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

[gatra]

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

I'm answering before we leave the first page
It's a fair comparison because LTC has blocks each 2.5 mins as we do, but it's not fair because LTC's PoW is not "useful".....
Anyway the answer depends on the current RIC difficulty. The first sync will definitely be much faster in RIC and in LTC, because LTC has much more blocks, and it will be like that for some time. If RIC difficulty goes up by a big amount this may change. and we would need to look at some more aggressive optimization.

Fair enough. Any progress on stratum? I think what we need more than anything right now is a fast client and more pools.

News from the Riecoin Blockchain Explorer:

• constellations text file being updated up to block 45000 in the next hours, with the highest constellations so far (diff 1724)
• extraction history charts have been added, you can access them from the extraction tab, f.i. here is UpCPU's
• added some visual feedback when a new block is extracted

Great news about the client update coming, is an RPC API to get the primes being included as well?
That's the "plus" that sets Riecoin apart!

Excellent news

Btw Dev, can you add the google play links I posted on here on OP as well as the paper wallet/multisig generator?

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!

Hey, added conversion to CAD as well as other currencies. Used BitcoinAverage as the model.

Hey Fairglu, I know this isn't required, but could you set up a testnet for Riecoin? I'd like to use it for an Android wallet app I am trying to develop.

Fortunately all blocks are and will be BIP30 compatible because the "enforce BIP30" option is on by default since the first RIC release. The only checkpoint that you need is the one at 4000 (see checkpoints.cpp). I'll add more for the next release but it's not mandatory that you include them.
Regarding the genesis block hash, e1ea18d0676ef9899fbc78ef428d1d26a2416d0f0441d46668d33bcb41275740 is correct
For the genesis block, difficulty should be 304, which is 0x02013000 when packed (there is no concept of "target" on RIC, only the difficulty).
The nonce for the genesis block is 0. The genesis is a special case: it's the only block that doesn't have primes. This saved me the trouble of mining it.
You can leave dnsSeeds empty and then add some nodes manually.

If you uploaded the code to github or something, I could help you with some of these details

what are the plans for future development?
··

I'd like to start off with this is purely my opinion.

What do you mean?
If you mean if Gatra plans to modify the code to make an decentralize exchange, switch to PoS, or something similar, I don't think that'll occur simply because Riecoin doesn't need it.

If you are talking about improving Riecoin by fixing bugs, making sync time faster, then a new client is in the making and more fixes are sure to come. That is what Bitcoin and other successful coin aiming for currency is about.

Riecoin is unique and not another Pump and Dump coin. The community is trying to make it a currency, not a stock option. Flashy addition is not necessary in my opinion and shouldn't be added. Widespread merchant adoptions will be the goal.

I hope that answer your question.

[bitcoinvideos]

northranger is spot on with RIC. It is not a coin that a traditional pump and dump or scam feature coin. It provides, real, sustainable additions to the science community. To that end, a fast explosive growth pattern would not be conducive to stable, long term growth. Future development would include stratum support for sure and the addition of more pools to increase mining adoption rates.

At least I think that's what we are going for?

[thisisit]

damn thinking there was news on android wallet... ah wel, moving on.
