As someone who is quite good at math and mid-level algebra as it's presented... I honestly don't see how a bot could solve your equations. You have a bot that can read an equation, decide the function of the 1st variable, then use a drop down menu and pick the correct multiplier?
I can solve some of the equations in a matter of seconds. It's certainly not possible to input the variables and have some program spit out the right result in the time that my mind can work.
There were times that I was a split second too slow and just missed out on the solution, but I have no illusion that there was anything other than another human on the receiving end of the block.
I like that there will be other ways of brainmining, on the future, but I think you have it right regarding Mathematical based equations. Mathematics is the universal language.
What you are suggesting with pictures and captchas is putting your puzzles into only a few languages. Personally I speak English and I'm good at doing math in my head, so I like the direction wherever it goes. You either get a team of interpreters or include math in order to get universal adoption.
Great project BTW. This is like a video game, trying to get the most coins, using your brain.
You took 5 billion and I get that, but it's not the greatest business model.
If you were to start spreading that around and putting DIRA on the crypto map, You have a hell of an idea.

I like this project! Nice to see some new method for mining. I'm very curios what kind of problems are there to solve. Will also set up a node. Good thing that the website is back up.
Good luck!
Good luck!

I'm not quite sure if I managed to set everything up correctly but here are my ip and address.
IP:93.220.226.109
Address: DIR-BWKG-KEZE-CL8C-46MBU
PS: Is it like an open ledger where everybody can look up the notes and if it exist where can i find it?

when will the site get in online?
Website is going to be online in about 3-4 hours and so the rewarding of the pending ones, BrainMining through the website as soon as we complete the new algo to make even more harder to make a script (tomorrow), BrainCypher in 3-4 days. The new client will take a little bit more time.
February 20, 2018, 10:54:17 AM
How many users have already setup a node? Just trying to figure out if I should try later today, once I am on my PC.
February 20, 2018, 10:25:32 AM
yeah ... how long is it going to take to get back up and running. personally, i can't help but think you shouldve better planned this before launch. shitty hosting! also, shouldn't take that long to get back up .. even with a new host

"If" is not the question. It is possible.
I could probably do it.
There are probably many ways of protecting against that.

You should make sure that it can not be automated easily. Because the current way can be botted i think. Use some tool to convert Image to Text, copy that into excel or a form and paste the solution.
That is too computer friendly. You need riddles for humans.

I think your mentioned automated solution is time consuming so that a human by himself is able to solve the problem in a shorter time
What makes you think that?
If we believe this is possible: only time approximation of copy/paste and other automated task in comparison to solving the problem by brain. A gesture only

It's not easy make something it can't be automated nowdays but we'll try to make it harder. We are thinking to implement an extra step first to send the solution, example: user sends a solution, then appear a box with an extra easy question (ex. reverse a word, put a word starting with a letter, or a particular char in a certain position). It should brake at least automated script without human intervention.
We ask you to write it down your own ideas, we'll take in consideration every suggestion.
Still hope it works out. Especially since I have 30k Dira Coins now already.

Exactly agreed! The solution: "user sends a solution, then appear a box with an extra easy question" is smart method, if we suppose this task is automated.

IMPORTANT UPDATE
As you can see enabling again the CPUMining the server went definitely down. We made an upgrade of the host with more RAM and CPU but it is sufficient for the current users but the problem will show again as the number of users grow up. We made a huge mistake underestimating the server-side traffic and CPU usage of the CPUMining so we now need to hard modify the code to move most of the work-load to the client-side let the server being used only for checking and rewarding. We are optimizing the code so soon the website will be up again with a page for the BrainMining (and soon the BrainCypher). In some days we'll make an update with a new client release and page on website for the CPUMining with a brand new system.
Already sorry for the inconvenient, but we'll work hard to solve any issues that you and we are experiencing.
It's a new kind of BrainMining. We are testing different variations of it but basically you'll receive an image with words and a key and you should be able to decipher them in order to get a reward (or in alternative you'll receive both clear words and ciphered ones and you have to find the key), we'll implement that one in test reveals to be a better compromise between time to complete the task and reward. This is only the begin, we have many other other ideas to implement till reach our main goal that is seeing DIRA implemented in real Web and Mobile games.

should we not be able to see our addresses under generators once we are forging? how do i know my account is actually staking? i just see a green button that says forging, but where can i see that it is actually doing it?
To be sure your client is forging you can check the client API: go to http://localhost:3787/test?requestTag=FORGING and put there your passphrase and (if you set up it) admin password. You can open the page even on top right "Settings -> API console".
You'll get a json message like this:
"
{
"errorDescription": "Account is not forging",
"errorCode": 5
}
"
When the forging indicator is green if you hold you mouse pointer on it you should see a box that indicates you tha actual effective balance you are forging with. In the FAQ we'll explain this and other details.
May I ask from what country you guys are?
We are from Italy, in fact "DIRA" is a name that reminds our old "LIRA".
February 20, 2018, 02:21:11 AM
any idea when this will be back up?
We are in touch with the hosting to find a solution can supports higher amount of traffic (much more we were expecting), the hope is to be online in a little time with same hosting or in some days in case we have to switch to another.
Sorry I am fairly new, but the PoS on transaction fees, does this mean I am rewarded for spending (similar to store cards) ? 
The transaction fees are actually the reward of the forgers. When you make a transaction, for example send 1 DIRA to another address you pay a minimal amount of 1 DIRA, if a blocks has 150 transactions of 1 DIRA the forger will gain 150 DIRA. In order to forge you need more forging power (= a good amount of coins). Basically the more coins you have the more are chances to forge a blocks and gain the transactions fees of that block. We are giving large amount of DIRA to give users possibility to forge and disable our current account generator (if the stake is low the blocks won't found and the blockchain stops).
should we not be able to see our addresses under generators once we are forging? how do i know my account is actually staking? i just see a green button that says forging, but where can i see that it is actually doing it?
