[ANN][RIC] Riecoin: constellations POW *CPU* HARD FORK successful, world record

[dga]

Hello, dga. In b15 code, update_remainders function, there is line (riecoinMiner.cpp, line 310 on github)

Code:

remainders[i] = remainder;

It seems like remainders array is not used in code anymore and not needed malloc for it too. Or maybe i'm wrong.

Ah!  (Deleted previous reply.)

Let me peek at this a little more.

(updated)  You're right - thank you!  I overlooked that when trying to get more work done in the parallel worker threads.  Cleaned up and committed to github.

Update Thursday is here once again Gatra. Any exciting news for us this day?

Hi!

New client 0.9.1 will be released in a few hours.
Now doing final test of the release candidate... but still a few things to do: generate "release notes", upload to sourceforge, etc. We'll have to update the OP and the website.

This is excellent news! Will you be able to help check why the android app is not working also?

Yes, but I'm new to android stuff... is maven a must? I have sdk 4.4, can I target older versions while compiling with 4.4?

Yea. I am new too. Maven is a must to compile schildbach wallets. You can target older version if you identify them in the manifest.xml file. The only problem I have is that the android app keeps crashing even though I know I have the correct fields so I am confused. Couldn't work on it this week like I've wanted to because of work. I don't recommend using eclipse but rather maven in terminal. Let me know if you need help setting it up.

it's sha2 and someone's gonna rip it with an asic sooner than you think

wtf?
I have to think that this post was made by a bot... but... what's the point of this?

I wanted to recompile everything from scratch (including deps) to make sure all the gitian builder process works ok and it's taking forever.
Going to sleep now, will upload binaries tomorrow.
If you want to build from source, the final version 0.9.1 is available at github.com/riecoin/riecoin under the default branch ("0.9.1"), or tag "v0.9.1".

Changes included:

- submitblock rpc bug fix
- speed optmizations
- getprimes RPC call!
- networkhashpers rpc call

And all the changes from Bitcoin Core 0.9.1 that apply to Riecoin.
These include the openssl update, coin control, 64-bit windows client, new makefiles, and payment requests among many others.

[molecf]

COOL!  i like this coin
0.9.1，I am looking forward to it

[fairglu]

- getprimes RPC call!

Special yeah for this one! ( I'm being partial )

I got a warning about incompatible wallets & Berkeley DB on Debian Wheezy however, I ignored it since I don't need portability, but it might be worthy a mention somewhere in the build instructions.

Building now! (cxx is such a slug...)

edit: build failed, any clues?

Code:

/usr/bin/ld: leveldb/libleveldb.a(log_reader.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `_ZTVN7leveldb3log6Reader8ReporterE' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
leveldb/libleveldb.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

edit 2: Solved it with https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/3686
However now when running riecoind, I get

Code:

./riecoind: error while loading shared libraries: libdb_cxx-4.8.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

edit 3: got it working by using static Berkeley DB 4.8 & the ignore version

edit 4: explorer is now using the getprimes RPC call to obtain the primes, it's much faster than Python!

After edit 2, I was going to write that if riecoind fails while loading shared libraries you could try building the static riecoind, but it looks like you figured it out.

New Riecoin client v0.9.1 binaries are ready. Download from here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/riecoin/files/riecoin%200.9.1/

We have 3 packages for windows: 32 bit installer, 64 bit installer, and the full zip with sources and binaries.
For linux, one tar includes all binaries and sources.


Changes included:

- submitblock rpc bug fix
- speed optmizations
- getprimes RPC call!
- networkhashpers rpc call

EDIT: I forgot to mention another change regarding testnet. The trailing zeros limit was removed so miners with high primorials can now be used on testnet too. The problem is that old riecoin clients will not accept those blocks so it will cause a fork. So this version should be considered a hard fork for testnet. But hey, it's only the testnet, I only see 3 clients connected and there were no blocks for many days.

[gatra]

I just tweeted about the new client version, please update facebook and the web site. northranger if you're not online I'll try to update it myself, but I must leave for a couple of hours now.

[bitcoinvideos]

I added it to the Reddit as well. I will add it to Facebook right now...

Hey, I was out on a mini-vacation but I'm back. Will update it now.

Hey Gatra, will focus be concentrated on stratum mining now?

Yay! Excellent work !

[primer10]

My math is not that good .. anyone knows why primes generated by RIC miners have lots of zeros in the middle?
