You pretty much have to be a miner to interact with this coin right now, right?

Pretty much - but since it's a CPU coin, it's not like it's hard to be a miner.

Great idea behind this coin.

In theory yes, but hardly anyone sitting behind their current computer can mine it. It will be mined by very few, whom of which will profit highly.

I hope to the bitcoin gods that the devs arent behind the high hash rates and exploiting the community.

Sorry, that seems to be my fault - I shut down the wallet soon after I made the transactions; it looks like they weren't broadcasted right or something. Opening it now.

Got them! Much thanks Smiley

what time update new minerd ? dev

I'm sure he'll announce testnet + hardfork date when he's done.

Version 0.3.0.1 is now released and the binaries are available.  This is a forking change.  Please update your binaries before block 20250, which is around Friday 1700 GMT.

I have not finished updating the pool yet, so it may be down for a few hours after the forking change.

I'll release the updated binaries tomorrow, and I will time the hard fork to be sometime around 1900 GMT on Thursday.

I'm running a bit behind schedule.  I implemented the algorithm in the daemon and, on my private test-net, the switchover works, but there are still some issues with the difficulty adjust since the new algorithm is a bit slower.  I'll release the binaries tomorrow and the hard fork will probably be Friday at 1900 GMT.

exchanger launch schedule sir ?  Huh
Let's make sure the coin is stable and non-exploitable before we discuss putting it on an exchange.

Read my edit to my post above - just because you're not good at making fast code does not make it de-optimized.

OK so it took a mere 30 min to (un-de)optimize, only because you are 1337.

Then it might take a day or a week for a lamer or team of lamers.

I still think the coins being dumped for sale seem too cheap to be fairly mined.

Since a fair launch and democratic mining were XPB's raisons d'être, I find the (albeit relative) ease of (un-de)optimization a matter for concern.

Why not use a testnet until optimizations and GPU ports are public to avoid FUD and hardforks?

Simple. No one will release really good optimizations. They will wait. Sure, you'll catch the small shit like this, but you won't get really good work unless you pay for it.

This makes releasing a coin have a cost - the dev not only has to make the coin, but must invest real money into it; you won't see many doing this. If it did happen, I would be quite pleased - I could get paid, and help a coin that the dev has shown they are truly committed to.
I have around 2000 XPB to sell, spent around $20 to mine them.

Wolf0 when you partner with a coin dev, or become a coin dev, please let me know =)
Maybe a coin with Proof of Optimization.
It amazes me how PoW, works, and how optimizations from CPU, to GPU, FPGA, to ASIC and the miner software itself can transform. 
Or maybe a paid school teaching how to make better mining programs?

Coin dev is boring. You also cannot prove optimization - it's like trying to prove perfection. In theory, it can always get better - the amount of time and effort that must be invested grows larger, while the speed increase grows smaller, however.

I have finished updating the algorithm to fix the TMTO flaw that Wolf0 discovered.  I considered using yescrypt but I figured it would be simplest to update the algorithm I already had.

The fix was to make each value in the state depend on a value earlier in the state.  Wolf0's particular TMTO optimization was to store only every n values, say every 32 values.  Now, if you want to calculate value #1025, you get value #1024 (the one you have stored), then you do the transform, and now you need a value earlier in the pad, say #675.  You only have #672 stored (every 32nd value), so you have to compute values #673, #674, and #675.  #673 in turn requires a previous one, say #340, but then #340 requires computing #321, #322, ..., up to #340, each of which also require previous values.  It ends up being very deep recursion unless you have actually stored each value.  Even with a gap of 3 or 4, the recursion gets too deep.

I was able to implement a TMTO which uses 65% of the RAM for being about 30% slower.  That same approach trying to use 46% of the ram was 580% slower.  The memory usage can probably be optimized a bit more, but at this point it seems very unlikely for it to be possible to get good speeds for anything lower than half the RAM usage.  Thus I've kept the RAM requirement at 13 GB.  People with only 8 GB computers will be able to mine at the slower rate.  Or we wait until Wolf0 or somebody else does their magic, at which point I will see if it's good enough or whether I'll update the algorithm again.

I'll release the updated binaries tomorrow, and I will time the hard fork to be sometime around 1900 GMT on Thursday.

The pebbleminer source code is updated with the new algorithm if anyone wants to take a look.  I haven't made a testnet or a pool yet.

@XPB, if you did a hard fork, what about the coins which we have mined? Will them became invalid?
No, all the coins that have been mined so far will remain valid.

I would make an offer but I can't even download the wallet.  I'm stuck on 32 and it won't recognize anything (The browser crashes every 2-12 hours depending on usage even).  So no where to accept the coins.

I bet this might be the first time such a complaint was openly admitted to on these forums...fuck it; I'll check back in a week.
