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

[greentekel]

Have anyone been able to get CPU mining going in Windows?
Which miner and config did you use?

Claymore which is linked at pools dont work with Iridium.
Also tried a couple others.

yes, they work in windows, minerd should work but the best is xmr-stak-cpu but be careful not to
download something with a trojan in it and read the instructions when configuring.

Could you share your config? I found it hard to config this miner.

the only thing I modified in the config file was the cpu threads (I have a 8 core/16 thread ryzen so for a quad core you only use 0,2,4,6)

"cpu_threads_conf" :
[
 { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 0 },
 { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 2 },
 { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 4 },
 { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 6 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 8 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 10 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 12 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 14 },
 
],

and the pool address and my wallet address with the ports (they are lower in the file).

Password remains x, so everything else remains the same.


For increased hashes you will have to follow the instructions in the file regarding  LARGE PAGE SUPPORT . Be careful when adding the users in the dialog box - you have to pick them from the list
(there is a button there. I placed there "administrators" and "everybody" because it didn't work with just my normal user). After that when you start xmr-stack-cpu.exe run it "as administrator"
and it will take advantage of the large pages.

Thank you. For some reason i did not have xmr-stack-cpu.exe but as a cbp. Tried changing that to a .exe but that kinda failed

here is it

I just wrote a French post about IRIDIUM here : http://lemondecrypto.com/iridium-ird-opportunite-a-miner/

Thanks! Glad to see that people are spreading the word!

Currently, solo mining using 6 threads. Is it worth it? In the daemon, what are the units of measurement of the hashrate that the daemon displays after the "show_hr" command? Finally, is the number displayed the hashrate of one thread or the sum of all the threads?

impossible to solve block solo mine now. join pool.

Agreed, join a pool. The units of measurement are hashes per second (h/sec), kilohashes per second (kh/sec), megahashes per second (Mh/sec, Gigahashes per second(Gh/s), Terahashes per second (Th/s), Petahashes per second (Ph/sec) etc..etc..

With this algo, you'll be doing well if you can get a couple kh/s. Don't expect anything higher.

welcome join our pool,happy mining!

Yeah not really, nethashrate calculation is tad wacky, it's probably not calculated right.

[fonship]

There are lot of miners coming and difficulty has increased so much, which is good and bad both :-)

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.

I agree, but may be fee pulled up hash from nicehash for quick coins, adoption and distribution should increase more which will be benefit all.

Dev,

Just want to applaud your effort in working on this project. People can be negative but the result of effort can be seen.

[mine77]

One could say that it is wacky by design. The network hash rate displayed by the pools is not a point of time measurement of actual hash rate -- it is inferred from the difficulty of the most recent block. CryptoNote computes the difficulty target based on the solve times of the most recent 493 blocks from the last 24 hours.

When a significant amount of hash rate is getting added or removed, it is intentional that the block difficulty doesn't snap up to reflect it immediately... meaning it also won't show up immediately on the pools' Network Hash Rate estimate.

Hi ,

Can someone explain how the block rewards are calculated?

THanks

It's just greed. Almost every single coin (and probably every asset on earth) has to suffer from greedy people. "Wide distribution" is a natural impossibility I guess. High concentration of ownership in just a few hands sounds more like human being...

[pinball_wizard]

It's bad to accumulate that hashrate is going up...but also a signal that coin is getting attention....hope for a bright iridium future!

Indeed. I have always been amazed at what people would do for money. It's pathetic.

Like go to work everyday for 40 years to earn less than you spend so you can retire with 40% of your salary?

Exactly. It's the American dream, baby!
