usukan, thank you. I helped install a new wallet. On the previous version of the addnode task nothing. But dbug does not open. But of course the addnode operation is entered, something else I remember from those times when I extracted the world. Thanks for the help!!!

Congratulations to the whole team!

We have successfully passed the fork block.

Now that the fork is done, will you enable payouts from the pool again at some point?

[alenevaa]

Payments will be resumed on Mon-Wed

Morning Alenevva

I was unlucky enough to be in the right place to have a rather large earthquake last night - a few dead here and many injured.  We even had a tsunami 2 hrs after the quake.  Not much sleep.  I have just woken up and got things a little organised.

I will check out stats and everything in detail later - but for now it certainly looks like the fork went smoothly.

Great work everyone.

I sure hope the fork didn't cause the earthquake - it started just before the fork and went on all night  
Crazy and weird timing...........

Cheers - usukan

[alenevaa]

I'm so sorry to hear about earthquake and tsunami. I think that supermoon has caused this.

I'm sorry to hear that you had such a horrible time, but at least you weren't injured and I hope nobody you know was!

I'm also glad to hear you're OK. Take care of you!

Congratulations to the whole team!

LESS THAN  24HRS -  until the UltraCoin fork
So - if you have a Win64 operating system - just download and run "UltraCoin-v1.0.0.0-Win64-Setup.exe"

Once the installation has completed - you need to be sure to run the correct ultracoin-qt.exe so the NEW wallet opens (i.e. don't use your old desktop shortcut).

Best create a new desktop shortcut - as follows

- Navigate to C/Program Files/Ultracoin folder
- Find the file ultracoin-qt.exe
- Create a shortcut to this file - and put it on your desktop.

I have installed Win7 (x64) I have, previously, UTC was set to Win7 (x86) and the weird thing is - I downloaded and ran "UltraCoin-v1.0.0.0-Win64-Setup.exe" I Went to the installation process. After that, UTC launched automatically and started to sync (yay), BUT in C/Program Files/Ultracoin folder - no. Only in "Program Files (x86) and the exe file there is dated (22.02.2015). Now I wonder where to get the new file to run ultracoin-qt.exe. Searched the entire PC - I can't find a new one.

Congratulations to the UTC team! 

UTC looks very promising now.

Hi barbados-fs

Thats a very interesting but strange problem.

The good news is that its on your computer - and it works!

So it exists somewhere - you just have to find it somehow.

Maybe @Presstab might have some advice to find it?



First - just check that you have not "hidden folders and files" applied to C:\Program Files on Windows Explorer (this would stop you seeing the folders in program files when you do a manual search yourself on the computer)  In the Control Panel you need to make sure "show hidden files and folders is selected. (Control Panel/Appearance and Personalisation/Folder Options)

I have installed and many others - and it always end up in C:\Program Files\UltraCoin

I can only suggest a search with the Windows Explorer open on "This PC" for ultracoin-qt.exe - it shows me every instance of ultracoin-qt.exe on my computer (and the path/location date installed etc)

here is a video showing you how - for Win7

and another

otherwise also do a Google search "how to find a file on windows 7"

hope this helps


Cheers usukan

[bathrobehero]

Congratulations guys!

[usukan]

Congratulations guys!

Thanks there bathrobehero - its early to call but it all looks damn good so far.

Last set of numbers I ran put blocks (POS + POW) at 1.01 blocks per minute over about 100 blocks (small sample size).  Its fluctuating but looks on plan for 1 block per minute.

Just did a spot check on blocktimes (my sample is not large enough - but its a good indication at least)

from block ..4534 to ..4627 = 93 blocks (POW and POS)

time 1 hr 34mins = 94 mins

so 1.01 mins per block

Thats pretty close to 1 min.

Sync, staking and transactions working fine from my tests.

Some tweaks maybe coming next week - but looking good - I agree.

Hit it with as much hash as you like (on/off) "at will" - need to stress test.

Hi, new cards with 8G is efficient at N14?

[presstab]

Just took a quick look at the explorer charts. Things are looking a whole lot smoother now. No more domination of PoW for a bunch of blocks then PoS for a bunch of blocks. Pretty good balance now.

what is the correct wallet to be using now?

what is the correct wallet to be using now?

WALLET UPDATE REQUIRED

Ultracoin is hardforking to a new and much improved wallet. This new wallet addresses many issues including the diff re-targeting causing trouble for miners and includes more efficient staking plus increased staking rewards (new wallet after fork - 5.6% PA).

The fork date is set for Wednesday, October 12th , 2016 (block number 1,824,237).

You should download, install and run the new wallet - preferably before the fork date.  The old wallet will not function correctly after the fork.


The new wallet files can be downloaded from here:

https://mega.nz/#F!nAVymCQa!wdJ4DMaULSptCqC5BX8fCw

This link has downloads for both 32x and 64x Windows installations.

The simplest installation of the new wallet is via running the appropriate setup.exe for your Windows operating system - either 32x or 64x i.e. "UltraCoin-v1.0.0.0-Win64-Setup.exe" or "UltraCoin-v1.0.0.0-Win32-Setup.exe"

This applies if you want to install a NEW Ultracoin wallet - OR if you want to update an old installation.

So - if you have a Win64 operating system - just download and run "UltraCoin-v1.0.0.0-Win64-Setup.exe"

Once the installation has completed - you need to be sure to run the correct ultracoin-qt.exe so the NEW wallet opens (i.e. don't use your old desktop shortcut).

Best create a new desktop shortcut - as follows

- Navigate to C/Program Files/Ultracoin folder
- Find the file ultracoin-qt.exe
- Create a shortcut to this file - and put it on your desktop.

Use this new shortcut to run the new wallet (and best to delete your old desktop shortcut)


As always - be sure to back up and save your wallet files (wallet.dat) to several other storage devices.

If you know what you are doing - you can use the .zip files shown in the MEGA download link (i.e. ultracoin-qt-v1.0.0.0-Win64.zip) to manually configure your own wallet installation.

Hi PressTab - yes its looking good.

I have done 4 snapshots of blocktimes over 100 blocks (POW and POS) over the last 2 days

the numbers were 1.6 1.3 1.01 and 0.73 - so its pretty much about 1 block per min as it should be over a 24 hr period.

The retargeting is working great and staking working 100%. Send/rec working and fast now for confs with proper blocktimes.

Everything is fine

Nice work

Thanks usukan

Hi, Another question, exist an updated miner for AMD, (apart from old yacminer  and nicehash  scrypt-jane).  Thanks.

Hi devlin - sorry I know nothing really about GPU mining of UTC


This appears to be the most recent

https://github.com/nicehash/cgminer-3.7.2-scrypt-jane (Oct 2015)

this may be an update

I'm not a GPU miner - maybe someone who knows more will steer you in the right direction.
