Changing the hashing algorithm
-
Yes that was something I wasn’t even thinking about, couldn’t use a system that could be abused, and just about all of them can be…

Maybe you need a centralised organisation, to help control the release of money, encourage spending by inflating and devaluing your money and discourage/encourage saving using a controllable rate to stimulate the economy. Oh wait…
Sorry :-X ^-^ ^-^

it is to fast now
But isn’t the whole point of changing the algorythm to slow that down V’s the asics for a while?
Finish the job and wait, sounding impatient there Mirrax ;)

LOL,
Can you hear that sound?
That’s mob coming up the hill to flay you for even suggesting it in jest.

I felt dirty just writing it. :)

The pace of the coins release was set when ftc launched. The algo change isn’t to try control the rate of the coins release as much as it’s to control the distribution of mining power.
-
So, would it be an idea to start a competition based around P2p nodes and spreading hash rates?
Obviously when everything settles down a little after switch
Thanks for clarification Calem

yes impatient and overexcited at the same time :)
Just can’t stop it with so much great development here…

Switched the PXC testnet to NeoScrypt: phoenixcoin-win64-0.6.6.0t.zip (Wallet + CPUminer, Windows 64-bit)
Solo mining works very well. P2Pool seems to work, but doesn’t count all shares, though submits all blocks found. Needs more work probably. Anyone well versed in Python to take a look?
Pool 1 (Amsterdam)
Pool 2 (Los Angeles)Testnet block explorer in case you need it. NeoScrypt is after block #3600.
-
Roughly how long you going to run the testnet? all weekend at least?
Busy today, but I can throw the 270’s at it tomorrow
-
This testnet runs since November of 2013. No GPU miner at this moment. Use your CPUs.
-
For numpties like me to mine on the pool I’m assuming we just use the mining in the wallet.
For the LA server I’m guessing we use
port 20554
for username the wallet address and can we just leave password blank?
-
Solo mining is working for me, already found 2 blocks other than letting my CPU mine it for a while, is there any other help I can do?
-
For the LA server I’m guessing we use
menoetius.phoenixcoin.org
port 20554
for username the wallet address and can we just leave password blank?Yes. Blank or whatever. You can also use “Pool Mining” for solo mining (server = http://127.0.0.1, port = 19554, username and password = what you have in phoenixcoin.conf). There will be a difference in performance though.
The wallet uses the reference C code for its solo miner. CPUminer (minerd) is powered by the SSE2 assembly code. It is also used for pool mining by the wallet. Try both and report your KH/s. For example, my 3GHz 4-core A8-3870K delivers 10KH/s using the built-in miner and 8KH/s using CPUminer (yes, it’s slower in my case).

I’m really excited about this new development but its not exactly being shouted from the rooftops…reddcoin seem to have an update every day through social medias.
Its getting people excited as you’ve probably noticed…saying that…I can’t help…had a chat with some locals about feathercoin in my sleepy German village pub…went down like a lead balloon…
Think they were more interested in winning the world cup…a joke one of them told me…what’s the difference between the English national team and a tea bag…the tea bag stays in the cup longer…
anyway…I’m waffling…good work fellas
-
it’s a shame rate of release can’t be tied to some form of community health indicator. But I guess there isn’t one that would be suitable or reliable.
Not exactly what you’re looking for I’m sure, but I use Coingecko as a “community health indicator”.
-
Interesting, but I can even that could be manipulated to get you up the ladder, as it also takes into account the number of followers on twitter, and facebook which is easily upped by making fake accounts, same with followers on github.
Same with people could make forks of the code, to raise its status, liquidity is a good stat though

Hi, i have downloaded the testnet and i am currently solomining with my CPU, is this all you need for testing? is there anything else we can do?
I take it these coins are pointless mining, just for testing, shame huh!

I take it these coins are pointless mining, just for testing, shame huh!These testnet coins are of no value indeed. You can post your CPU model and hash rate (wallet / CPUminer).
