⚒[CGA] Cryptographic Anomaly - The Elusive Coin⚒

[ralph12]

I'm surprised more people are not using http://cga.poolnetwork.org/ since there's no pool or exchange fees.

Pool seems to be having issues, no shares or hash rates recognised for the last 30 minutes or so.

Fixed.. Frontend needed a reboot

Wow that was very fast! Nice work I thought it was maybe my browser, logged out and in and it was working again. Thank you!

Going to answer a few questions I saw in the thread all at once so sorry if it's scattered.

To the guy getting stales and/or if you aren't getting coins and you are wallet mining - join a pool.
I got 1.2 mh but started at only 600kh and have 10 coins after mining 26hrs.

Yes Gravity well can be implemented after launch as long as all pools are up to date with new software to avoid forks. Franko did it, RPC didn't do gravity well but they did make changes to the diff along with some other coins I can't think of at the moment.

The main problem with these coins is that the dev's left the diff retarget at some ridiculously long number and once a multipool hits it the coin gets stuck at 100+ diff for weeks after the multi-pool bails. Once that happens all the small miners leave too because it's impossible to find coins at a reasonable rate. I'm more afraid of this than if the diff jumps around slightly, it seems to be working so far.

Diff retarget is every 2 blocks...

[gbomb944]

Does the windows wallet work and can it be added to the op?

So far fantastic coin from my perspective.

[Mivexil]

Why the diff change is so chaotic? Net hash rate seems to be stable but diff sometimes jump from < 1 to > 2 and so on...

I've noticed that. I have no idea...

Artifact of retargeting every 2 blocks without Kimoto's Gravity Well. Find 3 in rapid succession and you'll put the difficulty on some insane number.

Can Kimoto's Gravity Well be implemented after launch?

It can be worked in with a hardfork. I don't exactly know how it works, though, other than it smooths the difficulty adjustments so that they don't result in instant jumps. Have found this post, though, maybe it'll be of some use: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167635.msg3133288#msg3133288

It looks like crypto chomper payout isn't working, auto or manual. Can the pool owner respond?

thanks,

[gbomb944]

Received payout from crypto chomper pool. Awesome fast response!

Anyone know where poolnetwork gets the CGA/USD rate from?

[Mivexil]

Out of its a... basically, you can't really trust USD rates on pools, there is some default value that most pool owners don't care to change.

Haha thanks Mivexil. It seems to change slightly every now and then. Hopefully CGA will be on an exchange soon!

Hi Devs, Mac Wallet not working on OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks. Please fix. Thanks.

[643399]

What can be released when the wallet?
Thank you

Hi Devs, Mac Wallet not working on OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks. Please fix. Thanks.

Unforturnatly I can not really help you... But I can help you help yourself by telling you how to compile your own wallet from the github source. You would need to do the following:

First get Xcode: http://guide.macports.org/#installing.xcode

Then get Macports from here: https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.2.1-10.9-Mavericks.pkg


Then enter the following command in Terminal:

Code:

sudo port install boost db48 qt4-mac openssl miniupnpc git

Then enter the following to clone the source and compile your wallet:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/s4w3d0ff/cryptographicanomaly.git
cd /cryptographicanomaly/ && qmake *.pro && make

If you want the cryptographicanomalyd program enter this next command, if not your qt wallet should be in your cryptographicanomaly folder.

Code:

cd /src/ && make -f makefile.osx

The cryptographicanomalyd program will be in your cryptographicanomaly/src folder.

Hope this helps and if you get a good compile please share it with others who need it.

THERE WILL BE A MANDATORY UPDATE ON FEB 4th @ NOON PST!
We will be adding a checkpoint and Kimoto's Gravity Well Feature (in hope that it smooths out the difficulty fluctuations) as well as lowering the minimum transaction fee (0.00001).

[jayguar]

Looks like no one is mining at cryptochomper and only 24 in pool network. Where is everyone?

Edit: Is there a problem with cga.cryptochomper? I'm unable to connect.

Sounds good.

What about the problem if some pool like multipool.us or middlecoin.com hits us? As gbomb944 stated, this could be a really hard problem for the coin.

... Yet this coins rarity directly reflects the popularity of the coin, so the more people on board makes the coin worth more. That being said, the community can make or brake this coin. So if you support this coin I need you to REALLY support the coin and not look at it as a "pump and dump" coin.

...

What do you need?

Yes we discussed that possibility and decided that it shouldn't be that big of an issue.

The reason is because of the nature of the coin itself. If a multipool hits our coin it will raise the difficulty making it more difficult for other pools to mine CGA for a while but that would also raise the number of blocks that = 0 which in turn would increase the rarity of the coin, thus (potentially) making it worth more. So miners who have been mining in CGA pools (other than multipools) who already have coins on hand would (hopefully) have there coins be worth more due to the lack of coins being generated. We don't know for sure how it will work, but we are willing to try. And normally multipools don't add coins until they are on an exchange (which we haven't yet to my knowledge) due to the way multipools work (mining the most profitable coin, but if it isn't on an exchange then it can't judge the profitability).

So I think we are fine for now.

Side note:

We are going to need someone to make a new Windows binary once the updated source it released.

Also for Mac please. Thanks. Heven't tried your instructions, still downloading files.

I've sent you a PM. Can you send me a reply?
