Can you please post some nodes ?
Use a recent release which automatically finds peers, dont use hardcoded peers!
Also, turn on I2P.

so cryptopia is back online.. they processed deposits and withdrawals show up as transactions..

but what about the ANC blockchain itself? it is completely fucked up!
the last block was found 8 days(!) ago..

i have 24 peers, the new version 90611 and are on block 565028. cryptopia is also on block 565028.
all other block explorers are down.
so is truely nobody mining ( because of low profitability ) ?

it does even not make sense to mine now.. because of the "retarget every block", it would be the following:
block 565029 = diff 521 ( 50 % of LTC profit, so you have to pay 200% hashing price )
block 565030 = diff very low (  hashing price low but above zero )
block 565031 = diff high again, as everybody mines the low block rapidly.

so i could either mine LTC, or i could mine 1 block ANC for double price plus 1 block ANC for free. so the average value is the same. so my conclusion would be not to mine ANC.....

so i really don't see the advantage of the hardfork??


CS: you probably put a lot of work into this document ( https://wiki.anoncoin.net/GroundRod_PID_main_ver1 ).. but without a proper introduction, a defintion of the different terms and a deeper discussion of the results, its just your own brainfuck, which nobody else can understand ( nor help you with )

interpretation 1: miner perscpective
you fucked it up. ( as the chain is dead now ) - sorry Sad

interpretation 2: user perspective
the is just no demand for a working blockchain. the peak of transactions is 43 per day!
so you could not send anything for 8 days now.. but if somebody would have a urgent transaction, he would just have to add a fee of 3 ANC , so the multipools would see high profit and process the blockchain. That would be 0.48 USD, so an affordable price for a real use case.

but again, lets look at the transaction value ( mining excluded )
Code:
Month(time)	blocks	SUM(transactions)	SUM(volume)
8 1.143 214 147.934,6117284298
7 10.947 1.693 82.260,2236501966


interpretation 3: security
the block reward is just too low. a double-spend attack is very cheap.
 but again see point 2: nobody would care about that as nobody uses ANC:
this month there were only 25000 USD transferred. even with an optimistic fee of 0.1 % we only get 25$ for network security

I'l willing to dedicate some hash power to this if we can get it going again. What's the latest info on pool or solo mining, software, wallet etc.?

Can anyone recommend what to buy to help network? It's tough parsing through what is sensible and relatively economical (in terms of mining at a loss but not a huge loss) to buy equipment. Just wondering.

Hadn't noticed this before now after being rather lazy on the forum.

I had about 4000 anc in an old wallet for which I have lost my password. Are they now irredeemably lost because of the hard fork?

I would be happy to put the Prohashing pool back on Anoncoin, but the daemon just returns "error: {"code":-10,"message":"Anoncoin is downloading blocks..."}" when calling getblocktemplate even though we are on the same block as Cryptopia.

If you lost your pass then yes i would think so.

Is this coin making a comeback ....sad to see the original anon coin in such a sorry state really.

I've tried to install the linux wallet version on a rasberry pi and am getting the error after the make command: "make -j`nproc`"

It looks like the source of the tar file has been deleted from Google and anoncoin.net?

user-desktop:~/anoncoin/depends$ sudo make -j`nproc`
Fetching native_protobuf...
https://protobuf.googlecode.com/files/protobuf-2.5.0.tar.bz2:

How can I get the make command to source the protobuf from a working source here https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v2.5.0/protobuf-2.5.0.tar.bz2 . I presume the wget url within the anoncoin qt setup needs to be modified.

Thanks for any help

so cryptopia is back online.. they processed deposits and withdrawals show up as transactions..

but what about the ANC blockchain itself? it is completely fucked up!
the last block was found 8 days(!) ago..

i have 24 peers, the new version 90611 and are on block 565028. cryptopia is also on block 565028.
all other block explorers are down.
so is truely nobody mining ( because of low profitability ) ?

