I have a lot of ORPHANS. 50% and may be more.What is wrong ?
Thanks.

I think its the ASIC miner they just out build the block chain quicker than our slow old CPU can, so they win the race when there are two contenders for the block chain.
If its any consolation I have thousands of coins with from the time when the ASIC minner started with
Status: 0/unconfirmed, not in memory pool

I dont know what happened

I've been doing a lot of reading and simple tests.  I have decided the current block chain will be killed.  Or at least no longer supported by me.  If you're using v0.15.2 please stop mining, it was highjacked during an experiment.  Download links from the website will also removed.

I am not giving up on ROBO, and my sincere apologies for any time wasted (even to the asic person).  But in order for me to come up with a better PoW scheduling I need some time on a good "testnet" that can be wiped clean at any given time.

Some of the alternate algo's look good, and after experimenting with basic fixed time throttling + adding new data to blocks + network validation... It appears as if swapping the algo would actually be alot easier to do.

I appreciate everybody's patience with this.

But what exactly are you looking for? a mineable currency by cpu?

[kostepanych2]

There is no working pool yet?

[sarge21]

May be some pool for miners or only solo mining is in future?

I have been giving this some thought, as it is an interesting puzzle, and I’m going to declare up front that I’m a HW eng and my knowledge on bitcoin and networking is very very basic, so be gentle.
 
Whatever code is in (or in this case missing from) the wallet to restrict ASIC miners locally can ALWAYS be removed or added back in.
What they cannot change is code in the wallet of the others on the network, so this is where any fixes need to be.
 
I also don’t think using wallet addresses or any other parameter under control of the ASIC miner as these can be rotated or tweaked.
 
My suggestion is to use the IP address (including port number) as the identifier for regulating the rate at which new mined hashes are recorded on the block chain. The other connected wallets will only accept mined hashes from the same IP address only after a fixed period of time. This period between accepting new mined hash codes would be set to a multiple (say 6 times) that which could be expected from a 10 core CPU for the current difficulty level.  I have observed that wallets never seem to connect to more than a fraction of the complete network, and I assume that they broadcast their mining results to everyone they sre connected to simultaneously (to minimise the time taken to get it confirmed), so the network loading is low. This would give time for other to submit their mining results, and make high hash rates pointless.
Another important feature is to refuse mining results for the hold of period when a new wallet first connects to a wallet. This stops ASIC farms cycling around wallets, and no real CPU user will have a result that quickly.

I like the spirit of the dev and I expect this has all turned into a lot more work than you wanted, it’s an interesting coin, it’s obviously not just a pump and dump exercise which makes it fun and interesting.

damn
another week mining air.
ahahahh cya so.

Dev i like the project. Try to rebuild it I am not programmer ,but if needed make a fork and change wallets or what ever I hope this will not die. ROBO is good looking easy for mining.Today i upgraded my CPU just for ROBO.GOOD LUCK !

[darkwolfultima]

too bad it came to this, I like the ideals on this coin. They are the original ideals Bitcoin tried to instill, not the get rich scheme cryptocurrency has turned into.

if you are looking for anti-asic code, you can try what cpuminer-opt does with hardware checks.

it uses Opcodes to verify whether you are running and AMD or Intel CPU. Now it was designed as a sanity check, should be able to turn it into a security mechanism.

You can also try a hard thread lock, like 16 or so, so thats even with an asic it can't use its full potential.

And of course with this being open source it could be ripped out by the asic miners, but its worth a shot.

To all the asic miners, I hope you get hit by a bus.

I am a security analyst by day, so I have several ideas I can send you in private. that way its not exposed to all the asic miners watching.

Wait for a new start

[stanleybg]

Any news ?

[senbojiaju]

Is there any new news

[spacelab]

What Acik do you prefer more) and what will you suggest to buy if you have unlimited amount of money and free energy! I need help its not a joke!

[stanleybg]

You mean Asic. Sorry no experience in Asics.

[Foxnotdie]

Dead?

[minerja]

Hi,

Anyone got any connections today?
Dev gone?
Site down?
hmm
J

I have 5 conections

I have 5 conections

With new wallet?
