[ANN] Credits(CRDS): CPU-only mining | Argon2d PoW - Masternodes

[luglopersalt]

Thank you so very MUCH devs... I see my name(second one as asked) in green on the list(no bragging intended - just gratitude)
When will my balance be updated? (just curious)

[fkoudelka]

Well. Just checked the airdrop list and I am red there  . Never mind. Maybe next time.

[shirout]

I have 4 threadripper machines I am going to mine alot of this coin

I have 4 threadripper machines I am going to mine alot of this coin

I have a ryzen 1600 and I mined 2 blocks solo in 12 hours. Not too terribly bad but those threadrippers would be awesome

They are more then nice I'am mining with almost 300k right now but since I am using these machines during the daytime I will scale it a bit down to 250k

[methylminer]

I applied for the airdrop..i was active in the community when it first started and have around 60 credits mined from the previous release.

Glad to see the project is back and alive. Anything I could do to help let me know.

Thanks! I will update the list tomorrow.

CRDS from the airdrop will be sent altogether, when the airdrop closes. Right now we have ~80 people accepted. The airdrop will close once we have 200.

[cryptbuff]

love this coin because it is cpu only, I now have a purpose for my dual e5 v4 machine 

[l3pox]

amazing project, will follow it closely and write an article for steemit.

applied for airdrop as I believe I can add value to the community as well.
is there a spreadsheet to follow it or it'll remain closed?
do you plan to disclose amount to be airdropped and will it be equal between all users?

having a feature to share masternodes like on myMUE could be interesting
monetary unit make available the option to split a masternode.

great to see more low supply projects.

[dspencer]

Interesting realization of your blockchain. It was a nice touch.

all of your questions can be easily answered if you just read a few post/page back

[crecre]

58 people are accepted. There are still many places left.

The list has been published on our discord channel.

Yeah well thats finally a reason to create an bt talk account. Hope pool mining arrives soon!

need translation of another language  ?

OK my fork'd miner isn't cutting the mustard.

So here's the one i'm going to recommend using for my pool.

https://github.com/Encel-US/cpuminer-multi

It's not mine, but it's working fine and getting slightly better hashrate than built-in miner.  
I get 8000 hps with built-in miner,  8800 with Encel's cpuminer fork.

THe airdrop lured me here i am mining since a few month is there anyone who could compile the actual trunk of this miner for windows 64 bit to see how it performs? THe lastest compiled  version does not include argon...
https://github.com/Encel-US/cpuminer-multi

i have Good News & Bad News...

The Bad News: the Encel-US/cpuminer-multi is Not optimized for Parallel processing...
= it works ok up tp 8-cores or Threads,
from that point performance starts to drop...
at 32-cores is useless, 50% load on each core.

but there is a trick to make it work, when i finish editing my video will show, maybe, if i win the Air Drop. LOL. Jajajajaja

Software is 50% serial, 50% parallel, or is not true 64-Bit.
or maybe has a problem with:

wmic cpu get loadpercentage

Windows tells the software its running at 100% but actually is running at 50%.
the more cores available, the more it Throttles the software.
like an inverted runaway.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_runaway
WinRAR 5.4 has a similar problem.

#3.

Been mining this coin at 200kh for about 2 weeks and made 2000 coins. It's working great so far. Hope to be part of the airdrop as well. Cool project.

mining at <100K is becoming difficult/luck.

#4.

Is it possible to mine with ARM processors?

maybe with the v8 64-Bit,
maybe with Linux could be modified to work.

CPU miner needs SSE2 or SSSE3 or AVX instructions, because the Argon2 algorithm is more complex than Bitcoin SHA256d algorithm,
complex enough, that probably cannot not be done in GPU, FPGA or ASIC, faster than CPU.

That was one of the problems of Bitcoin, the SHA256d algorithm, was very easy to do in FPGA & ASIC, faster & cheaper than CPU.
even it can be done with a pencil LOL. Jajajajaja ... or Excell.
https://youtu.be/y3dqhixzGVo
https://youtu.be/UZBZPOEVyJA
you can type/send manually the values done in paper, to the Bitcoin Debug Console, but is very slow. LOL. Jajajajaja

Thats one of the reasons why LiteCoin was invented, the 2nd e.coin in the world, called the Silver of Bitcoin, when there was No other coin. LOL. Jajajajaja
they decided to change the SHA256d algorithm to a Scrypt algorithm that requires more memory to be done, and is harder to implement with ASIC or FPGA, that have No memory,
but sooner or later was done in ASIC.
other e.Coins decided to do the same, and create New algorithms, some algorithms use 5GB or VRAM.

