I have never had any wallet sync issues since coin inception...  but today I am stuck at 7 hours behind    I've only really noticed as I bought a substantial amount on Mintpal and although they've turned up, they are stuck at Pending.

Client reports it has 8 active connections...    any ideas?

Yea thats one of the problems being addressed, is the blocks getting stuck for hours or a day sometimes.. has been doing this for a while. It's a digishield issue.

Jared,
 Can you provide an update as to where the multi algo and block fix is?

Kind Regards,

Is there currently a WORKING DigiByte pool? I would love to mine a few while waiting on the multi-algo release...

We just updated the DGB wesbite & first page of this thread. It appears some pools as well as exchanges have went down. Please let us know if we missed anything or need to add additional information. We want the thread & site to be up to date. We are now updating the Reddit thread.

We are working on putting the finishing touches on it. We are shooting for Thursday.

As to the non syncing issue. It is normal when it has been a few hours between blocks. This will be cleared up with the update. Your wallet is still talking to the network.

[DigiByte]

I thought HR suggested a more distributed payout based on each algo. Not sure which way Jared and team are going yet.

YC

That's right, basically because the "adjusted difficulties" don't even come close to getting the job done, as I see it anyway.

Here's that post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=408268.msg7954541#msg7954541 (The only thing that wasn't adapted to DGB was the total block reward figures, but the rough percentage breakdowns between algo rewards would basically be the same.)


Here's something else - completely unrelated - that's perhaps easier on the eyes, takes much less time to digest, and is probably much more fun . . . as I was having a little fun with it myself.

Interesting chart & information! Thanks for sharing!

Any details on what's causing the delay?  Will we find out ahead of time which algos have been chosen or do we need to wait for Thursday ?

The original Digishield code goes back 1 block. When multiple blocks are found just a second or two apart it causes the difficulty to skyrocket artificially high. This is now easily manipulated with Scrypt ASICs. We will be fixing this with the update and allowing DigiShield to average the previous 10 blocks to prevent the issue.

We are making a final decision on the algos later today/tonight and will let everyone know.

 Thanks for the update! Exciting!

This is a very interesting move. It would be nice to find how how much they sold it for.

Also today VISA announced they could facilitate Bitcoin payments on their network.

Thank you for keeping an active pool going! P2P is the best way to mine DGB!

Does anyone have any details on this new proposed "autoPOW" the Doge devs are talking about with the Litecoin merge? What do you all think about autoPOW multi-algo?

http://www.coindesk.com/dogecoin-allow-litecoin-merge-mining/

[Kayahoga]

I may be wrong but is this along the same lines as what Myriad is doing with the MAMM[AE]MP http://coinjoint.info/myriadcoin-release-mammmp/.


If its the case that Digibyte shares that did not solve a Digibyte block would be sent to other coins then I am all for it.  Especially since we will have multiple algos.  I think single coin merge mining inevitably fails in the end due to an over abundance of miners dumping the merge mined coin.  However, in a multi-algo setup there would be significantly less sell pressure since a single miner can only "auto sell" coins from 1 of the 5 algos.  So if there was a huge farm, they wouldn't be able to single handedly take down a merge mined coin. 


In the end, is the AuxPOW any different than what Vertcoin did with Monocle and Parallax?

I have no concrete details but think it is a very good idea. It can significantly increase the security of blockchain.
This is also a step into the direction of coins consolidation.

Come on Jared, are you serious? We've talked enough about merged mining weeks ago. Now just release the multi-algo update and stop thinking about other solutions and other algos every day. Please. Enough talk, enough brainstorming. Time for results

In general, there are two kinds of computer users in the world: those who want to work (and therefore want something that works), and those who want to develop (and therefore want something to troubleshoot). That’s tongue-in-cheek humor, but it’s basically true, some users love playing around with the latest technology, the most recent release, etc., and don’t mind [actually like] troubleshooting, and others want something that is guaranteed to work and don’t have the time or inclination to troubleshoot. It’s the difference between “stable” and “beta”.

AutoPOW multi-algo is beta. Which kind of computer user are you? Are you an IT thrill seeker, or a pragmatic, get-the-job-done-without-further-complications kind of user?

Of course, you could also fall into yet another category that could cause you to be interested in something beta, and I would call that desperation. In the article posted about DOGE, the two sub-headings are titled as follows:

• Plan to save dogecoin
• Dogecoin in ‘dire situation’, says Lee

There’s even another category we could create for someone interested in that kind of ‘adventure’ that might be best defined with the inclusion of the quote at the end of the article:

• “[The community] can focus on what dogecoin does best (tipping, donations, wow) instead of worrying about defensive mining and network security.”

I’ll let readers put their own name on that category.  

To summarize, I don’t like the idea. I think it’s just another gimmick for losers. A very bad idea - but that's just me.

Let me just finish with a question: if you’ve got a winner, why on earth would you want to join up with someone else in a “dire situation”? A winner stands on his/her own two feet. I say go with a proven winner - the known, stable and proven version that needs to be finally implemented correctly. Who do you want to share victory with? And why?



Add: I just saw that neuroMode has an article being published by CoinBrief tomorrow titled: "Multi-vPoW: Myriadcoin's Solution to Parasitic Merge-Mining". I'm looking forward to seeing how he argues that! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=483515.msg8193318#msg8193318

HR,

As always, beautiful insight. You have a way with words to put things very concisely in a pragmatic manner. We have arrived at the conclusion that what is tried & true is the best course of action in this modern crypto business. Why re-invent the wheel when it is already circular and rolls down the road to success just fine?
