Hey guys, I just wanted to stop by and say I think this project is awesome! I went ahead and setup a pool for you guys. Enjoy!

I think it is safe to say that the recent "band-aid" worked and brought the chain to life. Thank you to all parties involved!

The fact that someone drove the price way down on Cryptsy probably helped the fate of this coin during the short term. Although if I had seen the price drop I would have liked to sold some. I think CRC is staying just under the radar as WDC and SPT are gaining more attention. I am back mining CRC for the next few days (630Kh/s at the p2pool), I sure wish we had more steady mining. I am not in it for the coins anymore just to help the network.

Many ignore transaction reward (apparently), but it sometimes seems to help. Maybe some people are watching manually.
ya as soon as i see a diff jump i'll push one though
August 16, 2013, 02:44:49 PM
when's the next retarget? we are top 10 on coin choose and are starting to get hit with some 5mhash rigs
Every 12, so pretty much continuously updating (9576 was last one).

although as soon as i notice it happen i am gonna put a 100crc stimulus transaction to encourage ppl to keep mining! just an FYI

The difficulty drop / rise is too steep. Make it 10-20% and it's fine.
It re-targets every 12 blocks with a max change of a factor of 2.
It is supposed to take into account the last 72 blocks when it does that. That won't happen until block 15000 though.

the way to fix that is interest in the coin we need more miners! the diff didn't really break last time we just had a ton of miners and when diff hit 20 most of them left leaving the rest of us holding the bag. but we can't get more miners without spreading the word simple as that! if a server uses this coin they end up with a vested interest in the mining of the coin and they will likely encourage mining as a nice "free" way to get coins!
I think the first step is making sure the difficulty returns to a reasonable level, and getting transactions squared away. If there are 1000 servers that use CRC, it doesn't help if they have to wait a few days for a transaction to confirm.

ya we need to start promoting this coin and getting more server admin's running the coin on there server. but step one is spreading it around as many minecraft forums as we can. i'd do that but i am a crypto guy who got into minecraft for this coin! making this my main minecraft form
We all love minecraft, this coins needs to feel some of that love

yay diff drop to 5.34307618 looks like our temp fix is holding for now i was a little worried there for a bit

No they don't because they just calculate based on current difficulty and market price
If we could ask these sites to kindly take the coin off of their lists, this may not still solve the problem.
I tried another "bonus" transaction fee. I wonder if sites like coinchoose take that into account. August 14, 2013, 05:06:23 AM

Well, they are providing a service.
Coinchoose has a leaderboard.
Craftcoin mining is currently 185% as profitable as bitcoin.
Nanotoken is 1000% as profitable. However, the 2nd to 10th are around 300-350%.
That seems the standard range. This means that the "natural" difficulty is around 5. If difficulty is 5 or less, then there will be lots of hashing.

The problem is we need more cheer-leading and advertising to get steady miners back on the scene.

we stalled again at 10? really?!?! come on miners
I pointed my measly 840Kh at it overnight, found 2 blocks. Unfortunately this coin is still listed on sites that give certain pools the go ahead to come and devour the coin until it hits a high enough difficulty again. If we could ask these sites to kindly take the coin off of their lists, this may not still solve the problem.

The target for 12 blocks is 3600 seconds
Diff: 2.6
9371: 11:21:25
9360: 11:18:18
Time: 187 seconds (16 seconds per block)
(way to fast, so diff doubled)
Diff: 5.3
9383: 14:01:31
9372: 11:21:47
Time: 9584 seconds (13 mins per block)
(to slow so diff halved)
Diff: 2.6
9395: 14:26:31
9384: 14:22:53
Time: 218 seconds (18 seconds per block)
(way to fast, so diff doubled)
Diff: 5.3
9407: 14:44:03
9396: 14:26:42
Time: 1041 (1.4 mins per block)
Diff: 10.7
(to fast, so diff doubled)
Both times the diff dropped to 2.6, the hash rate increased a lot. This suggests some of the coin choosing pools are adding hashing power when the diff drops.
Ironically, this might push the difficulty up past 20 again
. This suggests that it was the stall risk, not the underlying value that caused the drop in hashing power.

The pool has been extremely lucky!
http://crc.xpool.net:8830
Found 14 of the last 19 blocks with a third of the network hash!

How often are the blocks coming? I see 9347 and it is around an hour old.
