★★ [ANN] ECCoin (ECC) ★★★ ECCoin - Green Future FORK FIXED UPGRADE NEEDED

I saw a working-hard dev, but without a strong community.
It's really hard to go further withou a good community.

PoW:
- Random 100000 - 300000 coins per block for the first 45 days evenly distribution

I think you probably need to make the reward a constant 200000 coins per block and do it quickly. Given the way the net hash keeps jumping around recently, it looks like big hash is jumping in to cherry-pick the high reward blocks. That's the same problem DOGE had and is why they hard forked just now to make their reward constant. It's not fair to those of us who are mining constantly to have someone else come in and cherry-pick the high-reward blocks.

This is the last 20 blocks mined at the ECC - Cloudminers pool. Note how few blocks they have been able to find today that were > 200000 ECC.

And yes, even though the reward is supposed to be random, as soon as a block is solved, it's possible to calculate the reward for the next bock. See "Something is rotten in the state of DOGE mining" for a description of the problem as it occurred with Dogecoins. I would be very surprised if ECC somehow did things differently.

BTW, I shortened someone's ID in the table to make the columns line up better. The table is here, but may change by the time you look at it.

Can someone verify if this is a problem with ECCHouse? They are so large it couldn't be just a matter of luck if it shows up there. I don't have an account with them and they don't provide that information to the public. The average reward for the last 24 hours would be great to know. For ECC - Cloudminers, it was about 157,000, instead of 200,000.

And this is my only problem with this coin.  I do not mine any coin that has so called "random" rewards, period.

Don't think multipools will profit the differences on the random blocks here, the differences too small, and jumping in out not worth it.

Don't think multipools will profit the differences on the random blocks here, the differences too small, and jumping in out not worth it.

They were definitely doing it with DOGE. Granted, DOGE rewards could go all the way down to 0, while with ECC the lowest is 33% of the maximum. Keep in mind that it doesn't cost them anything to switch. They just need something else that they think is more profitable to switch to. All they need is a slight reason to do it, and that's enough.

Also, it's possible to game KGW in order to cheat. I don't fully understand it, but it involves faking the times when blocks are found somehow. That's why DOGE went to something else to set the difficulty.

But if it's not showing up at ECCHouse, and it looks like it's not, then there probably isn't a problem. That's the problem with randomness. It's so damned random!

Great, let's spread the word,we need more  Hash!

And it was a race to drive it into the dirt. Down to 0.00000003 BTC and will hit 0.00000001 BTC by the morning. Looks like they will be a LTC trade.

It was driven into the dirt. Someone is selling for 0.00000030 LTC

Thanks i am checking on it if necessary i will update, I am afraid those one of pools may do some strange tactics. I prepare our official pool for the next week. We can there better see what looks like a good pool.
