[ANN][AUR] Auroracoin - a cryptocurrency for Iceland

[molecular]

last difficulty adjustment was from 1691.849 to 2406.9

That's more than 25%. Someone said the change was capped at 25%.

Can someone explain?

Another puzzle is that blocks generated with the same hashing power should only take twice as long for difficulty 2000 as it would for 1000. Yet blocks, when difficulty is 2000, seem to take about 10x longer to get created. So most of the hashing power must automatically desert the coin at >2000.  Price/difficulty must be the factor for this.

yes, of course. This is the multipools hopping to more profitable coins. At least that's the explanation I have.

Also, I wonder whether a default mempool size is too small for a large number of unconfirmed transactions, hence the "not synced' message on the client which appears during slow block periods...?

Hopefully all this improves in 21 blocks from now.

I'm having extreme performance troubles with blockexplorer.auroracoin.eu. The only thing that solves it (for a while) is to re-load the whole blockchain and rebuild bitcoin-abe database. I think it has to do with the mempool transactions.

I made too quick conclusion:

Code:

         int64 nActualTimespanMax = ((nTargetTimespan*75)/50);
         int64 nActualTimespanMin = ((nTargetTimespan*50)/75);

That's not +-25%, it is +50% / -33%

okay, thanks.

My wallet is again "Out of sync".

I dont close wallet, running 12 hours, 9 hours was "out of sync" aprox. 2 hours was synchronized, yet again out of sync.

Any trouble with blockchain or what is a problem ?

molecular: You think balduro can manage/solve problems with time warp attack by BitcoinExpress?

[molecular]

The hard fork will made today??

probably not . It's just 20 blocks to go, but we're really crawling.

I doubt it's a timewarp attack. It's just the mining power leaving (multipools) because of too low profitability.

quite honestly: I don't think the problems are a result from BitcoinExpress attack. It's just multipools on/off-ing us.

Baldur's soltution is/was the hard-fork which will be effective block 5400.

There's not much we can do except get miners to mine AUR and keep mining if we are.

Thanks for info.

Was It really fair start ? If you could explain blocks 0-384 would be gratefull.

cheers

I assume, everyone is tired answering same questions.
Would you like to  read carefully about Airdrop? Please do it for yourself.
All links are on page first.

I was really tired
Believe you also like me, fatigue

[jinni7241500aa]

Ok so when is the airdrop actually going to take place more or less?

I think it is more
Believe you also think so

What?

[jinni7241500aa]

In all honesty it's really hard to tell where this coin is going to go short term.. the trend has been down for the past 24 hours. I bought back in 1 btc at .063 and taking a beating.

But all I see is constant buys. Coin trending straight down to the ground, but people are buying buying buying.

Hopefully I recover and make some spare change, but who the hell knows.

The present situation is not good and the price is very low
But I don't think it should be in the form of tomorrow
Good luck to you

{
"blocks" : 5380,
"difficulty" : 2406.86387150,
"networkhashps" : 6125141680,
}

So time to buy ... supply is halved .. and the coin didnt colapse after airdrop.

If the coin is getting back to its high ~0.15 if u buy now it would be a ~1200% gain ...

That's my explanation also. And just now price is low (multipools jumps away) and difficulty high, which means very long verification times. It will get better after KGW/5400.

Also, I wonder whether a default mempool size is too small for a large number of unconfirmed transactions, hence the "not synced' message on the client which appears during slow block periods...?

Same with auroraexplorer.atorox.net. It seems to get problems if amount of not-verified transactions gets over ~1000. It helps to keep auroracoind offline or restart it every now and then.

probably not . It's just 20 blocks to go, but we're really crawling.

I doubt it's a timewarp attack. It's just the mining power leaving (multipools) because of too low profitability.

Just wondering.. would it make any difference, if all Icelanders started to solo mine?

Its so hard to explain to them what Auroracoin is... so explain to them how to mine?
My fear is that miners would just give up on the coin and we will never get to block 5400

Personally I went to Ebay to buy some scrypt mining contracts. But its just a drop in the sea


maybe we should gather a bounty of 0.1btc for each pool that finds a block up to block 5400... is it possible to arrange such a thing?

I mean CPU mining.. just run a wallet, click "mining" and "start mining". Mining with CPU is not very profitable, but If enougt ppl do it, transaction time will be tolerable :-)

That's an interesting thought, The facebook page have 4k people.. how much power each computer can add?

Interesting. I just clicked on mininig and start in my wallet. But it happens: nothing.
Problem seems to be that the wallet is repeatedly stating "out of sync", apparently because of hundreds of unconfirmed transactions.

Could it be that lots of people do have this problem, and so mining drops even further because of wallets out of sync??


Update: Restarting auroracoin-qt does help. Mining gives me about 10kH (not-so-old AMD Hexacore). So no, adding 4-5k people cpu-mining would be roughly 50MH and won't change a thing.

Well, it is 50 MH more than now :-) And a block was just found? Maybe some lucky solo miner?

[flyboy665]

Now it needs to be decided how to get there.

Seems like from the devs the decision is to decide nothing, just wait...

Three blocks to go, then the diff will readjust to about 1,613 (if it's right what was said some posts ago). Hopefully this will take not much longer than another day.

I want to now have it any help to me？
