Start Spreading The Hash Guys

Agreed, this is nothing against hashrapid, but we should be spreading it to different pools. I am on lifeforce and have been doing rather well for a smaller pool.

The only trusted pool I found here on EMC2 was suprnova.cc

OP, why are you asking people to spread out their hash power?  Is one of the pools taking control?

Thanks to all who have used CryptoALTeX to buy or sell EMC2.  We are continually working to drive new customers to our site, which should help increase traffic for all coins on our site.  If you could spread the word about our new Get Listed program, we would greatly appreciate it.  Details below.

 
Want your favorite coin listed on CryptoALTeX?

Welcome to CryptoALTeX's Get Listed Program

The Get Listed program offers some unique ways to get a coin listed.  Each registered user gets 1 vote per day for their coin.  You can also donate .001BTC to your coins posted address on our "Get Listed" page.


Each vote or .001BTC donation generates a "Chance" at being listed. The coin with the most chances after 3 days will automatically be listed on our site. The remaining coins that have a minimum of 100 chances will have their chances entered into a random selection which we will live stream and record. The coin that wins, will be listed. All unselected chances will roll over to the next drawing.

This means that the big money coins won't always win, giving the little guy a chance. 

Want your coin added? Please enter a ticket at https://cryptoaltex.freshdesk.com with some information about your coin and we will generate a deposit address and place your coin into the contest!

Next drawing: Wednesday at 8PM UTC

Please visit, https://www.cryptoaltex.com/index.php?page=newcoin to see the current coins and votes.

CryptoALTeX reserves the right to list any coin at any time regardless of the drawing. Any coin listed for trading on CryptoALTeX that is already part of the drawing will have its chances removed from the drawing. In the event CryptoALTeX decides to list the top two coins of the week, the other coins will still have a random drawing.


Thanks all and feedback is always welcome,

Chiznitz

This is why I am debating to continue mining EMC2 or switch to EdisonX3 when it launches because I can earn a bounty and start mining on a few reliable pools. The only trusted pool I found here on EMC2 was suprnova.cc  - OP, why are you asking people to spread out their hash power?  Is one of the pools taking control?

Hi Diana,

Right now hashrapid is close. I moved a few rigs earlier and back to suprnova they went.

It would be nice to see others do the same. We need to spread it out over many pools or even better... Mine on the p2p pool.

Spread the hash rate and mine with the Crunch Harder Einsteinium Pool for security, redundancy and stability.

Fear of a possible attack. That could be the only reason.
Also it would deter a few miners if the mining power would be concentrated in one place.

I switched from HR to P2P. Only 1.8% less payout in the first 24h. The payouts take way longer since P2P is smaller and it takes longer to find blocks but the payouts are waaay bigger since there isn't as much people.
Payout 24h HR 8207emc2
Payout 24h P2P 8078...
First 3h got me scared because I got no payout but then it started to roll in. As long as theres not too high nethash or more people will switch to P2P you're good.

edit: ping to the P2P node you're on is pretty important! Means: If you are EU dont mine on US P2P nodes.

I switched my workers from Suprnova to Lifeforce and the results are:

Wormhole event has started or Suprnova is definitely stealing our Einsteinium mates..

We need more hash power !

What's your hashrate?

The only trusted pool?  So now there are no trusted pools left is what you are saying?  Maybe we should all solo...

P2Pool is the answer !!!

Hi Everyone,

Just signed up to post but I've been following this and mining since about 3 days after launch. I'm a big fan of science and therefore I hope this coin does really well. Big news today about the observation of gravity waves; potential for Nobel prizes if that all checks out. But probably not the kind of science in need of funding at this point...

I've only got my old gaming rig with a 5850 to mine with but I'm giving it all I've got (which is about 0.33MH/s). For science!

I'm interested in seeing how the first round of funding goes and what type of science gets chosen. I think someone previously mentioned that it wouldn't be something being commercialised but more towards the research side of things. I understand the foundation is going to provide more guidance on this soon and filter down the nominated projects. Either way I'm keen to see how it all goes. I personally hope our funding goes towards something where it can make a difference. So I guess that counts out things like ITER for now I see a lot of articles come out on research that has the potential to improve life as we know it but it seems to take so long to reach implementation. Hopefully we can speed some of that along.

Some of my favourite topic areas are physics, alternative energy, chemistry, regenerative medicine...

Here are some recent links:
http://phys.org/news/2014-03-bionic-synthetic-nanoparticles-photosynthetic.html
http://phys.org/news/2014-03-nanoscale-optical-miniaturization-barrier.html#nRlv
http://phys.org/news/2014-03-battery-power-next-gen-electric-vehicles.html
http://phys.org/news/2014-01-ultra-high-volumetric-energy-density-lithium-sulfur.html#nRlv

Huge potential there. Are these are the sort of things that might benefit from funding?

