[ANN] Iridium (IRD) - People are Power - Community build crypto

[KAMINSKINIK]

Included CryptoNight ASICs and Miners on the CPU and GPU ran away !!!

[l3pox]

any plans on listing in bigger exchanges as well?

is there any way to check current circulating supply?

[stevebrush]

Where can I see how many coins are mined?

plain text : http://explorer.ird.cash/issued
json : https://explorer.ird.cash/get_generated_coins

or as answered in a block detail

[stevebrush]

any news about fork?

yes v7 or heavy ?

I will come soon, finally, this will be Cryptonight lite variant 1.
I'm on the way to provide a testnet pool for testing miners softwares with the new algo

For testing your miner software compatibility with the next algorithm implementation :

Here is a test pool (running on latest core in testnet mode) :

I added some compatible miners on the getting started page, feel free to contact me for adding more

Good afternoon.
For the test, took the old Xeon E5450 and the latest version of Xmrig v2.5.3 (64 bit). When mining, it generates the "low difficulty share" error.

So this is not the right algo, maybe you choose cryptonight lite witch is the not asic proof algorithm...
cryptonight lite variant 1 is also called cryptonight_v7 or CryptoNight-Lite AEON in xmrig,  CryptoNight IPBC.
but I don't know if xmrig auto switch at block version 7 because for us, this is block version 4.
Also looks like this fork is ahead : https://github.com/Bendr0id/xmrigCC and looks like this one auto detect the variant.

But I do not have the time to test all miners, that's why I provide the test pool. Maybe community can help there.

[KAMINSKINIK]

I tried xmrigCC the same result - "low difficulty share".

What miner do you use and if you can configure it?

What miner do you use and if you can configure it?

from discord : ingnz (irdpool.eu owner) was able to mine with xmrig : here is the command line he used :

xmrig -u ir2EECF4DBG3qtxW9wj37PRahaU6pvBk9WxtUhuDJpQfGP3j9U38c8uYRqCH5wubU6auGr7zUB39PYB qx2HTcFSK1CgTtbhjA -p x -a cryptonight-lite --variant 1 -o stratum+tcp://test.irdpool.fr:1111

magic comes from --variant 1

And I am able to mine with xmr-stack latest version by taking the "cryptonight_lite_v7" algo.

[stevebrush]

tests are over now. I will release the next core tomorrow and if I have the time, also the wallet gui. I plan to shedule the next HF in  5 days, to give time to pools owners and exchanges to switch. I will provide also a changelog for the next release.

For miners : You can try the compatibility with your software on this test pool : https://test.irdpool.fr
You can also report witch miner works (or not) and an exemple of config/command line.

Guys what pool are you all using?
For most of the CN coins Cryptoknight is the best pool around, but I'm getting like 95% of pool hashrate there can somebody join the pool pls We can mine more there together

[phamngoctruc.hp97]

As long as the increase is due to new and different miners and not just the result of a couple people adding more rigs, you are correct it is good. What is bad is just a handful of people thinking it is better to get all the coins to themselves rather than distributing them to a larger audience. The only thing that will make the coin successful in the long run is a wide distribution.

Hi guys!

We have just added support for Iridium to our Crypto Mining Profitability Calculator: https://crypt0.zone/calculator/!

Feel free to send us some feedback.
We are open for all suggestions

Thank you ! but we are switching on cryptonite lite variant 1 on Monday :-)

#########################################################

Hard Fork to version 4 is scheduled at block 115200 on Monday April 30 at around 8h UTC

What is the purpose :

• switch to cryptonite lite variant 1 also called v7 (asic proof)
• Mixin is now mandatory : min 2 max 10 (improve privacy)
• calculate difficulty on the right window size (should be more accurate)
• Various typo and fixes

#########################################################

• Pool owners : The core is now released. Instructions and help is provided on the discord #pool-operators-private channel
  
  
• Miners : support to cryptonite lite variant 1 (or V7) is available on the discord #mining channel.
  
  there are configuration and command line examples.
  currently, successfully tested miners are :
  
  
  • xmr-stack latest version
  • xmrig latest version
  • xmrig-nvidia
  • xmrig-amd
  
  You can test miner configuration here : https://test.irdpool.fr
  
  
• everybody : wallet GUI is coming soon.

while we are facing attacks, miners, please don't leave until the HF, on the contrary : put the maximum hashpower so foreign hashrate will gain less and when HF comes, the first block will be easier to mine.

while we are facing attacks, miners, please don't leave until the HF, on the contrary : put the maximum hashpower so foreign hashrate will gain less and when HF comes, the first block will be easier to mine.

I'd say the first block after the HF will be the hardest to mine  
Suddenly only CPU/GPU miners hashing but relatively high difficulty from the few ASICs which mine IRD now and to the HF.
Will take a few very slow blocks until difficulty drops to where it should be.

Imagine we still had the original very slow DAA or even the one that BTC has. The chain would remain stuck forever with those, if a few ASICs would drive the difficulty sky high before HF.

No, I can't imagine :-) Some coin had to rent hashpower to mine very high diff blocks...

Zawy open a discord channel where all devs are invited and I assume we have one of the best. I consider donating him when our coin is high enough, we own him. Another one is on the kitchen with a faster reaction in both way but it's too early.
Here are the charts for 5 coins including IRD : https://github.com/zawy12/difficulty-algorithms/issues/23. You can see "before" and "after"

edit : damned ! I'm Iridiumdev I just updated the main thread with latest exchanges, listings, watch an mobile apps. I will return to my real name !

[stevebrush]

Feel better now  
on the graph you can see that our implementation perform very well : look at "blocks stolen"
