Also, what would the math be for finding approximate time-till-block given a difficulty?

My 8350s (at stock) seem to all be averaging around 1500kH per core, for a total of 12000kH per processor. Running at 54-59C with stock cooler.

i keep getting "stratum authentication failed" 
what does this mean 
well i hope we figure it out
what does this mean guys - my pool doesn't work - please put your hashes elsewhere for a while 
well i hope we figure it out

Oh god, what's with the difficulty? The hashrate can't possibly be that high.
double checked and it is working mostly as expected and even dropping now
best I had in dev tests was difficulty of 166 and that was stable over 48hrs so yes hashrate must be that high
I could reduce the steps even further to reduce large jumps which I had thought was solved
Edit:
also please keep it in mind that this is a new algorithm and a new coin only just released which might have a few bugs that need solving, I would like solve issues like this early so we can continue to mine this coin for some years to come, I do need some input from the community

Wow difficulty up high now.
Is this coin's name in honor of Blake from the Key & Peele sketch ?

lol good sketch
The difficulty is climbing higher each re-target than I had first thought maybe we could adjust from a future block 2000? to a new rule with an even lower increase per re target?
this is the calculation for that cap
3600*100/115
looking back at my notes during dev tests we could try something like
3600*100/103
also things like adjusting re target time and block target time also apply but can cause more stale blocks etc
Please tell me your views and I will work on a solution and try to apply the fixes when I add more checkpoints also fix the makefile for Linux builds to reduce issue when building from Github

guys - my pool doesn't work - please put your hashes elsewhere for a while
http://blc.coinmine.pl/index.php?page=gettingstartedshould say -a blake

I can't believe I've got so much help. Great community for this coin.
Yeah it has been good feedback from everyone so far please keep sharing info and reporting bugs and I will try my best to support Blakecoin over the coming years.
I have spoken with kramble about the fpga miner and he is going to have a look at it for us, I really respect the work kramble has put into his fpga litecoin miner fingers crossed we get good results from the blake algorithm
Blakecoin is not yet perfect and still has a few bugs to sort out but I am an open developer and more than happy to take feedback and work on solutions for the community

one of the makefiles needs a fix I think will look into it
I copied the leveldb makefile from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/leveldb/Makefile and it worked OK on raspi (just compiling the daemon though). You also need to create the src/obj directory before running make.
Just for info, this is what I did to compile on raspi wheezy (dependency info from https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-with-raspberry-pi-191729 )
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libboost1.50-dev libboost-filesystem1.50-dev libboost-system1.50-dev libboost-program-options1.50-dev libboost-thread1.50-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libdb5.3++-dev libminiupnpc-dev
There was also an issue with the berkley db library ...
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldb_cxx-5.1
For which I hacked a fix by doing this (probably a completely atrocious hack, but it did get the linker to accept it)
cd /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
sudo cp libdb_cxx-5.3.so ../libdb_cxx-5.1.so

Can someone provide a tutorial to make it work on Linux ?
for ubuntu 12.04 I build as follows
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git-core build-essential libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb5.1-dev libdb5.1++-dev libgtk2.0-dev libminiupnpc-dev qt4-qmake mingw32 synaptic qt-sdk qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-core libqt4-gui libdb++-dev
blakecoind:
sudo make -f makefile.unix clean
sudo make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=1
Doesn't work because of levelDB.

I got it working on ubuntu with 'libleveldb.a' and 'libmemenv.a' copied from the quarkcoin leveldb directory.

Hope there will be a pool.
Solo mining is not suitable now
Solo mining is not suitable now
I am working on pool now - it should work now but still in beta!
http://blc.coinmine.pl
stratum: 6040
feeleep
something wrong with block submission - please stop mining until I confirm it works
it tells me quark is not a valid command (or something like that) maybe i need the algorithm ?
you need to use "-a blake" instead of "-a quark"

blakecoind:
sudo make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=1
should have built at this pont
sudo apt-get install blakecoind
chmod +x blakecoind
sudo ./blakecoind -daemon
will error 1st time run as we need to create a conf file
cd /home/UserName/.blakecoin
sudo nano blakecoin.conf
now run
sudo ./blakecoind -daemon
check running
sudo ./blakecoind getinfo
for blakecoin-qt:
sudo make USE_UPNP=1
hope that helps
Initial setup on Linux can be a pain
if anyone has a better way or has different build instructions on other Linux distro's them please post your config method
