fairly distributed they say ? mining for over 12 ours straigh all i get is Accepted 0 in XXX seconds !!!

if i could count all accepted 0 it would be awsome !  Cheesy Wink


all arround 68980 khash/s


same here. mining prior to block reward start. min 12 hours. using own slightly optimised (~15-20% cpuminer)
0 blocks, not even orphan . waste of time.

I'm open to offers.

1.25M numbers/sec on an i7-4770.  Not too bad. :-)

How to start mining with rminerd_win64? How to configure bat file? Can someone give me a sample?

You have to start the wallet after customizing riecoin.conf, specifying:

rpcuser=blah
rpcpassword=blahblah
rpcport=1111
server=1

Then connect to it with the rminerd using 'rminerd.exe -o 127.0.0.1:1111 -u blah -p blahblah'

It should show hashing going on if it's working properly.

From a quick examination of their miner, it's less than a day of work for a good programmer to get a 5-10x speedup.  Someone who's had experience in high performance prime sieves could get more in less time.

(I hacked on my own version briefly and got an 80% speedup with about 30 minutes of work.)

I'd be surprised if there aren't at least several private fast implementations done already, devs or otherwise.  Doesn't mean the devs did it, of course, but I'd bet money that someone did.
Where's the code with those 80% speed increases? Or do you prefer to keep them to yourself? Wink

I'm open to offers.

how many computers are mining this coin now?

can some body give a estimate on whole nethash rate?

thanks


the hash rate is more than 2T or not ?

I will say that since the standard for coin launches is so incredibly low, this was, by comparison to the vast majority of shitty altcoins, a good launch. I still don't understand why devs feel the need to set an arbitrary date and time to launch without having any clue whether or not their coding will be ready by then. Why not finish coding BEFORE launching?

Coding was done days ago. But the genesis block must include some news or something public from a date close to the launch to PROVE that you didn't keep the client for yourself and mined it in private. So after you set that, you have to recompile. For all platforms. 32 and 64 bits. If something goes wrong, you are in trouble.
It is done this way to avoid premining in private and then forcing a reorganization by publishing your secret blockchain.... I was setback because I used gitian to compile, which is really cool, but if something goes wrong each compiling attempt is very slow and it can be a PITA.

I'd say the launch itself was not as I wished, but still acceptable, except for the distribution problem. If it's hard to find a block it's not my (or anybody's) fault, it's because people throw a lot of processing power at this, but they are investing a lot too. The problem is I didn't foresee pools were so necessary....

we really need a pool, p2p pool or ypool is ok!

tron666: if you are mining scrypt with megahashes/second on your CPU then I want to have one of those too Tongue

Gatra: premining is detected fast enough, and since your first 500 blocks were reward-free (by which time plenty of miners confirmed that they were actually mining the first blocks) I'd say a 2-3 day old genesis block wouldn't be an issue. However, building stuff for Windoze can turn into a nightmare very fast, especially if you're not experienced.

Pools are the way to keep small miners (like me) in the game, since I cannot produce 100s of cores, my reward will be either zero or a full block, with the first the most likely. With a pool I get at least a few crumbs, which smooths out the reward/t curve.

Dose anybody know how to connect more CPU to one wallet? I can only connect 4 CPU to one wallet, the fifth will show error message.

HttP request failed:

json_rpc_call faied.

Add
Code:
rpcthreads=50
to your config file

are people who are not getting any coins mining with the right algo?  The default algo is scrypt for the miner.

-a primesr

just and idea, I havnt gotten a coin with my i7 8 cores

Letting go of my RIEcoin (RIC)

250 Confirmed RIE in stock, offer me by pm me

We can deal in batch, smaller chunk etc.

Do look at my rep thread at my signature. I am sincere seller.


haha hard to mine now, i think we will hit a exchange platform soon!

also some guy says:

Great launch!

Yes, there was some little problem but the more important was the fair launch, and i think it was a success.

Now we need a pool. Ypool said they will add it for sure. But I don't know when exactly.

And an exchange. I'm trying to convince mcxNOW

from gatra:

Hi!

I'd like to thank all the people how participated on the launch yesterday. There were some problems, but overall I think it was an acceptable launch.

Some lessons I learned on my first cryptocoin lunch:

- The first blocks without reward seemed silly (who would mine for nothing?) but it turned out to be a good idea. Good for testing everything is working.
- Binaries must be ready from the start, or rogue wallets with virus might spread. I'll forget about this thing that the coinbase should have some recent news, the best is to have everything ready at the time of announcing the launch. To avoid premine, let everyone with blocks with 0 reward be the witnesses that the chain wasn't started before.
- Hard starting difficulty is good. It's fair. But.... (see next point)
- ...pools really are really important! I thought that pools where bad, agents of centralization, and that distribution "on the long run" would be the same if pools didn't exist, but now I understand that they are needed for good distribution of the coins, because "on the long run" difficulty changes and smaller miners cannot compete.
-Always keep people informed of what's going on!
- Be wary of giving estimates! As a developer I used to be good at estimating effort. The thing is that even if effort estimates are correct, I cannot estimate when will I be able to put that effort in practice. I have a job and 2 kids IRL, I love them and they take a lot of my time... (and I'd like to thank my wife for her help while I'm working on this) the point is my failure was at predicting how many hours I can put on this.
- I can't do this alone. I need a team.
- I won't make money with this. Need to think more carefully about monetizing.
- What else? please comment

Things to fix in the next release:

- On the rush to launch, windows wallet came out with bitcoin logos
- On getinfo and getmininginfo, the difficulty is rounded to the integer. The difficulty in getwork (field diff) is the size of the primes, and it works ok. But the difficulty in the getmininginfo and getinfo commands should be the ona on getwork divided by 304 which is the minimum difficulty. So it started at 1, but the thing is that it's an integer division so it's not much useful.
- Add checkpoints and seed nodes
- What else? please comment

Where to go now?

- We need a pool urgently. I'm working on a p2pool and will give support to those how want to implement pooled mining.
- Please promote! we need services, exchanges, everything. Go to your altcoin payment service provider and ask for riecoin. Go to your exchange and ask for riecoin. Go to your mathematician and ask him to take a look at it, etc
- should we go like "so numbers", "such prime", "much sextuplets", "the Chinese are in", "to da moon!"... does that work?
- Please contribute: we need a block explorer

Please help me make this work!

Thank you!

So do we ever get a pool to mine?

Maybe a bounty for the first pool?

Maybe p2pool?
