hi all ...
as you know - a lot of work has been going in to the backend of the b3coin network ... and im happy to say ( yes - about time ) that all is well on the code and compile side of the coin ( pardon the pun ) ...
the compile is being tested again currently - and if all goes well - we will push it to the production servers for the seednodes to start ... this will make it a great deal easier to sync for everyone when the devs decide to merge the code ive changed - or at least just hardcode the seed addresses into the wallet - then compile windows / osx wallets with the core changes for the next version ...
for those of you that cannot wait ...
the seednodes will be setup as dns addresses so they are easier to remember than ip addresses ...
the seednodes will be completely dedicated to the network ...
the seednode addresses can be placed in the B3.conf - instead of hundreds of ips ...
they will take the following form ( and these are the same addresses that will be hardcoded into the new wallets ) ...
addnode=b3-seed01.chainworksindustries.com
addnode=b3-seed02.chainworksindustries.com
addnode=b3-seed03.chainworksindustries.com
addnode=b3-seed04.chainworksindustries.com
addnode=b3-seed05.chainworksindustries.com
addnode=b3-seed06.chainworksindustries.com
addnode=b3-seed07.chainworksindustries.com
these are all the seeds you need to remember to add into the conf file - before the new wallets come out of course ... from the next version onwards - you wont need ANY addnode address in the conf file - and it is preferable none are added to reduce issues in the network ...
further to this - as a bonus ... we have built a pool for b3coin - with both low difficulty stratum ( lodiff ) and high difficulty stratum ( hidiff ) - as a welcome addition to our setup of pools for chainworks industries ( cwi ) ...
for more information on the details of the pools and their designations and colour coding - please visit our official thread on bitcointalk ( which is also being redesigned and updated in the coming weeks ) here -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1563601 ...
to access the pool and start mining - go to the landing page for cwi-pools and just click the b3coin pool ...
you will find it loads within the page itself - not opening a new browser window ( your feedback is always welcome if you dislike this way of access ) ...
register - and wait a few minutes for the confirmation email ...
confirm via email ...
login in with the credentials you registered with ...
setup you profile - which includes your workers - payout address - payout amount - etc ...
you are ready to start mining ...
due to having two difficulty stratums - there are two different ports to access ...
lodiff port 8003 - for cpu - gpu - smaller asic miners ...
hidiff port 8503 - for larger asic miners - farms - nicehash - miningrigrentals - and other sites you can rent hash from with a high hashrate ...
below is the addresses for the miners ...
http://pool.chainworksindustries.com:8003/
http://pool.chainworksindustries.com:8503/
ALL cwi pools have a very low fee of 0.7% ... thats it ... it will not change - whether testing or production ...
when the b3coin pool is tested for the qualifying 7 days from its official launch in a few minutes - AND any issues ( if at all ) are fixed - then the b3coin pool will be designated production - and also change colour ... this will NOT affect your mining in any way when this transition occurs ...
as always - we hope that the miners of the community will help use the b3coin pool - and thrash the daylights out of it to make sure it is solid and stable ...
please remember to use the correct ports - otherwise your miner will end up with many rejected shares ...
if there are any issues - please contact as soon as an issue occurs ... i am in australia ( though cwi is spread all over the world between us - 'theteam' ) - and it will be me handling any issues that may arise ... so please be patient ...
access to the b3coin pool ( and the other pools we areslowly building in our arsenal of mining pools ) is here -
http://pool.chainworksindustries.com/ ...
all your donations are always helpful ... especially for the seednodes ...
by the time this is published - i will be getting to bed ... and its already almost 0600 monday morning ...
