Hi community.

I've added a p2pool node with a great worker tracker, check it out: http://q30.qhor.net:9171/
I also adapted p2pool-scanner for VTC, check out public nodes: http://q30.qhor.net:9172/

Please add me to the pools list.

Cheers

If TIPS is good enough for cryptsy then VTC should definitely be on there.

high difficulty already killed the half the hashrate.

Waiting for the promised kgw.

No, it's just variance. The hashrate shown in the client and on the pools is _calculated_, not measured. So if diff doubles (which it did) and blocktimes double as a result, the calculation will be off while things settle down.

It happened what I described..Nethashrate was above 400mh/s now is 250mh/s..net round is close to 4min so next retarget will be in~ 5 days or more, I guess more people will stop mining in next 12-24h cause now it's not profitable..umtil You fix difficulty I'm off to mine something else.

p.s. DOGE is also preparing against ASICs

full suport for boris, existing coins must be preserved.

Well, there is no risk to existing coins as such, but there is a risk of a fork to two blockchains growing at "significant" pace if people haven't updated in time. It would be very disorderly. We're pushing really hard to make sure things happen as fast as is safely possible - everyone in #vertcoin_dev has basically spent their entire weekend working on this. We're very very close to a release announcement now - just getting the new wallets uploaded.

Devs, show me one person that doesnt want to implement NOW

You, if you have any VTC or are mining it! For the reasons explained below.

So I think this KGW must be implemented NOW, not in 6th feb or so.. no reason for that.

Implementation will happen much sooner than that. I will post in the next few minutes with the full details.

Quote

And please explain me, why to wait?

It's necessary that users, _especially_ pool operators, update their wallet BEFORE the fork actually happens. If they didn't, the network would mine on the old legacy difficulty algorithm fork, and peoples coins mined on that fork would become invalid when they finally updated their wallets.

It is absolutely essential that time is allowed for an orderly transition. We have cut the time down to the minimum necessary to ensure that happens. As I said above, full details coming in a few minutes.

I dont understand, why not to implement KGW JUST RIGHT NOW?

Devs, show me one person that doesnt want to implement NOW

What is happening now is really dangerous for coin.. hashrate dropped to half and still dropping.. meaning this round it taking more and more time to finish and poor miners who are doing "hard work" to mine through lower diff wont be rewarded enough.

So I think this KGW must be implemented NOW, not in 6th feb or so.. no reason for that.
And please explain me, why to wait? I am noob in this, I just like VTC too much to let it die this way

Coin forks need to happen after sufficient notice is given, or else the whole network can get messed up. After the fork is announced, every pool, solo miner and vertcoin holder will need to update their wallet.

If you implement a fork without prior notice, then every miner would essentially be mining on the old, incorrect blockchain. This would be bad for vertcoin.

That is the _calculated_ hashrate

Quote

..net round is close to 4min

Which is why it's calculating the hashrate lower.

For me everythig is right..Right after diff retarget nethashrate was still high (+400) but then more and more miners left the ship, nethashrate dropped, rounds became slower cause difficulty was to high for current lower hashrate, estimated next difficulty dropped and it will settle down in ~5-6 days from now on next diff retarget. If You say I'm wrong then diff retarget should happen within 3,5 days as it should but it won't.

With the current hash rate and difficulty we are 98 hours away from the next difficulty adjustment. Undecided

Better make the KGW change sooner then later.

Difficulty adjustments are only 84 hours as designed! 98 is not so long.

KGW fork happening very soon - watch this space.

@mr.pj - that's a good joke, appreciated

.

Vert cgminer needs xintensity or raw intensity code, because the current code is not working right. With the current build, my 280x does not work with -g2 and -tc 8192, and these are the proper settings for a 2048 shader card.

Will not even discuss the difficulty. Wait until the coin is hit by 10 Ghs in this state, with no KGW

see my profile

coinedup drives me nuts. I would never go there, if not for VTC.
what a pity that this beautiful coin vertcoin is connected to such a depressive exchange.

Best thing I have seen in a while is coinmarket.io - smooth, clear, really fast.
And currently offline Grin

hashing everything is working fine - difficulty is that high because there are that many people mining...
