I have some problems with the miningpool.co:
1) balance is not updated (I received two transactions and then balance is frozen);
2) incorrect Total Earnings (was decreased from 8 to 6).

Please contact miningpool.co support for this. Perhaps there was an orphan block?

Remember that Bitmark takes 721 confirmations to mature, which is normally 1 full day. The rationale for this decision can be found on the wiki.

I send the PM to ethought. My Bitmessage can't connect to network.
It's not an orphan block and blocks are matured.
I received reward for first 200 blocks only (I mined from start) and then something was broken.

It's like the donation percentage is at about 85% or something.  Every time I get coins confirmed I lose a ton off my 24h earnings.

If that's a block erupter it wont work for this.  You need a scrypt asic or a gpu to mine this coin.

Maybe try sgminer.  Did you say you were using a bitcoin asic?

ok,

Yes, a little bitcoin asic somehow convinced it.... I don't get it.

I keep getting with the older version cgminer: ./cgminer: --scrypt: unrecognized option

I wouldn't advise using the pool though something is messed up.  I lose about 20 coins every time  1 gets confirmed in my account balance.  I'll be lucky if I end up with a dozen after finding 25 blocks.

ah, all the things that newcomers must learn.
I was kind of surprised that it would use the lowly bitcoin asic that I have...

Thanks for the patience in teaching.

Use http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/old/3.7/ on linux
That is how it should run, but you were using sha256 which is why you got banned.


In IRC SecondPlace_ writes: "so how many coins are there in total? and is anyone selling some?"
To answer the first question: Total Supply: ~27.58 million coins (27,579,894.73108000 to be exact).
You can read about all of these things on the wiki


The difficulty will jump again soon to maybe 45.

do you have scrypt in your .bat file?  You may need to use version 3.7 cgminer I can't remember when they stopped supporting scrypt.

OK, apparently I am using not the right version of cgminer for scrypt mining, but interestingly, when joining miningpool.com, I get this:



Nothing updated at the pool website, however.
Does that look right?

I'm seeing this too, it's shaved about 50 coins so far that I've noticed.   Pool is stating 0 orphans as well.   No other pools are jumping on this?

is there an option to solo mine via the Bitmark-qt client?

Yes, you can open "help > debug window" then type "setgenerate true" to turn on mining, or "setgenerate false" to turn it off.
you can always mine from startup by setting "gen=1" in bitmark.conf

with the network hashrate, it might not be worth it.

./cgminer -o http://localhost:9266 -u yourrandomusername -p yourpassword --btc-address yourBirmarkAddres

Code:
./cgminer --scrypt -o http://localhost:9266 -u yourrandomusername -p yourpassword
where username and password are rpcuser and rpcpassword from your bitmark.conf

you need to use cgminer 3.7.2 or earlier for scrypt support.

nice, i would like to attempt solo mining, never done it before. I have cgminer, what is an example of commandline that could be used for solo mining?  thanks


cgminer --scrypt -o http://localhost:9266 -O Username:password

in place of username, i put my address, correct?


Nope, just look at the conf file, and copy from there

I get:

 [2014-07-13 21:24:06] ./cgminer: --scrypt: unrecognized option

would this work for solo mining on cgminer?

 ./cgminer -o http://localhost:9266 -u yourrandomusername -p yourpassword --btc-address yourBirmarkAddres

please forgive basic question:

For those that feel nostalgic about never having solo-mined, this would be an interesting experience. For a while, at least.

0.250% (max) of the block reward goes to the bitmark development fund

Is that still planned or did it get scrapped

It was scrapped and replaced with a donation based bitmark foundation.

There is also to be a long running IPM, voluntary and entirely optional to raise funds for the foundation.

BTC Donations will be used in line with the IPM Proposal, tl;dr: used to lease mining rigs to support the network, 5% of the generated bitmarks would go to a foundation, 95% distributed to investors. This has extra benefits for network health and miners.

Our target is 0 BTC and 70,000 BTM. The BTMs in the foundation will not be touched until after 2015-07-13, longer if we can. We encourage donations of BTM, it will ensure this project lives long and can achieve what we plan.

This week we will create an automated IPM pool, each donor will be able to associated a BTC address with a BTM address, any donated BTC will be spent on leased miners up to 35% of the network hashrate, the BTM produced will distributed to donors according to the amount they donated. 5% will go to the foundation, to be locked for future development.

Development over the first year, or longer if possible, is voluntary.


Great, I fully support this then. Best of luck and great job with the work already done.
