  but it should be this ,,,,,,, hmmmmmm


https://github.com/photonproject/photon/blob/master/src/protocol.h#L21  35556  there is a typo in the op !!!  omg

In the example photon.conf given in the first post port is set to 34556. This does not seem to be the port the latest client uses as default, 35556. Because of this addnode was failing for me when trying to add new nodes when those nodes were using the 34556 port setting in photon.conf.

We are looking into why this block took 3 hours to solve
The main nodes of the network all show similar info as does the block crawler

http://162.243.101.139:2750/chain/Photon?count=100&hi=32893

Thank you for support & mining !!

My wallets seem to be stuck at block 32805. 4 connections. The block explorer also seems stuck at this block?


I mined block 32806, finally...but something appears off given these timestamps.

Nothing changed in source code but I built this wallet with upnp enabled so you will get more connections

I realize some prefer not to use this type of wallet for security reasons

Working well for me though

http://www.mediafire.com/download/4x9l018sgux08ez/photon_win_qt_8.9.1.1_upnp_enabled_.release.7z

as requested if you need it here is a compiled daemon Photon build for linux
http://www.mediafire.com/download/je4sy7kiz5upijx/photond.7z

i can post one , is the make file for level db in there ?

i finally got github to accept it after someone else thankfully did a git pull

are you getting this error when you go to make the wallet itself ?


i mean where you type

sudo make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=1

is there a linux QT wallet? i tried compiling it but get the error "No rule to make target `build_config.mk'."

Would be great to get a few others to join us in the New York pool , only a few of us there,

BlueDragon747 has a SECOND merged mining pool up and running now !!

The first pool opened last night is holding over 250 giga hash and seeing lots of action

Here it is !!  Mine Blake Coin and Photon at the same time !!

http://ny2.blakecoin.com/

thanks for the answer DEV
i think i need to read again to fully understand it
and as you said i can mine both coin in same time with 1 certain power and have them both like i mine them individually with that power? that's cool
im gonna go and doing some search about merged mining
its interesting, really is

Good questions !

Yes, in this pool you are mining Blake Coin (the parent) and Photon (the child) at the same time.

Photon difficulty has gone up as expected.

You can still mine Photon or Blake Coin individually in a pool or solo.

But .... why not get 2 for 1 ?

Your hashpower is an expense (or investment) and everyone wants to get the most out of what they have. If you mine scrypt 1024 coins like litecoin, feathercoin, doge ect... you have to pick 1 coin to mine at a time. We all know the popularity of 'switching pools' like middlecoin or waffle pool that auto switch for you and convert to bitcoin for you. Currently you need about 5 or 6 megahash to yield about .01 btc a day. If you are using gpu's this means you need about 8 good cards at once to make $5 a day at current price levels. This does not even cover the cost of electricity.

Merged mining is the future if you think long term.

Blake Coin and Photon together is just the start.
The ability to mine up to 10 (possibly more) coins at the same time with the Blake 256 algo is possible and those coins are currently in development by others.

Development of merged solo mining is still being worked on also.

Soon more merged blake 256 pools will be available soon. Right now (less than 12 hours after launch) we only have one running and lots of people are joining the party.

I never launched Photon to 'enrich' myself. If you consider the large block award of Photon and the fact that it is now permanently going to be a lot harder to mine I think it rather obvious. I don't ask for donations on projects I am involved in development of.
My motivation for Photon was to be part of a new powerful blockchain and system that uses an algorithm (Blake 256)
which based on my research (and others) has every necessary advantage to be a worldwide alternative to bitcoins (sha 256d) blockchain. I am not saying Blake Coin is the 'bitcoin killer' --- there will never be a bitcoin killer nor would I want to see bitcoin replaced ever.  There should and will be successful alternatives for everyone in the world to use in the future. Blake Coin + Photon fit the bill perfectly. With no premined coins , no attempts to 'pump' or 'push' the coins at everyone , no outlandish claims , this project has been and will continue to be run honest and fair. I welcome anyone with experience to contribute to the future development of Photon on github. When the dust slowly clears and people wise up to the ipo/premine/ (insert new scam here) the Blake 256 blockchain is going to be running along and ready to welcome them. I am not paying anyone to advertise the project, push it into the media or ram it down the publics throat. I am confident that as Blake Coin + Photon evolve others will get involved. The results speak loudly all on their own.


