Where does the 86.4 come from?

I've tried to think of some ways to determine it, but unless a non-standard miner is doing something strange with the way it puts blocks in the chain, it's (hopefully) impossible.  I say hopefully because otherwise, I think it would represent a weakness in the anonymity of cryptonote.

If they're based on something like the FCN miner, though, you could look at the 'extra' field to see if, e.g., some weirdly huge proportion of the blocks seem to be being merge-mined.  But that's a really long shot.

But another perhaps more pragmatic way to view it (as I do) is:  Is the math in your favor with the profitability of mining BBR vs any other coin?  If so, mine BBR.  If not, mine another coin and buy BBR.  It doesn't really matter if someone else is mining more profitably on a coin than you are;  the most important thing for you as a miner is maximizing your profitability and/or helping keep the network of a coin you support strong and decentralized.  If you pool mine, my view is that profit should rule.  But BBR is still probably best solo-mined if you have a few machines.  I cloud mine when it's profitable, but I solo mine full time on 5x Intel Haswell-based machines at home, and I find a block every other day or so.  

The quick & dirty calculation:  Blocks per day = Hash rate in mh/s * 86.4 / diff in billions.

So 400kh/s machine:  0.4 * 86.4 / 300 = 0.115 blocks/day (a block every 8.6 days).

That would be cool but I don't know that that is possible.

is there any way to tell how much of the network hashrate is from cpu miners and how much is from secret nvidia gpu miners? I'd like to try and mine, but I'd at least like to know what I'm up against...am I bringing a knife to a gunfight, or a spoon?

Good to know. Especial when difficulty increase and solo get more harder.

the solution is to have a stratum miner and completely get rid of simpleminer which uses http.  the dev is working on it.

as i write here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7512614 it seams that my connection is slow and it will not help to mine with other pools to get the full scratchpad. I wonder how fast must be the connection when srcatchpad increase, and what will be the solution for this issue?

Great - thanks for the info.

The command line version will accept "wallet" as extension. Also, I bet you could rename it and remove extension. The extension is probably only validated during creation.

If there is an issue, it can be easily changed.

Thank you - it was the lack of the .bin extension that was the problem.

I've been able to create wallets on other Cryptonote coins (e.g. Monero) without the .bin extensions, now wondering if this is likely to be an issue down the road?

What names have you tried? Where are you saving them?

I was able to reproduce the error if i chose a name with no extension such as "wallet". Generation worked with an extension such as "wallet.bin".

I Thank you and think it is my connection...sat and capped at present......solo mining is showing hash rate...so i must be mining.....yea ha!

First guess is that bbr.farm have slow connection. Second is that you have slow connection:)
Receive operation fails if there was no data in socket more than 5 seconds.

Any ideas?

Spend sometime reading about the strace, finally just installed the os all over again. Now it works fine for me.

Hi,

Trying to get started with the Boolberry GUI wallet. However I'm running into the following error whenever I try to generate a new wallet:
"The file name is not valid."

Any clues on how I can resolve this?

Tried looking it up, but couldn't find anything.

Steps taken:
(1) Downloaded Full Windows Package (bbr-win64-v0.2.0.24(1ada156).zip)
(2) Clicked on qt-boolb.exe. Waited for a connection, status = online with 8 connections
(3) Clicked on generate new wallet
(4) I type in a file name however when I click save I get the following error:
- "The file name is not valid."

Thanks
