[ANN][PASL]-[PASCAL Lite]-[The Future is Almost Here]

[adaseb]

Alright everybody calm down... Lately there is too much drama in this thread.

We are trying to fix all these issues. If you want to help then go to the github and review the changes.

We are running a testnet version right now seeing if the attacks are under control.

Really good. whos the dev? saves me a lot of headache. but please do impose counter check on time with other nodes.

@xiphon

Didn't realize it was you. good luck man.

Here is the PascalCoin SGMINER Solo miner that you can use with Pascal Lite. Speeds should be much better.

What's the syntax ? doesn't work for me at the moment

Try https://github.com/wolf9466/sgminer-pascal-solo/blob/master/pascal-solo.conf

I didn't get a chance to test it out

THX 4 your contribution,
but anything is useless,
if the greedy ones
are intentitionaly riding the exploits.

... is there anybody using it and getting a block (maybe I´m blind, watching the chain) ?

Can`t run for solo. And bat, and with modded configuration file.
P.S. " Payload prefix from daemon is of an unexpected size."

Dont want to put an issue on github myself, but if you want, please do.

Tx bug - miner work repeating from start
Every time a transaction is published on the network, daemon issue new work to miner to include latest tx, as result miner start again from the beginning work. If tx would be as many as possible per block can handle, this would lead to network lag and crawl as pow submitted by miner will be invalid if not all tx is included.
   Work around
    a. possible integration of existing getblocktemplate into pascal lite.
    b. set max tx inclusion per work(1block). Bitcoin does have size limit. (ugly but can do)


Note: documentation only.

Yeah I just tried it and got the same thing. I also got the same issue with PascalCoin 1.5.0

Maybe we need to set a special node name and such.

Maybe you guys can ask Wolf0 for some info on how to run it.

The work is restarted from scratch but since the hashing is completely random it shouldn't be an issue. Since each hash is independant of the prior. Is this what you are asking or did I read it incorrectly?

shouldn't be problem now. but it makes miner current work to start again that includes the last tx received. if you press the miner to submit work without the last tx, work is invalid.

Some updates.

We are working on many of these bugs that need improvement. If you are interested you can see what we changed in the Github.

1. Fixed critical bug with future timestamps
2. Implemented median network time adjustment
3. Fixed memory leaks, wallet is more stable now.

The timestamp bug will have to be done in stages because the way the code is written is that it doesn't take the time from the wallet but instead it uses the time provided by the miner which is set by the local system time. So the wallet now has the correct time set by the network seed nodes however the blocks still get processed using the time set by the miner software; which is the computers local time. Reason is the mining software ignores what the RPC daemon is saying and still uses the system clock. We will however issue a temporarily fix by changing the allowed future time gap from 180sec to 5-15 seconds to tighten the window on the block cheaters. In the future this will be reverted when we implement the correct logic.

Reason why this is not an easy fix is because say that for some reason the network time is incorrect on all the nodes, and all miners have a correct time. Then what will happen is that all the miner's blocks might get rejected. A good example of this is the daylight savings shift.

The wallet should be more stable now since the memory leak is fixed. Before you had to restart the wallet from time to time but now there are no issues after few hours of testing.

So a few more fixes and then I will issue the new wallet which will be version 1.4.3.

There will also be a bounty for development which was donated by CMCMCM which will be in account 0. This will be primarily for software development. So if you are interested in the bounty and have some development experience and can fix some bugs then its for you.

[anorganix]

Also, Albert released PASC 1.5.2 which has some nice fixes.

### Build 1.5.2.0 - 2017-03-03

- Added a jobs buffer for miners. This will allow to submit old job solutions (limited buffer). (Fix the "tx" issue)
- Miner jobs will not be sent every time a transaction is received, thet will be buffered and sent every few seconds (Fix the "tx" issue)
- Better network performance, allowing more operations and nodes thanks to buffering before relaying
- Daemon: Allow select on ini file how many connections can handle
- Fixed a locking when deleting connections

Yes donation received!

This donation will be used as a bounty payment for the development of Pascal Lite to improve its code and fix all the bugs.

I've asked him. He told me: "Prefix must be 16 chars."
But I don't know what to do with that...

Seems to work

Just set node name and username in sgminer to something like 0123456789abcdef

However I am getting 100% CPU usage and its very slow.

[hannusolo]

Yeah it seems to be the same at me too. ~90% cpu load and only 1600mh/s insted of the 2200mh/s

[code_honesty]

Yeah it seems to be the same at me too. ~90% cpu load and only 1600mh/s insted of the 2200mh/s

sgminer accepts commands, for more try help. usually this will do

Code:

sgminer.exe -k pascal -o stratum+tcp://127.0.0.1:4009 -u x -p x -I 21 -w 64 -g2

[VizzerdrixUA]

How i can get wallet and adr?
