paul lol thats weird, feather coin pool was fine. Perhaps you can reopen with cloudfare?

Feather coin pool was what now? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179267.60

Blocks come very fast set your miner to ask for work more often say every second.

solo mining ?
i've 4 rig,each rig has 4 cards.i'm currently mining with rig 4.
how do i merge them together to solo mining

[alex_fun]

Ron you dont have to imo. It is your % of total hash rate relative to total hash rate. Think of it as gold mining and number of pix axes Latency matters somewhat

Balt I downloaded the windows client, nice logo btw. It takes ages to download block chain, while on linux server its really fast, any ideas?

[Balthazar]

It's not my project, just built it for win32.

It takes ages to download block chain

Maybe you need add some peers manually?

[ronaldinho_07]

anyone can help me to connect 4 rig together
imy smallchange.conf file on the main machine

Code:

addnode=54.246.222.7
addnode=80.123.216.178
addnode=199.195.214.166
addnode=74.121.182.150:16001

server=1
 
rpcuser=...
rpcpassword=...
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.1.8
rpcallowip=192.168.1.12
rpcallowip=192.168.1.13
rpcport=9031

it's running fine on the main machine with this setting
cgminer --scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:9031 -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -E 1 -s 1 --thread-concurrency 8000 -I 18 -g 1 -w 256 --gpu-vddc 0.931,1.045,1.08

but on the client,it doesn't run

I see.. there has been some activity while I've been sleeping   Thanks everyone for participating!

well if we had an honest monopolist than 10 second blocks could work ok =P.   [..]

Nice disucssion! I'll come back to that.

I don't do 51's.... count my hash power as initial 'security'

Thanks!

Things to consider when launching a coin...  maybe create 3 pools, and some incentive for people to spread out and complete?

Yes, good point. Also the launch strategy itself would do good with some adjustment. It might had been better to gradually give more block reward than instantly give the full one at some arbitrary point.

Alright, crashing out.  It's been fun.  Do we want to do anything with this after it's been mined,

I'd be interested in debug files of solo miners (e.g. ~/.smallchange/debug.log; shouldn't contain anything sensitive, but you might want to send it directly to: bfroemel [at] gmail [dot] com). I did some solo mining too during the night, but with ~10 KHashes/s you get only so much of the whole picture.

or is the experiment effectively over after the next days?

It's p2p.. it's over when the last one quits. I'll play around a bit longer, but of course it never was/is intended as a serious coin.
Overall, I'd call this experiment already a great success!

Maybe set up a couple test sites to check it's feasibility for microtransactions?  Test it against Dust, and chain bloat?

That's a great idea. Eventually I'll post results from the data collected here along with some discussion -- but that might take a bit.

Please include more detailed build instructions for Linux.

Done. See first post.

Someone DDoS'd my poor little server with 4.5 Gbps

Ouch - but thanks for the pool. Are there log files?

It's not my project, just built it for win32.

And I added a link to that post in the first post. In general, I still oppose binary releases, but if they come from a trusted member they are okay I guess. Thanks (again), Balthazar!

[alex_fun]

Well the coin seems fun I like LTC, FC and this one. How can it work with such fast blocks 15 sec? I am learning now coins work And if I wanted to add peers manually is there some howto handy? I usually use linux and I am sleepy.

Seems pool might come back  soon

[Otaci]

Dammit. Yesterday night I calculated that block 17280 would be reached at 11:00 this morning (in about 2 hours) but all that activity has got it going earlier. I missed it :-(

Guys i have problem starting smallchanged

Code:

 ~/smallchange-master/src $ ./smallchange
Error: An error occured while setting up the RPC port 3000 for listening: bind: Address already in use

Any idea ?
I even compiled

Code:

./make -f makefile.unix USE_IPV6=0

Any ideas ?

[jdebunt]

letting my poor Gforce run some solo mining, we'll see how it goes

[blastbob]

The amount is rising slowly

[alex_fun]

tytanic its coinname - daemon aka smallchange -daemon

I think that we need to perform the following steps:

1) contest for the real name
2) contest for the best logo
3) send petition to btc-e

 

But block size and transaction volume limits should be adjusted before.

[alex_fun]

lol


But block size and transaction volume limits should be adjusted before. Can you expand on it? I spoke to some folks, if I understand correctly changes in protocol such as block size simply require small changes in client? say main.cpp and so on? It can be coin that dares to experiment while mining goes

[Balthazar]

It's not so simple because there are many other constants which calculated from maxblocksize. We need ~ 64k for maxblocksize at such blocks rate. But it will affect max transaction size, because it's calculated as maxblocksize/5. This should be changed also.
