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

[stevebrush]

the old one is a full node too...
 currently, we have 3 full nodes (only node, not wallet) running 24/24 7/7 : 2 in USA 1 in France.

I've just set up a node under Linux and see some blocks "got added to alternative chain". 45348 until 45355.

I see these are blocks found by your pool at uvac.fr:

What happened? Did your pool fork away from the main chain?

Mine77 seems to have mined the main chain:

EDIT: As far as I can tell, uvac.fr is slowly but happily mining away on its own chain. It has mined two more blocks now, 45356 and 45357. The main chain is however at 45497. I think the 9 miners with their 8kH/s on this pool are currently just heating the rooms, without any rewards unfortunately.

I just test the new node an wallet since about 3-4 days on my pool. the one with Difficulty adjustment... the 2 nodes are running the new node too.
but wait hard fork is scheduled later... we will announce it. Don't run the old node now, hard fork is coming and I will release the new nodes (very) soon
I finally compile successfully the new wallet for windows, packaging... and releasing...
 
Expect "strange" behaviours during next days

Bounty of 420 IRD for the Difficulty adjustment - nicehash atacks [FIX]

Was just sent to - stevebrush
For the up coming hard fork we are going to be experiancing.
Cmon guys lets start the bounties rolling.  

Thanks ! I did not understand what was those 20 * 5 + 100 * 2 +..... transactions ! As I make tests beetwen wallets, I though new wallet act wired !!!! lol !

[nanona]

The old wallet has no mining function and therefore nobody will keep it open for anything but a few short minutes every couple of days.
The three nodes you mention are probably the three pools.

No, 2 nodes and 1 pool actually.

So the other two pools do not run their own nodes?

BTW, when I set up a node today and synced, my daemon was connecting and fetching blocks from a good dozen of nodes (in the US, Europe, Canada and Russia). I don't know if all of these are on 24/7 or not, since you say there are only 3 nodes 24/7.

Or what did you mean by "currently, we have 3 full nodes (only node, not wallet) running 24/24 7/7 : 2 in USA 1 in France"? I thought it refers to the entire network.

I see you have restarted your pool and it's on the main chain now. The forked chain was obviously 17 blocks long and should be dead now. I was worried that some nicehash idiot would come and point to that pool and make the forked chain the main chain after a few hours. But fortunately nicehash is dead now and I hope it stays that way.

So you tested the new DAA HF daemon on main net and it hard forked unintentionally?

I built the linux daemon from github only to see how it works. Please take your time with the DAA hardfork. Since nicehash is dead now there is now less urgency and things can be worked on with less stress, to get it done properly.

Regarding the zawy DAA, have you noticed that Masari will HF again in a couple of days? I don't know exactly why, because the zawy DAA introduced in v3 works perfect. Supposedly for some additional fine tuning of the DAA.

Which zawy DAA version is going into Iridium? Same as Masari v3, v4 or a different one?

They do, but there are not listed in seeds (hardcoded in wallet and daemons nodes) - the seeds are there to tell the node where to find peers to sync and validate BC

I restart the node to follow the main chain... I added check point. I first schedule the HF at block 50000 ( in 9 days ) but now, I think it'll be possible to HF at block 48000 (in 6 days), and blocks will become at version 2 with diff implemented. after block 48000, old daemons and wallet won't work anymore.

I will make a page to explain this and the procedure to open your wallet file with the new wallet application.

We can say, that there is some rebrand of IRD is coming.
Some cryptos making a new thread after rebranding. So maybe we need to make a new thread to get some attention to IRD, beacuse new thread with new name of the topic and 0 posts will attract new miners. 100%

This is a great idea Alex! Need to revamp iridium from the basement. Let'make some new miners come in!

[stevebrush]

Announce
#####################################################################

Pool owners :

a hard fork is scheduled in about 6 days.
Update the daemon and simplewallet to the latest version :

https://github.com/steevebrush/iridium/releases/tag/v2.1.2

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

verification bug is fixed, in this version

for information : https://ird.uvac.fr is running this node since about 1 week

I will release the new wallet version this week-end.

[anl1m]

Are there some exchages coming in close future

At which block will the HF occur? 48000?

Edit: I checked the source code and I think it has 50000 for the HF.

so do we'll have a new name? Iridium is already a very good name

I don't see any new name in the sources. It's still Iridium.
Probably Alexey meant the new logos which stevebrush posted (courtesy of dREAMsHOT) a few days ago.

I would suggest to let the HF happen and observe over one week if all goes well. And only then make a new thread and make noise, if devs want to make a new thread at all.

Serious problems are much easier to fix as long as there are just a few pools and no exchanges involved.

Hi guys, will the new win gui wallet be ready until block 48000? what we can do , please info. thanks.

[parkysik]

Where do you trade?

u can here..
what`s your sell order?

I have 12,408.32187524 IRD.
How much is 1 IRD? (BTC)

[Raffozor92]

will change something for miners and wallet owners with this fork?

[nanona]

Pro tip: Hodl it. IRD will be at parity with the USD in no time. Thank me later.

48000, I did not pull request the main code...

Every new wallet for osx, win and linux are ready.
not yet released.

What makes you think that? There are other cryptnight coins released these months with way more features and there are stuck to 40-400 satoshi ...

Wake up. As I see this coin has nothing to offer except beeing another cryptnight. or, if I don't understand and I am wrong... what makes this coin different than the others ?
