Topic: Mining Question (Read 184 times)
if the forkgen coin is using the same algo, why not, but otherwise it's not possible you need to add the code to mien the new algo, this can't be automated and never will be
If you are in need of a block explorer check out https://altexplorer.co/
I'm not really familiar with the code. But, isn't there a way to adjust the difficulty as a function of total hashing power of your network? The lower the network hash rate, the lower the difficulty should be. The software of many cryptocurrencies usually does this automatically after a certain period of time, reassessing the target (difficulty) to meet the average total hashing power.
I will look into that. Right now the difficulty seems to be fairly easy - you can mine several hundred PHL each day with just a CPU; but its the time between blocks that is a problem because it takes too long for a transaction to become confirmed. Thanks for the advice!

I'm not aware of any code that can mine forkgen coins. Porting the current code for CPU mining to GPU mining is not a trivial task. The code has to be adapted to the specific Nvidia (CUDA) or AMD (openCL) architecture. I guess you would need a good developer to do that.
Thanks for the reply butka, right now someone seems to find a block around every 20-60 minutes. This accounts for the relatively low circulating supply of coins. Do you know any way for this to be sped up? Do more people need to mine the coin to get to a faster level? I think before the coin changes I would like to make would be useful you would need to be around 5-10 minutes per block. Its hard to imagine people waiting much longer than that in a realistic use case scenario.

I setup a new coin called Placeholders (placeh.io)using forkgen.tech, went through the trouble of adding a website and trying to figure out how to get the block explorer "Iquidus Explorer" working. Finally got something sort of stable - it was a bit of a headache and I had to toss a few chains to get it stable.
I have some new ideas of how I want to change the coin, however - here is my question:
Right now I just have CPU mining, and a few of my friends have been mining it as we try to expand the development case for it.
My question is this:
Does anyone know if there are any downloadable "off-the-shelf" miners that will let you GPU mine a forkgen coin?
I tried to get it mining w/ sgminer and cc miner but nay - does not seem to work.
Side Note: I think it is funny how it says I am a newbie. I mostly just lurk on here (been doing that since 2012) however as I only have 2 posts (more of an observer than a participant) I am considered a newbie. LMAO.
