Topic: [ANN][RIC] Riecoin: constellations POW *CPU* HARD FORK successful, world record - page 71. (Read 685207 times)

This coin seems borderline ready for polo to delist next round (post pump of course)

Any defenses?

There is a torrent of the chainstate to block 654048
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0B92258C8863B589769BD3099CE89F2CF587007C

is it supposed to take a long time to update from the bootstrap file? its been importing a couple of hours now and only done about a years worth

I feel anxious when BTC prices go into the moon, is RIC price will be stable? 

Yes, we need Bittrex! Polo lagging hard these days.

Any updates on adding RIC to Bittrex? There seems to be a demand for it.

20k+ is definitely an undervalue as I easily see it hitting 150k + in no tim.

i help to ask Polom they reply it,
let's all ready RIC to moon 

ric got pump before big raise, whale detected, more whale buy will come, keep going all,
price will recover and raise to 20k+

I was doing some test with a new version of server and i was using the old xpoolx address. That's the reason because the blocks are not showing on the main pool.

Polo chart says someone is heavily buying RIC. Bought too.

It appears quite a few blocks XpoolX solved recently are not showing on the pool. Not saying this is intentional but there could be a problem with the pool.

I hope this week the whales will come to spike ric coin to the moon. im waiting.. hope to see ric over 10k sats in this month. haha

Do you intend to go for other exchanges in the near future?

any update about Polo wallet? 

Mining pools should be banning suspected botnet users if they care about Riecoin

Ah, just spotted this on security news:

https://www.guardicore.com/2017/05/the-bondnet-army/

"A 15,000 servers strong botnet currently suspected of operating out of China is being used for mining cryptocurrencies. The botnet is made up of compromised Windows Server machines.
...
The miner’s installer picks which cryptocurrency to mine and then downloads and installs a matching miner, with priority given to Monero. Additional miners include ByteCoin, RieCoin or ZCash, all convertible to USD"

I think it would be quite worthwhile to track down some of the large mining addresses and see if there's a joint investigation to see if they are, in fact, botnet monetization.  One of the best ways to stop botnets is to follow the money - that's where they gateway to the real world.

Um, what I don't understand is what you are saying.  This may simply be a language barrier.  (And one for which I won't criticize - your English is better than I am at any of the other languages I speak, and I appreciate that we're able to communicate here in my native tongue.)

A > 50% miner cannot profitably withhold blocks without creating orphans.  That's precisely the *reason* to withhold blocks -- you let other people waste their hashing effort, orphan them, and mine the blocks without increasing the difficulty.  (The other reasons to withhold attacks involve trying to double-spend, which isn't relevant in this context, since no exchanges accept 0-confirmation RIC transactions.)

The delay you're seeing is much more likely due to DDoS or network anomalies than intentional withholding.  But I was curious to try to investigate it, which is why I *asked you to point to it*, which you have not done.

Yes, the solo miners are harming the income achieved by the pool administrators, but who cares?  (I mean, obviously, you do, because it's your income stream, but why should anyone else care?).

A solo miner at 50% is concerning in a more fundamental sense, of course, just as a pool at 50% is concerning, because they can easily orphan others' blocks.

The diff rises because there is a ton of mining going on.  Which may or may not have something to do with:



(Image screenshot from coingecko - they don't have a 2Y chart, unfortunately.)

If someone holds over 50% of the nodes they can broadcast the blocks when they want without generating orphans! Strange you (programmer) do not know these things.....

Remember the superblock of last week? It was broadcasted on the network with 2 hours and 40 minutes delay !!!! Do you feel normal? Or do we do the kids?

As we are here programmers, what you have to understand you understand!

The diff rises because of the egoists who solo mine and those only miners who withholding blocks!

If others have not noticed this... open your eyes!

Solo miners are ruining the work of pool administrators, that's for sure!

Keep doing so..... good.....

Can you point to where in the blockchain you saw this?

Normally, a selfish mining attack results in an increased orphan rate, and is pretty visible.  It doesn't seem unusual thus far:

But maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying.

Also, nice diff - if this stays through tomorrow's high-diff block it will produce a new record.
