Topic: [ANN][AUR] Auroracoin - a cryptocurrency for Iceland - page 243. (Read 506409 times)

If OP can make the airdrop work it'll be huge.  Bringing in a bunch of people who haven't touched crypto before is one of the biggest reason DOGE has been a success, and the airdrop could do the same thing.  I think there's a lot of value to being someones first coin.

It would not surprise me if this coin would pass litecoin at some point. This coin has been on big media channels and it's getting harder and harder to mine.

Looking at the block explorer for a recent block that contains transactions, it seems there is no minimum fee, some transactions have .001 and others have 0.  They should really drop what they are charging, given the low rate coins are mined at .1 is nuts.

0.1 withdrawal fee, wtf? They even say it's a network fee and the pool doesn't take anything. Is this true?

If so how come other pools have 0.01?

Why is poloniex exchange frozen?

nevermind:

I agree, the Tech specs need to be posted in the first post just like all other coins are doing

Yeah, and seems that nobody gives a fuck about it.

Could anybody post a proper spec summary in the first post please??

Best pool i have ever used! Fast feedback responds! After downtime they upgraded their severs, made backup stratum etc.

I use    http://aur.easy-mine.eu/
Although there was one downtime once, its working great and seems very fair pool (150 miners are mining currently)

I sent him a PM, hopefully he will respond soon!

Yeah, I checked there and on the website.  Don't see a tidy coin spec summary anywhere.  Main.cpp is one of the source code files, you can get it from github if you are curious.

Thank you, I don't know what "main.cpp" is. I've only read the op post and didn't see anything about block target time.

Just dropping by to let you guys know that its official: https://twitter.com/LazyCoins

You're one of the first coins we have selected for our exchange. We are working hard to launch beta soon. So for ETA and updates please follow us @lazycoins.

Retweet and show your support!

balduro, what are your thoughts on the erratic block times?  I've been watching closely today and I think it's more complicated than just "diff is too high for a few blocks".  Just over the last few we had a ~1 minute block, ~15min block and we're passed 1 hr trying to find 2787 - all with roughly the same total network hash rate.  KGW isn't going to magically fix this I don't think, since it won't adjust diff mid-block.  It seems like having a high diff (to target 10 minutes) with a fairly low network hash rate (about 1 gh/s) magnifies the randomness.  

FWIW I'm calculating the network hash rate from totaling the 3 big pools pages reported Pool Hashrate.  They are pretty consistent with cryptoculture around 500, aur.pool-a ~300, easy mine ~200.  I don't see any evidence of a private pool like middlecoin jumping in and out since all the blocks from 2770 on are showing up on one of those three pools.

EDIT: just saw two blocks get mined within a minute of each other.  pulled from the block explorer to show what I'm talking about
2783 - Time: 1393006158 (2014-02-21 18:09:18) @ DIFF 364.999
2784 - Time: 1393008017 (2014-02-21 18:40:17) @ DIFF 243.334 * 31 min
2785 - Time: 1393008109 (2014-02-21 18:41:49) @ DIFF 243.334 * 32 seconds
2786 - Time: 1393008936 (2014-02-21 18:55:36) @ DIFF 243.334 * 14 minutes
2787 - Time: 1393015166 (2014-02-21 20:39:26) @ DIFF 243.334 * over an hour
2788 - Time: 1393015170 (2014-02-21 20:39:30) @ DIFF 243.334 * only 4 seconds!


EDIT 2:  It looks like there might be a multipool jumping into AUR periodically. http://blockexplorer.auroracoin.eu/a/apx5e  this APx5E26TGu4vbvvGencXAFcHC3HjPSgWRX
 address has grabbed the last 6 blocks in about 30 minutes and none of those block # appear on any of the AUR pools I'm aware of.  Interestingly the reported networkhashps is under what the 3 big pools total so that appears to be calculated using an average of more than those 6 blocks.  I'll stop adding to this now, I promise :-)

The operator of aur.pool-a.net is still not responding to those miners that are locked out of their account. I am constantly getting questions about the pool. Miners beware - you will not get the support you are paying for in fees with aur.pool-a.net. I advise you to stay away from it until its operator owns up to his responsibilities.

Hi,

First of all thanks to Fabrizio for promoting my pool, and second to those mining on my pool who are donating.

I set the pool up with no fees and only 0.01 AUR txfee so there is no revenue generated.

The only revenue is through donations that can be set at the miner's discretion.

I will not be here posting every half hour how many coins the pool has paid out already or what not like other ops do, and why to choose my pool instead of others as I personally don't like this kind of competition. My goal is to provide support for a coin without reaching 90% of the nethashing power.

Feel free to send me suggestions and if anyone has issues with their account please use the contact form and I'll do my best to assist.

I receive notifications from the pool to my mobile so will be able to respond while not at my desk.

Happy hashing!

Poloniex exchange has added this coin. Please add it to original post.

It's in main.cpp

Difficulty pumped high again. 

So go post in their thread. Not here.
