I notice Riecoin is up a little on decent volume.  Something new?

my guess is a few people have optimized miners ,

Hey people
me again

i rebuild my sytem in an new case and now running the system on an ssd. So i wonder, why i get twice the sharerate than before, still same cpu, same parameters?

good evening

same RAM? RAM memory speed plays a crucial role
same OS? a 64 bit OS will perform much better than a 32 bit one
are you runing other apps or just minning?

in case of high temp some CPUs throttle themselves down in order to limit heat, so maybe your new case is better and the old one was not dissipating heat fast enough

Did we got exchange?  I wan to buy some.
thanks.

Not sure, diff is still relatively lower.

A price bottom might have been reached. It's one of the very few CPU-only cryptos, with long term coin generation settings, ongoing development, and a PoW for which if ASICs are developped might see some other uses (unlike all the other hashing algos, which will only ever stay hashing algos).

my wallet is showing an estimated 70,002 blocks, however after 3 days and several attempts, my wallet still has not tried to sync in any way. Still showing 13 weeks behind at 13,806... no change, PLEASE HELP with this. I am using win 32 downloads as that is all that will work. I have tried to start with the .86 software and progress, but that has not worked either.

are you using v0.9.1 binaries? how many active connections to the network do you have? I'll test a clean install in win32 to see if there are any problems...

win32 is slow, but it works. In less than 1 hour it processed blocks 0 to 15000 and it's still going... please check that you have no firewall issues.

[cinnamon_carter]

i will echo what the developer has stated, i have a wallet on the 8.x codebase and one for study on the 9.x codebase,

both are running on windows machines

both take a little time but do synchronize up without issue

[moneytrain88]

 :(Well that just sucks then, because I have shut off firewall completely and it still has not synced anything, blocks of transaction history still continues to go up, but processed stays the same. Not sure what to do at this point, maybe riecoin is not for me, I have had no issues with Primecoin...

[northranger79510]

ok, I did get that right, however at this point I have not done any riecoin mining, so there is no money. I have uninstalled and reinstalled wallet several times, but still no change. I was mining Primecoin and have had no issues with that wallet. Hope this helps, because I really want to start mining.

Interesting. Trying create a .conf file with active peers

It's always possible, and I should be the last person to doubt it, but I haven't heard any whispers about such a thing.  There are several people who've demonstrated that they could build a RIC GPU miner, of course, although I'd hope they'd have observed the XPM frenzy and decided to go with a dev-fee model.

My guess is that what actually happened was that many RIC miners moved to XMR (and other CN coins) for a while, because they were substantially more profitable on CPU.  Now that the GPU miners are starting to emerge for CryptoNight-using-coins, we'll probably see a bit of a return to Riecoin.  It will take a while, because the technical barriers to running CryptoNote coins are high enough that they're still fairly profitable to mine, but over time, they should equalize.  If Claymore releases a faster GPU miner, we'll see an even larger return to Riecoin.

Speaking of which, I'm still sending all dev fees from the miner to Gatra, in case you're wondering what's happening with your voluntary donations and want a little bit of incentive to leave -d enabled at the default level.  Hopefully this will be the best thing for the coin.

well, unfortunately mine has just updated to show 14 weeks behind as opposed to 13... so confused...

have you tried (after backing up wallet.dat) deleting the riecoin folder inside %APPDATA%?

received with much thankfulness

client v0.9.2 will be released soon

[northranger79510]

Any news this Thursday Gatra?

[gatra]

Hi people!

I'm testing the new client v0.9.2. Hopefully we'll have a dmg file for mac os this time.
I've read bitcoiners are testing v0.9.2rc1. Who will release first? we'll see...

High volume on trading today, but the spread on mintpal and poloniex (at the time of writing this post) is big (almost 2x!), I don't dare to interpret what's going on, but we are up on market cap rankings.

