WTF... Network hashrate 3.28 GH/s, i found only two pools, one with around 5.45 MH/s the second with around 2.25 MH/s... someone is solo mining really hard or there is other bigger pools?

It's a mix of a few big solo miners and some private pools.  I still solo mine at home on 5 machines, for example - I get a block every other day or so.  You don't have to be huge to solo BBR still.

Not sure if it's still happening, but for a while, some of the big EC2 miners would run their own pool inside EC2 to keep the bandwidth charges down and latency low.

If you've got more than about 1-2MH/s, I'd solo, but that's just me.

I'm kind of new to the BBR business, but I get suspicious when I see this tremendously skewed distribution of mining power.

Given that cpuminer comes (roughly) with the same hash power as the XMR miner (in the 100-600 kilohash range on standard quad-cores), a total network power of 3.71 GH/s seems really odd to me. How is that even possible without gpu miners? Ok, it's probably not possible without them.. so we have some gpu barons out there. That's fine, the coin evolves. But even then, a network power in the gigahash(!) range is hardly explained by cpu+gpu miners. So, I suspect either (big!) botnets or fpgas in the game. From the technical point of view, the latter would be great for BBR. From a practical point of view, both alternatives are bad, as it means that very few miners are actually generating most of the coins -- and thus, are in almost perfectly control of distribution and price.

Am I mistaken here, or do we have a seruious problem with BBR and the miners here?

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Had same issue with Windows 7 x64.   However, it appears to work ok with the bbr.farm pool.   Not sure if it one of the command line parameters or something that needs to be adjusted on the pool side.

Wow, a lot of great dev work going on with boolberry! I need to upgrade my wallet, but it doesn't look as easy as a simple file replace this time. The version I downloaded from http://boolberry.com/downloads.html has a lot more files than the original boolberry I downloaded 4 weeks agao or so.

Are there any upgrade tutorials? The original version didn't have all thoe dll files, what do they do?

I have coins in my old wallet, and coins I want to get off of poloniex.
thanks

Just replace dlls and exe files from new archive.
And please keep your wallets away from binaries, next version will fix this issue and will offer to save/open wallets in a user home folder by default.

Not sure if it's still happening, but for a while, some of the big EC2 miners would run their own pool inside EC2 to keep the bandwidth charges down and latency low.

If you've got more than about 1-2MH/s, I'd solo, but that's just me.

I'm kind of new to the BBR business, but I get suspicious when I see this tremendously skewed distribution of mining power.

Given that cpuminer comes (roughly) with the same hash power as the XMR miner (in the 100-600 kilohash range on standard quad-cores), a total network power of 3.71 GH/s seems really odd to me. How is that even possible without gpu miners? Ok, it's probably not possible without them.. so we have some gpu barons out there. That's fine, the coin evolves. But even then, a network power in the gigahash(!) range is hardly explained by cpu+gpu miners. So, I suspect either (big!) botnets or fpgas in the game. From the technical point of view, the latter would be great for BBR. From a practical point of view, both alternatives are bad, as it means that very few miners are actually generating most of the coins -- and thus, are in almost perfectly control of distribution and price.

Am I mistaken here, or do we have a seruious problem with BBR and the miners here?

bbr.farm: is updated to the latest code,
we also upgraded our server to welcome more miners.

Please use stratum, and happy mining
Code:
./minerd -a wildkeccak -o stratum+tcp://bbr.farm:7777 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p X -P -D -t NUMBER_OF_THREADS -k http://bbr.farm/download/scratchpad.bin

You can find me on #boolberry channel on FreeNode

Dear friends ( especially pool operators )!

Last commit enabled automatic scratchfile updating from boolbd daemon.
Now you just have to configure your pool with target folder/scratchpad.bin file and time interval for saving scratchpad, and pool via daemon rpc will be regularly update shared scratchpad file.

!!!!! This update will work only with last version of daemon!!!!!!