Thank you for this thoughtful post,

Indeed, nobody was mining for this reason. Because KGW made 150+ easy blocks when a miner found the highest difficulty block, it was a strong intensive for miners to mine after 12 h - 24 h without blocks. Then multipools automatically hoped on for the fest and difficulty went up after 150 quick blocks. Here with GR-PID the process is the same but the reward much lower as about 20 blocks are easy. So nobody care.

Code:
time		blocks	SUM(transactions)	SUM(volume)	AVG(difficulty)	MAX(height)

it does even not make sense to mine now.. because of the "retarget every block", it would be the following:
block 565029 = diff 521 ( 50 % of LTC profit, so you have to pay 200% hashing price )
block 565030 = diff very low (  hashing price low but above zero )
block 565031 = diff high again, as everybody mines the low block rapidly.

so i could either mine LTC, or i could mine 1 block ANC for double price plus 1 block ANC for free. so the average value is the same. so my conclusion would be not to mine ANC.....

You are wrong, sorry in this case the diff will do like this:

Long time with no block, we are at block x:
block x -> difficulty yyy
next block x+1 -> often more difficult (delay of one block in the retargetting system, diff will go up if the diff was increasing, but down 1.7 times if it was decreasing)
block x+2 -> much easier (1.7 times easier than x+1)
block x+3 -> much easier (1.7 times easier than x+2)
block x+4 -> much easier (1.2 to 1.7 times easier than x+3) - now the average of 6 blocks down i hit and hinder the drop of diff
block x+2 -> easier (1.2 times easier than x+1) (1.2 is set by the average limit on 6 blocks and 170%, the exact value I have the data but not on hand right now)
...
~block x+20 -> difficulty at lowest because it decreased 1.2 times each time till now (if less delay in the first block then this lowest block will be ofc before x+20, and the lowest point of difficulty higher)
block x+21 -> difficulty increase x2 when the very long block is throw out of the tipfilter and is no more used in calculation of difficulty
block x+22 -> difficulty increase x2
block x+23 -> difficulty increase x1.3-x2 - now the average of 6 blocks up is hit and hinder the increase of diff
block x+24 -> difficulty increase x1.3 (1.3 is set by the average limit on 4 blocks and 200%, the exact value I have the data but not on hand right now)
...
block x+z -> difficulty reached the maximum because lots of quick blocks appeared the last 21 blocks, this was exagerated because of drop of difficulty and simultaneous increase of hashrate due to multipool switching to mine ANC. The fest is over, difficulty more difficult than LTC so multipool go away. Nobody mine the coin because there is no faithful miner.


so i really don't see the advantage of the hardfork??

This is complicated because there is no permanent mining going on, only multipool. Those actor dont see the advantage over KGW neither, otherwise they would mine. We need some fraction of constant hashrate.

CS: you probably put a lot of work into this document ( https://wiki.anoncoin.net/GroundRod_PID_main_ver1 ).. but without a proper introduction, a defintion of the different terms and a deeper discussion of the results, its just your own brainfuck, which nobody else can understand ( nor help you with )

Do not worry nobody so far is interested in updating the code but me Wink And if someone is interested he will understand easily, the generated csv file is easy to grasp for someone motivated.

interpretation 1: miner perscpective
you fucked it up. ( as the chain is dead now ) - sorry Sad

Well not dead, but certainly it has not intensive to mine like when KGW was the difficulty algo. But then it was unfair too all this instamining every 8 or 12 hours.

interpretation 2: user perspective
the is just no demand for a working blockchain. the peak of transactions is 43 per day!
so you could not send anything for 8 days now.. but if somebody would have a urgent transaction, he would just have to add a fee of 3 ANC , so the multipools would see high profit and process the blockchain. That would be 0.48 USD, so an affordable price for a real use case.

but again, lets look at the transaction value ( mining excluded )
Code:
Month(time)	blocks	SUM(transactions)	SUM(volume)
8 1.143 214 147.934,6117284298
7 10.947 1.693 82.260,2236501966

I dont think multipool would hop on ANC for 3 ANC. It would be interesting to try.

interpretation 3: security
the block reward is just too low. a double-spend attack is very cheap.

