It's because we changed the retarget method and it adjusts the difficulty upward to maintain 10 proof of work blocks in 10 minutes.  On lucky streaks the difficulty will be even higher than average.  And the network hashrate is not the actual hashrate.  It's just an estimation based on the current difficulty.  Instead of getting yourself (and others) worked up over the difficulty, the reported hash rate and the differences between the original retarget and the current one, look at the block spacing in the explorer.  That's what really matters.

Anyone know why the hashrate keep doubling then dropping off? Its crazy swings.


Or it could be that because of the wild swings in difficulty, people turn off their miners when the difficulty is at its apex and turn them back on when it's low enough again.  Lower overall gains for the day, but higher coins/energy expended.
When the difficulty has big spikes and dips I just shift my miners into 4WD  Grin

Thanx for the link:)

That one only shows 4 months, as far as i can see, Was hoping there was one from coin inception. Somewhere??

On a different note - I just managed to unpack the T-shirts today.  WOW!  They are great.  Wife loves hers too.

We will wear them around bitcoin conferences in Australasia and when they ask - we will hit the curious with the pamphlets and business cards.

Thanks much appreciated

cheers - usukan

I've posted the modifications to bitcoin-abe that the current Ultracoin block explorer uses.  If anyone else has an underutilized server and wants to set one up the sources can be found here:

https://github.com/Kracko/ultracoin-abe.git

There are a few prerequisites that are needed.  I added them in the readme in the repository.  You'll also have to create the mysql database for Abe to use, create a user and grant permissions for that user for that database.  Also, the Abe.conf file will need to be updated with the mysql database, user, pass as well as the ultracoin wallet directory.  I suggest using the blkfile method for updating.  I have one configuration file (abe1.conf) that handles the update and exits running from a crontab and another (abe2.conf) that runs the web site and stays up continuously.  There are several walkthroughs for setup that can be Googled up as well.

It is worth doing to give the community more options and could also be leveraged for advertising income.

Edit:

For validation I set up another block explorer on pool1 using the repo.  It is still syncing.

I acquired some GTX 750Ti 2GB but I can't seem to set them up properly.
The best I did was :
Code:
cudaminer.exe -a scrypt-jane:14 -o stratum+tcp -u user -p X -b 4096 -m 1 -i 0 -L 6 -l t96x1
Which gives me only around 2,5 kH/s they should be doing more than 3k at this freq.
GPU 1350MHz, MEM 1525MHz
I have 5 cards running on 4G of RAM


Does anyone have some other settings Smiley


Try these:

cudaminer -s 10 --algo=scrypt-jane:UTC -H 2 -i 0 -m 2 -l t25x4 -L 4 -b 16384

getting around 3.3-3.35 with those settings. 6 cards, win7 64bit, latest drivers, 8 gigs of ram

some with this -l t60x2 -H 2 -m 1 -i 0 -L 4
and others -l t5x24 -H 2 -m 1 -i 0 -L 4

working better without -b

getting 3.4-3.6

happy mining
I get "Cuda error", than "Driver Error", with any value above -l t24x2 when using -L 4 on two of my rigs, but on a third one I have no problems running -l t60x2 -L 4
@king_pin
Did you manage to resolve this problem? I have the same issue, low hashrate ~2.5 kh/s and crash when autotune :/ What is your OS? Mine is Win 8.1 - maybe this is where the problem lies.

I have one rig with 970 and Win 8.1. Working right and hash is as good as Win 7 rig but not know if 750ti have some issues.

Dont overlock when use autotune and could use command what shows tuning. Just look what is the best setting before crash. Was it -D? Use autotune with one card at the time.

I hate to say it, but he's right about having the community supporting us- that is huge.  Ultracoin needs you.





However, I want to add something serious on the price matter.
As I have sad before, I have mined crypto longer than most of you have developed coins Smiley
I have survived even bigger drops, balloon pops etc. so dont worry, as long as there is support the coin will survive, and survival is key at the moment. The altcoin shakedown has begone we will see which once will remain.

Do we have our own block explorer and richlist that can be explored, to see how coins are being consolidated, and accumulated?
 http://ultrabex.com/  as far as i can tell this one only explores a single address or tx id, and you cannot see how coins are being redistributed?
am i missing something?


A richlist is on my list of things to do, along with tagging the stake blocks in the explorer too.  The data is all there in a mysql database- it wouldn't be tough to create a view with the top X UTC addresses.  It might be awhile before I get to it as I've been preoccupied with the wallet.
