Another question I asked a few pages back...is there a way to show the top ten miners in a pie chart or something?  Would be interesting to know how many large farms are mining SpreadX11.

It should be possible to crawl the blockchain for which address has mined each block. I could probably script this if I could build a local block explorer...  Undecided

That may be as close as you're going to get though - just as it's impossible to assume true coin distribution via address as someone can have multiple wallets/addresses.

That may not be that easy either TLC. I've noticed that my own rig uses a different address for each block thus far. I'm throwing about 1.3 Mh at the network and the couple blocks I've found, each have a different addy. I never set up a dedicated addy for mining in the config file by the way.

I believe I have found what could be a very serious problem with solo mining SPR and master nodes.

Best of luck when you get to that point.

Genuinely not intended as FUD. I think I know what Coins is talking about. Either Mr spread has plans to fix this problem already or the dev team haven't scrutinised the work that Kristov Atlas did for Darkcoin in the context of spreadcoin.

Does Spreadcoin have a testnet? Would be interested to take part in masternode testing.

It IS by definition FUD if the issue isn't communicated to the dev or the community.

There isn't a testnet yet.

I'll put a 300 SPR bounty on a miners hash chart.

I also want to know how the the net hashrate are calculated.

Exactly the same way any BTC derived wallet does so. (I imagine, and don't ask me for the exact mechanics of that.  Cheesy)

The important thing is to have a dev that can code. If he can do that, then he can also change or adapt the code to things that will come up.



+1   It is the abilities of Mr Spread that drew my attention to this coin in the first place.

I guess they are the same person behind different accounts.

Not quite. More like different people with the same goal.

Apologies, was playing scrabble with my wife and will shortly be going to the Arsenal match.

I'll send Mr Spread a message when I get back. 

I only spend time on this thread because I see possible value in sharing developments and collaborating between SPR and DRK.  I'm very much one person with one account (go to Darkcoin.io if you want to check) and no negative intentions towards this coin.  Just because I haven't sent a message to Mr Spread about a possible exploit in the future of this coin within a few hours doesn't mean I'm trying to fuck with your coin  Cheesy

I have no doubt it would be fixable if it is indeed an exploit.

Is there a Spreadcoin testnet?

Spit it out then.  Tongue

Mr Spread was very open about the potential flaws in Darkcoin and gained alot of respect by being open about what he found.

If you have found a flaw, tell Mr Spread, be nice Smiley
I don't know why those people are trying to pretend he knows something

Hello All,

I'm happy to report that an automated script is now available for Linux users to get started with!

This package can take a bare installation of XUbuntu/Ubuntu and prep it for Spreadcoin mining. It can also be used to upgrade an existing rig for Spreadcoin mining. It is split into 5 different scripts that are triggered individually by the end-user followed by system restarts. It contains checks along the way to see whether or not an operation needs to happen (specifically, it checks if Catalyst drivers are already installed in step 2).

  • sgminer1.in - installs common dependencies and other updates
  • sgminer2.in - installs Catalyst driver (14.9)
  • sgminer3.in - installs AMD APP SDK 2.9
  • sgminer4.in - compiles SGMiner (spreadcoindx11-sgminer)
  • sgminer5.in - creates batch file for mining

The daemon is quite easy to configure - just copy & paste the following into a terminal window:

Code:
mkdir ~/spreadcoin64
cd ~/spreadcoin64
wget http://spreadcoin.net/files/spreadcoin64.tar.xz
tar -xvf spreadcoin64.tar.xz
mkdir ~/.spreadcoin
cat >  ~/.spreadcoin/spreadcoin.conf << EOF
server=1
rpcallowip=*.*.*.*
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
EOF
cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s ~/spreadcoin64/spreadcoind .
cd ~/
spreadcoind

Be sure to read the whole Readme at https://github.com/snogcel/sgminer-install-scripts. I recommend installing the daemon between steps 4 and 5, then grabbing a sandwich / beer and hanging out for 15 minutes before proceeding so that the blockchain can sync ;-)

Tips accepted! ShAbDdueCdVuG3huNG9U2m7XFUqY4Hz9sS

Wow, great work! I shall test it later today. Smiley

Who likes my signature?

You might be able to get way with taking out most of the spaces to save some characters. They're in there to force the table's cell as wide as it can go so that the signature sticks to the right side of the screen and not the cell (which ends up being in the middle of the screen). Wink


Thanks for your imput on the signature, great job.
But...
I think it needs to be more of an original Spread Signature.
Now it is a combination of GAW and Primedice signatures using other colors.

Could an S be made out of the blocks?


I guess that'd be easy, i'll just need to change the font size. BTW I used http://tektek.org/color/ for the colours if anyone was wondering.

Excellent work.

e1ghtSpace, can you add this to the mining guide please?

Thanks Snogcel. I'm not sure if it will work on a full member. I think it'll just have small letters and you might have a smaller signature character limit. (4k characters for me)