Not really, once the block are released on network, and 6 blocks passed, the hashrate is already a lot because the multipools are mining at this time. I would agree if nobody jumped on the chain but this is not what happen, it is just that every miner wait another miner to mine the 1 (or 2) difficult block.

but again see point 2: nobody would care about that as nobody uses ANC:
this month there were only 25000 USD transferred. even with an optimistic fee of 0.1 % we only get 25$ for network security

Like you said user can give the fee they want, but I dont know to what extent this will motivate miner to mine the difficult block?

I'l willing to dedicate some hash power to this if we can get it going again. What's the latest info on pool or solo mining, software, wallet etc.?

Check the first post of this thread. Mining solo with ASIC is fine. Pools are listed on the first post, but some delisted ANC recently, and all are multipools. Mining on multipools makes the problem more difficult.

There will be the release of another wallet soon, with updated PID and moving average values. Until then youcan mine using the wallet listed on the first post of this thread or master on github/anoncoin.

Can anyone recommend what to buy to help network? It's tough parsing through what is sensible and relatively economical (in terms of mining at a loss but not a huge loss) to buy equipment. Just wondering.

Hello tomothy,

Well the network shall be alive even with only multipool hashrate around, I have some idea to make the mining more attractive but have not finish to test it, yet.

Otherwise, apparatus is ASIC Scrypt miner above 100 MH/s is fine, and solo mining or on a p2pool or on a pure anoncoin pool without autoswitcher.

Thanks

network moves again. i really don't understand that difficulty adjustment!

It is normal, there is a delay of two blocks for the retargetting to understand it shall go down. If it was already going down it would have gone at the lowest allowed difficulty, but it was going up the previous block because of all the small blocks preceding.

I will try to do a delay of zero block for the retargetting, that is it will retarget the actual block through getblocktemplate if no one find it after a certain time, this is a part of the solution to resolve the problem. The second change will be in the moving averages to make it less aggressive by averagin more blocks. The last change will be the PID, I will introduce a derivative term.

All those changes were tested already on testnets but not with an hardfork, and some may be difficult to implement using an hardfork, but we will see.

How many different miners are there btw? Is it a one-miner-per-algorithm or can you mine many other different coins? When I started, there were essentially Scrypt and SHA256... now there are LOTS of them, do you need one miner per algo to be the most efficient, or how does it work? Just wondering myself also of buying some dedicated miner and mine some ANC, but if ANC does not provide any good profits I'd want to jump in to some other coin.

Many different mining algorithm, some are for common harware like CPU or GPU, some became for specialized hardware like FPGA and ASIC. Scrypt is now only ASIC minable if you want to ROI.

Hadn't noticed this before now after being rather lazy on the forum.

I had about 4000 anc in an old wallet for which I have lost my password. Are they now irredeemably lost because of the hard fork?

No, they are lost because you have lost the password. If you find back your password, the wallet.dat is totally compatible with the new wallet, after hardfork.

I would be happy to put the Prohashing pool back on Anoncoin, but the daemon just returns "error: {"code":-10,"message":"Anoncoin is downloading blocks..."}" when calling getblocktemplate even though we are on the same block as Cryptopia.

Thank you, this is normal it is because you are stuck in initial block download because the wallet see the last block time stamp far away in the past so thinks there was blocks in between when indeed there were none.

When the next block will be found it will synchronize if you are connected to peers. I just patched a wallet to make it avoid this error and will run my ASIC to find the next block soon.

If you lost your pass then yes i would think so.

Is this coin making a comeback ....sad to see the original anon coin in such a sorry state really.

