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

[dga]

On multi-socket, if you have the memory for it, I'd run one process per socket, with N+1 threads on each socket (where N is the number of cores).

There's some coarse-grained sharing between threads.  I haven't found it to be a problem on a 2 socket machine, but on a huge AMD with 4 sockets and 8 different NUMA domains, things got bad.

Interesting that it works on windows.  Gives me hope that it's a mingw or something bug, not a "my use of critical sections or cond vars is wrong" bug.  This is *not* mingw, right?  Is there some way I should be doing a compile for windows peeps other than mingw on linux?  I'd love to provide an official windows binary.

Msys is a unix-like environment for windows that uses mingw compilers, so my build isn't a cross-compile.  (Still working fine for over 40 minutes now, seems very slightly faster with 4cores).  Hopefully the mingw linux cross-compile environment will be updated soon after gcc4.9 is released, which might fix whatever bug you're running into.

It's using only 30% of the memory that b14 does with the same -s setting ??

Correct - that's the major improvement of b15.  The memory for sieve computation is shared among all of the threads now (as is the work of doing the sieving).  It's why it took me a while to get this one pushed out - dividing the work among all of the cores is done very differently than before.

well, most people  including me do not have access to university resources
With my normal one socket i5-4670 and 8GB RAM
running fastrie/xptMiner/xptminer -s 700000000 -t 4
it says
[00:08:40] 2ch/s: 28.6247 3ch/s: 1.8826 4ch/s: 0.0630 Shares total: 8 / 8
with b15 - and
[00:08:40] 2ch/s: 29.2391 3ch/s: 1.8196 4ch/s: 0.0630 Shares total: 8 / 8

the difference seems small, but using bigger sieve sizes it is worse.

I understand only 4ch matters, I try to let it run for longer with sieve 19e8 and post the result.

Also regarding diff - It is around 1700 now- but I can hardly force it to be the same
It may be nice to display better metrics not 2ch/s ... but with diff correction as well ...
e.g. if we have X [2ch/s ] use something like X * math.e ** (1.0*diff / 1e4) [2ch*b/s]
just wild guess

Sonds good - let me know.  8 minutes isn't enough to really see the 4ch/s results.

Hey Riecoiners,

A mini widget was published on Google Play earlier today:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.riecoinfoundation.widget

The coin fetches price using a JSON call to Poloniex and Mintpal and convert it to USD.

Support Riecoin!

Any chance of getting it to convert to CAD as well? Cavirtex is the primary reputable CAD$ exchange out there.

Thanks!

This is possible. Give me some time. I am working on an android wallet for Riecoin right now. Just resolved a portion of the problem I came across and resting for today.

Right on, if I knew Java I'd probably work on whipping it up myself. But I don't... and from what I understand, coding for Android can be an interesting experience. Really appreciate all the work you're putting into the foundation/community!

Hey Gatra,

will the next client fix OpenSSL problem?

Yes!

[gatra]

I think what can help a lot right now are community members posting on this thread daily to keep it on the first page constantly.

I completely agree, I'd just like to add that it would be much better if we could have real ideas, comments, questions, problems or solutions instead of nonsense messages... come on, there should be a lot of people with real RIC issues to discuss, don't be shy!

To my surprise, the penalty of using the miner with ubuntu inside vmware on a windows 7 host versus the windows miner was really small

edit: I'm talking about my rminerd 3.1.1 - YMMV

I do the best I can to get news out... I've got about a half dozen people into Riecoin and I'd donate but I'm mining on my laptop so I'm not exactly flush with coins :p

I'm doing my best to get the word out. If the university/record breaking push day happens I'll definitely help out, I'm waiting to find out exactly what my summer looks like before I commit, but I have some good contacts in western Canada at least.

[northranger79510]

I'd like to know how fast the new client will be compared to say...Litecoin? Slower or faster?
