hi

I like this, will mooon, 1000+

https://discord.gg/Re69prZK

discord link is invalid.

People moved to Kaspa that is running modified heavy hash with a lot more solid foundation and solid exchanges.

Another abandoned shit?

I like the project... HODL oBTCoBTC

FYI I've seen in the discord that the difficulty issue has been fixed, it is now lowering very well 

Oh I'm aware, they saw this coming from a mile away.  This difficulty issue is precisely why PBTC was forked and created (though that projects seems to be dead now).  The OBTC devs were warned way in advance, and they absolutely refused to fix this in early November even because they didn't want to change the blockchain.  And here we are, almost two months later with this stupid problem of 1 or 2 blocks every several days. 

That being said, don't look at the wallet release but the github checkins instead.  They have to test it first. 

I have to remember that there are many people who aren't tech savvy or software devs who are into crypto. 

Is something going on with the network? The last block found was 5-6 days ago, the network hashrate has 1+ TH/s of uknown hashpower, my rig isn't being recognized on the miner.  Is the network in some state other than fully operational?


Edit: Looks like difficulty started clinching down on the network about 1 month ago.  It went from the standard number of blocks per tokenomics to 1 or 2 a day and then further infrequent blocks found since then.  Looks like the dev team is making strides to correct this issue.  They have a test net after determining a best course forward.  No ETA it doesn't seem, but the project is far from abandoned it appears.

Started to mine today. Is there any way how to calculate how much is one able to mine thru the day?

I just want to end my opinion here. You can assume whatever you want, if that makes you happy. I am following both the projects from day 1. If you want to discuss more, join discord.
I am too a holder in both the coins and not against pbtc, they have their own plans. But creating hate is not good for both the project , it is even not good for pbtc which is a fork of oBTC.
In both projects, I am in under 25 richlist, but I am nowhere blaming any project and following both.
If you have any confusions, discord is best place to discuss.

I think you are just spreading hate for a new project which is having a unique idea of optical miners.
Secondly there are real people with their identity open on twitter and LinkedIn and if any new project like pbtc will use the name or idea from obtc or opow then definitely they need to protect themselves by giving disclaimers about other copy projects to protect their names if in future there is a fake project.
What you say about no community developement. I think you have not been to discord. There is a community site, explorer, wildrig dev has given support to develope miner, many other people are helping here like helped in bridging to BSC chain. The core team is busy with the actual development of miner and other softwares.Go and check the GitHub, check the optical miner prototype. It, is people who believe and mine, they should work on community part and not development team, as they should be busy with core and other dev part.
There is no coin where the richlist don't have top wallets, check ravencoin or any coin they recently have boomed. Go and check the richlist.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer.
I will follow the development of both projects.
I also mined both coins, I will not make any hasty conclusions, time will tell.
Both projects seem interesting to me.

There are two explorers -
One is from powx team -
https://explorer.powx.org/

One is build by a community member-
https://obtc.txrat.com/

This one has richlist.

Block explorer needs rich list at least.

Really interesting idea. This coin deserves more recognition.

Less than 24 hours to go for BSC wrap. 15th December

Anyone thats new or needs more info, join Discord and check out their updated website at https://opticalbitcoin.com

Also please vote for oBTC on https://coinsniper.net/coin/21656

Cheers  

New SRBMiner out for AMD miners, faster 'heavyhash' algorithm.
https://github.com/doktor83/SRBMiner-Multi/releases/

This is getting popular, already there is a fork of oBTC in the market.

Yea, you can mine both on zergpool now.

A new project has appeared PhotonicBitcoin https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-photonicbitcoin-revolutionizing-proof-of-work-opowpow-5375854
This is a copy Optical Bitcoin.
There seems to be an instamine there.
We should expect the appearance of new forks-copies of this coin.

Logically yes, this should work on all projects that run on heavyhash.


Guys we need your vote on https://coinsniper.net/coin/21656
It takes two minutes to create an account and validate your vote.

It is very important!
Thanks for your support 

Will the optical miner work for coins other than OBTC optical bitcoin?

For those of you wondering... oBTC is the only oPowX supported heavyhash coin. Any clones, forks and new projects based on Heavyhash are all by products from oBTC and opowx.
Nothing wrong having multiple projects. That just proves how important the ORIGINAL oPoW coin is in the future. Members of the community, including myself know that the future of mining should be highly power efficient.
Just remember who started the future of optical mining - Optical Bitcoin!  

I remember you, your avatar is a cat beeing high

Same situation, a dude was trash talking about adjustable diff, I was defending the project and got banned when he got. I remember taco explaining why it wasn’t that simple. Sad to see he also got banned later.

Why are you all banned? There must be a good reason why? I'm curious?

Same man.  I just got banned myself.  No idea why, tried to reach out and I just got banned again.  Still wish the project well, and it'd be a shame if they decided not to ship my miners to me.  A real shame indeed.  Oh well, I'll just support it with my hashrate and be on my way.  GL oBTC team!!!

@Just a Dude: You're the best man.  Keep up the hard work!

I just got banned from the discord server and i do not know why...
I was just passing by in an argument when someone with a Rick avatar got banned and i got too after i typed "ummm hello".
(My username is the same at discord if you would unbann me please... )

I've been following this project since March and I am convinced this is going to be huge in the very near future. Here's a link about the technology the project plans to use for their algo HeavyHash mining.
https://www.wired.com/story/chip-ai-works-using-light-not-electrons/

There's a lot being talked about in their discord channel which I highly recommend joining to keep up to date.
It is currently traded on the Exbitron exchange and a Binance Smart Chain wrap, known to be as wOBTC, is coming on the 12th December along with Avalanche, meaning Pancake swap and so on!