Well after the next tuning of parameters it will roll again.  Wink



please explain:
Difficulty 0.00000045
Network hash 5.65 GH/s

See https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/blob/master/src/rpcblockchain.cpp

Code:
Value getdifficulty(const Array& params, bool fHelp)
{
    if (fHelp || params.size() != 0)
        throw runtime_error(
            "getdifficulty\n"
            "\nReturns the proof-of-work required difficulty now at the tip of the block chain.\n"
            "\nResult:\n"
            "n.nnn       (numeric) The minimum difficulty is defined as 1 and this result is linear relative to that value.\n"
            "            Smaller values indicate harder, larger an easier difficulty and all blocks will have a value < 1.\n"
            "\nExamples:\n"
            + HelpExampleCli("getdifficulty", "")
            + HelpExampleRpc("getdifficulty", "")
        );

    LOCK(cs_main);
    return GetDifficulty();
}

(...)

//! Returns the floating point number that represents a multiple of the minimum
//! difficulty that was required, and found within the given block index entries
//! nBits field.  If the block index pointer given is NULL, then we use the active
//! chain tip block index as the one for which this evaluation is made.
//! minimum difficulty = 1.0, and the value goes down when difficulty is harder,
//! and up when the difficulty is easier.
double GetDifficulty(const CBlockIndex* blockindex)
{
    if (blockindex == NULL)
    {
        if (chainActive.Tip() == NULL)
            return 1.0;
        else
            blockindex = chainActive.Tip();
    }
    uint256 uintBlockDiff;
    uintBlockDiff.SetCompact( blockindex->nBits );
    return 1.0 / GetLinearWork( uintBlockDiff, Params().ProofOfWorkLimit( CChainParams::ALGO_SCRYPT ) );
}

As many people are confuse about the difficulty value returned by getdifficulty, in the next release it will return GetLinearWork( uintBlockDiff, Params().ProofOfWorkLimit( CChainParams::ALGO_SCRYPT ) ) and not the inverse of this value.

I think this is also the reason why coinwarz and coinmarketcap delisted anoncoin... so this will also be patched, people prefer a difficulty going to infinity than to zero. This was a choice of GroundRod to reflect the actual true value of difficulty which indeed becomes smaller as it becomes more difficult, but the community do not like it (and me neither BTW).



I've tried to install the linux wallet version on a rasberry pi and am getting the error after the make command: "make -j`nproc`"

It looks like the source of the tar file has been deleted from Google and anoncoin.net?

How can I get the make command to source the protobuf from a working source here https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v2.5.0/protobuf-2.5.0.tar.bz2 . I presume the wget url within the anoncoin qt setup needs to be modified.

Thanks for any help



I did not have this issue when building today on linux, did you try again? Otherwise I posted how to build without toolchain, try it maybe?

So cryptopia is right and BTC38 shall resynchronize their wallet.

Hope it help, CS

Okay it's because the Anoncoin library is setup for Intel so won't work on Raspberry Pi 1,2 or 3. SSE and SSE2 are Intel/AMD specific extensions that are not supported on ARM, ARM has it's own NEON SIMD extensions. It seems to me like I was trying to cross-compile a program for ARM and using the native Anoncoin g++ toolchain. Rasbpberry Pi seems to work in installing the bitcoin wallet because the Bitcoin library includes Arm support. Arm support sometime in the future possibly?

from what it seems cryptopia is about to remove the anc market because of wallet sync issues
Well, Cryptopia's ANC wallet is locked (again).  They typically don't have much patience for issues with coin clients, regardless of the cause.  So I would not be surprised if they announced they were removing ANC even if the cause was not the developer's fault.

Thank you four the reply, CS  Smiley
Like you said user can give the fee they want, but I dont know to what extent this will motivate miner to mine the difficult block?
it's quite simple. let's say the diff is 130 and the price 0.00017753
empty block: Reward 2.5 -> Profit 0.0684496
block with fee 2.5: Reward 5 -> Profit 0.1368992
a modern multipool should see the difference.. ( coinbasevalue )