Instructions:
1. Pull daemon sources and rebuild it.
2. Pull pool seurces.
3. Update your config.json with following lines:

Quote
       
        "clusterForks": "auto",
        "poolAddress": "1L1ZPC9XodC6g5BX8j8m3vcdkXPiZrVF7RcERWE879coQDWiztUbkkVZ86o43P27Udb3qxL4B41gbaG pvj3nS7DgFZauAZE",
        "scratchpadFilePath": "/usr/share/nginx/html/scratchpad.bin",
        "scratchpadFileUpdateInterval": 14400000,

        "blockRefreshInterval": 1000,
scratchpadFileUpdateInterval - interval for scratchpad updating(milliseconds), 14400000 by default (4 hours).

4. Turn your http server to share this file and update mining instructions to make command line point to this file via URL.




Good "luck"!

There is clearly someone that keeps selling large amounts of BBR daily, thus clearing the buy side of the orderbooks. Price does not seem to matter much, indicating his cost basis is significantly below current prices. So, either one of the original miners or some GPU enhanced mining. The amount of sales are around 10,000 per day, which is pretty close to the new BBR created...

So, is there a plan to make BBR mining much more difficult for GPU? It seems pretty evident that the cost of CPU mining is nowhere near as good as this mythical GPU guy. I just dont see people selling CPU mined coins below cost.
If there is a way to make the scratchpad 1 gig? That would sure put a dent into any GPU efforts. We can then see if the daily 10000 sales stops.

Is anybody against this?

WTF... Network hashrate 3.28 GH/s, i found only two pools, one with around 5.45 MH/s the second with around 2.25 MH/s... someone is solo mining really hard or there is other bigger pools?

It's a mix of a few big solo miners and some private pools.  I still solo mine at home on 5 machines, for example - I get a block every other day or so.  You don't have to be huge to solo BBR still.

Not sure if it's still happening, but for a while, some of the big EC2 miners would run their own pool inside EC2 to keep the bandwidth charges down and latency low.

If you've got more than about 1-2MH/s, I'd solo, but that's just me.

I'm kind of new to the BBR business, but I get suspicious when I see this tremendously skewed distribution of mining power.

Given that cpuminer comes (roughly) with the same hash power as the XMR miner (in the 100-600 kilohash range on standard quad-cores), a total network power of 3.71 GH/s seems really odd to me. How is that even possible without gpu miners? Ok, it's probably not possible without them.. so we have some gpu barons out there. That's fine, the coin evolves. But even then, a network power in the gigahash(!) range is hardly explained by cpu+gpu miners. So, I suspect either (big!) botnets or fpgas in the game. From the technical point of view, the latter would be great for BBR. From a practical point of view, both alternatives are bad, as it means that very few miners are actually generating most of the coins -- and thus, are in almost perfectly control of distribution and price.

Am I mistaken here, or do we have a seruious problem with BBR and the miners here?

Me and also David (dga) already commented such questions here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577267.msg7479014#msg7479014, please review this post.




There is clearly someone that keeps selling large amounts of BBR daily, thus clearing the buy side of the orderbooks. Price does not seem to matter much, indicating his cost basis is significantly below current prices. So, either one of the original miners or some GPU enhanced mining. The amount of sales are around 10,000 per day, which is pretty close to the new BBR created...

So, is there a plan to make BBR mining much more difficult for GPU? It seems pretty evident that the cost of CPU mining is nowhere near as good as this mythical GPU guy. I just dont see people selling CPU mined coins below cost.
If there is a way to make the scratchpad 1 gig? That would sure put a dent into any GPU efforts. We can then see if the daily 10000 sales stops.

Is anybody against this?

I am, against, because:
1. 1GB of scratchpad gonna kill possibility of SPV client.
2. GPU miner will help coin to withstand botnets.
3. "mythical GPU guy" is cbuchner1&Co, according to his posts he is going to release his GPU miner for BBR.
