[ANN] [SHA256]+[CPU] MediterraneanCoin (MED) - REUSE your ERUPTER!!

[smallplatf]

Updated Windows build of MediterraneanCoin wallet and daemon which use OpenSSL version 1.0.1g, not affected by the heartbleed (http://heartbleed.com/) OpenSSL bug:
https://github.com/mrtexaznl/mediterraneancoin/releases/download/v0.8.6.3-mark3-1/medcoin-win32-v0.8.6.3-mark3-1.zip

Linux build (as before, not affected by heartbleed OpenSSL bug):
https://github.com/mrtexaznl/mediterraneancoin/releases/download/v0.8.6.3-mark3-1/medcoin-linux-v0.8.6.3-mark3-1.tgz

Mediterraneancoin (MED) is a derivative of Bitcoin/Litecoin using a new proof-of-work algorithm called HybridScryptHash256.
The new Proof of Work algorithm HybridScryptHash256 is described in detail here: http://www.mediterraneancoin.org/hybridscrypthash256.pdf

HybridScryptHash256 integrates the best of Hash256 and Scrypt algorithms, allowing the reuse of the less powerful ASIC Block Erupter devices.

HybridScryptHash256 allows all the users of erupters and similar small ASIC devices to mine an altcoin without having "whales" coming and disrupt mining.

Second generation modified bfgminer (with integrated mcproxy functionalities, all in one)

Source code for second generation modified bfgminer: https://github.com/mrtexaznl/bfgminer,

Linux users: git checkout from  https://github.com/mrtexaznl/bfgminer, switch to branch bfgminer and build as usual.
If you need help or want a binary for Ubuntu 12.04, drop a line in the forum.

Download Windows binaries for second generation modified bfgminer (with integrated mcproxy functionalities), works with mining pools with stratum procotol.
https://github.com/mrtexaznl/bfgminer/releases/download/v3.9.0.3-med/win32-bfgminer-2.zip





New mcproxy (called mcproxy3) with improved multithreading support

mcproxy3 is needed with first generation of bfgminer/cgminer, which you can find here:
http://www.mediterraneancoin.org/downloads/win32-cgminer-mediterraneancoin.zip
https://github.com/mrtexaznl/bfgminer/releases/download/v3.9.0.1-med/win32-bfgminer-1.zip

Source code: https://github.com/mrtexaznl/mcproxy/tree/master/mcproxy3, you can find it in the same repo of mcproxy (https://github.com/mrtexaznl/mcproxy)

direct link for downloading the binaries: http://www.mediterraneancoin.org/downloads/mcproxy3-dist.zip

Use in this way (if you stay in the same directory containing mcproxy3.jar: )
java -jar mcproxy3.jar

additional parameters:
-t: min delta time is the starting value for the mininum time distance between two successive getwork requests to the wallet.

-m: mininum queue length is the minimum number of getworks, elaborated with stage 1 of PoW, which mcproxy tries to keep in the queue, so that they are ready to be sent to the miners requesting them.




The tutorial for solo mining Mediterraneancoin on Windows is here!



IMPORTANT NOTE: when mining (solo or pool), you will need:
1 - the wallet (or daemon)
2 - mcproxy (an intermediate application which implements a part of the PoW algorithm) [mcproxy in included in the wallet binaries archives]
3 - the modified miner (cgminer or bfgminer)

see the tutorial here http://www.mediterraneancoin.org/#tutorial and/or post on the forum for support!

addnode

add the following lines to mediterraneancoin.conf:

addnode=node1.mediterraneancoin.org
addnode=node2.mediterraneancoin.org
addnode=node3.mediterraneancoin.org
addnode=node4.mediterraneancoin.org
addnode=node5.mediterraneancoin.org

***

Download of a snapshot of the blockchain (2014-02-19):

www.mediterraneancoin.org/downloads/med-blockchain-20140219.tgz 33 MB

ATTENTION: when restarted, the daemon will do a rescan of the blockchain, which might take a few hours on slower machines.
Add a "rescan=0" option to your mediterraneancoin.conf configuration file to skip rescan.

instructions:
1 - stop the wallet (or the daemon) if is not running
2 - backup your wallet.dat file [this operation will not touch wallet.dat but it is always safe to make a backup of your wallet]
3 - inside .mediterraneancoin directory remove the previous blocks and chainstate directories
4 - uncompress the content of the archive inside .mediterraneancoin directory
5 - restart the wallet (or the daemon)
6 - wait for the wallet/daemon to complete the block rescan (might take hours!)

[virtualdn]

is this launched?

[smallplatf]

yes, it is launched!

[FreePls]

nice site, really full of detail and good explained, and great idea

too bad i don't have any asci erupter

[virtualdn]

does it work with cpu mining as well?

[minerva]

looks legit

[shai_]

looks legit

java?

[cshelswell]

interesting - might give this a go

[smallplatf]

the idea is to use ASIC erupter (or similar small device) + CPU.

thus, CPU only is possible in theory but in practice not.


it would be possible to use a GPU + CPU, for that we need to patch bfgminer (which still supports GPU), while cgminer does not not support GPU anymore.

But still, an ASIC erupter is more convenient than a GPU.

No nodes i don't sync the wallet nice name, im from bcn and i like medditerranean

need nodes to sync wallet and solo mining..

you can find cheap ASIC erupters on ebay. they cost 20-30$

difficulty" : 0.01562500  ......... LOL

Sorry im noob i don't understand who mine solo with my cpu or gpu if the wallet dosen't sync.. using windows

there are currently a few active nodes, but several people are syncing their block chains right now, so it could take a few minutes for a new wallet to be ready for mining.

don't sync im waiting 30 minutes the wallet says 2 weeks agoo

Does BlueFury work for mining this coin? Or I need to use Erupter?

[smallplatf]

Does BlueFury work for mining this coin? Or I need to use Erupter?

yes, BlueFury should work as well; but you need the modified cgminer.

[Mrjitter]

when the currency will be ready to play ? not nodes , not working for now
