If you feel it is appropriate I can just take down the p2pool node I run.
