Around superblocks the reward is diminished a bit, and the coins instead go to whoever finds the superblock (which has a higher difficulty). The idea being that this does not change the number of RIC that will be generated, while allowing (and giving an incentive) to find higher prime constellations. In case of block 410814, the corresponding superblock is 410832, which ranked #2 in the hall of fame: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ric/halloffame.dws

In case of block 410814, the corresponding superblock is 410832, which ranked #2 in the hall of fame: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ric/halloffame.dwsUrp - I've fallen behind on time to be able to do the code integration for stratum. I apologize. If someone wants to fork the miner and do it, you've got my blessing... I still hope to do it if nobody else can, but I've got a bunch of day job things between.
don't worry, I read some people had problems compiling my fork so I'll review that and try to generate all the binaries. Anything new this week Gatra?
This is the final implementation that I have for the superblocks: Difficulty adjustments were performed every 288 blocks which should take 12 hs, so once every 14 adjustments (ie once a week) we will have a special interval. In these special intervals the difficulty will be adjusted a little bit down for all blocks except one which will be the superblock. The expected behavior is that 287 blocks will be shorter (136 seconds instead of 150), lending 14 seconds each to the superblock which will in total accumulate almost 70 minutes. This is the most elegant solution I could find since every interval will still have 288 blocks and be targeted to last 12hs. So, if in a few days you get blocks with a reward of 45,33333333 instead of 50, then it is expected behavior. Don't complain: your block had less reward because it was easier to find, it's still fair. And if you get a block with 1389,33333333 RIC, then congratulations: you solved the superblock. This is implemented, under testing, and working fine so far. Now what remains is to decide the block number for the hard fork (around 135000?), generating all the binaries and issuing alerts for everyone to upgrade. Regards! Gatra Yeah, this is info buried in the thread, quoted above.

Thanks for the clarification guys. I had no idea there were superblocks. So happy I'm solo mining now.
Hey Rascal, you mentioned that you were working on a proxy for other coins. Hows that going?

Well it's more or less complete I guess but I sort of hit a road block with getting some of the algos to build correctly so I wanted to try to iron that out first but I might just release it anyway and work out the rest later, plus I'm still debating on if I'm going to leave the dev fee or just take it out.

Leave the dev fee and the ability to change it from 0 to whatever we want. I left it on for riecoin and will leave it on when I mine scrypt coins. Nothing wrong with getting paid for your work.

Totally agree ... most of my miners had the dev fee on while mining RIE on pools. More importantly release the source code! ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) one4many

Hi everybody, based on Rascal71 work, I started a pool. Is there anybody willing to help me test it ? Please consider it A PRIVATE TEST ROUND. So please use PM. Zero fees of course. Opensource gatra's miner seems to be working fine (stratum). Just to stirr a water a bit - let's see if we encounter a DDoS - while staying private ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Kind regards

Is there any mining hardware comparisons for this coin? Like, how much will I get by mining on different CPU's.

I never saw a riecoin mining comparison.

Hello.
I am newbie to the RIC.
I am wondering that How can i optimize my miner for using all of my CPU resources??
When I start mining using the xptminer, the miner only use 5 thread... But my CPU is E5-2667 V3(32core)... So, I should use -t 32 option, but my cpu utilization(load average) is only 20.
Does anyone know that how to set cpu threads for mining properly and the sieve value?

Hello, welcome to the Forum. For the use of cores try to start more xptMiner (4 or 5) without "-t" parameter, while for the Sieve Size value if you have a RAM of at least 16GB you can set a value as "-s 3500000000" or "-s 4000000000" (3.5 / 4 billions) Good mining!

I had that for a few days. eventually I switched off "map port through UPnP" in options -> network and that seemed to fix it.

Hello Simba. I downloaded the xptminer from " https://github.com/gatra/fastrie". And i have already used the xptminer without "-t" options for using all cores. But the xptminer did NOT use my all resoures of cores. Moreover, I have big amount of RAM about 192GB ~ 512GB in each machines. So, How much do i set amount of RAM to my machine?? Do you have any idea??

I had the best results using -s around 21e8 but it was for i5, xeons might benefit from some higher. This one works fine : https://github.com/gatra/fastrieYou can see statistics of the new stratum mining portal here : http://ric1.ddns.net/statsNo registration necessary. 1% fee. YOURWALLET=Rxxxxxxxxxxxx xptMiner/xptminer -s 2100000000 -m -o http://ric1.ddns.net:33334 -u $YOURWALLET -p xxxxx # -t 4 # if you want to specify threads If a windows miner is needed, I can try to compile one. Happy mining !

Do you have any idea?? For best performance do this: For Linux 64bit OS: Download xptMiner2 binary: http://riepool.ovh/downloads/New_Linux64_xptminer.zipFor Windows 64bit OS: Download xptMiner2 binary: http://riepool.ovh/downloads/New_Windows64_xptminer.zipScript: xptminer2 -u username.worker -p password (-t CPU threads number) (-s sieve size) For Linux, give permissions to downloaded file with the command: "chmod +x xptminer2" It's currently the highest performing miner for Riecoin. The miner has been extensively tested by many users and works very well. For the CPU if you use a Cloud or VPS system, check the available vCore and even threads per core via the Linux command "lscpu". If you get one Thread/Core this could be the problem...

For mining on machines with multi cpu for best performance, u should launch one miner for each physical cpu and tie the process to each physical core using either numactl for linux or start affinity for windows.

Riecoin is getting back on track in the world record race: the top 3 largest prime constellations were found in february with a nice trend. IIRC world record is at 751 digits, so well within reach!
