The name should be changed to just SPR.

Uff, atleast that's an improvement over last time (about a month ago) when you suggested we change our name to MEH!
(that was so hilarious I'll remember my LOL for a long time)

The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

No seriously. SPR.

Like:

IBM
NBA
NSA
FBI
CIA
ITV

Brand names with short letters don't raise questions about their meaning. It becomes just a utility, a noun that can also become a verb.

I bought some Spread today to buy some pot online doesn't quite fit.

Maybe you should now finally remove that "No Pools" in the ANN...

Don't spread FUD guys, the miner / pool combo is very simple, minimalistic and secure at once.

Let me explain why:

Currently, or before some time, the miner uses ccminer/spreadminer/sgminer and connects to his local wallet via an unencrypted connection i.e. everyone could read the privkey by listening to the connection, using wireshark or even by intercepting the data communication (Man-In-The-Middle)..
This is also a big security flaw for the coin if (private) miners are connecting to their wallet over the Internet i.e. their Rigs are not only local in their own network, as everyone could literally steal their private key.

One thing i've done is: I've encrypted all data between the pool and the miner, it uses a secure SSL connection, its the same kind of connection you use when you're doing online banking etc (https) so if you want to sniff on the data - you first have to break the SSL encryption and then you can steal that one session key :-)

The second thing is, "normal" miners don't work, I've simply tweaked them to refuse all kind of unencrypted connections and also added an extra certificate with some encryption so the pool recognizes exactly which version is used by whom. Thats why you need to use special versions of miners, they are simply of higher security.

So after all, I still don't get what you people are having against mining on a pool, there is and was pool mining on SPR all the time, just on private pools, now you have a public one and some start to FUD the hell out of it but don't even know what they are talking about, why ? :-)


Oh and btw.. These nice charts / graphics etc always implied there was NO pool mining and "decentralization" here .. Well.. I've mined LOTS of blocks with the pool already and it seems that noone ever realized.. So maybe your "decentralization" is not as good as it seems ... How else could I get away with it then all the time ?


Stop FUD'ing and keep concentrating on your Spread... err.. Masternodes and do something for the coin..

As long as a coin is mineable by anything like CCminer/Sgminer/Minerd you can start a pool for it.. Its just a matter of time and a matter of effort.. I had some spare time and nothing todo so I invested the time into this.. If this thing would be of more worth, already more pools would be there.

Oh and yes - I'll open source everything - absolutely. This is also no security hole as the certificates/passwords/encryption keys of the miners are of course NOT released...(no stealing) So everyone can compile their own miner, with his own keys/encryption for his own pools... Very simple, isn't it ?



So then, what is the log in for the pool?

its the lack of understanding that makes people nervous ...

you have explained it well ...

Smiley ...

btw - I have pm'd you regarding the software issue ...

#crysx

Thanks for your warm words - finally someone ;-)

Yes - I got your PM, currently my inbox is exploding but we'll find a way to get you fixed soon, I'll try to compile it for you under fedora, should be no big deal Smiley

fantastic - tanx ...

i have the whole farm on x11 at the moment - so a fedora 19 x64 sgminer and spreadminer would be awesome ...

and you are correct - its no big deal - just a pain in the ass ... vbox ( or just 'boxes' under fedora ) can automatically install a virtual f19x64 system within 20mins - depending on your machine ...

tanx again - ill await your message ...

X11? Isn't that pretty bad profitability? I think even DGB-Qubit with a small boost is more profitable than X11 now.

this is true wolf - but the setup of the farm is at a stage where if i setup different algo on the miners - then it gets VERY time consuming and a great deal of wastage if / when the site ( such as westhash or yaamp for eg ) goes down ...

i have yet to find a way of setting the miners efficiently so that they can not only change the proxies they are pointing to ( all are stratehm proxies ) - but also the algo they are mining ...

im not a programmer - so its difficult for me to personally do that unless i can employ the services of a skilled programmer to do such things ...

it is a very labor intensive thing changing algos every few days ... and as granitecoin is x11 - i stay with x11 for all the other mining so that a switch over is seamless ( via the proxy ) - as there is no algo change ...

i know the farm is not running as efficiently as it should be - but i know of no other way except manually changing everything and rebooting / restarting the miners ...

this is true wolf - but the setup of the farm is at a stage where if i setup different algo on the miners - then it gets VERY time consuming and a great deal of wastage if / when the site ( such as westhash or yaamp for eg ) goes down ...

i have yet to find a way of setting the miners efficiently so that they can not only change the proxies they are pointing to ( all are stratehm proxies ) - but also the algo they are mining ...

im not a programmer - so its difficult for me to personally do that unless i can employ the services of a skilled programmer to do such things ...

it is a very labor intensive thing changing algos every few days ... and as granitecoin is x11 - i stay with x11 for all the other mining so that a switch over is seamless ( via the proxy ) - as there is no algo change ...

i know the farm is not running as efficiently as it should be - but i know of no other way except manually changing everything and rebooting / restarting the miners ...

