Hello Blockle team (OP) and community,

Thanks for the announcement, the project looks interesting. I've been testing Blockle shortly after launch using the pre-compiled Windows wallet (version v1.3.0.0-g7ff64311...) available from the Blocklechain/Windows-Wallet GitHub repository, running on Windows 10 x64.

I wanted to share my initial experience, especially regarding attempts at CPU mining, in case it's helpful as feedback or for other users:

1. Sync and Network Status:
The wallet synced quickly to block 2, which matches the official explorer found at https://explorer.blockle.org/ . However, both my node and the explorer seem to indicate that the last block (block #2) was mined quite some time ago (over 17 hours at the time of my testing). My node successfully connects to peers (I had 2 active connections), and the debug.log file shows messages like 'Potential stale tip detected', indicating it's aware of the lack of new blocks.

2. CPU Mining Attempt (Console):
I attempted to mine using the CPU via the Debug Console within the blockle-qt.exe wallet:
  • Generating a receiving address worked correctly after restarting the wallet.
  • I encrypted the wallet for security.
  • Executing
Code:
generatetoaddress 1 "my_blk1_address..."
while the wallet was locked returned
Code:
[ ]
immediately.
  • I unlocked the wallet using
    Code:
    walletpassphrase
    (it returned
    Code:
    null
    , indicating success).
  • Executing
    Code:
    generatetoaddress 1 "my_blk1_address..."
    again with the wallet unlocked also returned
    Code:
    [ ]
    immediately.
  • Interestingly, checking the debug.log shows a
    Code:
    CreateNewBlock()
    entry matching the exact time of this second attempt[/b], suggesting the node does prepare the block template, but the RPC command fails or terminates before initiating the mining process.
  • I tried the alternative command
    Code:
    setgenerate true 1
    , but it returned the error
    Code:
    Method not found (code -32601)
      , indicating this command has been removed in this version.

    Conclusion:
    Based on these tests, it appears that CPU mining using the built-in console commands (
    Code:
    generatetoaddress
    ,
    Code:
    setgenerate
    ) is not functioning correctly in the Windows v1.3.0 build.
    Code:
    generatetoaddress
    seems buggy (fails returning
    Code:
    [ ]
    even though the log shows
    Code:
    CreateNewBlock
    is executed), and
    Code:
    setgenerate
    no longer exists.

    Additionally, the observation that the main network seems stalled at block 2 for many hours is also worth noting.

    I hope this detailed information is helpful to the team and community. Is this a known issue with the Windows build or the
    Code:
    generatetoaddress
    command?

    Regards and best of luck with the Blockle project.

Hi there, thanks for the very detailed write-up and for helping us shake out these edge cases! A few things to clarify:



1) Why no new mainnet blocks?

Right now the only miners on mainnet are whoever runs external hashing hardware or pools—you won’t see your single-CPU attempts actually find a block at real-world difficulty (it’s astronomically unlikely). Until someone spins up a pool or runs enough hashpower, the chain will “stall” at block 2. That’s expected for a brand-new PoW network.



2) The console RPCs on Windows v1.3.0
   •   setgenerate was removed upstream in Bitcoin Core v0.21 (and we inherited that change).
   •   generatetoaddress on our mainnet build effectively becomes a no-op (it returns [] immediately) because block-on-demand is only enabled in RegTest mode. The fact that you see CreateNewBlock() in the log simply means the node built a template—it didn’t actually spin up a real hashing loop or solve the PoW.

TL;DR:
   •   On mainnet/testnet you must use an external miner (or pool) speaking the getblocktemplate / submitblock RPCs.
   •   On regtest, generatetoaddress N <addr> still works instantly (because difficulty is trivial).



3) How to CPU mine on mainnet/testnet
   1.   Point a miner (e.g. cgminer, cpuminer-opt, etc.) at your node’s RPC port:

miner --url http://rpcuser:rpcpass@127.0.0.1:9332 --user rpcuser --pass rpcpass 


   2.   The miner will internally call getblocktemplate, do the work, then call submitblock when it finds a solution.

If you just want to experiment locally, you can start your node in regtest mode:

blockled -regtest
blockle-cli -regtest generatetoaddress 10 <your-regtest-address>

That will mine 10 blocks instantly.



Bottom line: what you saw in v1.3 on Windows is working as upstream-designed—there is no built-in CPU miner on mainnet, and generatetoaddress only really “mines” in regtest mode. I hope that clears things up, and thanks again for testing!

Wow, thank you so much for the  fast and clear explanation! That clears up everything perfectly.

This has actually been really insightful. I'll take this as an opportunity to learn more about mining (I'll try to get some bitaxe and spread the word within its active community).

Cheers!

Heads-Up for Blockle Pool Setups: Don’t Use Native SegWit (blk1…) Addresses Directly

Blockle wallets today default to giving you a native SegWit Bech32 address (e.g.

blk1q3g8gd7y9k09ew0fxe59ht0ayye73cqjn7ahvxe

). Unfortunately, many pool back-ends (block-notify scripts, payment processors, Stratum implementations) still only recognize “wrapped” P2SH-SegWit addresses.



