[ANN] Copper Bars | Scrypt-Jane CPU | Accepted for Gold and Silver soon [CPR]

[iGotSpots]

Orphans were expected. That's not the issue. I'm going to keep it running for a little while longer and see what happens. I really think it will sort itself out. I'm not seeing any forks at all on the 5 nodes I've had running since minute 1

Sheer number of them seems to be messing with syncing. The linux node I launched has been sitting at around 10034 blocks with thousands upon thousands of orphans being processed ( im guessing these are the other forks getting trashed). Been there for several minutes now.


Once it does get synced (assuming you dont restart) it seems to be okay. It may correct itself in time, will have to see. Forks are bad though =/

The only forks were from bad nodes. We got rid of them this morning.

You guys...it really is going fine. I understand some of you lost coins and you're pissed. If I had any to give you to replace them I would. Just take a few days off if you're that mad, and check back to see that we have fixed everything

It is sorting itself out. Be patient. I'm not going to bail and leave you guys with wasted days. Look how I've been handling Spots. I've been fair and taken care of you guys. Just bear with me. Let the difficulty rise when we get more miners and things will be just fine.

[iGotSpots]

After you compile in linux what command line are you guys using to run ybcminer, I can't seem to get it to run.

I get "unrecognized option"


ybcminer --scrypt

and ybcminer --scrypt-jane

You have to enable scrypt when you run ./configure (see the build.txt files for a list)

Edit: That being said, I am not sure having more GPU miners on is a good idea ...

It would raise the difficulty enough to get rid of the orphans

[iGotSpots]

We are getting so many orphans because the hash rate is still too low. It was designed to support higher hash rates more efficiently. I was expecting more initial network power. Just chill. I promise it will work out

Actually I haven't lost anything yet ( I have always been on the correct chain, even with the bad nodes in the config). Just going by what others have mentioned (still seems to be forking). That is why I am bringing up a new client to check.

Just not a fan of needing 2-3 hours to sync a chain.

You could have just moved the chain files. I know you are checking for it to sync but in the future you can do that

I actually had non-orphaned copperbars that I mined before the forking started, but when I attempted to resync it failed at block 3705 and corrupted my wallet with ~0.6 copperbars.  Now, I'm worried about trying to resync my other machines.  I don't want to lose my other ~2.4 copperbars.

How many ounces of copper were going to be in each copperbar?

Those chains didn't re-merge, miners kept adding onto them and now you have two running neck and neck, with each right around 53K blocks as best as I can tell.




~BCX~

But everyone is hopping over to the correct chain. That's why the coins are disappearing. That should be done now

Copper is by the pound that's why we have super low rewards. Just rename it to wallet2.DAT before you do it

I'll try renaming the wallet and resyncing.  So, how many pounds of copper was 1 copperbar going to be worth?

[Carra23]

Anybody want to help me out? Deleted and synced the whole blockchain and now the balance reads 0 

Cc3qn2QhVgYrf7Utk1L212KYfWvyXjnYws

I have been mining and buying Spots in the early stages and it now really looks like a good deal. I am now dejected ending up with with 0 Copper Bars after having got in early.

Hoping it will be traded before we accept it, but if it's not on an exchange 7 days from now, I would probably do about 1 Bar per Pound, just to make good on my promise to accept it within a week. That's obviously a total hypothetical price, but the goal was to have it somewhere around there

[iGotSpots]

I'll hang with you, I lost 3.25 Copperbars or 509 blocks and generated right at 10500 orphans. While I'm mining this you're actually buying NAN some extra life

Lol, r3wt was sayin earlier in Cryptsy that you already killed it. "NAN dead from BitcoinExpress 51% attack" lol

Analysis

Strengths

• popular
• potentially gpu resistant
• dedicated dev
• can be traded for real world commodity(Copper)
• Scrypt Jane works great with Retarget.

Weaknesses

• Block Times to short
• No seednode, encourages forking
• poor launch

Solution

Relaunch with Seednode, er go making conf file useless for the purpose of finding nodes. build with upnp(like j-coin) to decrease network latency and time spent finding peers. this should limit forking. increase block times to atleast 20 seconds, with 30 seconds being preferrable. if these steps are taken, coin should have no more issues of forking(and therefore decrease or atleast minimize chainbloat due to orphans)

We already have everything he's listing except for the slower block times. This will turn out just fine, it's 16 seconds, not 2
