The difficulty peaked at 1604 this week. We are closer to the world record limit of 1857. At difficulties above that, every block would generate a 6tuple greater than the previous world record!

i didnt know it worked like this! Nice!

How can I find out about the current world records? or any future upcoming world records, (or getting close) to them?

Hi riecoiners!

Update for last week:

We updated the website! thank Northranger79510
New versions of stratum-mining, rminerd cpuminer and beta client/daemon 0.8.99 are being tested. Look stable but still no blocks because miner is not fully optimized
stratum pools online that require testing: http://ric.infinitypool.tk/ - https://rie.crunchharder.net - http://www.altcoinspool.com/
new xpt protocol pool is online and has found many blocks: http://ric.upcpu.com/
agx.io (Austin Global Exchange) launched support for riecoin
a Riecoin Foundation is on the works https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5722892
The difficulty peaked at 1604 this week. We are closer to the world record limit of 1857. At difficulties above that, every block would generate a 6tuple greater than the previous world record!

So we are heading towards a more decentralized and healthy network, and closer to the prime 6tuple world record! Riecoin should take off soon.

My current priorities:

Bitcoin core 0.9.0 is out and now I have a lot of new features to add to RIC. Expect new "Riecoin Core" versions. Looks like we'll have a 64bit version for windows: this will make PoW verification much faster
I'm working on an optimized open source version of the miners. Stratum first, then xpt.
After latest difficulty swings, I'm considering switching to a constant difficulty adjusment instead of every 288 blocks.

Thanks and regards,
gatra
