Offerings to Cthulhu - 1.4 is Here! Now accepted at Coinworks.info

By the way, what's wrong with the mining pool http://blackpools.pw:3333/static/graphs.html?Day?

If you check the address QdXXBSJNcVYnjWm57KVL797typum4JZ5fe you'll see it's getting about half the reward of each block, but it hasn't got more hash power than the other individual miners (in fact, it has less than some). Has the pool been hacked or has its owner set a 50% donation of each block to his own Offering address? It's become in few days the third richest address of the blockchain (see http://off.cryptocoinexplorer.com/) and will soon be at the top.

Started mining with japool last night so that I could be one of the first to be devoured.

Hmm.  I think this is because I have the look back period set too far back.  It's accounting for shares back 144 hours.  This is the default for the p2pool-quarkcoin and my current setting for offerings.  Here is the relevant portion of the networks.py:

PARENT=networks.nets['offerings'],
        SHARE_PERIOD=15, # seconds
        NEW_SHARE_PERIOD=15, # seconds
        CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
        REAL_CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
        TARGET_LOOKBEHIND=50, # shares  //with that the pools share diff is adjusting faster, important if huge hashing power comes to the pool
        SPREAD=30, # blocks
        NEW_SPREAD=30, # blocks

I am going to test a shorter look back time and restart and avoid touching the data directory.  There doesn't appear to be anything nefarious going on.  I am not sure I can look at a history of hash rates but I think QdXXBSJNcVYnjWm57KVL797typum4JZ5fe had a significantly higher hash rate in the recent past.  This address/worker is still getting more work even though his or her hashrate has dropped, because of the lookback period.  The pool has 6-8 MH/s in the not too distant past but I am not quite sure how to see the history of worker hash rates.  This address isn't my own unfortunately.

[Monk3ynutz]

Adjusted and restarted.  I am not a p2pool expert, this is all a learning experience for me.  Theoretically the short term data will be more accurate now but I am not sure what the net effect of reducing lookback will have.

History of hash rates: http://blackpools.pw:3333/static/graphs.html?Month

That address has always received half of the block value or more with mediocre hash rates. It's really weird. Let's see if your changes make the rewards more fair.

[Monk3ynutz]

In addition to changes to the config, I just reset the data directory as an experiment.  Current accounting for shares are lost resetting the data of course.  I've sent each worker address 20 OFF, which hopefully offsets lost shares for my playing around.  Thank you for using my pool.

Ia! Ia! Ia!

BTW, fellow cultists, I have some selfclaimed virgins already sacrificed, twenty or so baby blood gallons, a nice purple tunic and an original copy of the neonomicon (couldn't find the Necronomicon in Silkroad). But after destroying comet ISON using my DIY laser gun, I havn't found any working nodes. Did I miss something? May I need sacrifice more virgins? Shall I destroy another comet?

OFF is a good coin. but it doesn't announced at the right time

why no body mine this coin?
this coin is dying?
where is the author?
where is the exchange site?

- Some people do mine it.

- Yep, it's dying (= difficulty going down). But it won't die soon. I've set up a microinstance at Amazon EC2 which will be mining this during the next 3 years. And in 3 years I could set up another to guarantee the network will be active. It's just $33.33/year and I like the coin.

- I don't know.

- There is no exchange. A sci-fi coin exchange was to be created for this and others but the project was scrapped. How would you convince an established exchange to add this coin?

[tangle]

I used to mine it. Now I'm switched to another coin because there is no exchange.
Author, get this coin to Cryptsy, Coins-E, Bter, whatever exchange you will be able to get it to.
The coin will get a second life.

What makes you think the Scifi exchange project has been scrapped?

Who runs this site? Maybe we can trade OFF there, that would be good for the coin
