Oh right the testing units, forgot again about this.
Also, I revoked the Discord invite link as there were some spam and impostor accounts.
If someone wants to join, please PM me, or wait that somebody from Discord sends you an invite link.
For Sha512 I posted this issue here........
https://github.com/gapcoin/gapcoin/issues/14Different hardware favors different functions. SHA-512 is generally faster on 64-bit processors, SHA-256 faster on 32-bit processors. (Try the command line command!
SHA-512 also has over SHA-256 collision resistance, a term that in cryptography has a very narrow meaning. SHA-256 claims 128-bit collision resistance, SHA-512 claims 256-bit. If or when a practical quantum computer is built, we will need the 256-bit collision resistance.
So you just suggest to replace the current Sha256^2 used to get the work? The time needed to do this is negligible compared to the actual prime searching so there is no point using Sha512. I thought that you were thinking about some modification that could allow to use primorials bigger than 2^256 (which would indeed improve a bit the performance).
And if you speak about using Sha512 instead of Sha256 in general (for hashing transactions,...) for more security, Bitcoin would have done it if there were any need. For now, there is no reason to switch and you should forget about the Sha512 idea.
Seems hard to find peers automatically
Is Riecoin still strong connections?
No current nodes are hard coded right now but the network is here. Create a riecoin.conf containing the current known nodes
connect=nodes.riecoin-community.com
connect=78.83.27.28
connect=91.134.182.43
connect=3.8.97.40
connect=81.187.84.193
There are also more
here if needed. Riecoin has many solid nodes.
