[ANN][1CR] 1CRedit Coin Relaunch

[almightyruler]

Very possible I am just not understanding some basic thing about mining or am otherwise generally confused.

Every PoW coin I've ever mined assigns a brand new address for every block it creates (following the broad "new transaction, new address" rule). It's very unusual to see two or more different PoW block rewards being credited to the same address. It does show that apparently the one miner created hundreds of blocks in a row, which in a fair and normal running network seems unlikely.

Somebody over here knowing until approx. when the 1CR blockchain is still stuck ??
When will the 1CR blockchain resume again?

A good estimate, even based on past occurences would be greatly appreciated.

It's been about 4 days so probably fairly soon, but see recent messages about some serious blockchain manipulation.

If you're sending or receiving 1CR then it should still get through - the sending wallet will retry if the chain reorganises and the transaction disappears - but trying to mine will probably be a waste of time.

Hello almightyruler,

Is somebody even working on fixing the 1CR blockchain stuck issue, so that it won't happen in future anymore?

Somebody needs to remove the difficulty algo which is utter CRAP and completely REWRITE it from scratch.
Perferably a team of devs with enough knowledge and experience, who know what they are actually doing.

Any chances this will happen ??
At least the new group supporting 1CR should publish some info about the steps and measures taken, to fix
the blockchain, rather than ignoring the topic as if there was no problem at all. The users have a right to know.
Otherwise people will lose confidence in the coin at some point, but maybe that's too difficult to understand for them.

I am looking into it. Could take weeks or months. I am not an experienced coin dev.
If anyone who has experience with this knows a "quick fix", please contact me.

But the only long term solution I see is adopting a CPU friendly algo. And maybe change the difficulty algo as well.

Flurry of low diff blocks for 44 seconds after the "stalled" block was solved, then the diff rapidly rose again. Note that block 60732 (diff 6274.93120064) was solved in about 9 minutes.

A quick fix would be to change the difficulty algo to something besides KGW, but if there really is significant hash power working on this coin (even briefly, if a pool switches in) it would probably still be susceptible to massive difficulty swings.

The price rising on polo probably hasn't helped, since a lot more people are suddenly interested in mining this coin.

If anyone has problems with their wallet (node), you can follow this guide:

http://1cred.it/2016/10/18/possible-solutions-for-your-1cr-wallet-being-stuck/

[s4w3d0ff]

Assuming that the 'KimotoGravityWellTW' function is doing what it is supposed to (1 hour min, about 6 days max(or 1 day max? I'm not really sure, either way, the diff is going to be hell)):

https://github.com/s4w3d0ff/1credit/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L1334

Code:

unsigned int static GetNextWorkRequired(const CBlockIndex* pindexLast, const CBlockHeader *pblock)
{
        static const int64 BlocksTargetSpacing =  TargetSpacing; 
        static const unsigned int TimeDaySeconds = 60 * 60 * 24;
        int64 PastSecondsMin = TimeDaySeconds * 0.01;
        int64 PastSecondsMax = TimeDaySeconds * 0.14;
        uint64 PastBlocksMin = PastSecondsMin / BlocksTargetSpacing;
        uint64 PastBlocksMax = PastSecondsMax / BlocksTargetSpacing;

        if (pindexLast->nHeight <= FIRST_KGW_BLOCK) {
	   return OldGetNextWorkRequired(pindexLast, pblock);
	}
        if (pindexLast->nHeight <= FIRST_KGWTW_BLOCK) {
	   return KimotoGravityWell(pindexLast, pblock, BlocksTargetSpacing, PastBlocksMin, PastBlocksMax);
        }
        if (pindexLast->nHeight < FIRST_KGWMB_BLOCK) {
            return KimotoGravityWellTW(pindexLast, pblock, BlocksTargetSpacing, 7, 168);  // 1 hour min, 1 day max
        }
        return KimotoGravityWellTW(pindexLast, pblock, BlocksTargetSpacing, 7, 1024);  // 1 hour min, about 6 days max
}

Code:

        if (pindexLast->nHeight < FIRST_KGWMB_BLOCK) {
            return KimotoGravityWellTW(pindexLast, pblock, BlocksTargetSpacing, 7, 168);  // 1 hour min, 1 day max
        }
        return KimotoGravityWellTW(pindexLast, pblock, BlocksTargetSpacing, 7, 1024);  // 1 hour min, about 6 days max

Then one can assume that a large miner could jump in at a low diff, starting with a small amount of hashing power then exponentially (and quickly) increase the power until the difficulty goes through the roof. Then the miner exits the network (or lowers the hash power to a minimal) until the high diff block gets solved and the diff goes super low, repeat.

Not sure if this is malicious, probably just a profit switching pool (or a troll, but is there a difference?), but the miner with massive power could double spend if they wanted (if they haven't already). You could try a simple fix and adjust the parameters above and try to reduce the damage from profit pools, but if it is a troll, adjusting the above would probably do nothing. You would have have to do a major rewrite or push out a new coin.

IMO, to 'quick fix', maybe start with adjusting the "1 hour min" to something higher or the max to something closer to 1 hour. Good luck!

Any ETA on the withdrawal/deposit issue on Poloniex? This might hurt 1CR's growth after the launch tomorrow.

This is the answer i got from polo a couple of days ago

Thank you for getting in touch.

The 1CR wallet is undergoing maintenance and unfortunately we do not have an ETA as for when it will be back up and running. Rest assured that we will attempt to resolve all wallet related issues as soon as possible.

We appreciate your patience regarding this matter.

Best regards,

That's too bad. I wanted to play some games on the arcade tomorrow but looks like that isn't going to happen. Hope they fix it soon.

[trannamtan]

yes,I think it takes one week wait   

[yaooke]

Should be very interesting..

[olkah]

mining at the start?

[caffeine93]

someone has just posted this on Poloniex trollbox, seems way too similar to the apparent 1CR game?

Care to explain this 1cr?

The 2nd game you plan to release https://twitter.com/LunyAndrew/status/789128297607106560

and here's your 3rd game.

https://twitter.com/LunyAndrew/status/789132902537699328

So I guess you just buy all of your games from code canyon eh? So much for game devs.

Looks like a big flop coin, classic PND.

And now 1cr's 4th game they just posted a screenshot of:

This is slightly amusing.

yeah, this is becoming sad already...especially if they're saying they're the ones who developed the games?