The problem
   •   Native SegWit (blk1…) may be seen as “invalid address” by your pool software
   •   Payouts silently fail or RPC calls error out
   •   Web UI address validation rejects your wallet

The quick fix
   1.   Generate a P2SH-SegWit address in your Blockle wallet

blockle-cli getnewaddress "" "p2sh-segwit"

That will give you an address starting with “3…” (or whatever your P2SH prefix is).

   2.   Use that P2SH-SegWit address in your pool config
In your serverconfig.php or config.json, set:

$config['payout_address'] = '3YourP2SHSegWitAddressHere';

instead of the blk1… address.

   3.   Test it via RPC before restarting your pool:

blockle-cli validateaddress 3YourP2SHSegWitAddressHere

Ensure it returns "isvalid": true.

   4.   Restart your pool services so they pick up the new address.



Why this matters
   •   P2SH-SegWit gives you the lower fees of SegWit (transactions still spend to a SegWit output)
   •   Keeps compatibility with existing pool daemons and notify scripts
   •   No need to patch dozens of Node.js, PHP or C scripts to support Bech32 yet

Once your pool is running smoothly with the P2SH-SegWit address, you can plan a full SegWit-capable upgrade later. But in the meantime, this simple switch will avoid the “invalid address” and payout errors that trip up most Blockle pool operators.

When I read "BLK" I thought it was something related to Blackcoin   Cheesy, although it no longer has the strength it once had. I would consider changing the ticker of your currency, as it could cause confusion for older investors.

In any case, good luck with your project!

[ANN] Blockle v1.1 “DigiShield Fork” Live at Block 30 – GitHub Upgrade Instructions

Hello everyone!

We’re pleased to announce Blockle v1.1, which activates a per‑block difficulty retarget (DigiShield) at block 30. This dramatically smooths out block times and keeps us at our 15 s target even as miners join or leave.



Key Changes
    []
Fork Height: 30 – At block 30 all nodes switch from the legacy 2016‑block retarget to per‑block DigiShield.
[]Averaging Window: 60 blocks (~15 min)
[]Max Adjustment: ±30% per block
[]Target Spacing: 15 s
[/list]

Why DigiShield?
    []Faster reaction to hashpower swings (minutes, not days)
    []Smoother difficulty curve under ASICs
  • Closer adherence to 15 s block time



Upgrade via GitHub
Simply pull the latest code, rebuild, and restart—no manual edits required.

Code:
cd ~/blockle                  ;# your local source folder

Initialize if you haven’t already

git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/Blocklechain/blockle.git

git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/main

Rebuild

cd src
make clean
./autogen.sh && ./configure && make -j$(nproc)

Replace your daemon

sudo systemctl stop blockled
sudo cp src/blockled /usr/local/bin/
sudo systemctl start blockled

Check your logs around block 30 for:
Code:
[DIGISHIELD] per‑block retarget active at height 30



If you encounter any issues, please open an issue on GitHub or post below. Thank you to everyone who tested on testnet and submitted feedback!

Happy mining,
— The Blockle Dev Team

[ANN] Blockle v2 Relaunch – New Chain Live as of May 3, 2025!

Greetings everyone,

I’m excited to announce that **Blockle** has officially relaunched its blockchain! After careful development and testing, we’ve rolled out a brand-new network (“v2 fork”) with the following highlights:

[ul]
  • Live Date: May 3, 2025
  • Block Time: 15 seconds  
  • Difficulty Retarget: Every 120 blocks (~30 minutes) for smoother adjustments  
  • Total Supply: 1000 000 000 BLK  
  • Premine: 20,000,000 – 2%
  • Consensus: SHA-256 Proof-of-Work  
    [/ul]



    Visit the official resources:

    [ul]
  • GitHub Repository & Releases  
  • Live Explorer  
  • Pre-built Binaries  
  • Website & Documentation  
    [/ul]



    ## Why Blockle?

    Blockle was designed to be the **slowest Fair Launch** in crypto, giving everyone an equal shot. With faster blocks (15 s) and a 30-minute retarget window, you’ll experience:

    [ul]
  • Low orphan rates and predictable confirmations  
  • Stable difficulty adjustments that resist hash-rate whipping  
  • A truly decentralized, permissionless mining environment  
  • [/ul]

    ## Getting Started

    1. **Download Binaries** (no build required):  
       `curl -L
https://github.com/Blocklechain/binaries/blockle-binaries.tar.gz -o blockle-binaries.tar.gz`  
   `tar -xzf blockle-binaries.tar.gz && cd blockle-binaries`

2. **Run a Node**:  
   `./blockled -daemon`

3. **Check Sync Status**:  
   `./blockle-cli getblockchaininfo`

4. **GUI Wallet**:  
   Launch `blockle-qt` from the same folder.

Your first 101 generated blocks will mature in ~25 minutes—mine them to an address of your choice:

```bash
ADDR=$(./blockle-cli getnewaddress)
./blockle-cli generatetoaddress 101 $ADDR
