nice coin,will mine some.
February 10, 2014, 08:06:39 AM
is this just a failur because the coin hasn't started yet?
yes! it's because full source code will be released at launch time.
the good news is you were able to compile/link, so you have everything correctly set up.
At launch time, just update your source files from the repository, recompile, and you're ready to go

Truly excited, I'm sure this coin can go places with an active and supportive dev as yourself gatra!
Keep up the good work and let me know if you need any help promoting.
Cheers!

ty waiting to mine it

I hope compiled versions for windows will be available at launch.
Yes, they'll be available. I'm having problems with some antivirus detecting it as malware because it's based on code from the cpuminer that may have been used for botnets (I even deleted the sha and scrypt mining code but they still complain).
But of course it's a false positive and executables will be available.
February 09, 2014, 05:05:26 AM
The external miner "cpuminer" (executable file is "rminerd" to differentiate from the original "minerd") requires the same libraries as Pooler's cpuminer (libcurl) plus gmp. To compila, you will need autotools too.

Excited for this project! Any ballpark estimates for memory throughput requirements? How large of a sieve is used?
In the external miner, sieve size can be configured via command-line parameters but the default is 1Mb (per thread). I believe best results are achieved when the sieve fits in the processor's cache. But this will depend on your hardware...

That's interesting. But since we don't actually know whether there are infinitely many sextuplets (and certainly can't assume such sextuplets exist in a given range of values), doesn't that mean that it's possible to hit a difficulty with which no block will be possible to find?
It's not proven, but sextuplets are believed to be infinite. If we ran out of sextuplets I would be very happy because Riecoin would have served it's purpose of helping science! It would be an important result for mathematicians. And the coin wouldn't die because we could switch (hard fork) to prime septuplets or octuplets, etc.
We can't be sure such sextuplets exist, but it is conjectured that distance between sextuplets is O( (log p)^6 ) and the max distance between them is O( (log p)^7 ). An interesting article on this can be found here: http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.2242
This max distance (believed true but not proven) adds an interesting feature: in theory if you are very unlucky you could do sha256 hashes in Bitcoin style for years and still produce no blocks. But this maximum indicates that if you mine long enough then you will find a block: as long as k*(log p)^7 fits in the nonce filed, you could assume that there exists a nonce that produces a block. Bitcoin does not have a theoretic background that allows you to claim that. We do. It's only conjecture and not proven, but lots of mathematicians believe it to be true. I admit this is not very useful because not only you need to find it, you also need to find it before 2.5 minutes. But being (almost) sure that the nonce exists feels good.
Also, with pooled mining, since finding a quintuplet is O(logp) easier, that'd mean share value would need to adjust with the difficulty (since greater diff - bigger p - easier to find a quintuplet compared to a sextuplet). Which would be quite a nuisance (though I think XPM does that, it's still subject to readjustments on, for example, YPool).
It's true that share value has to be normalized for difficulty. But that's not a problem, since we have a formula for that. Moreover, the relative value of sextuplets to quintuplets, quadruplets or whatever the pool decides to accept, can be computed too using Hardy Littlewood k-tuple conjectures.
Ypool based relative scoring of XPM shares of different chain lengths based only on trial and error.

gatra which libraries are going to be needed for compiling? The same as bitcoin or do we need something else too?
Will we be able to solo mine with the client or are we going to need an external miner?
Will we be able to solo mine with the client or are we going to need an external miner?
Whether the cpu-miner (not wallet-miner) will be available during the launch?
The client/daemon require the same libraries as Bitcoin.
The qt client has an embedded miner, but it's slow, the external miner is recommended.

I just translated the launch post into Chinese as below:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annric-pow-feb-11-2014-454135
By the way, I registered this ID for protective purpose, and the domain http://riecoin.net too.
I will only use them to promote riecoin in China, and will be pleased to return them if necessary.
Finally, have been looking forward to this for quite a few months, and wish riecoin stand out.
