[BTB] The BitBar Information Thread

[A L I E N]

I've been mining on the p2pool pool for about 24hours, and as of yet to see my address on the payout tab of the site. Is this normal?

Make sure you use a public key as the username not your address!  It is discussed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=217894.msg2289738#msg2289738

::sigh:: thank you. I knew that, but spaced it.

[A L I E N]

I like BITBAR for the fact that the ASIC unfriendly script mining limits hardware to GPU's that can adapt to rapidly changing difficulty as well as hash script,  ADDED to the fact that 520 confirmations prevents people speculatively mining it for a short term sale - because the maturation is long enough to make it risky in terms of the market risk.

You will also not have to worry about getting high-difficulty stuck and being unable to complete a transaction or get to a lower difficulty like CHNcoin, Craftcoin, Hypercoin and others.  Also the 10 min block times will prevent forking when there is too much network hash on one pool such as what recently occurred with Bottlecaps.

Hello all,

I'm fairly new to BitBar and so I've been reading mostly information from the original website (bitbar.biz I think it was).

I guess from a miner's perspective this is just another scrypt based coin, but I'm not sure if you can just use stuff like pooler's cpu miner to mine it? Also the pools that are mentioned on the web site seem to be not responding. Is this coin dead?

One thing that struck me was how the dev wanted this coin to have a value that was considerably higher than bitcoin itself. Long term estimation around 10 btc, short term 1,5 btc or thereabouts. So why is it trading at 0,0000whatever, like most of the other altcoins?

Not looking to criticize the coin or the dev, just seeking some background information really.

Brand new so let me know if you find any bugs. (I know that the network hashrate does not display correctly, I am working on it . )

Try using this node... the one from CCE

[A L I E N]

Do NOT mine here: btb.ltcoin.net
It is on its own fork and none of your BTB will be able to be traded on the exchanges.

The new node for the CCE is this:

Code:

connect=84.200.4.218

Make sure to change 'connect' back to 'addnode' once you are synced
Also add these nodes:

Code:

addnode=23.92.25.46
addnode=37.229.117.57
addnode=84.200.4.218
addnode=88.198.184.231

All problems: checkpoint to old and fork, are due to dynamic checkpointing off - I stopped  vps for BTB zero-client and redirected dns-lookup to some pool.

I synced my home client to longest chain and i suggest doing the same :
connect=btb.ltcoin.net, or at least addnode=btb.ltcoin.net

DNS first node search has been redirected to some pool ,soon dns will be updated to btb.ltcoin.net as it proves to be the fastest one.

I run dyn-checkpointing on my private PC now, until I get my hands on some VPS.

[12gaFacelift]

if btb.ltcoin.net is on the right chain then where are my coin mined before the "crash" fork?

[CaptainAK]

When I just looked, it seems that http://btb.ltcoin.net is at block #6443. The block explorer at http://btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com/ is at block #26166. Which is the correct one? Because I am pretty sure more than 6443 blocks have been mined since May 01, 2013. It also looks like http://btb.ltcoin.net has mined ALL of the blocks on their chain.

UPDATE:  Looking closer at the blockchain, it appears that the blocks http://btb.ltcoin.net is solving now, were actually solved back in May.

Look at the info for block 6443 at this Explorer link.  http://btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com/address/BDkaH1mPfYsGSgYLuxzPsHiCgiMBeqJeD2

[sigesang]

btb.ltcoin is on its own chain and been so for a week or whatnot
at stat page every block got validity just 1 more than the last.. meaning all coins on this chain is from btb.ltcoin.. nothing else PoW nor PoS

WRONG!!!!!
btb.ltcoin.net is NOT on the correct chain!  All the exchanges and other pools are on the same as the block explorer.

The following are all on the same as the block explorer and NOT diggers chain:
Here: http://btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com/chain/BitBar

Here: http://www.coinchoose.com/
Here: http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency
Here: https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/23
Here: https://bter.com/trade/btb_btc

Here are some nodes for the correct chain:

Code:

addnode=23.92.25.46
addnode=37.229.117.57
addnode=84.200.4.218
