The Cypherfunks[FUNK]: a coin for a global band! Talking v2. Join! 80+ songs

[florianuhlemann]

Guess what I've been working on!

A p2pool node scanner! Since we've got some more nodes coming up, we need to make sure there's a proper list!

Please consider donating some BTC 1HLstfdaXpV48BnTpG1zKRrZaRFXmAezeU
It's been hard work!

not completed yet, but it's in a working state and is only missing a few things like sorting, ping times and local hashrates.

EDIT: local hashrates (local_nonstale_hashrates) and version numbers are added. global speed is global_nonstale_hashrate.
EDIT2: Aaaaaaand it now features a daily global hashrate chart enjoy! time to go to bed bow^^

I don't have photoshop skills but I made a logo concept in Paint. If anyone likes it they can spice it up in a better editor.

The concept is to have input nodes representing the decentralized community coming together and producing one collective output (the soundwaves).

[neuroMode]

So as I see it we should add a few more bounties:

1) Android Wallet - Obvious for obvious reasons.

2) IRC Channel Bot - For #cypherfunks on freenode.
Functions should at least include: !tip !exchanges !bounties !pools !tunes !price !community

3) Youtube Tipper Bot - Either through a G+ page and subdomains that run the wallets (ala Coinye Bot here) OR like how the Doge Chrome Extension (found here)

4) CypherFunk Flyers - Should be very appealing to the eye with brief explanations of the concept of Cypherfunk and cryptocurrencies in general. Should also have relevant links and a QR code of the most relevant link (so we can tape them up in public places!)

5) Various Desktop Wallet "Themes" or "Skins" - This is so each Cypherfunk user can customize the wallets to their favorite type of music. For example, I love house and drum and bass music so it would be really cool to switch to a theme that features this type of music.

6) Well-written articles and blogs about The Cypherfunks - For positive exposure

7+) Something brand new that no other cryptocurrency has done/tried before - The best way to stand out in this sea of altcoins is to experiment with a new service or tool that no other coin has tried before.

8 ) Get our first well-known band, dj, producer, etc. to join the Cypherfunks and release a track!

  nice .watching it.

Congratulations everyone. Here's the result of the giveaway!

Took a little longer than expected, but didn't want the huge miner to get all your bonus FUNKs that were intended to make smaller miners happy

I like these concepts! Will try and work with them

Also: new songs are out! https://soundcloud.com/groups/the-cypherfunks.

15 songs have been released now!

so interesting and good music.

Just a comment. I don't think the current website of www.thecypherfunks.com helps anybody that gets there. not enough information on what it is, why he should get involved, etc. (sent soundcloud and homepage links to an old friend that's been into electronic music for quite some time now)

It's difficult to pack everything into one page, so I thought the homepage is just a teaser. Then the curious could follow the rabbit hole down further.

Definitely open to changes. Any ideas to improve it?

AGREED! :-D

so I thought the homepage is just a teaser. Then the curious could follow the rabbit hole down further.

Umm, what rabbit hole? That was my problem. Got to the site and was looking for further infos on articles like "what is a crypto currency" or "how to get involved" .. links to your blog. just didn't see anything else besides the video.

(bootstrap navbar with important links? navbar-bottom or such maybe?)

P.S. http://94.23.196.92:8080 is now almost done. sortable tables are completed. only "ping" is left and I'm stuck at the moment how to implement it^^

Oh. Do you mean, the links get obscured by the video? In other words, the links should be more visible? That could definitely help.

Make them more pronounced. Seems like I've read across them

Yeah. Agreed. Will improve it tomorrow!

Code:

Here's something for the small miners I've been reading on in the past.

You can "request" a fixed lower share difficulty with the p2pool software.

Calculate it by multiplying your hashrate with the fixed constant.
Example: your cgminer does 320KH/s on average: 320 * 0.00000372 = 0.0011904

How do you do that now?

When you set your worker/username to be "CNkzbJuJVwqMt4QKtcJL7pBCSECwc3zrwn" for example, you just add it to the end. Like so:

CNkzbJuJVwqMt4QKtcJL7pBCSECwc3zrwn+0.0011904

This will be your new username and allows you to request a fixed share that will help you keep submitting constant shares even if the p2pool network hashrate spikes or keeps climbing.
Let me know how that treats you! I'd like to see some feedback on that!

That formula is adjusted to give you approximately 7-8 pseudoshares per cypherfunksblock (120s) so one share every 16s.
A pseudoshare is the lower difficulty share that attributes to the activity of your miner.
Payout is calculated by the higher "real" share of which each adds to the payout you get.
Due to the PPLNS system, variance is very low due to the system taking a pretty wide average on the found shares.

EDIT: Feel free to experiment, I'm going to play around with that and a slower gpu to see how it effects the mining in general.

This generally works and will keep your miner's difficulty fixed.

here's some general values.

(reported min share diff in cgminer = append this to your username with +0.00048828)
32 = 0.00048828
64 = 0.00097656
128 = 0.00195313

P.S. way too many blocks found with 275kh/s while testing 3 or 4 in like 10 minutes

Hi, what is the total number of this coin, or no limit??

Thanks! I've only actually got about 30kh in cudaminer on a terrible Nvidia card in total, and this has stopped the miner from spamming up my crappy network connection with pointless shares, and my hash rate seems to be less prone to randomly dropping too! Is the fixed multiplier the same for any hashing algorithm, or is there some kind of calculation to work it out for a particular coin?

Well, it's for scrypt and adjusted to submit a share every 16seconds, so whenever it's a little different, yeah, probably. (I've calculated the factor for you guys)

Cypherfunks is a fair coin with 2minutes block time therefor lets you submit shares without too much hurry and gives you a fair chance. faster coins would need a lower difficulty then.

Ok cool, much appreciated, and useful to know. What's the formula? I mine a number of coins on a number of algorithms, so I'd be interested to know :-)

On another note, I just made a post about Cypherfunk over on my FB page - I haven't got a huge readership, but all publicity is good publicity I guess :-)

Sweet. Thanks! Also added your pool to the frontpage.

[florianuhlemann]

Well formula is basics

time in seconds = (difficulty * 2^32) / hash rate in H/s

Real difficulty! Like as reported by get info. Cgminer uses a multiplier of 65536 for scrypt difficulties when reporting. (Mainly because scrypt is about 1/1000 of sha hash power.)
