[ANN][GRE] GreenCoin - A Blockchain-Based Social Carbon Ecosystem

[biodieselchris]

so has the diff got us stuck at block 716 or is the wallet just failing to synch?

I haven't heard from nugget in awhile, I will wait for him to weigh in on this though.

I think it is the diff; it reports as 1.14 from getinfo but if that were the case it sure seems like someone would have found the block by now.  (Is the diff reported differently?)  Sgminer reports it as 68 and my best share is a 21 so far.  A mining calculator shows that I should be able to hit a couple blocks a week at a 68 diff, but I don't know.  Is anyone else mining CO2X?

wow GRE diff at 724

Code:

}
"blocks" : 371056,
"currentblocksize" : 0,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 724.36006258,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"hashespersec" : 0,
"networkhashps" : 43075824950,
"pooledtx" : 6,
"testnet" : false
}

Had a few more coins than "usual" today, like about ~1M, so the new pool(s) coming in are paying the full 1000 it seems

New icon for CO2X, hope all of you like it:- 

Color scheme according to Dev requirement, BLUE color represents earth is a blue marble, GREEN color and LEAF symbol represents green energy/renewable production.


Logo in B&W:-


Logo under different background color:-


Logo in coin:-

so is here a pooled solution to busting block 716? My 980X is munching at 2.3M for about 3 days and the best I have hit is ~18. Given diff is 68, I think some hired help might be necessary then have them throttle back as the natural mining comes online...thoughts?

I woke up this morning and after days of mining I found a block at 243 diff but it was rejected.  At this point I'm throwing in the towel unless someone finds a block - I doubt buying hash will make a difference.  I'm thinking the current block may not be solvable but I'm not sure.  If you look into what happened to cinnamon coin there are some clues there.  Basically a negative time difference killed that coin – I'm not sure if that is CO2X coins problem but at this point I would suggest maybe things be redesigned and we restart?

I don't know if this is possible but If somehow you could limit the hash rate or restrict nodes from a single source that is way higher than the other current miners this might help on preventing the problem with negative time difference and unbalanced distribution of coins.  My guess is that smaller less popular coins are going to face this issue now with the vast difference in hash rate we are experiencing in the community.

Hmm. Any progress been made? Or do you need a hand clearing up some bugs?

[Lightsplasher]

This CO2X coin problem gives me an idea, “Egalitarian Coin”, any node taking more than 10 percent of the hash rate starts going up in the ban count and gets purged from the community.  Who needs mining pools and ultra rich bag holders, aye comrade?  Liberty, equality, fraternity,  storm the bastille, crypto coins shall prevail!  Someone code it up and I'll mine it.

The general community consensus is GRE is a strong coin but too buggy to continue in its current form indefinitely. Nuggetbram got involved to provide some technical advice on the situation. He advised GRE would be too difficult of a fix and opted to help with a relaunch (CO2X). However, CO2X also experienced some problems mostly around it's advanced features. Nugget has offered to look into re-launching, possible with less advanced features, but with a strong 100% fully tested coin. The timetable for this isn't certain but when I mentioned your post to him he was enthusiastic to have another set of eyes on the code. We can also have a BTC bounty on the table for helping out. PM me around that if you'd like.

In the meantime I still personally like GRE as a payout for renewable Producers because it's live and running, it mostly works (except for the bugs previously noted), and the merge mining has certain strengths, for example, GRE certainly isn't going away anytime soon. While nugget and others re-vamp the strategy of a launching a new more stable coin, I can enthusiastically support the Renewable Ecosystem and solicit additional producers and other community development activities.

Until someone fixes the global carbon problem I'm going to keep working on this.

Nope, still working on it.

lol, hey I'll mine this to. Maybe GRE2 could have such features....

GRE diff, 1101 hashrate = 73 GH/s

GRE is in danger of being delisted from bittrex

The new wallet keeps endlessly "Catching up.. downloaded 716 blocks of transaction history"
How to fix this?

there is no fix. This coin is stuck. We are looking at a re-launch as stated previously with a coin with stripped down features but 100% working.

ETA for launch? I would like to be on the ground floor for this one

right now we don't have a timetable but I will post in the forum (and email greencoin producers) when we have one.

GreenCoin wallet doesn't want to be synchronized, the nodes for conf in the header is still relevant?

[seasonw]

I'm working vigorously on PICISI..............

Should you contact dev directly, rather than post the full article here, it smells like commercial ad...

[biodieselchris]

the wallet fully updates, it just doesn't indicate as such which is a known bug. The nodes in the conf are fairly recent. I can post my getpeerinfo in here anytime requested as well.