Also, if anyone is interested and doesn't know about it there's a facebook group that provides information on science developments (I'm not affiliated, I'm just a fan). it's called "I fxxxing love science" <-- but uses the actual adult word (I'm not sure about the language rules here)

P.S.
I'm planning on joining a P2P pool but I'm not sure about a few things.
1. I'm in Australia and the best latency node is a US one with about 170ms. Is that worthwhile? (I'm not keen on setting up my own node)
2. I've got cgminer 3.7.2 can I just adjust the batch file like so:

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

cgminer --scrypt -I 16 -g 1 -w 128 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 775 --gpu-memclock 1125 --auto-fan --thread-concurrency 7200 -o stratum+tcp://p2pool.einsteinium.org:41876 -u EXY2zCqc4rXWJ8uS2KqcLtee7N9zAGMitA -p x

Keep my other settings? Or should I not set hardware options?
I don't need a failover? (I think this one is automatic)
There was something about setting a difficulty?

Good Morning Einsteinamites,

While all of you were fast asleep the einsteinium team has been hard at work putting the pieces of the puzzle together in the background. We hope to be releasing a promo video in the next day or so, we should be listed on coinwarz any day now, thanks to getting listed on www.poloniex.com We also got listed on Prelude by Moolah https://prelude.io/ as one of the very first coins in their beta lunch. For those of you who don't know Moolah will be the next bitpay so keep an eye open for some future announcements.  


Were speaking to some interested buyers who are looking to purchase the coins from this epoch.

We'll be selling approx 375K EMC2. Were obviously looking for a good price and to not tank the market. These coins are going to fund science so every penny counts my friends.

If you are interested in making an offer on the coins fell free to contact me personally via PM to discuss a possible arrangement.

Happy Mining!

Hey AkaSam. 170 ms isn't too high to enjoy p2pool. The general rule is you want your reject rate/doa (dead on arrival) to be lower than the global pool. Essentially that means you will not be docked any penalties for having too many rejects. If it gets too high, higher than the global rate, then you may see reduced payouts.

You can see your reject rate on the p2pool node you are using. You may want to set up a failover type --failover-only after each pool you enter. Each pool needs a -o -u and -p. hopefully this makes sense.

As far as difficulty. I do quick math and take what each of my cards can hit kh/s wise, and multiply it by 0.00000116 so at 295 kh/s I get  0.0003422. Your card can hit 330, great job hitting that by the way! So you would get 0.0003828. Now take that number and add it to the end of your emc2 address you use as the username or -u. So it looks like this "emc2addressblahblahsojdjRandom+0.0003828" set -p to anything.  Then as long as your -o is correct, you are good to go.

That just smooths out the numbers a bit, and keeps you from getting higher difficulties than your card can easily handle. I read everywhere that it may have no effect on payout, but in general I feel like I get paying shares in quicker which is better.

Hope this helps! Science rules!

This will lower the price a lot.

[derbrause]

"(...)We'll be selling approx 375K EMC2. Were obviously looking for a good price and to not tank the market.(...)"

I think it will raise the value as the awareness by publicity will hit :-)

[Timespace]

Here are my personal thoughts, so take them with some salt.

It may be difficult to sell 375k emc2 all at once. There is not enough volume in trading to make the sale happen in less than 2 days right now. I would love to get in on the sale, but I don't have much buying power currently. Also, I am afraid dumping that much would have a generally negative impact especially if buyers know it is coming.

When I think about the proposition if the winner may want to take the emc2 or what the emc2 is worth, it makes sense to me.  If they want the emc2 they get a chance to use whatever shops/services (coming soon I hope!) or exchanges to convert either into bitcoin, or fiat. And if they choose not to, then they should be funded the money at an agreed rate, but the devs get to hold onto the emc2 that would have been sent. They can hold this emc2 until the price rises and use the difference to make up for the fiat cost, and have extra to put towards funding Einsteinium. This may not work, and certainly isn't perfect, but being open about it is the best way. Maybe have the funds made public so that we can all see the smart choices made by the devs.

I am probably way off base and this is marketing emc2 and not the winnings. Or some other amount. Either way, this sale should be made public. That way people can get a good understanding of the value of Einsteinium. The buyer should be generous enough to maybe take more than market price because it is such a large volume at this current state and anything below or even at market value may move the market into a downtrend. I have no experience with this, just my personal thoughts!

By the way, I love what Moolah has done, and I am filled with joy to see him adopting Emc2 into his projects!

We need to make this thunderclap happen.
