[ANN][ROI] ROI Coin | CPU Only Solo Mining | 15% POS | 18.07% Term Deposit

[Anne_mansfeld]

Hello all,

My name is Anne from The Netherlands and I am new here. I read some articles about the Roicoin as a CPU mining coin and I like the idea therefore I decide to try to mine some coins with my old XP computer in spite of the fact that I have no experience with mining coins and if my old computer is able to do this.

The processor of my computer is a 3,00 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 with 8 kilobyte primary memory cache and 512 kilobyte secondary memory cache, Hyper-threaded (2 total)

The O.S is: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3.

I downloaded the file "ROIcoin-qt_x32_v1100" and start the wallet. It was working for one hour showing the message:

"Catching up...processed 25014 blocks of transaction history, last received block was generated 2 weeks ago transaction after this will not yet be visible".

After that appears the following message On the left down side of the screen "No block source available..."

On the Debug window: there is one node 153.213.96.231:3377.

This situation is staying for more than 15 hours.

Will be happy if anyone will try to help me solving this problem.

Anne

Ann  your wallet is out of date we are on version 1.1.2 not 1.1.1

Thank you! Do you know where can I download the new version for XP 32? Link?

[punchyjoe]

Anne - just checked there does not appear to be one

can anyone help poor Anne out??

Hi Anne,
Welcome to ROI. Bad news to hear but Pentium 4 is not a very good CPU to mine with. You will be lucky to get 10 to 15 h/s and won't be very profitable at those rates. Although the Pentium 4 was a good CPU back in the day, they're not very efficient today. You can try to upgrade your cpu to a dual core if your motherboard allows it. More than likely you have a foxnett ls-36 motherboard and depending on the socket may be able to upgrade but dell made several different sockets for these motherboards unlike AMD who has kept the same two sockets for several years. Very unlikely to upgrade. I would recommend if this is your old computer to just run your newer one at night or while afk. Good luck and hope you find this information useful

The version v1120 is there. just need to scroll down little bit.
Also it is here, link from website
https://roi-coin.com/roi-coin-downloads
She needs to follow the instruction to follow the right chain.

Thank you EpicNubie. Indeed I have another computer for my work with:

2,95 gigahertz Intel Core i7 870
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
256 kilobyte secondary memory cache
8192 kilobyte tertiary memory cache
64-bit ready
Multi-core (4 total)
Hyper-threaded (8 total)
Run on Win 7 64 bit.

Actually my aim is to learn how to mine coins and not for earning money this is why I start with my old computer to avoid problems which might happen.

Hi,

After a lot of digging , combining work from wolf/optiminer and nicehash, I managed to find a working version,
please try the following for me,
warning: This is my first time compiling a mining tool for windows.

https://github.com/ghobson2013/hodlminer-wolf/releases/download/v2.4.4/hodlminer_AVX2_AES_win64.zip

Hi, your miner provides better hashrate than previous version.
Core i7-4785T - ~370h\s instead of ~300h\s
Xeon E5-2620v4 (dual cpu) - ~990h\s instead of 830 h\s
Core i5-8250U - ~466h\s instead of 371 h\s
Xeon E5-2430 (dual cpu) - Cant run, instead of 600 h\s
Core i7-3540M - Cant run, instead of 143 h\s

Looks like your miner cant work properly on my 2 last machines cause they CPUs are old and dont support AVX2.
Anyway thank you very much for your work!

P.S. Could you please disable these annoying messages "Time for GenRandomGarbage..." ? Are there any existing way to do it?

Ghobson, you did a great job on compiling Windows version of hodl miner.

I am getting 20% more hash rate, but it would be great if those "Time for GenRandomGarbage messages are not showing up. Is that possible?

Hi thankyou for testing,
in my defence I did call it hodlminer_AVX2_AES for a reason
I can fix the annoying message will publish new binaries later this morning after coffee

[ironmaik]

@ghobson - "you did it" :-)

got 1 block throughout the night solo with new binary on ubuntu 16.04.
I did expect 2 blocks but right now hashrate increases so it might be ok.

How long this will show up "immature" in the wallet?
The block is there since 8 hours now - I know for the coinspool it
takes 360 rounds to be balanced.

For windows I'm out - but others verified it to be ok already.

I can also conform about 20% higher hashrate.

Great stuff - thx to you ghobson :-)

Thanks, just re-uploaded both binaries without the annoying "generate" messages.
ROIcoin block maturation is 360 blocks.

[ironmaik]

360 == conform to coinspool, so wait and see for another 100 rounds....

for the ones interested in - the new binary runs on debian strech (version 9) as well
without any modification

Thank you very much! It's just perfect now

I have updated my wallet to 1.1.2. I have deleted blockchain and resync it agin. Wallet is working well (except that still recive tab has problem with background transparency), but my deposit that I have made before fork in december are showing wrong maturity date - about 3 months later than it was stated before fork. Will be my coins locked longer? Does anybody have the same problem with yours deposits before december fork?

so i think this is why called fork , i think the coins is on your before wallet ,

Hi coins will be locked untill the chain hits that block..

EG, In my case I locked some coins at block 934 for 12 months. Them coins will unlock on block 263735 est time 16-02-2019.

IF we get to that block (263735) befor that date then my coins will unlock sooner.

Hope this helps.

I don't remember if maturity block number is the same as before, but maturity date is far in future. If you are correct and fork didn't change the maturity block number of maturity it is all about the blockchain slowed down sharply (about 25%). Do I think right?

There have been some issues with the network so that might have caused a delay in blocks and hence the maturity dates were "pushed back"
