What do we do? Gatra???

This coin has become a joke! Solo miners who attack the network by sending blocks when they want. But then 80% of the blocks!

I would recommend the few SERIOUS miners to quit mine Riecoin and look elsewhere.

What a crap!

This coin is not a joke, the network only now has low orphans, everything works well. There is also more than one solominer Simba, this coin is doing very well given the circumstances, just look at the price. . . Roll Eyes

Simba, what is it that you're trying to accomplish? Are you attempting to drive everyone else away from your profit center?

Riecoin has one real strength: It's got an intellectually cool proof of work, written by a developer who knows enough about the math involved to justify it. (Enough that I'm reading freaking bitcointalk when I should be trying to get my semester finished up.) It's not flashy, it's not making bogus promises to overthrow bitcoin (yet), it's just got something that's cool in a geeky kind of way that makes it a very worthwhile experiment in cryptocurrencies with a financially-useless-but-interesting PoW function.

I'd encourage you and everyone else involved in the coin to enjoy its geeky awesomeness, not try to tear it down. It's finding big 6-tuples. They'll hopefully get bigger over time. The code that gets produced is worthwhile on its own -- someone modified my miner code to find a world-record 6-tuple a while back. That's awesome, and more fun than producing code that iterates SHA-2 very, very quickly. (yawn).

And ziiip's right - look at the orphans chart: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ric/orphans.dws

Solid orphan performance with a fast block time, and this despite someone continually DDoS'ing the network.

And yes, there are a lot of solo miners, but (depending on whether you think RFqKLWLtx..., R9KQKgP1, are one miner or several) there are at least two different people, or groups of them -- the ones that mine to a single address, the ones that mine to a different address, and then the pools.

If we could get a bit of that hashrate spread slightly more over the smaller pools, this would be a really nicely distributed hashrate. It's a bit more centralized than bitcoin (https://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=4days), but it's nothing like the ypool days that you like to reference.

(And, let's be honest: I doubt anyone investing in Riecoin is doing so because of the current or previous state of the network. I wouldn't. The cool things are the PoW, Gatra, and that it's a long-running coin with several pools, exchanges, and a solid blockchain explorer.)

The miners are not interested in finding the most important sextuplet, even having the decentralization you say (part developers .... maybe?) Instead interest the coins ... We, for now, have 0% pool and transaction fee So we do not earn anything! In fact it's just a cost.

It remains the fact that BLOCKS ARE BROADCASTED IN RETURN by SOLO MINERS !!! If this helps the coin then you are crazy!!!!!!!
