Lyrabar
How many coins there at the moment?

These people from the IRC channel offered their help by spreading word on their language, in other words did some translations.
This was not a bounty, seems these people just wanted to help.
I express my gratitude by giving 100 LYB to each person from my own pocket.

There is always more to translate

Updated first post with the links.

Ok, hopefully official peers give better results. The official pool hears them all, hopefully YIIMP stratums also hear these official ones.

I might setup some DNS seeds to make synchronization and peer lookups faster.

i'm finding valid MONA and VTC block just fine on the same stratum server so the multiplyer is correct just seems to be short on peers.

Official nodes with latest 0.9.1 wallet is in the first post, same as mentioned here.


If you're using node-stratum, make sure you have right multiplier 8 instead of 7 in the algoproperties.js
It's also mandatory to have right multiplier in python stratum. I don't know what makes lots of orphans if it's not about the multiplier.

Found out there's wrong multiplier in both when set up a VTC pool to try out v2 algorithm before algorithm change.

Does anyone have a good list of peers? Can only connect to a few and seem to get a lot orphans...

I have inlcuded the LYB burn address LKDxGDJq5fF4FohAB8zJH24mDDNHDNtqsE in the new blockchain explorer to see how much coins people have sent coins for burning.

Sad to burn quite rare coin like this. Still, by burning Lyrabar it gets only more rare.

I started working on LyrabarJ (BitcoinJ fork). This allows our community to have the Android wallet in the future.
Will be pushed in GitHub when ready.

We will be redeeming burned LYB at the rate of .5 BARR per LYB (2 LYB per BARR) with a target price on market of 6000 satoshis per LYB.

The exchange begins at 00:00 UTC December 1st, and ends at 23:59 UTC (6:59PM in New York) on December 30th.

The burn address for LYB is LKDxGDJq5fF4FohAB8zJH24mDDNHDNtqsE (which returns a string of zeroes when hashed).

Before sending LYB to the burn address, message BARR_Official at bitcointalk with the amount you're planning to burn.  After you send your coins to the burn address, message us again with the transaction I.D. and your NXT wallet address (not a NXT address from an exchange).  If your NXT address has never received a transaction before, also include the Public Key.

It's not fair and a bit hopeless mining a coin with CPU or GPU if the coin is ASIC capable, especially if there is lots of those machines as part of the total network hashing power.

I chose Lyra2RE at beginning to have fair mining for both CPUs and GPUs.
Upgraded to version 2 because I don't like big CPU botnets connected to the pools. With algorithm version 2, all GPUs now have almost five (5) times the power than before. CPU speeds now remains at about same hashrates like with old version of the algorithm.

If getting a new GPU, 750Ti is a good and affordable card for Lyra2REv2, can recommend.

Seems official mining pool have the frontend in a bit jammed state, upgrading the machine soon to handle all the load.
All submitted shares are stored and automatic payments are working normally during site unresponsiveness, no panic

Thanks for the update! I voted CPU, I hate ASICS 

Hi again everyone,

The official Lyrabar blockchain explorer is up! Includes rich list and the current market price.
I'm doing couple of fixes at the moment, everything should work normally soon. If you face issues with the official blockchain explorer, feel free to drop a message.

Official Lyrabar Blockchain Explorer

Sorry, I maybe wrote the earlier post in a bit misleading presentation style, about the working ccminer, meant "plain djm34 fork". The latest one or a precompiled Windows binary from the repository release page. There's no Getwork fixes or anything similar by me!

Hope you manage to get it work!

Sorry I thought the precompiled binary had some unpublished fix in it.
If it's just "plain djm34" fork, I already have it, will try later ;-)

Great!

My honest opinion is that if developers implement features in a software and have parameters used at initialization for enabling or disabling them, please make those work, otherwise disable those parameters and mention about it at readme or something similar
I'm not a expert with miner softwares and haven't compared those questioned parts of sources between forks, but have Getwork mining got broken or disabled in other ccminer forks than in djm34's, or is it technically impossible to have on later builds?

Just curious, would like to know if there's a answer out for this.

I'm not conservative person, it's just good to have support for old stuff while new things roll out - I bet Lyra2RE first version is still used on some coin like the Getwork.

I will gladly look forward to implement GBT.

Sad to hear tpruvot's build did not work, also will try it and other miners myself when possible.

While you (and others) are waiting for the Getblocktemplate implementation, if you're running GNU/Linux like you told, compile your own ccminer binaries and solo mine with djm34's version, there shouldn't be much difference in the Lyra2REv2 hashing speeds in compared to SP's latest (free version).
I assume the compilation is not about your skills if you have skills to tweak and create customized kernels Like I mentioned above, it's not possible yet for me to try NVIDIA mining, when I get a rig built, will compile and share amd64 binaries of the current djm's ccminer fork. Also feel free to share the precompiled binaries, if you manage to get those built.

Everyone remember sharing is caring, feel free to fetch some daily free Lyrabars at the official Lyrabar faucet

There's also rains usually on the channel, at least for active (talking) users!

Solo mining is working with Nvidia with Windows 10, i have test it!


Miner :

https://github.com/djm34/ccminer-lyra/releases/download/v0.5/ccminer-lyra-binaries.zip

Example config for noobs like me:

ccminer.exe -a lyra2v2 -o http://localhost:4047 -u newstb.1 -p x --api-bind 0  --cpu-priority 2 --no-gbt --no-stratum

Thanks but I can't test it because I run Linux.
Why not pushing the fix to git?
Tpruvot version doesn't work.

Lyrabar has been voted as a Wild Card coin for exchange to BARR, from December 1 to December 30.

Interesting! Will follow, gladly going to help with any of these if any kind of help needed.

A solution found for NVIDIA ccminer GPU through-wallet solo mining
The solution was found by getting a community member to run tests on a dual NVIDIA 980 non-Ti rig.
I'm very happy to get someone else to run tests while I have no possibility at the moment, gladly sharing this great information for everyone!

A precompiled Windows binary of the ccminer at djm34's repository is confirmed working great on solo mining Lyrabar blocks with parameters --no-gbt and --no-stratum
This version does have working Getwork mining and toggling use of the stratum protocol works.

Our community member got a hashing speed total of 21MH/s on Lyra2REv2 with both 980 non-Ti cards, without having any kind of nvidia-smi clock tuning.

Working Windows binaries of djm34's ccminer, version which is proven to work with Getwork solo (and pooled) mining:
https://github.com/djm34/ccminer-lyra/releases/download/v0.5/ccminer-lyra-binaries.zip

After I get a NVIDIA rig built, I'll post benchmark results on both Lyra2RE algorithm versions. I have only SM2.1 cards from NVIDIA side, but those are not mounted at the moment on any rig. I bet hashing speeds of something over 1.0Mh/s per card roughly with stock clock speeds, this should apply with GTX460s and GTX560s. Will try first if these cards work with ccminer fork at tpruvot's ccminer repository because of the support for SM 2.x cards on the latest version 1.7 x86 build. There's mention the x64 version is for SM 3.5+ cards and the release 1.7 also includes Lyra2RE v1 and v2 improvements, happy to try out soon what kind of performance these elder cards give!
If someone wants to try out pooled or solo mining with tpruvot's ccminer, download latest from https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases and post a result how it works

All NVIDIA miners, please post results how getwork solo mining works with these two mentioned ccminer builds!
