[ANN] Announcing Galaxycoin - GLX, the new PoW/PoS coin, no premine!

[danbi]

There is something weird going on with the network: share rates go up and down -- looks like some huge multipool comes to mine from time to time which results in difficulty spikes. Then they go away and difficulty goes way down. Rinse and repeat.

Someone needs to fix their software, as this is not doing any service to their users, nor to the coin.

FYI cryptsy is on the fork that right now has 219094 blocks (hash of block 219094 is 0000000053235ef712be5fae119519f992b0d816e14ac5918a0882beb0486e64). There are at least two forks, poolofpools and coinchoose are on the "wrong" one for example.

If your client stops syncing you probably have a bunch of messages like this in your debug.log;

ERROR: mempool transaction missing input
ERROR: mempool transaction missing input
ERROR: mempool transaction missing input
ERROR: mempool transaction missing input
ERROR: mempool transaction missing input
ERROR: mempool transaction missing input
ERROR: mempool transaction missing input
ERROR: mempool transaction missing input

Just restart the client every time this happens to continue syncing (might/will happen quite a few times during syncing... ).

It will be forking. The diff rate on the coin wouldn't be so low if there were any huge pools mining it.

The coin needs work, the diff rate change percentage needs to be lowered to make it less aggressive, some new checkpoints need adding, and something needs to be done about the errors:

The dev stopped supporting it.

I'm working on (slowly) building a new wallet that fixes these errors.
I will then take over development

anyone mining solo glx?

[footlongc]

  Admin from poolofpools here, looks like coinarmy is on the same fork as us... How are you determining which is the 'right' fork? Based on cryptsy? Are any pools on the 'right' fork?  How are you even sure there is a fork? When did the fork happen?   I've been able to send coins to cryptsy from our pool and it wasn't that long ago.    I will gladly kill our pool if we are on the wrong fork, as I'm quite tired of the wallet eating as much CPU as it does.  We definitely need to either kill this coin or get a new 'modern' set of wallets.

so lets talk about 0% fee pools
currently mining at http://galaxypool.chriskoeber.com/
so, what do we have here?
first, take a look at finder section



as we see, first place taken by user luqash3
second, take a look at blocks section




nice work luqash3

and third, take a look at pool section



wow luqash3 23kh/s....and most blocks finded by this user

maybe I dont understand how things works...but it seems A LITTLE strange for me when 20kh/s miner finds a blocks almost one by one...

can someone explain this ?

[ckoeber]

Easy, that user has been mining at a much higher hash rate earlier and has then left the pool after withdrawing their coins or whatever.

It takes a while for the pool to update after someone leaves the pool while contributing an extremely high hash-rate because they have so much existing shares left.

Therefore the pool software will still calculate some of the existing shares in the hashrates.

You can try this yourself if you like; try out my pool for a while, disconnect, and see if your account still shows a positive hashrate for a while longer before finally reaching zero (0).

sure, sure...

lets take a look at today stats





luqash3 continue to work with average hashrate of 20-25kh/s, and he still finds the most blocks
poor highspeed miners....look like there just not enougn luck for them, right ckoeber?

I am not to defend whoever, I am just puzzled about that

As far as I see the pool does not offer any extra reward to block finders apart from this rating (It might be that I missed something). Then why this bothers you?

If you suspect that something is handled unfair, why you don't change the pool?

Do you know that different card models produce different results in terms of solution reporting latency?

[xen0s]

lets consider a guy with a veyron and guy with 1980 year vw golf
they go 1/4 mile 10 times, and m8 with golf win 8 of 10 races...
its very interesting why do you need spent money to veyron if you can win with 1980 junk...and very strange)

Fair enough; review how many shares that user earned and thus what was the respective payouts for that user each round.

You can scroll back to any round in question via the arrows at the top of the page.

Because this person is most likely trying to promote another pool. What better way to do that than to sully an existing pool operator who charges no fees.

show pls the post from me with link to another glx pool...or just continue to make your good work, sir lugash-ckoeber

Review the stats from all of the blocks found and post how many coins that account has made.

You can keep monitoring as long as you like; those stats are publicly available.

[Apostle4444]

Please fix the client as its not working anymore..

[icecube45]

Please fix the client as its not working anymore..

I've been working on it

[ckoeber]

Any updates on a new client? We could also use some changes on how difficulties are calculated.

FYI, my pool at http://galaxypool.chriskoeber.com/ is still running.

VARDIFF Support, no fees, prop payouts, and stratum based mining.

[Hueristic]

Looks like 50% orphans.

What Pool is on the right chain and what nodes are?

And is there a downloadable QT wallet?

Well, you are mostly right. Except for the part where you think it's a pool. My software solo mines this coin when diff goes below 1.5 and switches to other coins whenever it goes above. No sense in wasting any time on this coin above 1.5. I can usually knockout double digit blocks blocks everytime the diff crashes and spend 95% of my time on some other coin.
