Why does the block explorer say the reward is 2410, but is paying out 2434 ?

Please check into this. Is the block reward reduction not working, or are the wrong values being reported to the block explorer, or... ?

If you are right, this is a problem... Lets wait updates from Jared for this. Thanks for pointing this out.

[halinyo]

that I've been clamoring for for some time now is mandatory identification as a block finder - either you identify yourself, or you don't mine.

Kinda of an absurd statement, not quite sure what the purpose would be, please elaborate.

I guess he means creating a transparent mining method for blockchain.
So you can query any IDs belonging to the miners and learn who they are etc.
But this is not quite possible to me... How can you make sure people are entering true information...
Maybe there are methods to query these things, but then it will be going through a centralized and government controlled mining scheme etc...

Cheers guys,...

Wait till you see my white paper. I have some of the issues, e.g., transparency, covered in my crypto-commodity venture.

This is one of the few threads I have on my Watchlist. Now that I'm caught up, back to work.

[snakey]

Well I believe the problem is "coinmarketcap" giving coins like ripple the exposure they want by adding them while real coins get pushed down further and further.

When people go to coinmarketcap they look at the top coins and decide which they should invest in not knowing that most of those coins are premined or dont require any mining compared to the few real coins available.

I blame coinmarketcap. In fact they do have an option to remove those fake coins (in my opinion) and show some real coins.

http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/views/filter-non-mineable-and-premined/

Digibyte is ranked #57 as you can see but I believe this should be the main page not the other with all the fake coins because its pushing new investors to the top marketcap coins which most are premined or no mining at all. Obviously this also pushes digibyte out of the top 100 and lower when more and more fake coins pop up with massive marketcaps.

Maybe we should all post this to coinmarketcap?

This is one of the few threads I have on my Watchlist. Now that I'm caught up, back to work.

I'm referring to mandatory identification of block finders only, not every miner. Each block found should be clearly associated with the miner who found it, exactly like we see with each block that the The Blocks Factory finds, for example. This would apply to pools and your one odd out solo miner still in existence (solo miners would only have to provide an IP address). This would go a long ways towards eliminating uncertainty regarding weird issues like the continual flow of phantom autosells on Cryptsy, as well as enhancing DGB's commitment to transparency. Again, this would only apply to entities actually finding blocks, of which there are only a few, who should identify themselves voluntarily to begin with one would think, and if not, then they should be required to do so.

Looking forward to seeing you white paper. Can't wait!

I think that's an excellent initiative! Not only would we be promoting DGB, and rightfully so, we would also be doing our small little parts to educate on the subject.

This is an excellent idea in my opinion. You can count on my help. Do you have any specific ideas on strategies and how to implement an effective campaign?

Funny to see that when you delist the premined / non-minable coins the page looks so much cleaner.

Isn't the point of these coins decentralized anonymity? I think the Devs have a commitment to transparency, but to ask miners to give out their details is tantamount to card-checking in US unions. Allows for potential harassment and threats because we know who is getting the blocks and if someone doesn't like what the miner is doing with them, they can pressure them to buy/sell/hold because its best for the "community". Sounds very close to "economic patriotism" touted by US liberals to get people scared to buy anything from outside the US.

I'm not sure I agree with identification of block finders. You can already search the blockchain and see the DGB address who found the block (Example: A list of the last 500 DGB block finder addresses can be found here), and you can also search the blockchain to view the transactions of that address to follow the 'coins' to see where they go.

I prefer the voluntary listing like it is now. One of the basic attributes of cryptocurrency is the pseudo-anonymity it provides. That shouldn't change.

I don't think I have ever seen comprehensive instructions on how to solomine a coin. I've found bits and pieces on several sites, but none that I could follow from start to finish and get the complete sequence.

Over the past few days, I decided to try it out just to see if I could get it working, and I did! If anyone else is curious about how to do it, here are the steps I followed:

(Assuming your wallet is running on a Windows computer.)

1. Shut down your wallet.

2. In the C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Roaming\DigiByte folder, add a file called DigiByte.conf that contains this:

Code:

rpcallowip=*
rpcuser=abc
rpcpassword=zzz
server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1
debug=1
algo=scrypt
rpcport=14022
port=12024
addnode=74.208.230.160
addnode=69.164.198.161
addnode=66.228.56.115
addnode=106.187.37.124

3. Right-click the shortcut icon of your wallet
   a. choose Properties
   b. click the Shortcut tab
   c. in the Target, add -server to the end. (Example: "C:\Program Files\DigiByte\digibyte-qt.exe" -server)

4. Launch your wallet. It may reindex your blockchain, this can take awhile. Wait until this is done.

5. Go into the console of your wallet and type this and hit Enter: setgenerate true -1

6. Your computer is now CPU mining. It's going to use about 100% of the CPU on your computer, so it's best to run the wallet on a computer that is different from your mining rig.

7. Make note of the IP address of the computer your wallet is running on. From the Command Prompt: ipconfig

Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection 2:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : your.internet.provider
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.3
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1


IP Address of the computer is 192.168.1.3

8. On your mining rig, point to 192.168.1.3:14022, username abc, password zzz

You are now solo mining! Depending on your mining program, you aren't going to see any activity until you find a block. But it is working. I have my wallet running on my Windows box, and my miner running on a Linux box. I pointed my linux miner to this and it worked.

There may be some other set of instructions out there that are better than this, but part of the fun for me was trying to figure out how to do it on my own from the bits and pieces I found on the internet.

Other Algos... In the digibyte.conf file, you should be able to change the algo= line to one of the other algorithms and mine, but I haven't tested that (yet).

Something I wrote a while, long while, back that might be worth adding to the collection (changing the coin specific options of course).

As far as transparency goes, I think that the writing is on the wall - has been from the beginning of legal tender - people want accountability, which is to say, traceable accounting. If I pay you with a check, the cancelled check is proof of having paid, for example. To make a long story very short, I think I can summarize my argument by saying that in order to compete for people's savings and investments long term, the digital currencies that survive will have to provide the same levels of transparency and privacy that have been demanded by savers and investors for centuries. There's no getting around that. Either you do it, or you stay very niche, very doge. It's an extremely important decision that will have to be made, or will be made for you, sooner or later, and the sooner the better. It's always best to be out in front of the curve, and the more you're out in front, the better.

Point 3 to this post: HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! I know it's going to be great for all of us!

I tend to agree, it would set a very dangerous precedent if it were mandatory and would change the entire landscape.

A lot of weird price manipulation at Bittrex. Someone keeps moving their buy orders from 11 to 13 and then taking them off. Not sure if they are attempting to trigger something or not. Is Cryptsy still having deposit issues?

Nice guide. Couple of things I'd add is that theres no need to add txindex=1 into your conf feel free to leave it out. If you leave it out there's also no need to -reindex.

In the conf rather than use rpcallowip=* which opens up your wallet to connections outside your network you are far better off using rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

127.0.0.1 always points to localhost so you can use that instead of looking up your IP address with ipconfig

So Conf would become

Code:

rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=abc
rpcpassword=zzz
server=1
daemon=1
debug=1
algo=scrypt
rpcport=14022
port=12024
addnode=74.208.230.160
addnode=69.164.198.161
addnode=66.228.56.115
addnode=106.187.37.124

and then your mining settings would be

Pool = 127.0.0.1:14022
username = abc
password = zzz
