~~Any solo miners out there? We should launch this.~~ If the pool operators are worth a shit, they'll fix stratum.

...

Here's what's going to happen.

I'm going to make a special fix to get this wallet to cooperate with stratum and give it to the pool operator I'm working with. That will be the pool.

It will be fair because only 1 person (down from 3) will care about this coin, so it will be fair for that person.

They can mine at the pool. After I've had a good night's rest, I'll upload the fix to github and other operators can get in on the action.

If you want to go to sleep and mine later, have at it. If you want to stay up, that's good too.

If you want to just bitch, that's fantastic because this thread is not moderated.

I'll post updates here as I get close.

LOL your kidding right? Your defensive and there is 3 people reading this OP

Have you seen the amount of bitching that just 3 people can do?

I never had a chance to test stratum. OCminer never got back to me. I don't know why.

I just tested with a pool Op who came available 40 minutes ago and it looks like the non-standard stuff I put into the block structure doesn't agree with the standard blocks submitted by stratum. The pool Op I was working with tonight gave me my first helpful error messages to debug the problem.

I know there will be bitching, but bitch at each other for absolutely no real help coming in. I'm not concerned about your problems. I'm here to make a fair coin.

I'll announce another launch time when I get this sorted out.

P.S.: if you want an easy coin to mine, find a straight clone.

I'm pushing it back 30 minutes. The makefile problem is resolved.

New launch time 6:00 AM UTC March 18.

I just forked the parent coin to start the repo. That's not the real sources.

Is supernova.cc going to host fonziecoin?

No, but I just got a pool for it for launch.

Don't worry, no one on the team or operating the pool will hash until we see others hashing first.

I never heard from OCminer.

I haven't heard from OC miner. Launch is set for 5:30 AM UTC March 18. The parent coin had a full SHA256 run which finished just a few weeks ago without any problems. Many pools mined it. I also fixed a bug with solo RPC mining discovered by TimW (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10709735). This bug goes back to novacoin and only manifests under rare conditions. I've tested both solo RPC mining and staking on the testnet. I'm moving launch back earlier in the evening for those in the U.S., and at a time that should be somewhat convenient to nearly everyone on the planet. If I don't hear from OCminer, I'll point my rented hashes at the first good pool that pops up. If he can test before launch, then I'll try to test.

Fair blocks are still in effect. Nothing has changed except the code base of the parent coin and some small surprise enhancements I threw in.

OCminer is MIA tonight. Huh

If I don't hear from him tonight, then launch will have to get pushed back another day.

Sounds good.. i think everyone wants a solid, tested coin on release.

Lookin forward to it.

I went a little crazy on this mining bug that TimC found. It actually goes back to novacoin, but would never surface there because the network is PoS now. It could only happen to a nova descendant before the PoS period starts. It usually doesn't happen to coins on launch because the hashes are too great.

It happens when everyone on the network is mining PoW with RPC mining and no one finds a block for 10 minutes. The only way to restart the chain is for someone to restart the wallet they are mining into. I don't know how stratum works, but I don't think it would apply because the bug is in the RPC mining code.

Either way, I fixed it, although it probably won't be necessary. I'm ready to test stratum now, so I'm about to PM OCminer.
