farm/botnet/isntamine is not necessarily what is going on. but rather more users, finally directing their miners to monero.

The global hash increase was way too fast for this IMO.  Large server farm is the most likely explanation, I've seen it happen with other coins in the past.

Wow, I just saw that. I agree with tacotime, it looks intentional.
So you mean the BCN engine was curbed all this time, and they just add to remove it to artificially increase it?

That's disgusting.
regarding cryptonotes comment about greed. this should be posted for them.
From what I understood, source code is Bytecoin, not CryptoNote. According to what CN forum says, Bytecoin is a splintergroup of Cryptnote. I doubt CN should be held liable for anything related to source-code - CN is mostly the theoretical work and white paper, BCN the actual implementation.

not hold them liable merely point out this greed in that coin.
regarding HP: the taxation of miners is greed. I am glad they are reconsidering it. but also, their comment seemed to identify a percieved greed here that some also share and monero cant seem to shake.

I hope they would be more forthcomming in providing an example. because with these two other coins, I do not see monero more greedy. at the very least just as...but perhapse hash rate merely shows adoption of a trully anonymous coin with waht the market percieve fair launch. a few posters do not speak for the the majority. this thread alone has 21000 views. not all are posting.

Not sure what to say, but you are doing no one a favour with your bullshit relaunch. Everything is fair here, most coins i had i bought cheap at the trade thread like everyone else. It was easy to mine for a long time and still is.
Monero is making great progress, everyone who is on irc knows that. Zone is working hard on the pool etc.

You guys should be happy that there are people using their free time to spot that kind of "errors" and fix it, like noodledoodle.

Can you post the link for IRC please?  Can't find anything on the front page.

It appears from the simplicity of the fix that there may have been deliberate crippling of the hashing algorithm from introduction with ByteCoin.
Interesting. Could you extrapolate on this?

oaes_key_import_data calls are placed inside loops unnecessarily, which slows down the hash quite a bit during the scratchpad portions.

will you be able to compile this for us. the non initiated in computer programming and please post it to OP. thank you taco.


I believe the windows version already has this fix.

So the optimization is just not repeating two lines of code repeatedly and unnecessarily. LOL this really was an un-deoptimization.

Thanks. Makes sense, even if I don't know what oaes_key_import_data call are. Which proves that you are good a simplifying!

I firmly believe that noodle should not be part of development team.

Like I stated in IRC, I am not part of the "dev team", I never was. Just so happens I took a look at the code and changed some extremely easy to spot "errors". I then decided to release the binary because I thought MRO would benefit from it. I made this decision individually and nobody else should be culpable, especially the community of individuals who have come together to maintain and foster the software.

By the way, I'm not even a real coder, so whatever changes I made should be easy to spot; especially for experienced developers.

Cheers.

Thanks NoodleDoodle! Would it be possible to check in the changes to git? Or give tacotime the list of changes and have him check it in?

I just posted the commit

I've being following your much aggressive discussions for long. It will not lead to the good. All of us need to cool down now.

I decided to relaunch Monero so it will suit all your wishes that you had: flatter emission curve, open source optimized miner for everybody from the start, no MM with BCN/BMR and the name.
New Monero will be ready tomorrow, so we have time to discuss some points. You are welcome here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--599580
I will be glad to have some help.

Peace, bros!

I have arguments for you to ask about instamine. How many times should I repeat until you say something on the matter?

1) Open-source optimized miner: when?
Now, ND is submitting the PR.

Quote
2) Difficulty skyrocket overnight: why?
No idea, it's a private decentralized P2P network.

Quote
3) And if TFT assists you, how come you guys claim he's off the table on the previous pages? And if he actually helps, why do you still have a second rep, which you, tacotime, have to keep up to date?

Come on, stop pretending to see bots everywhere. I raise my concerns, you have nothing even to say regarding them. I think this is self-explaining.
I'm not sure why he doesn't update his repo. I have submitted PRs to it. Since it isn't being maintained, we have to maintain our own to ensure the fork stays up to date.
