[ANN] PYRITE | $PYE | POW/POS HYBRID | SHA256Q | FAIR LAUNCH | NO PREMINE |

Not mineble on fair launch?

This coin launched a few days ago. Ann was posted 16 blocks in. What CPU is that? Hashrate seems low....

Ryzen 1800x @ 3.8Ghz \ miner gold.

Use cpuminer-opt. I don't think the other miner is optimized at all for Ryzen, it's very old.

did you clone the repo or download from releases? you need to clone it.

Looks like net hashrate went x10 very quickly. Did someone figure out a GPU miner?

this have already pool for mining ?
why diff is so high ?
i dont get block, just days one when release wallet i got block

until now i dont get block

I don't know. Maybe someone has set up a private pool; Maybe it's just a lot of processing power that joined because thread kept getting bumped today, or maybe there is a gpu miner that someone made. I can report that cpuminer-opt gets +-12MH/s on my 4-core processor, but until there is a pool I don't have a chance with it.

Probably because 7 blocks were found in 15 minutes.

Edit: My point is, it could be a coincidence, but considering it has been 29 minutes since the last block, I am thinking it was just bad luck.

I know you weren't trying to be cheeky.

its normal or not sir ?

Pyrite coin added to pool  http://plant-pool.net

Pool fee 1%, Minimum payment 1 coin.

cpuminer -a sha256q -o stratum+tcp://plant-pool.net:3033 -u WALLET -p x

Thank you! Will add to OP.

Nice, without miner binaries for windows

I'll get on that once I fix my dependencies after cross-compiling a windows wallet for you. It's a separate science, you know.

sense to compile cpuminer can't see. there need ccminer, this is not a CPU coin

I managed to dig up a standalone miner for sha256q algo.

I found it here: https://github.com/bitbaba/bitgold following the link to pre-built miner

It works on testnet with the following params:

Code:

minerd.exe -a sha256q -o http://127.0.0.1 -u "my username" -p "my password" -q --no-gbt

Of course with a pyrite.conf file set up accordingly.

Am currently running it on two machines on mainnet. Will report back if I hit anything

Interesting. I didn't even know that someone's done Q before. Did you find anything with it? I added my fork of cpuminer-opt to GitHub.

I was going to set up a pool, but I don't have time to maintain it. I had yiimp running briefly today, but it took so much effort that I am not looking forward to being on standby in case something goes wrong with it. I'd rather focus on the coin itself. Maybe someone else will set one up on their existing platform?!

I don't know anything about that other coin. i simply googled sha256q.

Now I can confirm that this minerd that I am testing has hit me one block of pyrite.

I take it that whatever you are using is actually better/faster since this one is really old.

I can try and speak to someone about making a pool but I need to know if you think this will be only cpu or eventually also gpu mineable? Different target audience

Oh I see. I think a GPU miner is coming. Wouldn't qualify this coin as CPU only even at this point. Maybe there is one in the wild for that other coin?! I can look at making one for nvidia.

As mentioned before. It was never declared as a cpu-only coin. Mining started in-wallet, then cpu miner, next progression is gpu...then maybe even fpga, who knows.

you are misleading people, this is not a CPU coin at all

[pyritepirate]

Misleading who exactly? The only mislead person at the moment is you, sir.

[rplant8]

well, the pool is working, we'll see

[pyritepirate]

Yes, thanks for the pool. I will work on a gpu miner, since I gather that whoever made one isn't willing to share...
