New rieMiner Release – 0.91A minor release is out: rieMiner 0.91. It brings a few enhancements, but no performance increase. A miner could as well continue using 0.9 without much issues. Find the latest Win64 and Deb64 binaries
here! Updates:
- For Solo Mining, Bech32 addresses are now supported (only P2PWKH for now though, P2WSH support may eventually come later);
- Some minor interface changes, in particular a better estimation of the time to find a block, and there is now a proper and very precise earning estimation in Pooled Mining in RIC/day!
- There was a bug which broke the statistics in Pooled Mining when the Difficulty changed, this is now fixed;
- When mining using a Primorial Number bigger than 40, the base primes shown are now correct. This is important for people trying to beat records with the Benchmark Mode;
- The memory estimation is more precise.
If you compare Solo and Pooled Mining performance, you will find out that Pooled Mining is around 10% slower than Solo Mining. It was actually always the case, due to the condition of what makes a submission a share (first number prime and at least 4 primes in total). Thus, the issue is not at the miner's end, but the pools' one, and there is no way to fix this unless pools change the conditions of what a share is. In Discord, I gave a detailed explanation of the problem.
We still reminder everyone that
we are always looking for new developers so we can make more exciting releases more often!
Help Riecoin get listed on c-Patex.
Voting list is here.
https://c-patex.com/voting-en.phpI already nominated and gave my 2 votes for Riecoin.
To vote you need to be a registered user of C-patex and own some PATS (their own currency). PATS howevewer are not deducted from your account after voting, so you can just buy some PATS, vote and then sell them.
Sounds good as the exchange is listed in CoinMarketCap, even though it is still one of these tiny exchanges. I might see how much a Pats is worth and vote as well.
Not much news from Guytp and Zapple nor a lot of changes since months is also a bit concerning.
Hey guys, I've been paying attention to the Hashrate Distribution of the network and uBlock.it currently has an Extraction Share of 46% of the last 100 blocks and 39% of the last 1000. Maybe someone could help steer this percentage back down? Anyways, just showing my concern. I'll try to add more power to the network here soon, but I'm just a small fish in this pond.
Unfortunately for now it is very easy to acquire enough computational power to mine a significant part of the blocks. Someone or a few people (and not a lot) is mining there with a lot of power, and as long as there are only few Riecoin miners, we cannot do much unfortunately. Spread the word to make new miners join!
