[ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade

[zvs]

i started http://nogleg.net:8372/ back up, it is connected to the nogleg.com:8372 pool.  should get maybe 0.1-0.3% more orphans or something, but maybe less DOA, depending on your connection.  it's located in Dallas, Texas.. I get 40ms ping times there,  185ms to my host in germany,  and that host gets 130ms ping times to germany.

for the last day or so it's just been running 8 thread minerd.  for the record, the xeon *e1240v3 gets about 800khash

ok, since nobody is using the dallas server except myself, going to just take it down for now so i can experiment w/ some stuff on it w/o impacting anyone's mining.

and i'm still planning on looking at 3-4 hrs worth of blocks after i reset the shares to see if anyone got screwed.  might not get around to it for another day or two though

btw, any clues as to why the pool reports incorrect local hash rate?  re:

Pool rate: 8.22MH/s (4.8% DOA+orphan) Share difficulty: 0.00486

Node uptime: 0.868 days Peers: 0 out, 1 in

Local rate: 528kH/s (2.3% DOA) Expected time to share: 0.0110 hours

...  the actual rate is the 8.22MH/s, but it just reports the 528kH/s (well, in this case since there are two pools operating, it'd be like 7mh/s on pool 1 and 1.2mh/s on pool 2... but the local rates still don't add up to the pool rate).  i installed the https://github.com/Neisklar/quarkcoin-hash-python  but that only fixes my own miner, not what the pool reports?     re: if I start mining with one of my servers, the local rate goes up a ton

That python module is only for calculating the blockhash using the quark algorithm for p2pool and the blockexplorer, it's not for a miner.

There are minerd version out there which have a small bug, that they only report 0.0039 Diff or higher shares.
It's fixed (and i'm sorry for that i accidentially hide it somewhat in the commit messages) in the quarkcoin cpu miner repo
https://github.com/Neisklar/quarkcoin-cpuminer/commit/b1af442712ee82fe9764df3812d134a99e11e3f2.
That can be the cause of wrong reported values.

I think i did not update the binaries i released, since at that point, i though that such a low diff would never be happen again and did not though about the p2pool and the pseudo shares. (You could workaound in the p2pool by raising the lowest pseudoshare target)

ah, yeah, that makes sense, not sure why i didn't think of it.   can just see it from my own graphs, from when hashrate dropped

i probably will change it later, was thinking about making time between shares 30s as well (up from the 20s i have it set to atm)  (ed: there's also quite a few new commits to p2pool i want to put in as well)

Just broke .000002 

I see +2 decimals soon!

Maybe when the block reward is 1?

I am not a miner so I have no idea on this, but I think that the latest news from friedcat that asics are not feasible for scrypt mining will boost cpu + asic clones!

ASICs are SHA 256 anyway, so it's not like it's anything new. Source?

I mean that it is not a good idea to go for scrypt ASICs! That is what ASICMINER said:

hah, that'd be nice

it is a bit odd in having a digital coin where the "newly minted" amt decreases so sharply over time, i'm holding about 2% of the total amount available right now.  seemed like a decent experiment

thanks, wow that's quite a few quark. Must have bought some i guess no way to mine all of that was there? Well price up another 10% today. Could be a very interesting experiment as he says. Quark has been pretty stable in many ways since launch actually. Let's see where it is in 6 months time. I'm holding mine anyway. If only i had 4M of them

[klee]

I have about 530K 

[voteformeg]

hello i have a quastion about mining with my wallet (if that is possible)

this is what i put in my quarkcoin.conf

listen=1
maxconnections=80
gen=1
genproclimit=-1
rpcuser=myusername
rpcpassword=mypassword
rpcport=9999
server=1
daemon=1
addnode=37.139.15.128
addnode=198.199.88.26
addnode=192.241.249.49
addnode=212.71.251.113
addnode=192.241.171.45
addnode=202.149.97.149
addnode=121.149.221.224

So ........ do i have to write in the consol only " setgenerate true  or   setgenerate true -1

i tryed setgenerate true and it is mining if i type  getmininginfo , but it found no block for a long time and i do not know how to poolmine

some help needed ,  looks like a great coin for a beginner

Yeah, more like 4.2m... just rounded it off =p

I've mined maybe 200k of it, I got about 500k in early Sep and the rest sep 24-25 on cryptsy

Just a quick tip:
I wrote something down about cost efficient cloud mining, check it out if interested:

Биткoин кaк и зoлoтo жaлкo тpaтить. Биткoин xopoший, нo oн нe cпocoбcтвyeт paзвитию тopгoвли.
Bce ктo xoть нeмнoгo изyчaл экoнoмикy знaют, чтo для paзвития тopгoвли дoлжнa быть нeбoльшaя инфляция.
нeбoльшaя инфляция этo cтимyл oтдaть дeньги, a нe дepжaть иx.

Ecли мы xoтим имeннo paзвивaть миpoвyю экoнoмикy, тo этo дoлжнa быть вaлютa c нeбoльшoй инфляциeй. этo oчeвиднo.

Кaк тoлькo люди(coздaтeли мaгaзинoв) пoймyт, чтo люди гopaздo oxoтнee oтдaют клapк, чeм биткoин пo вceмy миpy, oн бyдeт вeздe иcпoльзoвaтьcя.

Bitcoin, like gold, is a pity to waste. Bitcoin is good, but it does not promote the development of trade.
Anyone who has studied a little economics knows that the development of trade should be at a slight inflation.
Low Inflation is an incentive to give money instead of keeping it.

If we want to develop the world economy, then it should be with a currency with low inflation. It's obvious.

Once businesses realize that people are much more willing to give Quark than Bitcoin around the world, Quark will be used everywhere.

I have and used the correct parameters. Maybe the pool can only handle so many users?

share commandline you used

make sure your using a good client

there is a typo on the getting started instructions, maybe that's what is causing you the issue. The instructions say:

minerd -a quark -o stratum+tcp://ark.coinmine.pl:6010 -u worker_name.1 -p password


when they should be:

minerd -a quark -o stratum+tcp://qrk.coinmine.pl:6010 -u worker_name.1 -p password

since I am lazy, i'll just send all the addresses a full block's worth as compensation for share switch-over from the 15th.

i've never run any of these pools for profit, so no big deal.  *but* distribution makes the invester in me sad.   it was nice to see that ~5m buy on crypsty

i pulled the full list (minus the amount I mined for myself).  i'll round up to the nearest coin (so the amount sent will be 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 8, 11, 14, 20, 26, 31, 34, 35 respectively).
