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

[wakawakalj]

So I haven't really had time to follow this at all, due to school and whatnot. Heck, I didn't really even know about the hard fork until after it happened (good idea & I like the implementation as well thus far btw).

But... why is it that if Riecoin has broken the 6-tuple record, that I don't find anything on the first 5 pages of Google about it? Was there some sort of press release prepared and sent out? I feel like this is the kind of thing that should have been fairly highly publicized - at least a few places would have picked it up, even if you did up a fairly simple release and just shotgunned it everywhere even remotely relevant.

Of course, it's possible I've missed something. In which case feel free to tell me to go back to lurking.

I can't help but agree.

Now it's proven to work it would be great to see some news articles posting news about it and telling people how they can get involved in the next super block to break this current world record.

When is the next superblock?

You're right!
The next super block is at block number 164880, and there will one per week (ie once every 4032 blocks). They are expected on mondays but this actually depends on the probabilistic behavior of the network, so it can happen anytime, but there is a zone of maximum probability around mondays.
Now that the record has been independently verified and acknowledged, it would be really helpful if someone could point me to a list of sites that are "even remotely relevant".

Thanks and regards,

No doubt the world records breaking by the Riecoin Project is an impressive computational feat. And I think partly the lack of deserving (general) press releases was overshadowed by benchmark of finding largest prime number such as the EFF Cooperative Computing Awards (See: https://www.eff.org/awards/coop) More importantly these world records certainly do help and provided deeper understanding of prime number structure (or its randomness) for solving the CMI Millennium Prize Problems - Riemann Hypothesis (See: http://www.claymath.org/millennium-problems)

Ultimately media attention will gain its traction as more (... and bigger) world records breaking were contributed and came from the Riecoin Project. Everybody can help achieve all these...so start and keep mining away. The first superblock was 160848 and their set should be

As layman I think it's appropriately prepared and can be easily understood. Below are just my own personal taste, etc.

"The calculation took only 70 minutes of its massive distributed computing power,"

"In this context, innovators in the field of cryptography and virtual currencies delved into the concept of systems that could secure their transactions and at the same time doing valuable scientific computations than just hash functions. Riecoin is one such endeavor and it calculates prime sextuplets every 2.5 minutes."

"thus these results are interesting to researchers of number theory and other applied fields."

thanks! I updated it!

you motherfxxker .you scam on volatility coin.you never honor your promise so i wanna know if you are so buy in having sex with you mother and sister?

Going around posting in a wrong thread with insulting words won't do anybody any good – more so if peoples in this thread who are confused by it. Be done with the problem you have on your VolatilityCoin. See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=776463

sorry for my fury.i just warn you guys .you guys should pay attention to this promiseless and foul shit.sorry again for my 4 letter words/

Can someone post some fresh nodes? Can't connect, even with latest client.

I cant sync the wallet already two days, very very very slow!!!

I'm not good at troubleshooting these kind of problems that could be unique and localized only to individual setup. But in the mean time if a wallet is all you needed for interim transactions and don't mind the one that hosted online – Try https://wallet.ypool.net/index You might want too check out mining for Riecoin on Google Cloud (while free trial last for 60 days) - See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855564

Above might not be a permanent solution but I hope your problems would be sorted out.

The press release looks good. To be honest, I don't know which sites/news outlets would be best to carpet bomb with it, as I don't really follow much in the way of math/prime number/altcoin news. But I would recommend at the very least slashdot, hackernews, phys.org, sciencedaily, the primes.utm.edu mailing list, ams, maa, scientificamerican.

Probably also cryptocoinsnews, coindesk, altcoinpress, /r/altcoin/, altcoinfever, altcoinspeculation, altcointoday, altcoinweekly, any others I may have missed. These are just the first altcoin news sites I was able to find on google, so are probably the ones that would be more likely to pop up for anyone else who doesn't really follow the stuff too closely.

I'm sure there are many more that people with much more knowledge than I could mention.

IIRC, dga is an associate professor at CMU? Perhaps a modified version mentioning his assistance with the project could be submitted (with his approval of course) for them to release?

I'll push it to my university and various clubs and people I know who might be interested in such things, see if I can't get a little momentum there.

EDIT: Might be an idea to make sure the website is updated with the most current info before sending out the release. If it gains traction there might be a significant spike in traffic and people interested in the coin, wanting to mine, etc.

Check the explorer's network tab:

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ric/#!network

For each client version you can find the node list of the wallets seen by the explorer's wallet during the last 24h, so it's always fresh, just copy-paste to your conf file.

Appeared ok, could only spot some minor missing punctuation.

Maybe you could place it in Google Docs so people could annotate directly?
- well maybe not for this release but for the next one

Nice

What is a rough figure of the number of cpu cores mining right now?

[Ellieo]

As expected and a fabulous welcoming news...more!!!

Besides the press releases, I think the Riecoin Project also deserved a certificate from Guinness World Records if it able to maintains the 6-tuples Prime world records breaking momentum for few more rounds, etc. Certainly an eye opener for the masses and the prestigious recognition would puts Riecoin Project into history as largest and most successful distributed computing project of finding prime numbers for research and applied sciences, etc.

Value your coins and be proud of what you all did – Riecoin Miners!

Compared to an i5 notebook @1.7 GHz, it's about 33000 threads. Give or take 50%

[fairglu]

Gorgeous!

This starts a new world record: number of world records consecutively broken, which is now at 2 

Making to Guinness would be huge
