Could the pool ops of the already up pools please PM me their Spots address to collect the bounty?

I may have missed it, but what size are the super blocks?  Are they random?  If so, what range can they fall in?

Also, how does this coin differ from ElephantCoin?  I believe it has very fast confirmation times and also has these random super blocks.  



  

Code:

int rand = generateMTRandom(seed, 100000);

		if(rand > 50000 && rand < 50011)		
			nSubsidy = 10045 * COIN;

Basically, each block, a random number is generated, between 0 and 100,000, if that number is greater than 50,000 and less than 50,011, a super block of 10,045 will generated. so, that's 10 chances, out of 100,000, so there's a .1% chance of hitting a super block...I'm not sure how it's figured to be 12 Super blocks every 24 hours at 2 hour at random intervals, I don't see anything to allow for this, in the code, but, I am new at this, so I could be missing something.

Can I have this addressed please? I really just want to know how it works.

Yea. I'm waiting on a couple things before I update the op with the super block info. I'll pm you when I do so you can see it

Superblocks are 205x a normal block or 10045 coins
There is a chance to hit one every 2 hours at .01% or roughly 12 times per day, but it is straight probability so it's certainly possible no one hits one right off or a couple hit in a row

After half a day running the client on Linux, compiled from github source I still see this:

root@ftc-1:~# ./spotsd getinfo|grep blocks
    "blocks" : 0,

Care to explain why it's not working. All ~20 or so coins I've compiled work fine, including some new one I compiled today. And I'm seeing invalid blockchain messages all the time with height ~2600 that are discarded (different genesis I guess hence likely nuggets).

[feeleep]

Super block coming soon. I'm pretty sure that pool will get it. Hurry and hop on

Not if the pool is hit with a DDOS it wont LOL....


~BCX~

You should help out and load up some solo miners to try to get the big block. Help spread the hashrate out, too. Use your powers for good

You guys need better DDOS protection, that was just a minor slap.

~BCX~

I hope the pool op saw your post. It made the website flicker but mining never switched to my fail over.

I wasn't trying to knock it down, just knock on the door.


~BCX~

Guys,

I am doing pools for some experience and fun - currently all my pools together don't get enough donation to pay out servers :/ If you want to DDOS them you can do it easily (as 95% of other pools) but it just doesn't make sense

And I'm seeing invalid blockchain messages all the time with height ~2600 that are discarded (different genesis I guess hence likely nuggets).

Yup, nugget clients trying to connect to spots clients, spots clients trying to connect to nugget clients.    Oh my, so many orphaned blocks because of this.

Download the new client in the op. We updated checkpoints and fixed syncing issues

[iGotSpots]

We need more pools. Especially a big name to pull some of this hashrate around

[feeleep]

BTW: I updated client on the pool

Yours isn't trying to get the Nuggets chain anymore either right? Mine are all good here

not sure how to check it but I dont think so - everything looks good

Does it have the checkmark or is it constantly trying to sync with phantom blocks?

I dont see any suspicious information in log files so again - not sure if I am right but look good

[iGotSpots]

Difficulty is down to .2 again hit them fast

[diatonic]

Any VGB blocks yet? I want to see one in the block explorer.

There have been no superblocks, yet, that I can see

[E.Sam]

On OSX,  for solo mining, I can just go in console and type setgenerate true -1 no?

Mac Client now live at

Please let me know if it works for you so I can pay the bounty

I connected to the network, seems ok.
Not able to mine in spt.coinmine.pl pool.
Trying the others...

Definitely use the first pool if you can. We need to spread the hash rate around.

I have never used a mac in my life sorry. Did the Mac client work at least? Just so I can pay the guy who made it if it works
