Nice idea, good concept, sure the future is great!)))

People who can use docker containers : here is the automated build for the daemon (node). I will help the network too. The trimmed image based on ubuntu 16.04 takes only 136MB. Running a node at this time need at least 2.2Go free on hard drive to store the blockchain but it will grow. For example, monero blockchain use today 33Go

Seems i ask this with Windozxpert
Did you have any tutorials for CentOS OS? or this will be same cuz both linux based?
Did you know how many bandwidth used by node ? Should i connect node to other nodes or to "IRD network". How this works ?

docker should be available on centOS (https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/centos), in that case, just run with your right ports.

Code:

docker run -e "TIMEZONE"="Europe/Paris" -p my_local_p2p_port:12007 --p my_local_rpc_port:13007 -e "P2P_BIND_IP"="1.2.3.4 -e "P2P_BIND_PORT"="my_local_p2p_port" -e "P2P_EXTERNAL_PORT"="12007" -e "RPC_BIND_IP"="5.6.7.8 -e "RPC_BIND_PORT"="my_local_rpc_port" -e "LOG_LEVEL"="4" -e "LOG_FILE"="/data/iridium.log" steevebrush/iridiumd-container

look there, it's written : https://hub.docker.com/r/steevebrush/iridiumd-container

about bandwidth : after the download of the blockchain (2,5Go), bandwidth is very low ! a block is discover every 5 minutes at this time. the node connect automatically to others node. the version compiled is the latest with new seeds.

How this works ? simple : the daemon stock the blockchain, share and confirm (or infirme) the validity of a block.
so more nodes = faster validation and safer transactions.

may be a reward can be imagined for people running nodes, it's a community, so why not asking ?

question 1: I have a server and i'm mining with 14 of 16 threads... my question is.. how many threads (cores, don't know how to call it) i have to free, to run a node.. I'm one who ask in the slack/discord to help ird
question 2: that image/docker or whatever, is autoplay? do i have to be a programmer to run the node? (i'm such an ignorant of computing stuff)

[CapacabanaBitch]

Does the team have experience in this sphere?

I think i found the problem, it seems that my wallet is not syncing

i got the latest version 2.0.1 ( https://github.com/iridiumdev/iridium-gui/releases/tag/v2.0.1) although after i open the wallet in help/about wallet it says version 2.0.0

in log file i got:

2017-Nov-07 19:25:22.547158 ERROR [node_server] Failed to connect to any of seed peers, continuing without seeds
2017-Nov-07 19:25:44.549802 ERROR [node_server] Failed to connect to any of seed peers, continuing without seeds

2017-Nov-07 19:26:50.557772 ERROR [node_server] Failed to connect to any of seed peers, continuing without seeds

i m using windows 10 x64

any ideea ?

You can try run wallet with this option:

Code:

--add-peer 83.197.6.152:7080 --add-peer 198.27.67.63:12007 --add-peer 2.92.209.51:12007 --add-peer 104.234.216.118:12007

Thank you !
It seems to work, now syncing.
What is the problem, shouldn't these IPs be embedded in the wallet ? i'm the only one with this problem ?

It should... but some nodes are missing, that's why we try to setup some. It will help the network.
we have to find servers on with we can count on !
if someone has some spare space on a server, I can help to setup the node too.

Thanks to Romka_Kharkov for providing us a node.
I release today a new MacOS version of the wallet with this new seed : https://github.com/steevebrush/iridium-gui/releases/tag/v2.0.2
If someone can compile a win version...

I won't mention yet another instamining/difficulty attack which occured 12 hours ago, because I hope the devs got the message and are working on an upgrade.

Here is however something which is much easier to fix: The block numbers shown in the pools and the block numbers shown in the official explorer do not match.
They diverge by 1, so a typical bug of one service using 0-based, the other 1-based indexing, or even both mixed sometimes.

Example:
The last block on the network at the moment as I write this was found by the mine77 pool and is shown there as 31726 with a timestamp of 11:47:16 GMT.
When you enter 31726 into the official explorer at mine77 it will show you "Iridium Block 31,726" with a timestamp of 11:45:52.
This is however not block 31726 but in fact block 31725. Now you would think I will just enter 31727 into the explorer to trick it and show me block 31726.
Yes, this will work usually. However if 31726 is still the last block found on the network, the explorer will not return any result for 31727, as it thinks 31726 is the last block and 31727 does not exist yet.
So the explorer applies 1-based indexing on the block numbers but 0-based indexing when it decides which block is the last one.

It's a simple bug but it creates a lot of confusion.

EDIT: After seeing that the explorer shows block 0 and that one looks like the genesis block, it looks rather like the explorer is using the correct indexing, but the pools are wrong. I guess they start to count at the actual block 1 and index it as block 0. That would explain the discrepancy.

[Windozxpert]

The pools are certainly not earning more fees due to such incidents. Because the long period of slow blocks and less fees (per hour) now will make up for the short period of more fees (per hour) during the attack. I am therefore puzzled why they would actively invite nicehash attacks by providing a dedicated port just for this centralized service.

so you mean, pools should close nicehash port until the problem is solved?

This would be ideal, as Nicehash is no good for any crypto. It's nothing but a botnet. As for the permanent fix, we are working on the difficulty changes on the main network. We are also updating the node list.
@nanona - If you would like to help with development, we'd be happy to have you. Join us on Discord.

hello , i mined few iridiums and they were sent by the pool as shown in my tx list , however wallet is not showing them , 0 bal in total , is there a problem with the wallet ?

solved by nodes just after posting my message  ty anyways !

EDIT: what do you think guys of this coin , will it succeed  ? it isn't really hard to create a coin and based on cryptonote even easier ...

[ice2090]

guys anything new about exchange on new sites?
southxchange?
coinsmarkets?
stocks.exchange?

[thenortherndoge]

I wish one of the pools would offer custom diff. On miner77 my diff shoots to nicehash diff even tho i only have a single gpu, a gtx 1060

[wanruuner]

Any news about the mining problems?

[kooxe2]

hello everybody. i was hoping if someone can sell me 1000 iridium for $1, if anyone is interested please sent me a pm

[BobTrade]

let's support Iridium guys, we need many more people know about this coin. I think the 1st step is to improve the decentralization.

[cryptofriendz]

discovered this today, any bounty programs still?

[fonship]

what community think about whitepaper, I did not like it, there is nothing new, all info stands true for any cryptonote coin

[dunca.marin]

and when will be windows walllet ready..?
