Im in contact with minerpools later today so we will have another pool hopefully.

You seem to know the ins and outs about networks Chicago, are you able to help us move forward?

Hello,

    Yes, I can contribute in one way or another.
    sinpey and ThePeePs have been idling in #iCoin with me on Freenode.

    We're still waiting for prospective developers to join us there for a quorum of 6 before moving ahead with a transitional wallet update to include recent checkpoints and links to whatever new website is created by the community.

    It would appear from a developer prospective, the immediate needs are a checkpoint, a DNS seed, a Testnet and then eventually to rebase.

Kind Regards,
-Chicago

Splendid work,  if you need anything from us, please do let us know.

Many thanks for setting that up, lets get some people over there Smiley

@LordPiccolo,

    They had some pretty good hash going on for several hours tonight -- and were definitely approximately 2/3 of the total Network hash rate.

    I saw the difficulty go above 5.0 for a while.
    KGW kicked it down to ~3.7 after about 100Mhash/sec dropped from the DiabloPool.

    Now its time to add a second or third pool to keep things from becoming centralized.

    Has anybody ran an instance of CoiniumServ?
    https://github.com/int6/CoiniumServ

    Although NOMP is pretty easy to get setup and going, it unfortunately remains Unsupported as development has stopped upstream.

Kind Regards,
-Chicago

Diablopool has added iCoin for mining. We are a new, but growing pool. Hopefully DiabloPool and iCoin can grow together.

Hello,

    Also, I think it is worth updating the OP to indicate the current block reward is 50 ICN due to the current block height of 138,235.

    While digging in the code for COINBASE_MATURITY, I found it to be 50 confirmations.
    This implies you will receive your reward for a block after the blockchain has grown in height by 50.

    Correspondingly, transactions only need 3 confirmations -- which is really the absolute bare minimum and a hazard in the event of a fork of more than 2 blocks.

    The next subsidy halving will occur at block 256,000 and then the reward will be 25 ICN until block #384000.

Hello,

    The following iCoin daemons are "listening nodes" on the standard P2P port (9889) which are active and have been found by my Crawler.
    The Crawler is simply a fork of https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-seeder which has been adapted to work with iCoin.

    You may substitute the list of addnode entries from the OP with this list since these nodes are actually online and will do work.
    Until a full-service public seeder instance has been published for use by the iCoin network, I will update this list from time to time and hope the OP will echo this list of nodes for recommendation to the community.

    You may validate the set yourself by simply running bitcoin-seeder and querying the addresses from it directly. If you need any assistance with trying to do the same, just find me in #iCoin or #iCoin-dev on Freenode.

    At present, there also appear to be 29 other connections to the iCoin network which are not listening on a standard port and may simply be connecting behind a NAT.
    Therefore, those 29 would not be full nodes or appear in the Crawler's list until they listen on port 9889 and have the iCoin.conf file set to listen=1.

Kind Regards,
-Chicago

    addnode=47.17.84.135
    addnode=73.44.156.111
    addnode=82.4.57.4
    addnode=104.130.70.155
    addnode=109.81.238.157

hey man thanks very much for your work. What else can you do? Wink

Hey!

Does your coin need a multipool?
For 10$ a month your coin will be on our multipool.

More info here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/multipool-service-10-a-month-update-932225

We are open now!


It is too soon for multipools. A multipool is not in our best interest at the moment. Thank you

I don't think we would need to provide anyone a $10/mo incentive to add us to their multi-pool. So the user community is aware -- the blockchain is already moderately protected from multi-pool rape due to the current implementation of the Kimoto Gravity Well within iCoin.

One of the next things we should do is setup a DNS seeder so people can refer to it instead of using static addnode entries. I ran a bitcoin-seeder instance to crawl the iCoin network earlier this week to test the waters -- bitcoin-seeder only found ~3 or so listening nodes at the time.

Kind Regards,

Is it possible iCoin could be mergemined with another coin, for example DigiByte maybe? Smiley

I don't think we should discount anything, Digibyte is a well established coin and would be great to be work with them.

The downside at the moment is, we don't have anyone that can change code or make alterations.

Once we have a pool up, if we can get a decent amount of hashpower there we will look a bit more attractive to people. If we can get onto an exchange too then that will help.

Morning all.

I have been in contact with a few people and it looks like someone is going to set us up a more traditional looking pool for us to mine on. This is going to start being looked at on Sunday, csnt give an exact timescale yet.

This is great news for us Smiley

I'm having a chat with someone tomorrow morning regarding the coding so I'll see what they say.

If any of you want to contact some small exchanges and see if we can either get listed or get ln their voting section that would be great.

Edit- I have just tried adding us to c-cex voting list Smiley let's see what happens

Weird, have you had any luck solo mining?

Yes, all I got so far was in solo mining and an offer from someone generous Wink (the only transaction with sender address). I do not know if will have to do with the characteristics of the wallet, all I got is the symbol of the two picks without sender address. Even with the solo mining off continues receiving on average 10 ICO every 20 minutes without sender address. In the pool appear only two users, myself and the user with wallet ending in Rfyr. This wallet belong to any of you? If so, is getting payments?

http://p2pool.thepeeps.net:8778 was that pool but its back online now

The pool is making payments? I am mining with GPU for 18 hours and I have not received any payment from the pool.

Weird, have you had any luck solo mining?