problem with using large RAM is:
A) the price of RAM, is increasing.
B) Overclocked & Over heated memory can have Errors.
C) most gaming PC´s do not have ECC Memory correction, only 2x expensive Server Hardware has.

but the Main Problem is Centralization:
if 1 company makes all the miners in the world, and only does miners,
miners only do 1 thing, mining, does not have another purpose/use.

if the price of the e.coin becomes too high or too popular... for the only company in the world making miners,  
becomes More profitable Not sell miners.
probably will start to happen when Bitcoin block reaches 640.001 & reward is halved.
Today is 505.430
http://www.btc.com

and Centralization occurs.
e.Coins were developed/created/invented with the idea to avoid centralization.
that was one of the reasons why Bitcoin & the Blockchain was invented, and most other mineable e.Coins.
To Avoid Centralization.

Anything that promotes Centralization is Anti-Trust.
if 1 company owns the 51% of all the miners & Nodes in the world, they can cheat.
they can take all your money away, if you don´t obey. LOL. Jajajajajaja

Just for Fun:

My Android Phone, LG MS345, can be used with ARM Miner,
with SHA256 algorithm,
7-Threads
does: 2600 KH/s Total. or 2.6MH/s Total.
392Kh/s Peak per Thread, or 0.4MH/s peak per thread.

with Scrypt
does:
3.5 KH/s Total.
0.451KH/s Peak per Thread.

1-Thread reserved for the system.

how much is hash rate ?

[crazyearner]

Looking forward to the future of this coin. Joined discord all areas and no doubt going to be mining and making masternode for this very shortly

[loremipsum]

amazing project, will follow it closely and write an article for steemit.

applied for airdrop as I believe I can add value to the community as well.
is there a spreadsheet to follow it or it'll remain closed?
do you plan to disclose amount to be airdropped and will it be equal between all users?

having a feature to share masternodes like on myMUE could be interesting
monetary unit make available the option to split a masternode.

great to see more low supply projects.

Airdrop is still open. Every user that is accepted will receive 250 CRDS. There is a list of accepted members published on Discord yesterday. I will publish an updated one tomorrow!

Nice will be in in for sure submitted my app for air drop as need a few more coins for node. Buying up what can now

why so obsessed with Discord...?

[JuanPabloCuervo]

i think i have more Bad News,

the Multi-Miner, API does not work...
connection is Accepted by the Miner but does not return to the HTTP Browser...

127.0.0.1 didn’t send any data.
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

getmininginfo
returns 0 hashes per second using the external JRPC Miner...

Good News is that found what kills the CRDS Wallet 1.1.1.0 in -server mode...
the getwork command, when Method is Not Detected, seems Wallet still has some residual code inside, but does not know how to react,
 Wallet becomes (Not Responding).

Don´t know if 0 hashes per second, is a Bug of the wallet? = only measures the internal Miner,? but Hashes are received.
or actually there is No communication between the external miner and the Wallet, and Hashes get lost in limbo.
getbestblockhash works and returns a Hash, and changes with a new block.
Miner detects Current Block
External miner seems to listen the Wallet & Continues... receives Block templates, receives mininginfo, detects when the Wallet is Offline (Non Responding) or Turned Off.
The external miner is listening the Wallet,
but Wallet does not detect the Hashes per second of the external Miner.

The Wallet listens JRCP Calls from the miner and responds,
the Miner listens the Walllet and respond,
but don´t know if the Wallet is listening again...
it seem the Walllet is listening because the miner seems to receive the HTTP/1.1 Continue command, and ask again for a JOB, and the Walllet Responds.
but haven´t been able to find a Block with the external miner.
so i´m confused.
 

HTTP/1.1 Continue

external Miner detects Hashes per second for each CPU Thread -t# but does not show the total of hashes, just individually per thread, unless is on -benchmark mode.
That Needs to be modified/improved, to give totals not in -benchmark mode.

The Maximum Threads the External CPU Miner can handle -t9999
yes, -t10k gives an error.

21:02:59
getmininginfo
21:02:59

}

CPUMiner with -P -D
JSON Protocol RESPONSE to getmininginfo  is the same.
JSON Protocol RESPONSE to getblocktemplate is the same.

but Wallet does not detect the Hashes per second of the External Miners.