From a mining standpoint the ability to use cpu's, gpu's and fpga boards to mine multiple coins at the same time is a big advantage. Even though scrypt 1024 has popular coins now (also a lot of unpopular coins and minor players including things I personally developed) .......No other coins offer you this advantage.  (except the merged mining of bitcoin, namecoin, iX coin, devcoin + iO coin) The difficulty of bitcoins blockchain makes all these really hard to mine and that assumes you own the specialized equipment you need to mine.


Finally to answer your question is your hashpower 'split' ... NO.
In the merged pool you are earning shares in every round that contribute to your Blake Coins per day and Photon per day.

You are correct the pool stats show shares of Blake Coin now only. Soon you will be able to see more stats on both.  To prove it is working as I say sign into the pool and start mining.

Then check your unconfirmed balance of each coin after a few dozen rounds.

You will find it matches up real close to what you would yield with the same hash power mining Blake Coin or Photon alone. Coming soon will be more stats it is all being 'figured out' as you said.

Many people doubted this was possible or was going to happen.

A lot of people even with experience have never even heard of merged mining or thought it was possible.

Here it is. !

Bluedragon747 the dev of Blake Coin made it happen.

Finally the network hash rate you see calculated in the rpc console for Photon is an average based on the last 120 blocks. Since difficulty adjusts faster (20 blocks) as the weekend progresses you will see Photon network hash rate climb.


Stay tuned. Thanks to all who have offered support and who have mined.
Special thanks to the exchanges who support Blake Coin and Photon.

You aint seen 'nothin' yet !

sorry for saying this, but i don't get the whole story of merged mining
i see the photon difficulty raised up from 600 to almost 8000 now, so congrats
and i can mine photoncoin in both photon pool (http://photon1.blakecoin.com) and blake pool (http://eu3.blakecoin.com)
now, what if i want to just mine the photon in blake pool? is it possible?
and if i hash in blake pool, does my hash go for photon and blake coin in same time?
i mean i hash in there and with my hash, i can mine both coin in same time with same hash power? or the pool will separate my hash for each coin and i have less power for photon compared to photon pool?

what a question
hope you figure it out

btw, pool statistics in http://eu3.blakecoin.com just shows me the details about blakecoin, is there any way to see the photoncoin status in there too?

thanks

In his timezone he may be crashed out now /

I would see if he answers your question here or ask in the Blake Coin or Photon thread on cryptocointalk

I must say the merged mining is working great,

When you can mine 2 coins at the same time you know this is the future and while merged mining is done now with bitcoin

Even if you have 500 ghs what are you going to earn .01 btc a day ?

Only those who control massive hash power can really mine the merged coins with bitcoin now.

Someone above mentioned merged mining getting more popular.

I have seen a few scam type operations out there but I am not aware of ANY other coins that are currently merged mined
in this fashion other than bitcoin/namecoin/iX/iO/devcoin   

Please point me to any links or resources if I am wrong since I have never been big on pool mining and prefer to solo mine normally ......

How do I contact BlueDragon regarding issue in the pool?
I can't set Auto payout to more then 1000...
It would be great if limit could be raised (at least for photon)

Great news, off to try it out

Merged mining is becoming more and more popular .

Merged mining seems to be working solo for me at the moment, thanks to you and BlueDragon747.



Done

Bluedragon has released a merge mining pool for Blake Coin and Photon

http://eu3.blakecoin.com/index.php


BLC+PHO AT THE SAME TIME !! 

To say I am excited is understating it all !!

The work is impressive,  bluedragon747 Blake Coin dev and others deserve the credit for the merged mining, i was working on it but far far behind them.........
