[ANN] microCoin MRC - alcurEX - Scrypt-Jane - nFactor

[QQ]

I made this in a couple of minutes as a cleaner version of the current logo, while trying (and failing) to compile an OSX wallet. Was gonna use it as a splash. I agree that in the long run the coin needs a better logo, maybe using the µ symbol as someone suggested a while back? Since it means micro anyway and it's (relatively) easy to actually type and use. In any case the website and general image should look professional and inspire trust, you want to differentiate it from all the crap coins, right? I already offered MCR my help with this part if he wants it, very curious to see where the site goes.

Back to the OSX wallet, it seems the ASM part in scrypt-x86_64.S is crashing the build. I'm not a coder and am not that much use in debugging but i tried to find any novacoin osx wallet to check how they solved this, to no avail. nor disabling the SSE instructions, as someone suggested for yacoin.

just me, or are we downfactored again?

just me, or are we downfactored again?

And pretty hard... like 25% or more?

UPD  OMG recalculated, its like 40% downgrade

Ouch, that new N-factor really hurts. Just 2,5 Mh/s left of my 5 Mh's.

But, I'm glad the block rewards are increasing .

5,2 to 3,4 here so i expect the next N-FACTOR-HAMMER will hit us even harder.

So anyone here with R9 290 that had on the beginning 7mh/s then down to 5,3mh/s   and now is down to what ?? 3,4??

3.21 MH/s with R9 280x now 

[blacklig]

I cant complain..
been slow on 7950s and now I am even slower

Yes, exactly same here, a litte bit higher with wide open windows and very cool air flowing in :-)

Microcoin gambling game released at cointography.com!

It's a very simple game, guess the correct number and win the prize!

There are full instructions on the bottom of the game page and if you have any other questions, please let me know!

Good luck everyone

The Nfactor is kicking in way to fast, we'll never make it to block 160k at this rate. Can they make adjustments or would they have to fork the chain to change things like Nfactor or block rewards?

 The wallet can't run with Win7 64bit??

[Nanolucas]

Works fine for me on Win 7 64 bit.

Also I don't think there'd be any way to change the difficulty/rewards/nfactoring without forking it.

Is it really such a big issue? It was outlined from the start how it would ramp up over 1-2 weeks.

The only issue is that there are only a hand full of us that are really supporting the coin right now and we are the ones that are going to burn a lot of electricity pushing the network to the higher rewards, what is going to suck is that other ppl are just going to wait for the high rewards and then start mining when we hit block 160k. If this is the case then I'd rather have the coin have a fixed reward right now. I'm sure I'm not the only one tht feels this way

Why would people wait for block 160k which is when the rewards start dropping?

If everyone is currently GPU mining and gaining x blocks per y time, then the nFactor makes it harder, everyone would drop by the same amount and should be mining the exact same amount of blocks relative to what they were before the hashpower drop.

Am I misunderstanding this? If hashpower drops across the board, so does difficulty, that's the whole point.

I've been mining blocks with the same frequency today as I was yesterday.

[Del137]

So, isnt that was idea about fair mining rewards. Same average amount per day during all the time, yes?

UPD according my 2 days calulations reward after second downgrading Nfactor lowers on 30% also..

Well I was expecting this coin to blow up by the time we hit the higher blocks lol
but I know what you mean its not like we're mining much less after the drop in hash but what if the drops occur more often and rapidly then our progression through the blocks?

That still won't make any difference because the difficulty will always retarget to match the hashrate so that the target time of 1 block every 32 seconds is always [roughly] met.

The main post doesn't mention how often difficulty retargets, but if it's every block then we certainly would never have to worry and it means we'd reach block 160,000 at the same time regardless of whether there are 5 people mining or 5 million.

[Mr.V]

well hopefully this coin blows up before the high blocks anyway, I'll mine less but at least we'll have network support

I think 280x and 290x both stop working at nfactor 13.  Not sure what the nfactor schedule is for MRC.  You might wake up and find it's turned to CPU only if you don't mine now.
