Pretty Bazaar voting situation.
We totally dominated voting on CryptoALTex and took the top spot in about 2 days. Each person could only vote every 12 hours and we got more than 200 votes.

MintPal which is a very good exchange that would really benefit us, gives us the ability to vote every hour which could be about 5 to 15 votes per person a day.
But we only have 62 votes total in about a day? Over 20 of these votes are mine as I have a couple of Mintpal accounts I use for trading. Comes in handy for voting too.

Why aren't more people voting?

Just a little statistic: If we are only going to average 65 votes a day then we might get listed on MintPal in 334 days assuming the top number doesn't get driven up any higher.
Or we could purchase our way to the top for 21.681 BTC

Based on the way we voted on CryptoALTex I thought we could do 300-500 votes a day easily for MintPal as we get a lot more votes a day but I guess that assumption was pretty far off.

666 blocks before reward drops from 75 => 50

=> 1332 minutes => 22.2 hours

get that 50% extra reward before it's too late

does anyone know when the block rewards are paid? I mined some of them (I saw them listed at the pool info), but no reward was applied.

Thanks!

It takes a small amount of time as the blocks have to get confirmed before they are paid out.

PS https://www.mintpal.com/voting is backup after maintenance and voting can commence.

GREAT...
next goal: 100 votes

1 vote per hour now Sad

. greedy mintpal...

but everyone is getting 1 vote per hour so its same like before.

agreed, but the top coins already advantaged with the 10 votes/hour

was 5/hour before, but that was not the point, now 1 BTC can buy more % of the votes than before since now it can't be diluted by people voting instead of paying.

Yes but my point was that solo mining is more efficient that using a pool, I still don't know if it can be done with your miner, I tried to use it but now testing more I noticed the function hefty_prepare_work on line 169 of heavy.c:

Code:

applog(LOG_DEBUG, "Hefty masks for %f, tbits %d: sha 0x%08x, keccak 0x%08x, groestl 0x%08x, blake 0x%08x", work->sdiff, tbits, work->blk.sha_mask, work->blk.keccak_mask, work->blk.groestl_mask, work->blk.blake_mask);

always show work->sdiff as 0.0 when solo mining, why ?

Anyway using your pool for now during the weekend I will dig deeper.

Cheers!.

Edit: I am a noob in mining and crypto in general, but has been very fun until now, please correct me if I say or if I do something stupid Cheesy

.

It is absolutely possible the miner is broken for solo (for HVC it is): getwork/getblocktemplate methods in both coins do not byteswap block header data like most other coins do, the miner does not account for that.

Hi again,

If anyone care, else just ignore Tongue

. Just tested the MH with different diff, it didn't improve as much as I was expecting but anyone here are the results using I 9 and work size 64 I tested using 2 280x.

diff	Hashrate MH
0.03	36
0.3	39
3.0	41
9.0	41

Cheers

How did you do that? Were you solo mining?

No, manually edited the miner to fake the diff for the benchmark.

At 0.2 difficulty the miner spends on post-HEFTY hashes so little time it can be neglected. At the same time, this value is safe to stay under network difficulty until at least one GPU miner remains on the network. This is why it was chosen for the pool.