Simple - update your configs to do the SGMiner 5 style profit switching - it works based on whether a port is closed or open, I think - therefore, you want to change algos, kill the stratum proxy and the miners will jump to the next proxy with the next algo.

ok - sounds simple enough ... though i wouldnt have the faintest idea where i could start with a config like that - or how to set it up in fedora 19 x64 ...

would you have any idea where i could see such a config? ...

Don't spread FUD guys, the miner / pool combo is very simple, minimalistic and secure at once.

Let me explain why:

Currently, or before some time, the miner uses ccminer/spreadminer/sgminer and connects to his local wallet via an unencrypted connection i.e. everyone could read the privkey by listening to the connection, using wireshark or even by intercepting the data communication (Man-In-The-Middle)..
This is also a big security flaw for the coin if (private) miners are connecting to their wallet over the Internet i.e. their Rigs are not only local in their own network, as everyone could literally steal their private key.

One thing i've done is: I've encrypted all data between the pool and the miner, it uses a secure SSL connection, its the same kind of connection you use when you're doing online banking etc (https) so if you want to sniff on the data - you first have to break the SSL encryption and then you can steal that one session key :-)

The second thing is, "normal" miners don't work, I've simply tweaked them to refuse all kind of unencrypted connections and also added an extra certificate with some encryption so the pool recognizes exactly which version is used by whom. Thats why you need to use special versions of miners, they are simply of higher security.

So after all, I still don't get what you people are having against mining on a pool, there is and was pool mining on SPR all the time, just on private pools, now you have a public one and some start to FUD the hell out of it but don't even know what they are talking about, why ? :-)


Oh and btw.. These nice charts / graphics etc always implied there was NO pool mining and "decentralization" here .. Well.. I've mined LOTS of blocks with the pool already and it seems that noone ever realized.. So maybe your "decentralization" is not as good as it seems ... How else could I get away with it then all the time ?


Stop FUD'ing and keep concentrating on your Spread... err.. Masternodes and do something for the coin..

As long as a coin is mineable by anything like CCminer/Sgminer/Minerd you can start a pool for it.. Its just a matter of time and a matter of effort.. I had some spare time and nothing todo so I invested the time into this.. If this thing would be of more worth, already more pools would be there.

Oh and yes - I'll open source everything - absolutely. This is also no security hole as the certificates/passwords/encryption keys of the miners are of course NOT released...(no stealing) So everyone can compile their own miner, with his own keys/encryption for his own pools... Very simple, isn't it ?



its the lack of understanding that makes people nervous ...

you have explained it well ...

Smiley ...

btw - I have pm'd you regarding the software issue ...

#crysx

Thanks for your warm words - finally someone ;-)

Yes - I got your PM, currently my inbox is exploding but we'll find a way to get you fixed soon, I'll try to compile it for you under fedora, should be no big deal Smiley

fantastic - tanx ...

i have the whole farm on x11 at the moment - so a fedora 19 x64 sgminer and spreadminer would be awesome ...

and you are correct - its no big deal - just a pain in the ass ... vbox ( or just 'boxes' under fedora ) can automatically install a virtual f19x64 system within 20mins - depending on your machine ...

tanx again - ill await your message ...

I think NiceHash has an example one - I dunno if it works exactly like I described, but I think it does.

kool ... ill have a look tonight ...

tanx for your help mate ...

Looks like OCMiner might be claiming the $10 bounty for creating a public pool at some point  Wink

Sorry, genuinely didn't mean that to sound derogatory.  I just didn't know how much the bounty had risen to.

OCMiner's method is good.  I think there are one or two other fairly simple ways to create public pools too but at the end of the day none of this matters.  The important thing is what Spreadcoin offers over Darkcoin in terms of privacy, security, transaction speed and economy.

when the software becomes public and opensource so that we can compile our own miners - thats when it will be even easier to access the pool ...

until then - the poor guy has to compile for the 'general' users ...

all good for the coin anyway you see it Smiley
