Topic: [POOL][CryptoNight.net] CryptoNote pool: Bytecoin, Monero, DarkNote (Read 9896 times)

Hello!

Why the e-mail I have sent to you (to [email protected]) can't be delivered?.. 


Pleae make some changes in your mail server's settings...

I see at http://xmr.cryptonight.net/ that my balance is 4.773547531982 XMR, but whe there will be a payment? My wallet is 4AzfaV3Ra2uEYRezCWR5HS7gq1omU1zTeF4rwKxYhqU4hU7GxzwyWHs3si5uUHHjAXV39m8kvGCFtHS cdcGgcapKSYHL2VQ

p.s. please someone unlock my main account "Rabinovitch".

Please tell what's wrong ?
Registered Bytecoin wallet - installed bytecoinwallet-win64 (from BytecoinWallet-1.0.9.win64.zip with MD5 86525da4032b45fbdd87ec4ecc6b8d41). Got a wallet number (24*****U4).

Downloaded CPUMiner (forked by LucasJones & Wolf) (cpuminer-multi-wolf-06-09-2014 MD5: 214941fb4c453927a46183efe0e867bb).

Set up settings for miderd.exe

Started minerd.exe - everything works, mining go on (my hash on CPU app. 60 h/s).
On Home page of http://bcn.cryptonight.net/  i see my hashs is accepted

Whats wrong ?

Looks like it was me. I mine from DarkNote GUI 

Short stat since launch

Blocks mined:
- BCN: 154 blocks
- DSH: 231 blocks
- XDN: 1 block (finally!)
- XMR: still waiting for (double reward bonus for the 1st round is still active)

Issues:
- 2015-04-13: incorrect reboot (~4 hours downtime)
- 2015-04-17: DashCoin payments delayed for 20 hours

Payment issue 2015-04-17

Payments in DashCoin were suspended starting from 2015-04-17 18:29 because too big transactions were generated. Now payments are resumed. Miners will receive their reward during 30-40 minutes. Please check your wallets.

Sorry for inconvenience.

Cryptonight.net was added to mining pools list in new DarkNote wallet!

So far:

- 145 blocks found in the Bytecoin chain
- 33 blocks found in the DashCoin chain
- Monero and DarkNote are still waiting for miners

Technically DashCoin is very similar to Bytecoin: developers follow commits in Bytecoin repository but maintain their own blockchain started in 2014. DashCoin developers created an automatic tool that generates new CryptoNote-based currency from Bytecoin source tree: https://github.com/pmitchev/cryptonote-generator.

Short news:

1. DashCoin miners have found 2 blocks today.

2. Pool about next CryptoNote coin is added. Your opinions are welcome!

Today DashCoin pool is added at http://DSH.CryptoNight.net.

DashCoin is a CryptoNote - based coins mirroring Bytecoin code base. Not to be confused with DASH (new name of DarkCoin). Current hashrate of DashCoin is about 50Kh/s it is quite easy to find block on pool.

Join now and have a nice mining!

Let me share some findings and questions about CryptoNote currencies mining comparative profitability.

The number of Bitcoins per one CryptoNight hash calculated is chosen as a profitability measure.
Here is the way to calculate it (Monero example):

Difficulty: 1102336316 (average number of hashes to find one block)
Block reward: 10.7625 XMR
Price: 0.00341429 BTC per XMR

Bitcoins per one Monero block: (Block reward) * (Price) = 10.7625 * 0.00341429 = 0.036746 BTC (per one Monero block)

Bitcoins per one hash calculated: (Bitcoins-per-one-Monero-block) / (Average-number-of-hashes-to-find-block) = 3.3335e-11 BTC per hash

The same for Bytecoin:

(48591.00 * 0.00000008) / 134552610 = 2.8890e-11 BTC per hash

or

(48591.00 * 0.00000009) / 134552610 = 3.2502e-11 BTC per hash

Looks very close to Monero level despite the fact that all the other number aren't similar at all.

