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

[northranger79510]

Update on Riecoin development: Finished the faucet for Riecoin. It'll be manual until there is a working block explorer. I am thinking of releasing the faucet, android wallet, and potentially other tools at the same time. What do you guys think?

Also, a member of the community has volunteered to work on block explorer can is scheduled to be completed in 1-2 weeks. Thanks go to this member

Anybody know what happened to Riecointalk? If its down since no member, anyone know the owner so I can get the code from him to host it?

Bounty still active for optimised stratum miner: 20% of fees + donations of ric.infinitypool.tk.

Riecoin Difficulty Chart

as well as

Riecoin Blockchain Explorer

This is a full-featured explorer, comes with

• live block updates
• rich list, wealth distribution chart
• extraction watch
• ticker, etc.

If you like it, tips & bounties appreciated at RL9Ldk7EKHBanArEmYznLdGjTZHvazUXjb

You can already visit the links, but as you'll see, it's still many hours from having caught up.

Is there a documentation or API to access the primes mined for each block?

Great stuff! Thanks for implementing this so quickly.

The links currently point to LGC, not RIC; perhaps you can edit the post and fix these (the quote above is already fixed).

And yes, the slow blockchain verification seems to be a problem. @gatra: are you looking at optimising this? is there any kind of 'hint' that the miner can include in a block that aids verification?

For your TODO list - a feature request:  Could you have it show the prime found, as the other block explorer does?  As one of the unique features of Riecoin, it's worth drawing out.

Also, in your "placeholder" -- you could put "largest prime cluster found" in a suitably-easy-to-understand way.  8*10^105 or something.

If you know anything that could help fairglu with the following, please pipe up:

Fully agree about making it easy to see information about primes found, as a second step.

Also - the other block explorer (that shows prime information) always seems to be down for me? I managed to access it only once.

Nice one, fairglu!

I like it very much. On what framework is the block explorer based on?

This was mentioned on the riecoin forum (http://riecointalk.com/index.php/topic,155.0.html) from ysangkok:

https://github.com/ysangkok/riecoin-tools/blob/master/check_proof_of_work.py

It needs python3, and also pyprimes (which I got from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyprimes/0.1.1a)

I tried it on a sample block, and it seems to work well:

Code:

An API call within the client itself would be nice though!

Thansk! It's using DWScript & vanilla Bootstrap, with SQLite as back-end db.

Doesn't seem to work here, I'm getting a syntax error line 101 (Python 3.2.3) :/

Hmmm, blockchain explorer is currently stuck on block 26246, which has a single transaction, f16662cadd50ccf58b585938a25810913acb05f6adaf05ab9cbdc3f84c9ab688, which has the following single vout:

Code:

      "scriptPubKey": {
             "asm": "7692969 OP_BOOLOR [error]",
             "hex": "03a962759b44e46e064da089240f13c2c9da959816e71bba7a2a0f46ed1e8d82e9",
             "type": "nonstandard"
      }

Anyone knows what's up?

The block crawler also goes banana when looking at it.

I could just tell the explorer to ignore it and go ahead, but that sounds wrong

Do you know the block or transaction in which it appeared? Also Explorer is currently stuck at block 26246 because of a transaction error (cf. previous post). I'm unsure what to do with that block, or if the blockchain I have is somehow incorrect/corrupted...

I have all transactions ID that funds were sent into if that is what you are asking. I also cannot solve your blockchain error. It would seem like a bad idea to skip it so maybe a fellow member here can help

Sentiment poll -

I have the linux version of the next iteration of my riecoin miner.  It'll substantially reduce memory use on many platforms, and is a bit faster, and a better long-term building block.

It doesn't work on windows and I'm having a heck of a time debugging it.

Is there any sentiment towards releasing it where it only works on Linux and letting more people stare at what's wrong with windows vs. kicking at it longer and trying to fix it to have both win/linux ready at the same time?

As a linux user myself, I feel as though you should release it but give it another 2 weeks to let Riecoin's infrastructure solidify itself. But when this coin becomes popular, the complainers will shout this coin as a scam if the miner isn't available to everyone in all OS. My vote is to wait a while further.

Nonstandard transactions are, well, non-standard, but valid. In those transactions you can't determine the receiver's address. By manual inspection I think that in this particular case the script makes no sense so those 50 RIC cannot be claimed and are lost, or burnt.
As a quick fix, you can ignore them. Later you can accumulate and report RIC on nonstandard tx

I'm not an expert but I think Python 2 and 3 are different languages, not compatible.
You have to use the correct one or port the code
