I would like to start experimenting with new difficulty retarget algorithms. Do you have any preference? Classic choice is DGW3 but we are free to try anything, even something new. I have some ideas for a custom algo. Might also be good for marketing.

What is the retarget algo of cryptonite and why do you want to change it?
I prefer Kimoto Gravity Well, because I like coins with the retarget on every block. I don't like the calculation of diff on every x blocks because someone might use a lot of hash power and leave the diff at a hight level.

Cryptonite diff retarget is already on every block and of course we will only consider such algos for the future.

Have you looked at BCH? They had pretty wild network hashrate fluctuations too. No idea if it is a good solution but worth a look at least.

Yes I already had a look at that algo, it's a modified zawy v1b IIRC. It is a very good alternative.

Bitcore has good difficulty retarget algo lowering nicehash threat.

People using the web wallet please retrieve your funds as the guy maintaining the service is going to close it soon.

I think it is better to move service somewhere.
Otherwise later you can get very angry people who were on vacations, or elsewhere and lost their coins.

Trying to install the Linux wallet. Unfortunately, I run into a compilation error.

Code:

In file included from chainparams.h:9:0,
from protocol.h:13,
from addrman.h:9,
from addrman.cpp:5:
bignum.h:56:24: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘BIGNUM {aka struct bignum_st}’

bignum.h:61:21: error: ‘BN_init’ was not declared in this scope
BN_init(this);

(and it continues a lot more ...)

I googled the error message and the issue seems to be well-known with various cryptocurrency wallets - it is an incompatibility with OpenSSL 1.1+ (see here, for example, for Steem). I also found a Cryptonite pastebin with the same error.

It has already been fixed in Bitcoin, the Steem folks say it's this commit: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/b58be132c994b6f9b25cb4a702186ef96104953f

The only workaround I found would be to downgrade to OpenSSL 1.0 - does somebody know another solution?

Thanks, I will try to incorporate that patch into cryptonite, it should be a no brainer.

Here sometimes they write about problems with the wallet.
Do they really exist?
I bought coins several times on Nova, they came in successfully and very quickly

Once we had sync issues, but now I believe it is pretty stable. If someone is still having problems, please post the details.

Why do talking constantly to obtain the wallet to find subsequent prevent, this is actually the 3rd day and also the pocket book is not ready, this is one of the cause I get free from Antshares project at first since it is really frustrating to use their wallet and now almost thesame issue

Sorry I couldn't get what you mean. Could you please explain again? What is frustrating you?

Looks like ai generated text... Maybe a translator?

It's just another bot account to get airdrops

wtf, I had no idea that's a thing now ...

Thanks for your fast answer, pallas!

So technically Cryptonite is working well, I assume. In this case, I'll try it out these days, I'm eager to see the "mini-blockchain" working ...
Exchange delistings are temporary problems, so if the coin's "basic concept/USP" is solid, that doesn't matter for me, "its time will come".

The other small altcoin I support, Slimcoin, is actually in a very similar situation (only trading on Novaexchange, but it's closing ...) and it's still alive and kickin'.

I'm not saying we didn't have any trouble thru our history, but we are still alive as you can see, after almost 4 years ;-)
The coin is still fast and its innovative concepts working as expected.
It is a coin worth keeping alive for its technology and for historical reasons, but I can tell you we had huge trading volume at times, so no reason it can't be used as a currency.
Not only a tech exercise, then :-)
We have plans for it...
