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

[joshuaj]

Best reason for mining this is because it's low difficulty?
I don't see a lot of features.

I think the difficulty is not really low now...

i have 1 mining rig with 4 GTX 1070. waiting for windows wallet

You don't have to wait, you can do as I did:
- download VMWare Player (free non comercial use)
- download ubuntu 16.04 LTS ISO

Install WMWare Player and create new system on it, pick the downloaded ISO and the only thing you have to configure is capacity on hard driver(I suggest about 25GB)
Than you will be able to create wallet as on VoteCoin project's GitHub instructions.

It's easy.

Once you create your wallet, you can start mining on Windows mining software.

ohhhhhh shit.... great ide.. why not in my mind.. lol  thanks alot bro....

The difficulty is actually surprisingly high. I only mined about 50 VOT's in about 8 hours on a 1060 3GB. That's the same amount I mine XVG (and they have a brighter future tbh). I will mine a few more days to see if it gets a little better and might switch back to XVG.
I just started the whole Cryptocurrency and mining thing a month ago and don't have a big rig yet so I gotta choose something with a future and an actual return for now since I'm mainly testing the waters so far. Big rig will be built in a few weeks. Then I will for sure come back to VOT. I will still leave the node running every now and then though to help out a little.

There is a serious problem with the core daemon, that should be attent to.

When you use z_exportwallet to export the wallet and import it on another device. Shielded transactions cannot be unshielded anymore! You will get the error Witness for note commitment is null.

This problem also seem to exist in the ZCash core, and it's still an open issue! See: https://github.com/zcash/zcash/issues/2524

The issue causes homepool currently not to be able to pay miners as shielded funds are locked into shielded addresses! Please attent to this serious issue!

Yeah that is a good one. Maybe also that is the only reason for mining it. Does not seem to have all that huge potential.

Could someone of the team also tell us how this coin will be used and how features will be implemented?

Small update to my pool:

This is a reason for me to stop mining it. It needs some clarification.

Will mine some if a windows miner becomes available.

Hello guys,


Why my balance got stuck on 40.81 on http://votecoin.homepool.xyz

Immature: 0  Bal: 40.81011309  Paid: 774.24290344

Do I need to do something? or any issue with the pool??

There is quite some delay. Just moved the wallet to server with lot more RAM.

Hope it'll catch up soon.

Well, can you help me with this?

Thanks for this. Now my laptop is ready for linux only wallets. Installed ubuntu 16.04 LTS and ran build_debian.sh just like the instructions say to do. =)

Interesting, 50 xvg in 8 hours? What's the settings on that 1060

[szafa]

Try to mine in my gtx 1080ti.

Someone tell me why one should mine this coin, what would be the upside compared to other coins.

Did you try stopping the daemon and restarting it with -rescan parameter? Like: votecoind -rescan
This is what some people suggested to do.
You can send me your wallet.dat file and I'll see what we can do, if anything.

I'm getting 140-160 XVG a day which makes it an average of 50 per 8 hours.
It's a Gigabyte 1060 3GB. Driver V385.41.
Settings are +160 Core and +683 Mem making it 1556/4482Mhz. 67 Degrees. Fan is set on auto but I set everything a little higher because of the temperatures here in SoCal.

Edit: The GPU has Samsung Memory which makes it a little faster than GPU with Hynix Memory. I learned that from the "Bits be tripping" youtube channel so I made sure I got exactly this 1060.

I'm using Windows ccminer on idcray pool. I use the myr-groestl algorithm. Concept is the same as any other Command Line miner. There are videos on youtube on how to set it up. You might also want to check the XVG (Verge) forum here on BCT.

@Everyone: Sorry to hijack this thread... :$

[vitiriha]

Hi!
When will the Windows Wallet be released approx? Not sure if it's worth setting up Linux for that.
