Hi all, as discussed through msg with our big contributor Lombaqe, we are facing the problem of slow retargeting when difficulty is high.

Today for example:
Current Difficulty   143.31197786
Est. Next Difficulty   197.81380121 (Change in 60 Blocks)
That's mean that with few miners the blockchain will be soon stuck again for the second time.

Then we have to find a solution for this:
Discussing about the part of code that is causing the slow retargeting:

Code:

static const int64 nTargetTimespan = 4 * 60 * 60; // 4 hours
static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 240; // 4 minute blocks
static const int64 nInterval = nTargetTimespan / nTargetSpacing; // change every 60 blocks
static const int64 nReTargetHistoryFact = 4;

we think that with actual difficulty, 4 hours are too much. To find 60 blocks at starting difficulty is very easy but now with few miners is a mess and could take ages.
We are working on tuning this and we already have an idea on how to modify retarget time, but as we are an open community any feedback on which will be the best solution will be appreciated  
Cheers!

I think it would be good idea to change it into

Code:

static const int64 nTargetTimespan = 4 * 5 * 60; // 20 minutes
static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 240; // 4 minute blocks
static const int64 nInterval = nTargetTimespan / nTargetSpacing; // change every 5 blocks
static const int64 nReTargetHistoryFact = 4;

I know the change would be very radical, but it would also work better with the current state as it would prevent blocks to get stuck for longer period of time. 4 minute block time has never been the problem so no need to change that. as for retarget history check.. maybe change it to 6..?(6 x 20 minutes = 2 hours of history check)

I'd also like to know what others think about this solution

EDIT: could also use history of 12, which would make it 4 hours and would smoothen difficulty change also

Finally, it's great to see some technical discussion here with a new coin. I have accidentally come across this coin and tbh it has caught my interest. In my opinion to see the work gone into this coin already separates it from other shit coins. Time will only tell but it looks like Solarflarecoin is headed in the right direction. To have the wallets, pools and blockchain etc up and running is great. To also have the MAC OX wallet running is even better! Not because I only use mac (also a windows user) but to see the "mac user population" not targeted would be like not really caring that all the audience considered and to me that would limit the interest long term in this coin.

I would like some more specifics about this coin, but being so new I guess time will allow this and I need to do more research.

I do think we need to look at the slow retargeting and to action this remedy very quickly. I have seen many coins get "stuck" and the interest declines very quickly with the coin, and trolls become more apparent. I do not have any programming skills but have been involved in crypto for a few years so have seen how these coins can wither and die quickly. Any coin can die in the future but so far Solarflarecoin is heading the right direction. As I am currently mining this coin, slow retargeting when the difficulty is high is a concern for me at this point and tbh I will switch coins to mine if this is not remedied. I am sure Im not the only miner who will do this. So thank you Lombaqe and other contributors.

Keeping up routine information from the Dev shows commitment and gives stability (not just technically) but those of us who want to buy into this more longer term.

Choosing the correct exchanges is very important but we need volume before being considered on any large exchange (e.g.. Poloniex). I would like to see more social activity on here or elsewhere before getting too excited about this coin, as interest is everything.

I hope to see this coin increase with interest and price.

always nice to see new faces around, welcome  if you want, pm me your email and I can invite you to the sfc slack. I'm there pretty much 24/7 myself and Solar stops by pretty much daily at least once as well with few other of us, so it's easier to talk there about things and oppinions etc

Welcome on our project, as Lombaq said is always nice to see new peoples posting here.
we are happy that interest is growing day bay day, also if with small steps....I'm here always posting, and our mission is to continue on developing, and MAC was one of other missing pieces of the puzzle.
We already discussed about slow retargeting time and we are looking to make the switch as soon as possible.
About the exchanges, we know how important could be get listed in a big and trusted exchange with good amount of daily volume..
Yobit was definitively avoided as we are getting feeling that something strange and big could happen soon on that exchange (slow deposit, missing withdraw, wallet locked, fake trading volume and so on), but we are sure that soon we will get listed on another good exchange
You (and any other) are welcome to discuss on future development here, or can join us on our Slack channel https://solarflarecoin.slack.com

@all: What settings do i have to make when i want solo mining in my wallet? any ports or servers needed?

@all: What settings do i have to make when i want solo mining in my wallet? any ports or servers needed?

if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me, but it should work fine if you add these into %appdata%\Solarflarecoin\Solarflarecoin.conf

Code:

rpcuser=yourusername
rpcpassword=yourpassword
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=any chosen port just remember to use same on your miner settings

Yeah you are right...that settings should works fine!

Feeling lucky that some stupid people's are dumping on me thousand of their coins for such low value
Already happened with previous 600 sat jump and soon will happen again!
See you soon @ 10X actual value!!

PS: love that coin  

We think that who is selling at such low price probably in future will rethink on that  
we recognize that the coin at the moment is traded at a price much below their real price, probably with some new improvements that will jump up, making happy all $SFC holders  

Just today we sent our request to get added on the big family of altcoins of Shapeshift (that could help us a lot on managing our platform payment system) and the exchange Bitstamp.
Not least, soon you will get more info about us on https://www.worldcoinindex.com
