I jumped on this coin because of the interesting algo and the CPU mining thing... so, I think it deserves more attention, yes. However, today's miners are: 1) ASIC fanatics (for profit) 2) GPU fanatics (geeks)
I believe that cpu-coins should gather more attention because, in the end it would be nice to have millions of small CPUs mining around the word instead of the "farms". It is easier to spread shares over CPUs than GPUs because the average user (not the average miner!) is not into that kind of thing.
Meanwhile I spread the word (already got another guy mining) and let's hope for the best!

Hi, I see difficulty drop to 1679 - seems like miners are leaving this coin ...
I'm short of time unfortunately, but possibly with some help with math (montogmery reduction,rns) a GPU miner will see the light of the day soon.
Any ideas or interest ?

Currently this is one of the few cryptos that is CPU-only (at least AFAICT), it could be advertised more maybe?
I would love to see the diff reach new heights and break world-records!

Hi!
I added a zip with the OS X binaries here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/riecoin/upload/riecoin%200.9.1/
could someone please confirm that those work before we formally announce them?
You may need at least 10.8 but I'm not sure about that...
thanks!

Excellent! Thanks Gatra,
Sorry I've been silent. Busy as heck right now. Incompetent people jumping to early conclusion...
May 20, 2014, 10:59:19 PM
I have mined on and off for weeks, yet to hit a block , ever..... lol , not giving up
May 20, 2014, 09:56:56 PM
gatra, thank you for the link.
Which I then realized it has always been in the first post....
I finally realized why I was not able to use the GUI! It is because of the ZIP format.... at home I downloaded the ZIP, tried to run the riecoin-qt and failed. Then compiled ex-novo the cli and started using that.
Now that I'm not sleep deprived I realized that just a chmod +x would suffice... May I suggest you to upload tar.gz files for the linux version?
Thank you for all the help... I'll stick to this coin with my cpus!

Did you get it to sync? it will be slower than for example btc, because PoW verification is a little slower, but if you are using the latest client 0.9.1 it should sync much faster than previous versions: please make sure you have 0.9.1.
Nope... still 7 weeks behind! But this is only a GUI wallet issue... the daemon I have on my other pc is in sync (and took only one night on a slow connection). So, by now I have:
GUI: v0.8.6.0-unk-beta (not in sync but slowly _SLOWLY_ catching up)
riecoin-cli getinfo: "version" : 90100, (synced and the actual host for my wallet.dat containing the coins)
The idea was to have a GUI which is easier to handle on a daily basis. Not that I dislike CLI but....
Do you have a link for the updated GUI?
0.8.6 is old. You should use the qt GUI version 0.9.1 as well, not only it is faster, it also has many new features like coin control.
In Linux, you should find the riecoin-qt executable inside the tar.gz file here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/riecoin/files/riecoin%200.9.1/
In windows, you can download the installer from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/riecoin/files/riecoin%200.9.1/riecoin-0.9.1-win64-setup.zip/download and the setup utility will install the GUI, or you can download the zip bundle from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/riecoin/files/riecoin%200.9.1/riecoin-0.9.1-win.zip/download and look for the riecoin-qt.exe inside the zip. You can use this one without running any installer.

I just mined roughly 1.3 RIC in 12 hours so NOW I am definitely on track!
I'll keep mining this coin for a little bit... let's hoe it will get the attention it deserves!

Ahh thats nice to hear!
For me the modified b15 version from cphr out of the riecointalk forum is a little bit faster than the b14 version but runs also up to 3 degrees hotter on the cpu but who cares as long as temperature is not critical
whats your sharerate on ypool with your xeon?
mine is between 20 to 30 per hour different from day to day.

BTW, any hint on why the GUI wallet is so slow in the sync? I think I've had that wallet open for 4 days with 8 peer connections and I'm still 8 weeks behind!

I would really like to see this POW succeed and ASICS or GPU miners made for it.
Some interesting stuff (mathematically-wise) could come out of it.

how long you let it run...the whole couple of days?
with an i7 930 at 3 ghz using 7 Threads i get up to 2.5 coins a day if i let him mine constantly.

Q1WaR,
yep, the whole couple of days! Even more to be sincere.... Maybe 1 whole week for 2 RIC?? I was on the spot doubting about the miner...
I just made a couple of changes and I took it up to a more acceptable speed:
- b14 is slightly faster then b15 on my pc.
- I put 7 threads as you suggested.
The share/h value jumped from 3.3 to 30.3!! Ten time faster?! Well, it's a welcome result...
Moreover, I noticed that using all the cpu threads was choking the miner, so I left it running on only 7.
I'll see how it goes and report!
Thx for the help.

Hey you guys! ...
...I've been doing some mining with an 8 cores 2.6GHz Xeon and I'm getting really few coins. It's about 0.5 RIC per couple of days... is that normal or am I missing something big? Mining in ypool with the optimized miner found on the pool. ...

Hey you guys!
Just wanted to drop a line to say I jumped on Riecoin!
I find the concept very interesting and hope it will get some attention sooner or later.

Another thing: I used the cli version of the wallet since I started mining but than I found the binary of the qt client and is sycing now. It is taking ages... is that normal? Any upgraded node list?
Thx for the help and keep up the good work!

Excellent choice. Riecoin's price right now is where Litecoin, Primecoin, and Namecoin once were

Bigtruck45,
thx for the reply. I think I'm using the b15 version of the dga miner.... So, as I was supposing, I have some other problem... Maybe something with the pool. I'm on ypool.
Well, I'll keep mining this way for now. Mining Riecoin=it is evident that I don't do this for profit

Use the b14 or b15 code linked in this thread. its much faster.

I've updated the optimized miner to b15. This version currently works only on Linux - I would greatly appreciate some help figuring out what I broke on windows/mingw! I've left the b14 binaries for both linux and windows online.

The basic summary of the below: It uses a lot less memory and is about 15% faster on most platforms. Single-core machines will be unchanged, and on huge machines (64 core) you'll want to run multiple copies, one per processor slot, for best performance. But for most of us on single or dual CPU platforms with 4-24 cores, this should produce a nice speedup. As always, test for yourself.
b15 (2013-04-26)
- Major internal architectural overhaul. Sieving and
primality testing are now divided among all threads
instead of having each do a single operation.
The current consequence of this is a good speedup on
modest-core architectures while using substantially less
memory. 4-16 core machines should be particularly happy with
this upgrade.
Sieves can now be up to -s 4100000000 (4 billion) in size, though
this does not appear to be a particularly useful setting from
a performance perspective.
Single-core machines may suffer a 5-10% slowdown. If this is
prohibitive, let me know, but for now I plan to let it stay
that way.
Very large, slow core machines (e.g., 64 core AMD) are running
MUCH slower. Please either continue to use b14 or run multiple
copies of the miner, one per physical CPU, using taskset.
Windows users must use at least Vista (2006, NT 6.0) or later. XP and
Windows Server 2003 are no longer supported.
