The block reward appears to be consistently decreasing. The first block I mined was worth 2481.75. Maybe it is some sort of exponential decay from 2500/block?

That "newmint" : 7251.48000000 caston's getinfo output shows might be how many coins the next block will mint?

Maybe they set it up to give tons of coins to first few miners, less to others later?

Haven't read the whitepaper yet... (Coin first, settle down to read once coin is coming in...)

"newmint" is equal to the total coins I have mined. It may only refer to unconfirmed generations, but since it takes 520 blocks to mature, I do not know yet. I've mined quite a few blocks and the reward drops slightly every one.

Is there anyway to find out what kind of hashing power is being thrown as this?

I am unsure if I should let it keep mining or just give up.

I have been mining since release but haven't yet found a block.. I am using cgminer with a single 6950 with locked shaders and I'm on wifi to my adsl router ):

getinfo
{
"version" : "v0.1.0ppc-beta",
"protocolversion" : 60001,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"balance" : 0.00000000,
"newmint" : 7251.48000000,
"stake" : 0.00000000,
"blocks" : 170,
"connections" : 30,
"proxy" : "",
"ip" : "x.x.x.x",
"difficulty" : 332.00664925,
"testnet" : false,
"keypoololdest" : 1345399274,
"keypoolsize" : 101,
"paytxfee" : 0.01000000,
"errors" : ""

BTW do I get anything for posting a ppcoin address?

Using just half the hashing power of my 5870 I got a block in minutes, I wonder how it decides how many coins to assign though, look at how many I purportedly get:

Code:

        "account" : "",
        "category" : "immature",
        "amount" : 2331.41000000,
        "confirmations" : 3,
        "blockhash" : "000000000030f4d84dbc5ca5aa7c7465f7f8ee89b5c77750acd3401ea7476166",
        "blockindex" : 0,
        "txid" : "7f9322b86c8b5d4db4af890b7bf8a8126fd73c84fda60c7374404d0752ec4c31",
        "time" : 1345424597

this can be mergemined with LTC someday?

edit: lol i should have read markm's post lol . I assume so !

I haven't read anything about it being merged-mine-able, yet it claims to be energy-efficient.

I don't' see a lot of efficiency in requiring the use of more electricity instead of simply adding it to one's merged-mining lineup...

So far it thus looks less energy-efficient than Namecoin, Devcoin, Groupcoin, I0coin, Ixcoin, and Coiledcoin, all of which can all be mined at once using less added electricity in total for the lot of them than this newfangled thing uses...

I tried to get the client running but it says something about RPCpassword and such Tongue

Anyone care to help me?

//DeaDTerra

you need to make ppcoin.conf

in ./ppcoin folder

I have made on in the roaming/PPcoin it's called ppcoin.conf
and it contains
rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
rpcpassword=
but it doesn't work
//DeaDTerra

You need to give it a password.

I gave it a password, still didn't work. Must the pass have certain characteristics.
//DeaDTerra

I have similar issue as mentioned by DeadTerra....

Message says that there is no file is there C:... /ppcoin/ppcoin.conig....blah blah

Yet I had created the file etc.. was editing it and not sure why still getting message....

RESOLVED - Looked in the folder where the config file should have been .. and there were 2 files as one wa already created... and with all the lines commented out... altered the lines

rpcuser=User
rpcpassword=pass

and that got rid of that error message

However now i just get blank screen on running ppcoind.exe Huh

Huh

Any ideas.. setting in config i take it... alredy allowed access through firewall.

- Initial release is command line (daemon) only. If you don't know how to use it read Bitcoin wiki and our wiki or ask others for help.
- Proof-of-work difficulty starts at 256 and then continuously adjust (same as bitcoin hash algorithm)
- No premine. See the prerelease thread. Release build was published 5 minutes before block chain start time
- Checkpoint will try to checkpoint *every* proof-of-work block. This way malicious powerful miners can't kick good nodes' blocks. We will review this policy after the network begins to mature.

You get to "mine" proof-of-stake by holding-and-spending coins in a manner that maximizes their age.

In principle, the idea is rather good.

In this implementation - not so sure Grin

I still do not understand proof of stake very well. Do miners collect transaction fees just by holding coins?

What miners is this supporting ?

scrypt

Quote from: Greedi on August 19, 2012, 03:56:09 PM

@Sunny King how can the diff be that high?

It is that "high" because it is not scrypt based. Standard SHA256.

then i'll need to ask, how can i mine with scrypt ??

You can't, because it's based off SHA256.

Sure i can Simran, else i would not say if.. doh..

Any miner should work. I'm using cgminer.

Hmmm, no idea. There are no special password requirements, a single character should work even.
