[ANN] [GLB]Globe – One Currency for One Globe - Polished and Ready for Action

For your information, I read the source code, and find the re-target interval.

If the block height is less than 28335, the re-target interval is 2016.
If the block height is greater than 28335, the re-target interval is 9.

As we are on the block#28381 now, so I think current re-target interval is 9.

And this is a very good news.............

Sarcasm ?

What do you mean? By the way, can you confirm that the re-target interval is 9 after 28335?

main.cpp: 1278

bool fUseFilter =
   (fTestNet && pindexLast->nHeight>=(DIFF_FILTER_THRESHOLD_TESTNET-1)) ||
   (!fTestNet && pindexLast->nHeight>=(DIFF_FILTER_THRESHOLD-1));

     int64 nInterval       = nFilteredInterval;
     int64 nTargetTimespan = nFilteredTargetTimespan;
     if ( !fUseFilter ) {
         nInterval       = nOriginalInterval;
         nTargetTimespan = nOriginalTargetTimespan;
     }

No man, if bcfanminer is right, your coin is safe.
If block was <  28335 (ex 21500) globe was death

Where did you get the 28335 from?

[bcfanminer]

main.h:66:static const int DIFF_FILTER_THRESHOLD         = 28336;


We are lucky because Freicoin changed their original difficulty adjustment algorithm.
Check this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202250.0

As GLB is a fork of Freicoin, we are also benefit their change.

BTW, they changed the algorithm because same issue as us in the early time of Freicoin.

Ok fingers crossed. I think we might be in the clear.

Also what is the nFilteredTargetTimespan ?

[bcfanminer]

Every 9 blocks, the difficulty will decrease by approximately 5%.

It means that after 387 (43*9) blocks, the difficulty will be 10%.


main.cpp:1203   static const int64 nFilteredTargetTimespan = nFilteredInterval * nTargetSpacing; // 1.5 hrs

nFilteredInterval is 9.
nTargetSpacing is 60.

[sphere]

okay hopefully we will get some blocks and the difficulty will be reduced

For the pool, you might contact Marty19 to see whether he is interested with our coin.

His info: https://cryptocointalk.com/user/630-marty19/

The pool: http://ispace.co.uk/
It's not very stable, but it should be very easy for them to add GLB to their SHA-256 pool.

By the way, his computing power is at least 2,000 Ghash/s.

This issue is common nowadays due to large deployment of ASICs. Another way to overcome this is to make a hard-fork if we can not make the coin recover in several days.

Wow Ok will get in touch see if he is interested. A pool will be a good way of making sure things like this don't happen in the future.

Wanna to know how long it will take to solve a block for solo mining?

python -c "diff=38000; gb=1; print diff * 2**32 / gb / 10**9 / 60 / 60.0;"
(credit: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty#How_soon_might_I_expect_to_generate_a_block.3F)
Replace diff by your difficult, and replace gb by your hash power in GHash/s.

In our case, the
1 GHash/s power can solve a block in 45 hours.
10 GHash/s power can solve a block in 4.5 hours.
...

Nice.


We got one more block. Hopefully, we are one step closer.

diff has dropped slightly to  35672.23 but why is it still so high?

Ok I think that person(s) was mining again because block count is higher than normal. Is there a way we can cut out such a person from the network ?

[bcfanminer]

There is no way to cut this person off the network, because there might be many these persons.
This issue is normal for all new coins that has only a small community.
If we have, e.g., 100 miners, then the problem will happen less frequently.
More miners, more secure.

[bcfanminer]

Well, I don't think that miner come again.
I read your code again and find that the upper bound of the percentage in reducing the difficulty is 5%. But actually, your code (copied from Freicoin) has a complicated mechamism to calculate the difficulty. And it didn't reach the upper bound, i.e., 5%, but it hit the 1%.
It means that we need 621 (69*9) blocks to get it going down to 50%, i.e., 19000.
Again, we need to pool.

[bcfanminer]

Now it seems decreasing the difficulty at 5% speed.

[sphere]

I will pm some pool operators.

Thanks
