can someone put a list of their connections - no wallet sync after adding the one official node

thanks

Make sure your computer has the right time. Nobody has reported wallet sync errors, everyone has said they have had no problems getting their wallet to connect! P.S the official GOATCoin thread is here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-goatcoin-greatest-of-all-time-sha-256-rewards-active-users-rare-430858

ok trying it - never knew that computer time had anything to do with it. fascinating, thanks

Oh dear. It looks like 300 GH/s is a little more than my server can handle at the moment. I'm trying to resolve the issue, but if you're one of the miners supplying hundreds of gigahashes, you might want to switch pool Sad

I've tried to set up a p2pool at http://goat.p2p.0x0a.nl:22646 - however, it has not been tested at all. On one hand that's because I can't get goatcoin to start in testnet mode (genesis block not accepted with clean data directory), on the other the difficulty is already too high for my puny hardware to find a block, which (I believe) is what p2pool needs to get started. So far I did get one share accepted, so at least there's that Wink

. I'm not sure at all whether it is going to work correctly, but if you feel like pointing your miners towards this experimental pool and don't mind risking time and energy doing so, you're welcome to mine! No registration needed/possible, just point your miner at stratum+tcp://goat.p2p.0x0a.nl:22646 (fee is 0.9%) with your address as username:

Code:

miner -o stratum+tcp://goat.p2p.0x0a.nl:22646 -u GNyEjX53yTrZ5itQwMViutuXswEwgDvmTf -a sha256

And of course, if you want to join the (entirely unproven) p2pool network with your own node, you can apply my patch http://goat.p2p.0x0a.nl:22646/static/p2pool.goatcoin.patch to https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool
cd p2pool
wget http://goat.p2p.0x0a.nl:22646/static/p2pool.goatcoin.patch
patch -p1 < p2pool.goatcoin.patch

UPDATE: Finally figured out I shouldn't be using cudaminer for sha256 (yes, my puny hardware is Nvidia..). Found a lot more shares with bfgminer in minutes, and p2pool looks good now - except still no blocks! At this rate, it will take 2 days before I hit one Embarrassed
