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

[stevebrush]

I made a snapshop of the blockchain around block ~115207 in case of someone need it.
it is available here :
http://test.irdpool.fr/iridiumDB.tar.bz2

[hsbobo]

A new exchange is started: QUANTA. Help bring awareness to their exchange and let them know you would like Iridium(IRD) to be listed by following these rules:
1. Follow @QuantaDex
2. Create a QUANTA account here quantadex.com
3. Vote for IRD here: http://quantadex.com/vote/439/iridium

people are power, cheers!

Hard Fork Summary :


We are now at block 115340 and the Iridium network is running smooth.
The first block after changing POW was mined in "only" 1 hour and 20 minutes despite the expected big hashrate drop.
The drop was from 1.6Mh/s to 20kh/s and in 60 blocks, the difficulty was reflecting the exact real hashrate :
big up to the latest version of LWMA from Zawy.

We are now asic proof due to the cryptonight lite v7 POW and we kick out this MH fantom (witch still mining in V3 at this time ).
We also are nicehash proof (they did not implemented cn lite v7 algo yet)
minimum mixin is 2 now (3 in the real transaction) and this is mandatory : your privacy level is increased.

Now, exchange price is our choice, not asics !

All 12 seed nodes stay straight in sync before and after HF, also the prepared pools : they get blocks and send payments without a single drop.
Only 1 pools stay behind : irdpool.tk as usual and 1 pool crash at block 115202 : irdpool.ru

Crex24 switch or has already switch at this time, we talk them a few hours ago.
Tradeogre still experiencing ddos but is up to date
No news yet from altex.exchange but we contact them.

In any case : all v3 blocks are now rejected, also the containing transactions
so don't mine at irdpool.tk, you will lost everything mined there since HF.

Iridium is now running the version 4 ! and yes, we can say loud and clear :

THIS IS A HUDGE SUCCESS !


Thank you every miners for switching you software to the right algo,
Thank you pools dev for following the movement
and thank you @Aiwe (KRB), @Ran (BBSCoin), @Takezo (Rto), @Jagerman (Graft) (security fix),
@Zawy of course and every coin dev on Zawy's channel where we had or follow many discussions
about the choice algo, the security patchs to implements and also following others hard fork...

20kh/s or 200kh/s?

I've seen it only around 200 and we are stable at 350 now.

And one question: Are the mining revenue calculators in the pool software correct now or do they need a fix?

EDIT: Latest News on https://explorer.ird.cash/ is outdated now.

EDIT: Iridium was after 15 blocks with the difficulty from slight ASIC level at 270M (only few ASICs mined it) down to CPU/GPU level at 60M at nominal block time. Masari is after very slow 25 blocks with the difficulty still only down to 2G from 9G when it forked and it has to drop much more since block times are still far away from the nominal one. Masari had clearly a few hundred ASICs dominating its chain, but still why does the adjustment go slower? Do you happen to know the difference in the Iridium and Masari DAAs?

It start at 20kh/s ! I was a little affraid as bbscoin wait for 17h for their first mined bloc... and it take 60 blocks to reflect the exact mining HR.

Profit calculator take global hashrate vs pool hashrate / miner hashrate * block reward, so it should be correct.

For the block explorer, I'm working on a new version there : https://explorer.beta.ird.cash where we can see tx pool and the current mined block difficulty, more accurate as we can see the "next" block diff. it's not finished yet but principal function works, so I left the current aside.

For Masari, I don't really know what they have implemented since december. I followed Zawy's works and listen to him about adjustments since v2.

Our v4 diff is the latest LWMA version and limits are now fixed by the FTL 'future time block' and the MTP (BTC acronym, don't know but for us, it's the blockchain timestamp check window.) that's why the rise and fall of the diff is more speed. the V3 versions had limits a little too stricts despite a very nice performance that protect us very well (I think you saw zawy's graphs). It's a perpetual research of perfection

Hi folks,

I am currently not able to get my GPUs to mine again

What I have tried so far:

Code:

tpruvot/ccminer --algo cryptonight -> reject reason: Low difficulty share
tpruvot/ccminer --algo cryptonight-lite -> reject reason: Low difficulty share
tpruvot/ccminer --algo cryptolight -> reject reason: Low difficulty share
KlausT/ccminer-cryptonight --algo monero -> reject reason: Low difficulty share
KlausT/ccminer-cryptonight --algo cryptonight -> reject reason: Low difficulty share
LesPristy/ccminer-cryptonight-light -> reject reason: Low difficulty share
iridiumdev/iridium-gpu-miner -> GPU #0: FATAL: failed to allocate device memory for long state

All build from src with cuda-8.0 on Ubuntu.

Got myself banned from several pools in the meantime (facepalm)...


What am I doing wrong? Or more important: What miners are there which have support for the new cryptonight lite v7 algo?

Any help appreciated & cheers,
bob

xmrig, xmr-stak latests versions support cryptonight lite v7 (also called variant 1). tested by miners. you can find the configs and cmd line on discord, channel mining.
For testing : there is also a pool test : https://test.irdpool.fr : ban time is set to 30 seconds.

There is something I can not understand : each time the price increase a little, for example, we were around 140 sat, someone sell very small amounts even under the buying offer : now 127 on Tradeogre while lower buying offer is 130 and 111 on crex24. This reflect not the "real price" because there is no averaging and keep IRD low.

As I'm not a trader, neither a miner, what is the point ? is this guy really mentalt retarderet or there is a strategy ?

Yea someobody is clearly trying to keep the price low (which isn't half bad imo) to accumulate more coins. With the rapid coin emission of the first year it is quite normal to see the price drop specially with such a short time in an exchange. People who are hodling now are going to be the real winners in a few months time. The current price is insanely low for the nethash required to mine the coin now that the POW is GPU/CPU only. With the cheap ASIC/Nicehash hashrates gone I expect this to slowly pick up some traction along with more miners.

Well said. However it is profitable to mine it now, unless you have insanely high electricity rates.

I'm not sure. I think that better option is mining ETH now. Sell it and buy IRD. This is a great time to accumulate IRD. It gives much more IRD.

I'm doing the same thing. so more profitable. I advise everyone to do so.

Last chance to load up cheap IRD? Price 40% up on TradeOgre today.

With AMD it is more profitable to mine IRD.

its already +180%

Finally a good lite V7 coin to mine.

Now IRD is the best and top altcoin to invest in. Platinum in world of cryptocurrencies. In near future price will growth more and more.
Monero is past. Iridium is future
