Topic: [ANN][CACH] CACHeCoin released based on scrypt-jane - page 72. (Read 224425 times)

p2pool is finding around 2-3 blocks per day currently.

More like 3%, haven't seen coins yielded in 3 days now in P2Pool.

Yes

Thanks for the answer!

Ok so it's normal that around 20 coins after more then 14 days have not staked (and over 1500 confirmations)?

No, no need to activate anything. 7 days is the minimum.

I really don't know how the stake function works.

I had some cach coins in my wallet for more then 7 days now and the wallet is open 24/7. Is there anything i need to activate in the debug menu or console?

I actually had just setup the env ready for patching but hadn't started anything. Something more important came up and I had to switch. And then forgot about it until now 

What is the status on its integration? Is it somewhere like perhaps 80% done (in that case it would be wasting time if I started from scratch), or it is just in todo list without any actual work done (so I can perhaps start doing it)?
Or is it half-done somewhere where I can perhaps pick it off and finish it?

It is not so slow, but with relatively large block time (15 minutes) and hashrate dropping to 10% it means the expected block time raises to 150 minutes.
Only 10 block have been mined with PoW since the nfactor increase, and due to random nature of the mining (sometimes you need to do 400% of expected hashes to find a block sometimes if you are really lucky you get a block under 1%) there is a limit in how fast you can adjust the stuff to avoid overadjusting (like setting 100x higher difficulty when seeing that "1%" block) and how far in the past you have to look for the statistics.

Also, as people will fix and retune their mining rigs, the hashrate should gradually increase to about 40-50% of previous value.

And if you look here: http://cach.catcoin.cz/index.php?page=statistics&action=blocks
You can see that this pool had very good luck with last 4 blocks (got them in time that would otherwise yield only 1 block in average), so with this luck (pool getting 4 out of 7 last PoW blocks) the diff have not dropped as much as it would without it (with only the average luck the pool would have taken only 1 block out of 4, with bad luck 0 out of 3 ..)

I guess that good luck just ran out (now at 77.82% of expected shares and still nothing, although there is still chance to find next block before the expected time , so I guess the diff will start dropping much more quickly in the next few blocks

But for p2pool the confirm times are the same - while you'll see your balance in your wallet, you won't be able to send the coins anywhere before they mature (which takes 520 blocks, about 5 days).

So there is actually not much difference between traditional pool (coin mature 5 days in the pool and then you can request a payout) and p2pool (coins mature 5 days in your wallet before you are able to send them elsewhere) in this. In both cases the coins will be available to you after about 5 days. This is dictated by the coin design and you can't speed it up.

I did take a look at the coin control. Even was about to patch it. Don't remember why i didn't go through with it. Probably uni exams.... But yes, it was (and still is) on the toadd list

What about coin-control?

Patch that allows you to select which coins do you spend when sending them, so if you have several incoming addresses in a single wallet, like "mined coins" or "donations", you can select from which coins to send payments (by default the wallet just picks up addresses more or less randomly). For example, if you want to gamble part of your coins, you send them from personal address and not from donation address (that would look in blockchain like you are gambling with donation money ...)
Some info here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/yet-another-coin-control-release-closed-144331

As a side effect it can help to make bitcoin (and other coins possibly more anonymous, as you can ensure different "money threads" in your wallet are not tainted with each other.

For Cachecoin with PoS it can have also one nice side effect - in the coin selection screen you see all the coins along with their age, so you may optimize the coin selection when paying in a way to increase your chance to stake some coins (i.e. sending payment from 5 days old coins is better than from 30 days old).

I planned to integrate it about a week ago, though I was also quite busy with other stuff. If I'll rebase the coin control patch for Cachecoin and send a pull request, will you be interested in including it in CACHe?

Maybe I'll look at the zerocoin too, but as I am quite busy with other stuff, I can't yet promise anything

I would give 1k CACH to anyone that is able to successfully integrate libzerocoin into CACH. Fantastic idea.

Rules of this bounty would be that it is:

1. Coded Clean.
2. Functional
3. Accepted into the main branch of cachecoin by the dev

If all of this is achieved you will get 1k CACH (Currently ~$4K)

We are currently looking into integrating libzerocoin into cache. Unfortunately, we are quite busy with other stuff going on at the moment, so don't hold your breath for it to be done soon. Any assistance would be appreciated. If possible, just submit a github pull request if you are able to integrate it.

This coin has a really slow difficulty adjustment. Kind of old time coins.
Global hashrate is only 10% of what it was before N change and diff just went down from 81 to 64 !
Is it dev's goal, only POS ?

You can still use p2pool and you will get your coins right into your wallet.
