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

Appreciate the update gatra!

Anyone think we need a redesign for Riecoin logo? Its a bit 2D in my opinion and doesn't really stand out from the oceans of cryptocurrencies we have right now.

I've done some further exploring of the blockchain and difficulty to try to document the evolution of the public and private Riecoin miners.  The results are fun:

Anyone want to lay claim to some of those clusters of big offsets?

If there is some bounty, i can make a lot more 3D design

cool work! nice chart...
One thing to have in mind: the nonce (or offset) can be up to 256 bits, however it also has to fit in the trailing zeros of the base number (the 1 + 8 zeros + the hash + x zeros to fill for the difficulty). Without this rule, 2 blocks could share the same sextuplet.
This means that for difficulty 304, the max valid nonce was 39 bits long.
After difficulty 521 this didn't matter anymore, but the size of the nonce was limited at the beginning (this is why supercomputing would probably loose his bet of mining the first 500 blocks in 5 mins - also, there is a retarget at 288 which is special: the first retargets don't follow the 4x rule so difficulty could jump up fast)
I never used more than 64 bits for the nonce and 2310 for the primorial (which is the cpuminer I published).

Thanks for the write-up. The next phase will be to implement a multiple polynomial version which should be faster in theory than a single polynomial version. But my playtime is up until late next month. I will follow your blog and this thread to stay abreast of future discoveries.

If there is some bounty, i can make a lot more 3D design

50 RIC on my end for a redesign of logo.

I like our logo, but if the majority speaks I'll agree to change it.
Please consider that 3D is not always better than 2D!
well... the Riemann zeta function is actually 4D... (C->C ie 2D->2D) but can be represented in two 3D graphics...

Also consider that besides the logo I'll need the splash screen for the QT wallet, the icons in many sizes, the drawing for the left of the "about riecoin" window, the vertical banner for the windows installer, and the horizontal banner like this one: http://www.riecoin.org/logo_riecoin_png.png

why the price is so much down?!

[Zackgeno96]

it will bounce back, best time to buy!

Great work!

Dumpers gonna dump

[northranger79510]

why the price is so much down?!

Because Ypool is monopolizing Riecoin and solo miners don't get much so Ypool miners sell at any price. Since price is continuously going down right now, no investor is making a profit but its ok. I just put in a buy order for Riecoin and I will continue to do so until Riecoin has 2+ pool.

I also like our current logo. 2D is always better for a logo IMAO. Show me otherwise  . Or, simply make another 2D logo.

Personally, I don't mind the price being this low. Gives me more time to invest in other coin to make a quick profit and buy more RIC.

2% of mined coins are being dumped if my calculations are correct

Have you considered if YPool dumps their coins they get from fees?

Yea..I don't mind the logo right now but I think it can be improved. But that is not as important right now as getting a 2nd, 3rd, etc.. pool up and running for Riecoin.

Yup.. hopefully stratum-mining can be fixed up ASAP

I was hesitant to say something earlier out of fear of appearing a Luddite, bit I also like the current Riecoin logo and see no reason to change it.
