Quote from: tacotime

One minute blocks that are of size ~1 KB (most of the blocks right now) double the likelihood of a miner getting a block. Selfish mining only becomes a severe issue when blocksize becomes large.

You're the one who is concerned about the reward being too small in 10-20 years??!!

Obviously the goal is to create a design that is sound for the long term, not focus on a couple of weeks of easy mining when there are hardly any transactions on the network. As was pointed out before, solo mining for small (one computer) miners will sooner or later (most likely sooner) become non-viable whether blocks are one minute or two minute blocks. Maybe not in the first week, but if the coin thrives, it won't be long at all. This was a very short-sighted reason to speed up the blocks.

I'm not referring to selfish mining in any case, just regular (random) orphans. If it takes 3 seconds to propagate a block across the network, then with 60 second blocks you will have about 5% random orphans (where two different people solve a block at the same time; only one will survive). This gets much worse when the blocks get bigger (take longer to verify and forward at each hop). If it takes 10 seconds to propagate you are looking at 16% orphans.

Pools reduce orphans by concentrating hash rate and directly communicating with the hashers in a star pattern instead of a p2p. You won't be solving a block at the same time as one of your pool-mates very often (due to longpoll/stratum) and the pool will solve on top of its own blocks more quickly than any foreign blocks, so it will win more races. These effects combine to give pools a huge economy of scale.

Even with those 1k blocks you describe, there are already plenty of orphans, just look at the daemon output. Bytecoin with 2 minute blocks still has a lot of orphans too.

Satoshi was no idiot when he picked 10 minutes, and didn't just pull that number out of his ass. That may be slight overkill but 1 minute is going way too far in the other direction.

Edit : from 11 days behind now 10 days behind, this is going to take a while heheh

By the way, this is a bug (the estimate is double the actual time). This coin was launched on April 18, which you can check on the blockchain timestamps after synchornizing.

oh well, at least I got it to work, let's see if after downloading it will mine something.

Wallet:
Error: refresh failed: daemon is busy. Please try later. Blocks received: 0

bitmonerod:

set_log 1 active and it downloading blocks, how long do I have to wait to refresh and/or start mining?

You must wait until sync finish. You will get message in bitmonerod:

You are now synchronized with the network. You may now start simplewallet.

Please note, that the blockchain will be saved only after you quit the daemon wi
th "exit" command or if you use "save" command.
Otherwise, you will possibly need to synchronize the blockchain again.

Then you start wallet and mining.

Remember to type save in bitmonerod after sync to write blockchain to hard drive and use exit in bitmonerod when closing to save blockchain on hard drive. It does not write to hard drive automatic.

Hmm Installed the wallet and the bat file, wallet starts but cannot make it to mine, I get error refresh failed : deamon is busy please try later
blocks received 0

Ok just saw someone else with the same problem.

so basically just have to wait?

you need to wait for the network to synchronize, in the daemon type "set_log 1" and you can see what height you're currently on, synced is height 10000+

We are on block 10,000+, so give it a little while.

If you are on linux, you can use this blockchain.dat (put it in $HOME/.bitmonero)

HEIGHT = block number?

correct

Can you run Monero miner through TOR? If yes, what change would need to made to the bat file on the opening page? I'm using Windows.
thanks

As far as i know there is no proxy support? Can someone advice on this.

you can bind other ips/ports as given above. however, you should not use tor for mining as the latency is very high and you run the risk of your blocks being orphaned. use a vpn/vps instead.

Nice. Bytecoin is extremely confusing. https://bytecoin.org/ and http://bytecoin.biz/ Huh

This coin is based on Bytecoin.org, its not a BTC Clone. It was confusing for me also in the beginning Wink

Try to read up on the Bytecoin thread; https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bcn-bytecoin-secure-private-untraceable-since-2012-512747

I know, I was saying it is confusing to have two coins named the same thing.

Cant sync

in daemon type "set_log 1", you should see blocks downloading. else type "exit" and restart the daemon.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:78 (message):
Boost version 1.54 is unsupported, more details are available here

boost 1.54 isn't supported because it has a bug in it that breaks cryptonote coins. you need to install 1.53 or 1.55. ubuntu 13.10 has 1.53 as the default library, hence why it is recommended.

i highly suggest you just install ubuntu 13.10 alongside whatever your linux os is and mine with that, and if you want to use the wallet just run a vm. it took me about 2 hours to get it up and running on 14.4.
