Here is an alternate ritual site (p2pool) for worshiping the Great Old One:

http://192.241.200.142:3333/static/

I've set the fee at 1%, I don't imagine ever increasing that.  This is all for a fun coin and a great learning experience.

Here is the link to the pre-compiled quark cpuminers for Windows.  Should be same link that thcst8 posted previously:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxKqW4aMUczmaTVfWjZEdnpqLVk/edit?usp=sharing

Be careful, there was malware floating around not long ago as a quark cpuminer, scan whatever you download.

For unix I found the "uncle bob" cpuminer performs quite well:

https://github.com/uncle-bob/quarkcoin-cpuminer

Installing the latest GMP library could also make a difference in performance.

Command to start mining with this pool:

minerd.exe -a quark -o http://192.241.200.142:3333 --userpass=YourWalletAddress:AnyPassword

Make sure "YourWalletAddress" is part of the command otherwise you're donating everything to the pool.

The ritual is progressing well, special blocks are bestowed upon us by the Great Old One himself!

Thank you for your concern. The pchMessageStart bits were absolutely changed in Offerings; you may diff main.cpp against the Quark main.cpp to see the changes. This is different from the Public Key which determines the first bit of the address. Many coins have the same public key bit.

This address which gets random deposits is an oversight I'm unaware of, interesting to say the least. While Quark and Offerings share the same Public Key first bit, it would technically be possible to import the privkey of a QRK address in to Offerings and vice-versa--this however doesn't mix the coins or block-chains. (You can do this now with BTC and DVC for example, have one address for both coins due to them both starting with Pub Key 1)

For now, this .0001 you speak of may be going to that address, but its an OFF address that's simply the same as the QRK address and since no one holds the privkey directly for it, they are just sitting there waiting for the possibility that someone gets that address randomly--would be a wonderful thing for some offerings participant to find!

Does this mean a Cthulu coin can go in a Quark coin wallet?

No.

The same address can be used on both chains, but the chains will have completely different transactions that neither chain knows or cares about.

A poor analogy would be your name on bank accounts at two different banks. Both balances belong to you and the accounts have your name on them, but transactions in one account have nothing to do with the other account.

A transaction involves much more then just the public/private keys.  The complete chain of inputs to outputs has to be intact or the transaction will be rejected by the network. There is no sharing of input/outputs between chains, as neither network can communicate (The reason for message prefix codes and different P2P ports). Even if two clients from different chains communicated, they would have completely different chains of inputs/outputs.


I use the address 1CRypTosugXcXQNjp16Cra83c3M24vVW9Y for a few coins that use address version 1, but it is just an address on the network. The coin chains have no knowledge of the transactions associated with the address on other chains.

So I set up a p2pool for Offerings, the first pool I've ever set up.  I am using the p2pool mod for quark by Neisklar (https://github.com/Neisklar/p2pool-quarkcoin).  This is a learning experience for me by the way, I am very new to this.  I've run across some odd things.

There is an address getting deposits that's not mine.  It gets about 0.00001 every so often.  I validated the address below:

Offeringd validateaddress Qe91rA2W8fQ3b19cknuVuxVhxgqdbkvL4m
{
    "isvalid" : true,
    "address" : "Qe91rA2W8fQ3b19cknuVuxVhxgqdbkvL4m",
    "ismine" : false
}

I searched for this key and come up with this bitcointalk post:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3040492

That looks to be Niesklar's address.  I understand Offerings is a Quark clone but my question is how is it that I can validate a Quark address with Offeringd?  I just dawned on me too that all of these Offering address hashes start with "Q".  So does this mean that the pubkey variable wasn't changed and that offerings sent to quark addresses go into the ether?  Shouldn't it have it's own pub key prefix?

Also the getnewpubkey variable doesn't work for Offeringd.

Offeringd getnewpubkey
error: {"code":-32601,"message":"Method not found"}

Maybe this is a complicated first go at a running a pool.

Has mined some. Good coin.
but only several guys are mining it.
Hope it can be listed on cryptsy.

Is there any plan for the trading platform


The Great Old One smiles upon your inquiry.

Yes, Offerings will be traded on the Sci-Fi coin exchange coming in a couple weeks. It may not be there upon launch, but there are most certainly plans in the works for it. Other exchanges are welcome also should they want to include and show their praise unto Cthulhu.

p2pool is ready for testing  Grin

http://www.japool.com:20002/static/

1. download a quark miner.  https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxKqW4aMUczmaTVfWjZEdnpqLVk/edit?usp=sharing

2. Use the settings below
Code:
minerd64_sse4.exe -a quark -t 8 -o http://www.japool.com:20002 --userpass=YourWalletAddress:AnyPassword
Change this "-t 8" to the number of cores you have. If you have 4 cores change it to "-t 4"
