[ANN][BLC] Blakecoin Blake-256 for GPU/FPGA With Merged Mined Pools Stable Net

[maxsolnc]

Difficulty 7100 and continues climbing 

[meta.p02]

-.- mined one block, but later found out that the client hadn't updated its blocks since 2 hours ago...

Seems that block generating time is stabilizing, mining becomes very hard. Time to buy\sell? 

[Spayse]

WE NEED a   POOL !

Yes, this is a good coin, hope will be on the platform soon.

Maybe 1000BLC=1btc or 500BLC=1btc

no reason why 1 BLC = 1 BTC 

I was looking at the code last night and I am going to reduce the adjustment up step further, currently it is jumping 15% up and I think a change to 3% up might be more practical and I have also tested 3% during dev tests so I know its not going to have undesired effects, this will not effect the overall difficulty only make it slower to rise which is what we all want?

I see no problem with the actual difficulty it is fairly stable and is adjusting well with the fluctuation in hashing power 

I was also looking at p2pool last night to at least give a distributed pool to the community and hope to have that ready for weekend which might delay the block chain explorer a bit but is much needed atm   

The Linux build issues should be fixed on Github but not had a chance to test so please report if you are still getting issues with leveldb

restart your wallet if it gets stuck?

I have 12 blocks in 30 hours on Core i 7 3820.
10600 Kh\s.

[Adrenalin]

Is this a bug or what, that i have to restart blakecoin wallet few times a day, or else i mine blocks that are generated but not accepted....

[dr_chen]

1000BLC=1btc

or

1000BLC=250XPM

anyone want to exchange?

A question on the difficulty ...

pi@tvpi ~/blakecoin $ ./blakecoind getblockhash 0
000000ba5cae4648b1a2b823f84cc3424e5d96d7234b39c6bb42800b2c7639be
pi@tvpi ~/blakecoin $ ./blakecoind getblockhash 100

pi@tvpi ~/blakecoin $ ./blakecoind getblockhash 1000
0000000367d9064a7e537994e6808645d5877aadb84cb01ecd3a0678537e6827
pi@tvpi ~/blakecoin $ ./blakecoind getblockhash 2500
00000000041a372adf4c7bf72cf82e4c47a8e101e11d98d0677c8f73c4cb9c9e
pi@tvpi ~/blakecoin $

These blocks report difficulty as 1.0 (genesis block), 2.0 (block 100), 74 (block 1000) and 6668 (block 2500).
But the hashes for the first two are only prefixed "000000" rather than the "00000000" for bitcoin or "0000" for litecoin, so I guess the reference target for diff=1 is something like 0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff000000 ? Perhaps this goes some way to explaining the rapid difficulty increase?

Anyway in other news I've made a start on the FPGA miner. Not got it running yet, but its already apparent that the midstate optimisation applies to the blake algorithm. This should also work for the CPU/GPU mining code (I don't see it in the current cpuminer, so that's an easy 100% performance boost for anyone who wants to give it a try).

[BlueDragon747]

New version released please upgrade or rebuild your wallets

• fixed some bugs
• added more checkpoints
• tweaked the limit up(takes effect block 3500 onwards)

any other bugs please report them asap

that's good news kramble I will look into midstate optimisation today

It's that normal speed with AMD FX-8150?

In the first post I see examples of CPU speed, but that speed is 7-8 times faster.

can you run minerd with benchmark option? (see first post)

have you made any changes to the miner?
what os are you running and did you compile from source or prebuild?

if you can confirm with benchmark I will add as fastest miner so far 

[Aalesund]

benchmark

I have not changed anything except that I added a little more threads with "-t" option, I use the original minerd from 1st post.
I'm surprised I did not expect such a result

very nice what is the command you are using in console?