Besides the change to openssl 1.0.1h (which bitcoin will also include in their upcoming 0.9.2), these are the changes that I'm merging from btc:

RPC:
Add getwalletinfo, getblockchaininfo and getnetworkinfo calls (will replace hodge-podge getinfo at some point)
Add a relayfee field to getnetworkinfo
Fix RPC related shutdown hangs and leaks
Always show syncnode in getpeerinfo
sendrawtransaction: report the reject code and reason, and make it possible to re-send transactions that are already in the mempool
getmininginfo show right genproclimit

Command-line options:
Fix -printblocktree output
Show error message if ReadConfigFile fails

Block-chain handling and storage:
Fix for GetBlockValue() after block 13,440,000 (BIP42)
Upgrade leveldb to 1.17

Protocol and network code:
Per-peer block download tracking and stalled download detection
Add new DNS seed from bitnodes.io does not apply to RIC
Prevent socket leak in ThreadSocketHandler and correct some proxy related socket leaks

Wallet:
Make GetAvailableCredit run GetHash() only once per transaction (performance improvement)
Lower paytxfee warning threshold from 0.25 BTC to 0.01 BTC
Fix importwallet nTimeFirstKey (trigger necessary rescans)
Log BerkeleyDB version at startup

Build system:
Add OSX build descriptors to gitian
Fix explicit --disable-qt-dbus
Don't require db_cxx.h when compiling with wallet disabled and GUI enabled
Improve missing boost error reporting
Upgrade miniupnpc version to 1.9
gitian-linux: --enable-glibc-back-compat for binary compatibility with old distributions
gitian: don't export any symbols from executable
gitian: build against Qt 4.6
devtools: add script to check symbols from Linux gitian executables
Remove build-time no-IPv6 setting

GUI:
Fix various coin control visual issues
Show number of in/out connections in debug console
Show weeks as well as years behind for long timespans behind
Enable and disable the Show and Remove buttons for requested payments history based on whether any entry is selected.
Show also value for options overridden on command line in options dialog
Fill in label from address book also for URIs
Fixes feel when resizing the last column on tables (issue #2862)
Fix ESC in disablewallet mode
Add expert section to wallet tab in optionsdialog
Do proper boost::path conversion (fixes unicode in datadir)
Only override -datadir if different from the default (fixes -datadir in config file)
Show rescan progress at start-up
Show importwallet progress
Get required locks upfront in polling functions (avoids hanging on locks)
Catch Windows shutdown events while client is running
Optionally add third party links to transaction context menu
Check for !pixmap() before trying to export QR code (avoids crashes when no QR code could be generated)

Miscellaneous:
Replace non-threadsafe C functions (gmtime, strerror and setlocale)
Add missing cs_main and wallet locks
Avoid exception at startup when system locale not recognized
Changed bitrpc.py's raw_input to getpass for passwords to conceal characters during command line input tool not adapted for ric
devtools: add a script to fetch and postprocess translations tool not adapted for ric

the command line option for enabling the xpt server (for solo mining with xpt miners) will probably not be ready for 0.9.2...

why  someone buy a lot @ a very high price.

hi there!

just a thought I wanted to share: maybe instead of having a riecoin "rich list", I'd prefer we call it "hall of fame".
This seeks to avoid the negative connotation sometimes associated with the rich ("eat the rich", the 99%, etc). People who have more RIC are also those who are more invested in our distributed research project. People brag about their BOINC or seti@home credit, and it may be good for the project if they felt the same way about RIC.
After all, riecoin is a distributed computing research project (somewhat) like most on BOINC, it just happens to be the case that it also supports secure transactions which makes it work as a currency too.

So, this was just a message to those who compile Riecoin "rich lists". Who does? I know chainz.cryptoid.info has one. There's another one at darmstadt.goxadidi.dk

thanks!

Hey Gatra,

I am thinking the Riecoin Foundation should donate all of our funds to you right now instead of keeping it stale for a while until our members (including me) have time to work on projects. What do you think?
