[ANN][MAC]Machinecoin - The Steampunk Cryptocurrency - Now With TimeTravel PoW!

[metamorphin]

Just figured out how to solo mine with minerd. This is my config file:


minerd.exe -a scrypt -o 127.0.0.1:40332 -u myusername -p mypassword -t 4 --coinbase addr=mywalletaddress

The only issue I have is what do I put for the algorithm? It's not scrypt anymore...right? How do I input it in minerd or is it even supported by minerd?

Thanks!

I am not sure, but how I understood this new algo, its not possible to mine with an actual software on market. With every found block, the algo changes! This is his development "Time Travel".

Hard fork incoming!

Please update your Machinecoin Wallet until Friday, 09-Sep-16 18:00:00 UTC. That is the moment when Machinecoin v0.13.1 "Octopus" officially kicks in.
Just like with every update: don't forget to create backups of your wallets in front of the update.
This update is mandatory.


Downloads

Windows 64-bit
https://github.com/machinecoin-project/machinecoin-core/releases

Windows 32-bit
https://github.com/machinecoin-project/machinecoin-core/releases


Source:
https://github.com/machinecoin-project/machinecoin-core/releases


Most Important changes:

* New Codebase
Bitcoin v0.13.0 codebase with integrated miner for "Time Travel"

* New Coin Supply
Subsidy halves every 350 000 blocks which limits the coin supply to 35,000,000

* New PoW Algorithm
Machinecoin "Octopus" comes with a new pow algorithm with the code name "Time Travel".
The new pow algorithm should be asic resistant for quite some time (or forever if no one will ever create one).

Where is published the source in git or svn?

Yes, I follow the link, must be without the /release
Ok, next question - master or branc 0.13 is the stable release? In the branch is 0.13 no .1.1 subversion?

I am not sure, but how I understood this new algo, its not possible to mine with an actual software on market. With every found block, the algo changes! This is his development "Time Travel".

Miners actually travel through 40320 different combinations of hashing algorithms which easily can be extended to nearly 1000 times that much. In combination with further optimizations miners then nearly won't recognize any difference by the increasing.

Yeah, is there a way to have the wallet continuously mining?

See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=434190.msg16241355#msg16241355 for an example and where to find the help for the parameters in detail.

How do I input it in minerd or is it even supported by minerd?

Minerd does not know the new algorithm.

Take this link https://github.com/machinecoin-project/machinecoin-core/archive/v0.13.1.1.tar.gz there you can be sure you run the same version as the binaries.

Thanks Gitju for answering my question!

Does anyone know if a standalone miner will be available for this algorithm?

Sure, you could setup a bounty at https://work.machinecoin.org if you want to speedup the process.
This way we may can get some more developers involved that can work on their own new projects and include Machinecoin into it.

@Gitju  I've been lucky enough to pick a spot for this adventurous short story. I wanted to be a character in a crypto related story. Finally it happened. I'm really glad I found an open slot.
