Is anyone else concerned at all with the huge portion of the mining being undertaken by suprnova right now? They are contributing well over 51% of the current hashrate...

https://miningpoollists.com/hush/

We have been aware of this for a while. The community has been increasingly adding more mining pools with non-suprnova pools seemingly becoming more popular. In Slack we whole-heartedly advocate not to mine on a pool that has majority hashrate.

I'm mining on suprnova. Can you guys give me a reason not to?

[bardacuda]

Thinking of mining this, but I just installed the 0.68.6 Windows wallet and noticed the 'Wallet > Encrypt...' function is grayed out. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

If I encrypt the wallet.dat file with a 3rd party tool will that break the wallet software?

was also on some small pool with just few worker connected to it and less than 50% of the expected value there, wasted 12h time before i switched to a larger pool where i nearly reached the expected value (less then 5% difference there).

Because it is in nobody's best interest to put over 50% of hashpower in a single pool. Move to hushpool.cloud for example which is also big enough to even out your income.

I don't want to sound like an asshole, but that reply doesn't convince me to move. I find suprnova easy to use and convenient with plenty of info. I need a real reason why I should move.

SuperNET will put up 2BTC toward a bittrex listing as this allows HUSH to reach its full price potential.

Since bittrex is now consistently doing half of poloniex volumes (up from 15% to 20% a month ago!), this brings a lot of additional liquidity within reach of HUSH and other than a major Chinese (Korean and Japanese) exchange, there wont be a need for any other listings.

On cryptopia, HUSH is consistently at the top of the volume charts and with bittrex volumes being almost 100x cryptopia... Any liquidity based price limitation will be removed.

Now just because it has access to the additional liquidity doesnt mean it will go from 30BTC per day to 300BTC/day, but it has the chance to. And it will allow all the bittrex whales to participate in the coming HUSH price increase.

[Nebell]

Well I hope they wait a couple of months until they list Hush on Bittrex. I need to accumulate more

Have you ever heard of the 51% attack? Here is an article that explains it well. https://learncryptography.com/cryptocurrency/51-attack
They are speaking of bitcoin but I can't see any reason why this would not apply to HUSH as well, someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Having over 51% of the hashrate on suprnova gives them the ability to manipulate the public ledger and allow things like double spend or halting transactions.

I switched to aikapool.com about a month ago and it has been just fine. If you are in this to make money like I am then it's in your best interest to spread the hashrate around make sure nobody has the power to control this coin and potentially ruin it. Especially when it's as easy as making an account and changing one damn line in your config.

Those are very good news. Hope hush will get the its place higher in valuation. It deserves it

I understand your reasoning, don't get me wrong. But in the spirit of decentralizing currencies it is never a good thing if a pool has over 50% of the hashrate. If you are interested in the coin and interested in longer term holding instead of selling as you mine, you might want to learn more about it, as it can impose a real threat on a coin;

Such abuse would not even be very obvious, other pools could see their luck go down or get more orphaned blocks.
Some bitcoin pools in the past have volunteered to give up part of their hashrate in favor of preventing going over 40%, that should give a hint.

Attacks are possible even with one third the hashrate: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1311.0243.pdf

Anybody using the HUSH Swing Wallet for Windows and get connections to network?

I've just installed it and since half an hour not even a single connection

Yes mines working. Get on the slack and ask one of the devs to see if they can help

[VoskCoin]

Hi guys, a couple questions . .

I want to start mining HUSH -- thoughts on solo mining / possibility?

Recommend a pool for pool mining?

Best HUSH wallet / best HUSH wallet to mine to

Open to all input / feedback

[bardacuda]

Solo mining is definitely still do-able depending on how high your Sol rate is. It would probably take about 2 pretty good rigs though to get 1 block / day. You just have to ask yourself 1 question...'Do I feel lucky?' 

I just started mining and am using hushpool.cloud. It's been working good for me, although it would be nice to make the auto payout higher than 0.1 to save on tx fees and have less incoming tx spam. It is paying out steady though and amounts consistent with my hashrate/difficulty. Only thing is you should NOT use suprnova...at least until their % of total network hashrate comes way down.

Couldn't tell you much about wallets other than the ability to encrypt the wallet.dat from the Windows 0.68.6 wallet seems broken.
