my pool doesn't seem to be updating with my hashrate and shares. still says I'm at 0 mhashes, and I've already have shares + invalid shares

Difficulty retargets every block (exponentially) based on last 160 blocks

Can you explain this retarget?
Thanks

I'd imagine it's like this:
Block 1 took 2 seconds to find
Block 2 took 3 seconds to find
Block 3 took 4 seconds to find
Total: 9 seconds/3 blocks = average of 3 seconds. Retarget would be based on that (with 160 blocks instead of 3, obviously)

Current diff update: 36

Another P2Pool you up:

Use your XJO Address as username and anything as password.

Independent by the network haspower???
So diff can only growth???

it takes average hashrate in last 10 minutes and cron is running every minute... all stats are slightly delayed

No....
The block target is 45 seconds. If they average is below 45 seconds, the difficulty will rise. If it is above 45 seconds, it will go lower. Right now, it is very fast, so it will rise until the time between finding blocks is 45 seconds.

Understand!

Your github README still links to the Zetacoin thread...

What does this coin do differently?

Joulecoin generates the bulk of its coins over a much longer period than Zetacoin, more similar to Bitcoin and Litecoin. Reward halving occurs every 2 years and only ~45 million coins will be mined. It also retargets difficulty on every block.

Thanks, Readme file updated to point to this forum.

Have compiled the client successfully, but can't get it to run. It seems to be wanting to use the home directory for the current user (which actually does not exist, on purpose) rather than the correct path specified on the commandline via -datadir=xxx

This is the 25th altcoin client I have compiled in recent weeks, have not seen this problem before. Any ideas?

Code:

$ /nas01/coins/joulecoin/joulecoind -datadir=/nas01/coins/joulecoin/ -proxy=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1080 -maxconnections=16 -noirc
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::filesystem::filesystem_error'
  what():  boost::filesystem::create_directories: Permission denied: "/nonexistent"
Abort trap (core dumped)

edit: this seems to be the section of code that is causing the issue. For some reason the "-datadir" arg doesn't seem to be recognised, so the path is set to the default (which under *nix is the home dir)

Code:

    if (mapArgs.count("-datadir")) {
        path = fs::system_complete(mapArgs["-datadir"]);
        if (!fs::is_directory(path)) {
            path = "";
            return path;
        }
    } else {
        path = GetDefaultDataDir();
    }

Shot in the dark, probably won't help:
Try -datadir=.

[miffman]

my XJO per day dropped from 120 to 8  lol

[almightyruler]

Shot in the dark, probably won't help:
Try -datadir=.

Same result unfortunately, it ignores the -datadir commandline parameter and tries to use the default home dir.

I've been looking at the source to try to figure out why, but I'm not familiar enough with C++ or boost.

Every other alt client uses the exact same commandline format with no problems.

mined 420 xjc with 2 gh.now hope it goes up to 0.001

feeleep: Cannot set up workers on your pool. It just boots me back to the homepage and makes me logged out. I'm using Chrome 29.0.1547.76 on Win8.

P.S. What domain registar and hosting provider do you use that allows you to set up so many pools?

I have no clue, then. I just compiled it on a couple ubuntu machines and ran with -datadir=.

Code:

ubuntu:~/joulecoin/src$ ./joulecoind -datadir=. getinfo

    "protocolversion" : 70001,

when can we withdraw from the pool?

[TheSpiral]

when can we withdraw from the pool?

Whenever you want.
I've had 1 manual payout and 3 automatic payouts.

I just realized why I couldn't. Stupid me

and I thought it used mechanical work as POW - the coin where you had to constantly re-arrange the furniture around you house to mint coins
