Interesting. Would it be helpful if I updated the open-source miner? I don't have very much time right now in the semester, but might be able to sneak in a weekend. It's been two years - I bet I can find at least a 10% speed bump, though it's been a while since I've looked at my code.

A performance boost for the open source miner would certainly help promote better hashrate distribution.

+1 Here ... I might even start mining again. Grin

ok. I'm out of time for now, but as a start, I've:
(a) Merged the pull request for stratum support from the riecoin github account into mine, in branch "stratum".
(b) Started a little bit of code cleanup as I try to remember my way around the code. As a starting point, I
ripped out a little code in favor of using the primesieve library, fixed a bug with the choice of the number of
workers doing the sieve, and started moving the code a bit more to more-standard c++11.

this is all in github/dave-andersen/fastrie on branch "stratum".

is there any reason to keep the old ypool/xpt protocol version around, or should we just go all-stratum?

I'd be curious if anyone sees a performance difference or regression from that bugfix, but it won't
be more than a percent or three. Right now, my focus is on getting the code into a slightly
better place for further optimization. (Please don't expect miracles or be annoyed if they don't
manifest.

Sweet ... a good start ... looking forward for me open source. This is what makes a community stronger!

a riecoin pool ...

if someone can create a python hash to install - ill get it installed into the cwi-stratum and set up a pool to test / run the riecoin daemon ...

i can get started on this next week ... if we can get this working - this will make it for a higher distribution of miners ...

this is THE main reason when i first asked - about the 'algo' ... the name - the type - the hashfunctions that make up the algo that riecoin uses ... had i known this from the beginning - we could have setup something in the mean time ...

but - we are here now - and help would be appreciated to get the python hash organized and installed in the cwi-stratum - so that we can get a the riecoin pool into the cwi-poolsystem ...

let me know what you guys / gals think ...
