How can I check current difficulty and money supply. Can't find relevant commands in help

We need to get a block explorer running, it's on our pressing to-do list. But you can get a fairly close approximation of the money supply this early on by typing
bc_height
in simplewallet

that currently gives
3573
multiply that by approx block reward seen while mining (though this will be approx, because remember in CryptoNote coins the reward goes down a very small amount each block). But it's 8.78ish, so total money supply is currently around 31,370ish.

thats good enough. What about difficulty?

do'h. Sorry, as you can imagine, I'm having a crushingly busy day.

So...  a block explorer would show this..

The commands are a bit ugly. lol. In bipcoind:
set_log 3
print_bc 3600

Each block contains its difficulty. (remember, changes with CryptoNote coins each block)

Difficulty of the last block when I checked a bunch of minutes ago and forgot to post to you:

height 3617, timestamp 1471798573, cumul_dif 447249453, cumul_size 208
id              <8ff004b8695969ade481d7830ca83bb6588d89a2d80e55319d0b2c45130728ce>
difficulty              1233230, nonce 1431655851, tx_count 0


difficulty is 1.2 million.

Heres a pool with 1% fee if anyone wants to use it

*the cryptonote easyminer is not configured so dont use it in the getting started section*

For BipCoin? Where? There was no link.

That was pretty damn quick and amazing. Thank you for your service!
we'll try it out and if it rocks, we'll pimp the heck out of it.

Do you possibly feel like setting up a block explorer too?

brb.....multitasking in 20 different directions....

got some payments going out slowly the difficulty is really high and payments are a little behind due to an issue with the pools wallet i have since resolved but slowy but surely

Nice.

Just added at note about it on the BipCoin website, here:
https://bipcoin.org/?page_id=16

In a day or two, after some testing from me and some others, I'll write a full tutorial with screenshots.

Thank you for your service!

Glad to be getting in on the ground floor of this.

And just to show it can work even on a crappy system...

Windows 7
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @2.4GHz
8 GB RAM

Hashing at about 40

Nice. This morning that was actually getting mad coin. Now not so much as a bunch of people came on.

Are you using the mining pool or solo? Pool info it two posts up. The linked CryptoNote Easy Miner runs fine on my Win 7, not on my Win 10s.

i will wait for this tutorial to understand more about BipCoin it is a good idea to create this one dev.
good luck and keep it up mate.

I am solo mining to start out with... gonna let it run overnight.

CPU temp is currently at 120° F

Make sure you put a fan on the computers while mining so they don't burn out. With laptops, prop them up with blocks so air gets under and over. With desktops I put an extra fan inside. Pix of both about 3/4 way down this page:
https://bipcoin.org/?page_id=93

Did you specify a number when you started mining?

start_mining 2

for instance? if you don't specify, it puts in 1. The number should be one less than the number of cores your processor has. More is better. If you have a quad core and type 3, it will mine faster than if you have two cores and type 1.

If you didn't specify a number and you have a quad core or 8 cores, type
stop_mining
then start mining again, specifying a number.

If the number is too high, you'll get a error message in red, and can go down 1 number at a time until it works.

Only using 75% CPU power...  but my operating temp is actually great, not to high at all, and remaining steady

Hyperthreading seems to have only a marginal effect unlike other algorithms (like HOdl, where threads are almost as good as proper cores)

I find on my 6-core 12 thread cpu that 7 seems to be optimal, giving about 220 H/s and the machine is still perfectly usable.

I can complete the greek translation if you give out bounties dev.

can u answer this dev?

Yes.

I appreciate the offer, but we have a lot of work to get done building the ecosystem before we can even consider translations.
