RieCoin is getting back on track in the world record race: the top 3 largest prime constellations were found in februrary with a nice trend. IIRC world record is at 751 digits, so well within reach! Block Date/Time Difficulty Digits #1 422928 2016-02-28 21:57 2387.00 719 #2 414864 2016-02-14 18:03 2354.00 709 #3 418896 2016-02-21 17:44 2349.00 707 http://chainz.cryptoid.info/ric/halloffame.dwsVery nice! Good job miners!

I guess from the silence everything is running smoothly now and the ddos are over?

DDoS attacks never stopped since i started the pool. Day by day, hour by hour. Im 24/7 monitoring the pool. What the hell is this guy wining with this?

Also my pool is often under attack! I don't understand why someone wants to sabotage this great project... Please stop and look elsewhere, or mine Riecoin like everyone else! Thank you

Well, as it is common in the world around, the success comes with a price. I have a stratum pool open here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=446703.msg14014382#msg14014382No problem with DDOS, but no miners as well. Maybe over the weekend

Hi all, The 6-tuplet world record has been broken again, thoroughly: The previous record was 751 digits, Norman Luhn's new record has 1037 digits. The first titanic (more than 1000 digits) 6-tuplet record is 28993093368077 * 2400# + 19417 http://anthony.d.forbes.googlepages.com/ktuplets.htmNorman is a veteran prime record breaker and held a lot of the previous 6-tuplet records. The number above corresponds to a Riecoin difficulty of 3444. Wow!

Any idea of the hardware he used and for how long? He has some margin! That's about 50% higher than current super-blocks, which might be stretching the monetary purpose of RIC a bit, but would still be feasible I guess. Too bad it would take a hard fork... I wonder if there could be a way to "vote" for super block difficulty? When bitcoin miners are considering voting for block size, RIC miners could vote for the superblock difficulty multiplier. This could allow some super-super-block to be voted by miner consensus, to claim a world record, and then miners could resume "normal" difficulty.

I got in touch with Norman Luhn, and he gave me this brief: The titanic-6-tuplet-project was a "dream" of me in year 2000. I have started the project on Aug. 2011. After 4 years I found it after 153 quintuplets. The hardware is normal, 12-18 Phenom II cores at 2.8 GHz. I wrote a presieve for APSIEVE. It was a hard job :-) to sieve in 10,000 4-billion-blocks before I found it. I looked for k's in an interval 0 up to 10^14. Since he just signed up for this forum, you can probably discuss other details with him directly.

Hello, here is the sextuplet record holder.
Hello! Four years is a lot of dedication, 12-18 core was a sizable amount of silicium back then... and an even more sizeable amount of juice to run them, were they dedicated or just churning on spare time? (and FWIW Phenom II is still the core of my main work PC, fine CPU, if a bit hot under stress)

Yes it is adedication. It was a full time job, all cores runs 4 years nonstop with 100% and costs a lot of power, maybe 2500 USD or EUR for this one ! ..but it is my favorite hobby. The PC was undervolted ,so the CPU max 60 degrees on very hot summer days and near noiseless. Both PCs have only 230W under full load.
(Sorry for my bad english sometimes.)

wow, congratulations on your new record! and welcome to Riecoin! but... challenge accepted! we are going to have to break it I was thinking about the differences between Riecoin mining vs just finding a sextuplet. In Riecoin we are forcing the the first digits of the base prime to match the hash of the block, so the first 250 or so binary digits are "fixed" and change about once every 2.5 minutes. This means we have to make a new sieve each time and gives us a "disadvantage", in the sense that there is a loss in efficiency. But compare our efforts: in two years, we found many sextuplets in the range of 500 digits. This is far from the 1037 of the new record, but hey! we found 400000 of those! We have much more computing power than 18 phenoms. If we could focus work on larger numbers without impacting the coin's transactions we could reach 1037 digits in weeks intead of years. I've been working in this direction and I'll put my ideas in written as soon as I understand them Meanwhile, we are getting the attention of more people insterested in Maths making them look into cryptocurrencies. That makes me happy

Yes, but all our base primes start with 10000000 in binary so I'd round it up instead of down: 3445 just to be safe That's about 50% higher than current super-blocks, which might be stretching the monetary purpose of RIC a bit, but would still be feasible I guess. Too bad it would take a hard fork...
I wonder if there could be a way to "vote" for super block difficulty? When bitcoin miners are considering voting for block size, RIC miners could vote for the superblock difficulty multiplier.
This could allow some super-super-block to be voted by miner consensus, to claim a world record, and then miners could resume "normal" difficulty.
Agreed. 50% higher in number of digits means more than ten times of actual work because of the exponential nature of this stuff. One order of magnitude higher, however still doable. I'm trying to find a way of keeping frequent blocks instead of super-blocks, because some traders rely on the speed of the coin for arbitrage. I don't want to hurt them with transactions that take many hours.
