LOL at the newbie coder who thinks he can reward himself more coins by just changing his one client.  Glad they are teaching coding in preschool

IT IS PEER TO PEER YOU MORON.  Unless he successfully distributes that change to > 51% of the clients, the network will just reject your coins

[sixteendigits]

Could come try out http://lky.scryptmining.com perhaps.  Same front-end, but we do PPS payouts.  As soon as the block is confirmed, all shares you had for that block are paid out.

3Mhs coming your way!

I'm gonna give lky.allpoolz.com the benefit of the doubt and assume they will fix any problems with payouts (if there is one), but may as well give you a shot til I know for sure.

Where do you edit that code? I'll compile it on linux and test it right away, have 10Mh to throw at it so should be tested within an hour.

file main.cpp, change "int rand = generateMTRandom(seed, 100000);" to "int rand = 50001;".
It will quite obviously not work, for the reasons I explained, but you're welcome to try

ps: BTC tips appreciated, see signature, thanks.

As I said before I did this at launch.  It did not work.  I found two blocks and they were both rejected by the network.

In the case of the p2pool:

cgminer --scrypt -o next.afraid.org:8116 -u yourLKYaddress -p . --queue 0 -s 1

statistics available here: http://next.afraid.org:8116. This pool use a PPLNS payout scheme, and is stratum enabled.


The PPLNS windows is set to 1 hour, so you will get the expected payout after only a few blocks found. Anyway, the default configuration is around 24H. You have to mine days and night to reach the expected value, not fair at all...

This server is always as effective, no orphan, and the payout is there. If you are looking for a reliable pool, it is there.

Great - this server is flawless, it works fine, and the block coins higher than 88 are well distributed. Perfection.

[gnomicide]

That being said, I didn't check if the function gets really called successfully when checking a block, so it might have botched badly. But I strongly doubt that.
I think this coin is slightly above "crap", mind, only it's not the utter and total crap it would have been if this function didn't work as expected.

But looking at how the GetBlockValue function has been written, apparently the author isn't a great developer.
It contains two noob mistakes: (1) duplicated code, and (2) mixes tab and space indentation.
This fact alone is enough to be VERY wary of any code he has written. As if the fact of him being anonymous wasn't enough.

Ah... thought it was the forum messing up the pasted formatting lol. Looks like he just lazily hacked together something that seemed to work. As long as the "random" function is deterministic so that every other client can verify the result/reward, it should be unexploitable.

I don't understand how that pool claims to do PPS payout. Doesn't PPS mean a set amount of LKY per share? I can't see the LKY/share rate anywhere on the pool site.

Yay I found a 588 block

You guys should vote for LKY in this poll: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=215284.0

Mining solo? What hash you getting?

Nice work

Does anyone know of a guide on how to mine scrypt with multiple computers? I've tried searching but everywhere I looked said I needed to link my wallet up with it. I don't want to put a wallet on my mining rigs...

[BitJohn]

point your rigs at the computer that has the wallet. So lets say your machine is 192.168.1.1 and it has the wallet you will point your other machines at it like it is a pool. You need to have the wallet conf file configured of course. Do you know how to do that?

[Boxman90]

If you want to solo mine, put a wallet on a server/pc next to your rigs. Then let your rigs all mine to that same wallet.

You'll need these lines in your config file:

rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.1.*

Ofcourse 192.168.1.* depends on your local network. If your router distributes 10.0.0.x IP's, it'd be:

rpcallowip=10.0.0.*

Then point your miners to your server.

[BitJohn]

cgminer --scrypt -o 192.168.1.1:9332  -u [USERNAME] -p [password]


The port will be the one defined in your wallet.


The conf file which is found in C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\luckycoin

Create a text file called luckycoin.conf for instance.

rpcuser=[USERNAME]
rpcpassword=[PASSWORD]
rpcallowip=192.168.*.*
rpcport=9918
addnode=24.242.16.87
addnode=113.162.172.159
addnode=77.110.45.131

[Decagrog]

Anyone know how to configure the parameters in network.py file for run a luckycoin p2pool?

[BChydro]

Thanks guys I'll give that a shot. Going to find the mega block, I can smell it...

this makes me sad.
