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

Hi,
I'm trying to mine on windows using the daemon, followed the instructions here in the forum and everything seem to work just fine.
I left it mining something like ten hours and it shows that it finds blocks every now and then (mining with dual xeon) but when I check the wallet balance it say that it's empty.
Tried also on a second machine and same result. Is there something wrong with windows mining?

Wouldn't it have been clever if sls hardcoded his own wallet into his Windows binaries?

edit: dev confirmed windows simple_wallet is broken

[sls]

Found block but wallet show zero balance 

simplewallet does not work correctly, use linux QT wallet, or wait when dev fix code

[iridiumdev]

Did you specify the right wallet address when you started mining?
The simple-wallet for Windows doesn't work properly, and can only generate an address. Use the Linux version of the wallet to see your balance and be able to send and make transactions. I'm working on a fix now, shouldn't be too much longer.

FYI the "1.0.0" src release on GitHub didn't work for me, I had to pull from the latest master. Please also look into that CMake library link order fix. Please start a slack/telegram group and at very least throw up a basic website landing page so you can establish an internet footprint beyond the github repo and this thread.

Good idea )
But if you tape in wallet  bc_height , you see 0 block - wallet not sync at daemon( how fix it I dont know  )
Only linux QT version works

Ok the wallet doesn't sink with the daemon so it doesn't show any income but what about the daemon, if I mine with it using my wallet address as user, when the windows wallet will be ok will I see some entry or even mining with the daemon is useless?

What is the current hashrate?

[IRD-PoolOperator]

I've started a mining pool and I'm currently testing with my own miners. I want to verify block unlocks and reward payouts before I start actively posting a link to my site.

=the pool in action=
https://vgy.me/LJvqot.png
https://vgy.me/3GgDMM.png

I'm not sure why the block rewards are being displayed incorrectly on the website.

help me get a domain name for it: ir3yCXAoBndKKjawRYUj49aVqyrKAWbSxf4wvLy5xgGkFPrcFiCuK1W4LDN9a8oZ7m9RGGMhyBkAs6Q 65Prm9Cp81rzQeQL4M

What is the current hashrate?

just over 10kH/s according to my pool software

World's First Public Iridium (IRD) Mining Pool: http://[Suspicious link removed]/ // Edit: irdpool _dot_ tk (mods if my mining pool site is a problem re-edit my post I guess, I assume this is because of the free .tk domain name)

Regular cryptonote miners will work just like they do with Monero. Just point it at the different address. This includes GPU miners like ccminer and node-less CPU miners like xmrig and xmr-stak-cpu.

I've successfully confirmed my mining pool is paying out ( http://[Suspicious link removed]/#payments ), although I had to set the mixin to 0 because I was getting the following error:

Code:

2017-09-06 07:31:42 [payments] Error with transfer RPC request to wallet daemon {"code":-4,"message":"Transaction size is too big"}
2017-09-06 07:31:42 [payments] Payments failed to send to {"amount":27600000000,"address":"ir3yCXAoBndKKjawRYUj49aVqyrKAWbSxf4wvLy5xgGkFPrcFiCuK1W4LDN9a8oZ7m9RGGMhyBkAs6Q65Prm9Cp81rzQeQL4M"}

On another note when I try to send from my desktop I get this type of error in simplewallet (this is the official linux binary, the mining pool runs from the master github branch)

Code:

[wallet ir3yCX]: transfer 3 ir3FDQTKd1Z7Kg1GPcJZreUrX1CBcyiPtPjsJeSXSj1YeHbsaz3twFg1aF4x1sGBJbKWt2yo7UVn9aq63fK1p63m2DmZiUaGP 3
Error: Internal node error

the node says "TX Accepted but not relayed" (related? https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/58brfx/tx_accepted_but_not_relayed_what_happens_to_these/ )

I'm not sure if the node was just waiting to relay the transactions or not, but I ended up deleting my node's blockchain to clear them (no command to do so in the node?) and used simplewallet's reset command. It was quick because of how small the chain currently is but that'd be a pain on a larger blockchain.

