BiblePay - New Coin Launch - Official Thread

[xxkaiwaxx]

Im no "techy" ...but i got a block on my i5 @ 80k hashes, yesterday i think it was ...or the day before, tops ^^""

[viljy]

What news about the pool? When to expect? In solo I help i3 find blocks only with the help of prayer.

What you think about this hashps

I have about 1060k and haven't found a single block in the last 20 hours. jc12345 here also said a similar thing with a 600k hash.

Copy+paste here your hashps, and what is your cpu?

6 x E5-2673 v3 + i7 2600k + some i5.

Around 140k per one E5, 150k for i7 and 70k for i5.

What's your machine? It's very high if it is just one processor, nice.

Me too, total 270k mining with 4 computers in 24hours, but did not mine a single block yet. How is the calculation of probability getting a block?

[happy_merchant]

@bible_pay: Could you maybe explain the fact that only ~70% of blocks are found each day?

26928 minutes / 2675 blocks = 10.0665 minutes/block

I haven't read through the source related to block time, but I believe that BBP is forked from Dash which is forked from Litecoin which is forked from Bitcoin. I don't know about Dash and Litecoin, but Bitcoin has a 10 minute block time, which is very close to what we're seeing. I wonder if the 7 minute block time rule is being ignored and it's just defaulting to this.

[civilufo]

My i5 gives aprox 230k, my friends ryzen 1700 give 500-600k.
I run 10-11 threads and he run 30-35.

Wow, what is your i5 model? My i7 7770 get only 170k, but your i5 hashrate more than mine 

I heard that ryzen 1700 is cool, the hashrate is awesome.

I do have a Ryzen 1700 too but I'm only getting 200k from it . Do you know if your friend is using the windows wallet?

[PewPewGoesTheDuck]

I've come across wallets with built in pool mining that had a gui interface to start/stop and even included a default pool. Would it be possible once the pool mining is implemented to bring over that function?

Litecoin and Dash have 2.5 minute block times, but still your numbers seem to be exactly right.

Looks like 10 minutes is the mean block time in Biblepay, that is, 144 blocks per day, which is exactly around what I've seen in the previous days.

I5 6600k clocked to 4,4 GHz. Paired with 32 GB 3200 MHz ram. Running Windows wallet and 11 threads.

My friends ryzen is overclocked as well, higher performance than stock 1800x but dont remember excact clock. Also with 32 GB 3200 MHz ram.

[The Grinder]

I have my old laptop (i5-460M) mining with around 50khash/s and just got my first block.
Took me about 24h. Seems I got lucky.

Yeah very lucky! My friend with 500k+ has mined for 2 days and got one block. Almost like hash dosent matter, but ppl with multiple computer also gets rare hit it seem. Pool will be awesome

[bible_pay]

[...] every 10th block is automatically assigned to the orphan wallet.

How does this work exactly? Miners do not get the reward even though they found the block? If that's the case, I share your opinion that it would be better to take 10% from every block, because of the reasons you explained earlier.

@bible_pay: Could you maybe explain the fact that only ~70% of blocks are found each day?

90% of the block rewards go to the miners.  We drop the difficulty to mine the tithe blocks by 80% (hardcoded in the wallet, in the dark-gravity-wave diff function), so they just fly by and no one really has to do much work.

[bible_pay]

I've come across wallets with built in pool mining that had a gui interface to start/stop and even included a default pool. Would it be possible once the pool mining is implemented to bring over that function?

Yeah, actually, we could put an auto-config menu option in the wallet to make it easier to set up the default pool.

Then we can put in a start/stop menu item also to make it easier to solo or pool mine without doing much work.

Thats a good idea, anything that adds value to the wallet could be good for our long term staying power.

[bible_pay]

There are over 500 connections on my external node; that leads me to believe by 500 distinct users, thats where they are going.
Happy_merchant should be able to help answer, that would mean that the block explorer will show distinct keys for almost every block.

Well, about all I can say is that roughly half of all BBP in existence is being held in receiving addresses that hold 40k or less BBP. But, I'm sure a lot of the major holders haven't consolidated all their BBP under one address, so it's hard to say how many users that represents. The Biblepay node for the block explorer has capped out at 500 connections a couple times, although there's only 153 right now probably since the daemon crashed a few hours ago and had to be restarted.

Personally, I'm not seeing any major issues with the rewards on my miners. I started mining the day after Biblepay launched and I've gotten 42 blocks. So, a very rough estimate would be:

42 / (2671 - 267) = 0.0175 = 1.75%

The "- 267" is because every 10th block is automatically assigned to the orphan wallet. Since I actually missed out on a days worth of mining at the start, the percentage should actually be a little higher. I'm currently contributing a little bit over 2% of the network hashrate and that's pretty consistent with what I've been contributing at other points when I checked. Considering that I haven't had 100% uptime on my miners, mining 1.75% of the blocks seems pretty reasonable, and the sample size is large enough that it should be meaningful even if it's an estimate.

If there is a problem somewhere, it'll be obvious when the pool goes live. The pool will likely make up a huge percentage of the network hash and we'll be able to track every block it mines. That'll provide a very accurate source of statistical data.

Thanks for the good analysis!

Thanks for your information. I didn't know that I am able to setgenerate more than CPU thread numbers. Just try out 12 at my i7 7770, get 240kh/s, but can't set more because 7770 had bad temperature design. Now at max 87c, although Intel said this CPU can take up to 100c, but I don't want to risk my working machine.

BTW, still no single block found after 1+ day. Poor luck, maybe I should pray hard during mining

Hehe water cooling + mining = true love :p my CPU is 55c, and goes to 65c max with 100%load through the night if the room gets hot (also got 3 1080ti in the computer). Got another block tonight.

HI Dev any news about pool..when live?? it is not possible more solo mining

[togoshigekata]

Help the devs test the pool:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2070177

There have been recent code commits for the pool, so theyre definitely working on it:  https://github.com/biblepay/biblepay/commits/master

[marte1982]

Edit the biblepay.conf file, and place the following lines in the config:

poolport=80
pool=http://pool.biblepay.org
workerid=the_worker_id
gen=1
genproclimit=5

Is correct??

[HEvangelista]

Can someone help me find a way to mine this coin or any coin for that matter. Links that would help me start mining using my laptop. I would appreciate the help if ever. Everytime I read people discuss about hashrates and sources and pools, I feel like I am in a different planet. Thanks.
