Howdy, folks.
I'm just getting started on mining in BTQ, and I was hoping if y'all could answer a couple of quick questions.
1) Is there a "known good" CentOS build procedure? I took a shot at getting the Github BitQuark-0.8.3.8-r16 to build on CentOS release 5.10 and it's not playing well.
2) I've got a miner set up on my relatively capable gaming PC, and pooling via btq.ext-pool.net. It's 3-core Atlalon IIX3 445 (3.1Ghz); I'm CPU mining. However, all I seem to be seeing on my dashboard at ext-pool is "0 BTQ / Immature" ... no payouts have landed at my waller. Am I reading that wrong, or after 12h of mining am I still chewing on unverified chains?
3) Because of the company I run, I have several "headless" servers that a CPU-mined coin like BTQ is very interesting to me. Can anyone recommend a CPU-based BTQ miner that is "known good" on CentOS 5 or 6? I'll likely have at least one "permanent / public" node up at all times if I can get this working.
Shoutouts to BitQuark & ZeroFossilFuels ... thanks very much for all you're doing in your respective spaces.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Thanks, Michel. I have tried installing the daemon on CentOS 6.5 that I put on my wife's laptop only because it was the only linux OS that had native support for the Broadcom wireless adapter in it. PIMA, really. The install attempt was a complete bust for me but I'm no wiz when it comes to Linux. I barely scrape by. I had played with Red Hat a long time ago when I was first testing the Linux waters to ween myself away from winblows. It's not nearly as consumer friendly as Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives. I gave up on it. If you succeed I hope you'll post the method you used. You'll probably have to wait for .deb installers and convert to .rpm for CentOS unless you can take the source code and make .deb yourself. Best of luck! Why would someone go on the exchange and sell for half the current price? Damn dumpers...smh
A lot of very short sighted children playing this game right now. Very soon they will see the error of their ways. Thankfully they have very short attention spans. Z |

2) I've got a miner set up on my relatively capable gaming PC, and pooling via btq.ext-pool.net. It's 3-core Athalon IIX3 445 (3.1Ghz); I'm CPU mining. However, all I seem to be seeing on my dashboard at ext-pool is "0 BTQ / Immature" ... no payouts have landed at my wallet. Am I reading that wrong, or after 12h of mining am I still chewing on unverified chains?
Answering my own post here, but I wanted to let folks know that the first payments from btq.ext-pool.net arrived late last night. So, it took nearly 36h of mining before I had been in the pool for a full round and thus got counted in on the shares. So, for anyone else new and just getting started, just be patient and let it run. Expect a 1 to 2 day "donation window" of mining before you get into a round. Even with three miners accounting for ~75% of a block by themselves, there is still room for the "little guy" chewing some spare cycles on his PC. Doing nothing more than "small and idle" mining on my system, this morning there was 2.5BTQ waiting for me. The reality check on that statement is that 1BTQ = $0.01USD as of this morning. Like any other Crypto Coin, this is not a "get rich for nothing" arrangement. |

Good morning, Z! Thanks for the reply. I'll keep messing with it and I'll post if / when I hit some success. I have a battery of xeon-based video conferencing servers that sit idle 8h plus a development server that is low-load about 20h a day that I CPU miner or even a wallet miner could likely do OK on. I'll see if I can't come up with an install how-to for CentOS and post it up where folks can try/ verify it. I agree that RH/Cent are behind the curve on end-user ergonomics. They are really more focused on the business server side of things. If you want to spin up a good Linux desktop experience "easily" then Ubuntu is absolutely the way to go.

The hashrate is accurate, but the estimated payout on the "pool" page isn't accurate at all. |

Thanks Michel. I'm somewhat new to Linux and I have really only used Ubuntu. If I can find any helpful info, I'll post it on here for you. |

Well, I'm running between 80 and 150 Kh/s and during USA daylight hours, that's not enough to hit a payout. I was processing fast enough between about midnight ADT to about 11am ADT to hit 3 BTQ ... but once the mid-west woke up, I'm not hashing fast enough to register. So, AVG(80,150) = 115KH/s * 11h * 3600s/h /1 000 000 = 4.5MH 3.3BTQ / 4.5MH = ~0.73 BTQ/MH ... so you'd think that 14MH would net you around 10BTQ per day. Check my math; I'm lousy at it. |

I'm hitting 7-10 blocks per hour solo mining with 3* 750ti's (9 mh/s). So 420-600 BTQ daily, I was just curious how the pools paid out compared to solo.

Same here....I've found that if you are GPU mining, then it's best to solo mine. I'm running four R9-280X GPU's and I'm get about the same as you 7-10 blocks per hour. |

One R9-280x, two HD7950, 6.3Mh/s combined AMD plus two GT640 at 1.6Mh/s combined, 7.9Mh's total, about 5 blocks an hour solo.

I've been solo and pool mining 24/7 since the launch on Feb 22 and I've only accumulated just over 17,000 BTQ's so far (current value ~$340 USD) :-)

We have a small, but very strong community!!! |

Why did air-pool.net drop BTQ? Somebody piss him off? See for yourself. Not on the list. https://air-pool.net/Hmmm...not sure what happened to air-pool.net I will see if I can contact the person running it and see what they say happened. Maybe cuz there weren't many miners on there??? |

Maybe cuz there weren't many miners on there??? No, he STILL doesn't have many miners there. But he's also not P2pool anymore. He went all MPOS. That's okay with me too but he forgot something. |
