[ANN][BLAKE-256] DIRAC (XDQ) - Advanced Finance

How does one get the wallet to connect to block source?

Please make sure you have the following added to your dirac.conf file in the blockchain directory (usually C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Dirac - AppData is hidden so you may need to enter that directory manually)

addnode=46.127.128.61
addnode=162.252.58.22
addnode=108.61.242.204
addnode=107.170.132.68
addnode=192.237.163.116
addnode=91.156.103.152

These were pulled from actively synced wallets. Majority of these seed nodes are run by Blakecoin servers and will be taken offline at 12/8. Bryce and myself are preparing new seed nodes and encourage others to do the same.

A Blake256 merge mining pool has been on my list of things to get going for some time now. Ive been quite busy with Multipool projects (NAUT, ARCH, JBS/PINK/+++) and hadnt gotten around to working on a merge pool. Bryce approached me a couple weeks ago to speed up/prioritize my work as XDQ was being removed from the ecosystem's pools and it needed a new home.

The blakeShares pool will be online soon. I realize I have been saying that for a few days now, but my time to work on it is limited. I have an operational back-end pool adapted from BlueDragons eloipool and the UMO NOMP pool, and it took alot of digging around to get things configured right and working. I spend the majority of last week attempting to get a superior pool infrastructure running the merged mining (Simple's PowerPool - still working with the developer on it) but the time crunch forced me to use the already existing pools.

At this time I am coding up a custom front end interface for account management with workers and payout addresses using the Meteor framework. Please let me know any and all questions you might have.

Where can one mine XDQ?

Thank you for the hard work Icarus. I can point some hash that way if you need any testing.

You can mine dirac here: nomp.universalmolecule.co.ve

[forzendiablo]

price really tanked here sadly

That is excellent to see, glad it was kept on that pool.
Dirac network hashrate is holding steady around 125GH.

Expecting to have blakeShares online later today, if not this morning. (fingers crossed)

[MarSas]

So if I am not mistaken only 6 GHs (http://nomp.universalmolecule.co.ve/) out of 125 come from a public pool?

'I may be mistaken, but I believe the reporting on that site is incorrect. The entire pool hashrate (40+GH) is effectively applied to the network, on each chain, when work is submitted under merge mining. Therefore 40GH is actually present on Dirac from that pool.

On my pool in testing, with two users, we are seeing an average of 25GH. Thus, in 'public' (known) pools there is 65GH. Solo mining the network is possible at this point even with one GPU/FPGA.

[MarSas]

So it is really really vulnerable to anyone with not the best intentions?

[IcarusGlider]

Doubtful. Most of the blake ecosystem networks run at 300-400GH/s, so Dirac is still more than a quarter of those networks. No more vulnerable than them.

Are you think this pool?

Yes, it is. The site is still under development, but for now you can create an account and mine. Payout code will be complete this afternoon, and ill be exposing the payout address fields at that time. Till then all shares are being tracked and miners will be paid accordingly.

Hi peeps,

Regarding the pool: Dirac is slated to be removed soon, i just haven't had time to do it (i'm supporting Blue's resolve for several reasons, please don't discuss that here). The hashrate is 6GH at most, there is only 1 miner besides my measly rigs and my hashrate is about 4GH, so not much there for XDQ.

Please, if you're mining on http://nomp.universalmolecule.co.ve and want to mine XDQ, point your miners elsewhere because it is inminent that it will be removed (will remove it from the merged proxy first, and when all the shares have been paid i will shut down the XDQ node).

[IcarusGlider]

blakeShares is fully online and processing payments to miners: http://shares.blake256.com
Merge-mining XDQ, BLC, B+, UMO, PHO, ELT, LIT - 1% fee, hourly payments

XDQ node is online at seed.blake256.com, be sure to add to your dirac.conf file:

Code:

addnode=seed.blake256.com

other nodes online (excepting Society nodes that will be shutting down 12/8):

Code:

addnode=24.69.200.51
addnode=86.130.216.103
addnode=91.156.103.152
addnode=108.61.242.204
addnode=142.179.7.102

[BlueDragon747]

Code:

addnode=108.61.242.204

this is cg1 pool and this node will be shut down later today for XDQ

Coin control on the horizon?

It's worth the read.

[mycoinsstore]

It's good or bad news?

[mycoinsstore]

jyap, you don't understand.
Moreover, there is illiteracy? I asked about how your "worth the read" will affect DIRAC price.

How do I add a node to a Mac Wallet, I tried doing it from the debug console but couldn't get it to work and not sure where to look for a config file on a mac....thanks
