+1  . But no, seriously stop mining GPUs you could make so much more w/ scrypt.

This coin has no future. Too bad. Why isn't the dev responding anymore?

[surfer43]

Other people need to become the devs.

So I tried the approach by reorder, but I still stuck with embedding the skeinmidhash-function in python:
 I found all the flakes needed for the lib that includes the skeinmidhash-function, I could compile the lib and I can access the function via python.
But I have no glue how to the access the output of the skeinhashmid function in python, like it has been defined in former posts by reorder.


So my question to you reorder is:

Can you give me/us please some more hinds how to embed your functions into python using your ctypes wrapper.

I think it would be very helpful for this coin to have a working  and easier accessible gpu implementation, because this would lift the interest for a broader spectrum of people.

hey if anyone wants to sell 20 k skc for 1.5 ltc contact me , i'll give you my btc-e name and we'll figure something out . get screw or whatever .

I am not sure what kind of glue do you mean, perhaps this piece?

Code:

import ctypes

_shlib = ctypes.CDLL('../skeinhash/skeinhash.so')

def skeinhashmid(msg):
    msgb = ctypes.create_string_buffer(msg[:64])
    hashb = ctypes.create_string_buffer(64)
    _shlib.skeinhashmid(hashb, msgb, 64)
    return hashb.raw

def skeinhash(msg):
    msgb = ctypes.create_string_buffer(msg)
    hashb = ctypes.create_string_buffer(32)
    _shlib.skeinhash(hashb, msgb, len(msg))
    return hashb.raw

Besides, if anyone has skill and time to clean up and release the miner, please PM, I will give it away. Things to clean up are: update licensing/copyright texts, remove dead code, reimplement ntime-rolling (currently disabled), replace skeinhash with pure python implementation.

I am looking for 30k Skeincoin, will pay 5 LTC or 0.2 BTC . If you have smaller amounts please PM me.

[surfer43]

It appears no one will sell below 0.0001 BTC per SKC for now.  
Selling 1K SKC for 1 BTC.  
Reorder: wait until I get a psu for my graphics card please  

[surfer43]

skc.coinmine.pl (and coinmine.pl) down  . Still mining to them at full speed  
back on

Yes, that's exactly what I was searching for, Thanks! ... A new piece in the puzzle ...

this coin is fascinating

does someone have a hashrate/difficulty chart of this coin?

[surfer43]

does someone have a hashrate/difficulty chart of this coin?

Opening 3 days: skyrocket to 15 diff. Then it dwindled down to 2-6, where it is now. In the last 6 hours, its gone from 4 to 5.2

[yabit]

The option

-datadir="my own directory"

does not work (has no effect). Plz fix it!!!!!

is solo mining on a CPU profitable right now?

[surfer43]

is solo mining on a CPU profitable right now?

About to ask that. It depends. I haven't found a block solo but I have been the block finder in a pool. I'm solo mining right now to try and get a block. I would recomend skc.coinmine.pl though unless you have a good cpu. A few people have GPUs working right now, and reorder is about to release a GPU miner. And SKC has no value right now because its not on exchanges...
