i5-3570K@4.2: "hashespersec" : 1033981

Thanks DougB62,
   
Does your @4.2 refer to a clock speed? 

I have a ThinkPad running QubesOS with:

i5-520M and I can get "hashespersec" > 1500000

However, my laptop overheats and shuts down if I keep it chopping for more than about 15 minutes. 

I will look into a better windows build.

lol well I should of added

1. going from recollections

2. I use linux so what the hell do i know?

I have:

A10-5800K ~4000K
FX-8350 ~8000K

Both linux with the standalone miner

Wow, nice   Does that mean you are using a pool or pointing the standalone miner to your own client?

Yes - 3.4GHz overclocked to 4.2GHz

own client. its not pretty but it gets the job done.

also the 8350 after running overnight is more like 6700K... might have to set up a cron job to restart the miner on a regular basis to get the most out of it

Greetings Woodcutters!

Wow, the altcoin scene has been pretty depressing recently.  What do you think, should we follow suit and hire a few people to market woodcoin?  Send in some press releases with payment to a few "coin news" sites?  Get a couple people to pump the troll boxes?  Claim we are backed by real South American hardwood?

How about a little fake volume and more exchanges?  Promises of high yield returns? 

All these things would let you dump your LOG soon and then you could watch the price crash.  Sound like fun?   This hasn't been my design philosophy in any way but hey I thought we should let the community decide  

Cheers,  happy chopping  --

Development Notes:

1)  Merged upstream/master in woodcoin to include minor litecoin changes which coblee added this january.  See:

https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/commits/master-0.8

2)  Almost finished with woodcoin-b.

https://github.com/funkshelper/woodcoin-b

This is a fork of bitcoin core that runs the woodcoin chain.

   In making these changes it is interesting to note how the litecoin repo and the bitcoin-core repo have diverged.  There are a ton of refactors and code changes in the bitcoin-core repo.  uint256 became arithunit256, and there is a new uint256.  whole new libraries for some core crypto that are used instead of OpenSSL and many other changes.  The one named "secp256k" is misnamed as it can be easily adapted for other curves.  The repo is probably harder to deal with for altcoin devs, but that has nothing to do with their goal.  However the new class chainparams actually makes the package more extensible by altcoin devs who are just starting out.  I only hope that it isn't too crufty (bloated).  Litecoin has kept additions to a minimum and true to its name retained a lighter profile.  I only hope nothing important is missed in terms of network security.    

  One nice thing is that a given chain / coin can be accessed from whatever client you like.  A lot of people fail to realize this, and talk as if bitcoin-core "is" bitcoin, or litecoin-project/litecoin "is" litecoin.  Of course that is nonsense.  

   The original VPSs that are hardcoded into the client are down now, only a single one as dnsseed is up.  Because I have a goal of maximum decentralization, you might need to come to this forum or others to look for nodes when this comes down, if you are restarting a client from scratch.  It sounds annoying, but full decentralization requires it. 

   I am still looking for contributors and bounty hunters on:

3) Windows builds

4) Android client

5) iOS client

  I have one contributor working on an electrum fork for SPV client.  

More development ideas and suggestions are welcome!   happy chopping --

Coming soon:  A deal on these and other wood products for LOG.

Nice! Think we'll get some woodcoin wallets out of wood someday too?

could of pm'ed but here is a free bump, I was a little liquored up the other night (go figure) and you posted a touche esk post in response to something i posted, any clue what it was?

[funkenstein]

This thread does not yet have in it a proof that the harmonic series diverges.  It's time to correct that oversight.  

As you may remember, the woodcoin supply of LOG increases with every block, with a reward slowly decreasing like this function:

H  =  1/2  +  1/3  +  1/4  +  1/5  +  1/6  +  1/7  +  1/8   +  1/9  +  1/10  +  1/11  +  1/12  +   1/13  +  1/14  +  1/15  +  1/16  + ......  


It may come a surprise if you have never heard it before that this diverges, that is it will grow without bound.  Apparently this was proven in 1382 by a guy called Oresme.

Thus the woodcoin supply would grow without bound if we didn't stop giving away LOG after the reward dipped under 1 wood chip  (a LOG satoshi) (which by the way, won't happen for a long long time).


Lets regroup the terms:  



H  =  1/2  +  {1/3  +  1/4}  + { 1/5  +  1/6  +  1/7  +  1/8}   +  { 1/9  +  1/10  +  1/11  +  1/12  +   1/13  +  1/14  +  1/15  +  1/16 }  + ......  

now lets consider another series:


G  =  1/2  +  {1/4  +  1/4}  + { 1/8  +  1/8  +  1/8  +  1/8}   +  { 1/16  +  1/16  +  1/16  +  1/16  +   1/16  +  1/16  +  1/16  +  1/16 }  + ......  


As you can tell, this new series G is smaller than H.. because we have only replaced some of the terms in it with smaller numbers (we replaced 1/3 with 1/4,  1/5 with 1/8, etc...)

So:   G < H

But G  =  1/2  +  1/2  + 1/2  + 1/2  +  . . . . .. .. .. . . . .    

So G diverges and therefore so does H!  


Cheers and happy woodcutting --

Lol, thanks for the bump.  Probably I was liquored up on maple whiskey too, holding you back from beating some trolls though they likely deserved it.

would you please stop suggesting that liquor thing ? before something dangerous happens   

[SalimNagamato]

my laptop went to the heaven of the laptops. BTW
not that i blame this coin or something, because i didn't mine it for a few months.. (i am a folderAtHome)
i think it was when something funny happened with the electricity. not sure what

RIP
Can we get a moment of silence for Salim's laptop?  I believe it has played a momentous role in the history of woodcoin. 

... 

Have you tried using "curecoin" or "gridcoin"?  I have not researched them but from what I understand they are efforts to support foldersAtHome.

some do believe there is life in the machine... in some form. (many moving atoms and circuits)

yes i am earning curecoin+foldingcoin Counterparty asset+powcoin asset+scotcoin asset..with fldc merged folding platform
win win win win win situation
oh that liquor yesterday.. oy vey

Thanks Salim  

In other news all hardcoded IPs are removed from the repo (and those servers are down).  Now there is only a single DNS resolvable node, and IRC node resolution has also been tested in case that server goes down.  Still operating with with no checkpoints, no alerts, and no pools..  making us pretty damn decentralized.

Hey cool to see this thread living up again, I've restarted my pool:

https://wood.suprnova.cc

Please re-add to OP !

Is there a Sgminer for GPU yet ? or ccminer for nvidia ?

ocminer, you are everywhere how do you do it?    Keep up the great work!

There is no GPU miner that I know of released yet.  Difficulty remains low.  Current rewards are ~12 LOG per block, 2 minute blocks.

Next milestone:   Block 100k.  Reward drops to 10 LOG/ block.
