[UNOFFICIAL] [VNL] Vanillacoin 0.4.1 | Instant ▱ Incentivized ▱ Innovative

[JoeGreen]

Found another block today, that 1 block is definitely possible.

I not sure what John is talking about when he mentioned soloing on this pool:

http://pool01.vanillacoin.net/

I tried mining that pool for 2 hours @ 1 gh's and had no luck so I left and went to suprnova.

This was the info I used to mine with. Does it look correct? Thanks

stratum+tcp://pool01.vanillacoin.net:3032

worker name: my vanilla coin address

password: any password

Please test new Smelter version
Should work with Nicehash now (but keep an eye on it!), more GPUs are supported (270, 290x and other GCN)

Unofficial tip party in IRC at block 100k!  Current blocks: 99351

That pool just found one block:

Your address looks fine, but it's like comparing the odds of ~2/(current difficulty) for finding a block on that pool, the reason why I haven't joined it as I could do that myself if I were to solo. If it were at least 5 blocks a day, then that's fine.

I'm also at supernova, but I think it's quite stupid for the entire dam hash to be on one pool, only if the hash were split up between at least two pools, then us smaller miners could certainly do better.

Why don't you release some full speed version where you get a percentage?

There was a point to that comment: had you took the time to read what junkozane quoted, you might have realized that he probably isn't using the stock SGMiner (as I am not.)

I'm working on it. I need to write my own miner from scratch first, so it's not infected with the GPL.

I'm getting that speed with smelter version posted above - I believe junkozane was talking about smelter too 
(with stock sgminer I get about 50)

hello, any news rgarding the c-cex mess?

Honeybadger from Polo (together with us) is waiting for C-cex Yuriy to send the wallet files over so he can fix them. We are getting "Sending them soon, I'm busy" every day. Please ask for it on the C-cex trollbox, in a C-cex support ticket or on their IRC channel: #c-cex-exchange.

Polo and Bittrex are still operating perfectly.

Good luck with ccex support, after a 4 day wait they finally responded with this just now.

"Hello! Apologies for being late with this answer. VNL wallet is beta software with lot's of issues inside and unfinished functions supplied by dev without any warany and support. We had lot's of problems with VNL wallet and spent many hours to resolve it. The last problem when wallet refused to send coins having enough balance in it (returning "connection input failed" message) could not be solved without dev help. Instead of collaboration JohnConnor refused to help to fix his software and posted this: https://talk.vanillacoin.net/topic/130/c-cex-de-list-request/4 So we removed wallet from exchange without any chance to fix wallet and send VNL balances to users. According to our rules https://c-cex.com/?id=terms this is exactly the case when we had to remove wallet without any compensation. HoneyBadger honestly offered us to help fixing this problem and we already negotiating our terms of collaboration with him. We give no guarantee but it is possible he can solve a problem with wallet and send us sendable coins so we can compensate user balances. Thanks!"

Really? Because with the version I released a while ago, you should be getting FAR more than 50MH/s.

With "official" I get ~50, with yours ~84 (I'm not sure if I have the latest yours - link to download pls?), with smelter ~165

[smolen]

I get just 165MH/s on HD7850  

Were Smelter as advanced as sgminer and company, many problems could be diagnosed by plain screenshot
Try to play with worksize, change '-W 64' in .cmd file to -W 128 or 256, select the best value, lower memclock and start to raise core clock. Keep an eye '5s:' speed, it catches up quickly.

And I get ~271MH/s on it.

Something new?

We are more or less at par with Wolf0, he is obviously better at OpenCL, I think I can show a trick or two at math. Our miners are roughly equal. I spared my best kernel to throw Smelter into wildness of buggy drivers, weird software, rare GPUs, newbie users and other real-life issues. When all it will be over, Smelter will be mature miner, ready to make money - with other algorithms. Sadly, this move devastated profits on Vanillacoin for OpenCL developers, at least until next breakthrough with AES-like kernels.
EDIT: damn, I just have to buy sample GPUs, or insert remote kernel loading, or something else to handle all that GPU zoo.

What's up with that "red dot" transaction? Why still receiving? (e7db627ea8a652091c87e35c96e4727ec57e73aea7424f949347a3c40e4625d6)

Found a paper with detailed description of bitsliced whirlpool. Not exactly what I was doing before getting stuck at CPU part of Smelter, so no harm in sharing:

EDIT: ~200 mh/s with HD7850

with  270 ~265

Thank you very much, added to the OP.

"Without warranty and support .... removal without compensation" Purely my (researched) opinion (at the moment): they lost part of the coins and want to shift the blame.

Polo still at 0 lost coins, obviously the code is the problem. /s

connection input failed

Can't find exactly this string not in sources, nor in windows wallet binary, were they on private wallet build?
If by chance it was

Code:

bool transaction::connect_inputs(
// ...
            if (
                prev_out.n() >= tx_previous.transactions_out().size() ||
                prev_out.n() >= tx_index.spent().size()
                )
            {
                log_error(
                    "Transaction connect inputs failed, " <<
                    get_hash().to_string().substr(0, 10) <<
                    " previous out n is out of range [" << prev_out.n() <<
                    "-" << tx_previous.transactions_out().size() << "]" <<
                    " previous transaction " <<
                    prev_out.get_hash().to_string() << "\n" <<
                    tx_previous.to_string()
                );
                
                return false;
            }

then the problem needs developer attention, regardless who's to blame. Corrupted db, network attack, bad blockchain branch switching, malformed wallet transaction - what really happened?
My own uneducated guess they put wallet.dat on cheap SSD drive
