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

[Supercomputing]

Wow, RIC mining would have paid off two of my research servers trading @ 0.002 BTC/RIC. I do not pay attention to the market but perhaps it is time to.

@gatra: Any estimate on when your pool server code will be ready for testing? Also, for your GPU implementation, will you be targeting AMD or Nvidia GPUs?

sorry, my latest pool server code doesn't compile, yet..

Regarding gpu, I'm using opencl so it should work on both... I have AMD so that's what I'll work with. I worked with C in embedded systems for some years, but I'm new to gpus, so don't expect a very optimized thing. Right now I'm giving priority to pool code, and the only thing I have is -based on cgminer- the modpow function using "naive" multiplication (no karatsuba, montgomery or fft)

We will be looking forward to using your pool server. Hopefully it is open source so that we can easily add jh00's implementation of XPT (x.pushthrough) protocol and a tamper resistant developer's fee feature to it.

Of course it'll be open source, the idea is to have as many pools open as possible in order to bring decentralization and more people interested in RIC.
This should also set us appart from XPM which, as far as I know, doesn't have an open source pool implementation.

The protocol I'm trying is stratum, only some field lengths are modified (time, nonce). I already updated the cpuminer for this (not officially released because I couldn't test it yet-  ie it probably doesn't work). I you -or anyone- could later add support for XPT it would be cool.

Excellent! We'll be operating a geographically redundant pool that should be very resistant to DDOS attacks, etc.

P2Pool code update:

I dug in to the P2Pool code base today, and from the looks of it, we are going to need a full blown PoW module (like the scrypt module).  I unfortunately cant write it with my basic Python knowledge  and no C knowledge. (Please see code snippets below for explanation)  If somene can write it, PM me and I'll setup a test node to hammer out any bugs.


From p2pool/p2pool/bitcoin/networks.py:
Bitcoin section:

Code:

POW_FUNC=data.hash256

Litecoin section:

Code:

POW_FUNC=lambda data: pack.IntType(256).unpack(__import__('ltc_scrypt').getPoWHash(data))

Full code can be found at https://github.com/blixnood/p2pool

Code for the "Scrypt module" https://github.com/blixnood/p2pool/tree/master/litecoin_scrypt

I think  RIC price = XPM price

When will it happen?

Very excited, 2 Full member answer one Newbie question... I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Time to going UP, RieCoin!!!

Are there any math attainments in Riecoin blockchain yet, like Primecoin records?

10K total buy support for 0.00055  on Mintpal

Is it just me or do riecoin-qt and riecoind take 5-10 minutes to start up every time?

They do for me, but I think if you solomine a coin early on you end up with a lot of addresses in your keypool, and that slows down start-up.

User ysangkok on Reddit just posted this amazing block crawler with primes result listing for each block. Loving the WolframAlpha and SymPy Live primality tests.

Note: Still needs transaction information from the blocks

I also made some more optimized changes to my modded xptminer build to get even more 4ch/s for comparsion with dga's new release.

static linux bins for different arch you can grab here: http://go.ispire.me/1vo
Fee: 2%

Did you follow the "sieve all six to 50k" guideline?  I'd encourage you and other miner creators to be very clear about the size of the all-six sieve used -- we all benefit from having blocks be found at a fair rate.

I ask because a miner that violates that will be easy to detect and penalize server-side - so I'd caution people to always make sure their miners are playing by the game.

There is a guideline about 50k? ;-)

And no i didn't made any change to the source that will violate nor cheat.

The price makes Riecoin looks so addicting to buy. I want to buy more but don't want to go in too hard.

*riecointalk.com

But riecointalk.org does redirect to riecointalk.com, does that mean Riecointalk.com owns Riecointalk.org? If so, why do we use a .COM domain name? com stands for commercial

Now some of you may disagree, but Bitcointalk is probably one of the most important altcoin sites to post announcements on. It is where newbs and active investors come to chat with one another and look at the next coin to invest in (At least for me it is). Even if there is an altcoin forum, it is less attractive to join in on that forum than bitcointalk. So what I suggest for the members of Riecoin community is to make as much post on Riecoin thread on Bitcointalk.com as possible. We should always be on page 1. Most people are lazy. Lazy enough not to look at page 2 unless desperate (somewhat like Google searches). If we are always on Page 1 of Bitcointalk.com, Riecoin will become more noticed and people will look at it often. If we can increase page count by at least 2 per day, it would be a vast improvement in reaching our audiences. Right now, we are at like 0.5ish page count a day. We are on page 1 maybe 5-6 times a day? It should be always. I will do my best in making Riecoin on page 1 but I need your help since I wont always be on.

This idea sounds good, but no spamming!
