Topic: *update client [ANN] BitBar New POW-POS scrypt CryptoCoin - page 30. (Read 60301 times)
FTC also had a few seconds blocks at the start. at least difficulty is constantly increasing on bitbar
How to start mining? Solo settings? Or pool?
chinacoin also had around 1-2sec between blocks at start
Because it too was pre-mined right in front of everyone's eyes.
Basically the difficulty of a new coin should be such that it is likely to be taking longer than its target time between blocks when it is launched, so that unless the author actually gets a few miners on board to help mine it, it could take hours per block at first with the author mining alone with only his own bunch of rigs... But as more farms come on board, within a few hours of launch, as miners wake up and read about the launch and start mining, the time per block should lower downward until the target time between blocks is reached.

would someone want to start a p2pool? All i get soloing are orphans. Poor poor orphans...
Been running for about a half hour and nothing so far. Kind of disappointing.
So, use -s 1?
-E 1 works . worked for NVC, BBQ, BTE, FTC, CNC[not so great but still beter than without -E 1]
What does the -E 1 flag do?

pretty nice to have a coin with blocks not in the 100's
Pre-miners, you mean.
This thing is being pre-mined right now, you are one of the pre-miners.
Blocks seem to be coming in every second or so, it is in pre-mining mode, difficulty deliberately started ridiculously low so the the author could start mining a block a second or more while you set up your mining then you mine a block a second or more while preparing to post and so on.
It looks like no attempt at all was made to set the initial difficulty at a reasonable level, instead the whole thing is designed specifically, like mincoin, for pre-mining.
How fast are blocks being found, and what is the command people need to use with e.g. cgminer to make it not expect at least a minute between blocks? (As otherwise no wonder everyone finds only stales, sixty blocks have gone by by the time they check for new work.)
This is basically deliberately designed as a pre-mining scam.

I normally jump all over the chance to dispute every ones definition of premine, but I cannot here.
If this is happening, it is the textbook definition of premine.
it wont start mining?
So, use -s 1?
i am getting orphans only. i guess its a netwotk-connection thing?
No, it is a pre-mining thing.
The coin is being pre-mined at something like maybe one second per block.
So waiting for a long poll, or for cgminer's default 60 seconds it waits if there is no long-poll, is useless.
You need to set -s 1 or something like that to make cgminer scan every second for new work since during pre-mining the whole point of pre-mining is to rake in blocks insanely fast before more miners get aboard.

what to put in CONF file?
Having way better luck with this than CHNCoin, which gave me like 90% orphans when it was at low difficulty. About a 50/50 split so far with this coin. Found 12 blocks so far.
I have 30 immature
I dont think this will fly, no one will mine for a day to get a .6 payout.

Strange, with --scrypt in my cgminer line I get nothing but New Block detected. With out it, I got a few rejects, but only ran it a minute or two...
Can someone with a block or two post their cgminer config?

any feathercoin or litecoin config will work. i'm using my litecoin config and just changed the host address.
Excellent, so you're mining with --scrypt and you've found a block? I'm trying now, haven't seen one yet, will try to be more patient!