The same for DarkNote:

(312.5 * 0.00000032) / 17035523 = 5.8701e-12 BTC per hash

It looks order of magnitude smaller. If you decided to skip calculations here is a chart:

Several questions arise:

1st: What's wrong with XDN?

Note, that XDN in some ways is more advanced than both BCN and XMR: XDN has an embedded messaging and it has a GUI for months already.

2nd: Why BTC per hash is so close in BCN and XMR? What drives market (in the broad sense) to keep this balance?

3rd: Does this mean that miners sell all CryptoNote coins for Bitcoin (i.e. they don't keep anything)?

4th: Would the difficulty increased twice force miners to move to another chain in case of unchanged prices of both?

Here is another view on BCN/XMR price balance. Let's divide BTC-per-hash-in-BCN by BTC-per-hash-in-XMR and let's do it few times for different levels of prices of both (see table below).

One indicates the parity for a given difficulty of both networks.
>1 (blue space) - hash calculated for BCN is more expensive than hash calculated for XMR
<1 (orange space) - vice versa

The question is the same: what drives market to keep parity?

-------------------------------

PS:
For the first week of operations miners on CryptoNight.net have found 124 blocks.
Stay with us, join us and have a nice mining!

Thanks a lot. Would you be so kind to make a post about new mining pool at http://darknotetalk.org/?

Several good news today:


About Bytecoin

1. during last 24h we have found 32 blocks in Bytecoin chain.

2. Pool hashrate on http://BCN.CryptoNight.net is now about 6% of total hashrate of Bytecoin network.

3. Bytecoin team released their new GUI. Still closed sources but I think it's worth a try.
   Their GUI OP: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bytecoin-wallet-gui-1018904


Monero and DarkNote

4. Monero and DarkNote pools are ready for operations on http://XMR.CryptoNight.net and http://XDN.CryptoNight.net. Join us!


Have a nice mining!

1st: this is a measurement of pool's luck.

Shares means the number of hashes calculated by all miners during the round.
Diff - is the current difficulty (i.e. average number of hashes we need to calculate to find a block).

If Shares/Diff is above 100% - we calculated more hashes trying to find block then expected (this means "bad luck")
If Shares/Diff is below 100% - we calculated less hashes during the round and this is "good luck"

During the long period of time average luck must be around 100%.

2nd: proper implementation of merged mining requires some C++ programming. I'll come back to this task next week.

I have been mining on minergate now I switch to your pool and maybe therefore I have simple questions because it is new for me. I have 2 questions.
1st what Shares/diff means on the pool website in Pool Blocks section - the percentage value?
2nd do you plan to make, if possible on this kind of pool, merge mining with MCN or FCN?
thanks.

Hi!

Action is over. We have found two blocks:

at height 715050 - http://chainradar.com/bcn/block/6cdb9dcded45c99196df1398ce9e89a4617b1a1f2bd0695635634876efcc9b04
at height 715056 - http://chainradar.com/bcn/block/523d92f7faa36e7b262e3ffcc710fbf416ed1c5ce9dca57ea8016e5bc2897ca0

Bonus reward sent manually to all 1st round participants. PM me if something went wrong.

I am in. 5Kh.

Thank you. I use Calymore and there is not visible difficultly which pool gives you. It is visible in Wolf's miner and it was stopped around 15800 which is high end hardware  .
Thanks for explanation.

It's mid or high end hardware

You can easily decide this:

1. check miner output - it prints your current hash rate and a difficulty set by pool.
2. Compare this difficulty with one proposed on http://cryptonight.net/#getting_started page.
3. Use port that is closer to your current diff.

In case you start mining with too low or too high diff pool will switch you to difficulty that is more suitable.

Maybe one silly basic information which is still not clear to me is the difficulty. I have i5-2500K @ 3.3GHz overclocked to 4.2GHz with setting on -t 3? Is it rather low or mid end hardware?

I was awaiting the first block sooner as well. I like the speed on your pool it looks faster than minergate but I have not done any measurement it is only feeling..
Still there is not a lot of miniers.

Thanks for the promo.
