[ANN] [SFR] SaffronCoin | Latest Version - 1.4.2/2.6.2 | Mandatory Wallet Update

[zhulick]

third time now i see my wallet completely empty out, and start to refill again as the diff on x11 goes back down to 0, and it looks like we start mining all over again....

last time around 9k coins, this time 10k... how many next time, who the hell knows...

what a mess...

[zhulick]

just happened again...

wallet emptied out, and the diff on x11 is back to 0... looks like i'm mining the same exact coins for the third, or is it fourth time... i've lost count...

[foob6]

the coin look like good,and i am wating

[Sn0op]

13h mining lost 

[zhulick]

rinse/repeat... same thing keeps happening...

[mig6r]

Rental rig wasted and 10 hours mining for nothing. I loose money with this fork.

Dev, you must react quickly, investors are out !

[saffroncoin]

Sorry for the delay due to our timezones.

This is what I have figured out.

As long as the blocks are found only by X11/Blake algos everything works fine. But when any of the other algos find any block, it somehow overwrites the blocks found by X11/Blake.
So the chain ends up rolling back.

We have 2 options now. As hughjays suggested to either put all this into a new coin or make a new fork to strip the older 3 algos and only keep X11/Blake and make the coin a dual algo coin.

Please do give your views.

I apologize for the confusion and frustration. This is the first time a multi algo coin was attempted to be forked so problems are bound to happen.

Before that i would want to ask which chain are you all on.

Currently my wallet shows that i am on Block 116248 which is the same of the block explorers.

Please do tell me which blocks you are on so we can confirm the best chain.

chain regularly change, actually 115926 and no sync.
I restart wallet : actually 116058 an sync ok...

Ok came to another deduction is that the problem is with the scrypt and groestl algos. Their blocks overwrite the others. SHA256 is fine.

We need your opinions to strip out Scrypt and Groestl.

Please give your views so we can do this fast and make SFR a 3 algo coin - sha,X11,blake.

[restless]

I doubt the name of the algo is the problem.
COuld it be that somewhere a structure remains which is 3 -dimensional and simply there is "fight" which 3 algos to be "active" and to find blocks

wallet @block 16287 synced
2.2.0 version, it shows diff only for first 3 algo...

[mig6r]

No idea, I do not see the interest relaunch of 3 new algos and it is unfortunate to lose groestl
I would have preferred to give interesting new features added to the new currency as vericoin a hit right now thanks to his payment via sms value.
After I'm far from an expert, I let others speak

[vipin.khatri20]

In my opinion it will be better if we start from scratch ( new coin).

block 116297 here.

But now I'm solomining with just 2 gpus.

groestl was fine for me and a also lot of miners with old AMD gpus. But if the solution is to keep X11 and blake and stop scrypt and groestl i'm in.
I don't like scrypt these days. too much heat for summer and too many asics coming soon.

[restless]

how are people mining blake atm?! Miner link?
I tried solo-mining but receive Failed to resolve (?wrong URL) -o 127.0.0.1:19716 - using same port as for solo-mining groestl and some cgminer for blake, not sure if this is old version :S

RPC Port is wrong. It is 19710.

[saffroncoin]

We are working on fixing the block weight problem which overwrites the block. This is one last attempt we are trying to do to fix this problem.

If it still occurs then we will strip out Groestl and Scrypt or pack all this in a new coin.

[lin0sspice]

How about sha-256, blake, scrypt and x13

[saffroncoin]

How about sha-256, blake, scrypt and x13

Wouldn't be necessary . We have figured out the block weight problem. We are running some tests so the blocks of lower difficulty don't get overwritten by blocks of higher difficulty.

Don't understand, more hashrate accepted but less earning
