Ok, thanks, I think I understand. Our major innovation is that outputs can be larger than inputs as interest is added based on the age of inputs and some other rules. So I guess that would need to be added in. I'm now wondering if it would be easier to add pool polling/share submits to the wallet, rather than adding algo+block creation to cup miner. Not concerned about miner performance so much as ease of use and reducing variance for new users.

Not really - you see, as long as the transaction HASHES remain the same, and the block format is the same, and the merkle root is generated the same way, you should be mostly good. Still a good chunk of boring work, but less HODL-specific work.

Looks to be about $300 at current market rates, but would expect that to increase on completion of a pool miner and addition of an exchange!

Hey Wolf, yep,

Proof of Work

1GB AES Pattern Search POW. Pattern Search involves filling up RAM with pseudo-random data, and then conducting a search for the start location of an AES encrypted data pattern in that data. Pattern Search is an evolution of the ProtoShares Momentum PoW, first used in MemoryCoin and later modified for use in CryptoNight(Monero,Bytecoin), Ethash(Ethereum).  CPU/GPU friendly.



Oh HELL the fuck no. You don't have getwork in there - there needs to be a serious bounty before I implement GBT for this thing.

Thanks for taking the time to look over the code and giving us your opinion.

I apologize if I came off as abrasive - it's just that GBT can be a LOT of boring work if the block format differs from Bitcoin's in ANY way, including how you build it.

Yes, a little curt maybe Wink But appreciate your insight as I don't know the ins and outs of GBT. I've tried to ensure minimal changes from the Bitcoin format, but there are some. I'm not in a position to know if they affect GBT.

Well, let me put it this way. GBT doesn't give you work. It gives you the tools to make your own work. Transactions, the current prevhash, the network's target, how much of the nonce you're able to change, and other rules for block creation. Then, as a miner - go nuts. You wanna make your own TX and stick it in? You can. Wanna fill it with custom data - I did with with GRS using GBT - have fun. So anything changed from the block format, the merkle root calc, ANYTHING - will have to be compensated for.

Q: What is the official animal of HOdlcoin?
The squirrel is the official animal of HOdlcoin. The squirrel is the animal kingdom's natural HOdler.

Okay, maybe I'll look into it if I have some time. But no promises.

what if I threw in a hug and a kiss?

Thanks your for your professional opinion on this. I speak on behalf of the HOdlcoin team when I say we are disappointed that you don't find the project interesting. Perhaps if the bounty accumulates or the value of HOdlcoin become less opaque, that might change. On the technical points, I think mmcminer is nearly already a getwork capable miner, but as we're forked from .11.2, getblocktemplate is required. As GBT supports free mining, it is more in keeping with distributed and participatory aims of HOdlcoin.

I'm all in favor of GBT - just that it's far from simple. If I have some time, I may look into it.

Nice bounty!

Should I HODL my coins, or use them for the project development?

I think it is excusable to spend some  Grin

25 are on the way.
