Mine new coin: VoteCoin - equihash, very low difficulty now

[megacrypto]

is there something wrong with the network?

it seems that it got stuck at block 10486?!

Code:

{
  "version": 1001150,
  "protocolversion": 170002,
  "walletversion": 60000,
  "balance": 0.00000000,
  "blocks": 10486,
  "timeoffset": -8,
  "connections": 7,
  "proxy": "",
  "difficulty": 5254.167625758466,
  "testnet": false,
  "keypoololdest": 1505317410,
  "keypoolsize": 101,
  "paytxfee": 0.00000000,
  "relayfee": 0.00000100,
  "errors": "WARNING: abnormally high number of blocks generated, 166 blocks received in the last 4 hours (96 expected)"
}

Since the introduction of the (unofficial and unsupported) testing pool, hashrate raised from 1000 Sol/s to 14 000 Sol/s. This increased the difficulty required to mine new blocks, but the testing pool is currently offline, so the remaining miners are still trying to find a block at the speed around 800Sol/s only.

This should stabilise hopefully in few hours.

ok ... im opening my test pool for the night for anyone who wants to try it out ... its setup with 0% fees ... but its just for testing now ... if you mine and a block is found i will keep it running until miners get paid their coins

// *************
// Claymores
// *************
//
// ZecMiner64.exe -zpool POOL_ADDRESS:PORT -zwal WALLET_ADDRESS.worker -zpsw x -allpools 1
//
// example:
ZecMiner64.exe -zpool stratum+tcp://megacrypto.servebeer.com:19834 -zwal t1RwCz5gd5iPt7JeqB7DGNBegu2ULE7wRoT.rig1 -zpsw x -allpools 1

// EWBF's

// miner --server POOL_ADDRESS --port PORT --user WALLET_ADDRESS --pass x
//
// example:
miner --server megacrypto.servebeer.com --port 19834 --user t1RwCz5gd5iPt7JeqB7DGNBegu2ULE7wRoT.rig1 --pass x


EDIT:

Stopping it now (0:00 UTC) due to problems with payout engine, but will leave the pool's core running to process any pending coins payments

closing the stratum port will not allow any miners to connect ... to clarify that point

[megacrypto]

that was quick )) someone just joined and found a block ))

Why is the block reward 100 VOT?

Is there a founder's fee?

Thanks for putting that up megacrypto, even if just for a little while.  I for one am happy to pay fees if you want to put it back up sometime.  I'll probably stop mining if enough people get on though, I've got very little hashpower to offer, just trying to get some before I drown in all the gpu rig sol/s.

@ sp999, I might recommend you start with Zcash if you're interested in altcoins like this one, hush, zen and others.  All are forked off zcash's code, and zcash has pretty good documentation on setup.  So if you can set that one up, you'll find the others very familiar.

actually @coldstorage it seems that i'm facing some problems with payouts ... not sure what exactly it is ...


i started a thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2175113 (so i don't hijack this thread here) with what i will try to do to make the correct payouts to everyone who came in and mined!

[sp999]

@coldstorage Thank you v much , I will follow your inputs , hopefully, i can get through.

[pfft]

When we can mine with win ?

[coldstorage]

As soon as there's a pool you can mine with the equihash miners like claymore on windows.  The votecoin people intend to build a pool once their ICO reaches a certain benchmark.  You could buy into the ICO to help move it towards the mark.

I would like to thank you all who are participating in mining.
Current votecoin RPC client had an issue with reporting of block reward. It reported 100 VOT reward only.
This has been fixed, so all pool operators should upgrade to newest votecoin sources.

Official testing pool (0% fee) is here:
http://pool.votecoin.site/

Connect to port 3333

Thanks to all folks who helped us make it running.
Please remember the pool is still in testing phase, so lets see how it works.
