[GLC] Globalcoin | 4 Year Anniversary 1.5.4! | NO IPO, NO PREMINE | [SCRYPT]

[roundrobin]

Using just the two nodes you suggested now, MinerMike. Network difficulty is up to 3 now, from 1 before. (and still reported as very high at 243k further up in the status display). Will see if I manage to solve a block this way.

[roundrobin]

I did what you said to me Mike but i don't see news transactions.

Maybe two blocks orphaned??I dont think so. Maybe a problem of set up?

Just a thought... are you sure your wallet is unlocked? Because you cannot solo-mine without unlocking the wallet first.

If the wallet is locked, execute this on your terminal/cmd prompt: globalcoind.exe walletpassphrase PASSWORDHERE 9999999

This will keep the wallet unlocked for the pool software for pretty much as long as it's running. You can confirm by doing globalcoind.exe getinfo, which should show in the bottom "unlocked_until" : <any number except 0>.

Yes, is unlocked, i never set a password.

For anyone wanting to really help contribute to the network security it would be great if you could setup a dedicated node on a VPS, you can do this for as little as $5 a month with digitalocean.com (there's probably some coupons around as well to get first month free etc).

Here is a quick guide.

Register an account with https://www.digitalocean.com

Create a new droplet (512mb $5 a month will do fine) and select ubuntu 12.04 x64

Hostname: glcnode (or whatever you want)

Your root login details will be emailed to you

SSH to your server using putty or similar then issue the following commands (line by line):

Change your root password

Code:

passwd

You'll be prompted to type a new password twice.

Install updates

Code:

apt-get update -y
apt-get upgrade -y

Install ufw firewall and configure rules for globalcoin

Code:

apt-get install ufw
ufw allow 22/tcp
ufw allow 55789/tcp
ufw --force enable

Install requirements for globalcoin

Code:

apt-get install -y build-essential libboost-all-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libdb5.1-dev libdb5.1++-dev
apt-get install -y git
cd ~
git clone git://github.com/muddafudda/globalcoin.git

Since we're on a 512mb server we need to make a swapfile otherwise globalcoin runs out of memory when compiling

Code:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

Now let's compile globalcoind

Code:

cd globalcoin/src
mkdir obj
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-

This make command will take a few minutes then

Code:

sudo cp globalcoind /usr/bin

Time to setup globalcoin configuration

Code:

cd ~
mkdir .globalcoin
cd .globalcoin
nano globalcoin.conf

Copy and paste the following, edit in a username and password then press ctrl+k to save it as globalcoin.conf

Code:

rpcuser=USER
rpcpassword=PASSWORD
rpcallowip=localhost
rpcport=55788
port=55789
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0
maxconnections=50
addnode=162.243.239.107
addnode=162.243.106.159

Now we can start globalcoind, type the following:

Code:

globalcoind

It should say something about globalcoind starting, wait a minute then you can check your node with:

Code:

globalcoind getinfo

[MinerMike]

Another dedicated node is up:

addnode=162.243.104.134

Another dedicated node is up:

addnode=162.243.104.134

I mentioned it earlier but this one should be pretty reliable.

162.243.231.130

For some reason I am only showing 8 connections. I have the port open but still show less than10 connections. Any ideas? I just made a couple of small changes, maybe they will help get more connections.

I've added your address to my nodes configs, should help spread it around

[Sovietaced]

Thanks for the IP addresses guys. I was having a real hard time with the addresses from the OP.

[X68N]

Block explorer doesnt work, site doesnt load.

please fix it. greetings

[roundrobin]

Still no luck solo-mining a block. 4-5 healthy connections to other nodes, everything APPEARS to be working OK but I'm confused about the "network diff set to 3" message, when the other difficulty displayed is "243k". Anyone got any ideas what's up with that?

The difficulty is 3.7098 at the moment, so it's more or less correct with what yours are showing. The 243k was, from what I believe, earlier when the pools went down and difficulty went very low (0,2).

you dont get any blocks cuz your gpu's are not hot enough...

Noticed as well, do you push them around 100C when you are not around as well? I really dislike anything over 80C when I'm not at home.

[colx]

Anyone else not getting a single payout from japool?

Well, the card is still running the locked stock BIOS which throttles and goes down to half core speed and 0.95V when it gets "too hot", but I have had the card reading 100C on both cores for several hours on end, and there are no signs of anything in the case overheating.

I'm still split on whether I should return the card and try some "pump/hold/dump" instead, or invest in a dedicated water cooling block to keep the noise down so it becomes bearable to have it running 24/7 - the fans are just way too loud to endure.

Yesterday I could not even get work from japool. It kept rejecting and making trouble, so I just stopped trying. globalcoin.miners-pool.eu worked perfectly until their setup crashed the other day, though.

What cards are they? I have xfx 7950 DD. Really bad coolers and those exhaust fans are LOUD! I also have 2xGTX 770 from MSI, can't hear them at all and they keep around 60C without maxing fans. But again, nvidia is not very good at this stuff. Not gonna buy waterblocks myself, they are way too hard to get for me and expensive as well. Even more cost to break even!

It's a single Gigabyte HD7990. The blocks are expensive, yeah, but if you hit the right coins so to speak then the cooling blocks, just like the rig, will eventually pay for itself. It's kinda vital to keep the rig going 24/7 to make a profit, and right now I just can't stand having it going around the clock because of the noise... sigh.

I just tried if japool's payments were working again, and it's handing out payments now, but 5 GLC for 30 minutes seems way too little for 1 mH/s @ 3.x difficulty, does it not? That's about... 50% fee, not 2% fee.

Yeah, something is not right.

[orco#2]

The other pool is probably getting all the blocks.
