I lowered the difficulty to 3 on stratum-mining and about 90% of shares are invalid.  Huh Although, the valid share rate is about what I got on ypool with xptMiner...

Status: pool mostly set up.. testing right now

My 1500 buy wall just got destroyed. :/
How did this person get so many RIC?  Huh

No idea. About to put up more walls if price goes lower. I don't mind but its depressing my coins are losing value atm.

CTO @ Flixxo, Riecoin dev
Mining 4 cores on an Intel Core-i5-4570 on ypool using their standard XPT miner.
7.55 shares on Ypool. approx 2 coins per day.
Windows 7 64 bit version 8GB RAM 200GB SSD 2TB HDD.

Thanks Dave for your blog article I loved it.

Is it possible to get a plain english version of the POW?

1. Block code created with all transactions in it.
2. Hash taken of this block.
3. Prime sextuplet found such that all six primes add up the hash.
4. The number of leading numbers ignored = the difficulty factor.

Am I on the right track here?
I have a love of mathematics and am prepared to learn C++ in order to help with miner optimization.
But I don't have a clear grasp of what the POW is doing.
Help wanted.



this part here looks more like Math than Code:

Code:
Let S be the sha256 of the first part of the block header (the nonce is not needed).

In binary, let basep be an 1 concatenated with eight 0's, concatenated with S, concatenated with as many 0's as needed to reach the required difficulty. Let Z be that quantity of 0's.

Find X such that basep + X is the first prime of a prime constellation of size n, where n is hardcoded at 6. The value of X should not be larger than 2^Z

Working on my pool now.. should be ready in less than 10 hours

cool!

this is my attempt: http://imgur.com/CWcnfIe

Invalid shares are from before fixing the bugs, and the RIC/USD price shown is actually from LTC, but I got only valid shares after fixing everything.

Obviously my cron jobs are not ok... but one thing I still don't understand is that the shares table has much more shares than shown in the dashboard.... anyway I think it has to be an mpos problem, not a stratum-mining thing

I saw logo talk a bit earlier...I'm new to RIC, I love the logo.

Is now a good time to buy?

Congratulations, I see that you've released your YPOOL miner and I believe that the RIC network difficulty will be at its highest this week.

Last weekend, I fully implemented my miner using x86-64 assembly code in order to have a fair comparison with my GPU implementation. On the same hardware, with 20 Intel E5-2697 v2 CPUs total, I can now solve 24-32 blocks per day (@1300-bit difficulty) when taking the orphaned blocks into account. I currently do not have any server hardware that can support the AVX2 instructions which would have resulted in a 30 percent increase in performance.

Congratulations again - I will be back to this hobby late April or early May.

Sorry for the typos, I am on my smart phone as usual.

I did - privately for now, and I'll open source it in a few weeks - and with the help of a brave soul on ypool, diff has reached a new peak.  1368 and probably rising.  I don't have a great comparison with the 2697, but it sounds like you've still got a 20-25% edge on my miner.  I still haven't -- and don't want to -- touch the gmp internals, but it's getting closer to that point.  Currently sieving out the first 200m-1b primes (depending on memory), and it's diminishing returns.



So it is time for me too stop mining Rie with my 4 puny cpu's now?

No - diff should drop again.  This was a bit of an accident - it sounds like someone forgot to tear down some aws instances.  Amazon made a lot of money.  The miner, not so much.  *wince*

I'm going to start trying to clean up the horribly ugly hacks I did when trying to make my miner faster in a hurry and put them into an open source version.  I don't want to start my own, because I've proved incompetent about supporting windows and things like that.

Is there a preferred miner into which to do it?  Gatra, I know you're working on stratum support.  Which miner would be right to work on in order to be compatible with the stratum pools that will hopefully be showing up soon?

price still droping! wtf? I'd say it's botnets dumping...

As long as you, the dev, does not vanish like artos and Stablecoin and keep up the great work at adding new features to Riecoin, the community will always back you up however we can. Hopefully we can get more than 1 dev to back you up and leave you with less work and more time to think of new features to add. Riecoin value will rise as the community grow so no worries right now. Marketing will be on its way as soon as Riecoin becomes more popular. I will try to support it to the best I can.

stratum-mining is accepting shares and writing to the DB!
my pool still doesn't work (mpos configuration issues) I'll clean up the code and upload everything later, we should have more pools soon!

give me some hours and I'll do the formal Thursday status post, it may come late, but it will still be Thursday.. in at least one time zone...
I'll upload to github the stratum-mining, the cpuminer with stratum support, and a new client 0.8.8 (update required only for pool operators)


price still droping! wtf? I'd say it's botnets dumping...

Great news! Since you confirmed of new client and working code to get more pools working, it boosted my confidence, off to buy more riecoin now.