On YouTube, there's a recent interview (talk only) with community leader 'Just A Dude' which you'll find here:

Cant join discord , invitation link is not valid

Traderjoe & pancake on 12.12.21

I will wait and also want to see if this coin can reach the main exchanges in 2022 if the development team provides.

Yes, other exchanges are needed.
1 exchange is too little.
And besides exchanges, you also need to use the coin, services so that people know about the coin and start using it.

Prepare other exchanges?

I think so
This is a great time to buy a coin" which we think is worth fighting for in 2022.
We hope that the performance of the development team will continue and work very well.

The team is developing optical processor which consumes low energy compared to existing high power consuming mining devices.

The coin is getting listed on bsc and avalanche on 12.12.21 which will give high exposure.

Hashrate to 3.5Th/s
Buy more now.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

wait and see .

btw difficulty is raising quickly and solo mining with 1 gpu is nearly dead
some big farms already in .

this coin could reach a major exchange on 2022 if the dev team provide a good work

time to buy some and stock into sleeping wallet . 2$ is the cheap time

The future looks very promising.

Synchronization nodes:

Russian translation - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/optical-bitcoin-obtc-opow-5373557
I will follow the development of the project.

It may be increasing for now, but it is not clear for me what exactly is their main goal for this coin? They are saying this will solve problems for a lot of people but how? I may not be seeing the picture here. Because if the coin is not available in several exchanges, how will people use it? So please enlighten me how this coin will solve all the other problems that bitcoin failed to address?

$3.7 per coin wow
Hashrate at 1.9Th/s.
This coin is going to the moon.

The coin looks great. There is every chance of community recognition

It's already on the OP
The founders of PoWx are Michael Dubrovsky and Bogdan Penkovsky, however, there are many contributors. More details are available on Github: https://github.com/PoWx-Org/obtc-core/blob/master/README.md

Are there nodes for synchronization? My wallet doesn't want to sync without them?
Unexpectedly, trading on 1 exchange and the price is already over $ 2.
Who is behind the development?

That is absolutely false. This is probably the most fair mined coin you can find. The chain was reset right in the beginning to give everyone a fair chance to mine because of low difficulty. The difficulty was increased doing so.

Optical Bitcoin is stronger than ever.

And no mining machines were sold, they are still in development.

Liar team, refer to here. . After the mainnet was launched before, the team saw that everyone had mined some coins, so they changed the main chain and didn’t exchange it. The team with no credit would plummet after their mining machines were sold.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-obtc-5324899

The mainnet just written at the beginning. . . Later, you modified it into a testnet. . It’s just a team of scammers, without credibility

Whats this for fuckin Difficulty? Makes mining Dead...

Price going up I suggest buy before 10$

Buying 200,000 oBTC @ $.25, Make counteroffer, DM. We will just use the exbitron exchange though.

Wow, 650ghs and climbing.

someone who decides to sell me some coins

There is no ASIC miners on oBTC.

Based on the dying hashrate is this asic stuff? https://miningpoolstats.stream/opticalbitcoin

I am honestly impressed with the quality of this project, I have rarely seen a community so determined to send a cryptocurrency to the moon.

The real question is: Why invest and mine Optical Bitcoin (oBTC)?

My answer is very simple! Because it is the future of Bitcoin and probably of crypto-currency in general.

Many people are concerned about the ecological impact of crypto-currencies in general and... WOW, this one is really exceptional.

The developer team is doing everything to release a quality Optical Miner and the community is really putting in the work, it's great to see people working day and night for such an important project.

I'm proud and happy to be part of this growing community. Together we WIN.

Optical Bitcoin (oBTC) is going to solve a lot of problems for a lot of people.

If I had to bet on one cryptocurrency, this is it, 100%.

If you're still hesitating, stop. This is the future.

Looks great !!!
Optical mining seems to be a very good option which will save a lot of electricity and solve a lot of problems.

This looks like a rebirth of bitcoin.
I checked the teams behind the coin. It is worth to check this coin.
Thanks to the developer hard work and come with something innovative.

Amazing project!

The team seems to be really serious and very skilled.

What is Optical Bitcoin (oBTC)?


Optical Bitcoin [oBTC] is a Bitcoin fork using oPoW, a proof of work algorithm for optical computers developed by PoWx (www.powx.org).

We originally published an experimental net in March https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-obtc-5324899

The network has proved stable after the initial adjustment to the genesis block difficulty. We're excited to announce that going forward, oBTC is running as the mainnet, not an experimental net.

More about Optical Bitcoin:

What has been changed in the Bitcoin codebase?

The Proof of Work has been swapped for oPoW and the halving period has been doubled.

What is oPoW?

Optical Proof of Work, a hashcash derivative that is compatible with existing optical computers developed for AI.

Who is Behind PoWx?

The founders of PoWx are Michael Dubrovsky and Bogdan Penkovsky, however, there are many contributors. More details are available on Github: https://github.com/PoWx-Org/obtc-core/blob/master/README.md

Current State of the Blockchain


The chain was fair-launched on bitcointalk as a live experimental net with an empty genesis block and has been running for some time now with miners all over the world contributing hashpower. The current block height is 30111.

Project Goals


We outlined the value proposition of oPoW in our paper, blog posts, etc. over the last several years. The long-term goal is to shift the PoW ecosystem to low-energy computing, making the hashrate more resilient and enabling a much broader geographic distribution of mining. Please see www.PoWx.org
