[ANN][2POW] Luck - A new consensus algorithm to eliminate large mining pools

[miner2251]

When browsing homepage I cannot see any signatures or hashes that can be used to confirm that binary is correctly downloaded. Where I can verify it?

Edit: is my SHA-256 of the file correct for linux binary?

Code:

$ sha256sum luck

I was able to download the wallet. Mining works now, I found a block few mins back.

[Sherlock.Holmes]

I am very sorry for the troubles caused by the problem of downloading the wallet. Your enthusiasm has exceeded our expectations.
Current network is basically sufficient after upgraded.
Later we will put the wallets on other third-party platforms.

hey there guys,

i hope its ok and the dev accepts it but i just created a new discord server for Luck.

I guess its a lot better in terms of communication etc.

Feel free to join.

Still waiting for sources, but meanwhile I analyzed binary files a bit and found out that the code comes from https://github.com/luck/go-luck, but this repository is probably non-public. Just getting ASCII strings from binary revealed a lot of things, but I need more digging to get something meaningful without having access to the source code.

Hi,

Just downloaded Linux wallet from https://lucknet.club/wallets/luck, and started mining.
Wallet synced, so i started mining, BUT, i have mined 3 blocks, and now my balance is 30000------000 (more zeros than i can count basically) I think perhaps your wallet is broken, either that or i somehow hit the "jackpot"

Thoughts?

join the community discord i opened recently.

had the same issue

your node is just not fully synced

[miner2251]

The smallest unit is 0.000,000,000,000,000,001 and you are getting results in these smallest units. Drop last 18 zeros and you will get the actual number of coins before decimal dot.

Edit:

your node is just not fully synced

It depends. If "net.peerCount" is nonzero and "fort.syncing" is true, then you will have to wait to get fully synced. Otherwise, if "net.peerCount" is nonzero and "fort.syncing" is false, then you probably have all blocks. You can also compare "fort.blockNumber" with the number of blocks you can see in a block explorer.

So the block reward is only 1 coin?

It is 1.000,000,000,000,000,000 coins, so one with 18 zeros (if you count in smallest units).

What a complete waste of time...why would anyone want to work with any currency with 18 decimal places......

[x23a1s]

why not ?

monero has 12 decimal places, so not very far away

The wallet on windows and Linux have a fu*&^% big issue make seed nodes to work correctly when I close wallet and reopen it in windows it shows Im at block 0 and its complete ?? cant connect to any peer and also in vps when I restart I see there are two chains already on one almost 500 blocks and on second 300 :-)

[vjudeu]

a white paper

https://lucknet.club/doc/luck.pdf

or at least a github

https://github.com/luck-coin/
Unfortunately, there is no source code here yet. For now, I will try to dig in binaries and write something on my own, but I hope developers will publish the sources soon.

algo type

So far as we know, argon2d is strong defense against GPU/ASIC, which is the most important goal for cryptocurrencies. Argon2d is a password-hashing function, argon2d uses data-dependent memory access which makes it vulnerable to side-channel attacks. We will choose argon2d as the hash function used in mining.

block reward

What is the technical parameters of Luckcoin
Block size: 2MB.
Block generation rate: 20 seconds.
Total supply: 32,650,000.
Reward strategy: Decrease by 10% every two years
Initial reward: 1.05Luck/Block (1.00 for miner, 0.05 for developers).
Pre-mining: 1% for bountry.

and a "proper" wallet....its 2020, who wants a command line

There is the GUI wallet for windows and the console wallet for Linux, maybe in the future there will be some GUI wallet for Linux, too. But this code is mostly based on Ethereum, so probably when source code will be available, I think it will be quite easy to get some Ethereum GUI wallet and modify it a bit to get it working on this coin.

perhaps then, this coin, MIGHT, just get a following

Maybe, if it will not be dominated by pools. I still think it is possible on this coin, but I really appreciate any work on getting rid of pool pressure.

md5sum: 7db00ea6510131509878d0f50bc62a15

Why not SHA-256 or something stronger? MD5 has collisions and producing two different files giving the same hash is trivial on a typical PC in seconds!

So they didn't fixed those issues from testnet. Yes, the client should download all blocks first and should not allow mining when there are no connections (unless forced by the user). I can also reproduce issue with 500 vs 300 blocks. My miner has all blocks (now around 550 in the moment of writing), but my client has only 300 blocks and cannot get any connections, too.

[vjudeu]

I did more digging and found that these binaries were probably built in DEBUG mode! So they contain a lot of debugging symbols, so I will try to extract some source code from that. A list of sections sounds promising, there are ".symtab" and a lots of ".zdebug" sections. There are also many github links with all dependencies.

Make wallet work proper because I already realize that we have 3 or more chains. Explorer show over 700 blocks I mine on chain with over 600 blocks and PPL have less than 600 what a shit. Better close it now make good seed node and compile wallet to work with that node. also when PPL start to mine and they are not fully synced they create new chain what a misery. Sherlock close that and redo all to work like it should. Instead of making a mess.

Strange for me there are two PC and both are in sync with the explorer.
One of my friend is also mining and he is also synced with same as block explorer.
One more thing the block explorer don't refresh and needs to be refreshed manually.

I have same situation many times with other projects and don't cry like You so just sync again and join network maybe You can start cry to satoshi that You are late ?? Maybe they will reset Bitcoin too?? Be wise and Good Luck
