[RE-ANN] Galaxycoin Revival! KGW, POS/POW hybrid [TRADING ON CRYPTSY]

[icecube45]

Is the coin completely revived or is still in zombie state?

We're like a human missing a heart right now,
We're all ready to be fully revived, but we need more nodes on the new fork

Did a multipool jump on this coin? In the space of a few minutes, difficulty increased more than 400 times, from 0.01833996 to 8.52404643. Roughly doubling each block. Now nothing has been found for 30 mins.

edit: I see we're not far past the KGW fork, and 10 blocks in <4 mins isn't overly excessive, so it shouldn't be pushing diff up anywhere close to that much. Is something broken?

[ckoeber]

Putting the early block chain as a zip file was pure genius. I am going to suggest that in every coin forum that I belong to.

when I ran  ./galaxycoinlinux.sh  the code did not compile. In fact, it deleted the code, after it downloaded it from git. At least there was nothing in the galycoin directory except for .git

I will post a page, and post in the forum, directions for getting it to build on debian, and ubuntu. It is really easy to build.

I had built the daemon from source, but it got hung on block 19000 something. I am assuming there was a fork there, and a lot of old servers are posting orphan nodes. The zip file was magic. Now it all works.

THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

You're welcome; the script has a lot of dependencies so I am glad you tested it to let me know what work needs to be done.

The edits for the script going forward will be to handle such dependencies.

They sure did; Network hashrate is now at 1.09~ GH/s according to my pool software.

They sure did; Network hashrate is now at 1.09~ GH/s according to my pool software.

I'm guessing Tom's pool

The hashrate would be based on the difficulty, right? As I mentioned above in my edit, the massive increase in difficulty does not seem to correlate with the actual time between blocks.

Expected in 3 1/2 minutes: 7
Actual in 3 1/2 minutes: 10

So a 42% overshoot... not a 46000% overshoot.

In addition, the price on Cryptsy looks fairly stable, so there wasn't a sudden change in value that would cause a multipool to jump in. So why has difficulty shot up so much?

Folks with knowledge of the KGW algorithm may want to chime in here; my understanding with difficulty changes with KGW implemented factor in hashrates.

So with KGW the next block's difficulty will be much higher regardless of the previous block's difficulty if there is a massive amount of hashrate.

This is unlike previous calculation mechanisms which only factor in the time that the blocks have been found.

Again, this is just my understanding which may be mistaken.

[almightyruler]

Difficulty has doubled again to 16.93520253.

[icecube45]

I'm loving the active forum topic!
I'm seeing a lot of new names, which I love!
Lets see if we can watch the price grow a bit, so that it becomes profitable to mine

[supercodebunny]

Could someone give me the formulae for generation time which uses both difficulty and proof of stake?

I know the old formula  2^32 / hashrate.

Are pools at a disadvantage, since they send their coins to the pool participants?

Thanks

No doubt, but we also need to solve a few lingering issues.

Tomorrow and the next days ahead we need to start hounding the various exchanges and difficulty monitors so that they know to properly update their clients.

Short answer, yes.

The PoW calculation directly depends on how much coins you have and how long you had them; when people withdraw their coins that will lower your "new mint" amount.

A developer more intimate with the code will have to answer that one; I don't know the exact formula.

Nah my pools hashrate is nothing like that, is there a block explorer? This very moment I'm at block 249841, I'd like to make sure I'm on the right chain as I'm not too sure I am!

On another pool, I'm seeing the last block found as 256000.

Difficulty seems to have settled down from the extreme 16 earlier, although I can see it is still changing rapidly... here's a 1024 times increase (!) in less than 6 minutes:

17-Mar-2014 02:40:29 height: 256160  mint: 64  difficulty: 0.0007302  flags: proof-of-work  tx: 1

17-Mar-2014 02:46:13 height: 256170  mint: 64  difficulty: 0.74774086  flags: proof-of-work  tx: 2

Then a few minutes later it's back down to 0.00410079. It seems to be a fairly steady pattern of rapid increase, slow decay.

Any word on getting cryptsy onto the new fork?
