How can i calculate the number of blocks per day?

Current difficulty is 53591178895.
I divide it by 60: 53591178895 / 60 = 893186315 h/s.
My hashrate is ~70 kh/s. My share per block is 70000 / 893186315 = 7.8e-5.
Then i multiply my share 7.8e-5 by the number of blocks per day 1440 = 0.11.
My per day block probability is 0.11 with 70kH/s.
Is it correct?

user_hr = 70000
network_diff = 53591178895
block_per_day = (24 * 60 / 2) * user_hr / (network_diff / 120)
coin_per_day = block_per_day / 17.3

Code:

Python 3.3.5 (v3.3.5:62cf4e77f785, Mar  9 2014, 10:35:05) [MSC v.1600 64 bit (AM
D64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> user_hr = 70000
>>> network_diff = 53591178895
>>> block_per_day = (24 * 60 / 2) * user_hr / (network_diff / 120)
>>> coin_per_day = block_per_day / 17.3
>>> print(block_per_day)
0.11285439366522822
>>> print(coin_per_day)
0.006523375356371573
>>>

Is it just me or is this coin messed up and not fixing itself?

On average I see blocks being found about 1 every 5 minutes.

Hello.

2all who wondered what is going on: don't panic.
The problem is not in difficulty function. the function is fine.
The problem is that someone have pretty big part of hashrate and periodically turn on monster mining.

Probably someone have done optimized or GPU miner. Our scratchpad have dynamically increasing size, but it's still to small to resist GPU, and it's theoretically possible to implement GPU miner.

Miner optimization is endless story and i'm gonna focus development on improving usability now.

As soon as someone will share optimized or GPU hash i'll immediately include it into project repo with copyright. But i'm not expect those miners will hurry up to share it, it's a business.
So if some of devs want to support project with development - take care about hash optimization.
Good "luck".

PS: sorry if i'm not answering to PM, have a lot of task to do, will answer to all... or almost all.

FYI: Difficulty function can'n be changed after currency launch without hardfork. It's for any PoW currency.

Anyway to solo mine together?

e.g. just open one demo, and use a miner or wallet to connect to the demo and integrate all the hashrates of different computers

this way run a demo on each computer and cannot integrate the hashrates

Code:

boolbd --start-mining=1Kec3ttzx1ahteNrjJaYBNgoiEDzK1bGJXh5wqvQ3keaAz1KbELR9nZVaJGhMMc25d99qs89k5uHof9F3Rns4e9qAau6LyZ --mining-threads=2

Are the developers working on fixing this difficulty re-targeting issue? It would be nice to know if they have the skills to fix this.

Look at the commits https://github.com/cryptozoidberg/boolberry/commits/master Wink

Diff/blockrate seems to have settled down nicely now - I expect it's just some big miners joining/leaving.

Seems no-one want to sell any BBR - anyone gonna put some lower sells up on the wtb/wts thread?

I'm interested to buy some BBR.

I think crypto_zoidberg is sleeping. His hours appear to be completely opposite mine because we have only talked in my mornings and evenings. I expect him to reply in 4-6 hours (that is just m opinion).

i think guys we have a GPU miners there.

if someone is ready to share his GPU miner, or ready to implement it - i will put sources to project repo with copyright and put respect here.

It's not GPU miner, a friend rented A LOT of ec2 instances to mine Bb. In hind sight it was stupid because it's costs thousands and thousands of dollars to rent that many servers and it just sky rocketed the diff which made it very unprofitable to mine even for him.

But there really does seem to be a big problem with the difficulty retarget. It should have dropped when he turned off his instances but it continued to climb. One of the problems is that he shut them all off at the same time so the hash rate plummeted but difficulty stayed high - he didn't mean to cause problems he just wasn't thinking about the ramifications.

So he spun up a bunch of instances again to help find the blocks and is slowly turning off his instances which is supposed to lower diff slowly so that miners aren't stuck with huge difficulty to overcome. Yes this is costing him a lot more money with not much to show for it, but he didn't ever mean to hurt the other miners or coin so he's trying to do the right thing here.

I think you need to fix your difficulty algorithm, it doesn't seem to be working as intended.

How many blocks until the difficulty retargets? I have counted about 80 blocks since the problem.

Edit: It seems to be fixing itself a bit now. The time difference between the last block for me was 6 minutes.

yes the difficulty is adjusting much better now: http://boolberry.com/state.html

I registered an Alias yesterday. The Daemon said it would be added to the blockchain but I don't see it on the Network State page, and when I try to use it from the wallet I get an error. Is there something more I need to do?

I registered one a few days ago, and also do not see it on Network State page. What's up with this?

You have to find a block after you set it to be committed to the blockchain, or else it won't be committed to the blockchain.

I think that you also have to do it on every daemon you are mining with and not only at the one where you have the wallet in which you are mining...

Is it just me or were there only 80 blocks found in the last 10 hours?

Can you show your math?
