I've already asked coinmarketcap.com to add the new pairs to their site.

If you want to help cryptodao, they sent this address for "Bounty/Donation for trader reward and promotion": RYQ65ntxFqAdBnkjkEJQdAjt2z6fEKs52h

Best regards!

Just a note - the fastrie repo is a clone of mine, so let's leave that as the original:

http://github.com/dave-andersen/fastrie

though you should use the stratum branch:

https://github.com/dave-andersen/fastrie/tree/stratum

This is *just* the miner, not the wallet/node.

I don't have much dev time available, but I will look for and accept pull requests to it to keep things going.

The riecoin github repo is still there:  https://github.com/riecoin/

  -Dave

I happen to have a clone of Gatra's repository as of 30 minutes before it got deleted - rather than just uploading it - it should have the full commit history if anybody wants it: https://github.com/guytp/fastrie-gatra - this has none of xpoolx's improvements but is a completely fresh copy if anybdy wants to reference individual commits or wants to fork from it for any reason.  The repo this is cloned from is: https://github.com/gatra/fastrie.git

I'm also happy to make a change to default node IPs that are included.  These look as though they're in chainparams.cpp and current list (pnSeed, lines 26-33) are: 77.172.225.67, 188.26.170.107, 143.108.178.110, 235.157.4.122, 253.11.18.139, 196.11.251.148, 26.87.144.168, 174.48.193.173, 192.115.203.173, 134.200.73.178, 36.150.106.184, 83.148.226.188, 167.159.226.188, 161.149.210.192, 56.218.241.192, 48.209.87.193, 215.34.117.208, 193.93.129.213, 246.67.79.217, 61.252.212.24, 24.75.187.37, 237.107.186.54, 2.177.210.62, 48.239.4.69, 230.19.54.71, 171.73.196.76, 237.178.74.76, 155.89.92.84, 28.246.106.87, 201.99.156.91, 146.155.79.94, 146.155.79.94, 92.6.28.98

Do we know if Gatra is accepting push requests to the original Riecoin repo with changes and rebuilding wallets or whether someone else would have to recompile these now?


I don't mind helping a little if I can.  First time getting back into crypto since 2015 and recently started mining Riecoin again - I cannot commit huge amounts of time at the moment but if rebuilding the wallet with updated IPs or even just updating the header and doing a pull request to the official Riecoin repo for someone else to merge it in and build - then I'm happy to do it

Hi

I've uploaded the code in a github, it have some improvements and build instructions, please test it.

https://github.com/XpoolX/StratumRieMiner

Yes, i also want to have my wallet working, and start mining also.

gatra, there are several in the community who would like to see some new exchanges, would you care to reach out to bittrex or any other exchange to support further listings for RIC?

Some updates to the software should also be in order. Incorporating updated seed nodes would be a big help at the moment as several user are having difficulty with initial sync.

Lastly, are there any plans to incorporate some of the fixes for later versions of bitcoin like satoshi 12.1 etc? I feel that a little effort would go a long way to further establish some legitimacy for this project.

hi gatra ...

your git is gone is it? ...

any places where you keep the updated miners and stratum? ...

we are ready to look more indepth at them both ...

we are only interested in the cpu / gpu miners and pool - and the sourcecode for all ... any closed source miner is useless to us ...

tanx ...

#crysx

There is also a torrent available of the chainstate up to block 654048 if you don't  want to wait for the full sync.
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0B92258C8863B589769BD3099CE89F2CF587007C

had a brain dead moment...
got it now updating thanks.

You need to create the riecoin.conf file yourself. Or you can use the console that can be found under the help > debug window and enter the following.

The fastest open source miner was updated by dga a few months ago, so far only works on linux.

https://github.com/dave-andersen/fastrie/tree/stratum \

Windows binaries are available for the older branch on uBlock.it and xpoolx

Riepool claims to have the fastest miner but it is closed source so I would exercise caution as it may contain a virus. ( I also can't see how it's actually faster, share rate seems to be the same as dga's miner from my tests)

From what I can tell most pools are pretty equal in terms of performance, they appear to all use the same stratum back-end.

