Topic: [ANN][RIC] Riecoin: constellations POW *CPU* HARD FORK successful, world record - page 3. (Read 685220 times)

Riecoin Core 0.20.0 released, hard fork information, and new Forum

It has taken some time, but the Riecoin network is now ready for the hard fork, with almost every miner, pool, and a majority of nodes having upgraded to 0.20 RC or planning to do it soon.

In order to finalize the fork, the stable version of Riecoin Core 0.20 has been released, and a Mainnet fork block has this time been set. The Riecoin network will hard fork at Block 1482768, or around March 29, which should give plenty of time for anyone still using old versions. Please upgrade to 0.20 as soon as possible!
Find the latest binaries here.
Exchanges and other services like Block Explorers will directly be notified about the fork.

As a reminder, the fork brings an important PoW upgrade, allowing miners to find much more interesting prime constellations and beat records, improves the Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm and implements stricter time checks to make the network more robust, and fixes some protocol design issues. You can learn more by reading the previous news, which also reminders which actions to take if you are still using older versions. In these cases, even though the upgrade should go fine, we always recommend to backup your private keys just in case.

If you already upgraded to 0.20 RC, the only thing you have to do is to restart your node with the stable 0.20 version, and you will be ready for the fork. No other action has to be done.

One more news, Riecoin now has an official forum! News will starting from now always be posted there, and development discussions will mainly take place here too, rather then being spread throughout Discord, GitHub or other places. The forum will help to organize discussions and make them more open and broad. We recommend everyone interested in Riecoin to join the forum!
The Riecoin Forum: https://forum.riecoin.dev/

i mined there for quite sometime and never had any issues. i migrated my miners to primapool few months ago because it was the first pool ready with the latest updates
you can find xpoolx in discord channel ( https://discord.gg/xHD27pwa ) and discuss any issues if you hadn't try that already

I do not advise anyone to mine on the pool xpoolx.com.
Statistics are not displayed, mining is in vain, the admin does not want to pay the rest.

Happy 7th Birthday, Riecoin!

To celebrate, a bounty of 77,777.77 RIC is offered for a new prime k-tuplet world record using Riecoin software!
And another 77,777.77 RIC for a great Riecoin mining app for Android!

Ah I just got information regarding the fork, unfortunately no one contacted me earlier, I'll upgrade and let you know once everything is upgraded.

There is of course the different PoW (Cunningham Chains vs Prime Constellations for Riecoin), the most obvious change in practice is that Primecoin is GPU mineable while Riecoin is mined with CPUs. Then there are several parameter changes, like 1 minute average block time for Primecoin and 2.5 minutes for Riecoin, different block reward system, etc. The communities are also pretty distinct with their own visions and goals.

Updated pool information can be found here. https://riecoin.dev/en/Pools
PrimaPool is the first 0.20 ready pool. XpoolX is also 0.20 ready since a few days ago, though it still has the old version too.

You can get some info in the news about the fork. https://riecoin.dev/en/News/Riecoin_Core_0.20.0_RC_and_rieMiner_0.92_released
It was from almost 2 months ago and the hard fork is unfortunately delayed due to several actors being unable to upgrade quickly.
Currently the fork is mainly on the pools' hands. 0.20 stable with a Mainnet hard fork block cannot be released until most pools and their miners have upgraded (most of the solo miners already upgraded to 0.20RC).

Thank you! Had nodes added for for some reason windows firewall blocked it and had to do entry manually to start sync. Is there discord?

As far as I can see all pools on 16. Fork is to rev 20. Is 20 only solo right now? Please give some more information of fork?

most explorers have a network map. Take one or two of the IPs and configure them with the addnode command.

I got wallet. Download bootstrap. Add nodes from explore and it still will not sync. No network activity at all! Any suggestions?
Is there discord?

what is the difference between primecoin and riecoin?

With its scientific usage of PoW, I reckon Riecoin (RIC) could easily x7-x8 its All Time High (ATH) of $0.56 and hit $4 in the next parabolic Bitcoin bull run in late 2021. It's an absolute BARGAIN for all us prime number fans at the current price of $0.002 a coin!

Riecoin Core 0.20.0 RC and rieMiner 0.92 released

The Riecoin second fork implementation was completed and Riecoin Core 0.20.0 RC was released. Binaries can be downloaded here.

Along with Riecoin Core 0.20.0 RC, a new stable rieMiner version was released, required to mine with the newest software. rieMiner 0.92 can be downloaded here.

The Riecoin website has also been fully revamped and proposes much more documentation than previously.

Testnet will fork at Block 79056, in about a week but can be less or more depending on mining activity there. No fork block has been yet decided for Mainnet, but it will probably be about one or two weeks after the Testnet fork depending on how ready the Riecoin actors are and if major bugs were discovered during the Testnet fork.

Starting from now, the cooperation of everyone involved in Riecoin is critical to ensure a smooth upgrade.

Read the news on Riecoin.dev to learn more about the fork and how to be ready for it.

Donations for the work done on this 0.20 upgrade would be appreciated a lot!

as PttnMe stated above, you just need to make a post first to be "activated" for antispam reasons.
Everyone can participate in discord, feel free to bring your ideas or suggestions

Everyone can participate in the original Discord. You just need to make a post first to be "activated" for antispam reasons and to help having people actually involved or at least interested in Riecoin rather than some random people that randomly clicked on the invite link.
Getting full permissions is not immediate, sure, but the "only a handful of people have the power to converse" is just plain wrong.
If many don't like this system, I am willing to change it, though it has fair reasons to be there. But no reason to start pointless wars splitting and harming the community by creating another Discord.

Made a new Riecoin Community Discord for anyone who wants to speak freely and ask for any help. Our goal is to be a community that works together so feel free to join if you'd like. https://discord.gg/GdYMs3

Hey we have a problem with the current discord. People don't have permission to talk which is a bit against the point of having a discord, don't we think? We want people to be able to talk and be involved but instead it's like only a handful of people have the power to converse. Doesn't seem right to me. Either it changes or I'll make a new discord where everyone is welcomed to speak.

Very nice news PttnMe !!

thank you and everyone involed for your time and hard work !!

i see that discord channel got pretty lively as well, i have to find time to update miself with all these new stuff.
