[ANN] Zettelkasten - ZTTL, New Algo: BurgerHash V6 🍔, CPU-SOLO-mineable

[minerja]

block 100k is in ca 25 days (+/-)

Thats a long long time away with the current hashrate...

I don't think so, time flies, 3 weeks will pass in no time!

Also, I'm certainly not going to rush an important adjustment like a hash algo improvement.
Many things can go wrong here if I don't do a thorough job.

Anyway, testing of new algo is progressing and will be released at around blockheight 80k.

This is BTW the recurring hash algo schedule that I want to follow (but I'm still speculating, not 100% sure it will be exactly like this):

1) A new hash algo update exactly every 100k blocks
2) Release of new binaries/source around 20k blocks earlier than each update
3) Each update will add complexity but shall not be allowed to drop the hash rate more than 20%

That's the current state!
So, happy mining!

Now thats what i like !
A dev with a plan.
You are few and far between.
With someone like you running this coin, this could be a very good project indeed.

Thank you for the update on how the algo might see future upgrades but you got me confused on that :p

I have decided to place it at exactly block height 100'000

Anyway, testing of new algo is progressing and will be released at around blockheight 80k.

1) A new hash algo update that kicks in at exactly every 100k blocks

so will it be
80k, 180k, 280k [...] ?
or
100k, 200k, 300k [...] ?

the

100k, 200k, 300k, ...

means at which exact blockheight a new improved algo kicks in and causes a fork for those guys who haven't updated their wallet. (they'll be mining on the wrong chain)

And at "around"

80k, 180k, 280k, .... (20k earlier)

I will be releasing each new wallet, so that people are prepared for the fork.

(20k blocks is more or less exactly 2 weeks time.)

I will also add a feature in each wallet from now on, that will warn you with signalization that you need to check for update on the official github/website

Nice to see that much developement for zettel

I wish i could mine it again, but with a network hashrate of 170 MH/s its not really profitable (6 cores, 150 KH/s). I got the last Block a week ago (02/05/2018) and just wasting my hashpower atm here. Please, someone set up a pool

Your chances are still good to find 1 block a day on average.
Is your mining-wallet running as full node with more than just the usual 8 connections?

It will help reduce orphans.
Because the worst situation a guy like you can be in, is to find a block and see it vanish away as an orphan...  

See that you have 50 connections open at least.

Have 8 connections, no orphans, just no blocks found

How to set more than 8 connections? I have 3 ubuntu mining machines and getinfo says they all have 8 connections.

Only 1 computer in the local network can be exposed.

You need to access your router and forward port 51339 to the local computer you want to turn into a full node.

I've forwarded port 51339 on one system and did an "addnode" from a second system to that first system.  First now has 27 connections and second remains at 8.

Looks good

The best setup is to do it exactly as you have done:

1 full node, and all other local computer are directly added to it through addnode.

There is also a Slack channel, for those who prefer it over discord:

https://join.slack.com/t/zetteltalk/shared_invite/enQtMzYxMTg4MjE2MjI2LTM5Y2U4N2NhMWI0ZjAxMWZkNDE5MDg5YmVlM2YwZWQyNmFjZTBjZTU2OTMxYmYxOTc4N2YzOTUzNjBhNDYzZjc

I'll be showing up at both Slack and Discord from time to time,
enjoy.

Is there any parameter how to run the wallet which automatically starts mining with defined number of threads? I think I would be useful, at least for me, I could put the command in Startup on windows.

[minerja]

Is there any parameter how to run the wallet which automatically starts mining with defined number of threads? I think I would be useful, at least for me, I could put the command in Startup on windows.

In all wallets there is usually option to start wallet with windows (settings - options)

Then if you don't have one, create a zettelkasten.conf (C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming - might have to show hidden files)
and add

gen=1
genproclimit=4 (no. of threads)

When you start windows the wallet is set to startup, and the above commands will make it mine using 4 threads

Hope this help

Great idea.
Will this hamper the GPU miners, if there are any, by causing them to re-write there mining software each time an algo update is made.
I guess we will have to on our toes not to miss the algo chain.

[zettelkasten]

Great idea.
Will this hamper the GPU miners...

Not really.

It depends on our success.

The main reason I'm doing these algo updates is to extend the cheap and fair mining period as far as possible into the future.
Everyone can decently mine ZETTEL right now, no need for initial hardware investments, no high electricity bill. And this should prevail even if we reach 1 GH/s net hash rate.
(even then you'll be able to find 1 block a week using an average CPU)

But should a time come where ZETTEL is on one or more exchanges with a decent price and corresponding hash rate, it may very well be that by then we'll have attracted our own resident GPU devs who will probably be able to invest a lot of their time coding new miners.

But even then, the question arises: will they drop their GPU miners for everyone to use, or use them themselves? Or will they sell it?
Will the GPU-community be ready to pay large amounts of money to hire a GPU dev? Over and over again?

Hmmmmm....

Most GPU devs I know are living like nomads, they are moving where profit can be made, often releasing one single GPU miner that is then used forever by the community, with no further updates since no other GPU will ever want to invest time again. They maybe do optimizations and performance improvements... but a complete rewrite of the hash algo? I think they will hate that because it might break their optimizations too....

Crypto moves fast, maybe if we keep up with its step we can outrun the GPU-horde, or - as is my stated goal - extend the fair and cheap CPU-mining phase as far as possible into the future, since this is very essential to the further success of the coin.

I guess we will have to on our toes not to miss the algo chain.

As a CPU-miner all you have to do is just update the wallet early enough. And the wallet itself will inform you about upcoming changes.
So there can't really be any mistakes.
But yes, if you - for whatever reason - fail to update the wallet, you'll be mining on the wrong chain.

Hi developer I tried to contact you a few days ago and I missed your response I'm trying to fix my wallet it won't open it says (insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service) I have Windows 10 and 12 GB of RAM and it's been mining for over a 2 months and I just can't get it to open anymore I tried saving my wallet. Dat and my peers. Dat and reinstalling the wallet and I still haven't had any success and I've also increase my virtual memory.Thanks

[wildraven01]

when are you going to release the 64bit windows wallet ?

Did you try to run the wallet as administrator?

Maybe also set another directory as blockchain directory by using the

-datadir

parameter.

Try a folder on your desktop.

Anyone else having these problems?