Give us a try at uBlock.it, we have over 99% uptime even through all the recent ddos attacks.

thanks for the help,

so i looked in
C:\Users\<_me_>\AppData\Roaming\Riecoin
found the wallet.dat, however I could not find any riecoin.conf

OS: windows 10 64bit

Thinking about coming back around to Riecoin ! Been awhile, anyone kind enough to post latest best miners? And best pool? I know there were some block hopping problems at times, was that ever resolved or a good way to circumvent this if it is still a problem?

no ...

locate your wallet folder and edit ( or create if it doesnt have one ) the riecoin.conf file ...

add these nodes to it at the end of the .conf - and it should pick up one or two of them ...


that should help ...

no community / riecoin owned seednodes are working - so the seednodes cannot be hardcoded in the wallet for an easy and immediate sync ...

try it - and see what happens ...

#crysx

I'm just checking out rio-coins,
and loaded up the wallet,
it says "No block source available..."
3 Year(s) and 15 week(s) behind.
looking at renounce monitor there it isn't even network connection.
anything I'm doing wrong?

hehehe ...

i should have figured ...

RIECOIN - scientifical ptp open source cryptocurrency that benefits on science and mathematical research.

RIECOIN is Bitcoin alternative and unique scientifical peer-to-peer open source cryptocurrency besides Primecoin, Gridcoin, EMC2 and foldingcoin that implemented a unique scientific computing proof-of-work system.
That's the point of Riecoin: the mining process, besides fulfilling its function to the operation of the network, generates series of prime numbers as a by-product. This prime numbers are of interest to mathematicians and the scientific community. Riecoin is proof that it is possible to effectively harness all that massive computing power to something useful other than hashing functions. Above all, Riecoin was launched fairly!
Riecoin is designed to help solve a mathematical mystery involving prime numbers.
As with Bitcoin, Riecoin users “mine” virtual coins using a program that solves a difficult mathematical problem. But with Riecoin, this mining process also finds clusters of consecutive prime numbers.

These “prime constellations” provide a way to test the Riemann hypothesis, which is one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems designated by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Providence, Rhode Island. A proof of the hypothesis is worth $1 million.
Riecoin can’t find a proof, but it might find an example of a constellation that doesn’t fit with Riemann and so offer clues as to how to disprove it – although most mathematicians expect it to hold.



What is the value of finding prime number constellations?
Lots of mathematicians study prime numbers. Many conjectures on prime number constellations and prime number distribution in general rely on the Riemann Hypothesis, which has a prize of 1M USD for anyone who can prove (or disprove) it. If they are willing to give that much money, it means exploring them should have some value. It's not like we are solving the Riemann Hypothesis with Riecoin, but we will be verifying Hardy-Littlewood k-tuple conjectures (at the moment, for k = 6). Even if the only value of Riecoin's proof of work algorithm is getting people interested in prime numbers, it already is worth trying.

Riecoin is the second currency based on primes, after Primecoin.

The mathematics behind blockchain.
In a previous Math Investor blog, we described the emerging world of blockchain, emphasizing how it might impact the financial services and investment world. Already numerous firms, including several startup organizations, are pursuing blockchain to facilitate and streamline many types of financial transactions.

It is worth taking a brief look at the mathematics behind blockchain. The following is based in part on an article by Eric Rykwalder, one of the founders of Chain.com, a startup blockchain software firm in San Francisco.

is there an english version of btc38? ...

when i access it - its ALWAYS in asian characters / writing ...

There are several coins that Polo has been slow to fix. This coins primary function is mining, looking for large prime constellations. In that respect the coin is doing very well, on track to break more world records if difficulty keeps rising. There is also a reasonable amount of volume on btc38, not sure why polo would miss out on that extra revenue.
