I feel sorry for the fool who paid 4btc for 100k+ worthless coins...

The coin was revived for one reason alone - to be dumped on the stupid.

And let's me guess. You are the dumper like before? Your hatred towards all altcoins because you got burnt with Myriadcoin makes you like this ? Fair. But really you don't need to come back Wink

Well I missed the low point, but I still got a decent chunk with my leftover btc

Made me feel a little better about not buying more sooner when it was still developerless

someone is dominating the POW Part with a optimized Miner quite hard. The 4 BTC Dump @BTER is the Evidence for that.
Is the Algo switch an thing which can be achived quite easy? If we stay with this algo, i think the price evolution will be quite dramatic due to the large dump's we will see from that one Person.

I vote to switch to a "tried and true" algo... SHA-256, scrypt, x11... PoB is the interesting part of this coin.

157991 SLM was just sold @ BTER... Maybe it was the optimized miner owner?

Might be from a early miner. Remember this coin stayed low for months with ridiculous low difficulty. With a few CPUs you could find plenty of SLMs per day.
If I remember correctly, primer- did have a lot of SLM before. He could be the one who dumped.
But it's only my guess.

Sample count values [seem to] confirm extreme optimization for processing over memory usage with occasional high values. So who is mining with their own software?

EDIT: Just did the calculation on a few blocks I minted myself with PoB and found their count values to be in the range for random hashes, as expected.

I just hashed all the block headers in the blockchain file (did not prune orphans because meh) and found the average "count" multiplier for the internal buffer size in lots of 1000 blocks. Here is the results:

Code:


 1000: 1035, 2000: 1014, 3000: 975, 4000: 955, 5000: 1022, 6000: 1082, 7000: 929, 8000: 947, 9000: 931,

Up to block 17000 the internal multiplier looks like what I what I got from sequential data (basically random hashes) but from there it steadily counts down.
I'm not sure if this is evidence of a GPU miner or someone who is optimized for low memory usage on a CPU or something else. But the most likely explanation is that someone or many people are mining hard with a software that is optimized completely in favor of processing power over memory usage. I would expect that even if there is a GPU miner the hashes from PoB blocks would make the internal hash more random though.

What is the ratio of PoB blocks to PoW blocks?

I'm beginning to think dcrypt is no longer a CPU-only algorithm, judging by the concentration of hashpower of the past few days in a few addresses. we might need to come up with a new one hmm. as someone mentioned recently, the assumption of the unbounded scratch space is not true (i.e. you only need a small fixed amount of memory if you are willing to make certain trade offs), and it's operation intensive rather than memory intensive.

A little more fiddling around and I have gotten about a 20% speed improvement by aborting the hash function at count = 120. What makes my eye twitch a little is that I can get a 30% speed improvement on top of that by re-writing

void digest_to_string(u8int *hash_digest, u8int *string)

in

https://github.com/slimcoin/slimminer/blob/master/dcrypt_sha256.c

to

Code:


char * byte_to_hex =
        "000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f"
        "101112131415161718191a1b1c1d1e1f"
        "202122232425262728292a2b2c2d2e2f"
        "303132333435363738393a3b3c3d3e3f"
        "404142434445464748494a4b4c4d4e4f"
        "505152535455565758595a5b5c5d5e5f"
        "606162636465666768696a6b6c6d6e6f"
        "707172737475767778797a7b7c7d7e7f"
        "808182838485868788898a8b8c8d8e8f"
        "909192939495969798999a9b9c9d9e9f"
        "a0a1a2a3a4a5a6a7a8a9aaabacadaeaf"
        "b0b1b2b3b4b5b6b7b8b9babbbcbdbebf"
        "c0c1c2c3c4c5c6c7c8c9cacbcccdcecf"
        "d0d1d2d3d4d5d6d7d8d9dadbdcdddedf"
        "e0e1e2e3e4e5e6e7e8e9eaebecedeeef"
        "f0f1f2f3f4f5f6f7f8f9fafbfcfdfeff";


void digest_to_string(u8int *hash_digest, u8int *str)
{
  register int si = 0;
  register int i = 0;
  for(; i < SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH; i++)
  {
    memcpy(str+si,byte_to_hex + hash_digest[i]*2,2);
    si+=2;
  }
  str[SHA256_LEN] = 0;
  return;
}

Which gets rid of the expensive branch and shift operations and just replaces it with a lookup / copy. This function converts a sha256 digest (32 bytes) to a lower case hex string. This is called inside the mixer function every time the internal buffer expands because for some reason they couldn't have used just the byte values (wtf: where they intentionally making it resource intensive in a way that can easily be optimized away?) which means tens to thousands of times per hash.

I'm not a great programmer but thats why I'm a little concerned that I could get such a significant speed improvement. I'm sure someone who knows what they are doing could do much better.

I'm not saying the dcrypt function should be replaced. Thats up to you guys but from my perspective it seems like it was knocked together just to be a different but probably wont stay CPU only if it isn't GPU mined already. I think the important aspect is Proof of Burn not what hashing algorithm you use. As far as a fair distribution is concerned I think dcrypt has done its job and even if an ASIC is made for it eventually it wont be broken completely until sha256 is.

The lack of new function, lack of marketing, hope a123 go ahead!，I have always been optimistic about this coin！！ Grin

Yea think it has a lot of potential, hope we're all able to work together to raise awareness of the coin Cheesy

I've posted up the fixed submitblock code, still with a quite a bit of debug commands that should output to your debug.log.

This should work nicely with NOMP code without much changes, just need to disable sha256 checks, as well as run a JSON RPC Batch proxy to split the batch commands into individual calls.

Native batch support will probably need to be fixed via a code-base upgrade.

First pool and first large pool bounties still open!

(If anyone noticed a short disconnect from the pool, apologies! I was testing the code to be committed)

Ok gotta go to bed, didn't manage to clean up the code yet. Will post up the updated submitblock code soon!

(PS -- I downloaded the 0.3.2.1 Windows build from the Git releases, and it was crashing again like the old wallet did. I've had to go back to 0.3.2.0 for the time being. Sad

)

Any idea why? Dya have a debug log of what led to the crashes?

Dcrypt algo and CPU mining is OK with me! Someone will eventually find a way to mine it with a GPU or ASIC + CPU / RAM combo and cpu coin pools will always have problems from botnets obviously.

I have to agree here. Switching to a different "CPU only" algorithm seems like a lateral move at best.
