Is every block reward 45.33333333 ric now?
This is due to the approaching superblock, which if mined, has a total of 1,389 RIC as the reward. The blocks adjacent to the superblock will have a lower reward, where the difference between the normal block reward comprises the superblock itself.

Is every block reward 45.33333333 ric now?
No - this is part of the algorithm that allows for high-diff blocks. For a while after the high-diff blocks, the block reward is reduced to "pay for" the higher expense of the high-diff block. See this message by Gatra earlier in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=446703.msg18089292#msg18089292(Edited to add: oops, Ziiip beat me to it by 60 seconds.

Interesting... Superblock solved now but it is 2 hours and 40 minutes ago..... And there are a lot of SOLO MINING blocks that report abnormalities. Many seem to be resolved 5-10 minutes before broadcasting..... What's under

What's under Probably the solominer that uses a new address every block solved the superblock and withheld broadcast until they could work on a few more blocks. Looks like it worked itself out now though.

I would recommend the few SERIOUS miners to quit mine Riecoin and look elsewhere. What a crap!

This coin is not a joke, the network only now has low orphans, everything works well. There is also more than one solominer Simba, this coin is doing very well given the circumstances, just look at the price. . .

There is also more than one solominer Simba, this coin is doing very well given the circumstances, just look at the price. . . Simba, what is it that you're trying to accomplish? Are you attempting to drive everyone else away from your profit center? Riecoin has one real strength: It's got an intellectually cool proof of work, written by a developer who knows enough about the math involved to justify it. (Enough that I'm reading freaking bitcointalk when I should be trying to get my semester finished up.) It's not flashy, it's not making bogus promises to overthrow bitcoin (yet), it's just got something that's cool in a geeky kind of way that makes it a very worthwhile experiment in cryptocurrencies with a financially-useless-but-interesting PoW function. I'd encourage you and everyone else involved in the coin to enjoy its geeky awesomeness, not try to tear it down. It's finding big 6-tuples. They'll hopefully get bigger over time. The code that gets produced is worthwhile on its own -- someone modified my miner code to find a world-record 6-tuple a while back. That's awesome, and more fun than producing code that iterates SHA-2 very, very quickly. (yawn). And ziiip's right - look at the orphans chart: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ric/orphans.dwsSolid orphan performance with a fast block time, and this despite someone continually DDoS'ing the network. And yes, there are a lot of solo miners, but (depending on whether you think RFqKLWLtx..., R9KQKgP1, are one miner or several) there are at least two different people, or groups of them -- the ones that mine to a single address, the ones that mine to a different address, and then the pools. If we could get a bit of that hashrate spread slightly more over the smaller pools, this would be a really nicely distributed hashrate. It's a bit more centralized than bitcoin ( https://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=4days), but it's nothing like the ypool days that you like to reference. (And, let's be honest: I doubt anyone investing in Riecoin is doing so because of the current or previous state of the network. I wouldn't. The cool things are the PoW, Gatra, and that it's a long-running coin with several pools, exchanges, and a solid blockchain explorer.)

It seems the lower the orphan rate, the more you complain . Every coin will have some miners withholding broadcast of blocks, this is why good hashrate distribution is so important, to prevent selfish mining. All of the Riecoin pools are 0% fee currently, if your users aren't donating enough for your liking then add a fee to your pool and stop complaining. uBlock.it is interested in the scientific function of Riecoin, and is looking forward to more world records

Let me remind you of the last big pool which had almost all the RICs network concentrated in one place. When they went offline, not only was a lot of money gone (frozen in their accounts) but also the difficulty sky high and it took days to get it down to normal in order do any transaction on the network.

But because they're China-based, they have a hold on BTC withdrawals. If you want to buy or sell RIC there, you need to pick another alt-coin to use as an intermediary. I just tried sending some BTS there (it confirms really fast), selling it for CNY, buying RIC, withdrawing the RIC to my wallet, sending the RIC back to BTC38, and selling the RIC back to BTS, withdrawing the BTS back to Bittrex, and selling it there. That all worked.

My node got ddos attacks as well (offline now .. can't be bothered to bring it back online ... it had a constant connection to polo and btc38 ... which was good for my own mining (not doing that anymore either)). It was pretty stable for more than 2 years until the attacker started to destabilize the network and the one pool with the biggest hash power started to disconnect itself from the network for longer periods of time (for whatever reason ... my best guess ... dDos ... my worst guess ... selfish mining). Things we can do: - Poloniex will only talk to the main dev of the coin to take any advice on how to get the wallet back on track. So Gatra please do so! - A more decentralized mining operation is needed ... 4 pools and a lot of solo miners ... - Optional: Start tracking the attacks back to the source ... and kick his/her ass. one4many

I wouldn't expect Poloniex to have their wallet listening for incoming connections. My personal wallet maintains connections only to trusted nodes via connect= parameters and has no issues. It also helps to reduce MilliSleep in net.cpp prior to compile to ensure that if the nodes you have chosen get kicked offline, they are reconnected very quickly Example: @@ -1425,7 +1425,7 @@ OpenNetworkConnection(CAddress(vserv[i % vserv.size()]), &grant); MilliSleep(500); } - MilliSleep(120000); // Retry every 2 minutes + MilliSleep(5000); // Retry every 5 seconds } https://github.com/riecoin/riecoin/blob/0.10.2/src/net.cpp#L1425

there is perhaps a gpu miner for this? i see a gpupool on the first post, but i think it's something else? or this is still under cpu only, not that i believe it lol, i guess someone is private mining with gpu already

gpupool offers only CPU mining for RIC. I don't claim to understand the naming. As with all "CPU-only" coins, someone(s) is either botnet mining, or GPU mining, but it's very hard to say which. Because of the DDoS situation, I'd be willing to bet that there's a botnet involved somewhere, though.