Developer, please pay out the bounty to: ir3yCXAoBndKKjawRYUj49aVqyrKAWbSxf4wvLy5xgGkFPrcFiCuK1W4LDN9a8oZ7m9RGGMhyBkAs6Q 65Prm9Cp81rzQeQL4M

Update: First payment sent out to people who weren't me! Success! I lowered the minimum payment to 10 IRD, I might raise this again later. I imagine these blocks are pretty empty at the moment so I don't see the harm.

Thanks so much man,
I'll be paying you 1000 IRD for your hard work. Just booting up my Linux machine now.

[IRD-PoolOperator]

I had to split up transactions to single addresses, I was getting {"code":-4,"message":"Transaction size is too big"} when my server tried to pay out multiple addresses.

There's currently one address that is still failing, I'm investigating. If this is your address, you might want to stop for now. I found this so far: https://github.com/zone117x/node-cryptonote-pool/issues/169

UPDATE The payment has since go through on an automatic retry, I'm still investigating though.

Code:

2017-09-06 09:24:13 Payments failed to send to {"amount":4500000000,"address":"ir2s784jijCXDnuPQxcqTWQ8J6LnXgMeBR8ttZ8USqx1UEidx9GxsnZ3NAfnEKDQaEMfjb9Xz72PZBDwRnkSJ6c42zsMYujRo"}
2017-09-06 09:24:42 Error with transfer RPC request to wallet daemon {"code":-4,"message":"Wrong amount"}

UPDATE 2 I keep seeing this error, but it always seems to get sent successfully on the next try. I checked the pool wallet and it's balance is fine. I'm trying to tweak some settings, sorry for blips on the pool.

[iridiumdev]

This error is due to Cryptonight median block size feature, which slowly grows as the amount of transactions grows. Since there have been hardly any since the coins blockchain went up, the average block size was tiny, but now that larger amounts of coins are trying to be sent, the amount is slowly increasing. Within time these errors will cease as the blockchain grows.

[IRD-PoolOperator]

I may have double paid the pools miners when resetting the pool (perhaps it didn't get written to the database?). There's one miner with a large payout that's having issues. The wallet balance is rising and that miner should get paid out. There is a lot of locked balance on top of that but that's technically future payout for other miners.

Assuming this is true (I haven't confirmed this, I just want to keep everyone in the loop) I will eat this double miner payment as a loss but I've increased the fee to help me be able to payout that one miner sooner. (I guess this is what they call socialized losses)

This has nullified any profit I've made off the pool fees.

Edit: we're now net neutral on wallet balance, that one miner is still not getting paid out due to the transaction size issue described by the developer.

I sent another 500IRD your way to help out with the losses. I also added your pool to the main post.

[IRD-PoolOperator]

There's still one miner who hasn't been paid out due to his ever increasing payout and the limit on the network right now. If you're this miner you should change your wallet address so you can get smaller payouts while you wait for the network to catch up to your transaction size. I have your IRD on reserve, I could offer to manually pay you out and try to dig into the pools database but I'd honestly rather avoid mucking about there. Though, if IRD were suddenly to be listed I definitely would get your coins out to you ASAP even if it came to bringing down the pool for a bit.

Thanks for that my man.
It seems people feel more strongly about keeping the servers up and not resetting, so I've restarted the seed nodes.
I will send you a 500IRD bounty for your work, it means a lot.

I'm currently contacting a few people about setting up pools for Iridium, so we should have a working pool in the next few days.

You sent me 500 ird? my balance 0

I've lowered the fee since everything seems to be running smoothly now. I was gonna do this earlier but my entire block lost power (not mining related)

That said I am personally concerned about how my mining pool has absorbed basically all of the hashrate. Nearly everyone who was solo mining is no longer doing so. Before I begun this I thought only GPU miners would be interested in using the pool. I'm in a position to 51% the network, I am the network. This is a call for another pool to be opened by another operator to compete with me. If this doesn't happen I may be forced to raise the pool fee to economically force people off of it. We're still very early, so I've lowered the fee to make this a fairer start for everyone while my future competition gets to work.

It's because GPU miners have such a higher hashrate that even 3 or 4 gpu miners outhashes the rest of the CPU miners.
I'm still holding a bounty for 1000IRD to every person that sets up a pool, to encourage more pools to be built.

[trinitrotoluene]

I would be willing to stand up an Iridium pool, but I don't see the info I need to create a coin file to start the pool.

Maybe IRD-PoolOperator would be willing to provide me his coin.json?
