Edit: ccminer doesn't have a -i setting but it has a launch configuration, but changing that to something small with <100 H/s is still making the PC unusable.

Told ya it aint worth it. And if you are getting 450 H you must have a very stron GPU, consuming more electricity than even an i7 5930

Did the pool break? (and the blockchain explorer)
and it says: Coins emitted 0,  Difficulty 0,  Network hashrate 0 H/s

They said DDoS.

Who would bother DDOSing that pool?

I mean, in a way its a good sign if bipcoin gets enough attention to attract a ddos but I find it hard to believe at this point

We are running multiple pools on this server. Yesterday and today all pools of another Cryptonote coin were DDoSed. We are working hard on the problem. It may take a while, but the block explorer and the pool will be back online as soon as possible.

I'm a ridiculously ignorant noob.  In the daemon I keep seeing in red "Block reorganized as orphaned and rejected..."  A few lines later I see "Alternative blockchain size: 2 with cum_difficulty...."  It does end up saying that my sync is ok and returns to showing my absolutely amazing hash rate of 36.  This happens every few minutes.  Can anyone explain to me what is happening here.  Or at least point me in the right direction to learn this stuff myself.  So I can cease being a ridiculously ignorant noob.

[OrsonJ]

I don't have much experience with cryptonote coins but the majority of the blocks I'm finding are being orphaned and I'm beginning to find it suspicious. Is it possible for nodes not to acknowledge blocks they didn't create? And what determines the best chain when the reorganizations take place?

Okay.  So i jut checked in on my laptop and it says i FINALLY mined some Bips (Woohoo!)  but it doesn't show up in the locked amount balance.  Does this take awhile, or was I just duped into being happy for a minute? 

[EpyxZ]

lol. Cryptonote basic code has buried deep in it, a public key. No one knows what. But it's basically a back door. Probably just a test net thing the developers left in by accident. But leaving it in makes the coins vulnerable. Many CryptoNote coins leave it in. Monero and BipCoin take it out, maybe one or two more, I didn't have time to check them all.

Did not know this. Learn something new in this thread every day :p other day was the anon transfers.

For me, it always shows up in the locked amount almost instantly. If it doesn't, you might have been mining to a different wallet

I don't even know how that would be possible.  I only have one wallet set up on this machine.

I used to get that red warning about orphaned whenever I mined a block that ended up being rejected. Have you mined any?

close wallewt and daemon, try deleting everything from %appdata%\bipcoin and restart daemon to sync from scratch. The blockchain is still very small so no problems

Then start wallet, give it the "reset" command to look again for transactions from the beginning.
list_transfers afterwards for more detail

Chances are you will find your latest mined block missing but the problems should stop. You will still be getting some wrong transactions errors but nothing you can do about that.


@MWD64 (or anyone who has a clue)

When the chain forks how come all these problems arise instead of everyone just adopting the longer chain automatically?
That's the case with "common" bitcoin clones (yeah, bip is a monero clone, I know) isn't it?

It was probably orphaned, it's happened for all six blocks that I mined today.

Well, that would figure for the first two that I was finally able to mine after being at this for days.  Thanks for the info.

The available balance is the coins that have confirmed.  If they show in the locked amount it means that they have not confirmed.  Coins start locked and then are unlocked and available after ten confirmations.

Someone just sent me 1.2 coins, I don't know why/who.
Edit. it might be the pool

yep. I got payments too 
Guess I'll start mining again

The pool seems to be up again, so you can
Can anyone help me set up yam to mine? The other CPU miners don't work for me.

I haven't used it but what more setting up do you need besides the command given in the how to mine section of the pool?

[bspus]

I updated my post. It has more advanced configuration settings, I copied the default ones but it just closes after writing a wall of text.

first of all, if you are using a batch file, add a line with the word pause at the end to see what the wall of text is about

I think the problem is your -c yam-bcn.cfg
Maybe its not needed as it seems to have miner info in there but you provide that at the command line as parameter

Maybe the windows 7 config does not help either. Just use -t <number> for the threads at the end of the command line and remove the -c win64-i7-4770.cfg

Try that and lets see if it works

I assume you have replaced myaddress:x with your address? Include the :x at the end as a password. I suppose it's needed

I left the pc to mine while I was away, when I came back I saw that I mined 5blocks in a row and I was behind with about 300 blocks, how can this  happen while solo mining ? I don't really get it.

did stuff turn around y'all? lots of oddness overnight, but has all worked out on my end, , wallet blocks even with explorer (and explorer back up), and all transfers finall came through. I didn't mine over night, but all sent/received from all wallets, Including CLI and GUI) worked.

If anyone still having problems wants to try redownloading blockchain as a fix, try this:

BACK UP (I CANNOT STRESS THIS PART ENOUGH!!!!!!) BACK UP, AS IN: CLOSE THE WALLETS AND MOVE THESE FILES INTO A DIFFERENT FOLDER), BACK UP any files in AppData.

On Windows it's C:\Users\(user)\AppData\Roaming\bipcoin, On linux they are in ~/.bipcoin) that end in .dat

BACKUP those .dat files to a different folder, then delete them from your AppData folder

then re-start wallets and let sync and see if it fixes things.

Our dev team is going to talk to the Monero dev team later today and see if they know the solution.

Do not despair, y'all 24/7 BipCoin party people, I remember issues with Bitcoin like this early on, even like 3 years in. And CryptoNote-based coins are a rare and unique unicorn that's very different. Different commands, different rules, different behavior.

It's not that off to say that CryptoNote-based coins are almost as different from Bitcoin, as Bitcoin was from BitTorrent.
