@ Dreamwatcher

seem to be finding blocks but not getting paid for quite a while on the pool (12 hours at least) !  could you take a look when you get chance !  Thanks

Should be fixed. There should have been a massive payout.

This particular bug  comes up whenever there is a solved block with no shares (POS I am assuming in this case). The proportional payout cron goes into panic mode and will not process the payout on any blocks afterwards.
I basically have to go in and delete the "no-shares" block entry and the cron will then retro actively process everything.

I thought the developers had this fixed, I guess not. I will have to go in and write a bit of code to have the cron just ignore share-less blocks and not freak out...

Wait what... how long is the PoS time frame... 24 hours???

Where are the details of this coins PoS listed?

From what i gathered it's cloned from Yac so i assume it's the same in all respects with the PoS mining!

not 100% sure so maybe we could get clarification from Scifi or Dream

This was a topic of discussion in cryptsy chat the other night with one of the PoS coin devs and mullick, where they were hashing out the need for a much more micro timestamping for PoS coin blocks.

The problem is the same here, where a block essentially has exactly the same timestamp and thus either the DB or the client itself can't figure out what to do with it. In the case of the discussion in Cryptsy chat, it was about which would be orphaned if a PoW block and a PoS block minted at exactly the same time... the result was (and i believe they had to leave it at an assumption for the time being) that the PoS block is orphaned... and now we know why some of these PoS coins that have been having zero coin blocks found are doing so... first a round down bug for small coin blocks... and now a timestamp issue with these fast block time, low difficulty coins.

Can't reset my password at the pool and I am locked out  

when resetting today it said "Unable to send mail to your address"

now it says "Please check your mail account to finish your password reset"

but no email has been received!  I have checked the spam folder but nothing

I e-mailed you personally a few hours ago.

could you forward it on again please.  thanks

Since midnight last night EDT to now, I have found 304 blocks, of which 54 are orphans.

In the last couple of hours, I have ceased finding orphaned blocks.

I would have to say, we are definitely in stable territory now.

EDIT: we just hit block 56000 and approaching .05 difficulty.

The important question is, What would Jean Luc say to this sir?

We're heading toward Federation space at maximum warp. The crew has responded with the dedication I've come to expect of them. And like a thousand other commanders on a thousand other battlefields, I wait for the dawn.

Sounds about right...

Yes Indeed!  

Also would be good to see you try the pool again,  after solo for a while the pool seems more efficient now.  still finding blocks with ease!

Yes I have been keeping an eye on the pool... my solo generation rate is still good enough that I am not ready to break off yet... but I expect difficulty to hit .1 soon enough at which point, I would say the pool is going to be more profitable for a single GPU miner.

I have replaced the earlier CPU miner with the new CPU stratum scrypt-jane miner I put together.

https://github.com/Hartland/GPL-CPU-Miner

Again, I left the compiled daemon in the github, no guarantees it will work (Compiled on a Mint 15 KDE VM)

Compile instructions:

Code:

Basic *nix build instructions:
        ./autogen.sh    # only needed if building from git repo
        ./nomacro.pl    # only needed if building on Mac OS X or with Clang
        ./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
        make

Typical start up command:

./minerd -a scrypt-jane -o stratum+tcp://gplcoin.com:8888 -u <worker name> -p <password>

dreamwatcher,

If it isn't too much to ask, can you compile a Win 64 binary for this? I was having trouble compiling one myself from the first git...

Unfortunately, I do not think I have ever successfully cross compiled anything    . It is not due to any kind of OS bias (I do my development on a Linux VM hosted on a Windows 7 system), and for the longest time developed in VS2010 before switching completely over to Linux.

There are some instructions in the README file on compiling in Windows. Perhaps I should get set up to cross compile, though I almost exclusively deal with source. Perhaps one of the outstanding members of the Star Trek cryptocoin community would be willing to do a windows compile?

I am attempting to redo my MinGW libraries and try this again with the new source but not 64 bit as I am still on my old Win32 Win 7 install.

If I can get something that works, I will upload it ASAP and link it here.

If there is anyone else that can try to do this in 64 bit while I work on this, that would be great!

Looks like we have another 0 block

No payments coming through.  got a nice surprise last time when you updated it.  Hoping for another big payout again

Mind pasting the getmininginfo here so I can see where it sits? I do not have it downloaded.

This sounds quite interesting. I'll try mining some myself.

I can't seem to get the files for GPL (Google Drive can't find the file)...

I think some people will have moved away from it to Mine Latinum but as soon as the diff rises on latium miners will be back.

Just my 2 cents... but this is not the first person to have a 404 issue with your google docs links... and my suggestion... get a mega.co.uk free account.

When you link the mega URL... embed the tag in the URL open tag and put a generic name in between the tags... this fixes the broken link issue from the # in Mega URLs.

What speed of the GPL network?

[daemonfox]

What speed of the GPL network?

You can't REALLY tell because the getnethashrate RPC call was not built into this coin. All you can do is GUESS based off a calculation using difficulty, which will not be accurate until it levels off and difficulty reaches a plateau.
