So you don't want to share the code that is entirely your choice but would you not consider disabling new accounts while your pool has greater than 50% of the network hashrate in order to further decentralize the ric network?

So what is your gain in keeping it closed source? Please explain that!
If you want someone to understand your reasoning, a rational explanation would be best for the community.

Why I'm ridicolous?

My one and only account is that! Wake up !!!

WTF???

The miner has been completely rewritten by me and many parts of the algorithm code have been replaced by Assembly code through the use of 64-bit registers.

I worked months to develop the NEW miner and I repeat for the last time: everyone is free to do what he wants, so....

I did encourage him to make an announcement here and he may do so prior to re-opening. As to the decision to remove ric support I understand that is due to the relentless and large scale ddos against the pool, it is financially unviable for ypool to continue in its previous state. Also validation of ric shares is particularly resource intensive accounting for approx 90% of server load. Now that there are other options for people to mine ric he feels withdrawal of ric mining support will not largely impact the community. As far as I know none of this decision has anything to do with RiePool optimized miner or its 0% fee.
Also on a personal note it saddens me that this whole fiasco has not lead to a more decentralized ric mining culture, not wanting to personally attack Simba but until his optimization is seen there is no way of knowing if it really increases the chance of finding blocks. Its entirely possible it is simply accepting shares that are not really valid solutions. I call on Simba to do what is right by ric and it's community, if you really won't share your optimization then please close signup for new miners while your pool is above 50% of network hashrate, lets learn from the past and not have ric controlled by one central pool.

Do so with all users who want answers on valid considerations ? Please respond and clarify the thing does not think I'm the only one here who wants to know

You are so ridiculous simba. Stop creating fake forum members trying to untrust xpoolx

Hello Pool Admins what about my request of explanation?

At last some good news. 
I would be nice of him to announce the reopening here in the forum/thread.

Still sad to see that mining RIC is not supported anymore. Can you explain why he decided against it?
My guess is, that the faster closed source miner competition on simba83's 0% RiePool drove him out of business.
Full steam ahead to another mono-pool RIE culture again

I have recently discussed the situation with ypool admin, and would like to share that ypool intends to re-open in the coming weeks without support for ric mining. However user coins are all safe and you will be able to withdraw them after the pool re-opens.

It's just like that!

However once again I remind everyone that you are free to mine how and where it seems more appropriate!

Thank you

For sure ... Last famous words ... before shutdown

"Connect your miners to http://riepool.ovh:8000 - 0% Pool and transactions fees forever!"

I agree ... That is one of the reasons on my list. First get rid of the competition and then cry wolf that running a 0 % pool is too expensive and ask for 5 % over night.

The only thing that happens for sure is that as long there a 0 % fee and a closed source optimization based on open source software, more and more miners will use the pool because they would give RICs away not doing so. This short sighed view in turn creates a mono culture of again, like we had for nearly 2 years with ypool. And we know where that ended. 450.000 RICs stuck in the owners wallet.

The only think for sure is that Simba84 is going to hurt the coin in one way or another. His selfishness already created a mono pool coin again (with more than 75 % of all coins mined at the pool, today) which is against the idea and spirit of a distributed crypto currency.

Also Simba84's statement not to comment on the subject speaks for itself. I for myself have stopped mining the coin and sold all of it, the risk is simply to high that one day coins become worthless over night because of a single persons stubbornness.

Only advise to the miners: Please use a different pool so that Riepool is not above the 49 % in the network, the RICs you loose now not having the optimization is lower than the loss you have to swallow when it becomes worthless.

Another idea for the devs of crypto currencies would be to "decentivize" nodes (like halving their reward) in the RIC network when they create more than 50 % of the networks currency at any given time. This of course needs some deep thinking. But with modern algorithms which are able to detect patterns in certain cluster constellations, it should not be too difficult to identify those nodes, even when they are shape shifting (new coin addresses, new IP addresses, etc). This would also get rid of the people who benefit from dDOSing certain pools to insta/solo-mine while the rest is down.

So Simba84 ... please be a good RIC community member and share your optimizations to increase pool/miner diversity, which for sure helps the coin to become more valuable. Also in the spirit of science we could have a higher difficulty and find more special prime numbers. Thanks to 'dga', the author if the original optimizations we already did, but higher world records with new optimizations are always better. It will get the coin noticed in the world.

Today fee is zero, but tomorrow or at any other moment he can increase a percent of fee. 

I personally don't understand the motivation for keeping the optimization closed source, the pool in question operates 0% fee so there is no financial incentive to do so.

It's very unlikely that the code has no opensource parts, unless he rewrote everything.
And he's talking about "optimisation", not a new software.
Now, the license is often broken: there are a lot of miners, private and public, in this state. That's because nobody will likely sue.

BUT

It's not a reason to think it's ok.
Opensource licenses made cryptocurrencies possible, and a lot of other things we use every day: smartphones, routers, servers, televisions... all those use linux and/or other opensource software; even apple and microsoft products very often include opensource parts! And they respect the licenses.

So please respect opensource and the GPL, and preserve its value.
Don't be an opensource parasite.

Hi, these are my thoughts:

- I believe there is no GPL license on the miners, so he doesn't have to release the source code if he doesn't want to

- Of course, as always, I recommend people take their precautions when using closed binaries

- I'm very interested in knowing about how the optimizations work, so I'll just ask:
Simba, could you please describe what you did to increase the performance?

- one4many, I hope you understand the license and even if you dislike Simba's actions not leave us because of this.

Gatra

For the people who want solomining i can set up private pools and give you an ip and a port. The mined blocks in private pools will appear directly on owner wallet address

But dont know if it's cool for the riecoin comunity..
